[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

From Xichun's mouth, I learned that now everyone in the family knows that their family wants to move to the countryside. For this reason, Luochun was very puzzled. Why can't there be any movement? Could it be that they don't want to go to the countryside, but want to stay here? If so, Jia Lian and Sister Feng really don't think it's fishy to eat a hundred beans!

In fact, Luochun's thinking was wrong. In her heart, the so-called family was her and Mrs. Xing, and even Jia Amnesty was just an addition for Mrs. Xing's sake.But in the hearts of Jia Lian and Sister Feng, the so-called family includes the owners of the big house, Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Jia Lian, Sister Feng, Yingchun, Luochun, Jia Cong and the elder sister, including Pinger. mouth, so naturally there is no need to come over to discuss anything with Mrs. Xing and Luochun.

This day, Sunset Chun came to Mrs. Xing's room, walked outside the door, and heard Mrs. Xing and Jia Amnesty arguing inside.Luo Chun heard the noise coming from the room, put down the hand that was raised to knock on the door, and stood outside the door to eavesdrop.

"...Jia Enhou, don't you understand the principle of 'asking for prices all over the sky, and paying back the money'? Why does the old lady do what she says, money for money, food for food... If you can earn it, I will pay you back." You can’t even say a word, but you can’t earn anything, whether it’s food, use, housing, or spending...it’s all mine, and you don’t even discuss it with me , just agreed to the old lady's conditions, what are you pretending to be in your head, don't you think about it before something happens?" Mrs. Xing in the room scolded Jia She angrily, and the remaining anger still persisted. Said: "If you have the ability to agree, if you think about it, you will have the ability to get money and food to answer the old lady. Anyway, don't count on me, I don't have a penny."

Jia She said with a bitter face, "That's my mother after all. As the eldest son, it's not filial enough for me not to support her. It's already unfilial to take you out. What if she asks for something for her? We don't take Not coming out? Besides, to put it bluntly, the old lady is at such an age, and she still has a few years to live, so how many years can we give it?"

Mrs. Xing sneered and said: "You are pretending to be a filial son for me. Since you want to be a filial son, then you might as well stay with the old lady. Without you, we can live in the countryside, and maybe it will be more comfortable. , more comfortable. Besides, do I love things? Although I can’t be called virtuous, I still understand the basic filial piety. If those things are used by the old lady herself, I don’t care if I double them. I just can't see the old lady using my things to subsidize those wolf-hearted things in the second room..."

"Since it was given to the old lady, it belongs to the old lady. You don't care how she spends it." Jia Shen whispered to the side.

"You——" Mrs. Xing was so angry that she stopped talking for a while. After a long time, she gave a loud pooh and said, "I don't care, but I just don't like it, and I feel aggrieved. If the old If the wife owns it, she can subsidize the second room as much as she wants, and I don’t want to argue about it. Or, even if the old lady throws those things on the street, or give them to beggars, I don’t care, but if it’s given to the second room, it’s not okay!"

Jia Amnesty felt aggrieved. When she was in the mansion, Jia's mother favored the second room everywhere. There was a reason to say that, because Jia Zheng was not as greedy and lustful as he was, and did not do business properly. Moreover, he had already obtained a title on his side, and the second room would have a future. Dividing out can only take away less than one-third of the property in the mansion, and it has become a side branch of Jia's mansion, so it is understandable that Jia's mother is partial to the second house and the second house.But now the two are almost on the same level, even he is not as good as Jia Zheng. There are two aunts Zhou and Zhao on Jia Zheng's side. There is no one on his side except Mrs. Xing who is getting more and more arrogant, but Jia Zheng Mother still doesn't want to see him.Regarding this, Jia Amnesty can be said to be puzzled, and in the end he can only comfort himself. He is probably destined to have a relatively shallow relationship with Jia's mother and child.

After hearing Madam Xing's words, Jia Amnesty said very depressedly: "Then what do you want? I have already agreed, so can I go back on my word? If I annoy the old lady and she refuses to let us move, wouldn't it be bad? "

Although neighbors, as children, as daughter-in-law, scolded their parents-in-law a lot and even did things, it is still rare for them to live apart from their parents. It is really unreasonable to leave it to the second brother and move to the countryside with his wife and children.If you really want to make Jia's mother disregard her face, make a fuss, and take it outside to say that no matter how many reasons there are on his side, it is unreasonable.

