Although the affairs on the mother's side were basically over, Zheng Xiaoqin took up the responsibility again, so the noon meal was still very lively, and the focus became entertaining Lao Jiang's family.

Returning to their home at night, Jiang Xianjun and Zheng Xiaoqin finished washing and closed the door and windows. The young couple sat on the bed and counted the money in their wallets.

The couple were shocked when they saw the two heavy silver ingots inside.

"Oh my God, a whole ten taels of silver!" Zheng Xiaoqin touched the silver ingot on the bed and couldn't believe it.

"I have never seen so much silver in my life. They are all copper plates. It would be good to see a few broken pieces of silver throughout the year."

Listening to Zheng Xiaoqin's words, Jiang Xianjun just smiled bitterly.

"What can I do for good? Silver ingots like this are pleasing to look at and make people feel at ease."

Zheng Xiaoqin raised her head and smiled at Jiang Xianjun, holding the two silver ingots in her hand and said: "With this much money, we won't starve to death even if we do nothing for two years."

Jiang Xianjun nodded, "No matter what we do, we can't do nothing. We can't even hold back our wealth if we just sit back and take advantage of everything."

Zheng Xiaoqin smiled and nodded, "Of course we won't. I'm just happy. It's a bit exaggerated."

"It's already October now, and the Chinese New Year is coming in more than two months. Originally, I was worried about how we would prepare for the Chinese New Year. But now that I have these ten taels of silver, I am not worried at all. I feel at ease.

.”

Zheng Xiaoqin held the silver in her hand and lay in Jiang Xianjun's arms, thinking about the future.

First of all, things like eating, drinking, dressing and preparing for the New Year have been settled.

"This is the first time we have opened our doors to celebrate the New Year, and we have to make it a decent one. We have to prepare some bacon, salted fish, melons and fruits, snacks, etc., as well as new clothes for our daughter.

Gotta do it.”

"We also want filial piety gifts for your father. The old man has helped us a lot. By the way, there is also a gift for your uncle and aunt. We also have to bring two kilograms of wine to your uncle..."

Jiang Xianjun listened to Zheng Xiaoqin's calculations, which were almost all about Lao Jiang's family. He had to interrupt her and said, "Don't patronize me. We also want to give your parents' family a New Year's gift."

When this happened, the smile on Zheng Xiaoqin's face became a little dark, and she also turned over from Jiang Xianjun's arms and sat up, frowning, looking worried.

Jiang Xianjun stretched out his hand and gently stroked Zheng Xiaoqin's back, "All the unhappiness we had when we got married has passed. The gifts we should give and the filial piety we should show cannot be less than others."

Jiang Xianjun's words made Zheng Xiaoqin feel warm in her heart, but she still bit her lip and said angrily: "When I got married, I had a big fight with my two sisters-in-law, but they didn't give me any dowry.

They threw me two quilts and kicked me out."

"And at that time, we slapped the words on the table and let it go. We will no longer interact with each other no matter what happens in the future. Why should I give gifts to my parents' family? Why am I burning so much money?"

Jiang Xianjun smiled and said, "You can't say that. Although it was a bit tense at that time, after you gave birth to your daughter, your mother-in-law came to take care of you every now and then, and brought a lot of things one after another. Your two sisters-in-law must also have these things."

I know. So, your family still feels sorry for you in their hearts."

Zheng Xiaoqin became even more irritated when she mentioned this, "My parents love me, so I believe it because I am their daughter."

"But that won't work for my two sisters-in-law. There is no real affection between the sisters-in-law. It's just because of the face of my parents-in-law and brothers."

"Even so, when my mother came to see me and brought those eggs, I don't know how many looks she received from my two sisters-in-law, and how much they pushed her away!"

Every time Zheng Xiaoqin's mother comes over and asks about this, her mother always looks indifferent and tells Zheng Xiaoqin not to worry about her. She is a mother-in-law, and she can still take charge of small things like giving a few eggs to her daughter who is raising her children.

But Zheng Xiaoqin knew very well that her mother was in a dilemma.

So the last time the Luo family and the Yang family brought so many things, Zheng Xiaoqin insisted on counting twenty eggs and two pounds of brown sugar for her mother to take back to her nieces and nephews, so as to keep her sisters-in-law at bay.

Mouth.

"Precisely because my mother-in-law is supporting us despite the pressure from my sisters-in-law, we have a little more money, so naturally we have to repay the gift, not only to make it easier for my mother-in-law to do well at home, but also to save our face."

Zheng Xiaoqin thought carefully about Jiang Xianjun's words and felt that they made sense.

"Okay, it's all up to you."

The young couple collected the money properly and made some plans for the future.

It's just that Jiang Xianjun goes out to help others during the year and earns as much as he can. He also has to take care of the vegetables and wheat in the fields, so that there will be a harvest in early summer next year, and his family will not be short of what others have.

Use a few taels of your ten taels of silver to live on, and save the rest for emergencies.

That night, the young couple hugged each other and fell asleep, having the most solid sleep since they got married.

The next day Jiang Xianjun, Tianma Liang and Zheng Xiaoqin got up and cooked breakfast. After breakfast, the couple went out together.

Zheng Xiaoqin and her daughter went to Luo's house, while Jiang Xianjun went to town to buy some things.

At three o'clock in the day, Jiang Xianjun came back and bought a lot of things.

There are shredded tobacco for Lao Jiangtou, a knife of pork belly, soju for Jiang Da, and snacks for the Jiang family’s grandchildren.

In addition, they also tore out a few pieces of cloth, a few packages of snacks, and a big fat-headed fish, and sent them to Zhengjiacun without stopping before having lunch.

After all the busy work, it was already noon by the time Jiang Xianjun got home.

Zheng Xiaoqin was cooking lunch in the kitchen when she saw Jiang Xianjun come in. There were beads of sweat on his face, but he was in high spirits. It seemed that he had earned face with her parents' family this time.

Zheng Xiaoqin was also very happy, scooped out a ladle of rice soup and brought it to him, "Drink some of this first to support others."

Jiang Xianjun drank a few mouthfuls of rice soup, burped comfortably, and told Zheng Xiaoqin how he went to his mother-in-law's house to deliver things.

"...When I arrived at the gate of the yard, I heard the mother in the yard seeming to be scolding the two sisters-in-law. Listening to the voice, it seemed that the two sisters-in-law had said something about food or something, and the mother was lecturing them, saying that they were going to make trouble...

…I estimate that 80% of the time it’s because of our family’s troubles.”

"When she saw me coming in, my mother came over to greet me immediately. At first, the two sisters-in-law were in the room and they probably didn't see what I was holding. They only heard me coming. So when I was called into the main room by my mother, the sister-in-law

The sound of beating and scolding children came from the house again..."

Zheng Xiaoqin twitched the corner of her mouth, "Even a fool can tell that beating and scolding children at that time is intentional. The beating and scolding are for you and my mother. My sister-in-law never dares to say it in front of her face. She likes to do it behind her back.
