Brother Zhao thought about it and said, "But he's already living in a good house."
Fourth sister-in-law Zhao pouted: "What's the use of living in a good house? I heard from third sister-in-law that their family eats pickled vegetable sticks and corn paste every day, and her stomach is sour from eating, so it's a good house to live in. What's the use!"
"At least they still live in a new house, don't you eat pickle sticks if you don't live in a new house?" Brother Zhao said unhurriedly.
The angry fourth sister-in-law Zhao gave him a hard look, and suddenly remembered something serious: "Go and save the money tomorrow, and you will die! Now that the autumn is over, my mother will definitely come. If you know that rabbits are so valuable, why don't you?" !"
Brother Zhao heard that this is the big deal. He still remembers that two years ago when his mother-in-law came to borrow money, and when he said no, the mother-in-law started rummaging through things, and finally took a pot and a piece of clothing and left. He was so angry that he just wanted to scold his mother. Fourth sister-in-law Zhao even cried on the kang, but there was nothing she could do.
Thinking about it now, it still hurts. After all, there is nothing at home. If the money is stolen again, how will their lives be?
No, don't do it tomorrow, let's save it now!
"Now? It's so late today, when will you come back?" Mrs. Zhao was a little worried.
"It's okay!" Brother Zhao left.
"You go to his uncle's to borrow a bicycle, and hurry up!" Mrs. Zhao shouted and urged.
"Got it!" Brother Zhao left without looking back.
Fourth Brother Zhao was very prescient, and the mother-in-law came the next day.
Sister-in-law Zhao's mother is in her fifties, but she looks like seventy, thin and dark, with high cheekbones, thin lips, deep eye sockets, and cloudy eyes.
She was wearing a blue-gray jacket, black trousers, homemade shoes on her feet, and a bag in her hand. Her hands were thick and rough, dark brown, and seemed to never be washed clean.
"Mom, why are you here?" Sisao Zhao was not happy when she saw her mother coming, but was very disturbed, wondering what the old woman would search for her again this time.
Sisao Zhao's mother looked at her daughter, um, she was fatter, and she looked good, and then she looked at her huggable, red lips, white teeth, and fat, which meant that her life was going well, and she immediately smiled.
"When you have a baby, why does mother have to come and see you? I'll bring you some millet. This is fresh rice that your father crushed yesterday." Mrs. Zhao Sisao's mother entered the house and took the bag in her hand. Put it down and go to the kang: "Where is her father?"
"He went to gather firewood." Mrs. Zhao Si poured water for the old lady: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about it."
"You are the meat that fell from my body, how can I not miss it!" Zhao Sisao's mother said very nicely.
Mrs. Zhao Si was not moved at all. She had heard this from as long as she could remember. After listening to it for so many years, she had already gotten tired of it. The key point was that she was not at all like the meat that fell from the old lady's body. It was not her that she was thinking about, but her things. .
However, the sisters and the six old mothers treat each other like this. They only care about things and not people.
The two mothers chatted a few words that were not nutritious, and Zhao Sisao's mother began to talk about business.
"I heard that you have made a fortune selling rabbits in the mountains?" Mrs. Zhao Sisao's mother stared at her daughter closely: "Have you raised rabbits too? How much did you sell them for?"
Sisao Zhao's heart immediately rose, but she pretended to be casual and said: "We only raised a few, and we still paid on credit, and sold them to pay off the debt."
"Pay the bill?" Zhao Sisao's mother's sunken eyes immediately widened: "Didn't you credit your brother-in-law's rabbit? What will happen after two years?"
Sisao Zhao sighed: "Don't mention it, her uncle owed a lot of debts because of building the house. At that time, our village bought rabbits from him on credit. Now that he sells the rabbits and doesn't pay him back, how can he pay for the famine."
Mrs. Zhao Sisao's mother looked in disbelief: "Why does the house owe so much money! The fourth old man in our village, the old couple didn't spend a penny to build the house, they just piled it up with mud, and they lived in the same way. It doesn't look worse than your house."
Sisao Zhao curled her lips, thinking, can a house made of mud be compared with that decent house? It was nothing but a shack!
But she knew that the old lady might never have seen a good house, so she couldn't figure it out.
"Mother, is my father doing well?" Mrs. Zhao changed the subject.
Zhao Sisao's mother snorted, "You don't have to guard against me like a thief, do you think I'm here to ask you for rabbit money? Then you're wrong!"
Sisao Zhao was very surprised, she didn't come here for money, the sun came out from the west, but she was even more disturbed, not for money but for something, she didn't believe it was to see her.
Sister-in-law Zhao's mother sighed: "That's what happened, isn't your village singing big plays and showing movies? Does Xiaohong know?"
"Which Xiaohong?" Sisao Zhao was so nervous that she couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
"It's the child of your aunt in Sunjiacun." Zhao Sisao's mother reminded her dissatisfied.
Sisao Zhao was stunned and nodded again and again: "I see, what's wrong with Xiaohong?"
"She and her mother came to listen to the play for two days. They think your village is really good, and there are many young children. Xiaohong is seventeen this year, and it's time to find her husband's house. Knowing that you are from this village, ask me to ask. Asking if you are suitable, I thought, Xiaohong will be your companion when she gets married." Zhao Sisao's mother said.
Like singing operas and showing movies in the countryside, other villages come, mostly young people. If they come and go, many people will be attracted to them. As long as they are unmarried and have a decent life at home, their parents are willing to help them.
It's just that you can't come forward directly. If you can't do it, it will be very embarrassing. You will find a middleman to match the match. Some are matchmakers, and some are relatives of relatives.
Sisao Zhao became interested when she heard that, as long as the old lady didn't come to search for her things, she could do anything else.
"There are many suitable ones, big and small, it depends on what kind of one she is looking for." Mrs. Zhao said.
"Just look for it according to your uncle." Zhao Sisao's mother was straightforward.
"What? Her uncle?" Mrs. Zhao froze for a moment.
"Yeah, your aunt met your uncle, and she fell in love immediately, but Xiaohong is too young, and your uncle is married again, so she just wonders if there is someone who is similar to your uncle, who can live a life, don't be too old , don¡¯t pick anything else.¡± Zhao Sisao¡¯s mother said.
Sisao Zhao smiled: "Able to live? My little uncle is not very able to live. Didn't I say that he owed a lot of debt to build a house."
However, Mrs. Zhao Sisao's mother snorted: "You said that because you were afraid that I would ask for money, and you thought I didn't know? Your brother-in-law is smart at first glance, how can you be so stupid to build a house because of famine?"
"Mother, you are wrong. My uncle really caused the famine to build a house. Not only him, but some young people in our village are also causing the famine. They either raise rabbits or buy houses. I have to make this clear , don¡¯t hide it from my aunt.¡± (Remember this site¡¯s website: www.hlnovel.com
