During dinner, there were three more people, Chu Youwen and his son, and it felt much livelier all of a sudden.

The family's staple food is still black noodle steamed bread, and the dishes are boiled cabbage and a large plate of vegetarian fried lettuce. The men's table has an extra fish and a plate of pork belly, while the women's table only has a small bowl of pork belly without fish.

The pork belly in the bowl is about three fingers wide and one finger thick. It looks like a pork belly. It is simply mixed with garlic leaves and stir-fried. It smells very fragrant. After everyone sat down, Mrs. Du brought the meat bowl to share the meat with everyone. The old man first

Everyone’s second Ya Chu Jiao’er and Fourth Ya Chu Yan’er, then the second Ya’s third Ya Chu Tian’er and Qi Ya Chu Meng’er, then the sixth Ya Chu Lian’er from the fifth family’s family. Each person has a piece of meat and a bowl.

There were only three pieces of meat and some garlic leaves left in it.

Mrs. Ye eagerly watched Mrs. Du's actions. She had been waiting to share the meat with her daughter. She felt painful in her heart but did not dare to speak. She saw Mrs. Du first put a piece into her own bowl, and put the remaining two pieces into Chu Baofeng's bowl.

Steak. Next, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhu from the fifth family put their chopsticks into the bowl and divided up the garlic leaves with the smell of pork.

Chu Baofeng picked up a piece of meat and ate it in small bites. She looked at Chu Congrong proudly, stretched out her tongue and deliberately licked the lard that overflowed from the corner of her mouth, with a look of ridicule on her face.

Chu Congrong snorted, stood up and walked to the men's table. Silang, Eighth Lang, and Jiulang each had meat in their hands and were eating happily. Mr. Chu and Chu Youwen, father and son, were chatting. Their respective rice bowls also contained meat, but only

There is no meat in Du Liu Lang and Qi Lang's bowl.

At this time, there was only half a bowl of meat left on the table. The twins were salivating looking at the meat bowl, but they did not dare to reach out.

I saw Chu Congrong stretched out his chopsticks, quickly took a piece of meat for the twins, and also took a piece for himself, and said: "Liu Lang Qi Lang, why don't you eat meat? If word spread, I will be laughed at, I thought

I treat you two great-grandchildren harshly!"

Rokuro and Shichiro said thank you, lowered their heads in unison, stuffed the piece of meat into their mouths, and chewed it deliciously.

Chu Youwen slammed his chopsticks onto the table and yelled, "You're so uneducated! How did the third child teach you!"

Chu Yongjun stood up, stretched out his palm and slapped Chu Congrong's face hard. Chu Congrong was already on guard, and took a step back. Chu Yongjun immediately slapped the air. When he wanted to continue to slap, Chu Congrong looked at him and shouted loudly.

He said: "Brother Erlang, do you want to kill your sister for a piece of meat?"

Chu Yongjun had always been accustomed to being arrogant. He never expected that the other party would challenge him. He immediately wanted to take action, but Chu Shijun stopped him.

Chu Congrong found that she was making such a fuss and her words were so coherent that she even forgot to cough, so she said to Chu Youwen: "Uncle, the rules of big families are like this. Aren't Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi my grandsons? They are young, aren't they?

If you dare to pick up meat, I, as a sister, will pick it up for them. Otherwise, if outsiders find out, they will definitely laugh at you."

Chu Youwen was deeply stimulated by her words. What kind of legitimate son and grandson are you mocking yourself for being a concubine, born to your aunt? Who has not known that he is the eldest son of Chu for more than thirty years, how can he say that he is a legitimate concubine. However,

For a while, he didn't know how to fight back against this stinky girl.

"Men and women are seated separately, go back to your table!" Chu Youwen paused for a long time, waved his hand and shouted angrily.

"There are no outsiders here. We are all members of the same family. Men and women sit at different tables. My uncle has read poetry and books, so why should he be so angry at my niece?" Chu Congrong responded calmly.

Suddenly, there was a burning pain in her shoulder, but Chu Baofeng attacked her from behind and hit her with two chopsticks!

