"If I play with you, I will miss the oxcart on the way back. We'll have a chance next time." Meiyu spoke before the eldest brother opened his mouth and put another piece of food into Shuanzi's bowl with chopsticks.

"Okay~" Shuanzi was a little unhappy, but he still ate the food in the bowl obediently.

The eldest brother sighed in his heart, this kid is really good, if he were rich, he would definitely put down his chopsticks, roll on the ground and never give up until he achieved his goal.

Although they were not very full, they had eaten a lot. It would be impolite to eat more. The eldest wanted to get up and help clean up the dishes, but Shuanzi snatched him away, "Uncle, you are the guest, I will do it."

Shuanzi quickly cleared the dishes from the table and took a rag to wipe the table.

The eldest son was amazed. Fugui had never done such work at home. If he stretched out his hand, the old lady would scold him, "How can a boy do such things? Jinshui, Xiuli, why don't you take over the job quickly?"

I don’t know what my mother is thinking. Our family is not wealthy, so it is normal for boys to work.

Besides, my sister's family is much richer than mine, and they let Shuanzi do this and that. He is very polite and treats people much better than my own boy. When I go back, I will let him do some of the work within his ability to help share some of the burden.

These have to be cultivated from childhood. If a farmer doesn't know how to work, he will be laughed at if he tells others about it. But his mother will definitely stop him, so he has to think about how to say it.

When it was almost time to go back, the eldest brother said goodbye to them one by one.

Meiyu said politely, "I'll see you off." But she was unhappy in her heart. He had caused so much trouble and came to ask for things, even taking away her favorite box. Who would give anything to such a person?

The eldest brother sensed his sister's thoughts. Since he had already got the things, it didn't matter whether he gave them a gift or not. He waved his hand and said, "No need to give them a gift. I know this route."

Shuanzi pulled his sleeve and said, "I'll see you off, uncle."

Meiyu had a blank expression on her face at first, but a smile appeared on her face when she heard her son's words. Her son was really smart and sensible, and he must not be delayed in his official career. She hoped that the things she took out would be useful.

He squatted down, his eyes were level with his son's, helped him straighten his collar and sleeves, and secretly stuffed some money into his hand, "You can send your uncle, but if you want to go out to play after that, you must come back and let me know, understand."

Shuanzi nodded, "I know."

"Go." Meiyu looked at the backs of her elder brother and the jumping Shuanzi and felt inexplicably harmonious. This must be blood relationship.

Suddenly, I shuddered. Bah, bah, bah. My son must not be like his uncle. When Shuanzi comes back, I must tell him not to learn from his uncle. No one in the village likes him.

After walking for a while, Shuanzi looked back to make sure his grandmother couldn't see him, then spread out his hands and said, "Uncle, this is what my mother gave you."

The eldest brother was holding food in his hands and a box of unknown make in his arms. He was feeling very happy and had not thought about paying the coachman. He looked down and saw the money in Shuanzi's hand. He suddenly realized, yes, how could he have forgotten about this? It was his younger sister who was thoughtful and gave more money than the round-trip fare.

She took out the extra money and put it back in Shuanzi's hand, then waved the hand holding the money in front of him, "These are enough for me, you can take the rest, I won't tell your mother."

Shuanzi looked at the money in his hand. Although his mother would give him some money normally, it should be for his uncle and he couldn't take it. He would go back and tell his mother later that when things were done, he might be able to get the money back. He must not take things that did not belong to him.

"Uncle, take it all." Shuanzi put the money in the eldest brother's hand and turned around and ran away.

Feeling that he could no longer catch up, he turned his head and said, "Uncle, come and play with me next time."

"it is good."

He weighed the money in his hand and looked at Shuanzi's back. He thought he had been taught well. He should not ask for money that he shouldn't ask for. If he had accepted it, he might have accepted it. Who wouldn't want money? This child will have great potential in the future.

As an uncle, I failed to set a good example for others, but I cannot hold them back. I will find a suitable time to send the things over. It would be best if he could see them.

The boss waved at Shuanzi, who saw it and shouted, "Have a safe journey."

The eldest was happy and was quite talkative.

The coachman looked at the eldest brother with sidelong eyes. They had agreed before that he would pay when he came back. If he didn't pay now, he would definitely not let him ride in the coach.

When the boss saw the master's expression, he reluctantly took out a few copper coins, counted them twice in his palm, for fear of giving too much.

It was the first time the master had seen such a person. It was just a few cents, so why did he count them so many times? He could tell at a glance that he was a very stingy person.

He reached out to take it, but the boss took the money back from someone else's hand and said, "It's this money, right?"

The driver nodded. He was really reluctant. When he gave the money, he didn't talk his mouth off and beg for a ride like before.

Forget it, as long as I can give the money, I don’t want to waste any more time talking to this kind of person.

He took the money, took a look at it, and confirmed that there was no problem before letting the boss get on the ox cart.

The boss felt a little uncomfortable. Others got on the bus smoothly, but he was given all kinds of difficulties. The bus driver was not a good person either. Next time, he would avoid taking his bus if possible to save money and anger.

The aunt who sat next to him when he came still sat next to him when he left, staring at the cloth bag in the eldest brother's hand with contempt in her eyes. What a shame! He went there empty-handed, but came back with a bag of things. He said nicely that he was going to see his sister, but it was obvious that he was just going to beg for money. That was his married sister, and he had the nerve to do that.

The eldest brother felt that he was being stared at, so he looked back. The aunt immediately put away her expression, pulled the corner of her mouth, and said awkwardly: "Hey~ What's in your bag?"

The eldest brother felt a little annoyed. These gossipers only knew how to ask about these random things all day long. They even asked about the contents of the bag. "My sister asked me to bring something to mother, but I didn't see what it was."

"Meiyu is so filial."

Although the aunt said this, she didn't believe it at all in her heart. It was obviously a bag for grain.

Everyone knows that the eldest brother's family is extremely poor. He must have nothing to eat, so he went to borrow food from his married daughter. He really would do that.

Generally, such daughters-in-law cannot hold their heads up in front of their mothers-in-law. It is really unlucky to be the daughter of their family.

And looking at the bag of food, it is not a small amount. It must have emptied the family’s savings.

Tsk tsk, there's nothing I can do. Who made me have such in-laws? I have to keep my eyes open in the future. Before my son and daughter get married, I have to find out what kind of people are in the other family. I will never accept such a family.
