61. Daily Life of the Peasant Family During the Imperial Examination (6)

Regarding Duan Qingen's decision to take the Tongsheng exam, Grandpa Duan and Grandma Duan directly regarded it as the biggest and most important thing for the whole family at present.

No one in the Duan family expressed any objection.

In this era, if a farmer wants to live a good life, he can either do business or study and take the imperial examination.

Doing business is easier for them to do. Being a peddler is also considered doing business, and selling stinky tofu is also doing business. Anyway, as long as they can make money, it's fine.

But even if the business is big, if you offend a small official, you will still go bankrupt. If the other party is a little more ruthless, confiscating the property and exiling is not just talk.

But if you pass the imperial examination, whether it is a Tongsheng Xiucai or a Juren, or even a Jinshi, which is even more unthinkable, for an ordinary family, it is a direct rise to the top and become a phoenix.

As long as you become an official, even if you do nothing, you can live a very happy life just by relying on the salary given by the court and the filial piety of the people below.

And the most important thing is the power in your hands.

If you want someone to live, then live; if you want someone to die, then die.

Of course, Grandpa Duan and Grandma Duan didn't think that far ahead. They just simply thought that if Duan Qingen could pass the exam, their entire Duan family would be able to move up a level.

So they were like the parents of those college entrance examination candidates in the future. They carefully served their children, fearing that they would be hungry or tired. They did everything in a low voice and didn't dare to disturb their children's review.

They did everything they could just to get good grades for their children.

The Duan family was similar. When the county exam was approaching, Grandma Duan started serving chicken soup.

You have to know that even if their family had made money before and had meat on the table, chickens were the main livestock in the family and would not be killed easily.

If Duan Qingen's intelligence had not been noticed by them during this period, and he had studied hard, Grandpa Duan had learned from Mr. Lin that if Duan Qingen passed the examination at such a young age, he would definitely be famous and beneficial to his future career, he would not have asked Grandma Duan to kill a chicken for her grandson.

After all, when Duan Qingen was sick before, Grandma Duan just secretly gave him eggs to eat.

Of course, she is not sneaky now.

She and the old man worked hard every day to earn money for the family, so that the sons and daughters-in-law below could live a good life together. The chicken was only a few dollars, and she could kill it if she wanted to. Who dared to object? If anyone dared, don't eat the chicken!

Yes, because the chicken couldn't be kept for long in this weather, Grandma Duan simply counted the days and ate one chicken for two days.

The Duan family had a lot of mouths, so naturally they could eat it all.

Before every meal, she would first pick out the chicken thighs and chicken hearts, the parts with less bones and more meat, and give them to Duan Qingen first, and the rest could be eaten by the whole family.

Who dared to disobey, and held it in.

If it weren't for Qingen, they wouldn't be able to eat this stewed chicken.

The one who benefited was their son, so Duan's father and mother certainly wouldn't have any objections. They would eat when their parents asked them to, and work after dinner.

The second room was also honest, and they all ate in a proper manner.

Aunt Duan herself was quite honest. Since Mr. Lin came back, all four children in the family went to school. Except for Duan Qingen, the other three all complained bitterly.

After all, they were all wild children running around the mountains and fields before, and it was unbearable for them to start studying hard all of a sudden.

Even if Mr. Lin specially gave these three children a special class and taught them how to recognize words, they couldn't stand the hardship of learning.

But it was useless to come back and suffer. If they dared to yell that they didn't want to learn, grandma would just hit them with a big stick and scold them for not knowing how to enjoy life. Grandpa didn't hit them, but he would say that it was okay not to learn, and they would not eat the meat at home in the future, and the meat would only be eaten by obedient children.

For the three children who just felt how happy it was to eat meat every day, this threat was worse than being beaten directly.

So no matter how miserable they were, they still had to go to school with sad faces.

And in the miserable time every day, the only happy thing left was to teach their parents what they learned in school during the day.

Seeing their parents, who usually had to teach them when they were not happy, sitting in front of them and learning to read, and being taught by grandparents when they didn't recognize well, these children were sincerely happy.

Duan's father and mother were also in pain and happy.

