Chapter 145
Su Wan nodded, and Song Xiaomei immediately became excited: "So I divided so much last time? No wonder our family can buy dozens of acres of land at one go."
Su Wan smiled and said, "With this money, my parents hired as many long-term workers as they collect as much grapes as they could."
Song Xiaomei nodded vigorously: "No, I really want to see how much 300 taels are. I didn't dare to think about so much money before."
The lunch was just ready, and all the people working in the fields were back. Today's lunch was sumptuous. Su Wan brought a chicken and a duck from the county. Before the chicken was killed, the duck asked Song Xiaomei to stew the soup to nourish her body. There were fish and meat at home. The harder it was during the busy farming period, the better it was to eat. The fish was caught in the pond of her own. She didn't spend money, but only picked cheap lean meat to buy it. No matter how nervous she spent, she wouldn't save too much food.
Everyone working in the yard washed their hands and faces. They were so hungry that they sat on the table and picked up bowls of rice to eat. Song's mother took several mouthfuls of rice in one breath with the old duck soup, and then said, "Is this duck brought back by Ziheng's wife? Everyone said that you have a lot of money in the city, so what should you spend money on this?"
"We are serious and filial to our parents, not a waste." Su Wan smiled. Song Ziheng had already taken out a purse from the house. It was heavy. It was obvious that there was a lot of money in it. He handed the money to Dad Song, which was similar to what Su Wan said to Song Xiaomei. Dad Song passed by and was quite calm. His hand that only held the purse was shaking a little. But Song's mother couldn't help but lean over and looked at it for several times, and immediately smiled, "This is really an urgent matter for the in-laws. Ziheng, you will definitely go to the in-laws for us and bring my words to him. Our whole family thanked him for not having time, but this caused trouble for the in-laws again."
"What a trouble, why should the family care about these?"
Dad Song put away his purse and relieved his embarrassment of lack of money. Then the atmosphere of using food became much easier. Grandma Song smiled and said to Song's mother: "You didn't see that. My great-grandchildren came back and wore blue shirts like the three of us and dressed as a scholar. They looked really good. When they looked at each other from a distance, even the younger sister almost regarded the big baby as three of us."
Song's mother nodded and said, "Although I haven't seen it, I heard Caifu Niang's second wife say when she went to call for food. Didn't she have it again? The pregnancy is not good, Caifu Niang didn't ask her to go to the field and asked her to cook at home. She said that when we see the scholars in our family come back, the situation is really enviable."
Grandma Song's attention was immediately diverted, and she asked: "Caifu Niang's daughter-in-law is pregnant again? Her third girl has just been weaned for a while!"
Song's mother subconsciously glanced at Su Wan. The daughter-in-law of the neighbor next door gave birth to one after another. Her new daughter-in-law has been in the house for more than a year. She is a mother-in-law who needs to ask a few questions, but the daughter-in-law just got the money back. Seeing that her daughter-in-law was also thinking about her family, she was afraid that she was thin-skinned and felt that she was blaming her. Song's mother moved her lips, but she still said nothing, and smiled and responded to Grandma Song: "No, but Caifu Niang is also worried, afraid that she will give birth to another girl. Their family has a bunch of girls, and she has a baby grandson."
Grandma Song nodded and smiled, "This little fortune-telling mother is not as good as you, and her grandson is really less."
Zhang thought that his third brother and sister had not been born for a year after entering the door, and it was embarrassing to listen to this topic, so he said to Su Wan: "I haven't thanked my third brother and sister for taking care of my children. They are disobedient at home, but now they are much more sensible when they come back. I think the third brother and sister have spent a lot of kung fu education on weekdays, and it's very hard." After Zhang said that, he couldn't help but look at his two sons, his eyes full of pride and gratitude.
"What are the polite sister-in-law doing? They called me "Auntie". My uncle and my second uncle have many helps on weekdays. I will naturally be responsible for them when I take them there, otherwise how can I be worthy of you and your parents? They are just working hard, and they don't need me to urge you every day, so they read books and practice calligraphy by themselves."
"That's a blessing for my brother and sister-in-law." Although Li had a sharp mouth, no one in the Song family could say anything except Su Wan, but she couldn't stand Su Wan and could not learn to be as flattering as her sister-in-law. She was only stared at by her husband several times before she had to speak up and said dryly and politely.
Su Wan also said, "Second sister-in-law, why are you polite?"
Zhang said again: "I think it's because I spent a lot of money on food and clothing these days. I heard that the monthly tutoring costs 300 cents. It's a few taels of silver a year. My younger brother and sister have specially made new clothes for them. I told me that the half-aged boy is fast and he has worn new clothes for less than the second year. Why bother using such good materials for them?"
Zhang is really not cheap and behaves well. She is always very careful. No matter how much she loves her son, she is reluctant to spend money to buy such good materials for them to wear. She doesn't have the money to put on her younger brothers and sisters, but she doesn't have the reason to be at ease. She has to persuade her, so she nodded and smiled, and received her feelings.
