Crossing the Book: The Vicious Female Supporting Woman Was Whitewashed by Fighting with the System

The honey locusts brought by the old man were basically dry in less than a quarter of an hour.

Zhao Ling took the scale borrowed from Qi Shu, peeled it with a burlap bag at home, and began to pack it up and weigh it for him.

Qi Shu went into the room and took the account book prepared by Zhao Ling, and helped with the accounting.

Those honey locusts were not light. Mrs. Zhao felt sorry for her daughter, so she turned around and ordered her two stepsons: "Just looking at them like this? Go over and help your sister with the work."

The two grown men didn't complain at all. After drinking water, they quickly got up and went to help weigh the scales.

Zhao Ling was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he didn't refuse, so he checked the quantity by himself and asked his two brothers to help carry the things.

When the weight was weighed, it was almost the same as she estimated, eighty-one pounds.

Zhao Ling asked the old man to look at it and said: "We will deliver it and settle the bill immediately. Don't be too busy leaving. Just take the money."

After saying this, she looked back at Qi Shu, who counted eighty-one copper coins from the purse with understanding.

It's really a penny a pound, not bad at all.

The old man was old and had never earned so much money for a long time. He was holding a handful of copper coins and burst into tears with excitement.

Seeing this, Zhao Ling told him: "Please keep your money. There is no need to go up the mountain again today. Go home and rest."

Qi Shu was also nearby and said in a gentle voice: "There are many people coming and going in the village, so don't let others see you."

The old man nodded repeatedly, carefully packed the coins, and after thanking Zhao Ling and Qi Shu repeatedly, he put the basket on his back and walked out of the house.

Zhao Ling looked back at Mrs. Zhao and said with a smile: "Mom, you and dad are almost done drying, come and weigh them!"

However, Mrs. Zhao waved her hands and said, "What are you weighing? Your father and I are here to give you something. Don't weigh it. You can just put it away."

When Zhao Ling heard this, he glanced at his two brothers, then smiled and shook his head.

"Everything I give to others is calculated, so why do I have to take advantage when it's my own family's turn? There is no such reason in the world. Besides, my two brothers are probably going to help me here today. It's both emotional and reasonable.

It’s time for them to gain something.”

Mrs. Zhao frowned when she heard this. Just as she was about to say something, Zhao Ling winked at her.

Although she didn't understand what Zhao Ling's look meant, she still wisely kept her mouth shut.

Zhao Ling then said: "Let's get over the big brother's basket first."

Zhao Xiaohe happened to be free and hurriedly came forward to help load the honey locusts. After loading, he helped to put them on the scale.

Mrs. Zhao felt unhappy when she saw it, and sneered from the side: "When I heard that I wanted to make money for your family, I became more active. Why didn't you know how to help load things just now?"

Zhao Xiaohe: "..."

Wasn't she busy cleaning up the study just now?

My uncle's study was in disrepair and had not been taken care of for a long time. Except for some well-preserved books, everything else was damp and moldy.

The sun is nice today, and she was busy moving things out just now, intending to dry them in the sun to remove the musty smell.

But now Zhao Xiaohe has learned to be smart. Mrs. Zhao is always mean when she speaks, and if she cares about it, she will make herself angry. She simply goes in and out of one ear and pretends that she can't hear.

The basket carried by Boss Zhao weighs one hundred and three kilograms.

After Zhao Ling asked Qi Shu to keep the accounts, he also found one hundred and three coins.

Boss Zhao did not dare to take it. After looking at Mrs. Zhao, he refused again and again.

Mrs. Zhao rolled her eyes at him, but because of Zhao Ling, she turned her head and said nothing.

Boss Zhao was a simple and honest man, and when he saw this, he tried his best to refuse. He thought that taking it back would be a personal gift, so he might as well give it to Zhao Ling as a favor.

Seeing that he was determined not to give up, Zhao Xiaohe said to the side: "Sister-in-law, then I won't give you the money. Let's record it in the account first."

After they separate and live alone, it won't be too late for my sister-in-law to give more.

Of course, for Zhao Xiaohe, even if Zhao Ling didn't give her the money, she wouldn't take it.

However, Zhao Ling thought it was a good idea and asked Qi Shu to write it down in the account book and make some notes.

When it was Zhao Laoer's turn, he still recorded it in the account book, but did not pay. When it came to Zhao Laozi and Zhao Laozi, Zhao Ling gave them the money.

The two of them pushed back and forth, which made Mrs. Zhao angry, but Zhao Ling said: "Mom, have you forgotten that I was injured and Qi Shu was sick, and it was you who gave us the money to hire a doctor? I have never paid you back that money.

It's okay if you don't want it. But now, you have to keep this money no matter what."

Mrs. Zhao was very unhappy: "I am just a daughter like you, and the honey locusts are not worth much, so I will give them to you. Why are you so stubborn?"

"Those are two different things." Zhao Ling glanced at Old Man Zhao, and then warned Mrs. Zhao, "Xiaohe is your eldest granddaughter. She is now fifteen years old, and her marriage is about to be discussed. If you, the elders, are not prepared,

Doesn't the dowry encourage people to gossip behind their backs?"

When Zhao Ling mentioned this matter, Mrs. Zhao hesitated.

She thought of Zhao Xiaohe's recent misfortune, and felt that she was no longer so disgusted with this eldest granddaughter.

And no matter how much she hates it, she can't do such a thing as a little girl getting married without a dowry.

Zhao Ling persuaded Mrs. Zhao with a few words, and Mrs. Zhao finally sighed and collected the money.

Zhao Ling lowered her voice again and bit her ear to Mrs. Zhao: "Mom, don't control me so closely. Most men are uncomfortable without money. Leave him some pocket money every month."

As soon as Zhao Ling said this, Mrs. Zhao raised her eyebrows and looked about to explode.

Zhao Ling hurriedly held her down and said, "I won't give you much, just ten cents a month at most. Anyway, my father doesn't go anywhere, he just wanders around the village. He doesn't spend his money on other places.

Maybe I can give you a surprise at the critical moment?"

Mrs. Zhao fell silent, looked at the honest old man Zhao, and pursed her lips.

Zhao Ling said no more. Another person came into the yard. She was busy drying the honey locusts for others and weighing them, leaving Mrs. Zhao and Old Man Zhao behind.

It was already noon, and Qi Shu was going to cook, so Zhao Ling took the account book and took care of both sides.

When Liu Wenhui heard the excitement outside, she opened the door and stuck her head out to take a look. After seeing Mrs. Zhao, she hurriedly retreated back into the house.

Ling Yehan didn't like being looked at either, so he took the book and hid in the house.

Mrs. Zhao and her husband were about to go back, but the men Qi Shu called to repair the house arrived again. Mrs. Zhao was not at ease and asked Old Man Zhao to help too.

Zhao Ling simply left them to eat, and asked Zhao Xiaohe to go back and call his two sisters-in-law and children over.

Mrs. Zhao was very unhappy and said with a slumped face: "With such a big family coming to your place to eat and drink, shouldn't they make you poor?"

Zhao Ling took the time and replied to her with a smile: "If you come here to eat every day, then I will definitely not be able to bear it. But if I can't take care of just one meal, why do I need to do this kind of business?"

Mrs. Zhao thinks about it, her daughter is not like she used to be, and she can run such a big business now.

What does it mean to treat a whole family to a meal?
