Zheng Ying smiled, looked away, and continued talking to Li Changlei, "Second cousin, I need your help to say a word in front of my cousin. One day we invited my cousin to try our luck in the mountains together."
These words suited Li Changlei's temper, and he thought to himself, this kid is on the right track.
What is he talking about? Don’t you just want to go up the mountain together? Father reminded him repeatedly that he should go up the mountain, but he didn't dare to run up the mountain for several days.
The second uncle had already given all his skills to him. My nephew taught me sincerely, and there was no such thing as hiding anything for himself. He also learned with great care. Not to mention his second uncle's ability, he probably learned 10% of it, or 80% to 90%.
"It's all on me!" Li Changlei patted his chest, feeling relieved, "Tomorrow, just tomorrow! By chance, we also have a break, so we got up early to find my second uncle, and we went to the outskirts together to hunt some hares, pheasants and the like. My mother is very skilled at craftsmanship. Well, you’ll know after you taste it.”
Li Qiusui rolled his eyes, he really thought the mountains were your back garden! Pheasants and hares are waiting for you to catch them.
The second brother deserves a beating like this. When dad comes back next time, he really needs to be beaten.
Not wanting to continue listening to Zheng Ying's lies to his second brother, Li Qiusui and Liu went to the backyard to watch the chickens being killed.
The backyard is quite open. In addition to a piece of land for growing vegetables and a chicken coop built near the back door, there is also an open space in front.
Mrs. Liu caught two big roosters and plucked out the hair around their necks.
Li Qiusui took a big bowl from the kitchen and said, "Mom, save the chicken blood to make blood tofu. That one is delicious."
Mrs. Liu said that she was fine, and she raised the knife and dropped it.
After the blood of the chicken is clean, throw the chicken into a basin of hot water and pluck out the feathers, which will open the intestines and rupture the belly.
Countryside women are accustomed to killing chickens.
"Suisui, what did Mrs. Zheng tell you?"
Young Master Zheng was here, so it was inconvenient to ask questions. Madam Liu took the opportunity and couldn't help but ask.
Li Qiusui told the truth, including the matter of being allocated a separate courtyard.
"Mom, Mrs. Zheng, including Zheng Ying's two sisters, are all good-tempered. I have nothing to worry about there, just at home. My brothers have gone to school, and I can't handle the work in the field, so I'm looking for day laborers to help. You and Dad, don’t be reluctant to spend your money.”
"You know so much now!" Ms. Liu laughed.
It's really cool for such a villain to give her serious instructions.
Her heart felt sad again. Her little girl was only a few years old. She hadn't seen her for a few days and she only knew so much. How could she be afraid of panic in the Zheng family?
"Mother~" Li Qiusui called out, but I don't know if Ms. Liu heard what she said.
Mrs. Liu quickly turned her head and wiped her eyes, smiling: "I know, I know!"
Li Qiusui frowned, took off his purse, and took out three silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels, "These are three hundred taels of silver notes, which are the money from the orchids I took away last time. Mom, our family is not short of money, you and I Dad, relax."
"What did you say?" Mrs. Liu was shocked, thinking that she had misjudged him.
"It's the orchid that my second brother brought back. I raised it for a few months and sold it." Li Qiusui smiled and put the banknote in Liu's hand.
Mrs. Liu had never seen a banknote since she was a child. She wiped her hands clean before she dared to hold it in her hand and look at it carefully, "This is the banknote! Orchids are so valuable! You can see them everywhere on the mountain."
Ordinary orchids are certainly not worth that much.
Li Qiusui did not intend to elaborate on this with Mr. Liu.
She hasn't found a good way to make money for the time being. She doesn't plan to hide the orchid sales, so she needs to give her mother some reassurance first.
Her mother and father, including her sister Xia He, were all dressed in linen clothes.
Not only did she leave a bag of money last time, but the Zheng family also sent a lot of cotton cloth.
Being accustomed to saving is one thing, but it may also be caused by feeling sorry for my little girl and lack of confidence.
Mrs. Liu stuffed the banknote back into Li Qiu Sui's hand, "The money you gave me last time has not been touched yet. Your father said that I would give it to you again when I get the chance. Spend money in a wealthy family..."
Seeing Mrs. Liu becoming stubborn and refusing to accept it no matter how hard she pushed it, Li Qiusui also lost his temper and threw the banknotes to the ground, "No, just throw them all away!"
Tears welled up in my eyes, "Mom, I eat well and wear well every day there, but you and dad have to go to the fields, and the clothes on my sister's body are not as good as those of other people's maids. I feel uncomfortable!"
As he spoke, the tears flowed more fiercely, "My second brother dug the orchids. I read many books and spent three months raising them. Why can't you spend the money?"
"what happened?"
At the sound of her father's voice, Li Qiusui turned his face and ignored her mother.
"What's going on, Suisui?" Li Sanzhu's hands were full. From a distance, he could see his daughter jumping around and wiping her tears.
Li Qiusui sniffed and turned away without speaking.
Mrs. Liu was embarrassed, and hurriedly picked up the banknotes on the ground, handed them to Li Sanzhu, and explained the matter again.
"Sister-in-law will be here in a minute." Li Sanzhu whispered.
Putting down the things in his hands, he deliberately raised his voice and said: "Since it is my daughter who honors you, just keep it."
What happens if you accept it? It’s not you who has the final say!
Li Sanzhu winked at Mrs. Liu. "It's not my filial piety, it's our family's money." Li Qiusui looked at her father stamping his feet.
She still couldn't tell that this was said to her on purpose. They always felt indebted and were reluctant to spend the money they had.
"I'm not really married, so I won't have the money to show my respect. Aren't you going to want me?" Li Qiusui said, tears hanging on his cheeks, looking extremely pitiful.
"Don't cry. Don't cry every year. If you have anything to say, let's talk it over!" Li Sanzhu stepped forward and pulled the corner of his clothes to wipe his daughter's tears. "When we grow up, we can't cry all the time!"
Li Qiu Sui wiped his tears from his father's clothes and told him about selling orchids again.
"Dad, do you think this money belongs to the family?"
Li Sanzhu was confused. "There are a lot of orchids on the mountain. Your second brother showed them to others. Did you sell the flowers to the Zheng family? My daughter, we can't hold on to that little kindness..."
"Dad, listen to me carefully!" Li Qiusui shook her father's arm, "My second brother dug ordinary orchids, but I raised them well, so I sold them for money. Not all the flowers went to the Zheng family... "
That’s not because of the Zheng family’s help!
Before Li Qiusui finished speaking, she could see the meaning in her father's eyes.
This is still unclear!
Simply tell me the whole story in detail, including that Mr. Song, who boasted everything in the sky and nothing on the earth.
It’s impossible to tell the difference between a good person and a bad person like this! He must know the goods!
"Mr. Zheng's pot of orchids was a half-gift, and I didn't even ask him for any money." Li Qiusui finally said.
Li Sanzhu asked his daughter, "Does that book belong to the Zheng family? Did you learn to read from the Zheng family?"
Li Qiusui nodded.
"Giving someone a pot of orchids is the right thing to do." Li Sanzhu straightened his expression.
The topic became more and more biased, the pit dug deeper and deeper, and the lies became bigger and bigger.