Because his son was going to take an exam, he really couldn't spare the time, so he first taught Li Baojun, who had a more flexible brain and could remember everything after less than one teaching. Then Li Baojun taught Duan's father and mother.

The two felt that they were educated people after learning to read, but they also struggled to learn to read with their own dull brains.

If they were dull brains, Duan's aunt was a little better than the others.

Anyway, she was better than the others in the Duan family, but not much better.

In the past, when she was free, she would gossip with the women in the village, talking about the family affairs of the east and west. Anyway, there was no gossip that they couldn't talk about.

But now that she was free, she could only find a sandy place and write the words she learned that day on the ground with branches.

Since Duan Qingen volunteered, he would recite a sentence in the yard every morning. Most of the meaning in it was about the principles of life. Duan's family would move benches and sit in the yard to listen to Duan Qingen reading in the morning.

Although she couldn't understand the words, Aunt Duan could understand them because her nephew would explain what he had just recited after reciting them.

After listening to them so many times, Zhao He had no time to gossip anymore, and her mind was full of great truths.

Although she felt bitter, Aunt Duan sometimes felt superior when she saw those women in the village gossiping and spitting all over the place.

They didn't know what etiquette was.

They didn't know that they couldn't talk about people behind their backs.

She was happy, but her family was not happy.

Before, Aunt Duan took that method back and told her family that they could buy their own tiger bone powder at a cheap price, and then sell it at the original price to make money, and her family was quite happy.

As a result, because some people were afraid of being cheated, they would rather travel thousands of miles to Duan's village to buy the "real thing", so Aunt Duan's family didn't make so much money for such a long time.

And if they went to the county and the city to sell, they were afraid that they would invest too much in the early stage and couldn't get it back.

Look at Huang Wu, didn't he sit there for a few days before his business started to boom?

Because the Duan family said before that it was best not to sell them all together, and Uncle Duan's family really couldn't bear to lose face.

After all, Huang Wu was a well-known scoundrel in the village before. He was shameless. It was okay if people didn't provoke him, but if they did, he would definitely retaliate.

For example, one year someone provoked Huang Wu, and that was before he got married. He was wrongly accused of stealing things and was scolded. Huang Wu didn't say anything at the time, but less than two days later, the family found that one of their chickens was missing.

Later, they made a fuss and insisted that Huang Wu did it, but Huang Wu was very stubborn and said that I didn't steal it, so it happened that your family had wrongly accused me of stealing money before, so why don't we go to the government office and let the officials take a good look at who stole the money.

After that, he opened his mouth and directly revealed the fact that the son of this family secretly went to the county to gamble, and ended up losing all his pants in the gambling.

At this point, the family looked like they didn't dare to go to the government office, and the villagers understood that the money was stolen by the son of this family.

Later, it was not until someone who was good friends with Huang Wu invited him to drink that they found out that he didn't steal the chicken, but he caught a weasel and threw it directly into the chicken coop of that family.

After this matter was spread, the family didn't dare to say anything. After all, they were in the wrong. This was the way it was in the village. They wronged Huang Wu first, so he was right to retaliate.

Such a person, even if they were related, Duan Dabo Niang's family didn't dare to provoke.

And the remaining few in-laws were selling at home like them. Even if they wanted to learn from them, they couldn't learn anything.

After searching around, Duan Dabo Niang's family set their sights on the Duan family.

Thinking that this relative was good and had a good temper, and that he had just started a profitable business, and that he was not waiting for these relatives to open their mouths to give them money, they went to ask for help on behalf of their daughter, and maybe they could get the Duan family to help them.

Even if they couldn't help, the 18 coins might be able to be reduced.

So after searching like this, someone came from Duan's aunt's family.

It was her mother, Chen.

Chen had a son and a daughter. Although she loved Duan's aunt's daughter, she didn't love her daughter as much as Grandma Duan Qingen did. She didn't think about paying attention to herself, and came to the Duan family directly at dinner time.

She also thought that the Duan family had risen anyway, and since they didn't mind sharing money with these relatives, they certainly didn't mind letting her eat for a meal. If she came to the Duan family for this meal, wouldn't it save the family a meal?

