Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chen Ye was unhappy when he heard that Mrs. Hu wanted him to get the second parrot. He said, My children also like other people's things. Why should I give them to you?

He also said that his two brothers were already very good, and he always remembered his friendship in supporting them. The third room built a big house for them, and the second room just started to live a better life, so he often sent food and drinks to his family, and also gave them so much satin. Tell her not to be so short-sighted and want everything. If this continues, their brotherhood will be diluted...

While Chen Ye and Mrs. Hu were talking, Chen Agui walked in and said, Mom, just listen to my advice. It's not good that you always ask uncles for things like this. Dad and I work day and night. , I haven’t wronged you and my sisters. Our family is now a wealthy family with a better life in the village, so you can save some face for dad and me. And Aju, mom needs to teach her well.

Chen Agui is a dull person who doesn't talk much. It's rare for him to talk so much.

Chen Ming said, Agui is right, you should be more careful Aju, you are almost looking for someone from your husband's family, and you are still so ignorant.

Hu thought of this and endured it for a while before suppressing what she wanted to say.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, as long as Luo Mei and Luo Kaicheng did not come to play at home, Chen Dabao would be busy going to the east end of the village to collect firewood. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon, he would pick up more and save it. When they go to Fucheng at the beginning of next month, grandpa will have something to burn. Sometimes Chen Afu would accompany him when he finished what he was doing.

After twenty days, although many corn stalks were hauled back to the yard, they were not dry yet. They had to wait a few days for them to dry completely before they could be burned as firewood.

If the little brother and sister come, Dabao will play with them, and Chen Afu will also try his best to get some food.

That night, the first autumn rain came. It rained continuously all night.

The next day, it was already time for Chen Dabao to finish writing the big characters. Seeing that Luo Kaicheng's sister and brother were not here, he consciously took Zhui Feng to the village and asked Xiao Shitou and Sixi Zi to collect firewood together. Xiao Shitou and Sixizi don't need them to collect firewood at home, but they are willing to follow Dabao to play in the woods.

Chen Afu advised, The ground is still a little wet, why don't we go tomorrow?

Dabao shook his head and said, No, I need to save more firewood for grandpa.

Chen Afu could only follow him. Qiqi and Huihui still wanted to play with them, but Chen Afu told them, If you want to play, just fly a few laps in the sky, or go to the forest in the mountains. Be sure to stay away from people and don't get caught.

After hearing this, Qiqi and Huihui spread their wings and flew high into the sky.

Chen Afu took the clothes he made for Yang Qian and went to the east room of the old home to make them. She was doing some work while talking to Chen Ming and Wang.

At this time, Mrs. Hu came. She didn't call at the door, but opened the fence door directly and came in.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to welcome her into the east room.

Chen Afu had already put the satin for making small clothes into the kang cupboard, and he felt extremely depressed. Using his own satin to make clothes was like a thief.

Mr. Hu's face was filled with a rare spring breeze today. After chatting with them for a while, he said, Hey, where are your two birds?

Wang said, Going out to play.

Mrs. Hu smiled and said, I will show my second uncle and my younger siblings how to make money, and your family's life will be better in the future. I heard from my fifth child that he has a friend from the county, and he especially likes people who can talk. Parrot, let my fifth brother collect it for him. He said it’s five taels of silver for a parrot. Tsk tsk, two is ten taels. This money is enough for your family to make more than a year. How about, let my fifth aunt pick one up. Guanxi, help you sell that bird? For us country people, the most important thing is to have enough food and clothing, how can we have the spare money to keep pets like rich people do.

Chen Afu, Chen Ming, and Wang cursed secretly. Do you think they are fools? Qiqi and Huihui can talk a lot and know their way home. Such smart parrots should be the most expensive birds in the bird market. Each one can be sold for at least a few hundred taels of silver.

They now have a very deep relationship with these two birds. No matter how difficult the family is, they will never sell them, not to mention they are not short of money now. When Tangyuan bought it at a high price, Dabao was reluctant to sell it.

Chen Ming refused directly and said, Thank you, sister-in-law, for thinking of us when we have this opportunity to make a fortune. However, these two parrots are like our family now, and we are reluctant to sell them no matter how much money we make.

Wang added, We don't dare to sell it. Manager Luo told my Dabao that his little master likes these birds. When his sister comes to Tangyuan in the future, Dabao will have to let Dabao take them to accompany his family. Sister is playing.

Mrs. Hu's face darkened and she said, Knowing that you are fawning over Manager Luo, you wouldn't want to get involved with him in a big way, right? My fourth brother-in-law is a poor man in the yamen. Last year, he accompanied the county captain. We had dinner at Steward Luo’s house, and we didn’t hesitate to talk about it. No matter how good you and Steward Luo are, have you ever dined at Steward Luo’s house? Is it as good as my fourth brother-in-law’s relationship with him? What do you call his mistress? I like it, so I have to play with this bird. I have heard that there are many birds in wealthy families, and they hang all over the yard. The master of Tangyuan is from such a wealthy family, how can the little master care about these two shabby birds in your house? Bird? My fifth brother was kind enough to help, and you even got Joe.

She really felt that the master of Tangyuan would not care about these two birds, and she definitely did not expect that these two birds would be sold for huge sums of money, otherwise she would not be so calm at all. What Hu Laowu told her was that he could sell the two birds for twenty-five taels of silver each in the county town. He kept twenty taels and gave the remaining thirty taels to Hu. Mrs. Hu thought that she would keep twenty taels for herself and give Chen Ming ten taels. This was already good. Who would have thought that his family would not want to sell it.

Chen Ming said slowly, We are not taking Qiao, and we don't need Hu Laowu's kindness to help us. These two birds are like our family members, and they will not be sold no matter how much money we pay.

Seeing what Hu wanted to say, Chen Afu said with a half-smile, Uncle, my grandma told us that if you come to my house behind my uncle's back again to anger my father and make my father fall ill, let us tell you She, she will set rules for you. If you go too far, she will tell my uncle that you don't care about my third uncle crying for a house.

Mrs. Hu's heart sank. How could the old lady and her second wife know about that? It seems that the third child is not an honest person. It's a shame that he keeps saying good things about him. .

She was so angry that she stared at Chen Ming and asked, Second uncle, it turns out that my sister-in-law served you wholeheartedly before we were separated. You are so ungrateful that you let your daughter treat me like this?

Chen Ming laughed sarcastically a few times and said, Sister-in-law, I have always remembered the kindness of my elder brother, and I have always remembered your love. It turns out that before we were separated, you 'served' me really well. . If you hadn’t been so virtuous in those years, I would have been as troubled by some things as my third brother.

The word service is very strong.

Mrs. Hu just remembered how she had scolded Chen Ming before the family was separated. Over the years, she often talked about how she served her brother-in-law. After talking for so long, even she mistakenly thought that she was so virtuous in the past.

Thank you Jane and Rose, the ahhhhhhh goddess, and Hera @Qianlin for your wallet.
