Ruhua received Xia Hongdou's wink and pleaded with her.
"That's right, Mother. You should tell Fourth Brother. I have nothing to do at home. Why don't I go to the city to help my Fourth Sister-in-law earn some money to supplement the family?”
When Ruhua thought of the various tricks in the city, her heart rippled.
The dishes that the people in the city ate were all stir-fried in small pots. It was unlike this house, where it did not smell good at all after being cooked in a big pot.
"Mother, my fourth brother is very filial. He will definitely listen to you.”Xia Hongdou added.
Being said by these two people left and right, Liu-shi's heart panicked, thinking of the four days of about fifty taels of silver. As for the other party's capital and other expenses, she did not count them in.
"Alright, I'll go and take a look tomorrow before making a decision. Red Bean, Ruhua, you two will follow me to the market tomorrow." I want to see how the fourth brother and his wife make a living in the city.”
Hearing that she wanted to go into the city personally to see the two of them, Ru Hua and Xia Hongdou became proud. With this old lady going, she would at least stir up Shi Chuxue to bring out the recipe for braised meat. Thinking of this, Xia Hongdou ate the melon seeds much faster.
"Mother, let me tell you. Fourth Brother is too disobedient now. We went to the city to look for the two of them. Originally, we wanted to understand their life in the city. However, after entering the door for less than half an incense stick, they said that I entered the kitchen with ill intentions and chased me out. I only wanted to help this family, but you said that I had other intentions. How can there be such relatives?”
Liu-shi's eyes widened when she heard that." Really?”
"Isn't that so? My Chunfeng argued with them and even scolded the first three generations and the fourth generations. Sigh, Hanzhi wasn't such a person in the past. Mother, as the saying goes, when you get a wife, you have to marry a virtuous person. This is a disaster…Cough, I won't say it anymore. Anyway, Fourth Brother is becoming more and more unpresentable.”
Xia Hongdou had set the fire to this point. Seeing her mother's unhappy expression, she turned around and left.
"Fourth Brother Xia, you two want to fight with me? Hmph, let's see if I'll let you off.”
She thought proudly that she had to get the recipe for braised pork tomorrow. Therefore, he had to make a plan.
After returning home, Xia Hongdou discussed this matter with Chen Chunfeng.
Coincidentally, Grandma Zhang Shi was outside and had an ear.
She coughed and said," Chunfeng, Hongdou, what are you two discussing in the room? I've been listening for a long time. Do I want to ask what you four brothers want to earn money for?"”
Xia Hongdou didn't expect her mother-in-law to come back so quickly, so she immediately ran out of the house and told her the story of seeing Shi Chuxue selling meat in the market with an apologetic smile.
Zhang shi, however, changed the subject.
"In that case, Hanzhi's leg has recovered?”
Her mother-in-law seemed to be calm and collected, but she was in charge of all the money in the family. Besides, she had been running a business with her father-in-law all these years, so her family was still considered to have a small amount of money.
"Hanzhi's legs are much better. Sigh, back then, the doctor said that his legs and hands were probably going to be crippled. Otherwise, why would he marry this troublesome sister-in-law? After that man married Hanzhi, he taught Hanzhi some bad things. In the past, I listened to my mother's words, but now, on the first day of entering the house, I went against my mother's wishes. In the city, he only knew how to protect his wife and did not take me, his biological sister, seriously at all.”
Zhang shi knew that this daughter-in-law looked good, but she was narrow-minded and narrow-minded. Therefore, he only did his work and did not say much.
Xia Hongdou glanced at her mother-in-law in embarrassment." Sigh, if we had known earlier, we wouldn't have married that miscarriage."”
"That's true. Actually, Hanzhi and that woman haven't been together for long. If the two of them don't get along well, they can still separate. If that woman had committed any crimes, he could just divorce her and remarry her.”
Xia Hongdou was stunned.
He still hadn't come back to his senses.
Zhang shi said slowly and seemingly unintentionally.
"Sigh, your sister, Hongmei. The marriage isn't going to be good or bad. I don't know when it will be settled. Sigh, as a mother, she's the only girl. His aunt and I plan to give her 50 mu of fertile land as a dowry. He had to choose his family well.”
Xia Hongdou cried out involuntarily," Mother, you want to give my sister a dowry of 50 mu?”
This was too much. Was this old woman stupid or muddle-headed?
Giving a money-losing good 50 mu of fertile land was equivalent to 60 taels of silver.
If it weren't for this family, Xia Hongdou would have scolded her for being brainless. However, when she thought about how her mother-in-law only had Chen Chunfeng and her other brother-in-law, as well as her sister-in-law, Chen Hongmei, it was obvious that she cared for her.
It could be said that the Chen brothers were not very favored. On the other hand, her sister-in-law, who looked like a delicate flower, was a person that both her in-laws liked. However, her sister-in-law was indeed good at coming up with things. She talked to people and smiled at them without changing. Even she couldn't find fault with her sister-in-law.
"It's not just us. Hongmei's aunt in the neighboring village has also given her a dowry. Her aunt's life has been good these years and she said that she would give her ten mu of land. We are satisfied with the total amount of land we have. I just hope that Hongmei can find a good family so that she can help protect you guys.”
Her mother-in-law's words were always so reasonable. Even when it came to giving her sister-in-law a dowry, Xia Hongdou could not refute her. When she returned to the inner room, she was still in a bad mood. She pressed down on Chen Chunfeng and muttered softly.
"I say, you are also stupid. Our mother has always been very fond of your brother. If we can tell Hongmei to the Xia family, we will be even closer to each other. This…money, won't it fall into our pockets again?”
Xia Hongdou was stunned." Our family? And you're talking about our family? But in our family, Fourth and Fifth are just married. Sixth is a girl, and Seventh is still young. To whom?"
Chen Chunfeng only glanced at her sideways. Xia Hongdou jolted and immediately woke up.
"I understand now. You mean to say that…we should get rid of Fourth Sister, the woman who is now a disaster, and then point Hongmei to Fourth Sister?”
Chen Chunfeng kissed her." That's right. My wife is smart." In the past, my parents were very satisfied with Hanzhi. I almost wanted to marry your mother, but because of Hanzhi's health, I didn't mention it again. If you ask me, my mother and sister are actually still optimistic about Hanzhi. Although your brother has a cold face, he looks quite attractive to young girls.”
Although he had a cold expression, that awkward look made people want to tame him even more.
