Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chen Ming knew what Mrs. Hu was thinking. He took the money and sighed, This money looks like a lot, but the family has a lot of expenses. Buying medicine and repairing the house are all gone in the blink of an eye. Then he said to Mrs. Chen, Mom, my family is either weak or sick, so I don’t feel at ease with putting so much money. Sanguan’s mother helps me keep it, and I will use this money to repair the house, mud bricks, wood for the kang, etc., and my eldest brother will go and get it. It’s also convenient.”

The old lady agreed and took it.

Chen Ming took another pound of money and gave it to Wang and said, I will go to the county town tomorrow to pay back the money for the medicine on credit, and then buy some medicine. The remaining two pounds of money are usually used to hire people to repair the house. We also need to buy pots and pans for Ah Fu and his son. As for furniture, if you don’t have money to buy it, just carry the furniture from the east room. There is still a lot of money left, just enough to buy two months of medicine. Alas, I keep eating every day. No amount of money is enough to take medicine.

With such a distribution, more than six dollars was gone in the blink of an eye, and the family was really having a hard time.

During the meal, Mrs. Chen still led her two sons and eldest grandson to sit on the Kang to eat. This time, Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Wang were also at the table, sitting on the edge of the Kang.

Chen Afu and several other children ate at the underground table. Even without Chen Aju present, Chen Dahu also showed his cute side. While eating meat, he looked at Chen Afu's clean face and said, Aunt Afu, your face is clean. You look so handsome, even more handsome than Aunt Aju.

Chen Afu smiled and said, Aren't you afraid that Aunt Aju will beat you if she hears this?

Dahu said nonchalantly, I'm not stupid. In front of her, I would say that she is the most beautiful little lady in our Xiangluo Village.

This child is really a generational trait, not like his father, like Chen Ye, and even a little more glib than Chen Ye.

Chen Alu and Dabao both laughed after hearing this.

This table is very friendly, but the table on the Kang is not. They are all watching Hu's big show.

Mrs. Hu repeatedly recounted the hard work of her husband, son and herself, ...Oh, I have been busy for more than half a year. No matter how windy or rainy they are, they have to run to the fields. They always look after you first. Let’s take care of our own land. Those who work hard are often so tired that they crawl on the kang at night and say “Ouch”. One day, it rained heavily, and my boss went to drain the water. He fell down and came back covered in mud and water. It makes my heart hurt... She also beat her chest and continued, Where can I find someone who cares about my brother so much? Anyway, except for the head of the family, I have never seen him... I, the eldest sister-in-law, is also a tired person. Ming, as soon as he entered the Chen family, he was as busy as a spinning top. The two uncles treated him like brothers...

Mrs. Hu was singing and doing beats, her eyebrows were twisted into a rope, her eyes were slightly narrowed, and her face was sad. When she talked about emotional parts, she seemed to be about to shed tears. She was pretty in the countryside, and she looked like a singer on the stage.

After listening to her words, people who didn't know better would have thought that Dafang was farming the land for free for Erfang, and Erfang took back all the food without knowing the reward.

Both Chen Ming and Wang were on pins and needles. Every time after harvesting the crops, Hu would sing this song.

These words were quite useful to Chen Ye. His eyes were full of smiles, but he scolded Mrs. Hu, You stinky bitch, what are you doing? Brothers and sisters are meant to help each other.

After hearing this, Chen Ming quickly served Chen Yeman a glass of wine. Said, Thank you, brother.

Chen Ye took a sip of wine, patted Chen Ming on the shoulder and said, I am the eldest brother. My father died early, so I should take care of my younger brother.

After hearing this, Mr. Hu added, It is said that the eldest brother is like a father. When the brothers were young, they relied on the elder brother as a father. But as adults, how many people can be as filial to the eldest brother as a father? After a pause, He added, Of course not all people are so heartless. Third uncle is not bad. He knows that my boss has worked hard to raise him, so he will always show filial piety...

These words made Chen Ye blush again, and he hurriedly cursed, You stinky bitch, why are you talking about this? We brothers support each other, and that's because we have a good relationship. Are you not saying that to take advantage of us?

Mrs. Chen especially didn't like hearing what Hu said. At first, the eldest son liked to hear it, so she didn't stop her. Now when she saw her eldest son scolding her, she also started scolding him, Listen to what you said, and those who don't know will think that their three brothers not only died, but also their mother died. You just When you become the mother of the second or third child, they should respect you.

After Hu's pause, Fang didn't dare to continue singing. If she tells the truth to the third child, they will continue to talk even if they stop her. Telling her will be beneficial and the scolding will be worth it. But Erfang's family is so stubborn that they don't deserve to be scolded.

Through observation and the descriptions of the two young wives, Chen Afu has a better understanding of Dafang's family. Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye are still good, relatively shrewd, with typical old farmer consciousness. They are not willing to suffer losses, but they are very good to their sons and brothers, and they will not do anything harmful to nature. Especially Chen Ye, he is enthusiastic, helpful and has a great face. But Mrs. Hu is selfish and has no limits, and is thick-skinned. She always wants to take advantage of everything. She will exaggerate and reap the benefits a hundredfold if it is her credit, but she has the ability to exclude any credit that is not hers.

Among the children in Dafang's family, Chen Agui is pretty good, diligent and down-to-earth, a bit like Chen Ye, but even more honest and less talkative than Chen Ye. This character is neither like Chen Ye nor Hu. When he was very young, he was sent to study by Chen Ye, who hoped that his son would become a successful child, but he just couldn't get into it. When he was twelve years old, he refused to study. Chen Ye had no choice but to send him to Fucheng to learn business from Chen Shi. It's a pity that he didn't like it either. He said that doing business was taxing his brain and gave him a headache, so he secretly ran back home after half a year. Chen Ye had no choice but to let him farm with him.

Chen Alan is gentle and diligent, and occasionally comes to the second room to ask Wang for advice on embroidery work. It's just that she dislikes silly Afu a little bit, but on the whole he's okay and won't bully her.

Chen Aju is like Hu, extremely selfish and evil, but not as shrewd as Hu. He has liked to bully Chen Afu since he was a child, and often beats silly Afu to tears. When they grew up, they even hated Chen Afu and Chen Dabao because of their disagreement with each other.

Mrs. Hu didn't dare to continue singing, and several people started talking about repairing houses for Ah Fu and Dabao.

The meaning of Chen Ming is to ask Chen Ye to help Zhang Luo, invite a few people to repair it, and his family will pay as much as others give, and then take care of a midday meal.

Chen Ye nodded and said, It's such a small courtyard with three thatched houses. It doesn't require many people. Agui and I will hire three more people and it can be repaired in ten days. You only pay those three people, and I and I You don’t need to give it to those who are expensive.”

Chen Ming said hurriedly, Then let's do it as it should be. We can't let the eldest brother and nephew's hard work go in vain.

Mrs. Hu also said anxiously, Yes, how can Second Uncle have the nerve to let you work for nothing?

Chen Ye glared and said domineeringly, Why not? Listen to me. He then said to Mrs. Hu, Do I have enough help for your natal brother? The second brother's family is having a hard time, so I can help my brother and nephew. You should be busy, and you are not allowed to secretly ask for money from them.

Chen Agui also nodded in agreement.
