Chapter 19 Reach out for money

The Cheng family has not yet been divided, and Mrs. Zhao's rule for each house is to make money and confiscate it.

For example, the grain harvested every year is confiscated, but she usually takes away most of the small money earned by each family. The remaining money is the private money saved by each family. Mrs. Zhao also feels very concerned about the money in each house.

Countless.

However, Erfang did not tell anyone about selling herbal medicine this time.

If it weren't for being accidentally discovered by Zhu Zhu, Mrs. Zhao wouldn't have thought that the girls at home would still have money in their hands. How could this be possible!

Cheng Dalang was about to move and said, "Since digging herbs is so valuable, wouldn't it be great if we spent the whole day looking for herbs in the mountains and then sell them to Dr. Zeng?"

When he said this, Saburo and Shiro also became excited.

Just as Ye Ning was about to speak, she heard her daughter's innocent and soft voice: "Uncle, do you know about herbal medicine?"

Cheng Miaomiao's grape-like eyes looked at him momentarily.

Cheng Dalang was immediately speechless.

Yes, no one in their family knows herbal medicine, let alone finding it in the mountains and digging it out completely.

It's not like no one in the village goes to the mountains to dig up some herbs from time to time and send them to Dr. Zeng, but the only edible wild vegetables and fruits the Cheng family knows about it. If this incident came out, they would never have thought of it.

In the kitchen, Da Ya and the others did not dare to make a sound.

Cheng Miaomiao walked to the table and put the bowls and chopsticks there.

She raised her head and looked at Mrs. Zhao who was still showing signs of anger. She puffed her cheeks angrily and argued: "My sister, second brother and I found and sold those wild mints. My mother didn't help, and she didn't share them either."

money."

"How much does it cost for a kid's house?"

"You eat at home every day for free, don't you? I haven't even asked you for money yet. How dare you not hand it over? I'm going to die!"

Mrs. Zhao suddenly glared angrily, grabbed her arm and pulled her over, raising her hand as if to hit her.

Cheng Erlang was startled and quickly pulled Cheng Miaomiao to his side.

She was still shocked and said: "Mother! Miaomiao and the others have only made money this time, so don't argue with them. The total is only three cents per person, so you can just let them keep it in their hands to buy some candy."

Qian and Meng looked at each other.

If the money is left in Daya's and the others' hands, they can still hand it over, but if it is given to Mom, they won't even be able to touch it.

Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she said, "Even Zhuzhu knows how to pick up eggs and take them home. You guys have grown up so old and don't understand anything."

Cheng Sanlang said: "Mom, what the second brother said makes sense. We don't have much money anyway."

Cheng Dalang also advised: "Yes, mother, don't be angry. The next time Dr. Zeng wants any herbs, Sanya will come back and tell me. Uncle will go up the mountain to pick them with you, and you can earn more money at once."

Ye Ning lowered her eyelids and said nothing, her lips trembled and her fingers clenched tightly.

Every time, every time it's like this.

Whenever she and Erlang do something, they will eagerly jump out to get a share of the pie. Now even Miaomiao and the others want to take advantage of it.

Several people discussed it for a long time, and then Old Man Cheng stood up and made the final decision: "That's it, let's eat."

"By the way, Erlang, are the bamboo baskets almost done? Let's go to the town in two days to sell them, and buy some rice and meat on the way. We'll eat better when the harvest is coming."

"I know, Dad."

Cheng Erlang felt a little bitter in his mouth.

He touched the soft hair of his daughter in his arms, and felt very uncomfortable... The autumn harvest, the autumn harvest is almost over, wait a minute.

-

After a meal, you won’t be able to taste the food.

The ones left to wash the dishes were Ye Ning and Little Zhou. Little Zhou still felt chilled when she thought about what happened during the meal just now. She couldn't help but whispered: "Second sister-in-law, I have already asked Third sister-in-law, she is willing to do it."

of."

Now all the family money is spent on Wulang.

If the second brother and sister-in-law are forced to give out even the money earned by their children, how can they live like this? Maybe after the separation, the second brother and sister-in-law will live a better life.

Ye Ning paused slightly and said softly: "I understand, sister-in-law."

She used a ladle of water to rinse the dishes and chopsticks again. Seeing that there was no one around, she leaned over and whispered in her ear, wiped her hands and turned to leave.

After returning to the room, she saw Cheng Miaomiao sitting on a stool with a sullen face, her feet crossed, and pointing dissatisfiedly.

Cheng Erlang continued to weave bamboo baskets in his hands.

There are three or four carefully crafted bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets a few sizes smaller in the house. These are all he has driven out day and night in the past few days. There are also some braided tassels of various colors and bath beads inside.

The wild fruits are all waiting to be sold together when we go to town.

"Zhuzhu picked the least chrysanthemums and was always lazy there. My sister and I also picked the eggs, and I also changed the tofu!"

Cheng Miaomiao's almond-shaped eyes drooped slightly, looking so aggrieved.

Why did he do all these things as soon as he got home, and he even snitched on her! Fortunately, she wanted him to join in and make a little money too. Damn bastard, he has no conscience!

Cheng Erlang felt funny: "Who taught you to call Zhuzi, you have to call Zhuzi brother."

Cheng Miaomiao immediately covered his ears and shook his head.

"Don't listen, don't listen, that bastard is chanting sutras."
