Chapter 1973: The ancient little widow in the rebirth text 22
Father Zhou knocked on the cigarette pot and made a final decision: "Er Zhu, you have been away for these years. My mother and I depended on the eldest and the third to take care of me. Now that you are back, I have to make a new plan for your mother's retirement. Bylaws."
"Dad, you just say it."
On Tuesday, Zhu had a lot of complaints in his heart. Hearing his parents talk about the hard work of pulling his brothers, all those words were kept in his throat.
For the grievances Lichun and Anle suffered, he will compensate them well.
On the parents' side, Tuesday Zhu hoped that they would be content and not trouble Lichun and his daughter.
"You are now a general. Our Zhou family is not as good as before, and it is also considered a figure in Shili Baxiang. According to my father, you should take out the money first and give your brothers, brothers and nephews in the country. tile house."
Watchers, please note that when Father Zhou said one person builds a large tile-roofed house, it is not for Tuesday Zhu to build a large house.
Even if it is cheaper to build a house in the countryside, the manpower and material resources are not a small amount to build seven or eight yards.
Shu Ange was really ashamed of Father Zhou, and it was as if he was taking advantage of his son.
"Father, the house does need to be built, but it doesn't need to be built so much."
Tuesday Zhu is also a general, how can he be taken advantage of so easily.
He did not reject Father Zhou's words, but he left a lot of leeway.
To say that Father Zhou had no psychological burden, he bullied his dull second son before.
Now that their second son has suddenly become a general, they are still a little scared. When Father Zhou met the village chief, he was a coward who didn't dare to say anything.
Zhou Laosan squinted his eyes, fiddled with the grass stalks in his hands, and leaned forward with a hippie smile: "Second brother, you are developed now, don't forget your own younger brother. I have been very tight lately, and you can give me dozens of Two silver coins to spend."
On Tuesday, Zhu turned up his face and stared at the third child of Zhou: "the third child, I ask you, did you start and force An Le to marry into the He family for happiness."
Although the He family has already been punished, but Tuesday Zhu's heart has not yet let go.
Why should his daughter on Tuesday Zhu be bullied by this child?
The eldest and the third family have daughters. They want to earn that unconscionable betrothal gift, so why should they push their daughters out?
On Tuesday, Zhu Shishan has been wandering in the sea of blood for many years, and he has a certain momentum when he is fierce.
Zhou Laosan shrank his neck in fright, looked at the old lady, and said: "It's not all my own idea, my father and mother also agreed."
Xiao Wang took two steps back and hid in the crowd, not daring to make a sound, for fear that Tuesday Zhu would find him to settle accounts in the autumn.
Mrs. Zhou understood that what she had done was inauthentic, and said that she had no regrets in her heart: "I still mention what to do with the past, when the family was in a difficult situation. Instead of leaving Anle and enduring hardships at home, it is better to send her to her. The He family lived a prosperous life."
"The He family is mean and unkind, and there is no humanity in their work. No one knows who is in ten miles and eight towns. You are not letting Anle enjoy happiness, you are pushing her into the fire pit."
When Song Shi said this, his face was already full of tears.
She is just such a daughter, who has always been in pain at the top of her heart, but she has suffered such a big loss.
Seeing that Song's emotions were out of control, Mrs He hurriedly made a round: "Sister Lichun, don't be sad, you are a kind mother, everyone knows that. Parents and mothers are also kind. Who would have thought that the He family could even treat the daughter-in-law that Mingmi is marrying."
"That's right, could I still harm my own granddaughter?" The old Wang shouted righteously, and his impression of the talkative and generous He was a little better.
Tuesday Zhu couldn't hear his eyes, he took his wife in his arms, and said seriously: "Father, mother, eldest brother, third brother, and sister-in-law and sister-in-law. I've been away from home these years, and the grievances Lichun has suffered are not completely to me. do not know."
"Er Zhu, what are you talking about, if you marry a daughter-in-law, you don't even want your own father and mother?"
Father Zhou put a big hat on, and Zhou Zhu was not afraid: "I don't hide it from my parents, my son, although I created my position as a general, but without the care of the court, it is nothing. Dad, Mother, I will pay for your future expenses every year, and I will take Lichun and Anle to the southwest."
Lao Wang was dumbfounded. She was still thinking about going to the southwest with her second son and dragging the general's wife's record: "Are you going to throw us to Xiping Village and be an unfilial son?"
"Mother, that's not what my son means. The imperial court has regulations that border generals cannot bring their wives, children and children to the frontier. You and your father can rest at home with peace of mind, and I will give you filial piety money every year."
Zhou Zhu's attitude was firm, and Zhou's father and his wife were crying or howling, but they didn't persuade him to change his mind.
The court decrees have been carried out, and Tuesday Zhu will not change his words.
Crying and arguing to no avail, Father Zhou and Mrs Wang fought shamelessly, and in the end they took out another fifty taels of silver from the hands of Zhou Zhu and his wife.
After taking the money, they felt more at ease.
That night, Lao Wang was lying on the kang tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and kept sighing.
Father Zhou was upset by her troubles, he reached out and patted her on the back and asked, "You're making a pie, and you don't want anyone to sleep."
"My son, I feel panicked in my heart. You said that the second pillar of our family has become a general, which is a good thing to honor our ancestors. It's hard for us to be a parent, and it's hard to rely on him to play the general's prestige."
"Shit, fifty taels of silver are about to arrive, what kind of prestige do you want to play?"
Father Zhou has been useless all his life, and he never thought of showing off his prestige. The most important thing is silver.
"It's only fifty taels, and the magistrate has such a big family business. The general is no more powerful than the magistrate, and he must be richer."
Old Wang really got it wrong on this point. The magistrate has a way to get money. Whether it is to use their power to do business to give convenience to others, or to loot people's fat and cream, they can get money.
The general wanted to get money at the poor border, but it was even more difficult. The dark-hearted made money by deducting food and wages and pensions for fallen soldiers.
A good general like Zhou Zhu, who is dedicated to his comrades, can only live on the rewards of the imperial court and his monthly salary.
"What can I do? The second child didn't say that he will give money to the family every year."
"You stupid old man, when he goes to the southwest, the sky is high and the water is far away. If there is no news for another seven or eight years, will you still be able to enjoy his blessings?"
Father Zhou simply lifted the quilt, sat up from the kang and asked his wife, "What do you want?"
"I thought to myself, this man doesn't have any heart or guts. He relies on the pillow and wind to work hard. Isn't there a cousin and niece in my parents' house, just at the age to say kiss."
"You are thinking?"
Father Zhou and Lao Wang have been husband and wife for a lifetime, and she understands what she means right from the start.
Lao Wang touched the gold bracelet in his hand and said excitedly: "In the past, our family was poor, and we didn't dare to give concubines to a few sons. Now that Erzhu is promising, I will go back to my mother's house and mention that they are willing to send my daughter to the caretaker. come over."
(Momada little angel, I love you!)
