Chapter 39: The selfish desire echoes, the son takes the place of the mother!
When they got home, everyone hadn't eaten at all after being busy all afternoon.
It’s too late to cook meat now.
Shen Qian shouted towards Wang Miaomiao's thatched hut:
"Miaomiao!"
"Make a pot of corn soup."
"Have dinner with your brothers and go to bed early."
"I'm a little tired, I'm going back to sleep first."
After she finished speaking, Shen Qian locked the meat and went straight back to her room with the silver.
Take out the box where you save money and count it carefully.
A long sigh.
25 taels and 6 qian, all silver.
There are still eleven copper coins, which are not enough to buy anything.
When the time comes, I'll put the copper coins in this box. Shen Qian thought as the silver moved to a new storage location.
Looking at the pastries in the cabinet, he took out two pieces and stuffed them into his mouth.
After eating, he drank a sip of water and then lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
As famine is imminent, you must keep your body in the best possible condition!
......
After Wang Miaomiao was called out by Shen Qian, her eyes became gloomy.
I'm not happy about anything I see! I feel angry even when I step on the ground.
Seeing this, Wang You and Wang Liang shifted their gaze away from Wang Miaomiao and looked outside the yard.
They were afraid that Wang Miaomiao would vent her bad temper on them.
Wang Wu was so frightened by Wang Miaomiao's temper that he hid in his own little house.
Enter the kitchen.
Wang Miaomiao looked at the rice jar full of rice and angrily shoveled out several bowls of corn.
While pouring the corn into the pot, he muttered:
"Break up my marriage."
"I'll let you save, I'll let you save!"
"Pour it all into the pot!"
He gnashed his teeth and looked as if he wanted to tear Shen Qian to pieces.
Outside the kitchen.
Wang You and Wang Liang sat together and whispered:
"Who offended the second sister again?"
"Could it be that my second sister found out what that boy shouted this afternoon?" Wang Liang responded in a low voice, shocked.
"That can't be? Hasn't my second sister been to the big locust tree in the south of the village for a long time?" Wang You scratched his head and expressed his feelings.
"What else could possibly have caused Second Sister to be so angry?" Wang Liangxin confidently analyzed:
"My second sister didn't go under the big locust tree before. I think it was because my mother came to her house to reason with her, and made her feel embarrassed to go under the big locust tree again."
"It seems that my mother is very thoughtful!" Wang You said, and suddenly felt a heavy breathing coming from behind him.
He was so scared that he turned around quickly.
After seeing my second sister, I was so frightened that I almost jumped up.
"Second...Second sister!"
When Wang Liang heard Wang You's exclamation, he quickly made a gesture to silence her:
"Shh!"
"Second sister is in the kitchen!"
"I can hear you! Stop being so loud!"
As he spoke, he felt someone poking him in the back.
"Stop it, Fifth Brother!" Wang Liang shouted, gently slapping the hand away.
But the moment he took the photo, he felt something was wrong.
There is a big difference between the hands of a rough man doing farm work and the hands of a woman working in the kitchen!
Especially for someone like Wang Miaomiao, who has only done housework since childhood and has never done any farm work, the difference is even greater.
The frightened Wang Liang slowly turned his head.
When his eyes met Wang Miaomiao's, a chill broke out from the bottom of his heart!
Only Wang Miaomiao's voice rang in his ears:
"I said..."
"Wang You, Wang Liang!"
"You're so brave! You've already learned to talk about me behind my back?"
As she spoke, Wang Miaomiao had already grabbed the two men's ears with her hands.
Spin in circles vigorously.
In order to relieve the pain, Wang You and Wang Liang turned their bodies in the direction of Wang Miaomiao's hand.
"Hey! Hey hey hey! Second sister, let go!"
"It hurts! My ear is going to fall off!"
As the two men pleaded for mercy, the fourth brother and his wife quietly hid aside and watched the fun.
After Wang Miaomiao let the two go, the fourth brother and his wife instantly regained their serious look, as if they had undergone professional training.
"Call the third brother over here."
"And big brother." Wang Miaomiao said to Wang You and Wang Liang.
