Zhao Maiqi carried the things, a smile on his face. He and his parents-in-law must be very happy to be back home. He came over and took a bunch of radishes and two turnips. He had earned enough to cover his son's six-month pension.
This old lady is really rich, she will definitely live a long life. With her help, she won’t have to worry about not having a good life!
"Little sister, are you back?"
Li and Zhao Maiqi met each other. Li took a look at what she was holding in her hand and looked unhappy.
"Sister-in-law, are you here to look after Mom? Why are you here empty-handed? Mom is feeling weak right now and needs to eat something to replenish her body."
"I'm going to the fields." Are you blind and don't you see the hoe she's carrying?
"Mother is lying in bed and can't move because of your son, and you don't even bother to take care of her?"
"I said I have servants to serve me. How could it be that I didn't pay for the maid? We will naturally go to see Grandma after we finish our work.
What are you doing? Going home? I'm not saying anything bad about you, Mai Qi, but you're already old. Your mother-in-law raised you so much and didn't ask for your filial piety. You don't know how to keep making her feel unhappy, do you?
We knew that she needed to eat because she was sick. All the things in the kitchen were bought for her by the three of us families together to nourish her body. Do you think it's appropriate for you to take so much as soon as you came back?
It's fine if you didn't send anything to your sick mother, but you're actually coming back to ask for money at this time. Isn't that too much?"
Zhao Maiqi's face flushed with shame, "I didn't, I wasn't..."
"You are not what? Don't say you didn't take anything from your mother-in-law? Don't say these are what you were going to give to your mother-in-law?"
When people on the road heard the noise, they couldn't help but look at Zhao Maiqi twice. It would be fine if he just took things on weekdays, but why did he take things at this time? It was really outrageous.
Poor old Mrs. Sun, what will she do without Zhao Laosan?
Zhao Maiqi was so embarrassed that his face turned red, and he couldn't find any words to refute. His sister-in-law was so cruel!
Carrying her things, she trotted out of the village. Li snorted coldly. With such a character, she still wanted to mock her? Did she think she was worthy of it?
My mother-in-law is so partial. She gave her so many things, and she got a share of the money for all of them. Maybe there's money in addition to the things, what a stupid old woman!
The hoe on her shoulder felt heavier, and she continued to work in the fields with heavy steps. She always had a feeling that she would never be able to finish the work.
There is no hope in life, nothing at all.
On the way home, the father and daughter discussed the betrothal gift to the Qian family.
"Dad, we have to give him more. This is our only grandson, and we can't treat him unfairly."
"Hey, when you got engaged, your family didn't have that much money. We hurried the marriage to avoid the Xiao family. Now I think we treated Xiao Lei unfairly.
We have some savings now, so we can give them more. What do you think? You are the head of our family now, and Mom and Dad listen to you."
"Prepare thirty-six pieces of betrothal gifts. How about five thousand taels of silver? Give them one-third of the house and shop, and we'll buy more later."
The money we gave wasn't much, but I didn't want to see it too seriously. You know, because we are rich, the county has donated money and materials in recent years, and the county magistrate always grabs us and takes advantage of us.
We'll give you so much on the surface, and then we'll add more privately."
"Tuo, I'll listen to you."
These are enough for the two of them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. The eldest daughter has already considered everything for them.
"Laifu likes to do business. When we get to the capital, we will find a suitable shop and sell it to them."
"Okay, besides doing business, your grandfather Qian also wants him to continue studying. He doesn't want fame, but just wants him to learn more."
"Grandpa Qian is open-minded and insightful."
"Yes, the old man was a very kind person, but he had a very hard life." He has lost his son, daughter-in-law, and spouse. It is really sad to think about it.
