This is just a small amount of money. If I really get it, it won't last long.
Zhou Ying looked at the fifty yuan in Liu Xiaolan's right hand with burning eyes, feeling unwilling.
Although she also knew that this was the dowry that Shen Jiaojiao had obtained from Wang Erniu, but...
"Mom, now that the fifty yuan dowry has come to our house, it naturally belongs to us all. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to give this money to my brother-in-law alone!"
As soon as Zhou Ying finished speaking, Xu Zhengyang glared at her.
Xu Zhengyang felt ashamed.
My father has been lying in the hospital and has not woken up yet. My mother is the only one taking care of the family.
They work hard every day to support their whole family.
But in the end, they ended up embarrassing and making things difficult for their mother.
As the eldest son in the family, I have really failed.
"Zhou Ying, shut up! Don't say anything more." Xu Zhengyang roared in a low voice.
Zhou Ying retorted unconvincedly, "Why can't you say it? Since you want to split up the family, you have to make it clear!"
At this moment, Liu Xiaolan slapped the table.
The sound of "bang" scared everyone.
Liu Xiaolan looked at Zhou Ying coldly, "Okay, since you want to explain clearly, then I will have a good talk with you. I don't usually bother with you guys, but you think I'm easy to bully, right?
Old family, when you got married, I gave your family all the dowry, and your family's dowry was all quilts and pots and pans. You never took out any of these things for everyone to use? You used them all in your room.
Are you arguing with these old ladies? I have never asked you for a single thread or needle. You are so heartless to say this today.
As for the second brother's family, I don't need to tell you what happened to your family! Your family is a bunch of vampires. I gave you the dowry when you married into our family, but your family never spent a grain of rice with you. Do you think I'm going to blame you for all this? I never said a word to you about dowry."
At this moment, Li Ermei hated Zhou Ying.
It is because her family is full of vampires that she is so open-hearted to her husband's family and has never thought about currying favor with her family.
There was no mention of dowry either.
It's a bit embarrassing to bring this up again today.
"Mom, I didn't say I wanted to share Jiaojiao's dowry money," Li Ermei glared at Zhou Ying unhappily.
This guy is really obsessed with gain and loss.
Zhou Ying felt quite aggrieved.
She did all this for the benefit of the first and second wives, but in the end, they still blamed her.
What a heartless person.
Liu Xiaolan had already said this and there was no reason to stop.
He continued, "Since we are going to settle the bill, we must do so clearly. Your father has been living in the hospital since the accident ten years ago, and it is a considerable expense every month.
I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you might feel stressed, but the hospital fee is ten yuan a month. If it weren't for the third child who worked in the county town to earn some money during his free time, this family would definitely not have been able to survive.
You should also know how much the third brother has subsidized our family. Don't be so conscienceless as to calculate even the small dowry money from the third brother's family.
However, from now on, the medical expenses will be shared equally among the four of us, with each family paying $2.50 per month. No one can shirk this responsibility.
There is still some rice and flour in the house, which will be divided up when the time comes. There are definitely not enough pots, bowls, and pans to share among several families. When the time comes, you can buy whatever your family needs. The house is the one you live in now, and there is nothing to share."
Liu Xiaolan said tiredly, "Captain, please help distribute some food."
The captain said nothing and put all the food together.
One point is four.
In the end, each family received five catties of white flour, five catties of cornmeal, one catty of rice, a handful of wild vegetables, and two ounces of meat.
There is nothing else.
The captain felt embarrassed to look at such a small amount of food.
After dividing, he ran away quickly.
Zhou Ying felt that he had suffered a great loss. Not only did he not get any more money, but he also had to pay two dollars and fifty cents every month. He could not make ends meet.
She went back to the house angrily.
I thought it would be better if the family was divided.
But now I feel even worse.
"This is all we have at home. It's better to have nothing. Xu Zhengyang, I'm really unlucky to marry you."
Zhou Ying complained to Xu Zhengyang who came in.
A real shrew.
Xu Zhengyang took the food back to the house without getting angry...
"You know the situation at home. It was you who wanted to divide the family. Now that you have achieved your goal, don't say anything more."
Zhou Ying felt that Xu Zhengyang was a coward, and became even angrier.
"Why do I like you?"
Xu Zhengyang snorted coldly, "You are blind."
"You..." Zhou Ying really felt like she was going to be mad to death.
She turned her eyes and looked at the things she had been given.
"Why is there no pot?"
"There is only one pot at home, so we decided to give it to mom."
"What?" Zhou Ying screamed.
"Why? Just split up the family. There's nothing good in the first place, and you still want to give up the pot. Are you stupid?"
Xu Zhengyang glared at Zhou Ying. "Don't go too far. The pot was originally bought by mother. What's wrong with giving it to her? Zhou Ying, why do you have so many complaints about our family? My mother is good to you, isn't she?"
I have never hit or scolded you, so what else are you dissatisfied with?"
Zhou Ying cried aggrievedly, "Xu Zhengyang, in your heart you only have your mother and your two brothers, never your wife and children. Are you worthy of me?"
Xu Zhengyang took a deep breath.
I think this woman is really annoying.
Ignore her and go out to escape.
Zhou Ying was still cursing.
But no one paid any attention to her.
Even Li Ermei didn't come to her room to comfort her.
Because Li Ermei is also very irritable now.
Looking at such a small amount of food and then looking at these men, old and young in my family, oh!
They are all boys and they eat a lot. We are done for and are starving.
Li Ermei wailed.
"Wife, it's okay. I can just work harder and I won't let you go hungry. I can also go hunting in the mountains. I won't go deep into the mountains, but I can hunt some pheasants and rabbits outside, and I can get some meat for you to eat."
Li Ermei felt very relieved after hearing this.
In fact, it’s better to divide the family, otherwise it will be a mess when Jiaojiao marries into the family.
At most she could earn a few more centimeters, and the children at home had grown up, so she could cut some pig grass to supplement the income, and they could get by even if they were tight.
Li Ermei didn't have many problems.
She glanced at the food she was given and frowned, "How are we going to cook without a pot?"
"Hey, don't worry about that. I found a pretty big clay pot outside. You can use it.
If you are free and it is too crowded to cook in the kitchen, I will build a simple stove outside our house and we can cook at home. "
Li Ermei poked Xu Fugui's head and said, "If I hadn't seen that you are capable and down-to-earth, I wouldn't have married you."
Xu Fugui chuckled twice.
Then he approached Li Ermei in a somewhat obscene manner, "Wife, give me a kiss."
"Get lost."
Xu Fugui: “…”
