095 The Matter of Silver
Su Wang thought for a while and said: A friend said that he saw a person who looked very similar to my father, but it was a little far away from our side, so I thought that when the time came, I would take a time to take a look and recognize whether it was my father. Before it is confirmed, grandpa, grandma, uncle, I don't say nothing, lest you rejoice in vain.
Old man Zhang, Mrs. Zhang sighed.
The two uncles also frowned.
Su Yu asked the eldest brother: "Big brother, what did you say, shouldn't you wait until you confirm it?"
Su Wang said: When I leave home, I have to let my uncle take care of my mother and sister and brother, this matter can't be hidden, it's better to say now, that person may be my father, but ah, I can't say where it is, lest my uncle send my cousin and them to go with me, so it's not good.
So that's the case, and the two uncles nodded.
Uncle Zhang asked again: Are you here for this?
Su Wang shook his head and smiled: No, didn't the family buy the old house before, I thought, winter is coming, it's better to repair it, but I made a lot of money selling herbs before, so I thought, it's better to build another house next to the old house, my mother said that I am also about to get married, so I simply build a house first, and then repair the old house when the house is good.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the four people present became a little unsightly, although they said that they were relatives, but you had the money to build a house and repair the house, and you didn't even want to pay back the two taels of silver you borrowed?
This, something is not good!
Su Yu saw that their faces were not very good-looking, and immediately thought of the fact that Aunt Zhang did not tell the Zhang family that the two taels of silver had been repaid, so she said slowly: Hey, what about the eldest aunt, why is she not here?
Uncle Zhang looked outside the door and said: She went to cut pigweed, it is estimated that she will come back later, Erniu, why are you asking this?
Su Yu said innocently: I just want to ask my aunt if she gave my uncle the two taels of silver that my family returned, a few days ago she came to knock on my door in the middle of the night, saying that her uncle asked her to ask for money, my brother was still in the town at the time, and the next day I took my aunt to the town to find my brother to get the money, uncle, didn't she tell you?
Boss Zhang's face darkened suddenly.
Uncle Zhang's face also sank, he looked at Su Wang and asked: There is such a thing.
Su Wang hesitated for a moment, but nodded, and he said: Uncle, grandma, don't be angry, maybe your aunt forgot about it for a while.
Second Uncle Zhang looked at Uncle Zhang suspiciously: Brother, did you let your sister-in-law go out in the middle of the night? How can you go out in the middle of the night? Aren't you afraid of accidents?
Uncle Zhang's face sank even more: I didn't let her go out in the middle of the night, I only went back to my parents' house twice, and once went to the town.
As she was talking, Aunt Zhang came in with a pitcher plant, and when she first came in, she was still smiling on her face, but after seeing Su Wang and Erniu, her face turned green all of a sudden, and the expression on her face was not like crying, laughing was not like laughing, it was very awkward.
Su Yu saw Aunt Zhang, and hurriedly greeted with a smile: Auntie, you are back, didn't you say last time that your uncle urged us to return the silver, and also said that the silver was your eldest brother's life-saving money, and my uncle didn't seem to know about it.
Uncle Zhang's face became whiter and whiter, she looked at Uncle Zhang's increasingly cold eyes, and her heart chuckled, she reluctantly squeezed a smile: Daming, I took the money, my mother's family was a little difficult, so I borrowed it, I forgot to tell you about this.
Mrs. Zhang said with a dark face: Mother's family, it's your mother's family again, did you use it to help your eldest brother pay off his gambling debts? Didn't you tell me last time, don't help, the five taels of silver I borrowed before haven't been shadowed, this took two taels, are you the head of our Zhang family, net to my mother's house to get silver!
At first, she thought that this daughter-in-law was good, but then it changed, and she never expected that the eldest daughter-in-law's maiden family would become like that. At the beginning, it was fine, but since the eldest daughter-in-law and her brother learned to gamble, that day by day has become more and more miserable, at first their Zhang family didn't feel anything, just felt that it was not to be done, but later, the eldest daughter-in-law was looking for money from Mrs. Zhang, and desperately moved to her mother's house, but fortunately she found out, otherwise, this Zhang family really moved for her!
