458 Separation Does Not Count 2
The lichang said to Bai Erzhu: "Erzhu, although you have split up your family, she is your mother after all. Now that she is in trouble, you should help her. Well, let me be your master, your elder brother and sister-in-law don't care. , They have hands and feet, let them live by themselves, but you have to take care of the old lady, weigh her five pounds of rice every month, and don't worry about anything else, what do you think?"
Erzhu took a look at Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang was on fire, and she really didn't want to agree, but what Li Chang said made sense. After all, the old lady was Erzhu's mother, and there was no reason for her son to watch her mother starve to death.
Finally, Mr. Zhang nodded, and without saying anything, turned around and entered the room.
Erzhu's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly said to the inside: "Okay, just do it like this."
Liu Shi was in a hurry and shouted: "It's only five pounds of rice? Who is enough to eat? Not to mention a month, just a few days of effort will be gone!"
Li Chang looked at her with a sullen face, with a look of disgust: "Aren't your ears deaf? Didn't you hear? This rice is for Erzhu to honor the old lady, these five pounds are not much, you are a big house, how much Erzhu gives, you guys You have to give the same amount, I want to say, if you have an extra acre of land, you should give more, even if five catties are not enough, plus the five catties you gave, it will be enough, right?"
The old lady rolled her eyes, the eldest family still pointed to the second child to support her, and gave her rice? What about a fool's dream?
Seeing that Mrs. Liu was silent, the chief of the liu waved his hand and said, "Okay, this matter is settled, everyone should leave."
After the good show ended, the big guys watching the excitement all left behind the head of the liang, and the outside of the Bai's courtyard was quiet again.
Seeing Erzhu left, Mrs. Liu hurriedly stepped forward to help the old lady, "Mother, this trick is quite effective, why don't we also use this trick to make envoys to Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan?"
The old lady glanced at her, and said angrily: "This trick is not less used by them, do you think it is useful?" She also wondered, Bai Zhi didn't look like such a hard-hearted person before, but now she looks like a different person. Like a person.
Mrs Liu smiled dryly: "It doesn't seem to be useful~" She rolled her eyes and helped the old lady to sit down in the bamboo chair in the courtyard, with a flattering smile on her face: "Mother, I'll ask Erzhu to ask for rice in a while, Don't worry, I will definitely help you get the rice over."
The old lady knew this daughter-in-law best, and the purpose of her words was obvious at a glance.
"No need, I'll ask for it myself, just take care of your own mouths, and you don't need to worry about my affairs."
Liu Shi was stunned: "Mother, what do you mean?"
The old lady didn't go around with her, and said directly: "Erzhu only gives me five catties of rice, no matter how much I save, it will be difficult for me to last a month, and I don't expect the five catties you should give me. Also, don't come to me to help you."
Liu Shi hurriedly said, "Mother, who are we not looking for? Then what are we going to eat?"
Mrs. Bai snorted softly: "What to eat? What to eat and what to eat, both people know how to find work and earn money to support their family, what do you know? You know that you sleep at home all day long, and you are too lazy to even look for wild vegetables. It would be good to have a maid and old lady to serve you, right?"
Liu Shi looked embarrassed: "Mother, what are you talking about? I don't go out to work, isn't it all you said? You said that you are bored at home alone, so let me stay and talk with you to relieve the boredom. It's all according to your arrangement!"
