The boss is dressed as cannon fodder

"Uncle, can you please give in?" Shun Niang said timidly.

Jiang Hai quickly stepped aside and narrowed his eyes slightly to look at this woman who lived an extremely humble life in the Jiang family.

Something was different. There was a subtle light in the eyes of this woman who had always been as low as dust, as if the tree that had been struck by lightning showed a touch of green after the spring rain, becoming more alive and more beautiful...

It should be said that Shun Niang has been good-looking since he was a child. When he was young and ignorant, he also thought about red sleeves adding fragrance. But the premise is that he can read and have the fragrant red sleeves, so he married the ordinary-looking Xiao Chen to further increase his status in his mother's heart.

Little Chen is his cousin, and the niece of old Chen's favorite family. Although her mother has been partial to him since she was a child, studying is too expensive, and it can cost a family of peasant origin, so to be on the safe side, he killed Hongxiu. Tian Xiang's sweet dream is to marry a cousin whose appearance is several blocks worse than Shun Niang's.

Facts have proved that he was right. After marrying Xiao Chen, my mother's original preference was biased towards the creaking nest. At the beginning, the eldest brother was still a little unsatisfied. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, he quickly instigated the relationship between them as husband and wife. Today, some man in the village praised Shun Niang for her beauty. Tomorrow, some strong man lamented that marrying a Shun Niang should be done as a wife. The day after tomorrow, it was a hint to his brother that he married a Shun Niang and others made fun of him. He put a flower on the cow dung...

The eldest brother is stupid. He is completely annoyed by the fact that his wife might cuckold him. After he started domestic violence against his submissive mother, he no longer paid attention to whether his mother was partial or not.

A difficult life, dull clothes, either gray or blue, and physical and psychological violence made Shun Niang's beauty quickly wither...

Even the ordinary-looking Xiao Chen looked younger and more energetic than her! Jiang Hai once again felt that his choice was the right one. A woman's youth only lasts a few years, and her fragrant red sleeves will soon turn into gray sleeves. Therefore, the correct way to open up her red sleeves and add fragrance is to change her beauty in a few years!

There is beauty in the book! As long as you study well, Hongxiu will have everything, and you will have money!

Jiang Hai arranged the most advantageous path for his life. Although he occasionally saw Shun Niang not letting the Jiang family do what she did when she was even the slightest bit angry, he felt a flash of guilt in his heart. So he would sometimes comfort Shun Niang, hoping that she would feel better. Over time, he felt at ease. For the sake of family harmony, it would not matter if Shun Niang was only beaten and scolded. If the Jiang family hadn't adopted her, she would have died long ago. .

"Sister-in-law, how are you lately?" Jiang Hai squeezed out a concerned smile, "Brother has always had a bad temper, please be more considerate..."

Shun Niang looked at him strangely. Her husband had been very kind to her recently. He never beat, scolded, or complained. Whenever she did something good, she would praise him endlessly. She had never been so good in her life.

"I'm fine, and so is my husband."

Impossible, the eldest sister-in-law must have helped the eldest brother hide it again. The eldest brother treated them all like firecrackers, and he must have treated the eldest sister-in-law even more excessively.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to hide it for him. You must have a lot of scars on your body." Jiang Hai didn't give up. Now that his eldest brother is difficult enough to deal with, the couple can still get along with him. "I still have some money here. You can take it to a doctor."

"Brother-in-law, do you have money to give me to see a doctor? But don't you have money to give to my husband?" Shun Niang looked at him with a strange look on her face, "My husband must have been injured more seriously." Her husband kept telling her that her brother-in-law was a hypocrite, and she kept telling her that her uncle was a hypocrite. If you don’t believe it, it turns out that your husband is right.

Jiang Hai was blocked and speechless. This was wrong no matter what he said. Could he say that he and his mother felt that his eldest brother was useless and they could save money as much as possible.

Shun Niang quietly gave him a look of contempt, picked up the medicine and walked towards the door.

Jiang Hai was stunned. After ten years of marriage, Shun Niang changed from a girl like flowers to a woman with eyes like fish. All the beauty disappeared in time. He didn't expect that dead trees could turn green. Now she seemed to be alive again. A touch of young womanly style.

Jiang He: Nonsense, in order to build up Shun Niang’s self-confidence, is his daily chicken soup for the soul free of charge?

***

Jiang He was really making trouble. He had enough money to hire a day laborer but not enough money to treat his leg! Is this a human job?