This happened more than once, so Mrs. Zhang had warned her eldest daughter-in-law several times, but she didn't expect that she would not go to the house to make money this time, but would go to Dachun to ask for it!
It's so hateful!
When Uncle Zhang heard Uncle Zhang's words, his face felt panicked, and he stared at Aunt Zhang without saying a word
The more angry Uncle Zhang is, the less he talks, this Uncle Zhang knows, she saw Uncle Zhang like this, her heart panicked all of a sudden, she hurriedly shouted: Xiaolu, come over and get the pitcher plant, cut it and feed the pigs.
Zhang Xiaolu is her youngest daughter, she will be fourteen years old after the New Year, she is the youngest daughter of Uncle Zhang's family, and she is still very liked by Uncle Zhang.
Zhang Xiaolu opened the curtain and walked out of the house, she was originally embroidering, but she was tired from embroidering, so she lay on the table and squinted for a while, she didn't even know that Su Wang and Su Yu were coming, if it weren't for Aunt Zhang's voice, she was afraid that she wouldn't have woken up yet.
She rubbed her eyes and walked to Aunt Zhang's side, and muttered: Mother, you don't know how to cut pitcher plants, I always let me cut them, and my hands are thick.
Aunt Zhang originally expected her daughter to help her speak, but this stupid daughter left with pitcher plants, and she didn't see the atmosphere of the scene at all, she immediately grabbed her daughter and said: Your cousin and your cousin came over, you didn't see it! Don't say hello yet.
Zhang Xiaolu saw Su Wang and Erniu at this time, she knew Erniu, she was a fool, why did her cousin bring the fool over, and she also had someone to take care of her, which was really annoying. Zhang Xiaolu rolled her eyes and said: What about Xiao Tao, let Xiao Tao play with Erniu, I still have to embroider, and I haven't had time to take care of a stupid ...... Two girls. Zhang Xiaolu is not stupid, she knows that Mrs. Zhang and her father don't like her saying that Erniu is a fool, so she changed the conversation abruptly.
Su Yu looked at Zhang Xiaolu with a smile: Cousin, I will accompany my grandmother to talk, I don't have to play with others.
When Zhang Xiaolu heard Su Yu speak, she didn't react at first, but then she suddenly jumped up and pointed at Su Yu and shouted: Aren't you stupid?
Su Yu still smiled and said: I'm not stupid for a long time, didn't my aunt tell you?
Zhang Xiaolu glanced at Aunt Zhang, and she asked strangely: Mother, have you ever been to your aunt's house?
Aunt Zhang was speechless by Zhang Xiaolu's question, she only learned today how unreliable this little girl is, didn't she come to help her, why was she distorted by the words of the second girl?
Aunt Zhang's situation is quite bad, she thought about it, lowered her head and walked in front of Uncle Zhang, she said: I know it's my fault this time, but after all, it's my own brother, I can't help it, I can't watch him die, you can help me this time.
Uncle Zhang stared at Uncle Zhang's eyes and asked: In this case, why don't you tell me in advance, if it's like this this time, you will take the silver in the future, I guess I thought in my heart, just say a few soft words to me when I am finished, huh?
Uncle Zhang's tone is particularly dangerous, the children are older, and he doesn't want to lose the face of the child's mother, but the child's mother doesn't have a score, although the eldest son and the eldest daughter have become relatives, but the younger son and the little daughter have not yet said that they are related, and several children of the second brother have also reached the age of saying kissing, although there is a lot of labor at home, but there are many places to use money, every time he is tired and tired to save a little silver, he is taken by this mother-in-law to subsidize his mother's family, at first he did not object, thinking that it is always in-laws, don't mean it.
As a result, I borrowed it so many times and didn't pay it back once! On the surface, he only owes five taels, but secretly owes more than ten taels, and he doesn't dare to tell his mother about this.
If you owe it for serious things, you owe it, but what is the eldest brother of the in-laws, it is gambling, as long as you get it, you will die!
After he knew, he didn't allow his children to go there, especially his son, who was not allowed to go at all, in case his son learned from his eldest brother to gamble, then he regretted that there was no place to cry.
