Miao Xiuying took out the family account book. The whole family lived and ate together, so all the money they earned had to be confiscated.
Except for Lu Xiao's share, he earned it through hard work. As the eldest and second sons, they took on family jobs, so most of the money would be handed over to them, and a small portion would be used as pocket money for their family.
Otherwise, how can I explain to the fourth and fifth sons? They are both sons and I can’t let them down.
If there is discord among sons, it’s all because of the elders’ lack of moral integrity.
She took a look, closed the account book, and said, "I won't talk about the eldest and second brother, but if you want to divide the family property in the future, you will also have a share of this money.
You have been filial to us over the years, taking the five or ten dollars. Your father and I are in good health, so we only need to see a doctor for a few illnesses or pains, so it doesn't cost much.
We are provided with food and lodging at home, and we are still able to earn some money, so we still have 831.53.4 cents left!"
As she spoke, she pulled out a large dusty box from the floor tiles at the foot of the bed. She patted it and opened it.
Seeing her trying to count the money, Lu Xiao quickly stopped her and said, "Mom, that's my gift to you. Take it and buy some good food and clothes with Dad. I have the betrothal gift!"
Miao Xiuying looked at him with disdain: "Go away, go away, go away, the betrothal gift is given by the old man, what do you have? You gave the gift to Xiaoyan, right? You have nothing! You have both?"
She carefully took out a golden nanmu jewelry box from the bottom of the box, which contained several pairs of exquisitely crafted gold earrings, two pairs of gold bracelets, and a pair of imperial green jade bracelets.
She touched it carefully, took out the box and placed it in front of Lu Xiao, "This thing, just think of it as my makeup for Xiaoyan, tell her to keep it carefully and don't let anyone find it.
Besides, wild boars cannot taste fine bran, so it would be useless if we give it to them, and it may also cause trouble. But the 800-plus yuan is ours now that you give it to us.
Then I'll give it to you as our betrothal gift to her. In addition, these three hundred are a small gift from your father and I to your family.
Don't refuse. Now that the two of us are full, the whole family will not be hungry. Don't you think about the future, when you have a baby? A baby will be a bottomless pit that can never be filled."
Lu Xiao looked at the golden bracelet with horror in his eyes. Is his family so rich?
How come I remember that his mother said the family was very poor and they had to chew on tree bark!
How come there is so much gold in one hug?
"Mom, is our family so rich?" His estimation of the family's financial situation was totally wrong.
Miao Xiuying felt embarrassed by what she said, and she pushed the blame onto Lu Jianguo: "Your father said that you are all money-losing goods, so you have to be careful! Who is like you, like a money-eating beast? Besides, some of this is what I earned in the black market over the years."
Lu Xiao looked at the fine lines at the corners of Miao Xiuying's eyes. The grown man's eyes were red, and he said dully: "Mother, it is my son who is unfilial, I...!"
Before he could speak, Miao Xiuying interrupted him, saying, "Since I gave birth to you, I have to be responsible for you. You guys should live your life well.
Your father and I, it doesn't matter if we suffer a little. Whose parents didn't go through this? Xiaoyan is from the city, you should take more responsibility, it's not easy for girls either!"
She closed the account book and the box, patted Lu Xiao's hand, and comforted him: "Don't feel any burden, the black market makes more money than you think, I have prepared the betrothal gifts for the second and fifth sons to marry!"
Lu Jianguo said seriously: "Listen to your mother, you are getting married, and this banquet must be held. Don't let Xiaoyan suffer."
Miao Xiuying put the things away, her eyes eager: "I'll take care of this, you take Xiaoyan to buy some good things, this girl, I really like her!"
How can I not like it? The gold is all out!
After saying that, she went out and took the food box into the kitchen, as if she had found a treasure: "Old man, come quickly, let's eat two pieces first!"
Lu Jianguo also had a bowl of rice and couldn't wait until dawn, so he joined in.
Lu Xiao held the heavy box and money, felt the love of parents for their children, and made long-term plans for them.
Miao Xiuying waved at him and said disparagingly, "Don't just stand there like an idiot. You should be guarding the door. Look at the way you look. Go to sleep!"
Lu Xiao looked helpless. Damn it, he was just tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
His expression softened, and his voice lowered a few notches: "Mom, then you and Dad should go to bed early, I'm going into the house!"
He held the gift given by Miao Xiuying and entered the room of the three brothers. The second brother, Lu Yan, was sleeping soundly.
He put the things away carefully. They were for Yanyan and could not be damaged in any way.
Seeing the person sleeping sprawled on the bed, Lu Xiao also felt sleepy.
I went out and washed up casually, then lay on the bed. All I could think of was Jiang Yan's soft body and angry eyes.
There is even a next step...
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Jiang Yan opened her eyes. Her hunting time had come!
Jiang Yan looked at the dark room and the few people snoring in the room.
She curled her lips and said, "Oh, what a pity, I can't sleep!"
The class of Little Sunflower Ginger Brand is about to start.
What to do if the best girl always makes trouble? Of course, beat her up!
Take the path of the best and leave the best with no way to go. Comrades, learn this!
She opened the door and went out, found a broken wooden board, with a devilish smile on her lips.
She walked into the house, closed the door, closed her eyes and hit several people.
"Ahhh, my face!"
"Oh, my hand, my hand is broken."
"Um, my mi...!" At this point, I got stuck because Tomato didn't allow me to say it.
Several people were lying on the ground, groaning in pain. Seeing Jiang Yan sleepwalking again, their eyes were filled with despair.
Why are they the ones who are unlucky? Why doesn't Jiang Yan just die?
Mao Dahua gnashed his teeth in hatred, but he couldn't win, so he could only be forced to remain calm.
Jiang Yan walked forward with a board in his hand. Some people retreated holding their quilts, shaking their heads and waving their hands: “Don’t… don’t come over!”
"Jiang Yan, we were wrong, stop hitting me!"
"Wow, what sin have I committed?"
Jiang Yan's board approached, and several people covered their faces and screamed uncontrollably, "Ah..."
The board stopped three centimeters away from them.
"Stand up!" Jiang Yan ordered!
After hearing this, several people looked at each other, not understanding what was going on today.
Mao Dahua stood up trembling, he was really scared of being beaten.
Liu Xueer and Zhao Shuhua were in tears and wished they could hug their weak and pitiful selves.
Xu Laidi and Wang Qingya also looked like they had lost all hope in life.
The five people stood together, their eyes avoiding, and none of them dared to look at Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan was about to burst out laughing when she saw them being humiliated. You bastards, you are too young to fight with me!
Looking at the Tomato Era novels, even if the heroine is not the main character, she is quite immoral.
She pointed a wrench at Mao Dahua and said, "You, stand up!"
Mao Dahua pointed at herself, uncertain: "Me?"
Ahhh, is Jiang Yan deliberately targeting her? She even sleepwalked and didn't let her go?
Liu Xueer hurriedly pushed her out and said awkwardly, "Sister Mao, I'm calling you!"
Zhao Shuhua's smile was also very stiff, "Sister Mao, hurry up, don't provoke her."
