Chapter 13: Give Qian Yuemei an eye drop
The old Su family was filled with laughter and bustle.
Everyone in the Su family's face flushed with excitement and they were in high spirits.
Even Qian Yuemei, who was usually a bit sarcastic, was in high spirits and no longer spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Mom, Dad is so lucky." Qian Yuemei said with a smile: "This wild boar can be sold for a lot of silver. Erpan's clothes are too small..."
Before Qian Yuemei finished speaking, Old Mrs. Su understood what she meant.
"With the money, your father and I will never let our grandson down."
Old Mrs. Su said this in a neither soft nor hard tone.
"Mom, look at what you said. Of course I know that you and Dad love your grandson." Qian Yuemei said with a smile.
But his eyes couldn't help but glance at the little Tangbao in Mrs. Su's arms.
If she didn't have this sister-in-law, she certainly wouldn't be worried.
But now, the old couple obviously treat this girl as a treasure.
There's no guarantee that he won't save all his money and spend it on this girl.
Of course, Xiao Tangbao could sense the malice from this second sister-in-law.
Of course, she would not do such a thing as secretly telling tales.
but--
“Wow…Wow…”
Little Tangbao looked at Qian Yuemei and started howling.
She doesn't report secret things, but she can report things openly.
When little Tangbao started crying, Old Mrs. Su became a little panicked.
"What's wrong? My dear?"
There’s no way. Little Tangbao hasn’t cried since he wet his pants last time.
Old Mrs. Su thought from the bottom of her heart that her little daughter was smart.
Now the little girl is crying, something must have happened.
What's the matter?
He didn't wet his pants or drink milk, he just howled at the second child's house.
"Second wife, you go out first." Old Mrs. Su ordered.
Qian Yuemei secretly curled her lips, but a look of worry appeared on her face.
"Mom, what's wrong with my aunt? Is she sick?"
Old Mrs. Su's anger immediately soared.
"You're such a jinx! If you can't speak, don't speak!" Old Madam Su scolded. "Get out!"
Qian Yuemei was embarrassed.
After I married into the Su family, although my mother-in-law was not a very kind person, she would never scold her daughter-in-law casually.
But now——
He didn't give her any face at all.
Qian Yuemei snorted and walked out.
As soon as she left, little Tangbao stopped crying.
Old Madam Su looked at the little girl in her arms and said helplessly, "You clever little thing, all talk and no action. I wonder who you took that from?"
After saying this, a hint of contemplation flashed across his eyes.
Little Tangbao felt guilty.
She wondered if her little trick had been discovered by her mother.
"Ya ...
Little Tangbao waved his little arms and gave Old Mrs. Su a silly smile.
Those bright big eyes are full of innocence.
Old Mrs. Su: “…”
Maybe she was overthinking it.
Children can only instinctively feel what is good and what is evil.
In the yard, Old Man Su asked his two eldest sons to slaughter a pig.
Some young and strong men in the village also came forward to help.
Old Man Su looked at the people in the yard and said proudly, "My fellow villagers, tomorrow is my daughter's full moon. Don't forget to come and have a drink. We'll have a big pot of stewed meat, and I guarantee the fragrance will spread ten miles away."
As soon as Old Man Su finished speaking, everyone in the yard was surprised.
I have never heard of any family holding a grand banquet and celebrating the full moon of a daughter when she is born.
The Su family has given birth to so many sons and grandchildren, but they have never held a full-moon banquet.
Now he wants to do it for his daughter. It seems that he really treats this little girl as a treasure.
Little Tangbao, who was treated as a gold nugget, secretly applied eye drops to Qian Yuemei and fooled his mother, and he felt happy.
He practiced making sounds in front of Old Mrs. Su.
**
Under the dim oil lamp, the people of the old Su family gathered together, their eyes brighter than the oil lamp.
Very bright.
"Mom, is this the silver?!" Su Liuhu was the first to exclaim.
He looked at a silver ingot on the table with a look of surprise on his face.
Su Erhu looked at his younger brother with a mocking look.
"Nonsense! You haven't seen it before? I'll let you see it today!"
Su Erhu looks like he has seen a lot of the world
Although, he himself only got to know about silver ingots today.
A ten-liang silver ingot is enough to support a family for most of half a year.
Little Tangbao was held in the arms of Old Lady Su, blinking his big eyes with a look of curiosity on his face.
It turns out that this is an ancient silver ingot.
Well, she is also an old-fashioned person and it is her first time seeing it.
"Ya ...
Little Tangbao waved his little arms and drooled at the silver ingot.
"My little darling, you also know that silver is a good thing." Old Mrs. Su said with a gentle smile on her face.
"Ya ...
Yeah, I know.
Su Liuhu chuckled, picked up the silver ingot on the table and put it in his mouth.
"Xiaoliu, what are you doing?" Su Erhu asked immediately.
"Of course I'll bite it and see. People say you have to bite the silver to know if it's real... Ouch..."
Before Su Liuhu could finish his words, he let out a cry and spat out a silver ingot and a tooth.
He was at the age when his teeth should be replaced, but when he exerted too much force, his tooth broke out.
"Mom, my tooth fell out." Su Liuhu looked at Old Lady Su, almost crying.
Old Mrs. Su was both angry and amused. "Let's see if you can put anything in your mouth again!"
Everyone in the room looked at Su Liuhu and smiled.
Little Tangbao laughed particularly loudly.
When Su Liuhu saw his sister smile, he felt that losing a tooth was no big deal.
"Sister, Sixth Brother will also go hunting wild boars in the future, and use the money he earns to buy you some candy."
Su Liuhu vowed to please his sister.
"Ya ...
Thank you, Brother Liu, you are so nice.
Su Dahu became calmer, pointed at the silver ingot, two pieces of silver, and several strings of copper coins on the table, and began to report the bill to Old Lady Su.
"Mom, the wild boar meat sold for a total of 18 taels and 2 qian of silver. Then I bought 50 jin of cornmeal, 50 jin of brown rice, and 10 jin of white flour... In the end, the remaining amount was 15 taels of silver, plus 832 large coins."
The family's money is managed by Old Lady Su, and Old Man Su never interferes, so Su Dahu reports directly to Old Lady Su.
"How come it sold for so much money?" asked Mrs. Su in surprise.
You know, the eldest and the second brother only brought half a wild boar to sell.
We kept half of the wild boar meat at home for the banquet tomorrow.
Su Dahu explained, "Mom, in recent years, because no one dares to go hunting in the mountains, the price of game has more than doubled."
Old Mrs. Su nodded and understood.
Then, he handed Little Tangbao to Old Man Su to hold, and divided the eight hundred big coins into two parts by himself.
One was given to the eldest daughter-in-law and one to the second daughter-in-law.
"These are for you. If you want to buy some things for yourself, or save them for your own private collection, that's fine."
Zhao Chunhua was pleasantly surprised and said, "Thank you, mother."