Because of this, the child's mother also made trouble a few times, saying why not let the child go to see his grandfather, at that time he said: It's not that he won't let him see it, the child and his grandmother want to see the child, yes, then come to their Zhang family, can't you see it?
Aunt Zhang panicked: I didn't, the situation was urgent, I, I had to do that, I promised, next time I will never go to your sister-in-law's house to ask for money.
Uncle Zhang roared: This is not a matter of going to my sister-in-law's house to ask for money, but about you, without saying a word, secretly going to your mother's house to ask for money! Tell me yourself, how many times, the children's New Year's money, the money we earn by weaving bamboo baskets, the money we earn from hunting, and the money we earn from selling firewood! At first, I didn't care, I thought you put it away, but then when I got the money at home, I couldn't take out a single one, and I was not ashamed, ah!
Aunt Zhang's eyes were red, and she muttered: I don't want to, but that's my mother's house, do you want me to watch my brother die?
Zhang Xiaolu looked at her mother's appearance, and couldn't bear it, in fact, she didn't like her eldest uncle, she was a gambler, and last time she didn't even send her mother's silver in time, her uncle would have sold her cousin!
However, she didn't want to watch his father scold her mother, so she stood in front of her mother and said: Dad, forget it this time, my mother didn't mean it.
When Uncle Zhang saw Zhang Xiaolu, he couldn't get angry at her.
However, Mrs. Zhang didn't have this scruples, she said coldly: Forget it, how can you forget it, according to what your father just said, your mother posted more than ten taels of silver to your mother's house, which is enough for your second brother to marry a daughter-in-law.
Grandma, my mother knows that she is wrong, so you can spare her this time, next time, I promise that my mother will never use the Zhang family's silver to subsidize my uncle's family next time! Zhang Xiaolu looked at Mrs. Zhang pitifully.
Although Mrs. Zhang said that she loves her daughter Zhang Dachun (that is, Su Aniang) very much, she doesn't like a granddaughter very much, because this granddaughter is like the eldest daughter-in-law, she dislikes the eldest daughter-in-law more and more, and even dislikes this granddaughter.
Mrs. Zhang said unhappily: Your mother has said this no less than ten times, when did she see her change, she said it beautifully, and what she did was not a problem. Could it be that the silver of our old Zhang family was blown by the wind? If it weren't for the good nature of our family, we would have divorced a daughter-in-law like you a long time ago and stole the family's money, wouldn't it be a crime!
When Aunt Zhang heard Mrs. Zhang's words, she cried out all of a sudden, she knelt in front of Mrs. Zhang and begged: Mother, I was wrong, I really don't dare anymore, the money in the family is no longer in my hands, even if I want silver, where is it! Mother, just give me another chance!
Although Mrs. Zhang doesn't like this daughter-in-law very much, she is not a ruthless person, if she had a temperament like Mrs. Su, she would have let this eldest daughter-in-law get out of here! Therefore, when Aunt Zhang cried like this, Mrs. Zhang's heart softened a little, although she had a straight face, but her eyes were not as fierce as just now.
Seeing this, Uncle Zhang hurriedly said: Mother, you can't get used to her this time.
Aunt Zhang looked at Uncle Zhang in disbelief, what did he mean by this, did he divorce her?
After so many years of husband and wife relationship, is it fake?
Aunt Zhang stood up suddenly, she pulled Uncle Zhang and yelled: What do you mean, why can't you get used to me, why do I have to get used to me, do you want to divorce your wife, you say!
As soon as she thought that Uncle Zhang wanted to divorce his wife and marry her again, the fire rose.
She looked at Uncle Zhang, gritted her teeth and said: Okay, you, I said why are you so ruthless this time, it turns out that you have fallen in love with others, no wonder you don't want me anymore! As she spoke, she began to weep.
Uncle Zhang was anxious and shouted: I didn't! Don't mess around, you're always like this, change the subject, if you mess with me like this again, I'll really divorce you!
Every time it's like this, as soon as I talk about it, Uncle Zhang is making trouble, and in the end, Uncle Zhang's head hurts, and when he thinks about it, this matter is over, and now that he thinks about it, he is even more unhappy.
