082, The most stingy Mid-Autumn Festival gift

  The whole family of rice farmers finished harvesting after four days. After finishing, the waist and back were sore and darkened, so no one can underestimate the autumn tiger in early autumn, which can still dry people up.

  The Mid-Autumn Festival has finally arrived. In the anticipation of three children, Li Shufen took two children to the town early in the morning to buy things. At this time, buying sesame cakes is cheaper.

  On this Mid-Autumn day, the town was truly bustling. Even though it wasn't a market day, the town was still filled with people everywhere. Tian Yuan tightly held onto Tian Jia Bao and Tian Lu, afraid that in the crowd, they would get lost.

  Tian Jia Bao looked at all the delicious food, drooling, but never made a fuss. It was this very obedience that made Tian Yuan feel heartbroken. Thinking about it, she felt a pang of guilt - such an obedient Jia Bao had been driven to such a tragic end, taking his own life in rehab because of her mistake.

  At that time, a big sesame cake was sold for only 30 cents, which was much cheaper than those packaged and beautiful mooncakes. Li Shufen also bought some meat, as her own chickens and ducks were still small and couldn't be slaughtered, so she bought a fish and a small piece of pork leg instead.

  After strolling around the market for a short while, Li Shufen took her two children back home when it was almost time for lunch. By then, Tian Xiangxiang had already taken her son and daughter back to their maternal grandparents' home.

  This is the custom of several villages on this side. On Mid-Autumn Festival, married daughters have to return to their maternal home to give gifts. Nowadays, since the family has divided the land, Tian Xiangxiang has to give four sets of gifts, which makes her quite angry.

  "Mom, what's the point of dividing the house? It's so troublesome to even give a gift." Tian Xiangxiang also dared to complain to Wu Yugui, slapping a piece of five-flower meat on the table. "Zhou Zhongzhong gave me 5 yuan, you guys divided the house, how am I supposed to give this gift? During the holiday season, this meat is really expensive, several cents more than usual! 5 yuan can only buy these, just divide it up and let my brothers come over to take it."

  Li Shufen was taken aback for a moment, then made a "shh" gesture to the child and took them around to the other side, heading towards her own kitchen.

  Tian Wei put down the things in her hands and let Lu Lu and Jia Bao go into the house to accompany Tian Biao. Then she and Li Shufen were busy with lunch in the kitchen. "Mom, look at Auntie, usually saying that her family has a lot of money, but not much, only sending gifts a few times a year. She also dares to complain, Uncle is really bullying people and looking down on them, just five yuan to dismiss Auntie's Mid-Autumn Festival back to her mother's house to send gifts."

  Li Shufen put the meat aside and said, "It's Mid-Autumn Festival tonight, so we'll cook it later. By the way, your uncle and aunt have always looked down on our poor family. They've been married for so many years, how many times has your uncle come to our house? Look, during holidays, they only come here to give gifts, and sometimes not even the kids come back with them."

  She shrugged her shoulders and looked at him with disdain. "It's just a few dirty coins, what's the big deal? My brother-in-law is lazy, gluttonous and lecherous, who knows how he'll end up in the future? They say that wealth doesn't last for more than three generations, I think my brother-in-law isn't the kind of person to have such good fortune."

  "Who knows, your aunt's husband and wife have money and pension, this is indeed a good life." Li Shufen shook her head, "Forget it, we're not thinking of relying on your aunt's gift to make a living, it doesn't matter, if there is, then receive it, if not, also no big deal."
