It turned out that the gold mushrooms planted by Chief Chen’s youngest daughter-in-law were sold, more than three coins for fifty mushrooms.
More than three coins is equivalent to more than three thousand, which can buy six or seven stone of rice, enough for a family of five to eat for half a year.
Earned so easily in just over a month, without interfering with farm work — who wouldn’t want such a good deal?
So Han Miaoniang, Chief Chen’s second daughter-in-law, said to the four sisters-in-law, “These fifty mushrooms can be propagated, right? I don’t want much, just give me a hundred plants.”
The fourth sister-in-law, Mrs. Shao, was of course unwilling, and went to complain to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Tang.
When Mrs. Tang heard it, she was furious, and came over to scold the second daughter-in-law, “How ruthless can your heart be, can’t you stand it if our mother and daughter are doing well?”
She was not the biological mother of Han Miaoniang, she was Chief Chen Fu’s second wife, and she had only one son, Chen Zhu, in her life, and a daughter who had already been married off.
But Chen Erlang and Chen Dayong were the sons of Chen Fu’s ex-wife, so the eldest and the second daughter-in-law always disdain this stepmother, sometimes even arguing with her, making the relationship between in-laws is not like it should be.
The second daughter-in-law sneered, “Listen to you talk, how come you can’t stand us prospering? Father didn’t say we can’t ask for the seeds of the gold mushrooms.”
When Mrs. Tang heard that, she was furious and immediately went to confront her husband.
“Tell me, aren’t those gold mushrooms given to your youngest daughter-in-law? Why does the eldest and second daughter-in-law also want to plant them?”
She is Chief Chen’s second wife, and she has only one son, Chen Silang, who was sent to enlist by Chief Chen, this is a heart-wrenching affair for her.
Joyful that the old man finally had a conscience and found a livelihood for the young daughter-in-law, the eldest and second daughters-in-law became jealous and caused problems incessantly.
Chief Chen took a sip from his tea bowl and said lightly, “What’s the big deal?
Chief Chen took a sip from his tea bowl and said lightly, “What’s the big deal? Those gold mushrooms have mycelium, right? It’s no problem to share a little.”
“What?”
Mrs. Tang sat on her chair, slapped her leg, and burst into tears, “You monster! I was blind to marry you! Oh my God, I can’t live anymore, do you Chen Family want to push us to death? My poor Chen Zhu, not only did he go to soldier for his nephews, his wife and children are also bullied at home.”
Chief Chen’s forehead veins jumped and he slapped the table in anger,
“Enough! Who’s bullying Chen Zhu’s wife and children?”
Mrs. Tang leaped up and pointed at Chief Chen Fu and cursed: “You old fool, saying they are not being bullied? As soon as Chen Zhu’s wife gets her hands on three coins, someone can’t stand her being better off. Is it that only the eldest and the second are your biological sons, and is Chen Zhu perhaps adopted?” “Nonsense!” Chen Fu was so angry that his beard trembled.”
At this moment, the second daughter-in-law, Han Miaoniang, cynically said from outside the window, “Whoever is oppressing should die immediately. Oh, only the youngest daughter-in-law has the right to plant the gold mushrooms, we don’t have the right?”
Upon hearing this, Mrs, Tang was enraged, picked up a vase and ran out of the house, throwing it at Han Miaoniang.
However, she used too much strength and threw the vase right over the low wall, almost hitting Chen Yin’s head in Chen Sanyou’s house next door.
Let’s not talk about the chaos in the house of Clan leader Chen, Li Dayong and his brother Li Eryong are overjoyed.
They planted a total of two hundred gold mushrooms and fifty snow mushrooms and made a total of fifteen taels of silver.
Fifteen taels, they had never been able to save that much after working for more than ten years.
“Brother, let’s plant four hundred this time.” Li Eryong held the silver ingot and could not bear to move his hand.
He had never touched a silver ingot in his life. He never expected he would one day own one himself, no, two silver ingots.
The blind old father asked, “Son, let daddy feel what silver feels like.” Li Eryong put the two silver ingots in his father’s hand, “Feel them.”
The old man Li, touching a big and a small silver ingot, burst into tears.
Li Dayong and Li Eryong, were taken back, and quickly asked, “Father, why are you crying?”
“Well, I can die happy now.”
Old man Li rubbed the silver with his old face and cried out, “It’s a pity that your mother died early. If she knew that one day her sons would be so successful, she would have held on for a few more years.”
Li Dayong and Li Eryong looked at each other, sighed, and told Old man Li,
“Dad, when we have planted the gold mushrooms, we want to go to North Mountain to pay our respects to mother and give her the good news.”
