What Liu didn't know was that she had indeed been cheated, and the person who cheated her was not someone else, but her most beloved youngest son.
For one tael of silver, people could buy the lowest quality tea at ten cents per pound.
The rest was gambled away.
Liu was a country woman who listened to her mother-in-law very much.
I haven't been to town for a long time. I had no idea that life outside has changed so much.
No one in the family kept it a secret from her.
In a sense, he is also a pitiful person.
Just when Mrs. Zhong couldn't drink any more, Lin Xing walked in.
"Mom, why are you here? Is there something wrong? If you have something, just tell me and I'll go back. Why did you come all the way here?"
When Lin Xing came in, Liu had a gloomy face.
She was unhappy because she felt that Lin Xing was rude and did not even greet her mother-in-law when she entered the house.
.......
"I came to see you about something. By the way, where is your son-in-law?"
"Xian'er's father went up the mountain early this morning. Grandma said she wanted to see if she could get some prey to exchange for money in town."
Lin Xing replied.
The Tan family bought land in the village because of hunting. Otherwise, how could they, as outsiders and refugees, gain a foothold in the village?
"Yeah, it's okay. It's the same if you tell your mother-in-law."
"Tell me? What's the matter that requires your in-laws to come and tell you in person?" Liu asked her.
Lin Xing also looked confused.
"Xingxing's second aunt is opening a shop in town and wants Xingxing to help out. The monthly salary is quite good, so I agreed to it and came over to tell you."
In fact, Li Yu did not say how much the wages were, but Zhong knew Li Yu's character, so it would definitely be a lot.
Hearing what Mrs. Zhong said, Lin Xing was very excited. Of course she was willing.
She knew that her second aunt's family was living a good life, but her mother-in-law still complained every day that her own family did not help the child's father.
Although she felt upset, she also understood that Second Aunt's business was not something she could interfere with.
It’s already very good that Second Aunt helps her brothers from her natal family.
As a married woman, how could I have the nerve to ask my aunt from my natal family to help my husband's family?
Now hearing her mother say this, she felt grateful and excited towards her second aunt.
And when he saw his younger brother Lin Jiang next to him, he knew that he was here to support him on behalf of his second aunt.
"I do."
"no!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, one was from Lin Xing, and the other was undoubtedly from Liu.
Seeing that everyone turned to look at her, Liu said.
"I don't agree. Your second aunt's business is in town. Do you still want to live there? Who will do the housework? Are you going to let an old woman like me do it?"
And your husband and children, you don't care about them? How can a woman go out to work?"
Seeing that Liu disagreed, she raised so many questions in a row, which made Zhong very angry.
Well, does that mean I can only rely on my daughter for family matters? Are all the other women in the family dead?
"Xingxing isn't the only woman in the family. If she leaves, won't you be able to live?
And my son-in-law is already a grown man, how can I take care of him? If there is no one to take care of the child, leave him with me and I will take care of him. "
"No, how can a woman go out to work in public? Wouldn't that be a joke?" Liu insisted.
This really made the Zhong family rebellious.
"You can't even afford to eat at home, and you still care about these things? If my son-in-law hadn't gone up the mountain to hunt from time to time, how could you afford to drink this expensive tea?
I told you today that I am here to inform you, not to ask for your consent."
Lin Xing also felt aggrieved. If it weren't for the sake of her husband and child, she would have dealt with the old woman long ago.
"Mother-in-law, please stop talking. I'm going to go no matter what. I also want my virtuous son to go to school in the future."
Seeing Lin Xing's persistence, Liu was also at a loss. Although she often acted arrogantly at home, she also understood Lin Xing's temper.
Moreover, Lin Xing kept the house in perfect order and she didn't have to worry about anything. Apart from being dissatisfied with Lin Xing's lack of knowledge of the rules, she was quite satisfied with him in other aspects.
If I leave, I will not care about myself and this family anymore when I can make money.
Finally, she came up with a good idea that would not only earn money to support the family but also allow Lin Xing to stay at home. So Liu softened her tone and said:
"How about this, let your second brother go, and he'll give you 10% of his monthly salary. That way you can earn money and take care of the man and the children without having to show your face in public."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room's expression changed.
Xiao Liu was surprised, while Zhong and Lin Xing were in disbelief. Even Lin Jiang, who had been silent the whole time, had an expression that was hard to describe.
