"Two taels of silver a year, plus one hundred catties of grain, is the most in our village. Zhu Chengyong, does your family also give you this much?" The village chief originally didn't want to care about these things, because every time it was Zhu Chengdong and his family who made mischief.

"Uncle Village Chief, we also give so much. During the holidays, if we cook something good at home, we will bring it to my parents. My second brother and my second younger brother and sister are really filial. Don't listen to the nonsense of my third brother's family.

"As the eldest son of the family, Zhu Chengyong is also very helpless at the moment.

Over the years since they separated, the two elders have been living with the third one, and they have used all the money to support them.

"Brother, you are not being kind. What nonsense are you talking about? Now, take a look at the second brother's family. Have you given so many delicious foods to your parents? How can you give these one thousand taels of silver to your parents and two hundred taels?

It won't work." Madam Zhu San is just acting rogue.

"That's right, eldest brother, you favor the second brother and accuse me, the younger brother. Why can't I feel sorry for you?" Zhu Chengdong said unhappily.

"That's enough! Don't make trouble for me. I told you that we don't have any money. I'll send some meat to my parents later." The grandpa of the Zhu family said sadly.

The chickens and ducks delivered by shopkeeper Hu yesterday are being raised, and the meat is hung in the stove for smoking. The best pork belly is the most suitable for bacon. The weather is getting colder, so don’t worry about spoilage!

"Second brother, we want two hundred taels because we want to buy two good birthday gifts. In the past, you brothers had no money, and the birthday gifts prepared by your parents were less than ten taels. Now that you have money, you can't bear to spend it on your parents, right?"

"With two good longevity materials, your mother and I can live to be ninety-nine. You must get this money." Grandpa Zhu's crutch tapped the ground.

The older he got, the more he feared death, so the younger son said that if he prepared good longevity materials, he would live a long life, and he was immediately convinced.

Once these words came out, they were really more useful than any other words. Everyone in the village felt that they should pay this money.

"Mom and Dad, Yuanji owed money in Fucheng, and people from the bank came to collect the debt. We had to sell the wild ginseng, and the money was used to pay off the debt. Now I only have a total of twenty taels of silver. This is what the children will spend next year.

Money for studying." Grandpa Zhu told lies without changing his face.

If you say you don't have a penny, no one will believe it. Twenty taels is more than most people in the village. This is the most appropriate thing.

As for lying to everyone, he has no guilt at all. For the sake of his children and grandchildren, he is willing to accept any punishment from God.

"Yes! If you don't believe it, go to the bank in Fucheng and ask. Li Datou, you are slandering and inciting us to make our seventy-year-old man suffer. You must be responsible. Otherwise, we will go to the county government to sue you, my second brother.

, let your eldest brother write the petition." Grandma of the Zhu family grabbed Li Datou and refused to let go.

She didn't believe that people in the village ate melons, so she actually went to the Hu Family Bank in Fucheng to ask.

"Mom, I'm going right away." Zhu Yuansheng honestly wanted to go out immediately.

The village chief quickly grabbed him and said, "No, no, no, we all live in the same village. I asked Li Datou to apologize, so don't be angry again."

"Our ancestors have lived here for generations, who has dug thousands of years old wild ginseng? This is nonsense." Zhu Chengyong helped the second brother to talk. This matter was brought about by the third brother who wanted to take advantage.

"What the eldest brother of the Zhu family said makes sense. You are the most blessed among the elderly in our village. You can't let the eldest brother and the second brother's heart fall for your youngest son." Ge Mazi, a good old man in the village, couldn't help but persuade.

"Village Chief, please let go of me. If my parents say we will sue, we will definitely sue." Zhu Yuansheng said again at the right time.

Zhu Yuanxing immediately shouted, "Second brother, I'll get the steamed buns, and we'll go to the county government together."

It takes more than an hour to walk from home to the county government office, so I have to bring something to eat.

"Wait a minute, don't go! I was wrong. I didn't see much money, but I saw the bank manager delivering something." Li Datou quickly admitted his mistake.

"You made one mistake, and this matter is over? You made our family a mess, and it also hurt my parents, the village chief, and everyone else." The grandma of the Zhu family looked at Li Datou and refused to subdue him this time.

He will come to cause trouble next time.

"Then what do you think we should do? It's not me who said the thousand taels, it's them spreading rumors. What does it have to do with me?" Li Datou expressed his dissatisfaction. He had already apologized, so what else could he do?

"Compensate, we don't want this money, so we will give it to my parents." Grandma of the Zhu family said generously.

After hearing this, the eyes of Zhu Chengdong and his wife really lit up, "Li Datou, my second sister-in-law is right, my parents are over seventy, and they got up from the bed just because of your nonsense and sat here blowing the cold wind. You must

Be responsible."

The village chief came out to be the peacemaker, and in the end Li Datou lost a chicken and two taels of silver.

The grandma of the Zhu family took out the meat and gave half to her parents-in-law, and the matter was over.

There has always been this rule in the village. When the sons cook meat, they have to bring a bowl to the elders to eat. The meat is not cooked, but if it is cooked, the grandma of the Zhu family will definitely have someone bring it to her.

The people in the village drooled with envy. Such a big piece of meat, or else Yuan Ji Niang is capable, knows medical skills, and knows herbal medicine.

This life is better than that of others. If there were no children studying, their family would be able to build at least ten large brick houses.

"Brother, please wait a moment." The grandma of the Zhu family wanted to cut some meat for her eldest brother.

"No, brothers and sisters, no need. I'm going back first." Zhu Chengyong waved his hand immediately. He is an honest man and never takes advantage.

The grandma of the Zhu family looked at her eldest brother's back and glared at the grandpa of the Zhu family, "Your third brother's virtue is something he is accustomed to. You two elder brothers have always tolerated this bad habit."

"Yes, yes, it's all our fault. Old lady, please don't be angry. The children are watching." Grandpa Zhu pointed at the children on the window.

With several little heads together, Zhu Qianqian was picked up by her eldest brother. She clapped with both hands, "Mistress, you are the general of our family."

"Silly boy, come out quickly! What are you two doing standing around? Why don't you go and burn the rabbit? I'm waiting to eat it." The grandma of the Zhu family glared at the two daughters-in-law.

"Mom, I'll go right away." Tian Hehua immediately started cooking.

"Milk, I'm here, I'm here!" As soon as Zhu Qianqian heard the sound of oil boiling in the pot, she immediately got off her brother and ran to the kitchen.

"Mom, our Qianqian must have come up with another good idea." Chen Baimei immediately flattered her. As long as she praised Qianqian, her mother-in-law's face would improve.

Sure enough, when she heard this, the grandma of the Zhu family laughed and said, "Second daughter-in-law, wait for Qianqian to say."

"Second Aunt, first soak the rabbit meat, milk, and some of your dried mushrooms, blanch the meat in water, stir-fry the sugar color, then add the rabbit meat, wait for it to color, then add the chili, onion, and garlic and stir-fry quickly, then add

Stew the mushrooms, reduce the juice over high heat, and sprinkle with chopped green onion." Zhu Qianqian recited the recipe.
