Chapter 22
"You, how can you say that? We all live in the same village. When you come to your house to ask for a drink, you actually talk about money. It hurts your feelings. Now that your family is doing well, why don't you look down on us villagers?"

"That's right, it seems that people's lives are better now, and they don't want to associate with us guys anymore."

"Isn't this ungrateful? When their family was in trouble before, we would always reach out to help them. Now that they are living well, just treat us like this."

"Hey~ They have silver waists now, unlike us, who don't have copper coins, so they don't bother to talk to them."

Rosie couldn't stand it anymore, went into the house, picked up a big basin, poured half a jug of wine into it, mixed some cold water in it, added a handful of sugar in it, stirred until the sugar melted, served Going out and putting it on the dining table in the yard, ignoring Er Gouzi's sister-in-law and their distressed faces, they took a cup and gave it to the village chief to let them figure it out.Then I turned around and prepared to go to the kitchen to make breakfast. I was a little hungry, and the sun was already rising.

"This wine is really delicious. It's actually sweet. It doesn't have a high alcohol content. You won't be afraid of getting drunk. Oh! It's really suitable for my old lady." When the village's loud matchmaker's surprised voice came, Rosie frowned. .

"Just take a sip of wine, don't drink too much, others will drink too!" Er Gouzi's sister-in-law's loud voice came over.

"My God, the color of this wine looks like blood. Could it be brewed with blood? It's too dirty. I won't drink it. Matchmaker Huo, please give the glass to someone else." A female voice came.

"Li Erya, what nonsense are you talking about! This is for..." The voice suddenly stopped here.

"What for?" Someone asked anxiously.

"Hmph! If you want to fry me, tell me the raw materials of the wine, dreaming." Er Gouzi's sister-in-law's mocking voice came.

Rosie: ...

Dirty wine brewed with blood?

Shouldn't it be said: wine brewed with blood replenishes blood?
Oh, I forgot that the ancients did not eat the blood of animals because they thought it was dirty. -_-#
Er Gouzi's mother-in-law went into the kitchen to look at Rosie, her mouth moved, she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything, she knelt down to help light the fire.

Rosie knew what the other party wanted to say, but she just felt sorry for the big pot of wine.

Rosie pretended not to notice, and continued to wash the rice in her hand.

The crowd in the yard did not disperse until breakfast was ready. Everyone was discussing the possible ingredients in the wine, and some even tasted that the wine was mixed with water!
Now everyone's complexion was not good, Rosie hurriedly said: "There is only half a jar left in the house, and I kept it for myself to drink. There is no way that there are too many of you. I am afraid that each person will not be able to take a sip, so I mixed some water."

Now everyone's complexion is better, although it can still be seen that they are not very happy.

Some people say that the taste is sour and sweet, and it feels a bit like wild grapes in the mountains. They asked if it is made from wild grapes.Rosie smiled and said nothing.No matter what everyone guessed was inside or what it looked like, Rosie never denied it or admitted it.

At the breakfast table, a few people felt that the food at Rosie's family was good, so they stayed and ate. Others felt that there would be nothing to gain if they stayed any longer, so they left one after another.

After breakfast, in front of the whole family, Rosie took out the silver taels delivered by the restaurant in the morning and gave 100 taels each to the sister-in-law and mother-in-law.The sister-in-law happily took the money, and felt that she had helped Rosie pick wild grapes a few times before, and she was able to see so much money without any other help. I have never seen so much silver.Seeing so much money at this moment, sister-in-law felt that Rosie, sister-in-law, was pleasing to her eyes for the first time.

The eldest brother felt that the money given was too much, and planned to snatch the money from his daughter-in-law who loved money like his life, and return it to Rosie, but failed after several attempts.After all, if the other party clings to the silver tightly and doesn't let go, and doesn't give himself a little face, who can do it?Have no idea!

Rosie stopped the eldest brother, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't take the life of my sister-in-law anymore. Over the years, thanks to your help, Er Gouzi went to school with money, and most of the work at home depends on you." You, the money is a wish of me and Er Gouzi. Besides, we are relatives. It’s okay to have money for you to spend. Winter is coming, and we need to buy winter clothes and quilts at home. It’s time to spend money. , I hope it’s time for me to take out the money.”

"This, this is too much. One or two taels is enough for us. How can we give 100 taels so much. Er Gouzi spends the most money in studying, and with this money, Er Gouzi can manage more interpersonal relationships. In the future, he will go to the provincial government and take the exam in the capital, and he will need to spend even more money. Even if he becomes an official in the future, money is still hard currency. We have food, drink and a new house to live in at home. It is all thanks to the younger siblings. Where's your money? No, you can take this money back and save it for later use." As he said that, Brother Er Gouzi started to grab the money that was clinging to his shy daughter-in-law.

"Brother, I will remember what you said. Don't worry, I will keep some money in the future, but you can keep the money this time. Xiaobai is almost at the time of enlightenment, and he also needs money. You have to For the sake of the children." Rosie said, waving her hands.

"Yes, yes, the head of the family, the child needs money when he goes to school, just like what Yun'er said, let's keep the money. After all, this is also a kindness from the younger siblings and Er Gouzi to us. We can't take it away. Push your mind out!" The sister-in-law said anxiously.

"Take it away, keep it for Xiaobai to go to school, you two don't mess around." Father Er Gouzi took a puff of cigarette and settled the matter.

"Yun'er, what kind of work is going on at home in the future, just ask me, sister-in-law, I will be there whenever you are called, absolutely unambiguous." The sister-in-law hurriedly walked to her room while holding the money, talking very fast, probably eager to hide The silver is gone.

Rosie smiled, but didn't answer, this can't be taken seriously, and I don't dare to take it seriously.

Who doesn't know the nature of sister-in-law.

Lazy, greedy, shrewd, and aggressive.

If I have to, I don't dare to ask her for help.

Rosie laughed it off as a joke.

The old couple happily accepted the 100 taels given to their mother-in-law.Filial piety comes first among all good deeds, and it is normal to use money to honor your elders.

After this little episode, the family, as usual, began to go up the mountain to chop firewood, and to do needlework at home. Rosie counted the silver left in the box, except for building the house, other usual expenses , I counted the 200 taels given out today, plus the broken silver notes in the original owner’s dowry box, and there is a total of 850 thirty-two four silver coins left. Rosie was very satisfied and hid the silver again. After leaving the house, I plan to go around the village, collect some radishes, make hot and sour radishes at home, and then take them to the town to exchange for some money. In autumn, the most indispensable thing in every vegetable field is radishes. There are so many people that they can't finish eating and feed them to the pigs.
