Chapter 109 Chapter 109 Let’s talk about this side, Lu and Mo…
On the other hand, it would be a lie to say that Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Mo were not touched or excited after receiving so much wages. Mrs. Lu was okay, as she was in charge of the family's money on weekdays and had seen the world, so her expression was a little calmer. But Mrs. Mo was different, as her mother-in-law was the head of the household on weekdays, and even if she had a few copper coins occasionally, she would spend them on her daughters. How could she have had so much money on her?
Moreover, all these silvers were earned by herself, one copper coin at a time, so they were incomparable. Mrs. Mo was excited and her face turned red. It was not until she returned to the village in Zeng Laoer's mule cart and the low house was getting closer that Mrs. Mo calmed down.
"Fourth Mother, Second Brother Zeng, I'll be leaving first." Mrs. Lu got off the mule cart at the door and said goodbye to the people on it.
Mrs. Lu, "Okay, then we'll go back first. See you the day after tomorrow."
This time they will rest for three days, and just now on the way they discussed that they would go back together.
After spending some time together, not only did Chen and Lu's relationship develop rapidly, but Mo and Lu's as well. Knowing that the Huang family didn't have a mule cart and it was difficult for them to travel, Lu said this.
Mrs. Mo was not polite and agreed with a smile, "Okay."
I have to say that the fate between people is so wonderful. In the past, Mrs. Mo did not have a good impression of Mrs. Lu. She just thought that Mrs. Lu and Zeng Laoer were a lazy man and a lazy woman, who did nothing all day long. When the old village chief died, they would be finished sooner or later.
In fact, Mrs. Lu did not have a good impression of Mrs. Mo. She always felt that Mrs. Mo was too fierce, like a shrew, especially when she saw her quarreling and fighting with her sister-in-law over the years. Every time, Mrs. Lu felt that it was a good thing that her sister-in-law was just annoying and did not hit people.
Who would have thought that the two could become friends?
Moreover, the two of them were so close that they would hide in the quilt and crow about others every night, which even made Chen jealous when she saw them. Later, the three of them decided to move into the same room, and officially began a life of being exhausted during the day and full of energy at night.
Sometimes when Su Li woke up in the middle of the night, she could still hear the three of them whispering in the room about how they were beaten and scolded by their mother-in-law. Of course, at this time, Chen and Lu could only shut up and listen to Mo alone. When she talked about how mean and bad her own sisters-in-law were, Mo and Lu had common topics again. When she talked about her sisters-in-law from her mother's side, Chen had endless things to say. In short, the three of them were like this, you pour out your grievances, I pour out my own, and they never got tired of talking about the old things over and over again.
But this was not what surprised Su Li the most. What surprised her the most was that they didn't seem sleepy at all. They worked so hard during the day, but they were still so energetic at night. It turned out that she couldn't compare to the aunts in terms of energy, and she couldn't compare to Aunt Lian...
Speaking of which, when Mrs. Mo got off the mule cart, the Huang family saw her immediately and quickly surrounded her, some helping to carry things and some asking about her well-being. "Second sister-in-law is back..."
"My sister-in-law is back..."
"Daya's mother is back..."
"You didn't even tell me and let the second son pick you up." Mrs. Yang smiled and rolled her eyes at her second son. Even a wooden stake would know how to feel sorry for his wife, but her son couldn't even compare to a wooden stake.
"Why bother? I can just take Brother Zeng's mule cart back." Let her husband come pick her up? Mrs. Mo didn't want to. If he came to pick her up, how would she hide the silver?
Mrs. Yang said, "Then we should thank them sincerely."
Regardless of whether this was the truth or not, Mrs. Mo felt relieved to hear it and nodded in agreement. Then she talked about what things she had brought back, how many days she could stay at home, etc.
As Mrs. Yang listened to what Madam Mo was saying, she couldn't help but glance at the pork in the basket. "Wow, it must be at least five pounds!" she thought. "So much meat, and the bowl of pork elbow in the basket, it makes one drool just looking at it. It really is good to work in a food store. Not only does it pay so much every month, but you can also get so much food..."
Zhou and Liu, who were standing by, also looked at the food that Mo brought back as if they had lost their souls.
Oh my God, the Su family is so generous. They gave so many things away without any hesitation. It really makes people jealous.
"Second sister-in-law, I'll carry it for you, be careful not to get tired."
"Yes, second sister-in-law, let's do it."
What a joke! Mrs. Mo only had a bag left in her hand. In addition to her spare clothes, it also contained one or two taels of silver that she had specially asked Mrs. Chen to exchange. How could she possibly give it to them?
She quickly stopped the two of them and said, "No, it's not heavy, I can carry it myself!"
Zhou and Liu were about to say something when they heard Mo pull out a purse and say, "Mother, here's this month's wages."
Wages. Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yang and several others' attention were drawn to the purse.
Mrs. Yang took the purse, her mouth almost widening, but she still had to say, "There's no rush."
Mrs. Mo didn't say anything. She said that it had to be paid anyway, whether it was urgent or not. What difference did it make if it was early or late?
Mrs. Mo felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't feel it when she earned less money before, but now she is earning more and more, and still has to hand it all over to the government every month. She is not very happy about it. They work hard with her to earn money, and then use her money to support them, right?
