After closing the courtyard door, more than a dozen members of the Song family giggled at a pile of meat. Boss Song looked at the backbone of the family, Mrs. Wu, and asked: "Mom, what should I do with all this meat? Are they all sold?"

In the past, the family life was difficult, and the Song family was reluctant to eat the meat they were given, so they took it to the town and sold it in exchange for food. Although meat is good, life is more important! Food is the lifeblood of farmers!

Mrs. Wu hugged her granddaughter and sat down on the stool. Her children and grandchildren gathered around her, waiting for instructions.

"The Jiang family has helped us a lot in the past six months. This venison is the most nourishing thing. Cut half of it and send it to the Jiang family. We will keep the rest for ourselves!" He gave the ninety taels of silver notes in his pocket.

Mrs. Wu had enough confidence. She could sell the venison she was given to make money, but no matter how good the money was, it would not be as good as having a good body.

She often listens to Mr. Jiang talking about ingredients, medicinal properties and so on. She knows that venison is very good for people who are weak and weak, and have insufficient blood and blood. The women and children in the family have been in poor health due to lack of food and drink in the past few years. Now there are

This condition must of course be supplemented!

"As for the pheasant and wild boar... let's keep the pheasant for stew and drink it, pick some fat from the wild boar, marinate it and dry it, and save it for the New Year. The rest..."

Mrs. Wu saw her four daughters-in-law looking at her expectantly. She sighed in her heart and said, "For the rest, each of you cut off ten pounds and send them to your parents' families. It will be considered as an early New Year's gift! The rest will be sold."

Come back in exchange for some rice!"

"Mom, don't we have a lot of grain stored in the cellar? Why did we buy grain?" Zhang Chunmei asked in confusion.

Mrs. Wu shook her head and said: "You only see that there is a lot of food, but there are also a lot of people at home. If you are not a householder, you don't know that firewood and rice are expensive. According to our current two meals a day, each meal is more than half full, and we need ten kilograms less food in a day. One person.

Three hundred catties per month! The food we have in our village is not enough even for half a year!"

She took a sip of water and continued: "Besides, I don't know what the harvest will be like next year. If there is no harvest like last year, why don't we save more food and let the family drink from the northwest wind? To live a life, you have to take one step at a time and see ten

step!"

"When you go back to your parents' home, don't talk too much! If anyone tells anyone about the food in our village, don't come back! Since you think your parents' home is more important than ours, why are you coming back? Don't even mention borrowing food! You

You are the daughter-in-law of the old Song family, and it is our duty to raise you. Your mother's family is not named Song, and our family has neither the obligation nor the ability to support your family's large family!" Mrs. Wu said, looking at the third child deeply.

The wife glanced at him with a warning in her eyes.

Although Zhang Chunmei is greedy and lazy, she is timid and timid, so naturally she does not dare to challenge Mrs. Wu's authority. Zhang Chunmei knows that the men in the family obey her mother-in-law. If she said that she should be driven back to her parents' home, her man would definitely pack her up and send her away.

Although the Song family is poor, the family is harmonious. Although the mother-in-law is powerful, she never tries to challenge her daughter-in-law. The whole family works together and there are not so many bad things. Although Zhang Chunmei is stupid, she is not as stupid as her younger sisters.

She also wants to subsidize her parents' family, but the prerequisite is that it cannot affect her life in the Song family. Now that the Song family's life is getting better day by day, she doesn't want to be driven back, she wants to stay and live a good life!

"Mom, don't worry! I definitely won't talk nonsense! If I talk nonsense, my tongue will rot and I won't be able to eat meat!" After Zhang Chunmei vowed to express her position, she said weakly, "Mom, can I take some potatoes back to my parents' house?

There is no way to open the pot at home..."

"With the help of your sisters, you can't open the pot?" Mrs. Wu curled her lips. She looked down upon the girls of the Zhang family the most. Her own children had starved to death, and they still went to subsidize her parents' family. I don't know how she grew up with such brains!

She looked at the third daughter-in-law with difficulty. She didn't know this. If she hadn't been there to control her, she would have been deceived by her mother-in-law and emptied her entire family!

Since it was a New Year's gift, it would be a bit unsightly to give just meat. The potato yield at home was sixty or seventy kilograms higher than that of other families, so Mrs. Wu packed ten kilograms for each family to take home.

The other three families were all accompanied by men to their parents' homes, but Zhang Chunmei refused the men's accompaniment and returned to her parents' home without any children.

After returning to her parents' home, she found out that her fourth sister, who starved her children to death to support her parents' family, was divorced. The family found a widower and married him in two days. The widower was old and ugly, and it was said that he was also divorced.

He likes to hit his wife. His last wife was beaten so hard that she was gone within a few days of lying in bed.

Zhang Chunmei sympathized with her fourth sister, but she also saw clearly the ruthlessness of her mother's family, and secretly reminded herself that she must not end up like this.

When Zhang Chunmei saw the meat and potatoes in her hand, she smiled happily, reached out and snatched it away, and said with disdain: "Why is it just such a small amount? I have heard that you, the old Song family, share a lot of meat.

!”

"No matter how much you score, it still has to fall into my hands? I brought these things back behind my mother-in-law's back! If you go back, you won't be able to escape after being beaten!" Zhang Chunmei made a sad expression.

Chunmei Niang let out a "tsk" and said: "That mother-in-law of yours, forget about digging her to death! You have everything in your hands, why? You still want to take it into the coffin! And you, I don't know how to get more.

!”

"You want more? Do you want me to be driven back by my husband's family like my fourth sister?" Zhang Chunmei couldn't help but raise her voice. Muffled cries came from the woodshed.

Chunmei Niang beat her a few times and said, "What if I send it back? I'll find a better one for you!"

"Come on! I'm fine now! Mom, do you know what 'a long stream of water' means? Only when I'm good can you get things from me. Don't do the 'killing of the goose to obtain the egg' thing! Otherwise,

, In the end, nothing was left behind!" Zhang Chunmei felt that she seemed to have talked a bit too much, so she didn't stay to eat, picked up the empty basket, and ran away from her parents' house as if she was running away!

The neighbors couldn't help but pick on Chunmeiniang behind their backs: "My daughter doesn't even leave a meal when she goes back to her parents' house! The whole family is lying on my daughter's body to suck blood! After the blood is sucked dry, she sells it to the old widower. I really don't want to do that.

It’s a human matter!”

The weather has turned cold these days and the wind has become strong. Su Yun did not take Fuya with her when she returned to her parents' home.

Song Ziran was lying on the kang bored, and her godmother Jiang Zhixue led her two twin sons in. She also brought several medicinal materials to teach the brothers to identify them.

Most of the grandson's cotton-padded jackets from last year were too short. Mrs. Wu used needle and thread to connect the sleeves of the cotton-padded jacket. Seeing this, she smiled and said, "A child at such a young age has begun to recognize medicinal materials?"

Jiang Zhixue smiled and said, "Isn't this idle time? We will send them to the town to study in the spring. It's time for these two brats to restrain their tempers."
