Nier felt that only a tofu shop was worthy of this plaque, but now that they were ready to eat, they would just make do with it. "Let's put it on the kang first, and put it on the table when we go to bed at night."

The third brother felt that this was not a long-term solution as it took up too much space, so he had to make this arrangement temporarily.

Meiyu first shouted, "Mom~"

When the old lady heard her daughter's voice, she got off the kang and walked out quickly.

Now the eldest and second brother are annoyed by everyone they see. They are willing to turn against me just for those few taels of silver. It's really a waste of time to raise them.

They only care about their own pocket money. It’s better to have a married daughter. There is no conflict with them in terms of money, unlike those two life-threatening ghosts.

I look forward to having someone to whom I can talk to all day long.

The only person you can vent your grievances to is your own daughter.

Seeing Meiyu wearing a new set of clothes, the old lady kept muttering in her heart that her son-in-law was really good to her. She reached out and touched his sleeve, "This must have cost a lot of money."

Meiyu saw that her mother was a connoisseur of value, so she did not hide it and said, "It's not cheap, it costs two taels of silver."

The eldest brother is now very sensitive to money, especially the word "two taels of silver". He has been like a possessed man these past few days. His eyes have become fiery and he stares straight at the clothes his younger sister is wearing.

Meiyu felt her brother's gaze and thought something was wrong. She suddenly realized that she seemed to have said something wrong and wanted to slap herself in the face.

How could I even mention money in front of them? I was like a little fat sheep walking into the tiger's mouth. How foolish.

The old lady saw the bundle in the eldest brother’s arms again. He looked as if he was guarding against her. She didn’t know what was inside. Was he borrowing money?

But if he wanted to see it, the boss would not refuse. He reached out to grab the bundle, but the boss dodged it immediately. He knew it must be a good thing, "What's in it?"

The eldest brother held the bag tightly, like an old hen protecting her cubs. He glanced around and said softly, "Here are ten taels of silver. They are my lifeblood."

The old lady felt that there didn't seem to be silver in the bundle, but it was always good for him to borrow money so that he wouldn't have to bother her all the time, so she didn't really want to see what was inside.

It would be best if the eldest brother could handle this kind of thing himself. I am too old to do it and don't like to meddle in these trivial matters.

The old lady looked at her daughter carefully for a while and felt a little sad. She didn't have such nice clothes when she was young. It was good enough to have just one piece of clothing to cover her body. She pulled Meiyu into the house and told her about the grievances she had suffered these days.

The eldest brother returned to his room and searched everywhere, finally finding some clothes that his wife had worn before and that were quite nice.

This outfit was what my wife wore before she gave birth. She was thinner at that time, and she could no longer wear it after she gave birth. It should be just the right size for Meiyu to wear.

When the time comes, I can change the clothes she is wearing and sell them in town for some money. I should be able to collect enough money with the help of my mother, but I don’t know whether Meiyu and my mother will agree. Forget it, don’t think too much about it for now, just give it a try.

Meiyu felt a little annoyed when she heard her mother talking about these trivial matters. Why were all the matters concerning her own family and she couldn't talk about other people's family matters?

All she could think about was money. There was nothing else in her ears. The ox cart would be leaving soon anyway, so she couldn't listen for a while. Let her mother talk if she wanted. She had been feeling suffocated these past few days.

The eldest brother stood at the door and shouted, "Mom~"

The two of them looked in the direction of the sound at the same time. Normally, no one would come to disturb them at this time. The boss really had no tact.

"Mom, I have something to ask you, please come out for a moment."

The old lady thought that the eldest son must have something bad to say, so she ignored him and said, "Can't you see I'm talking to your sister? Let's talk later if you have anything to say."

The eldest was a little anxious. What would he do if his younger sister left? He went into the house, pulled his mother, and walked out. "It's a good thing, mother. I'm just a little anxious."

The old lady didn't have the strength to break free, so the boss dragged her into his house and closed the door. "If you have to fart, do it now."

The eldest brother put his wife's clothes in front of his mother and said, "Mom, do you remember what Meiyu asked just now about how much the clothes she was wearing cost?"

The old lady thought that she was not so old that she could not remember things and would forget them as soon as she turned around. She patted the eldest brother on the shoulder and said, "I am not old and confused yet, don't curse me."

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. He took another look at the clothes on the kang and remembered that Meiyu had just said that what she was wearing was worth two taels of silver, and there were ten taels of silver in the bag on the kang. So this was exactly twelve taels of silver.

If I change my daughter's clothes, I won't have to pay, and I won't have to look at my eldest brother with that droopy donkey face all day, and my ears will be free.

But my daughter went out with one set of clothes and returned with another set of clothes. Can she explain it clearly? Will she be slandered for being immoral?

The eldest brother saw the confusion in his mother's heart and explained, "Mom, I just went to the third brother's house, and the county magistrate's plaque was delivered today."

The old lady was originally very happy, as the matter was about to be solved. Why spoil her fun at this time? She really didn't know how to choose the right time to speak, and rolled her eyes at him.

The eldest brother felt that his mother had misunderstood what he meant and hurried to explain.

"I mean, Meiyu is also the third brother's sister. Who dares to say anything bad about her? What you're worried about won't happen. I've considered it very comprehensively.

"Don't worry, mother. As long as you agree to this matter, the rest will be easy."

The old lady's eyes rolled around, thinking that the eldest son's brain was really sharp. Just like her, he could come up with this method.

Regardless of whether it is good or bad, it can save you money and solve urgent problems, which is really not a bad thing.

He looked at the boss approvingly and nodded simply.

The eldest brother got his mother's consent, and the uncomfortable feeling in his heart disappeared instantly. The girl had established a relationship with the county magistrate, and no one dared to say anything bad about her.

I took five pieces of fabric from her, so it wouldn't matter if I took one more set of clothes. It was all for Shuanzi anyway, so she would agree.

Meiyu had a bad feeling and wanted to leave here quickly. "Mom, brother, the ox cart is about to leave. I have to hurry to the village entrance. You can talk slowly if you have anything to say. You don't have to see me off."

When the two heard this, they rushed out of the house. The eldest was accidentally stepped on by his mother and grimaced in pain, but he quickly adjusted his expression.

"Girl, I have something to tell you."

Meiyu didn't want to listen to him at all and walked straight to the door.

The eldest brother grabbed his sister's arm and found that she was so strong, like a bull, that he could hardly hold her. He blurted out, "Don't worry, it's Shuanzi's business."