Second Uncle Zhang walked up to Uncle Zhang, pulled his sleeve, and reminded: Brother, the children are here, and they have something to say back to the house.
Uncle Zhang stopped the topic with a little embarrassment.
Second Uncle Zhang said to Mrs. Zhang again: Mother, you can take the two children to play with you.
After Second Uncle Zhang finished speaking, he smiled and said to Su Yu and them: Ah Wang, Er Niu, go quickly, Second Uncle will go and get you some food and drink, don't be polite.
Old man Zhang beckoned to Su Yu and Su Wang: Let's go, let's go to the house to talk. Alas, it's really noisy outside. Old man Zhang is a person who doesn't care about things, the key is that these are not in his eyes, but it really provokes him, it is absolutely miserable.
In the eyes of Aunt Zhang and Second Uncle Zhang, this father-in-law has always been a good talker, and it seems that Old Man Zhang really hasn't said anything serious.
Su Yu and Su Wang didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Zhang family, and the main reason why they said that the two taels of silver were not to be wronged.
Moreover, if they didn't say it at that time, the uncles still thought that they were a person who owed money and didn't pay it back, and Su Yu didn't want to do that.
Mrs. Zhang sighed, she said to Uncle Zhang: You can solve your own affairs, I don't care, anyway, it's your daughter-in-law, alas, what is this called, how can you be such an in-law.
After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she took Su Yu's hand and walked towards the house of the two of them.
Second Uncle Zhang patted Uncle Zhang's shoulder, and then went to the kitchen, there was tea in the father's house, and he was going to go to the kitchen cabinet to get some snacks, but after arriving, he found that the door of the cabinet was locked, so he went to Mrs. Zhang to ask for the key.
After getting the key, he just started the counter, and a voice sounded beside him: Dad, I want to eat too.
Second Uncle Zhang looked down and saw that it was Xiao Tao, this was his daughter, half a year younger than Xiao Lu, but two years older than Erniu, twelve and a half years old.
Second Uncle Zhang looked at the dim sum on the plate, he twisted a piece and handed it to Zhang Xiaotao, Xiao Tao stuffed the dim sum into her mouth in one bite, and ate it in a few bites, she looked at her father with blank eyes: Dad, more.
Second Uncle Zhang shook his head decisively and said: This is for hospitality, you can't eat it anymore. There is another sentence he endured and didn't say, his daughters are twelve and a half years old this year, and the general village baby can say kiss at the age of thirteen, and he can marry after the age of fifteen, but look at this little girl in his family, she is still like a child, she only knows how to eat. That's it, the key is that his daughter is too fat!
The material of the clothes is twice that of other girls, for this, Xiao Tao is often ridiculed by Xiao Lu, he knows this, but it's not easy to say anything, after all, this is a matter between children, he is not easy to meddle as an adult, he can only tell his daughter-in-law to let his daughter eat less, too fat and not good to say kiss.
It's a pity that every time his daughter-in-law complied and let her eat only a little, when he saw her pitiful appearance, where was he willing to let her starve, and as a result, it was like not speaking.
Alas, the more his daughter grew fatter and fatter, she was too rounded.
Zhang Xiaotao saw that his father refused to give it, and begged: Dad, give me another one.
Second Uncle Zhang shook his head and said: This is what your cousin and your cousin want to eat, it's not much, besides, if you want to eat, go to your grandmother's house and eat with them, they won't give it to you.
Zhang Xiaotao pouted: Grandma is going to think I'm eating too much again.
Second Uncle Zhang smiled: Your grandmother is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, she loves you, and she likes you to be rich.
Zhang Xiaotao followed Second Uncle Zhang to Mrs. Zhang's house, and when she passed the yard, Second Uncle Zhang glanced at the eldest brother, only to see Uncle Zhang take Uncle Zhang to the East House with a calm face, Zhang Xiaolu wanted to follow up, but was blocked.
Second Uncle Zhang calmly retracted his gaze, several nephews went out with his sons, and they were not at home, this time, no one could help the sister-in-law.
