Chapter 111 Balance

Xuemei coughed, "Mom, I don't want to come back."

Zhulan froze for a moment, frowned, "That's not okay, it's not that mother doesn't love you, you and son-in-law live in your mother's house right after separation, it's not good for your reputation or your family, if you don't trust your child, you can stay Next, you and your son-in-law can’t do it.”

Xuemei blushed, she really didn't mean to stay at her mother's house, "Mom, I don't mean to live at home, I heard from the aunt in the clan that a family in the clan moved to the county, and the house was vacant for rent, Jiang and I Sheng discussed living in Zhoujia Village, not only is it convenient to copy books, but Jiang Sheng can also consult with his father from time to time."

Zhulan was stunned, she said, she talked about how to live for Xuemei and her husband along the way, the couple kept laughing, it turned out that they had made up their minds, but living in her natal village as soon as the family was separated would be harmful to the daughter's reputation. Not good.

Xuemei guessed what Mother was thinking, "Mother, we have enough reasons. Jiang Sheng asked his father-in-law for advice, to be a scholar, and we don't have any land anymore. I'm really afraid that people will say that we will come back to help when we plow in spring and harvest in autumn." .”

Zhulan didn't blindly agree, and went out to find Zhou Shuren. She didn't know the ancient times as thoroughly as Zhou Shuren. When she went out, she saw Zhou Shuren's face was somber, and her son-in-law lowered his head. Zhou Shuren already knew what his daughter was thinking, "What do you think?"

Zhou Shuren frowned. There was a child foster husband in the family, and it was his proposal to separate the family. The eldest son-in-law moved there to live in a separate family, as if he was overbearing. rear."

At least when he was admitted as a scholar this year, the reason for asking him to teach Wen would be more convincing, and no one would discuss Jiang Sheng's family living there.

Jiang Sheng thought about it and understood what his father-in-law meant. His father-in-law is more knowledgeable than him, and there is no problem with being a scholar. Knowing that his thoughts were not thorough, he hurriedly said: "My son-in-law is impatient, and I am causing trouble for my father-in-law."

He was really impressed by his father-in-law's knowledge, otherwise he wouldn't think of it, and he knew it was bad.

So it's settled, we still have to buy everything we need to live. Boss Zhou first went to buy a carload of chopped firewood, and after unloading the car, he took Zhulan and Xuemei to the county.

In the county, I bought rice tanks, water tanks, jars, bowls and chopsticks, and prepared all the seasonings, and finally fine grains.

Zhulan also paid for eggs, meat, radishes and cabbage, and returned to Jiang's house with a cart full of things.

Zhou Shuren took Jiang Sheng to buy second-hand tables, chairs, cupboards, buckets and poles for carrying water in the village, and tried to buy as many as possible to avoid being ridiculed.

Zhulan subsidized two hundred Wen for her daughter, Xuemei spent about one tael herself, Zhou Shuren subsidized another two hundred Wen, and the family split spent one, two, or four hundred Wen.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren tried their best to provide everything for their daughter. They increasingly regarded the children as their own, and wanted to do everything well, so as not to hurt the children.

This made the jealous eyes of the daughters-in-law of the Jiang family turn red. Whose daughters are not just splashed water when they marry, but look at Zhou Xuemei, they feel that they just picked them up. With the Yue family relying on him, he didn't dare to be a monster or satirize him.

Do you want to talk about separating later? I really don't regret it, the Zhou family wouldn't help so much if they didn't have a split family, but it's hard to put pressure on the Jiang family to let Jiang Sheng study, so it's not as comfortable as it is now.

Jiang Sheng stayed at home to light the fire and look after the house, and Xuemei went back to Zhou's house.

In the future, Jiang Sheng will copy books at home, Zhou Shuren is worried about taking the original book back to copy, Jiang Sheng copied the first two books, he and Rong Chuan copied the remaining two books, and Jiang Sheng took home a hand-copied copy.

