Chapter 26

Mr. Lai is usually fierce, but very shrewd. She is also afraid that saying too many bad things will affect her daughter. She feels that the boss lady in front of her is too shrewd and she feels that she is no match.

This man was a businessman, and he could live or die, leaving her powerless to resist.

"My dear, how do you know this? Fields are the foundation of our farmers, how can we not cultivate the land? Our family has to buy so many things just because we have to harvest rice these two days to give our family some nutrition to work hard."

"That's what it should be. Then why can't you part with so many things from your parents-in-law, and 200 Wen is so cheap?" The language spoken by the landlady is very snobbish, which makes people want to get angry but can't because she talks with a smile.

Smile and good service attitude.

Lai's face was so popular after being told by her future in-laws that she came here to buy things, didn't she just want to take advantage of the discounts here?

She wanted to buy cheap things from her future in-laws, but she didn't expect them to be too smart, and she didn't dare to offend them.

Lai took out a bunch of copper coins from her arms with some reluctance, her heart ached.

Zhong Xianggui was entertaining other guests and did not confront Mr. Lai directly. He knew that as a future son-in-law, it was not easy for him to quarrel with his future mother-in-law, so he shrewdly pushed the matter to his mother.

Mrs. Lai saw that her in-laws were merciless and took the money.

He took the things that had been wrapped and walked out angrily without looking back, without even saying goodbye.

Zhong Xianggui and his mother didn't care and continued to entertain other guests.

Lai bought the big fat version out of sheer pain. This was the meat that was taken back to be squeezed for oil.

Then they came to the place where they were waiting to ride the bullock cart. When the women in the village saw that she had bought so many things, they all asked envy and asked questions.

Under the envious eyes of others, Lai's previous bad mood disappeared and she boasted proudly.

"I bought the rice and some other things from my in-laws. My future son-in-law gave me the cheapest price. It's not expensive for me to buy these things."

When Lai said this, the people sitting in the bullock cart were all curious, how much did the things she bought cost?

When they learned that what she bought cost 200 yuan, these people couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, but they didn't say anything about Lai.

This was something I bought from my in-laws' store, and the wholesale price was the same for other people. It seemed that only Mr. Lai foolishly thought he was getting a bargain.

Lai returned home with so many things, and her two daughters ran out when they saw her buying so many things.

"Mom, did you buy something for us?" Ye Shuzhi rummaged through the things her mother bought.

"Mom, have you bought any candy?" Ye Shuzhen thought of the candy she ate yesterday. After finishing it, she wanted to eat it again.

"I bought so many things and spent more than 200 yuan. How can I have money to buy candies? Didn't you eat candies yesterday?" Lai rolled her eyes at her little daughter angrily.

"Mom, you just accepted the two taels of silver from your sister-in-law to go to work yesterday. Why are you so stingy and only buy this little meat? You know that I don't eat fat meat, but you don't buy me thin meat." Ye Shuzhen was chopping off her feet angrily.

.

"Why spend so much money on that one? Lean meat doesn't taste good. This fat version is so fragrant and delicious after pressing the oil." Mr. Lai rolled his eyes at her little daughter again. This was because she was not a family member and didn't know how expensive firewood and rice are.

.

"Mom, hum..." After Ye Shuzhen took the silk thread, she stomped back to her room.

Ye Shuzhi also took her things and left without asking a word, how is the foreign husband doing in town?

"You two put away the things and came out to help me cook."

Lai ordered her two daughters who went back to the room.

"Mom, Da Ya and Er Ya are coming back, let them cook!"

Ye Shuzhen's voice came from the room.

Ye Shuzhi said nothing.

Acer and his father, who had been silent until now, heard them talk about letting the children who had gone out to do farm work and come back to cook.

Hongji stopped doing carpentry and stared at his mother and sister's room, feeling even more irritated.

Lai received her son's look and remembered what she had thought about that morning.

"Acer, after you and your father are busy at farming, you will go back to the mountains to cut more wood, build an extra room in the yard, and make your sister's dowry. You will also have to work overtime at night. Don't worry about those money-losing things.

.”

"Mom, you want me to work faster, and you don't help with the housework. How old is my baby? You are so cruel. There are so many adults at home, and you are still waiting for the baby who has gone to work outside to come back and cook."

Acer glared at his mother angrily.

Father Acer looked up at his son and wife, stopped what he was doing, washed his hands, picked up a bamboo tube, put some tobacco on it, lit the tobacco, took a puff of cigarette in the bamboo tube, then exhaled a puff of smoke, and said

Lai said:

"Tell me! Why build a room?"

"Old man, someone's daughter-in-law in the village is pregnant. We can't always have girls in our family. We need someone to help the family." Lai's voice was not quiet, and her voice was heard in the room.

Ye Shuzhi and Ye Shuzhen listened secretly, pouting but not speaking.

Ye Shiqi, who is in the inner room, can now sit. Because she drank the water in the space, her body is particularly flexible. She can already crawl before others can sit.

But she didn't want to crawl underground in such a dirty way anymore and let her fourth sister carry her to the door and eavesdrop on what was said outside the yard.

After hearing what grandma said, I knew that this cruel grandma wanted to secretly give his father a concubine while her mother was in the county town, using the money her mother worked outside.

Her mother could tolerate this kind of thing, but she, as a daughter, couldn't tolerate it either. She thought she had a baby mother, and in the future, when her mother was away, there would be one more person to be mean to the five sisters.

She has to find a way to stop this, and let her mother know about it. But with such a weak character, will her mother resist?

Ye Shiqi is worried, worried for her mother, why worry about her hard life in the future.

I want to listen to what his father would say?

"Mom, don't mention this. It costs money to repair the house. Your son and my daughter-in-law are still young. It's better for my daughter-in-law to stop working as a helper and be able to take care of the baby at home. Your son and I don't have to work so hard."

After hearing what his mother said, Acer was actually a little moved. It was his mother who said he would spend money, but he was afraid that others would say he was a cheater.

While his wife was working outside, he took advantage of her to take a concubine. An honest man like him couldn't do this kind of thing. He hadn't been able to touch a woman for several months because he wanted to have a woman by his side.

"Son, it's so cheap to have a concubine. Your wife works outside and earns so much wages. It's better to have a concubine to bear children for you." Lai wanted to convince her son.

"Mom, you haven't even considered the money for building an extra house and taking a concubine. That's my wife's hard-earned money to work outside. You might as well let dad take a concubine and give me a younger brother."

Acer's words made his father blush and feel a little moved.