The sister-in-law is really not like words, in addition to the silver earned by the eldest brother, even the silver pinched in Mrs. Zhang's hands has been coaxed, she should be taught some lessons, otherwise, she really thinks that this Zhang family's silver is for her Deng family to play with (Uncle Zhang's surname is Deng).
When Second Uncle Zhang led Xiao Tao into the house with a snack, Su Yuzheng made Mrs. Zhang laugh, and everyone in the house laughed.
Even Second Uncle Zhang couldn't help but ask: Mother, what are you talking about, so happy.
Mrs. Zhang laughed and said: Erniu, this child, her mouth is really sweet, look at this cleverness, like when I was young, good, really good! In the future, Dachun will not be worried!
When Second Uncle Zhang heard this, he also laughed.
Zhang Xiaotao looked at Su Yu strangely, when the second girl came before, she would only giggle, and her words would only be a few simple words, nothing more than her mother, brother, sister...... The eyes there are beautiful, but there is a dull energy, unlike now, when you smile, your eyes are shining, and it is very beautiful.
Zhang Xiaotao suddenly asked: Erniu, you came, didn't your aunt come?
Su Yu nodded with a smile and said, "Well, my mother is at home, and there are guests at home."
What kind of guests?
Su Yu thought for a while and said: A friend, he is a doctor, and he is helping Xiao Baoye get sick, he said that Xiao Bao's illness only needs to take three more days of medicine to get better! This doctor's medical skills are good! And ah, he's still teaching Xiaobao to read and write, and I also learned with him yesterday, and I can recognize a lot of words!
Mrs. Zhang's thin fingers suddenly grabbed Su Yu's hand tightly, and she exclaimed: What, Xiaobao's illness can be cured? Really? Didn't that come from the womb? Can it really be smelted? Although Mrs. Zhang said that she didn't believe it, her eyes were full of joy.
Su Wang nodded and smiled happily: Grandma, it's true, Xiaobao hasn't been sick in the past half a month!
Second Uncle Zhang suddenly said: Since Xiaobao's illness can be metallurged, and Erniu's illness can be metallurged, can my little peach's fat disease be metallurged? Xiao Tao is too fat, and this has become a knot in his heart.
When Zhang Xiaotao heard Second Uncle Zhang's words, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she looked at Su Yu with blank eyes.
She also wants to be thin, she also thinks it's better to be thinner, she doesn't want to be so fat, she uses more cloth to make clothes than others, and she's fat, and she doesn't look good in clothes at all, alas, it's a pity that she is not easy to lose weight, she is just fat when she drinks saliva!
Mrs. Zhang glared and said: What a fat disease, our little peach is not sick, she is a blessing, it is good to grow like this, if it is a disaster year in the future, she will not die of hunger, at most a few catties of fat will be less on her body, how good!
Su Yu thought silently, this made sense.
Zhang Xiaotao heard Mrs. Zhang say this, and lowered her head in disappointment.
Su Yu stood up, walked to Zhang Xiaotao's side, took her hand and said, "Second uncle, my mother has also seen Xiaotao for a long time, so it's better to let her go to my house to play for a few days."
Zhang Xiaotao suddenly thought that the miracle doctor was at Erniu's house, so she nodded vigorously, pulled the corner of her father's clothes, and said hurriedly: Dad, I want to go to my aunt's house to play, anyway, my mother went back to her parents' house, and no one cared about me, okay!
Second Uncle Zhang also wanted Xiao Tao to lose a little thinner in his heart, so after thinking about it for a while, he nodded, Okay, then you go back to the house to pack a few changes of clothes, and then go with Erniu and them.
After Uncle Zhang finished speaking, he suddenly asked Erniu: You came over.
Su Yu nodded: Yes, I have been coming from Sujia Village.
When Zhang Xiaotao heard this, she wailed: Ah, I have to go, how far do I have to go, Dad, don't we have an ox cart at home, you send us there, okay, if I get tired halfway, my cousin and cousin can't afford to carry me!
When Second Uncle Zhang heard this, his face darkened, and he said with a straight face: Look at your cousin, who is not two years younger than you, how can she come, you are older than her, and taller than her, can't you walk this way?