"I'll beat you to death, you uneducated bitch. Even my eldest brother dares to contradict you. You're really no big deal!"

The baby is so angry that he can't defend himself from the front but from behind. Chu Congrong is helpless. Surrounded by a pack of wolves, it's hard for a tiger to defeat him.

Thinking that he was weak and the men on his side were not at home, and that the timid and cowardly Ye family and the skinny twins would definitely not be able to gain any advantage, Chu Congrong suppressed the violent thoughts in his heart.

"Oh my wife, it's true that my uncle is the elder, but it's also true that my father is my legitimate son. There is no doubt that Liu Lang and Qi Lang are his legitimate grandsons! These three cardinal guides and five permanent members, and the distinction between legitimate concubines and concubines are the cornerstone of our country's governance in the Ning Dynasty. Our Chu family is

I come from a scholarly family, so I know people well. I just discussed the matter based on the matter and did not deliberately contradict my uncle!"

Before anyone could refute, Chu Congrong said to Chu Baofeng seriously: "Auntie, you have to be careful. You are going to marry into a rich family and become a young mistress. If you don't understand the rules, it will spread to your future husband's family, but

You will suffer a big loss!"

Damn it, I'll take note of this, and I'll settle the score with you later.

"You're talking nonsense. When did I not understand the rules..."

Chu Baofeng nervously defended her for a few words and then stopped, wondering why this damn girl had become so sharp-tongued.

"Wu Ya, you damn girl, you can just help Liu Lang and Qi Lang with him, why are you trying to grab something from this man?" Mrs. Chen saw that her husband and sister-in-law had both suffered a loss, so she immediately stood up to help.

Meat has always been eaten by the old man and his husband-in-law's son. When will it be this bitch's turn? If this damn girl eats a piece of meat, won't my husband's son lose a piece of it?

"Auntie, didn't you see that the little grandma forgot to share the meat with me? All the sisters have their share, but I don't have a share. Do you want to make the little grandma have the reputation of bullying your granddaughter?" Chu Congrong responded confidently.

"You damn girl, can you speak? What a little grandma, you damn girl's filial piety has been eaten by dogs! You want to rebel! Third brother and sister, don't you discipline me? Do you want to piss me off to death?"

Mrs. Wang also stood up. Her mother-in-law promised to help her son find a way out, so she must support her unconditionally. When will it be the third family's turn to speak out?

"It is out of filial piety that I honor her as little grandma instead of calling her old aunt! My grandma is the eldest grandma, but it's a pity that she passed away early. Second Auntie, if you can't read, don't talk nonsense, so as not to make people laugh."

Chu Congrong felt that her energy was limited, and Mrs. Du's face was already red with anger. She didn't want to pester her too much, so she said softly to Mr. Chu: "Master, I haven't been at home since I was six years old. What I said was learned in the Li Mansion.

The rules of a wealthy family. If there is anything wrong, wait until my father comes back and learn from him. If you have anything to teach your granddaughter, she will definitely listen carefully."

Mr. Chu was so angry that he couldn't express his anger. This girl kept coming up with rules and ethics. He didn't understand it clearly for a while. He couldn't admit that he didn't understand the rules, so he didn't follow them.

He waved his hand and scolded in a low voice: "You have eaten the meat too. Get over there and eat your food. You are so young that you are making a fool of yourself!"

Chu Congrong said yes gracefully, then walked back to her seat gracefully, and started eating slowly. Ye, who was shaking nervously, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the others had their own concerns, they saw Mr. Chu's voice but his tone was quite unpleasant, so they did not dare to push forward any more, and just lowered their heads to eat. Veins popped up on Mrs. Du's face, and she shook her chopsticks hard with a snort, then stood up and went back.

Go to the room.

Chu Baofeng glanced at Chu Congrong unkindly, got up and chased after him.

Chu Congrong ate his meal slowly as if nothing had happened.

The dinner ended quickly in an awkward atmosphere. Mr. Chu called the eldest and second eldest son to discuss the money matter with Mrs. Du.

Mrs. Du was very angry. When she heard that it cost thirty taels, she immediately shouted that she had no money.