Grandma Duan was distributing chicken, and when she saw Chen coming outside, her face fell.

She was unhappy.

Everyone in the village knows that you can't come at mealtime. It's not easy for everyone to make money. You come at mealtime just to get a free meal, right?

Her own daughter Xinghua knows that she can't come back at mealtime, but she just hangs around outside for so long and comes after dinner.

This Chen is just a relative, why does she come to get a free meal from the Duan family?

Moreover, Xinghua knows to take things when she returns to her parents' home. She Chen is just a relative, but she comes to get a free meal without taking anything.

The Duan family gave them such a big benefit a while ago, but they didn't even give them a thank-you gift.

In fact, Grandma Duan also knows that the method is just an unexpected income for her daughter-in-law's family, and it is impossible to make much money.

Didn't you see that the other two daughters-in-law's families also thanked but didn't take a thank-you gift?

But they didn't come to get a free meal on purpose.

If you don't want to spend money, you can take some wild vegetables. You don't know any rules.

She was full of dissatisfaction with her in-laws who broke the rules, so she naturally couldn't treat them well. So when Chen chatted with her daughter and sat comfortably at the Duan family's dining table, she found that Grandma Duan served her rice and chicken, but looking around, she and her daughter had the least meat on the table.

Looking again, the one with the most meat on the table was not Grandpa Duan, the head of the family, but Duan Qingen, a little kid.

Chen was confused and subtly dissatisfied, but she was asking for help, so she couldn't say much. The family hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and it was old hen meat. When the smell entered her nose, she didn't care to say anything and just buried her head in eating.

After eating, Uncle Duan happily took her mother into the house, "Mom, why are you here? Do you miss me?"

Although she is already the mother of two children, she looks like she is back to her childhood when facing her own mother. The smile on her face is huge and she is extremely excited: "Don't worry, I am living a good life. I am happy every day." I can read and write, and my relationship with my husband has improved a lot, but his literacy is not as good as mine."

Because Uncle Duan learned the best among all the sons and daughters-in-law, Grandma Duan never hesitated to praise her. Even at the suggestion of Duan Qingen, a good grandson, she took the exam once every three days. The three children took the exam together, and several adults We take the exam together, Duan Qingen sets out the questions and marks the papers, and whoever gets the best score will get an egg.

Raw or cooked, it is up to the winner to choose.

Uncle Duan's brain is smarter than her peers, and she is filial. She feels that her life is better now, but her parents' family is still suffering, so she has to lay eggs every time she gets them, and save them to bring to her parents' family.

Unexpectedly, before she had saved enough, Mrs. Chen came.

These days, she has been walking with the realization that "I am indeed the smartest person". When she sees her mother coming, she can't wait to show off.

As soon as he squatted down, he took out the egg basket placed under the bed and showed it to Mrs. Chen: "Here, this is what I saved to bring to you. I have the most for the whole family. I also said half of it is enough." The basket will be sent over. You happen to be here, so I’ll take it back later.”

Mrs. Chen looked at her daughter who was holding the basket and smiling happily, but she was not moved at all. Instead, she said with hatred: "You are still silly and happy. It's just a few eggs and you are so happy. You didn't notice just now." Why did your mother-in-law squeeze on our mother and daughter at the dinner table?"

"Run?"

Uncle Duan was stunned, "Where is the rush? Isn't it normal?"

“Everywhere is crowded!”

Ms. Chen stood up and said, "When we were eating just now, the whole family ate chicken. Only the two of us had the least in our bowls. Your eldest nephew even had more chicken than us!"

"Oh, you're talking about this. Our family eats in separate portions. Whoever eats gets the number. Mom, you are my mother. My mother-in-law probably gave you half of my share."

Mrs. Chen was stunned, she didn't expect this just now.

But soon she remembered how bored she had been at the dinner table just now, and how she still wanted to eat chicken after finishing it, but there was nothing in the bowl. She could only watch the others eating happily:

"Then I am your biological mother. You have given birth to two fat grandsons for the Duan family. They are both sensible and obedient. Why can't you serve me a bowl of chicken? Why do I, the in-laws, have to eat my daughter's food when my in-laws come? That’s right, your family has made so much money, and yet you’re still so fussy about it.”