Zhang Xiaotao said with a bitter face: Mother, I'm fatter than her, look at the meat on my body, even if my legs are thick enough, but I can't walk for long, grandma, grandpa, you talk about my father, look at him, and he still wants me to walk over, doesn't he want to exhaust me!
Old man Zhang smiled and said: Datian, you can send them away, anyway, there is nothing to do at home, and the bamboo chair can be made up at any time.
Second Uncle Zhang sighed and glanced at his little peach, then sighed and nodded.
This girl, she can't endure hardship, she can't stand it, and she does farm work like that, although Mrs. Zhang said that Xiao Tao is a blessed life, but who can say for sure.
After Mrs. Zhang said this, she suddenly looked at Su Wang again and asked: You said that you came to repair the house, not for the silver, that is, there is a shortage of people?
Su Wang nodded solemnly and said: Grandpa, grandma, uncle, it's like this, I won't hide it from you, I want to leave home in half a month, that is, to find my father, that place is a bit far, and the journey back and forth will take at least three months, maybe more, so I will definitely not spend this winter at home. As you know, the old house was bought directly, and it hasn't been inhabited for many years, and this year we have a big drought here, and the winter must be exceptionally cold, I don't know if the house can withstand the wind and snow this time, I don't dare to take risks, so I want to get all the things done at home before leaving home, so I came to ask my uncles for help.
Su Wang paused for a while, and said: In fact, building a house is not only for me to marry, if you repair the old house, it is a trivial matter to spend money, but my mother has no place to live, the Zhang family is too far away from the Su family, and it is not convenient, and it is even more impossible for my grandfather's house to live, so I thought, it is better to build a new house, and when the time comes, if there is really a strong wind and snow, then move directly into the new house, and I am not afraid that my mother, my sister-in-law, and brother will be frozen.
Old man Zhang nodded.
Su Wang's face sank suddenly, and said: Actually, I still have something to worry about, if I leave, there is no man in the family, Xiaobao is too small, not count, when the time comes, I want to repair the new house a little stronger, especially the yard, the two houses are next to each other, and when the time comes, a new yard will be built high, so that even if there are bad people, they will not be able to enter.
Second Uncle Zhang suddenly asked: Since you have the money to build a house, why don't you build it in the village, so that there are many people and it is safe.
Su Yu said: It's inconvenient in the village, at the bottom of the mountain, far away from the village, when the time comes, close the courtyard door, live your own small life, how comfortable, if it is built in the village, you have to agree with the neighbors, and then live, if you have a dispute over a little thing...... Alas, uncle, you also know that my mother is soft, and she can be coaxed by saying two good words, but the eldest brother was not there at that time, if something happened, it would not be easy to do, it would be better to be quiet and comfortable at the foot of the mountain.
When Second Uncle Zhang heard this, he felt reasonable.
Old man Zhang and Mrs. Zhang also nodded, and Mrs. Zhang sighed: The key is that your father is not there, if your father is at home, Da Chun is so aggrieved.
Su Yu smiled helplessly: Yes, if my father hadn't left four years ago, my family would definitely not be what it is now, I remember a while, our family almost starved to death, but fortunately, when I went to the mountains to chop firewood, I found a valuable herb, otherwise, I don't know what to do now.
Mrs. Zhang took Su Yu into her arms and said, "My poor second girl."
Su Wang looked at her uncle and asked, "Uncle, can you find time, okay, the salary of thirty wen a day, and the meal, what do you think?"
Second Uncle Zhang was surprised: This salary is quite high.
Su Wang said: I want to finish it soon, and I have to dig a well and dig a kiln at home, if there is no well, it is not good to carry water in winter, although the snow water can also be drunk, but after all, I am not used to it, and I don't feel at ease when I drink it.
Second Uncle Zhang asked: Okay, when will it start?
Su Wang said: The sooner the better, uncle, find a few more skilled hands, it is best to make the foundation deeper, the wall should be higher, and the kiln, I want to be bigger, I can put more grain, I am not here, the family will definitely not go to the town to buy grain, and the road will not be easy to walk at that time, I want to buy more things.