"I have managed to save sixty-seven taels of spare money over the past six months, but how can I get thirty taels!"

Mr. Chu coughed and said: "This year, the eldest brother, the eldest son and the second son of the eldest son, all three of them died at the same time. This is a great event for our Chu family. As long as one of them can win a talent, he will be the only one in Longguwo Village to be able to shine."

! If we can win more, it will be a great joy for our ancestors! Therefore, we have to collect the money even if we don’t have it. Let’s talk about it and come up with a solution together.”

Chu Youwen said: "Dad is right, I will strictly supervise Da Lang and Er Lang to review their books day and night, and strive to pass the college examination in one fell swoop. My mother and my second brother have to worry about money matters."

Mrs. Du spread her hands and said: "Money, money, money. Last month, Laowu store had no money to purchase goods, so I ran back and asked for three taels. Now I can only take out eight taels at most. If you have any ideas, you can think of it yourself."

The second child, Chu Youyong, who had been silent for a long time, said in a low voice: "There is not much leisure work in the town now, and I don't make much money. I have no choice."

Chu Youyong worked in the fields at home when he was busy. In his spare time, there was not much work in the fields. It was enough to have the original owner's father, Chu Youde, his fourth son, Chu Youde, and the original owner's brother, Sanlang Chu Yingjun. He mostly went to the town to do business.

Earn money doing odd jobs.

Several people were chattering away, but they couldn't talk about Chou Yinmao, so they just sat back and waited for Mr. Chu to speak.

"We only have eight taels now, so let's find a way to sell grain. At this time, there is not much left in the family, so let's sell summer grain in advance. The combined output of the thirty acres of land will leave enough for the family to eat autumn grain. The extra part will be cheaper.

It can be sold for fifteen taels, and the rest will be left to the family of the elder, the second, and the fifth to find a way to collect two taels for each room. If it doesn't work, they will go back to their parents' homes to borrow them! In the end, there is still one tael missing, and the three of them, the eldest father and his son, have arrived.

Let the county save some flowers."

Mr. Chu came up with what he thought was the best method.

"You damn old man, when you eat meat, you have the share of the third wife, but when it comes to collecting money, why can't you remember the third wife! Is it possible that only the third child is your biological child, and the eldest, second child, and fifth child are not your children!"

Ever since Chu Congrong's soft words had ripped her heart out, Mrs. Du had been filled with anger, and now she was even more so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"Didn't the third son and Sanlang get 600 coins for serving in the army? Ye's family is so poor that they can't take the blame. What can they do?" Mr. Chu shook his head and said.

"We have to find a way even if we have no other choice, unless we are not a family! We only need to eat hard food and ignore things at home. There is no such good thing in the world!" Mrs. Du was so excited that she slapped the kang surface with her hands.

Why is that damn girl's life so tough? The six taels of silver she got were just gone, otherwise there would be no need to worry now.

"Mom, didn't you say that bitch can be exchanged for six taels?" Chu Baofeng heard the whole family in the back room frowning and helpless, so she ran out and interrupted.

"Damn it, why don't you give her a life?" Mrs. Du felt very sorry. She couldn't let me kill her.

"Hee hee, mother doesn't have to worry, she can still live in exchange for money! Mother comes forward to find a family to marry her, and the bride price should be at least five taels." Chu Baofeng suggested.

"Wu Ya is only twelve years old, and she has just been seriously ill. Why should she marry her?" Mr. Chu shook his head, not really agreeing.

"Dad, Wuya couldn't die even after being saved by the doctor. It shows that her life is really tough. There are so many people rushing to get married to this kind of girl, but she is so popular. What my sister said is a good idea."

Chu Youwen retorted.

This method is good, it can solve several taels in one go, and you don’t need to collect it from several houses.

"Old man, if you marry that girl, you will at least get a few taels more. If we all run out of money, this is a guarantee. If they can raise it, we can sell less grain!" Mrs. Du frowned and sold the money.

Killing the girl is definitely a good idea.

My daughter is smart, and her ideas are brilliant. That damn girl should have been sold out sooner rather than later, and she would still be hurting herself if she stayed at home.
