Chapter 76 Departure

"Milk", Xia Daohua did not obediently go back to pack her things. Instead, she stood still and asked Zhou generously: "Isn't this silver only one tael in total?"

She opened her big clear eyes and looked at Mr. Zhou seriously, waiting for her answer.

Zhou smiled and said, "It's one tael. Did I just say it was ten taels?"

Xia Daohua nodded, and Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Jiang said in unison, testifying to her excitedly: "You did say just now that this is ten taels of silver..."

Ms. Jiang was a little embarrassed and her eyes were red again. She had just been negligent and didn't pay attention to the amount of money, and she almost wronged Daohua.

Mrs. Sun, however, looked disdainful and snorted twice from under her nose:

"Hmph, hum! Mother, you just said so lively, but in fact you only gave Daohua one tael of silver... Do you expect this little girl to make up for the nine taels? It turns out that we, a big family,

, I hope your old abacus is very good!"

Mrs. Zhou frowned and scolded Mrs. Sun:

"What? It's your second wife's business to work together to take care of Erlang, isn't it? Why are you still planning to fight till the end and not give out even a penny?

I gave Daohua a few cents here to buy some snacks for her to eat along the way.

As for the money to take care of Erlang, I can only give it to you if you come back safely with your two children, Erlang and Daohua, and both children must be well.

Otherwise, I will just give it to Daohua right now. If you snatch it from Daohua on the way, what can Daohua do to you?

She is a junior, and it’s already hard enough for her to make me keep an eye on your expenses and make sure you don’t act stupid!

If you have black eyes and can only recognize white money, and you act like a mother-in-law to her, and you act tyrannically and use force, you are shameless, how can she beat you up?"

Mrs. Sun was questioned by Mrs. Zhou and was speechless. She had to sit on the ground, slapping her thighs and acting playfully:

"With so many people in our second house, how much does it cost just to eat this food every day? How can our son get the extra money to take care of Erlang's injury?

You don't want to give me all the money, but at least half of it first, right? Otherwise, you won't even be able to raise the travel expenses. How can we, the mothers, give Erlang and the doctor the medicine?"

Mrs. Zhou laughed angrily:

"What's going on? Are you, the second child, cheating on me? Second child, are you thinking the same thing as your wife?"

How could Xia Yougui, the second oldest child, dare to admit it so straightforwardly?

However, he had indeed anticipated Sun's move and was happy to see it come to fruition.

After all, the money Mr. Sun digs out from the hands of the old couple must pass through his hands first, and then it is the family's turn to spend it. It will benefit him and not harm him at all.

However, there are some things that can be done but cannot be said. In front of Mr. Zhou, he could not admit it like this no matter what.

Xia Yougui shook his head with a sad face:

"Mom, Mrs. Sun is a fool. She only knows how to mess around and talk nonsense. It doesn't make sense. You must not be as knowledgeable as her.

Even though I was so angry, it still hurts us as children.

It’s not that we and I don’t miss Erlang, it’s just that we don’t have any money on hand!

Otherwise, when Erlang was drafted into forced labor, we would not have refused to pay him one tael of silver as labor service.

Erlang is such a good boy, down-to-earth, hard-working, and capable! I can’t let him go if I let him go! If nothing else, without him, there will be no one to do a lot of work in the family, right?"

Zhou looked at the second child Xia Yougui intently, smiled meaningfully, and nodded:

"That's right, what you said is very good, second brother. Let's do this. When you gather enough money, you can set off to see Erlang. When you leave, don't forget to call Daohua and join us."

She turned to Daohua again:

"Daohua, good boy, you should keep this tael of silver first.

If your second uncle goes out to see your second brother later and forgets to call you, these two taels of silver will be yours.

If your second sister-in-law asks you to go together, write down this tael of silver and how much you spent on the way, report it to me, and pay me back the rest."

After Zhou finished speaking these words, he only left one sentence:

"Everyone, please leave!

In addition, if anyone wants to plant new wheat seeds, come and get them from me.

The price is calculated as two taels of silver per catty. I won’t charge you a single copper penny more.”

After Mrs. Zhou said these words, she went back to the back room, threw her clothes on the bed, covered her face, and sulked silently for a while.

She felt that both herself and Mr. Xia had passable characters.

I don't know why, but the moral character of the children they teach is uneven, with huge differences.

The eldest and second eldest children are obviously growing crookedly!

Since the Lantern Festival, everyone was tired, hungry, and frightened, but the boss took the few members of his family and slipped away without even a polite word to let everyone come to his house to rest.

One sentence...

Zhou was already heartbroken at that time.

Afterwards, despite her parents' instincts, Zhou still had to care for her eldest son and his family.

Especially Xia Dalang, who might make the Xia family change their lintel.

However, the Zhou family is no longer like before. The eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law made some light hints, thought of it, and obediently spent money to subsidize them.

In recent days, the old lady Zhou has become more disappointed with Xia Yougui than with Xia Youcai.

When the civilian husband was recruited, Mrs. Zhou was heartbroken. This time Erlang needed someone to take care of her, and the second wife's shirk and greed made Ms. Zhou sad again.

The reason why she put down those words and went back to the room was because she wanted to see how bad the second roommate could be.

Of course, this disappointment also made her change her mind.

Originally, she planned to pay the money directly to distribute new wheat seeds to each house owner, but this time she decided who wanted to plant the seeds would pay.

Otherwise, she was really afraid that she would end up spoiling her so much that she would end up with a bunch of white-eyed wolves.

If the third, fourth, and fifth bedrooms all become big bedrooms, and the second bedroom looks like this, who can she and Mr. Xia count on in the future?

Zhou's decision on the new wheat species aroused a small amount of discussion.

But since Mrs. Zhou had already told everyone to disperse, Mr. Xia carried his pipe and pot, and kicked out the children of several houses one by one.

Everyone has left, and now that there is no audience, Mrs. Sun can no longer just lie on the ground and act recklessly.

She climbed up and asked Xia Yougui anxiously:

"You are expensive, but our mother refuses to give you any money. What should Erlang do?"

Xia Yougui glared at her fiercely:

"It's not because of you! If you hadn't always liked to be such a fool, often contradicting my mother, making my mother endlessly angry with you, how could it end so hard this time?"

Xia Yougui roughly pulled Sun's arm, and the two of them hurriedly left the old couple's house, choking and pushing each other.

Two hours later, the second room finally decided to set off.
