"Master, are you tired? Lie down and take a rest." Seeing him like this, Mrs. Gong felt very distressed.
"Let's talk about it later. It's time to eat." After working for so long, he was already hungry and had a stomachache.
Mrs. Xu sat aside and had no mood to talk. These days, she felt tired, both physically and mentally!
"Don't go to my third brother's house at night. My eldest brother's family has no hope. The farm work depends on us. I'm afraid you can't bear it."
"Um."
………………
Liu Shunzi was the first one to deliver the goods. After Zhao Dashu explained everything to him, he lamented that such a good livelihood ended like this. But there is no way, it is so difficult to do anything in the village.
"Next year, we will find a new way to collect them."
Zhao Dashu nodded. It was so profitable, he couldn't possibly stop doing it just because someone was watching him.
He put his arm around Liu Shunzi's shoulder and said, "Tell me, brother, how much did you make from this wave of river gourds?"
They deliver goods, pay, deliver goods, pay. He really doesn't know how much each family earns.
Liu Shunzi stretched out a finger.
Oh shit!
He made a lot of money by picking river gourds, and the village chief and his father-in-law made about as much as he could.
In this way, life became better for all of them.
Zhao Dashu was in a very good mood, very, very good, and he brought everyone up.
No, it's his daughter!
There was also a strange gleam in Liu Shunzi's eyes. "One silver coin is twenty-seven taels. I just counted it with my wife two days ago." Every time they were too tired to do anything, they would go home and take out the silver and count it. After counting, they would not feel tired at all and would feel refreshed.
He punched Zhao Dashu and said, "Thanks to you, brother! When this is done and you are free, let's have a few drinks together."
"I'm not free lately, while I'm hibernating."
Liu Shunzi understood and didn't ask any more questions. He was very satisfied to be able to earn so much.
I never thought in my life that I would have more than 10,000 yuan in savings. How much silver is this? A whole bag of it is enough to make a big hole in his head.
Dashu treated him as his own and took him with him. He will be grateful for this for the rest of his life!
"Now that you have money, what are you going to do?"
"I came here to pick up fish but there is none. Now that I can't pick any, I thought I would first do the autumn harvest for a few days. After the harvest, I will repair the house and buy some cotton wool to make quilts and jackets. Every winter, I freeze to death and just bear it. I just want to have a warm year next year."
Zhao Dashu's eyes felt hot when he thought about the past years. Life in the past few years was really not a living thing.
"Well, wait until next year and then I'll build a brick and tile house with warm walls."
Liu Shunzi couldn't close his mouth just thinking about living in a warm house without having to heat the kang.
"I've discussed it with my family. There's a lot of vacant land near you, so if we really want to build a house, we'll build it here. Living next to your father every day is unlucky because we always quarrel and make trouble."
Zhao Dashu didn't mind what he said at all. "We have a good relationship. It's convenient for us to have a drink together."
"Of course! I think so too. By the way, your father's family has been really restless these past two days. There have been noises and fights all day long. My child said he was woken up by the fright several times in the middle of the night. What do you think they are doing instead of sleeping?"
"What's wrong?"
"I heard from my family's Fugui that Lam Ka Tung's medicine costs a lot of money, and neither side can afford it. Your father wants to sell the land, but the second son refuses.
Also, I don’t know what’s wrong with Zhao Ruxin, she’s also lying in bed unable to move, Zhao Dayong’s wife refuses to take care of her, so your mother has to come. Your father didn't dare to lose his temper with her, so as soon as everyone got off the ground, he started cursing. His curses were so ugly and his voices were so loud. ”
Zhao Dashu was speechless. What was the big deal? The old man was willing to give everything for his elder brother. Why? He thought his elder brother was just average looking and his brain wasn't very good. Why do I care about him? The old man is obviously very smart and good at calculating.
Could it be that he and my second brother are really my cheating parents?
The old man only has one son, and he has to support him even if he is no longer capable.
Zhao Dashu shook his head. What was he thinking about?
"Why can't Ruxin move again?" Can the baby in eldest brother's family get better?
"Oh, I heard your mother asked her to wash dishes and broke her leg. The doctor said she needs to stay in bed for several months."
Liu Shunzi said it lightly. Zhao Dashu's mouth twitched when he heard it. "Brother, what evil thing did you do?" I really should go to the temple and pray properly.
"Brother, your sister-in-law is in the county town, and the two children are in the old house?"
"That should be the case. I'm not at home every day, so who knows who's in your family? Anyway, Fugui said that the most violent quarrels are all about money. Your second brother seems to want to divide the family, but your parents don't agree. He won't let us sell the land, and he wants to sell the land in the city, saying that your eldest brother still owes him dozens of taels."
What a mess this is. Where does my second brother get the money? Zhao Dashu felt somewhat fortunate that he was separated from her.
"Tell me, why doesn't the old man want to split up the family? It's already like this, what's the point of living together?"
"Your parents died early, so you don't understand. After the family is divided, who will farm, who will do the housework, and who will serve them?
It is obvious that the eldest brother's family is not working. If my parents split up, they will live with my eldest brother. Will they take them to the county town? Definitely not.
Now he can still call his second brother a fool. After the family is divided, do you think his second brother will still be the scapegoat? The old man knew very well that if the family property was divided, not only would the eldest brother suffer, but the two old men would also have to suffer because no one would support them. ”
Oh my god, there are so many twists and turns here. Why is the old man's mind like a sieve?
"If your eldest brother had an accident and your father knew about it in advance, would he still separate you from him?"
Zhao Dashu gave him a look and let him figure it out for himself.
It was a good luck for him to be able to get a share. The old man thought that the eldest brother would definitely win, and the second brother and the old man didn't want him to take advantage. Also, he had no sons, so they thought he couldn't cause any trouble.
Zhao Dashu's face was gloomy. He was going to go out in a few days and asked his mother to see a doctor. She hoped that if she took good care of herself, she might still get pregnant.
Zhao Ruxin lay on the bed, feeling worse than death. Because she was a girl, no male member of the family would enter her room, including the old man.
The damn old woman abused her whenever she had nothing to do. She didn't give her a chamber pot, so she wet the bed and then had to cover it up dry herself. Second Aunt pretended not to see anything and didn't care about her at all.
She can't eat less. No matter what, the more she eats, the more she poops. Not only is she not allowed to drink more than a sip of water on a normal day, she is only given half a steamed bread a day. In just a few days, the kang she slept on was full of urine smell and she lost a lot of weight. Don’t even think about washing.
Her whole body felt like bugs were crawling all over it, and she couldn't stop itching. She thought she had lice. Wuuuuu... When will mother come back? She really can't bear it anymore.