Uncle Duan waved her hands, not paying much attention, and her words sounded like a mother-in-law making a fuss: "What's the matter? My mother-in-law is like that. Even if my second and third sister-in-law's parents came, she would definitely So much."

"And the chicken comes in portions. We have to eat it for two days. Today happens to be the second day. My mother-in-law can't find another bowl for you."

All the angry words she spoke were blocked by her own daughter, and Mrs. Chen became even more angry, "Why can't it be done? Look at your eldest nephew, what's his name? Qing'en, the chicken in his bowl is piled high , they say they are divided equally, but I don’t think so, I don’t know how much more he has than you.”

As she said that, she pushed her daughter and lowered her voice: "You are the eldest daughter-in-law. Logically speaking, most of your family's property should go to the eldest family. Don't let the third family take advantage."

"They say that the eldest grandson and the youngest son are the lifeblood of an old man. I think your eldest grandson is quite favored. He looks good and has a sweet mouth. Don't coax your father-in-law and mother-in-law into taking away the family property. It’s all given to him. Since the whole family is sharing the chicken, why should we give this kid an extra portion? You need to make trouble with your mother-in-law, so that she knows that you are not someone to be bullied, you know.”

"Also, what's going on with these eggs? Didn't your family make a lot of money? Why are there still so few eggs for you? Big girl, don't let your mother-in-law coax you into it. I think she The boy from the third room is so attentive, and you may be subsidizing them a lot behind the scenes, but you are stupid, and you are having fun with such an idea. "

Uncle Duan looked at her mother who was whispering to her like a thief, and thought of the gossiping women she had seen in the village these days.

In this way, Mrs. Chen is just as sarcastic as those women.

She was filled with joy to see her mother-in-law's family, but her mother's various words made her want to guard against her parents-in-law. The smile on her face gradually fell.

"Mom, please stop talking. My father-in-law and mother-in-law originally earned the money at home. They all save it for their grandchildren. Besides, Qing En is about to take an exam, so I gave him more chicken."

"And this egg."

Uncle Duan pushed the egg forward, "This egg is a reward from my parents-in-law, because I am the best at reading and no one else has it."

"Come on, they still want you to study? If a woman is not talented, she has no moral knowledge. If you study well, I don't know what you are like. Even if you are really lucky, you will be rewarded if you study well. Such an idea. I have the nerve to take it out, but I have to give it to you no matter what. Your family has a great cause. "

Following Chen's various criticisms, the last trace of excitement on Mrs. Duan's face disappeared.

She studied hard and became literate, but her whole family praised her.

Especially my mother-in-law, she said that she was so smart that she would be able to learn arithmetic and other things in the future, and it would be easy to manage the housekeeper.

The two sisters-in-law below also looked at her taking the eggs with envious eyes.

At that moment, she didn't know how proud she was.

Didn't she work so hard these days to save these eggs just to make her parents' life better? As a result, her mother poured a bucket of cold water on her.

Not as good as her mother-in-law.

"Mom, forget it if you don't want it. I'll save it for my two boys."

They have worked hard in studying and should make up for it.

"Who said I don't want it anymore?" Mrs. Chen snatched the basket over as soon as she heard it, and stretched out her hand to pull it twice with a bit of disgust: "Your nephew is thin and small, he should strengthen his body. Although he has few eggs, A little bit, but enough to last for a while.”

"But it's okay. Don't you have that reward? Just take it. Big girl, you are the only one who stands out in our family. Your sister-in-law gave birth to a son a while ago. It just so happens that I am here today. "How about you get some more eggs in advance, and I'll put together a basket and bring it back to your sister-in-law to make up for it."

Uncle Duan said nothing.

If she felt sorry for her parents in the past, she would naturally do whatever they asked her to do, but now, she studies so hard and has to work and study every day to earn so many eggs. It’s not easy, she dear My mother actually had no intention of praising her at all.

Looking at the whole village, which married daughter can bring eggs to her parents' family.

Not to mention this small half basket, even four or five can still be taken.

But when it came to her own mother, she started to dislike him.

This is her reward! !