Seeing this, the two men felt as if they had been pardoned.
Soon the eldest brother Wang Qingliu and the third brother Wang Wu were called out.
One of them looked confused, and the other was timid.
"Second sister, what's wrong?" Wang Qingliu asked in confusion.
He heard the screams coming from outside the door just now.
"Brother." Wang Miaomiao called softly with a lingering haze in her eyes.
When everyone sat around the table, tears could not stop flowing down their cheeks:
"Mother, you insulted Old Lady Lin today, and completely destroyed my chances of being with Sanlang of the Lin family."
"I hate it so much!"
"If it weren't for A-niang, if it weren't for A-niang calling the matchmaker to come to the Lin family to inquire about the situation, and then taking the initiative to come to the door after being rejected..."
"When Sanlang of the Lin family goes to high school and his mother passes away, he will definitely marry me!"
"Now, because of my mother's interference, Lin Jia Sanlang is completely unwilling to marry me!"
Wang Miaomiao blamed all of this on Shen Qian.
I never thought...that Lin Ze changed his mind!
When Wang Wu, Wang You and Wang Liang heard this, their eyes dimmed.
Because the family had just bought the cow, matchmakers were everywhere, clearly trying to find a partner for them.
But my mother seemed to have forgotten them.
As a result, with the coming of famine, it is difficult to even get food, let alone find a wife.
After sobbing for a while, Wang Miaomiao suddenly raised her head and looked at her eldest brother Wang Qingliu:
"Big brother!"
"If it weren't for your mother's pressure on you to be filial, you would probably still be studying in the county school today, and you would definitely be able to pass the imperial examination next year."
"Now you're tied to your mother, copying books every day. Not only do you have to earn money for exams, but you also have to pay money to the public school every month. You have no time to study. Do you still have the confidence to pass the college entrance examination next year?"
Listening to Wang Miaomiao's deafening question, Wang Qingliu felt a different emotion hitting deep in his heart.
Are you sure about...high school entrance exam?
After copying books for more than ten days, he even forgot to read the lecture notes.
Some of the lecture contents that were previously clear in my mind have become blurry again.
"No..." Wang Qingliu's eyes were dull and he uttered a word dully.
At this moment, he seemed like a puppet without a soul.
Four words kept popping up in my mind: Can’t get into high school!
"So...Brother, are you willing?" Wang Miaomiao's question that went straight to the depths of his soul came into his ears again.
Pull Wang Qingliu out of the abyss an inch.
"I'm not willing to accept this." Wang Qingliu kept repeating these three words as if he was possessed by a demon.
Because he couldn't pass the imperial examination, he couldn't marry a woman from a wealthy family. His life ambitions couldn't be realized, which made him more miserable than if he were killed!
Seeing that her eldest brother had gone crazy, Wang Miaomiao swept her eyes over the third and fourth brothers and their couple, the fifth and sixth brothers, the twins, and the seventh brother.
First, I asked Wang Wu, Wang You, and Wang Liang:
"Do you want to get married?"
"I want to!" When Wang Wu heard this question, he answered without thinking.
Wang You and Wang Liang also nodded repeatedly.
Their biggest wish at the moment is to marry a wife and have a happy home like the fourth brother Wang Tianci!
Seeing the eagerness in their eyes, Wang Miaomiao felt relieved and asked Wang Tianci and his wife:
"Do you want to be looked upon with respect and treated as a guest of honor every time you return to your father-in-law's house?"
"Of course!" Wang Tianci clenched his fists and answered with extraordinary firmness without waiting for his wife Liu.
He will always remember the feeling of being treated with courtesy and honored as a guest of honor by his father-in-law. It was the most glorious moment of his life!
Finally, Wang Miaomiao turned her gaze to the youngest, Xiaoqi.
asked:
"So, would you like to raise more livestock at home?"
"I want to!" Xiaoqi's sweet voice sounded.
Seeing that everyone responded to their own 'selfish desires'.
Wang Miaomiao wiped the tears from her eyes and expressed her thoughts firmly:
"Then let me take charge of the family and replace mother!"
