Man Bao, who was standing in the room, was also a little dazed. She reacted belatedly and raised her hands guiltily: "Mom, Dad, I, I think I know why..."

Man Bao told Mr. Bai and others about sending them out to meet people, and then said: "It must have been said by Zhou Qi, dad and mom. At that time, there was only Zhou Qi outside, and he asked me too."

The couple was silent for a while, and Lao Zhou was so angry that he said, "This Sanqi is as talkative as his mother. He dares to spread rumors about me outside. I won't beat him if I look back."

Qian was no longer angry, but still glanced at him and said, "What's wrong with an uncle bullying his nephew?"

Man Bao gave her father an idea, "Dad, let fourth brother beat him!"

After thinking about it, I felt bad, so before Lao Zhoutou could speak, he added: "He is older than the fourth brother. The fourth brother will definitely not be able to beat him. Let the second brother and the third brother go too."

The brothers who are listening in the corner outside:...

Zhou Dalang got up, chased away his younger brothers, and then left himself.

Forget it, as long as parents don't quarrel.

The sudden loud voice and the looks made by the wives made the brothers worried, thinking that their parents were going to quarrel again.

Manbao, Wuyou Datou and others didn't know it, but their brothers knew it. Going forward, father and mother had many quarrels.

It was only after they had a grandson and my mother's health gradually deteriorated that the two of them stopped arguing.

The two people in the room did not quarrel after all. Man Bao wanted to slip away, but Qian stopped her and said, "Come here and help mother settle the accounts."

Man Bao then stepped forward with a smile. She loved counting money the most.

Seeing her happy look, Mr. Qian couldn't help but reach out and touch her little head. Then he saw her hair tied askew, and couldn't help but ask, "Did you tie your hair yourself?"

Man Bao nodded.

Mrs. Qian sighed and said, "In two days, let Da Ya and Er Ya teach you how to tie your hair. You are a little girl now and you have to learn how to tie your hair. Come on, first tell me how much money our family earned during this trip."

?”

Man Bao had already made the calculation and said, "I earned a total of one hundred and twenty taels, with a balance of three hundred and forty taels."

Qian touched the money and sighed, "Who would have thought that twenty acres of winter wheat in one season could earn so much money?"

Old Zhou finally remembered, "It was more than that. Why did you let Dalang and the others resist taking away three bags of wheat? If you sell those three bags, it would be a lot more money."

"Always leave some for relatives and friends," Mrs. Qian said: "In the future, when the in-laws come to exchange for wheat seeds, will you give them to them or not? My natal family has given them to me, so is it okay not to give them to other families?"

"But you only have so much wheat seeds left. Are you going to plant them at home if you give them to us?" Mrs. Qian knew that he was reluctant to part with them, so she asked her sons to move the wheat away in advance, and then locked the door so that her daughter-in-law could not block it.

In front of the door, she didn't believe he dared to move it.

Old Zhoutou was really reluctant to part with it and muttered: "One hundred and fifty coppers per dou."

Qian couldn't help but pinched him and said, "Is that about money? I'm a fellow villager or a relative. You never know when you'll need help from someone in the future. Besides, she's your daughter-in-law.

She is also my daughter."

She pointed at Manbao and said, "Think about Xi and Manbao. If you don't give it to them, will they have the honor to go back to their parents' home in the future?"

"If a person's heart is not happy, his life will be unhappy. As long as one member of the family makes trouble, the family will not be able to live in peace. I think you will be able to live by counting your money then?"

Lao Zhoutou wanted to say that he could, but under his wife's gaze, he did not dare to say so.

Man Bao nodded repeatedly at the side and whispered in support of her mother, "Dad, what if my eldest sister and I have good seeds at my in-laws' house in the future, and you come to ask me and ask for them, but neither I nor my eldest sister will give them to you?"

"

Lao Zhou raised his eyebrows, Qian's eye knife flew towards him again, and his words were stuck in his throat.

Qian lowered his head and looked at Man Bao again. He liked her as much as he liked. He touched her little face and said with a smile: "I thought, it's useless to keep so much money in our hands. Let's just give some to the children."

."

"What?" Lao Zhoutou's attention was immediately diverted, and he glared: "What are you doing when you separate?"

"Give them money," Qian said matter-of-factly: "The eldest, second, third, and fourth are all fathers. They have children and they are not allowed to spend money? So give some to them."

"They have money in their hands, do they need us to share it?" Lao Zhoutou said: "Although I don't care about the accounts, I also know that they have money in their hands, including Lao Wu and Lao Liu, and even a few small ones.

There’s money there.”

He looked at Man Bao, "Man Bao, right?"

He had plundered the money of the five and six elders more than once, and he had long known that their large sums of money were kept at Manbao, and the younger ones also kept their money in order not to be seized by their parents.

From Man Bao's place.

Before Man Bao could answer, Qian interrupted him and said, "You don't care whether they have money or not. It's useless for us to keep so much money with us. By the way, I was about to tell you that now that my family has money, we have to

Say goodbye to the fifth child."

This old Zhoutou had no objection, and even mentioned something better, "If you want to be better, it doesn't matter if the betrothal gift is higher."

But he still objected to dividing the money among his sons.

But the money in the family has always been held by Qian, and it is basically Qian who has the final say on how to use it. Well, although she will discuss it with him before using it, she has been used to it for many years, and Qian obviously has the final say.

Above Lao Zhoutou.

She said: "They don't have as much money as you think. Starting from May last year, the money earned by the second brother from setting up a stall in the county town has to be handed over. Even the money from selling bamboo weaving was given to me. The second brother didn't earn much."

Money. The school is gone, and the family has no extra income. As for the little ginger that the third, fourth, and Xi planted, they will pay 60% of the money first, and then the children will share one share, how much can they get?

?”

Lao Zhoutou was silent.

"Only the fourth child has a child. There will be a lot of things to buy for the child in the future," Ms. Qian advised.

Lao Zhoutou couldn't help but said: "That's why I don't want to give him the money. That guy doesn't know how to exercise restraint. You have to save money to have it, you know?"

Man Bao couldn't help but interrupt again, "Dad, my friend said that money comes from spending. The more you spend, the richer you will be."

"Fart, which of your friends said that? Don't be friends with such people, or they will teach you a bad lesson."

Keke: ...I didn’t say it, it was the information you humans entered in the encyclopedia. Host, please don’t accuse me wrongly.

The reason why Lao Zhoutou was able to support a large family and even let them survive two natural disasters was because of saving money.

Normally, it is a small thing, but it is only during natural disasters that we feel confident. During times of disaster, it is a big thing. We just want to stay alive, not to have enough to eat. Generally, we can continue to live after a year and a half.