In the future, the children at home will also read the manuscript, and Zhou Shuren originally wanted to seal it up for safekeeping.

I had a good meal in the evening, and tomorrow the two children will live with Xuemei at home. After Xuemei's idea didn't work out, the children naturally took them back, so as not to cause any trouble to their parents.

Early the next morning, Zhulan packed things for the eldest daughter, the clothes of the family these days, an old quilt, spicy cabbage and sausages made by Mrs. Li,

Zhulan also caught a hen that was laying eggs, and finally gave the eldest daughter two taels of silver.

Xuemei ate and drank at her mother's house, and she couldn't even eat and blush when she returned home, "Mom, I'm already very guilty, don't give me any more money."

Zhulan wanted to guess that mothers have the problem of subsidizing their children, she especially understands that the Yang family can try their best to subsidize the original body, if it is not for fear that the son-in-law will become lazy, she would like to take more, "If you don't take it, you will dislike it less. "

Xuemei's nose was sour, "Mother, you know that's not what I meant."

There was a smile in Zhulan's eyes, "Mother knows that Mother will subsidize you this year, and when Jiang Sheng is admitted as a scholar next year, Mother will stop subsidizing you, okay?"

It's a pity in my heart, unless Jiang Sheng was admitted as a scholar and became a natural student, there would still be no money and rice subsidies, and only the imperial court would give money and subsidies every year.

So I still need Zhou Shuren's help!

Xuemei had confidence in her husband, knowing her mother's kindness, she accepted the money, "Thank you mother."

Zhulan didn’t personally send the eldest daughter’s family back home, but asked the eldest and second child to send them together. The grandson and granddaughter have developed a relationship. The two children cried, and Zhulan’s heart is filled with joy. Jiang Du, who has a very sweet mouth, is missing. , It seems that several children are missing, and I don’t have the energy to go back and lie down.

When Zhou Shuren came in with a book, he saw Zhulan's eyes were empty, and sat close to him, "Get ready to pack tomorrow, let's go to Pingzhou."

Zhulan was surprised, "Don't you wait for the first month?"

Zhou Shuren said: "Don't wait, it's not easy to buy out of the New Year's shop."

Zhulan is in a hurry. The rent for a shop is quite a lot for a year. One shop is enough for the whole family to use for a year. Saving money does not make money, and buying a shop only makes money. "Let's make an arrangement. Let's leave tomorrow?"

Zhou Shuren smiled, "I'm going to find the carriage and motorcade first tomorrow, and it will take a day or two to start."

Zhulan was not in a hurry, "Besides the two of us, who else are you going to take with you this time?"

Zhou Shuren had already thought about it, "I am not here. The boss has to support the family and take care of the Li family. The second child can fill in the lack of the boss. Chang Lian and Chang Zhi can't take school, and neither can Rong Chuan. It is suitable for special occasions, we only bring Xuehan himself this time, and also prevent Wang Ru from worrying about us when we are not here."

Counting the time, Zhulan bought the shop and it took seven or eight days to go back and forth. For a long time, Li Shi had to beat her hard, so that the tiger and the monkey would not be called kings when they were not at home.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren are activists. Early the next morning, Zhou Shuren went to the county to find a horse-drawn carriage and motorcade to Pingzhou. He set off early the next morning. The transportation hub of Pingzhou is not as rich as the south in the north, and the boundary of Pingzhou is very stable. Follow the convoy without worrying about safety.

At home, Zhulan took out food for eight days, and counted out one hundred copper coins for emergency household use. Zhulan gave the money to Mrs. Li and the grain to Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Li has a lot of money in his hand, so he won't hold on to a hundred Wen, and everyone has lucky money, even if something happens, he won't be in trouble for the money. Mrs. Li has the same money as if she didn't. Mrs. Zhao has a plan in mind , holding food to check and balance Li Shi, and Li Shi loves to nourish his brain, he must have thought that she secretly told Zhao Shi to watch her, Zhulan put a lock on Li Shi, and Li Shi didn't dare to mess around when she was not at home.