Mrs. Xing also knew this, and when Jia She said this, she fell silent.After a while, he let out a long sigh and said, "That's all, that's all, just treat it as if I fed those things to the dogs."

Jia Amnesty heard Mrs. Xing compare Jia Mu and the people in the second room to dogs, and moved her lips a few times, trying to say something, but in the end she didn't say a word.Mrs. Xing finally had no choice but to take out her things, so why should he make trouble at this joint, and because of this, he quarreled with Mrs. Xing, which annoyed her, and when Mother Jia came to ask for things, she really wanted nothing , when the time comes, he will be the one with Maojiao.Or, she was so angry that she left him alone and took her children to the countryside.Anyway, Mrs. Xing was just talking about it in her room out of anger, and he just pretended not to hear it.

Jia Amnesty came out of Mrs. Xing's room, saw Luo Chun standing at the door, stunned for a moment, stopped walking for a while, coughed lightly, and then walked past Luo Chun without looking sideways. .After Jia Amnesty left, Luochun entered the room and felt sullen when he saw Mrs. Xing sitting there.

Luo Chun sat next to Mrs. Xing and comforted her: "Why should mother get angry over such a trivial matter? It's not worth it to be so angry. Just like what my father said just now, the old lady is his mother after all, and she is already old, so I don't know How many years can there be, and besides, it is a common custom for the eldest son to take care of the elderly in the family. Besides, with the temper of the old lady, we are going to move to the countryside, and we want her to let her go without scraping off a layer of oil. How can she Maybe agree? I thought my mother should have been prepared for it long ago, but why did she get so angry anyway."

Madam Xing raised her eyebrows and asked, "When I was arguing with your father just now, you were standing outside? Did you hear everything?"

Luo Chun nodded and explained: "Well, I was standing outside the door, but I have only been here not long ago, so I didn't listen to the whole thing, only the second half."

Mrs. Xing showed a "no wonder" expression on her face, sighed, and said, "Actually, I know what you said, and I also know that there won't be any blood. I guess the old lady won't let him go. But I didn't expect, The old lady..." There was a sneering smile on her face, and she sneered: "The old lady opened her mouth like a lion. She doesn't just ask for things for herself, but even let us raise her second wife. In fact, if she Not mentioning the second room, just using my own name, no matter how many things she wants, I know in my heart that many of them will be subsidized by her to the second room, but as long as she doesn't break the window paper, I will open my eyes. Turn one eye and turn the other eye, just pretend not to know. But the old lady refuses, she knows that I don't like the second room, hate the second room, but keeps talking about the second room, which is clearly disgusting me, what do you want me to do? Not angry? I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup the second room gang gave the old lady, so that the old lady has been protecting them from the house to the outside! The old lady’s heart is so biased, it seems that your father is not her It's my own, but it looks like it was picked up on the street!"

Mrs. Xing complained that Jia's mother was biased towards the second wife, but Luochun felt that Jia's mother was not only biased towards the second wife, but also because the eldest wife did not listen to her and was out of her control, so she plotted against the eldest wife like this .In fact, Luochun's guess was right. Once Dafang moved to the countryside, Yingchun and Luochun would follow. The plan to make a comeback through marriage failed, she didn't hold on to the big house, and it was good to let them go after all.However, Mother Jia also knows that if she can keep people but can't keep her heart, the people's hearts are not on her side. Even if she finds a suitable marriage partner, it will be useless to her grand plan, so although she has no choice but to give up on her A plan to revitalize the family.In this case, the hope of the Jia family will finally fall on Dao Baoyu. Therefore, although Jia's mother doesn't like Mrs. Wang, she has to hold her nose for Baoyu, and search for benefits from the big house to subsidize the second house. All this is to be able to take on the treasure of the family's tomorrow.

Luo Chun heard Mrs. Xing's words, and hurriedly persuaded her from another angle: "Since mother knows that the old lady did it on purpose, then you are so angry now, you have fallen into the scheme of the old lady and fell into her trap. The old lady My wife knows that my mother is so angry, she must be very happy and satisfied."

"That's right." Mrs. Xing came to her senses, exhaled, inhaled, exhaled, inhaled,...repeatedly, and relieved herself: "I'm not angry, I'm not angry. The more they want me to be angry, the more angry I am, I can't let them watch my jokes..."

