Collecting mountain goods is not an easy job, especially now that he is visiting more and more villages, and the places are getting farther and farther away. Sometimes he sets out before dawn, and it is common for him to return home in the middle of the night.

He had to be moved around when loading, and he couldn't even remember when he got the bruises on his body. He was so worried that his accounting was wrong, so he even took time to learn from Lin Feng...

Seeing that Lin Cong turned red and was about to cry in front of her, Jiang Yan silently patted his forehead and said seriously: "Why don't you kid let me finish my sentence? I was watching the cold weather, who?

They are all wearing thick autumn clothes, and no matter how bad they are, they will wear more to keep warm. Why are you wearing such a thin piece of rotten autumn clothes?"

"The monthly salary Lin Xi has set for you is two taels of silver a month. This salary is not low in theory. If you are reluctant to buy ready-made clothes, you can buy some cloth and find a woman in the village who knows how to make clothes to help you make clothes. Or

Say, did you give all the money to your mother?"

Two taels of silver a month is enough to catch up with Qiao Le's wife's monthly income. In the past few months, it will be enough to buy a new house in the village, not to mention new clothes.

Lin Cong breathed a sigh of surprise. Thinking of Aunt Jiang's words, he couldn't help but shake his head. He frowned and considered it for a long time before he stumbled and said: "When the monthly payment is made, the money is not warm in my hands.

Let my mother take it away, and I will buy me some clothes with her... Hey... I can't help it, she is my mother..."

Lin Cong started crying again as he spoke. The sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy couldn't hold back his tears and choked with sobs. His mother renovated the family's house, built two more rooms, bought new furniture and bedding, and his younger brother

She and she also changed into a new and beautiful pair of fine linen and satin clothes, while he had nothing but these two pairs of coarse linen clothes...

Sometimes he was dissatisfied and had quarrels with his mother several times, and each time he was either scolded or beaten with a stick. If he was too tough, she would start crying again, saying "You can't help your mother" and "You are not filial".

He was speechless.

But even Aunt Jiang could care about whether he was cold or not, so why did his own mother turn a blind eye to him...

Seeing that his eyes were swollen from crying, Jiang Yan sighed, "Xiao Cong, you are no longer a child. You can start talking about kissing at your age. A son should be filial to his parents, but he should not be filial. My

I don’t mean that you and your mother should sever ties and never have any contact with each other until death. As the saying goes, obey your husband when you marry and obey your son after your husband dies. When your wings were not full, your mother said whatever you said. Now that you have grown up, since your mother said

No, it’s time for you to stand up."

In ancient times, filial piety was paramount. The indoctrination they had received since childhood was to be filial to their parents. Whether they were scholars or those in rural areas who were barefoot in the fields, they all put filial piety to their parents first.

Just like the Lin family brothers before, the original body would hit and scold them. If they were not allowed to eat, they would not dare to eat. If they were not allowed to speak, they would not dare to speak. It didn’t matter whether the original body was right or not. As long as she wanted to do something, the Lin family brothers would have

No matter how uncomfortable it is, no matter how unwilling it is, we can only obey.

Submissiveness has been a habit they have developed since childhood, and it is very difficult to suddenly change.

"I'll ask Tao Bai to pay you this month's wages later. You go buy two pairs of ready-made clothes. Keep the money yourself and don't let your mother take it away. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll freeze before you get through this winter.

He died in that corner."

Lin Cong nodded. After crying so wildly, his mood improved a lot. He looked at Jiang Yan gratefully with his red eyes and said hoarsely: "Aunt, I don't know what to do. I want to change, but I don't dare to resist.

Mom, the trouble was so serious last time that you even threatened me by biting your tongue and committing suicide..."

Jiang Yan:......

If a person who gets money does not buy food or drink and stockpile food immediately, but instead keeps buying clothes and repairing the house, will she be willing to eat?

Jiang Yan sneered. Only a fool like Lin Cong would be really frightened. Although she was not familiar with Lin Cong's mother, judging from her original memory, everyone was too poor to reveal the blame in the famine years.

Sometimes, she can still have spare money to buy rouge and gouache to dress herself up. Not only will such people not commit suicide, they are also more afraid of death than anyone else!

The breath changed in an instant, and the expression on Jiang Yan's face became much colder. She said indifferently: "Don't worry, your mother is not the kind of person who thinks about things. I can guarantee you this. If you are a trustworthy aunt, then

Do as I say."

"Auntie, tell me, I believe you!" Lin Cong nodded immediately, subconsciously moved closer, raised his ears and waited seriously for Jiang Yan to give him an idea.

"From now on, you should leave some food expenses for her every month. Don't leave too much money. The village can't spend much money. You leave 500 Wen for her every month and keep the rest for yourself. If he fights

If you scold me for causing trouble, you can just leave. If there is no place to sleep, you can sleep with Lin Xi."

There is no tax in the village this year, and Lin Cong's family has enough food. Not counting the newly harvested food, five hundred coins is enough to feed two people, one large and one small, and there is still some leftover.

A woman and a child eat one and a half kilograms of brown rice a day. The price of brown rice has now reached 8 cents per catty, which is more than three hundred cents a month.

Lin Cong nodded slowly and said nervously: "Aunt, what if my mother really bites her tongue and commits suicide?"

"Don't worry, he won't. If she threatens you like this again, you can just leave. Moreover, you won't really die if you bite your tongue and commit suicide. If you are really worried, pretend to leave and then sneak back to take a look.

If she really bites her tongue, come to me and I will find a way to cure her."

In ancient times, it was always said that biting one's tongue would kill oneself. In fact, one would not die immediately. She had seen many people with missing parts of their tongues still living well.

It is actually very difficult to commit suicide by biting your tongue. The reason why people committed suicide by biting their tongue in ancient times is that after biting off the entire tongue, the pain will make you unbearable and pass out. Moreover, the blood vessels at the base of the tongue are large, and ancient medical treatment was backward. Many

People all bleed to death after enduring extreme pain.

There are also luckier ones, such as those who die from the pain immediately from the beginning, or those who die from suffocation due to the base of the tongue blocking the organs and the backflow of blood.

But no matter what kind of pain it is, Lin Cong's mother will never really try it. Even if she really bites her tongue, with the plug-in of the mall, Jiang Yan can save her as soon as possible.

"I understand, Auntie."

Lin Cong was also very sure in his heart. He knew that his mother, who would get very angry even with a small incision, should be... impossible to commit suicide...

"By the way, Auntie, do you want me to do something for you?" After gathering his emotions, Lin Cong couldn't hide his shyness and scratched his head in embarrassment. Then he remembered that his aunt had something to arrange for him.
