Chapter 67 Zai'er is missing
It turned out that Patriarch Chen’s daughter-in-law had sold the golden ears she planted, and she got more than three guans for fifty of them.
Sanguanduo means more than 3,000 yuan, and buying rice can buy six or seven shi, enough to feed a family of five for half a year.
You can earn it easily in just over a month without having to miss out on farm work. Who wouldn’t want such a good thing?
So Han Miaoniang, the second daughter-in-law of Patriarch Chen, said to the fourth sister-in-law, "Can't you divide the fifty flowers into separate plants? I don't want more, just give me a hundred plants."
Of course, the fourth sister-in-law Shao was unwilling and ran to her mother-in-law Tang to cry.
When Mrs. Tang heard this, she became angry and ran over to scold her second daughter-in-law: "You have such a dark heart. You don't like us mothers, right?"
The Tang family is not Han Miaoniang's biological mother-in-law. She is the stepmother of the patriarch Chen Fu. She only gave birth to one son, Shilang Chen Zhu, and a daughter who is already married.
Both Chen Dalang and Chen Erlang were born to Chen Fu's ex-wife, so the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law never took this step-mother-in-law seriously, and would sometimes quarrel with her, making the daughter-in-law not like the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law.
The second daughter-in-law sneered: "Look what you said, why do you say I can't see you? Dad didn't say we can't ask for the seeds of the fourth brother and sister's golden ears."
Tang was furious when she heard this and immediately ran to question her husband.
"Tell me, are those golden ears for the fourth daughter-in-law? Why does the eldest son and the second daughter-in-law also want to grow them?"
She was Chen Fu's second wife. She only had one son, Chen Silang, and her precious son was sent to the army by Chen Fu. How could she not be heartbroken?
Finally, the old man's conscience found out that he wanted to find a job growing golden ears for the fourth daughter-in-law. As a result, the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law became red-eyed and kept looking for trouble.
Patriarch Chen picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and said lightly: "What a big deal, those golden ears don't all have mycelium, so it won't matter if they are taken out separately."
"What?"
Tang sat down on the chair, clapped her legs and started crying: "You old killer! I married you because I was blind. Oh my God, I won't live anymore. Your Chen family is trying to force my mother to death." . My poor Zhuer, not only went to serve as a soldier for his nephew, but his wife and children are being bullied at home."
Patriarch Chen's forehead was throbbing with veins. He slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Is it over yet? Who has bullied Zhu Zhu's wife and children?"
Tang jumped up, pointed at Chen Fu and scolded: "You old thing, you said you didn't bully them. Zhu's daughter-in-law just got three guan, and some people don't want to see her. Why, you are the boss and the second one?" My biological son, Zhuer, did I steal someone else to raise him?"
"What the hell are you farting at?" Chen Fu's beard trembled in anger.
At this time, the second daughter-in-law Han Miaoniang said angrily outside the window: "Whoever bullies others will die immediately. Oh, then only the fourth daughter-in-law can grow golden ears, but we can't grow feelings?"
When Mrs. Tang heard that she was angry, she picked up a vase and rushed out of the house, throwing it at Han Miaoniang.
As a result, he used too much force and threw the bottle over the low wall and hit Chen Sanyou's house next door, almost hitting Chen Yin's head.
Not to mention the chaos in Patriarch Chen’s family, brothers Li Dayong and Li Eryong were overjoyed.
The two of them planted a total of two hundred golden ears and fifty snow ears. This time they got a total of fifteen taels of silver.
Fifteen taels, they have been saving for more than ten years and have never been able to save it.
"Brother, let's plant four hundred flowers this time." Li Eryong touched the ten taels of silver ingots and was reluctant to move his hand.
This was the first time he touched a silver ingot in his life. He never thought that one day he would own one, no, two silver ingots.
The blind father asked from the side: "Son, how about letting dad touch the money?"
Li Eryong put two silver ingots into his father's hand and said, "Touch them."
Old man Li touched the two silver ingots, one large and one small, and started to cry.
Li Dayong and Li Eryong were startled and asked quickly: "Dad, why are you crying?"