Outside in the yard, Grandma Duan was holding a kitchen knife, sharpening it on the whetstone with a gloomy look on her face.

Duan Qingen was taking his three cousins ​​for a walk in the yard to eat while they were taking tests. As he was taking the test, the youngest cousin couldn't help but shrink his neck and looked straight at the kitchen next to the kitchen. Grandma Duan;

"Brother, look at the breasts. They look really scary."

He looked over and saw Grandma Duan's murderous sharpening knife.

It's really scary to look at it like that.

Duan Qingen simply gave the book to his three cousins ​​and let them read it for a while, then wandered to Grandma Duan.

"Milk."

The clear and sweet voice of her good grandson brought Grandma Duan back from her wandering thoughts. She suddenly came back to her senses, her expression quickly changed to a kind one, and her face was so smiling that wrinkles squeezed together: "Huh? What's wrong?"

"Are you unhappy?" Duan Qingen asked.

Grandma Duan put the kitchen knife aside and waved her hand: "It's okay, it's just your aunt. I guess she will make trouble with me again after my mother leaves."

Duan Qingen knew what she meant.

In the past, Uncle Duan of the Duan family was the one who danced the most sincerely. Anyway, she was everywhere. If the benefits were not for the big family, she would be the first to disagree.

Although Grandma Duan would suppress her every time she made such a fuss, it was still quite annoying when she did it frequently.

Grandma Duan didn't expect her beloved grandson to help her with any ideas. She just wanted to complain: "You said that your aunt is so good at reading, but her brain has not improved at all. Every time she Even when I go to my parents’ house, she always makes trouble with me, and I don’t even think about the consequences of her making trouble other than making me dislike her even more.”

"She always complains that I am partial, and wants to send the good things she saves to her parents' family. If her parents' family is really good to her daughter, I won't say anything more, but look at her mother, They all come here to eat, and now who is willing to let others eat, she is not afraid that her front foot will be full and she will leave, and I will vent my anger on her daughter on the back foot. "

Duan Qingen saw that Grandma Duan was getting more and more angry as she talked, so she quickly ran forward and beat her back with his fist, "Grandma, you don't know how. I know, Grandma, you look fierce, but you are actually a kind person."

Grandma Duan straightened her back without any guilt: "No, it's just because I'm a good person."

"Look at the eggs she got before, she didn't give any of them to your two cousins. She saved them all to keep for her parents' family. She treats her parents' family with all her heart and soul, and doesn't care how her parents' family treats her!"

Duan Qingen: "No matter how kind my aunt was to my mother-in-law before, I'm afraid that from today on, she will never be the same again."

"Huh? Why?"

"When we were eating just now, I looked at her and kept looking at the chicken in my bowl. Logically speaking, no one in the village is rich now, except for our family. She was reluctant to drink egg soup, let alone chicken. But she looked like Not satisfied with the chicken he got."

"Bah!" Grandma Duan exploded when she heard this: "She still has the face to be dissatisfied. If I hadn't watched your aunt give birth to your two brothers in our family, I would have driven her away with a big broom. Out! Whose in-laws are like her and come over in a hurry for dinner. It’s good if I’m willing to give her chicken. She has the nerve to be dissatisfied. Last time your Aunt Xinghua came over, she just hung out for so long. I’m too embarrassed to come in during dinner, why is she so shameless!”

Seeing that the old lady was agitated, Duan Qingen quickly stabilized her.

"Milk, please don't get excited. Listen to me. I mean, her family probably can't have chicken every day like ours, but she is still like this. It shows that she thinks our family is getting rich. , shouldn’t only give her such a small benefit.”

"I won't give her any benefits. Next time she comes, I'll kick her out with a stick!!"

Duan Qingen pulled the old lady to sit on the bench and calmed her down: "Don't be angry first, listen to me first. I mean, since she is not even satisfied with chicken, uncle Those eggs my mother saved must not be able to get into her eyes."

