Zhang Qingzhu was walking on the road angrily, and as he walked, he felt that he was inexplicably angry.

After thinking about it, it boils down to the fact that he don't like Liang ruffian, and then he stopped worrying about this matter, but went home with all my heart.

He guessed in his heart how his mother would deal with him, thinking that as long as he didn't give him food, it would be fine.

Speaking of Zhang Qingzhu's family in Mingshan Village is also a famous family.

There are two reasons why his family is famous. One is that there are eight brothers in the family, and the other is that only two of the eight brothers are married, and they are notoriously poor.

For the ancient times when the level of productivity was low, it is true that more people are more powerful.

Those with more labor at home are naturally more comfortable than those with less labor.

Moreover, in ancient times, many children were more blessed, and because there were no contraceptive measures, they were born to the age when they could not give birth.

However, for the ancient times when the sanitary conditions were equally low, being able to live does not mean that one could support a living, and many people died prematurely due to causes and disasters.

Zhang Qingzhu's mother was very able to give birth and gave birth to eight sons in a row, a typical realistic example of having two children in three years. The key is that people can not only live, but also feed. A total of eight children were born, and all eight were raised.

There are eight sons in the family, and the country of Dongyuan implements the land-equalization system.

The land acquisition here is not serious. It is reasonable to say that the Zhang family should live well.

It's just that the source of Zhang's poverty is not because there are too many children, but because of Father Zhang's illness.

Father Zhang suffered from a chronic disease, and he had to rely on medicine to support him, and he had to spend a lot of money every year to save his life.

Father Zhang felt very guilty about the predicament he caused his family. But the sons were all filial, and they persuaded him one by one to let him relax. If he dared to seek short-sightedness, the brothers would live their whole lives in guilt.

So Father Zhang could only rely on medicine to survive, and the Zhang family was still so poor.

Zhang Qingzhu carried a burden from the outskirts of the village to his own house.

When he came to the door of his yard, he stretched out his head and stretched out his head to look into the yard surreptitiously.

He only saw his second brother Zhang Qingmu and fifth brother Zhang Qingshui weaving baskets, but he didn't see any other figures.

He guessed the possibility that others were nesting in the house.

The handsome Zhang Qingshui looked up at Zhang Qingzhu's head and said with a smile, "Xiaozhu, is that you? What are you doing secretly?"

Seeing his fifth brother's reaction, Zhang Qingzhu knew that there must be no one else at home, so he showed his body with a smile. "Second brother, fifth brother, I'm back. Miss me?"

Zhang Qingmu with a chinese character face said with a smile. "Well, think about it, just come back."

Zhang Qingshui deliberately laughed at him and said, "Yo, you still know how to come back. I heard the fourth brother say that you are in that Liang Han's house. It's been a very nourishing life, and there's food and drink without having to work."

Zhang Qingzhu smiled and asked them, "Where has our mother gone? Are you two at home?"

Zhang Qingshui told him in detail.

He looked at the whereabouts of the family,"My mother accompanied father to visit. Your sister-in-law was ill, and your elder brother accompanied him back to his mother's house, and Xiu'er also went with him. The third and fourth brothers went to chop wood, Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi didn't know what little secrets they had, so they all went out. As for the third sister-in-law, they went out to visit."

Zhang Qingmu smiled and said to him, "Hurry up and put things in the house and join us. I'm weaving baskets, seeing how diligent you are, mother can say a few words less to you when you come back."

"I'll lie to me for help. I'll put my things away first." Zhang Qingzhu carried his things into the restinghouse with a smile.

There are four rooms in their house, the other three, his parents and his two brothers who are married live in one each, and their five brothers who are not married sleep in this west room.

As soon as you enter the room, you can see a large kang with stacks of quilts stacked on it, which are the quilts of several of them. The brothers slept side by side for five nights. Because there were so many people, they had to talk for a while before they could calm down. It was very lively. They have been doing this for all these years.

Zhang Qingzhu put his things away, and looked at his quilt first. Seeing that it seemed to have been exposed to the sun, he thought that he knew that he would come back today and dry the quilt ahead of time. Zhang Qingzhu went out happily.

Zhang Qingzhu took a small stool and sat next to his second brother, picked up the cut bamboo strips, and started to weave baskets. This is when they take advantage of the slack season to make some baskets and sell them. Although they are not very valuable, every penny they earn is worth every penny.

Zhang Qingzhu asked Zhang Qingshui, "Fifth brother, sister-in-law has returned to her mother's house. Who will help my mother to cook at noon?"

Zhang Qingshui smiled and said, "I don't know, it won't be the third sister-in-law anyway."

Zhang Qingzhu glared at him, angrily, he said, "Why do you mention her?"

The Zhang family's eight brothers are close relatives, and the family is also considered a filial father and son. But there may be one or two disharmonious factors in every family, and it is his third sister-in-law Xue Chunlian who makes their family uneasy.

Xue Chunlian was already twenty years old when she married Zhang Qinglin. So big and not married yet, it can be seen that there are still some reasons.

And the reason why she is not easy to marry is that she is ugly, and she is a person who is notoriously bad-mouthed. A big girl who is not married can tell the right and wrong of other men.

Later, his parents saw that the girl was getting bigger and bigger, and it was getting harder and harder to marry, so they took the idea of ​​the famous poor family Zhang family.

Although his daughter is not very good, he thinks that the Zhang family's son will marry without the gift.

There are many sons in the Zhang family.

Except for Zhang Qingmu, who has broken his appearance, the others are all very upright and good-looking.

However, apart from the married eldest Zhang Qingshan and the broken-looking second eldest Zhang Qingmu, only the third eldest Zhang Qinglin and the fourth eldest Zhang Qingyuan can match Xue Chunlian in age.

The angry Zhang Qingyuan was unwilling to make do with it.

When the matchmaker came to the door, he declared that he did not want to get married, so Xue Chunlian chose Zhang Qinglin.

After Xue Chunlian married into the Zhang family, her temperament did not restrain at all.

And because he married not only confiscated Zhang's gift money, but also brought a good dowry, and his waist was very straight.

Thinking that the Zhang family can't afford to marry a wife, and they don't dare to divorce themselves, so they can do whatever they want.

In the first few years, she was really good at putting on a show.

She didn't do any work at home. Her parents-in-law didn't care about it, and her husband had to suppress it. It's just that the boss can't give birth to a child every year, and his temper is a little restrained.

Speaking of the Zhang family's daughter-in-law, none of them are as fertile as Wang's.

Xue Chunlian had not given birth for seven years, while Fang Rong, the eldest daughter-in-law, had only given birth to a daughter.

Fang Rong injured her body when she gave birth to her daughter Zhang Xiuxiu, and she has never been pregnant again.

Now Zhang Xiuxiu is eleven years old, and it seems that the eldest Zhang Qingshan has no son.

However, the relationship between the husband and wife is good.

Zhang Qingshan feels that he has eight brothers.

Even if he has no sons, it is a big deal which brother will have more sons in the future.

It's just that this year has been dragged down for so many years, and the family has not imported any children, which is really worrying.
