Mr. Qian and Mr. Wang were excitedly touching the frame and the cow, thinking that they would not have to walk when they went to town in the future, and they were very happy!
Then he saw his money-losing daughter talking to her mother-in-law about saving a dowry. Her face suddenly changed and she rushed over. First she apologized to Ning Pengpeng, and then she scolded Ning Mian'er.
Ning Pengpeng's face became darker and darker after hearing Qian's repeated words of scolding Ning Mian'er for losing money.
When Qian saw her mother-in-law's face darkening, she became even more panicked. She couldn't help but reach out and poke Ning Mian'er's forehead.
However, before the finger touched Ning Mian'er, Ning Pengpeng pushed her away.
"mother!?"
Qian looked at Ning Pengpeng with a panicked look on her face, and she was at a loss.
"Qian, how many times do you want me to tell you? If you don't take yourself seriously and are willing to despise yourself, that is your Qian family's business. No matter how others treat their daughter, my daughter of the Ning family is the Ning family.
The treasure of the family. If you dare to do it again, then go back to your Qian family as soon as possible.
And if you really can't stand these girls and don't want them, then let me raise them and take care of them.
However, when the time comes, don’t even think about letting them control you, a mother-in-law.”
Because of her mother's scolding, Ning Mian'er's eyes were as bright as if they were poured down by a basin of water and were about to go out.
Now being protected by her grandma, after hearing her words, the light in her eyes suddenly lit up again like stars.
"Third daughter-in-law, go get a bag of beans for Mian'er. Mian'er, you can get as many copper coins as your aunt can get from picking up a bag of beans. You can keep this money yourself, and you can spend it whenever you want.
Just use it wherever it is useful.
As for the dowry, not only you, but also your sisters and cousins, grandma will also prepare a dowry for you all that is the same as that of your aunt.
But, similarly, if you are not clean when picking beans, if I check it out, I will punish you like your aunt and deduct your dowry, do you understand?"
When Mrs. Wang heard her mother-in-law's assurance, she suddenly felt happy. This was because her Hong'er's dowry had been secured!
He quickly brought a bag of beans over, placed it in front of Ning Mian'er, and said with a smile.
"My wife-in-law must thank Mian'er properly for allowing Hong'er, my younger sister, to take advantage of her and get my mother's dowry in vain."
"You're just a poor person, so hurry up and cook. After dinner, you still have to make cakes."
Ning Pengpeng glared at Mrs. Wang and then glanced at her belly.
"From now on, let the third child do the climbing and squatting."
After saying that, without even glancing at Mr. Qian, she turned around and went into her room to calculate how much money she had spent these days.
After all, she has to go harvest sugar cane next!
Seeing her mother-in-law enter the house, Qian's face turned as white as a ghost.
Mrs. Wang glanced at her, then turned and went to the kitchen.
This made Ms. Qian even more suffocated, feeling that Ms. Wang was just laughing at her.
However, now that Ms. Wang is proud in front of her mother-in-law, if she starts to quarrel with her, she will inevitably be scolded by her mother-in-law again.
Then he looked towards the daughter of the loser, Ning Mian'er, and saw that she was happily surrounding the bag of beans with her three younger sisters. She lowered her head and carefully picked up the beans without even looking towards her.
Qian couldn't help but cover her heart, feeling that she couldn't survive this day!
She originally thought that after the family separation, she would be able to take charge of the family, but in the end, her mother-in-law still had the final say.
My husband can't even be beaten with three sticks.
None of the girls who gave birth to this group of girls were considerate, and they all made her upset.
This made Qian even more determined to give birth to a son.
However, she is the only one who knows her sadness and pain.
Ning Laoer's thoughts were all focused on the newly purchased cow.
When Ning Laoer returned to the house at night, Qian wanted to ask him to express her inner anguish and grievances, but the only response she received was her snoring.
Ning Pengpeng didn't care about Qian's thoughts, since he had already given the warning.
Anyway, Xiaowu didn't seem to have anything else to do besides picking up beans.
If Mrs. Qian is really so ignorant, the worst she can do is take over the four little ones and let Xiao Wu take care of them, so as to save her from being busy all day long and causing some trouble when she goes out.
Ning Pengpeng thought and calculated the accounts in his hands.
When the family was separated, he had a total of fourteen taels, including the silver of Xiao Si and Xiao Wu's family.
These days, I earn about thirty taels of silver from making pastries.
After deducting the twenty-four taels of silver that I spent today to buy the cow and the carriage, I only have twenty-four taels of silver left in my hand.
She also asked the third child to build the pulping cart, as well as the iron pot and earthenware jar that the fourth child bought. She estimated that she would have to prepare at least ten taels of silver.
The rest turned into fourteen taels of silver!
Among them, nine taels are the money it will cost Xiaosi and Xiaowu to get married, as well as the money they will spend to separate their families, and the other five taels are her pension money.
Therefore, nine taels of silver among them must not be touched.
The only thing she can spend next is her five taels of pension money.
However, according to what she has inquired over the past few days, there are very few villages in this area that specialize in growing sugar cane.
On the other hand, there are quite a few wild sugarcane forests in some wastelands.
Because no one was cutting them down for food, the sugarcane forests grew longer and longer, leaving patches of them uncultivated.
When Ning Pengpeng heard the news, she almost grinned from ear to ear.
However, even if it is a wild sugarcane forest growing on a wasteland.
Occasionally I chop some to eat, but that's not much of a problem.
However, if a large batch is cut and juiced, if someone discovers it, it may cause unnecessary disputes.
The best way is to buy the wasteland of wild sugar cane forest.
There are 821 acres of fertile land and 221 acres of dry land. To be honest, this wasteland is really given to others for free. Others despise the effort to dig out the land. The land is covered with intricate sugar cane roots.
But if someone really occupied these wastelands for nothing, they would definitely be criticized again.
Therefore, how to buy these wild sugarcane forests at the cheapest price is a top priority.
I don’t know if the five taels of silver in my hand are enough?
"Enough, why is it not enough? But, aunt, are you sure you really want to buy those ten acres of wild sugar cane forest land?"
When Ning Youzhi heard what Mrs. Ning said, he agreed without hesitation.
However, after thinking about it, I realized that it was a relative who had broken bones and connected tendons, so I solemnly asked Mrs. Ning again.
Ning Pengpeng also didn't expect that things would go so smoothly this time when she came to Li Zheng's house.
She glanced at the old face in front of her. Although he was older than her, he was younger than her. She thought that since the separation, he had been standing by her side to speak for her. Since the other party treats her so sincerely,
You might as well help him yourself.
After all, a chopstick is easy to break, but a chopstick cannot be bent.