"These days, my aunt's test scores are much higher than those of my uncles and aunts. You have been exaggerating my aunt's intelligence. Do you think this is enough for a mother-in-law like you? Our whole family is envious of my aunt's ability to get eggs. If But her own mother can't stand these eggs. Can the aunt feel comfortable? "

Grandma Duan snorted: "It's right to feel uncomfortable. Her natal family didn't take her seriously at all. Look, before, they were just provoking a few words. Now that our family has grown up, they don't care about your uncle at all." I wonder if my mother will have any influence at home. I just want to take advantage."

"In the past, my uncle might not have been able to understand it, but now that she has read and learned about etiquette, how could she not understand how her mother-in-law treats her?"

What Duan Qingen didn't say was that a person who was praised and admired by everyone in her husband's family was despised and despised when she arrived at her husband's family. She was successful in her work. In her heart, she could still stick to her family's talent as before. Strange.

He is not a cheap person, but he wants to please those who are not good to him.

In the past, Uncle Duan was able to maintain friendship with her mother-in-law, firstly because she was too good at dancing, and Grandma Duan looked down on her, so she scolded her frequently at home, making her feel that she was not liked by her mother-in-law, and Uncle Duan was just a busy worker. He is a rough man. He is very tired during the day. He has no time to listen to his wife to talk and cultivate feelings. He goes to sleep as soon as the quilt is covered. At this time, Chen is willing to listen to her complaints and condemn her mother-in-law with her. She was very grateful.

Second, the Duan family had no money before. Even if Chen wanted to take advantage, he had no place to take advantage. Naturally, he would not take advantage as much as he does now.

However, now, Uncle Duan has found confidence in her sister-in-law. Grandma Duan, who used to be at odds with her, is also busy making money and taking care of Duan Qing'en, who is about to take the exam. She has no time to mess with her, and occasionally praises her for being smart.

Her husband, who had not communicated much before, had to take her with her to memorize Chinese words every night before going to bed because of the fact that the whole family was studying together. The husband and wife hugged each other and studied in the dark, as close as they wanted.

All her needs were met, and she no longer complained as before.

Just like in the past, she didn't get along well with her mother-in-law and felt that life in her husband's family was not good. At this time, Mrs. Chen helped scold her, and she felt that her mother-in-law was good and knew both cold and hot.

As a result, now, she is living a good life, her mother-in-law treats her well, and she is living a very happy life in her husband's family. Just as she is enjoying herself, Mrs. Chen comes out and scolds her, saying that your mother-in-law treats you badly, what a mess you are living in her husband's family. Nowadays, it is naturally impossible for her to regard her mother's family as her closest relatives like before.

Not only will they not be regarded as the closest relatives, but they will also feel unhappy in their hearts.

Isn't this a good thing for me? I thought it was quite satisfying, but you turned out to be disgusted with it.

Duan Qingen only made a brief guess and then took a thorough look.

He then told Grandma Duan: "She will come out in a while. Just go forward and entertain her warmly. You only regard her as my aunt's mother-in-law. You are my eldest uncle's mother-in-law, so you must treat her well."

Grandma Duan was not happy: "I even entertained her, but I wanted to kick her out directly, eat my food, and take advantage of my family. Before I said anything, she started to dislike it."

"Hey, grandma, if you want your family and everything to be prosperous, you're right to do what I said."

Duan Qingen rubbed her back again and again, "People say that no matter how close a mother-in-law is, she never has a biological mother, but I see that the eldest uncle's biological mother is closer to the son of the family. If you treat the eldest uncle's mother better than her own mother, After kissing her, won’t she stop listening to her parents’ instigation and causing chaos in the family?”

Although she was still reluctant, the little grandson's hand tapping on her back also knocked out the anger in Grandma Duan's heart.

Also, if she can really coax the eldest daughter-in-law to come over, it will be their Duan family who will benefit.

The eldest daughter-in-law is not a bad person and has a smart mind. She just believes too much in what her mother-in-law says. She used to say slanderous words and confront her. The whole family is very busy during this period and there is no time for her to go back to her mother-in-law. Isn’t she normal? Not a lot?

If they were completely separated, wouldn't she get better and better?

Grandma Duan was convinced. In the room, Mrs. Chen was still holding half a basket of eggs and belittling: "Your family also takes your eldest nephew too seriously. He is so young and he is still a child student. Even I know how difficult the exam is for such scholars. Many people have grandchildren at home and have not passed the Tongsheng exam. How can a child like yours pass it? "

Uncle Duan was already unhappy.