"Uuuuuuuuah, my life is worth dying."
Old Man Li rubbed the money with his old face and cried: "It's a pity that your mother died early. If she knew that her son would be so promising one day, why would she have to suffer for a few more years?"
Li Dayong and Li Eryong looked at each other, sighed, and said to Old Man Li: "Dad, when the golden ear is planted, we will go to Beishan to pay homage to our mother and give her a good news."
"Okay, take me there then." Old Man Li wiped his eyes and said, "I haven't seen your mother in many years."
…
Just after the Ghost Festival in July, Jiang Dalang’s sow gave birth to piglets.
She actually gave birth to eight piglets at once, which made Jiang Dalang very happy.
"Erlang Sanlang, when the time comes, each of you will take one to raise, and the rest will be sold."
Jiang Erlang and Jiang Sanlang both shook their heads, "No, I don't have time to raise him."
Their family is too busy, and their children have to go to school, so there is no time to raise pigs.
Jiang Dalang scratched his head and sighed: "Then send two to Nanpo for the second boy to raise. They can kill them for meat during the Chinese New Year next year, and buy the rest when the full moon comes."
Nowadays, everyone in the family is busy making a lot of money. There is no free time to raise pigs. Only Jiang Quan has nothing to do. He spends his days trapping birds and hunting rabbits.
Even Ying Bao, who is just over three years old, knows that he can grow golden ears to make a living, but that kid is just a fool. He only thinks about pulling water chestnuts to sell. He also says that he just likes selling things and doesn't like growing golden ears.
Now, except for Yuanbao Huzi and the twins, the Jiang family is still ignorant. Even Dani and Erni have begun to grow golden ears and snow fungus, saying that they want to make their own money and spend their own money like Yingbao did.
Time passed day by day, and soon Piggy was full moon.
The sow has plenty of milk and has raised eight piglets that are plump and plump, which is very gratifying.
The happiest person among them is Wen Hengyin.
He secretly came over every day to feed the sow Ahua. He felt very satisfied when he saw the cubs sucking milk from Ahua's belly.
One day, when he came to feed the piglets again, he found that there were two piglets missing.
what happened?
Wen Hengyin hurriedly counted twice.
There are indeed two missing.
"How did you take care of the cubs?" Wen Hengyin couldn't help scolding Ahua: "You don't even know there are two missing?"
Ahua hummed at him a few times and lay there ignoring him.
Wen Hengyin returned home disconsolately, and was so depressed that he didn't sleep a wink all night.
When I came back one day later, I found that there was only one cub left in Ahua's belly.
Wen Hengyin was anxious and wanted to go in and hug the cub, but Ahua jumped up and attacked him.
"are you crazy!"
Wen Hengyin could only retract from the wall, jumping up and down in anger, but he did not dare to go in again.
The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. He turned around and ran home to cry to his mother: "Mom, go and save your grandson. They are all about to be stolen. Wuwuwuwu..."
Xiao Zhenniang's hand holding the pen shook, thinking she heard wrongly: "What did you say?"
"Your grandson has almost been stolen. Go and buy it back..." Wen Hengyin sobbed, feeling extremely sad.
I worked so hard to raise the cubs to such a big size, but I didn’t expect that only one would be left in the end.
He was sure that if he didn't care, he wouldn't even be able to see that one tomorrow.
"My grandson?" Xiao Zhenniang's face darkened, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"No... I'm not talking nonsense. It's true." Wen Hengyin sobbed and said, "It's in the Jiang family..." in the pig pen.
Xiao Zhenniang stood up: "Okay, take me to have a look."
So, the mother-in-law came to Jiang's house, next to the pig pen.
When Xiao Zhenniang saw her "grandson", her expression was calm.
She glanced at her son lightly and asked, "Are you sure this is your child?"
Wen Hengyin nodded seriously, told what happened that day, and finally defended: "I...I didn't want to..."
The corners of Xiao Zhenniang's mouth twitched, and she suppressed laughter, saying, "Then just wait, I'll go to Jiang's house and buy it."
