    "They didn't regard my father as a son at all. Otherwise, they wouldn't have kicked our family out after my father's leg was broken. Later, they teamed up with Li Jiarong to sell me to the Yu family. They just didn't like us." Li Jing  Wen said bitterly.

    "Jingwen, stop talking, let's go back." Mrs. Liu shook her head silently and pulled Li Jingwen back home.

    "It's true that good intentions are not rewarded. I gave them something and made such a request. It would be better not to give it to them." Along the way, Mrs. Liu kept talking about Wu and Li Li's faults.

    "Mom, don't be angry. You already know what they are. It's useless for you to be angry. Just pay less attention to them in the future." Li Jingwen shook her head and said, "When you go back, tell dad about grandma and sister-in-law's request. Watch him  How to say."

    "Well, let him see how shameless his mother and sister are." Mrs. Liu nodded, "Your father is a soft-hearted man. Li Mei didn't give your grandparents any gifts when they got engaged. The two old men came to him to complain.  The eldest brother was unfilial and told how pitiful he was, which made your father's heart soften and he almost gave away the family's money to them."

    "Mom, you have to check this matter. You must not open this hole, otherwise it will happen again. Soon, our house will become their cash machine." Li Jingwen warned, she knew  How greedy and selfish those two old guys are.

    "I know that I won't let your father meet them alone in the future." Mrs. Liu thought that all the money in the family was in her own hands, otherwise, she didn't know how much money they would have defrauded.

    "Is Li Mei engaged? When did it happen?" Li Jingwen didn't hear Li Mei mention the marriage when she was at home, so why did she suddenly get engaged?

    "I don't know what means they used, but they suddenly got engaged on the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month. The man was the eldest son of the Hong family in the county. I heard that the eldest son Hong was admitted as a scholar at the age of sixteen and his grades were very good. Two years later,  It is very likely that you will get the top spot in the provincial examination, and your uncle and aunt will be extremely proud."

    "No one is at home in the main house today. Li Mei is not at home getting married. Where has she gone?"

    "You should go to the county town to buy a dowry. I heard that the Hong family gave a dowry gift of 500 taels. Your uncle wanted to keep half of it to subsidize the family, but Li Mei refused, saying that the dowry was too small for fear that her husband's family would look down upon her after entering the house. She planned to use 2 taels as a betrothal gift.  One hundred taels of silver will be used to buy paddy fields and take them to my husband¡¯s family, one hundred taels of silver will be used to buy other dowries, and one hundred taels of silver will be placed at the bottom of the box, leaving one hundred taels of silver for the family.¡±

    "Li Mei is quite scheming. She must have told her uncle and the others to wait until she has established a firm foothold in the Hong family before supporting her mother's family. Otherwise, her uncle and her mother-in-law will not be able to listen to her arrangements." Li Jingwen guessed that Li Jiarong and his wife were both  For those who love money as much as they live, it would be great if they can give away half of this much money.

    "Indeed, your uncle originally wanted to leave half of his money to buy a small yard in the county and move the family back to the county. But Li Mei firmly disagreed, saying that her father could not find a job in the county and had to rely on family income.  A few acres of land would definitely not be enough to support a large family, so she asked her father to find a job in Qingniu Town. Although the wages were low, they could live at home with a vegetable garden in the backyard, and at least they could grow their own vegetables." Ms. Liu  Nod.

    "She was afraid that her parents would not be too lazy to sleep with her after they went to the county town, which would make her life in the Hong family difficult." Li Jingwen thought to herself that she knew her parents quite well.

    "What she said makes sense. Your uncle and the others have rented out all the land, but they still have enough food to eat. If they grow some vegetables in the backyard, feed a few chickens, and raise a pig, they usually only need to buy some meat to eat. The expenses are  Much less." Mrs. Liu thinks Li Jiarong's idea is too ridiculous. How can any family live on a married daughter?

    "There are two other students in their family. Erbao's education in Qingniu Town costs less, but it costs at least ten taels of silver a year. Dabao is in the county school, and has to pay for food and accommodation, as well as socializing with his classmates.  , buy books, pens, inks, paper and inkstones. If you don¡¯t have twenty or thirty taels of silver a year, you can¡¯t afford land. How can you make enough with the rent of six acres of land?¡± Li Jingwen said with a sneer.

    In the past, the family had more than 30 acres of farmland. Her father and fourth uncle would do part-time work when they had time, and her mother would do embroidery and stitching. Every penny had to be handed over to the Wu family.  With two pigs and thirty chickens, Wu would go to Qingniu Town to sell eggs every ten days. At the end of the year, she sold pigs and chickens, and most of the money went into Dafang's pocket.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Now there are no second and fourth wives to support them, and the family property has been divided thinly. They do not want to work themselves. If they do not rely on their son-in-law¡¯s family, how can they send their two sons to study?

    "But the Hong family's money didn't come from the strong wind. How could they take it if they want it?" Mrs. Liu thought their plan would not work. "Young Master Hong is just an eldest young man. He has grandparents and parents.  He has younger brothers and sisters, but he is not a family member. No matter how much he cares about Li Mei, he cannot take them away.I use the money here to support my parents-in-law.  "

    "What mother said is that unless their family is separated, Li Mei and Young Master Hong can be the masters of the family, and it is possible to subsidize them occasionally." Li Jingwen thought to herself that the Hong family is not really a big family, unlike those aristocratic families.  , there is plenty of money, it doesn¡¯t matter how many people you support.

    Of course, it is impossible for a wealthy family to marry a girl from a small family like Li Mei. Even if she reaches a high position, she will not be able to stand upright in her husband's family, let alone desperately subsidize her family, unless she has the ability to make money, or her  The man has a high enough status and is willing to support her and support her natal family.

    "Let's not talk about them anymore. We have all broken up with Dafang. Whether they are good or bad has nothing to do with us."

    "Mom is right, we just need to live our own lives."

    The next day, Li Jingwen went up the mountain early in the morning. She was very lucky that day. Not only did she meet a group of wild sheep, but after collecting the wild sheep, she also encountered a herd of sika deer. She collected a few deer into the mountain.  In the space, he then headed back home. When he was almost at the foot of the mountain, he took out a large bundle of orange saplings dug by Doudou and carried them down the mountain.

    "Miss, I'm here." When I was almost at the foot of the mountain, I saw Dali walking up the mountain in a hurry. When he saw her, he shouted loudly and waved his arms to her, for fear that she wouldn't see her.  "Miss, you must be tired. Give me the saplings quickly."

    Li Jingwen put the sapling down, Dali carried her back and followed him down the mountain: "Dali, have you dug the hole for planting the tree?"

    "Today, the Fourth Master took me, Daniu, and Liqiu to dig a hole. The title deed for the wasteland behind was obtained. The Master and Lidong led others to dig the foundation. Uncle Xu went to buy bricks and said he would start building a fence tomorrow and build a sheep pen later.  .¡±

    "Miss, I'm going back to plant trees first. You walk slowly." Dali bumped the saplings upwards and walked quickly down the mountain. He planted all the trees while it was still dark, so as not to leave them to survive tomorrow.  Lower, this is what the eldest lady of their family has worked hard to carry out from the mountains.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
