Chapter 98: What’s so great about having a bullock cart?
Si Ya is not stupid. She sees that the family is getting better, and it is all Erlang's credit. Judging from these days, Erlang is no longer the Erlang of the past, he is much more sensible.
He is not stingy at all and is good to his sisters. Why worry that Erlang will not help them three sisters in the future?
Jiang Youzhen nodded. Actually, it would be good for the couple to talk to the three sisters. In the past, everyone was poor, so naturally they didn't think so much. But now that life has improved, it's inevitable that some thoughts will arise.
She is not a stingy person, it is impossible for her to be reluctant to give good things to her sisters. After all, when she first came here, her three sisters also protected her, even if that was to the original owner, but people are not plants or trees, who can be heartless!
During this period of contact, she also developed some feelings for this family. But it is impossible to say how deep the feelings are.
Just like Shen said, she can give, but they can't be ungrateful. She is not yet a saint to the point of sharing her foundation with them equally, that is impossible.
Fortunately, the attitudes of her three sisters were still acceptable. As long as she didn't have any concerns, she would naturally be willing to help.
Walking around the main house, Jiang Youzhen returned to the yard, pretending to have just returned and pushed the door open.
The conversation in the room stopped abruptly, and Jiang Youzhen said nonchalantly: "Dad, I will go to the town tomorrow and ask Chen Yazi what the manor says."
"Okay! You can go there tomorrow and buy the three acres of land in our village by the way." Jiang Fugui nodded in agreement.
Nothing happened that night. Jiang Youzhen got up early in the morning and prepared to go to town. Jiang Fugui was harnessing the carriage for him.
"You don't know how to drive, so let me go with you!" Jiang Fugui harnessed the car and looked at Jiang Youzhen.
Today is the day Jiang Youzhen and Zhao Wei agreed to go to the town to sell fox fur. Jiang Youzhen thought about it and decided that she also wanted to go to the county town, so it would be inconvenient for Jiang Fugui to go.
"Brother Zhao Wei will also be there later, and he will drive the car."
Jiang Fugui felt relieved when he heard that she was going with her future son-in-law. But then he thought that Erlang was a girl and it was not appropriate for her to be with Zhao Wei all the time. When he was about to insist on going alone, a sarcastic voice came.
"Erlang! Your family bought a cow, but you didn't even bother to show respect to your grandparents. You went to town by yourself, but why didn't you ask your grandparents if they wanted to go?"
Jiang Youzhen looked back and found that the annoying Fourth Aunt was right behind them.
He rolled his eyes, knowing that this guy would be jealous. Luo's envious and jealous look almost burned a hole in the cow's body. Even the cow felt uneasy, kicking its hooves from time to time, feeling a little irritated.
"Fourth Aunt, I advise you not to come and cause trouble." Jiang Youzhen said, and then he saw Zhao Wei's figure appear outside the door, "Dad! We're leaving first!"
Zhao Wei came in, bowed to the two elders, and without saying much, drove the ox cart skillfully and was about to leave.
"Eh? Wait a minute, Erlang, I want to go to town too, can you give me a ride?"
Suddenly, my aunt came running over with a bundle in her hand.
Are you going back to town? Jiang Youzhen suddenly remembered the last time he went to town and saw his second uncle going in and out of Yiliu Lane.
Seeing this, Luo thought it would be a waste not to take advantage of the opportunity.
"Wait a minute, I also need to go to town to buy some things." Luo said as he ran back to get some money.
"Sorry! This ox cart is small and can't seat too many people." Jiang Youzhen said and urged Zhao Wei to leave.
The wheels were already moving, and when Mrs. Chen saw that Jiang Youzhen had no intention of giving her a ride, she became so angry that her face turned green.
However, she has always been a green tea fan and shameless. Seeing that Jiang Youzhen was going to sit at the outermost position and block her from getting on the ox cart, she immediately rushed forward.
"It's okay, I don't mind, just squeeze in."
Just as Xiao Chen was about to get on the cart, Jiang Youzhen moved his feet. Because the ox cart was moving forward, Xiao Chen lost her balance and fell off the cart.
"Ouch!" Little Chen screamed in pain and couldn't even straighten her back.
"Aunt, are you okay? Don't be so reckless next time. It would be bad if you fall and hurt your waist."
Jiang Youzhen wanted to laugh, so he knocked on the frame and whispered, "Go!"
Zhao Wei had been here once before, so how could he not understand this family's attitude towards the people in the upper house? Without saying anything, he drove the ox cart as fast as he could.
"Sister-in-law! Are you okay?" Shen heard the voice and came out of the house. Seeing her sister-in-law lying on the ground and screaming, she asked hurriedly.
Luo ran out quickly and saw that the ox cart had already arrived at the village entrance. He immediately spat on the ground.
"You bastard, you have no conscience! You actually slipped away without waiting for us. When you come back, I will teach you a lesson." Luo said angrily.
Shen's face darkened. "Sister-in-law, it's wrong for you to say that about my Erlang, isn't it? The ox cart is mine, she can take whoever she wants. As an elder, why are you cursing the younger generation like this? If you have the ability, buy yourself an ox cart."
Shen never lost her temper with anyone, but how could a mother not be angry when she heard such words? This was the first time she had spoken such harsh words.
"Is it a big deal to have an ox cart? You and your second brother are rich now and look down on the poor relatives at home. Then do you look down on your father and mother? You have an ox cart, but you don't know how to respect your father and mother? They don't even have an ox cart!"
Shen was not good at speaking, and after being rebuked by Luo, she was speechless and didn't know how to respond.
Little Chen felt her buttocks hurt, but she couldn't say it out loud. Until now, no one came to help her, and she couldn't even get up.
"Aunt, even though we have separated, our family has not failed to pay less tribute to Grandpa and Grandma! Over the years, how much tribute have Uncle and Aunt paid to Grandpa and Grandma? Do you want us to discuss it?"
Si Ya carried a basin out of the door. She knew her mother was not good at talking and couldn't win over Fourth Aunt, so she came to help.
"The elders are talking, why are you, a junior, butting in?" Luo stepped forward to teach Si Ya a lesson.
Seeing this, Si Ya snorted coldly and poured the basin of water in her hand out. Seeing that something was not right, Luo Shi quickly dodged.
Unfortunately, it was too late. She was splashed with water and became so angry that she started to curse.
Little Chen, who was lying on the ground, was so angry that she yelled, "Si Ya, you have such a vicious heart! In the middle of winter, you threw water on us? Do you want to freeze us to death?
Just wait, I will definitely go around the town and tell everyone about your sisters, so that everyone will know how fierce they are, and see who dares to be a matchmaker for your family."
Si Ya looked down and found that little Chen's head and face were all wet, and covered with two vegetable leaves. She immediately laughed out loud.
"Ouch! Sister-in-law, hurry! I'll help you up. Si Ya is still young and doesn't understand. She didn't see it clearly. Don't bother with her." Seeing this, Shen hurried forward to help little Chen.
Jiang Youzhen, who was already on her way to the town, had no idea that so many things had happened at home after she left. At this moment, she was in a very good mood when she thought about the big fortune she would make on her trip to the town and the county.
