After Tong Shunqiang, the eldest brother-in-law at work, entered the house, he immediately looked at the three wads of banknotes divided on the table.
"Er baby, what are you...?"
Tong Shunqiang smiled sheepishly at first, and then he couldn't move his eyes away.
"Some time ago, we peeled off the bark of a tree in the mountains, it was Eucommia ulmoides. Today I went to the city with Sheng Wa and sold it. We sold the money in total. Now I call my brother-in-law, it's time to divide the money. .”
After Li Shiqiang finished speaking, he picked up a wad of banknotes and put them in front of Tong Shunqiang and said, "Here, brother-in-law, take it."
This thick stack of banknotes contains at least one thousand yuan.
Tong Shunqiang seemed to remember something at this time and said: "Er baby, I didn't do much work, why did you give me so much money!"
Looking at the eldest brother-in-law, Li Shiqiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Eldest brother-in-law, we are all family members, why should we shirk it? The money will be divided equally between the three of us. This will never happen again. If you don't want it, , I gave the money to my sister."
I don't know whether he heard that this would never happen again or whether he wanted to give the money to the eldest sister. Tong Shunqiang finally spread his hands with joy on his face.
When he opened his hand, Li Shiqiang saw the rough hands of his eldest brother-in-law.
Because he is a live-in son-in-law, it is basically the eldest brother-in-law’s turn to do most of the hard work at home.
For example, on the Li family's new house, he was still working with Li Nongchang when everyone else had stopped working.
As a man, Li Shiqiang can naturally understand the bitterness of being a door-to-door son-in-law, so he directly handed the money to his eldest brother-in-law.
"Here! Brother-in-law! Just take the one thousand two hundred and forty-three yuan."
"OK!"
The eldest brother-in-law rubbed his hands, swallowed, and immediately took it happily.
It's just that the money in the eldest brother-in-law's hands hasn't warmed up yet, and the eldest sister Li Shiying doesn't know when she will appear next to him.
"cough.."
Tong Shunqiang smiled and handed over the money in his hand: "Daughter-in-law, this is the money I just earned. Take it quickly."
Li Shiying glanced around and said with some embarrassment: "This is given to you by Erwa, just take it yourself."
Tong Shunqiang quickly shook his head and said: "Last time I took the money and sent it to my mother. This time I should give it to my wife after making money."
Li Shiying smiled happily, then took the money and said, "Okay, I'll take it first to prevent you from spending money randomly."
"hehe."
Seeing the eldest brother-in-law and eldest sister, Li Shiqiang smiled and threw another wad of money to Xu Sheng.
"Take it and go home quickly. Find yourself a wife quickly and help you take care of the money."
"I want you to say more!"
Xu Sheng took the money with a look of disgust and hurried home.
After Xu Sheng left, Li Shiqiang just wanted to pick up his share of the pile of money on the table.
Chen Xianglan on the side immediately held him down: "Er baby, we agreed. Before we get married, I will keep this money for you. After you get married, it will be your business. Now..."
Just when Chen Xianglan was about to put the money in her pocket, the third and fourth children, who had been watching the show silently, suddenly became a little anxious.
"Mom, you can leave some for your second brother. Since your second brother makes so much money, you have to let him get some money."
"That's right, Mom! If Erguo is hungry and wants to buy something to eat, he won't have any money!"
"Ah!"
After Chen Xianglan sneered, she glared at the two of them: "I still don't know what the hell you are planning to do. Isn't it just that you want to ask your second brother to buy you food?"
Listening to their mother exposing their true thoughts, the two little girls suddenly became dejected.
But unexpectedly, Chen Xianglan turned around and smiled: "I don't need to trouble your second brother with this matter. I will take you to the commune in two days. If there is anything you want to eat, I will buy it for you!"
"Really, Mom!"
"Mom, you are so kind!"
The two people's faces were full of surprise and a little bit of disbelief.
Then, Chen Xianglan took out a fraction of the 243 yuan from the wad of money Li Shiqiang received and gave it to Li Shiqiang.
"If you have money, save some money and remember to buy something for Yun Wazi when you have time."
"knew."
Just as Li Shiqiang finished nodding, Chen Xianglan reminded again: "Remember to send something to Widow Liu's house later. Don't forget it."
"OK."
After everyone in the family went to work, Li Shiqiang cut some bacon from the kitchen and carried some rice on his back and went out.
Widow Liu is similar to the Li family in that she is not from the village.
Moreover, the man she married did not have a popular surname in the village. Since her husband died, she has become somewhat unpopular in the village.
Even her parents-in-law kicked her out.
There are not many other reasons, just because she gave birth to a daughter and killed her man.
It is said that when Widow Liu was pregnant, her husband wanted to get her some delicious food, so he went to the mountains to hunt for food.
But I went the day before and didn't come back until the second night.
When the family anxiously asked Chen Sanye to go to the mountain to check the situation, they only found a half-eaten corpse.
After Widow Liu finally gave birth to a little girl, she was kicked out of the house.
Some people in the village saw that she had no place to live, and she had a newborn child. They looked pitiful, so they helped build two thatched houses.
When building thatched houses, Li Nongchang and Li Shiqiang also went to help, so Li Shiqiang directly found Widow Liu's home tonight.
"Mom, I'm hungry..."
"It's okay. Go to bed first. You won't be hungry when you sleep... Mom will find you something to eat tomorrow."
As soon as he came to the door, Li Shiqiang vaguely heard voices inside.
Widow Liu is alone and has to take care of her children, so she can't earn a few work points. In addition, the village doesn't get much food after each autumn harvest, so she often goes to other people's houses to borrow food.
As soon as Chen Xianglan heard that Widow Liu had come, she immediately asked Li Shiqiang to deliver food.
"Sanjie Liu, have you slept?"
"Which one!?"
"It's me, Shi Qiang! Didn't you just come to my house just now?"
"It's my brother-in-law!"
Widow Liu's voice suddenly changed from full of vigilance to full of surprise.
Then, in the dim night, a figure immediately came out of the house.
Although it was already dark, Li Shiqiang still saw Widow Liu's two white arms, which were very eye-catching.
"Brother, why are you here?"
When Widow Liu came closer, the milky smell hit her face again.
Li Shiqiang lifted the things in his hands and said, "My mother asked me to bring you some meat and rice."
"ah!"
Widow Liu looked happy and immediately reached out to take it and said: "Thank you Hadiwa! There is nothing to eat at home, so I won't be polite to you."
"You're welcome! After the things have been delivered, I'll go back first."
Li Shiqiang waved his hand and prepared to go home.
But when he turned around, he felt a warm figure approaching, and one of his arms was wrapped by two round things.
"Brother, don't leave in a hurry!"
