Chapter 15 The power of running the family

Zhao Yunlan went to the upper room to find Mrs. Wang: "Mom, I have borrowed the money back. This is one thousand yuan. Please keep it."

Mrs. Wang looked at the bunch of copper coins and felt a little uncomfortable, "Let's leave the money for now. Go and see if your father and the others have finished their work. If they have, call them back."

"Hey, okay, mom, let me go to the fields."

Zhao Yunlan arrived at the field and saw Old Man Li, his two younger brothers and some villagers gathered around to discuss something unknown, "Dad, are you busy?"

"Sister-in-law, the work in the fields is almost done today. I'll go back in a moment." Li Mingli came over and said, and as he was talking, he saw Li Mingzhi coming down from the mountain in the distance.

"Dad, what are they talking about? They've been talking for so long." Zhao Yunlan

"Father and the others are worried about a bad harvest of wheat this year. There was a lot of rain in the past few days and the ground was too wet. Fortunately, the weather has been good these two days. Dad and the others are worried about a lot of rain in the future," Li Mingli said.

Zhao Yunlan looked at the sky and couldn't tell whether it would rain later. There was no weather forecast in ancient times. In this era of low productivity, we had to rely on the weather!

Zhao Yunlan said, "Looking at the sunshine these two days, I hope the rain won't come too heavily later. Go call dad home first. Mom has something to do."

Li Mingzhi hurried to Zhao Yunlan's side, "Sister-in-law, I picked some fungus and some mountain mushrooms, but I just didn't have the luck to pick up pheasants."

Zhao Yunlan: "These things are pretty good. There are so many pheasants waiting for our Lao Li family to pick them up."

Li Mingzhi chuckled: "I saw Uncle Zhang and Uncle Erzhu looking for wild boars on the mountain, but I didn't dare to join in the fun."

"Well, it's good to know. Since we don't know how to hunt, we shouldn't cause trouble for others. Let's go back." Zhao Yunlan walked home as he spoke.

When the Li family returned home, Li Mingren came out of the house and went to the upper room together. The younger sister poured a bowl of water for everyone and waited for Mr. Wang to speak.

Mrs. Wang took out the original eleven hundred cents, and took out the thousand cents borrowed by Zhao Yunlan from her pocket and put it on the table.

The whole family's eyes were focused on the copper coins. Zhao Yunlan looked at Mrs. Wang: "Do you have any plans?"

Mrs. Wang looked at the size of the Li family and looked at Zhao Yunlan firmly: "Lanniang, from today onwards, the money will be handed over to you. I really don't have the energy to take care of this family, otherwise this family will not be able to do anything."

I've reached this point today because my mother's body is so weak."

Zhao Yunlan: "Mom, your body will be well taken care of. It's not appropriate to leave the money here with me. It's better for you to keep it yourself."

"I said I'll leave it to you and I won't change it. If others have any opinions, they can say it now." Mrs. Wang looked at Old Man Li and the Li brothers and sisters.

Old man Li was silent and showed no dissatisfaction. The Li brothers and sisters also had no objections. Li Mingmei said, "Mom, we all agree. Mom can take care of herself and take care of herself. We all listen to mother and sister-in-law."

At this moment, Li Mingren appeared to be deaf to what was going on outside the window. For him, this issue of who was in charge of the money was just a trivial family matter that delayed him from making a fuss.

Zhao Yunlan looked at the Wang family, who glanced at the eldest son and said: "After all, our Li family can't help you. We have to take care of these things when you get married. But now the Li family can't stand the trouble. I will give the money to you."

You just hand over this family to you, and the harvest from the fields and the money earned by your brothers and sisters from working will be handed over to you, but you will have to help your brothers and sisters get married in the future."

When Li Mingmei heard about the marriage, she lowered her head shyly.

Li Mingyi then said: "Mom, I have no plans to get married yet, so you don't have to worry about me this year."

