40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

Wang Yulan opened and closed her mouth and kept talking. Yun Guoping and Yun Lingling, brother and sister, who were only a few years old, burst into tears when their grandmother said that. It was so pitiful to see.

"Second son, second son's wife, I am telling the truth." Wang Yulan saw the two children crying and said to Yun Chengli and his wife.

At the same time, he glanced at the bosses standing beside him and winked at them, "Do you think I'm wrong?"

The eldest brother Yun Chengye and his family received the suggestion from their grandmother and agreed.

The two children who saw this scene cried even louder. They were still young and didn’t know how to refute.

Yun Chengli and his wife were heartbroken when they heard the children crying.

Hearing is not as good as seeing, and he believes what he sees.

But looking at what my mother and eldest brother's family said, and looking at my mother's confident expression, no matter what, she is my mother, the one who carried me for ten months and gave birth to me.

On one side is his mother who gave birth to him and raised him, and on the other side are his blood-related children. Since ancient times, filial piety has been the most important virtue. He believes that in his current situation, if he continues to refute, with his mother's style...

When Yun Chengli was in a dilemma, a voice sounded and made him make up his mind.

"Daddy, what my brother and sister said is true!"

Yun Feifei's voice rang out, and she walked in with her two other brothers and sisters, Yun Guohua and Yun Shasha.

Yun Chengli and Fang Cuiping looked in the direction of the sound and saw their eldest daughter carrying a large bundle of firewood. The weight of the firewood made her unable to straighten her back.

The second and third children, who were not even ten years old, were also carrying a large backpack, which was filled with piles of wild vegetables.

"Miss!"

"Second brother!"

"Three sisters!"

The twin brother and sister shouted to the three people who came in, and Yun Chengli and his wife quickly came over to help unload the burden on their backs.

Looking at the three children sweating profusely and their clothes soaked with sweat, the parents felt very distressed.

"You are still young and growing up. You should do things within your ability or you may not grow taller! Don't carry so much next time." Fang Cuiping said as she took out the handkerchief she carried with her to wipe the sweat off their foreheads.

When Wang Yulan heard the voice, she secretly said "bad" and thought about stopping it.

Seeing this, Yun Feifei and her two siblings hid behind their parents.

"Mom and Dad, if we don't bring enough milk, we won't be able to drink it!" Yun Feifei spoke first.

"Yes! He will beat us!" Yun Shasha's voice continued.

Yun Guohua nodded in agreement.

"Well, you little bastards, I provide you with good food and drink, and this is how you repay me?" Wang Yulan shouted.

Fang Cuiping was upset when she heard her mother's cry. What did she mean by "she is providing for my children"?

She and her husband worked for a rich man's family and received a considerable salary every month.

As soon as they started working, the money was confiscated by their mother before they could even warm it in their hands, under the pretext that she was still the head of the family.

She now earns eight dollars a month, and Chengli earns fifteen dollars a month. This monthly salary has been increased in the last two years.

Before, the couple's monthly allowance was 15 yuan, which they had all handed over. Whenever they wanted to use money, they would ask their mother for it, but they would be questioned, and most of the time they would not get any money at all.

So they didn't tell their family about the salary increase. They kept eight yuan in their hands every month, which amounted to nearly two hundred yuan in two years, all of which they hid.

My mother said this as if she was supporting her own family of seven. It was 1939, and a stone of rice cost 25 yuan, which was several times more than a few years ago.

One stone of rice weighs 160 kilograms. The 15 yuan his family pays a month is enough to buy nearly kilograms of rice, but it is still not enough to feed his family of seven? ?

Wang Yulan shouted louder and louder, wanting to come over and teach her children a lesson. The children from her eldest brother's family also joined in the fun.

Yun Chengli looked at his four nephews and nieces, then at his own children, and his brows immediately frowned.

Normally, the couple are rarely at home during the day, so it is rare for the whole family to get together.

When they came back, their own children were already asleep, let alone their nephews and nieces?

When I saw the four of them, they all had ruddy complexions, strong bodies, and were dressed in decent clothes.

In contrast, his own children had unkempt hair, sunken cheeks, and thin bodies. They all wore ill-fitting clothes that were washed white and covered with patches.

My husband and I have jobs and receive a monthly salary, while my eldest brother's family are just farmers working in the fields. It seems like the children of the two families have been swapped.

Upon seeing this, several children immediately hid behind their parents, and Yun Chengli and his wife also protected their children.

It was a mess here, and the second son Yun Guohua quietly left the crowd and walked into the kitchen.