Grandpa Duan often told them at the dinner table that if Duan Qingen was admitted to the Tongsheng School, the whole family would benefit. Not to mention how much dignity they, the adults, would have when they went out. Duan Qingen's three younger brothers alone were more handsome than before. It's better to find a marriage.

And if he has the ability to pass the Tongsheng examination, wouldn't the three boys below also be able to improve their reading ability by virtue of the fact that he has to teach his brothers with books from time to time?

Moreover, they adults are also studying and learning to read. Only after they read it themselves did they realize how difficult this thing is and how powerful Duan Qingen is. If her mother belittles Duan Qingen, isn't she just belittling herself?

After all, she was her mother, so Aunt Duan endured her dissatisfaction and spoke out what was in her heart.

As a result, Mrs. Chen still looked disdainful: "You were born in my belly. I don't know what you are. You can't speak in your husband's family. Why are you talking to me about this? If you have this time, you might as well think How do you want to tell your parents-in-law that the price of tiger bone meal can be lowered for our family? It’s not easy for your brother and younger brother. Why don’t you help me? Just ordering broken eggs is worth your pride. Wait until you really Let’s talk about it after we finish something.”

Uncle Duan couldn't bear it anymore.

She stood up directly and grabbed half of her basket of eggs: "Since mother dislikes it, then my broken eggs will not be an eyesore to you. I will keep them for my own sons to eat!"

"Hey!"

This was the first time that her daughter had disobeyed her. Mrs. Chen immediately became angry. She pointed at Aunt Duan’s nose and scolded her: "You got an advantage and came to abuse me. You just talked about your eldest nephew." That’s it for you. What’s the matter? He’s your biological child and you’re protecting them like an old hen. Will they remember your kindness?”

Uncle Duan held the egg and rubbed her neck: "Qing En is smart and smart. He will definitely be admitted to Tongsheng. By then he will be a real scholar and the whole family will benefit. Why am I protecting him?"

"Okay! Okay!! You have become rich and don't recognize me as your biological mother!"

I thought that I bought tiger bone powder from the Duan family, but it took so long to sell a small amount, but I didn't make a fortune at all and actually paid a lot of money.

Mrs. Chen sneered and threw away the curtain and walked out. Aunt Duan's eyes were red, she stamped her feet angrily, and then chased after her.

As soon as I went out, I saw my mother-in-law walking into the yard. Her mother-in-law greeted her with a smile: "My mother-in-law has finished speaking. I was about to go into the house to talk to you, but you gave birth to me." What a good daughter-in-law, you saved me a lot of trouble. I picked wild vegetables just now. You can bring them back later so that my father-in-law can taste them too. "

The affectionate look made Uncle Duan feel extremely ashamed.

She thought she was not very nice to her mother-in-law, but she was respectful on the face but full of resentment in her heart. But then, her mother-in-law turned out to be so attentive to her own mother because of her.

She was moved, but Chen was not moved at all.

Not only was she not moved, she also felt that Grandma Duan was making fun of herself.

She shook off Grandma Duan's hand and said angrily: "No, the daughter I gave birth to and raised will eventually become your Duan family's daughter-in-law. She has nothing to do without me."

As she said that, she saw Duan Qingen following Grandma Duan out of the corner of her eye, and she immediately felt hatred in her heart.

"Our family doesn't dare to become your in-laws. Isn't this boy going to be a child soon? We can't afford such a good family! From now on, our two families should not interact with each other!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, feeling extremely chic.

What Chen said was completely sarcastic.

After returning home, her husband asked her why she was so impulsive. If Duan Qingen was really admitted to Tongsheng, they wouldn't be able to take advantage at all. He was Tongsheng's elder.

She also snorted, saying how could Duan Qingen, a little boy, get admitted to the Tongsheng test all of a sudden? But she had seen that such an older child could still pass the Tongsheng test even though he was just peeing and playing with mud.

As a result, he passed the county examination.

The entire Duanjia Village exploded.

Duan Qingen of the Duan family has passed the Tongsheng Examination!
