Chapter 111 Balance

Xuemei coughed, "Mom, I don't want to come back and live."

Zhulan was stunned for a moment and frowned, "That's not OK. It's not that my mother doesn't love you. You and your son-in-law lived in your parents' home just after they split up. It's not good for your reputation and family. If you are not at ease with your children, the children can stay, but you and your son-in-law can't do it."

Xuemei's face was red. She really didn't mean to stay at her parents' home. "Mom, I don't mean to live at home. I heard from my aunt in the clan that a family in the clan moved to the county and the house was empty for rent. Jiang Sheng and I discussed living in Zhoujia Village. Not only was it convenient to copy books, but Jiang Sheng could also ask his father for advice from him from time to time."

Zhulan suddenly realized, she said, along the way, she said how to live for Xuemei and her husband. The couple kept laughing dryly. It turned out that they had made up their minds, but they lived in their parents' village as soon as they parted, which was not good for their daughter.

Xuemei guessed what her mother was thinking, "Mom, we have enough reasons. Jiang Sheng asked her father-in-law for advice to take the exam for scholars, and we had no land anymore. We are really afraid that people will say that we will come back to help us without any ambiguity."

Zhulan didn't agree, so she went out to find Zhou Shuren. She didn't know much about ancient times. When she went out, she saw Zhou Shuren's calm face and looked at her son-in-law's head lowered. Zhou Shuren already knew what her daughter was thinking, "What do you think?"

Zhou Shuren frowned. There was a child husband at home. He originally advocated the separation of the family. The eldest son-in-law moved in to the family. It seemed like he was too domineering. He thought about it, "It's okay to live in it, but you have to wait until the spring plowing."

At least when he gets into the scholar this year, the reason for asking for teaching literature will be more convincing. Jiang Sheng and his family will live there and there will be no discussion.

Jiang Sheng changed his mind and understood what his father-in-law meant. His father-in-law was more knowledgeable than him, and he had no problem with a scholar. He knew that his ideas were not comprehensive, so he hurriedly said, "The son-in-law is anxious and has caused trouble for his father-in-law."

He was really impressed by his father-in-law's knowledge, otherwise he would not have any thoughts, and he knew it was not good either.

It was decided that I still have to buy all the things I should live in. Boss Zhou first bought a truck of chopped firewood. After unloading the truck, he took Zhulan and Xuemei to the county.

I bought rice jars, water jars, jars, bowls and chopsticks in the county, and bought all the seasonings, and finally I had fine grains.

Zhulan also paid for eggs, meat, radish and cabbage, and then returned to Jiang's house after a truckload of stuff.

Zhou Shuren and Jiang Sheng bought second-hand tables, chairs, cupboards, buckets and poles for carrying water in the village. Try to buy them all without being sarcastic about borrowing them.

Zhulan gave her daughter a 200-yuan supplement. Xuemei spent about one or two taels by herself, and Zhou Shuren supplemented another 200-yuan supplement. She spent one or four hundred-yuan coins to split the family.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren tried their best to buy all their daughters. They treated their children more and more as their own, hoping to do everything and not make them suffer.

This made the daughters-in-law of the Jiang family red with jealous eyes. Whose daughters are not splashed with water when they get married? But looking at Zhou Xuemei, they feel that they are picking up the ones, and they can't separate them even if they are jealous. The younger brother's family has a support from Yue's family, so they dare not make a fool of themselves.

Do you want to tell me how to separate the family in the future? I really don’t regret it. The Zhou family would not help me without the separation. Instead, it is hard to put pressure on the Jiang family to support Jiang Sheng in school, so I am not as comfortable now.

Jiang Sheng stayed at home to burn the fire to guard the house, and Xuemei followed him back to the Zhou family.

In the future, Jiang Sheng wanted to copy books at home, but Zhou Shuren was worried about taking the original book back and copying it. Jiang Sheng copied the first two books, and he and Rong Chuan copied the remaining two books. Jiang Sheng took them back to copy them by hand.

In the future, the children at home will read the manuscript, and Zhou Shuren originally wanted to seal it and keep it.

After having a good meal in the evening, the two children will go home with Xuemei tomorrow. After Xuemei's idea didn't work, the child would naturally take it back so that the sister-in-law would not have any objections and try not to cause trouble for her parents.

The next morning, Zhulan packed things for her eldest daughter. These days, the family's clothes, an old quilt, spicy cabbage and sausage made by Li, Zhulan also caught an egg-laying hen, and finally stuffed it to her eldest daughter two taels of silver slots.

Xuemei was eating and drinking at her parents' home, and she blushed when she got home, "Mom, I feel very guilty, don't give me money anymore."

Zhulan thought that all the mothers had problems with supplementing the child. She understood that Yang Jiake was particularly good at supplementing the original body. If she was not afraid of her son-in-law becoming lazy, she would still want to take more, "If you don't take it, you will dislike it less."

Xuemei's nose was sour, "Mom, you know that I didn't mean that."

Zhulan had a smile in her eyes, "Mom knows that she will only subsidize you this year. When Jiang Sheng gets into the scholar next year, will she not subsidize you?"

It’s a pity that unless Jiang Sheng became a scholar in the exam, there is still no subsidy for money and rice. Only the court will give money and subsidies for each year.

So I still need Zhou Shuren’s help!

Xuemei had confidence in her husband and knew that her mother had accepted the money with good intentions, "Thank you, mom."

Zhulan didn't send her eldest daughter's family back in person, so she asked the eldest and second son to give it to her. The grandchildren and granddaughter had raised their feelings. The two children cried, making Zhulan feel all over her heart. Jiang Du, who had a particularly sweet mouth, seemed to have fewer children, and she was not energetic and went back to lie down.

Zhou Shuren came in with the book and saw Zhulan’s eyes empty, so he leaned over and sat down, "I’m going to pack my luggage, let’s go to Pingzhou."

Zhulan was surprised, "Aren't you waiting for the first lunar month?"

Zhou Shuren said: "I won't wait anymore, it's hard to buy a shop after the first month of the year."

Zhulan was a little anxious. The rent of the shop was quite a lot of money per year. One shop was enough for the whole family to spend the whole year. If you save money, you can only make money by buying a shop. "I'll arrange it, let's leave tomorrow?"

Zhou Shuren smiled, "I will go to find the carriage and convoy tomorrow, and I will set off in one or two days."

Zhulan is not in a hurry, "Who are you planning to take except for the two of us when you go out this time?"

Zhou Shuren had already considered it, "I have to support my family if I am not with the boss, and I have to take care of Li's family. The second brother can fill the shortcomings of the boss. Chang Lian and Changzhi do not take care of them, and Rong Chuan cannot take care of them. Rong Chuan is not suitable for special purposes. This time we only take care of Xuehan himself, and we are also in case that we are not with the daughter and are thinking about Wang Ru."

Zhulan counts the time and buys a shop. It takes seven or eight days to go back and forth. If you don’t have time, you have to beat Li well. Don’t bet the tiger is not at home and the monkey is called the king.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren are activists. The next morning, Zhou Shuren went to the county to find the carriage and convoy to Pingzhou. He set off early the morning after tomorrow. The transportation hub of Pingzhou is not as rich as the south. Pingzhou is very stable. You don’t have to worry about safety when following the convoy.

Zhulan took out the grain for eight days at home and counted 100 copper coins for emergency use. Zhulan gave the silver to Li and the grain to Zhao.
