Chapter 27 Losing Money (2/2)



Old Mrs. Huang said, "I have already made arrangements for the family. Your eldest brother will be back soon, and I will not let him leave when he comes back."

Huang Erniu was surprised. "Don't let my elder brother go to the mine? That's not right. How can we afford the family expenses?"

There is not much money to be made just from farming. After working hard all day, you can only earn enough to buy a bowl of porridge.

Since Huang Dalong went to work in the mine, he came back once every few months and could bring back a few taels of silver for his family.

Not only did it allow the family to have enough food to eat, but it also solved the problem of Huang Youwei's tuition.

If Huang Dalong didn't go to the mine, someone would do the farm work at home, but what about the money?

Huang Erniu hopes that Huang Dalong will come back to do farm work and make money at the mine.

Old Lady Huang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Is this something you should worry about? You just need to plant the fields well."

Huang Erniu felt as if the sky had fallen. "Mom, my elder brother is not working in the mines anymore, why do you want me to do farm work?"

"What? Now that your brother is back, you don't have to eat?"

This sentence made Huang Erniu choke.

Huang Erniu said awkwardly: "Mom, that's not what I meant. I actually think that my eldest brother works faster."

"Just because he works fast doesn't mean you don't have to work. We are a family together. If you slack off, your brother will have to work more!"

Tao Chunhua didn't dare to say anything, and Huang Erniu was even less brave.

When they got home, Chen Jingui came to greet them and asked what happened.

Old Lady Huang smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll help you. Is there anything I can't get?"

Chen Jingui glanced at Tao Chunhua, whose eyes were red, and said, "Sister-in-law, you should take a rest. Jingjing and I will prepare today's meal."

At this time, Huang Xiaojuan and Huang Xiaoman hurried over and were disappointed to see that the men had empty hands.

Huang Xiaoman said, "Mom, didn't you bring two boxes of snacks to grandma's house yesterday? Where are the snacks?"

Tao Chunhua said angrily: "Where is the grandmother? From now on, you will no longer have a grandmother's family!"

This time she was really disappointed.

Old Mrs. Huang noticed this. She didn't say anything, but there was a hint of smile in her eyes.

She knew that Tao Chunhua was a tough nut to crack. If she wanted to get every member of this family back on track, Tao Chunhua would be the hardest one to crack.

The second is Huang Youwei.

Well, Huang Youwei still has five months to pass the exam and become the top scorer.

There is still time to deal with it all.

The most important thing right now is to bring Tao Chunhua back on the right track.

At night, Tao Chunhua was still lying on the bed. She hadn't eaten lunch and didn't want to eat at night.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

The few taels of silver that I had saved through hard work and painstaking efforts were all taken away in one gulp!

To her, it made no difference whether the money was taken away by her parents from her natal family or by Old Lady Huang.

At this point, she had been angry for the entire afternoon.

Unexpectedly, at dinner time, Old Lady Huang brought a bowl of meat soup and said, "I know you are disappointed today. From now on, your husband's family will be your home."

Tao Chunhua could hardly believe her eyes and ears.

She took the bowl of meat soup tremblingly and stared at Old Mrs. Huang with wide eyes.

"Mom, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"It's not like that anymore. This is your man and your child. This is your home. Don't think about anything else."

Tao Chunhua felt warm at heart when she listened to this. It seemed that giving the money to Old Lady Huang was actually different from giving it to her parents' home.