"It's not up to you to decide on the wedding. If you delay it, your younger siblings will delay it with you."

Li Mingyi: "Mom, I'm going to get married on my own, and I can't make the decision anymore."

Old Man Li slapped the table: "I'm still here, who do you want to be in charge of?"

Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingyi and wanted to say something else: "Second brother, please stop saying a few words." He turned around and looked at Li's expression. There was no change before continuing, "Mom, second brother is also devoted to this family. Hey,

Let’s not talk about getting married for the moment. Regardless of whether I am in charge of the family or not, as long as the second brother has a family he likes, I, as the sister-in-law, will definitely help."

Mrs. Wang took a breath and said, "Mother has left this family in your hands. As a mother, I don't want to leave it alone. If you are unsure about anything, you can come to me to discuss it."

Zhao Yunlan: "Mom, since this is the case, I won't shirk anymore. I will take over this family for the time being. Mom, I won't be polite and don't say sorry to me anymore. Since I have become the wife of the Li family, I will definitely not let you down."

Your trust will not let down our Li family."

"With your words, mother will be satisfied. You can arrange the money!"

Zhao Yunlan took these two large strings of copper coins and some loose copper coins, gave Li Mingren one thousand two hundred coins, and then divided the remaining nine hundred coins into nine parts, "Little sister, go get some shorter ropes."

Come on, I'll put this and the long rope away and won't use them anymore."

Li Mingmei found a rope, and Zhao Yunlan strung it up for every one hundred fen, and then arranged, "I will first set aside money for mother's medicine and some urgent needs at home. I said 250 fen before, so I want to leave a

Three hundred coins, leave a little more, there are still six hundred coins. I will set aside two hundred coins for meat. Everyone in the family should take care of themselves. My mother’s disease is also the same. Eat more nutritious food, which will be beneficial.

recover."

Li Mingzhi scratched his head: "Sister-in-law, what is nutrition?"

Zhao Yunlan sighed inwardly, well, it would be wrong to say more: "Maybe it's something delicious. I don't know exactly, I just heard it."

Li Mingzhi still scratched his head, and Zhao Yunlan said, "Okay, I'll keep the rest of the money until I go to town to have a look and then make arrangements."

Mrs. Wang didn't ask what Zhao Yunlan was doing in the town. Since she had handed over the housekeeping rights, she had to keep her hands off her hands.

"Tomorrow, the boss will go back to town. You can go with him. There will be someone to look after you on the way. The second and third sons will also go to town tomorrow to see if there is any work. There is not much work in the fields during this time. The fourth brother

It’s almost enough to work with your dad at home.”

Zhao Yunlan thought that she would be able to have the big bed to herself tomorrow. She was so happy that she couldn't help but smile.

Li Mingmei looked at Zhao Yunlan and smiled, saying, "Sister-in-law, have you thought of any good ideas?"

Zhao Yunlan knew that Li Mingmei had misunderstood: "Hey, I won't tell you. Let's go and make dinner."

Everyone left the upper room. The Li brothers followed their father to the back mountain to cut bamboo and planned to weave some baskets. Li Mingren went back to the room to review his homework.

Mrs. Wang herself sat by the bed and looked at Xiaobao laughing happily, as if she saw hope.

After dinner in the evening, Zhao Yunlan fell into panic again. He kept comforting himself that Li Mingren would only stay for the last night and insisted that Li Mingren would not mess around.

I haven't even had a relationship in many years. It's really painful to come here and sleep with my so-called husband-in-law.

Li Mingren was reading at the end of the bed as usual, and Zhao Yunlan took the washed baby to lie down on the bed. He could only sigh in his heart: Go to sleep, sleep, you won't know anything when you fall asleep.

After a while, Li Mingren heard the breathing of one large and one small child. Li Mingren turned over the book softly, feeling as if his heart was filled with something.

Another good night's sleep, Zhao Yunlan was once again annoyed that he could sleep in this situation, ugh...

hey-hey
