Chapter 220 The abacus is popping on the face

At this time, Zhao Lin looked at his mother.

Because of this, I don’t know either.

Zhao Lin doesn't want his son to live the same life as he does. His mother is the daughter of the Wu family. He would not go crazy if he married another girl from the Wu family.

Then he looked at his mother and said, "Mom, I am still young, there is no rush to get married."

Wu Xin slapped Zhao Lin on the head: "Such a good marriage, what else do you have to say."

Zhao Lin was also angry after being beaten: "Such a good marriage, why didn't you agree at the beginning of the year? Isn't it because my aunt's family is rich now? But these are my aunt's family, what does it have to do with us, just my snobbish uncle."

"Mom, you won't promise Qingmei that after she marries me, she can go to work with her cousin!"

"If not, do you think your uncle will still treat you well?"

Zhao Lin expressed his guess.

Looking at my disappointing mother.

The third aunt watched her son talk back to her like this.

It also became popular, and I did it for his own good: "So what? Even if I can't go to work, raising silkworms will earn me a good income."

Then he looked at the first and second wives and said, "Do you think I don't know the income from your silkworm rearing? I heard at the wedding banquet the other day that the silkworm cocoons cost thirty-five coins per pound. You must have earned at least ten taels of silver from your silkworm rearing. According to the rules of the Zhao family, you have to hand over half of it."

Then she looked at her husband and said, "Yuankun, you must have heard about the income from raising silkworms! You see, my eldest and second brothers raise silkworms by themselves, and never bring us with us, the third room. They simply don't treat us as their own family."

Zhao Yuankun also understood what was going on after hearing this.

I heard that a piece of paper can earn you three taels of silver a month.

I also asked about it at that time.

The number of my elder and second brothers is like two silkworms.

That’s just six taels of silver!

They only care about making money for themselves and don't care how hard their younger brother works digging in the mud.

At this time, my aunt Xu Mei couldn't stand it anymore.

"I'm telling you, if you raise silkworms, won't you feel uncomfortable here and there every day? Raising silkworms is very hard work. Can't you see it if you are blind?"

"That's right. A daughter-in-law like you will move back to her parents' home as soon as she has something to offer. You should raise her, or your parents should raise her! And look at Zhao Lin, you should keep your wages for yourself and not give them to your mother. If you give them to her, the wages will go into your uncle's pocket." The second aunt doesn't talk much.

I’m not as talkative as my eldest aunt, but seeing my third uncle being so shameless, I really couldn’t help it.

When the third aunt heard that the first and second wives were trying to sow discord among her own family, she wanted to reach out and grab the second aunt's face.

The second uncle quickly pulled his wife away.

He scolded, “Wu Xin, what are you doing?”

The third uncle watched his second brother yell at his wife and did not stop him.

The third uncle said: "Second brother——"

The two brothers of the eldest uncle who were on the verge of a fight frowned and said, "Everyone, sit down. No one is allowed to make a move."

Then he looked at his third brother.

After thinking it over again and again, he spoke: "Yuankun, after you got married, I have never interfered with your affairs. Because you have a family and can make decisions independently, there are many things that I feel are not something I, as the eldest brother, should say."

"But now that things have come to this, I have to say that whether you can listen to it or not is your business."

Then he looked at Zhao Lin and Zhao Mao, the two children of the third room: "The income of our three families is almost the same. Putting aside these two months, think back to the days before, compared with the children of our first and second rooms, what did your Zhao Lin and Zhao Mao wear?"

"Think about it again. Your eldest uncle's family has nothing to do, but their children are dressed better than yours. Have you ever wondered why?"

"You work so hard, but why don't your children live well? Isn't the purpose of working hard to make money to give our children a good life?"

After hearing this, my third uncle Zhao Yuankun fell into deep thought and carefully recalled the past days.

Indeed, compared with the children from the first and second wives, Zhao Lin and Zhao Mao from the third wife always wore tattered clothes and looked particularly shabby.

Although my brother-in-law and his family did not go out to work, the children were able to wear new clothes.

He couldn't help but think of the situation of his brother-in-law's family. They only did some farm work and had no other stable source of income.

But the children are doing better than their own children.

At this time, the third uncle Zhao Yuankun turned around and looked at his two sons seriously.

He found that Zhao Lin and Zhao Mao were both very thin and looked haggard.

It is in stark contrast to the children of my brother-in-law's family.

Thinking of this, my third uncle Zhao Yuankun felt even more depressed.

After hearing what my third aunt said, she also started to panic.

Then she looked at her husband and pulled his sleeve: "Yuankun, don't listen to their nonsense."

The third uncle glanced at Wu Xin and said, "Where's our family's money?"

Wu Xin said: "Of course I keep it there! I'm saving it for Zhao Lin to find a wife!"

"Go and show it to me." said my third uncle in a deep voice.

Because Wu Xin is beautiful, I have always liked her.

So over the years, I have always listened to her.

The money was also given to her for safekeeping and she never asked about it.

I didn't think there was any problem.

I just think it’s no big deal if she’s a little lazy.

But look at her expression at this moment.

There’s nothing else I don’t understand.

It's so heartbreaking. I don't think it's a big deal that she occasionally shows filial piety to her parents-in-law.

On the contrary, I think it's good that she is filial.

The results of it!

His Wu family is sucking my blood!

Zhao Yuankun spoke again: "How much is left? Take it out."

The third aunt's eyes were slightly red: "Yuankun, don't scare me like this, I'm scared."

Zhao Yuankun looked at Wu Xin's pitiful appearance and asked, "Not at all?"

Incredible: "Where's the money from clearing the river some time ago?"

Wu Xin just cried and didn't say anything.

Zhao Yuankun became even angrier.

He roared, "Don't you know how hard it is to clear the river? That's the hard-earned money of your son and me!"

Zhao Yuankun's roar startled everyone at the table.

But there are even more surprising people.

The third room actually has no money at all.

Everyone knows that the third wife has to take care of her parents' family, but no one thought she would do it so thoroughly.

"Yuankun, I'm just lending it to my sister-in-law and I will pay it back later." Wu Xin explained.

"Okay, then you go back to your parents' home and ask him to pay it back. If he can't pay it back, don't come back."

"How can that be possible! My brother and his family have no money at all right now, and my eldest nephew just got married."

"Your own son is getting married too, but you don't care about it, so you go and take care of your nephew's marriage."

"Didn't my sister-in-law promise Qingmei about Xiaolin's marriage?"

"You have given the money to others. Does Qingmei want a dowry when she marries you?" Zhao Yuankun questioned her.

"How can that be possible? My sister-in-law said that we don't need much, just five taels of silver. After the silkworms are sold in a few days, won't we have to hand over five taels of silver to the government? We can use it first, and then give the rest to the first and second wives!"

Zhao Xue listened to her third aunt's plan.

I'm really going to laugh out loud.

The abacus beads popped onto his face.

Zhao Yuankun finally realized what his wife looked like.

Raising your hand is a slap in the face.

"Snapped--!"