It's just easier said than done, Mrs. Xing still didn't hold back her temper after all, and complained to Luochun: "You don't know how much the old lady is going too far. Knowing that we are going to move to the country, what did she say to your father?" , this house was originally lived together by the first room and the second room. Now that our family has moved away, wouldn't the second room have to bear the rent alone? Therefore, even if we move away, we still have to bear the rent. Pooh, the old lady is ashamed to say this, and she is not afraid that the wind will flash her tongue. She also said that our first house is not filial, and the second house is now filial to him for us. We have to express it no matter what, and brazenly ask for something from us for Erfang..."

Luochun thought for a while, guessed according to Jia Mu's personality, and asked: "In addition to asking for the second room, the old lady should have asked for a lot of things herself? How much is there in total?"

Mrs. Xing sighed, and said: "I did the math, the money and food for filial piety to the old lady, together with the subsidy for the second room, it is about 150 taels."

150 taels?Hearing the number given by Mrs. Xing, Luochun said thoughtfully: "It's not too many." Facing the gaze cast by Mrs. Xing, she quickly explained: "Mother, look, everyone in this house The monthly rent is 96 taels, and it is 60 taels of silver in a year. The old lady’s old-age silver is 150 taels from the imperial court a year. The sum of these two items will cost [-] taels of silver, so the old lady asked us for these. Not many."

"Not much? According to you, it seems that the old lady is showing mercy to us?" Mrs. Xing sneered, and said: "Lian's daughter-in-law told me that there is a grandma Liu who plays the autumn wind in the mansion. She lives with his son-in-law's family. Including her, there are five people in the family. 20 taels of silver is almost enough for their farmer's family to live for a year. What's more, the old lady thought we hid things privately, but she was just thinking carefully. I just refused to take it out and use it. I was just guarding against this, so I said that the things your uncle brought over were sent by my mother's family because they saw us living in fear. Your father's elm head, the old lady asked him, he You even told the old lady everything about the house and land that your uncle sent you, and you really don’t know what to say, you are so stupid.”

Angrily scolding Jia She, Mrs. Xing continued: "The old lady has been the director of the family for so many years. Although she doesn't pay much attention to it these years, she still has a rough idea of ​​how much an acre of land will produce. Do the math, old lady. The money we are asking for is not all the production of our field, and the old lady still calculates it according to the fertile field, but how can the field we bought have such a large production? If it is all given to the old lady and the second wife, what will we eat? Your father didn't even say to do the math, but he didn't argue at all. Isn't that just confirming our conjecture that we really have something hidden in secret? The old lady was just guessing before, but there is no real evidence in the end. We can't help but deny her. Now Well, I sent it to the door by myself, so I don’t ask myself. I know that we have other things in our hands, and this old lady wants money, goods, food... Your father gave it so happily, I must guess the old lady No, after we move out, we don’t have to worry about the family’s livelihood. So I’m worried that the old lady’s asking for things from us this time is not a one-off deal. With this beginning, I don’t know what name she will use in the future Ask us for money!"

Originally, Luochun was taken aback by Mrs. Xing's intimacy with Sister Feng, and wanted to ask, but after hearing what Mrs. Xing said later, she no longer cared about Sister Feng's affairs. It doesn't matter how much money I give to Jia's mother in a year, it is counted as the cost of supporting her, as much as possible, it doesn't matter, but after Mrs. Xing said this, I realized that it is not the same thing at all, it is not that simple.

Luo Chunsi thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a solution, so he frowned and said with a sad face: "This is a worry, mother, can you think of any good solution?" She is not afraid to give things to Jia Mu, but she is afraid that Jia Mu will be greedy and unwilling to stop. She also occupies the position of righteousness and stands on the commanding heights of morality, so that this matter is very difficult, and it is really troublesome to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xing looked gloomy. She couldn't help cursing Jia She inwardly, sighed, and said, "There is no good way, the road is blocked by your father. We can only do things." After you come out, you will see the tricks."

Luochun is silent, although she is helpless, she has to admit that there is really no other way, she can only follow Mrs. Xing's words and let her go.It's just that when she thinks that they are a family, but they have come to such a field, and they are calculating in every possible way, she feels haunted for a moment.