Old Chen started to cry, fuss and hang himself again, "Unfilial son, big o, you unfilial son! You are poking at my mother's heart by saying this. If your mother has money, she won't treat you...Old man , just wait for me, I’ll go with you right now!”

Jiang He immediately brought a pair of scissors and a rope, "Mom, son, I will definitely accompany you! You didn't hang yourself last time, but this method doesn't suit you. How about scissors? Why don't you go to the kitchen and get a knife? Oh, of course. Hedinghong is fine, but it’s too expensive. You’re not even willing to pay thirty cents for your son’s medical treatment, and you’re definitely not willing to buy poison... If you want to jump into the river, that’s fine. Please move your son to the river first. My son is going to explore the road first... Don't worry, I am still your mother's filial son, and I will accompany you whether you are going to hell or to the frying pan!"

Old Chen was about to be pissed off by him. Of course she didn't want to die, but looking at her eldest son whose eyes were full of expectation, she wondered, could it be that his eldest son actually didn't want to live anymore? Still want her, a mother-in-law, to die with him? !

Unfilial son! Unfilial son!

Mrs. Chen was angry and scared at the same time. She was afraid that her son was going crazy. He had been driven crazy since the day he became lame.

***

There was a lot of trouble in Jianghe, so Lao Chen naturally didn't dare to spend a few taels of money to hire part-time workers.

Although the people in the village are busy, the busier they are, the more they want to hear gossip. After understanding the ins and outs, they all shook their heads. It was really outrageous. Before, Old Chen had to fight for a long time to give Jiang He the one tael of silver to buy medicine. Now it was better. Old Chen simply spent three or four taels of silver to hire a day laborer.

The day laborers were wiped out, and Mrs. Chen had no choice but to order her younger son and his family to go to the fields.

The younger son is weak? If the seedlings are not planted quickly, he will be weaker if he can only eat porridge in the second half of the year. Besides, how tired can he be if he only works for half a day?

The eldest child is three months younger than the eldest girl, and the second child is half a year younger than the second girl. They have never worked before. Now they are crying and shouting that they work because they lose money. They have chickens and can carry on the family line. How can they work in the fields?

Not far away, a boy of six or seven years old rolled up his trousers and went to the fields with his family. He handed the seedlings in his hand to his father and brother from time to time. Although he didn't have to bend down to plant the seedlings, his little face was covered with sweat and he was obviously very tired.

"Dad, if there is a chicken, someone will take care of it? No need to work?" He pulled his trousers, with a look of doubt and excitement. With this, he can let his sisters at home take care of him?

His father looked at him expressionlessly, "If you don't have to work if you have an extra piece of meat, there will be no eunuchs in this world!" It is because his son needs to work more to carry on the family line, otherwise how can he marry a wife to support the family in the future? I'm afraid that he can only carry on the family line but not the offspring... You will starve to death for generations.

The boy suddenly realized and shouted in a high voice, "Jiang Dawa, if you want to stop working, cut off that piece of meat. Eunuchs don't have to work!" They heard from storytellers that eunuchs are called Jiuqiansui, which is one thousand years younger than the emperor. They are very majestic and it is said that they can eat meat every day.

Dawa and Erwa were so scared that they pulled their pants. They didn't want it! If they cut off this piece of meat, they would not treasure it. Grandma would definitely make them work from morning to night like the two money-losing people at home. It's terrible!

Old Chen was so angry that she cursed at the boy who had just spoken, "What's your intention! Our Jiang family wants to have scholars. The eldest and second sons will be promising scholars in the future!"

The villagers frowned. In the past, Jiang Da'ao worked diligently like an old ox to stand in front of the family. They didn't realize that the second wife was so unreasonable.

Now it seems that a future scholar who watched them go to the fields and recited "hoeing the field in the sun, sweat dripping on the ground" fainted after being bitten by a leech. Such a scholar would be ignorant of the five grains if he really became an official.

The youngest son is five years old, but he still stays at home every day and uses the excuse of taking care of the children to not work. Old Chen is blind, right? She deliberately found a lazy daughter-in-law? And she is so satisfied?

And Old Chen, since Jiang Da'ao took on the responsibility of the Jiang family, she has not worked for many years. Now she knows the hard work of going to the fields. Shouldn't she understand the hard work of the eldest son and consider spending some money to treat his leg? As a result, she called him an unfilial son.

"Just because he can't help with the work due to a broken leg does that make him an unfilial son?" The villagers shook their heads, thinking that both the second branch of the Jiang family and Old Mrs. Chen were sick.