However, thinking that her daughters would have a better life if she gave them money, Mrs. Mo thought that it would be fine as long as it was given to her daughters. What's more, she now had her own small treasury. She could buy her daughters whatever they wanted in the future and save up a dowry for them so that they could marry with honor.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Mo asked her daughters a few more questions about what they did at home. She felt relieved when she heard her eldest daughter say that she didn't do any heavy work at home.
That's good.
It is said that when Mrs. Yang and the others from the Huang family saw the silver, they were so concerned about Mo that they wanted to treat her like a vassal. They even refused to let her wash the dishes after dinner. Mo's attitude was, "If you don't let me do it, I won't do it. I'm not stupid enough not to enjoy the blessing."
After taking her daughters back to the room, she asked them again about the situation at home. She was afraid that her daughters would not dare to tell the truth because of Mrs. Yang and the others. As a result, they gave the same answer again. She lifted up their clothes one by one to check, and was relieved when she found that there were indeed no marks of the rattan.
At this moment, Huang Daya suddenly looked at Mo and asked,
"Mom, you've lost a lot of weight. Is that work very tiring? Don't you give me food?"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Mo couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. After coming back for so long, everyone, including her husband, only cared about how much money she earned. Only her daughter cared about whether she was tired or hungry.
"Mom is not tired."
"I'm really not tired."
Of course, she was lying to her daughters. How could she not be tired? At the beginning, she was so tired after a day of work that she woke up in the middle of the night with back pain and blisters on her feet. But if she didn't work, she would have no money and no way to save dowries for her daughters. Without money to let them live a good life, she could only endure it. Fortunately, the tiredness was only physical. She would feel better when she woke up the next day. In addition, the daily meals were oily and watery, so she gradually adapted to it.
To be honest, she was not the one who was the most tired. The person that Mrs. Mo admired the most these days was the fifth girl of the Su family. Although she was young, she could endure more hardships than an adult like her. She saw with her own eyes that her hands were covered with blisters from cutting vegetables and cooking, but she did not say a word and instead comforted her sister and mother. To exaggerate, when the shop first opened, she almost did the work of five people by herself. She had to cook and fry, and in her spare time, she had to greet customers, wash dishes and vegetables, and collect money. Mrs. Mo had no idea how the fifth girl survived. It was heartbreaking to see her like that, but she was very sensible. She swallowed all the hardships and tiredness by herself and refused to tell anyone.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Mom has brought you some snacks that you like. They are in the bag. Go get them." Mrs. Mo looked up and motioned for her daughters to get them. Sure enough, the daughters' attention was immediately attracted by other things. They were so happy that they almost cried out. However, they seemed to think of something, and smiled at each other tacitly. They quietly took out the bags of snacks and shared them.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Mrs. Lu returned home and couldn't wait to take out her salary for this month and put it on the table. As expected, she received three pairs of envious and admiring glances.
"How much is one hundred yuan?"
"Mom, are you saying you earned one tael of silver this month, almost two?"
"Yeah, didn't you see it?"
After seeing their mother's affirmative answer, Lu's two sons suddenly felt dizzy and as if the sky was about to fall.
You have to know that the monthly salary of both of them combined is only one or two taels of silver, while his mother's salary alone is more than both of theirs. How could these two grown men feel?
Just at this moment, after enjoying the admiration of the three people, Mrs. Lu put the silver into her arms as if she was guarding against thieves.
"Okay, I'm going to rest now, so you should go down and rest early too."
…
Zeng Dalang and Zeng Erlang were finally kicked out of the room. They were still a little confused as to whether this was true or not, and were finally kicked out of the room by their father Zeng Laoer. Sure enough, they were the ones who were surprised...
After sending his son away, Zeng Lao Er closed the door and said, "Are you tired? Let me give you a massage."
Mrs. Lu nodded. Although she didn't do anything today, she was indeed a little tired after traveling such a long distance.
"Am I awesome?" Mrs. Lu looked proudly at the person in front of her while enjoying her husband's leg massage.
"Amazing, so amazing. There is no girl in our village more amazing than you." Zeng Laoer said as he massaged gently.
Mrs. Lu was indeed happy again. She was naturally happy to earn so much money, but for her, what made her happier than earning money was the recognition from her family.
Zeng Laoer naturally knew what his wife was thinking. He was the same. He still remembered that when he earned money from buying a mule, the first thing he did was to run to his parents' house. Why? Of course, he wanted to show off his ability to make money. So he understood his wife's psychology very well, and Zeng Laoer also made some thoughtful suggestions.
"Do you want me to go home with you tomorrow?"
As expected, Mrs. Lu’s waist and legs immediately stopped hurting and she said, “Go back!!”
Zeng Laoer laughed, thinking that his wife was so adorable. He laughed louder and louder without realizing it, until it was like thunder.
Mrs. Lu also laughed, but then realized that the other party was laughing at her, "Are you laughing at me?"
"You dare to laugh at me? You're such a jerk."
The fist hit Zeng Laoer, and Zeng Laoer stopped, "No...how dare I laugh at you."
Mrs. Lu didn't believe it and hit him several more times.
The next day, Zeng Laoer accompanied Lu back to her parents' home. Lu came back with a smile. This was the first time she came back from her parents' home with a smile.