Second Uncle Zhang nodded and said: You can rest assured that the manpower is not busy now, everyone is idle in the village, at most I will make up something like this, or I will go to the town to work, the salary is high, and the food there is also expensive, so it is better to help you.
After Second Uncle Zhang finished speaking, he hesitated for a long time before he said: Ah Wang, you tell me honestly, how much silver do you have in your hand, is it really enough?
Before Su Wang could speak, Su Yu said directly: Uncle, my mother still has twenty taels of silver in her hand, do you say that this money is enough for a house? In fact, there are thirty taels, and he didn't say anything about the gold ingots, sometimes even relatives can't tell the truth, this truth Su Yu understands best.
As for twenty taels, that's to leave ten taels for self-defense.
Su Wang looked at Su Yu in surprise, how could the second girl say that she said the money, he thought about it carefully, and found that the amount of silver Su Yu said was wrong, so he was relieved.
Twenty taels!
Second Uncle Zhang and Old Man Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, were shocked, they had seen fragmented two, two, three, two, five, but they had never seen one take out twenty taels at once! Two taels of silver are enough for the farmer's family to chew for a year, let alone twenty taels!
Zhang Xiaotao's eyes lit up: What a lot of money!
Second Uncle Zhang heard what Zhang Xiaotao said, he had come back to his senses, and he solemnly said to Xiaotao: Remember to stuff this in your stomach, don't say it to anyone, not even your mother, you know.
Zhang Xiaotao nodded obediently.
Second Uncle Zhang looked at Su Yu and said: "Second girl, it's just enough to tell your family about this silver, but you can't just talk to outsiders, you have to hide it, you can't let people know, understand."
Su Yu's heart was confused, she nodded, and at this time, she realized that Second Uncle Zhang was really an extremely reliable person.
——
Zhang Xiaolu knew that her grandmother didn't like her, in fact, in the past, her grandmother was good to her, but because of the Deng family, her grandmother didn't like her mother more and more, and she didn't even like her anymore, so under normal circumstances, she didn't go to her grandmother's house, for example, now, she would rather go back to the house to embroider than go there.
She embroidered flowers, felt a little thirsty, the teapot on the table was empty, she carried the teapot to the kitchen, she poured water, just walked to the yard, she saw a person in front of her door probing her brain, she took a closer look, it turned out to be her uncle!
How did he get here?
Is there another shortage of silver?
Zhang Xiaolu panicked, her father and her mother had just quarreled over the matter of silver, if his father knew that her uncle had come to the door again, maybe it would be really difficult to drive her mother out of the door of Zhang's house.
Her father said that Uncle Deng was not allowed to come until the Deng family paid off the money, in fact, he was mainly afraid that Uncle Deng would bring bad children.
Uncle Deng's name is Deng Cheng, but because he lost gambling and was cut off a finger, he was usually called Deng Sizhi, screaming and screaming, and everyone doesn't remember his real name, only his nickname.
Zhang Xiaolu put the teapot on the ground and ran out of the door, she carefully glanced into the house, then pulled Deng Sizhi aside and asked in a low voice: Uncle, why are you here?
This little kid has no money, Deng Sizhi didn't want to talk to her, he asked directly: What about your mother?
Zhang Xiaolu glared: Uncle, you won't come to my mother to ask for money again, right?
Deng Sizhi said shamelessly: What am I doing if I don't want money, your mother, call her out.
Zhang Xiaolu said angrily: Uncle, do you have a conscience, my mother was severely reprimanded by my father and my grandmother in order to make up the money, and you haven't paid back the money you owed my family before, and now you are borrowing silver again! How can my house lend you so much silver!
Deng Sizhi snorted: Your mother is my sister, I am her eldest brother, she should give me money, she doesn't say anything, how can you be qualified to say me, hurry, stop talking nonsense, go and call your mother out! Or I'll beat you up!
When Zhang Xiaolu heard this, she became even more angry.
Beat her?
Her father never beat her up! It's just a broken uncle, or an uncle who only asks for money, why beat her!
Zhang Xiaolu snorted coldly, turned around and left, she entered the house and slammed the courtyard door shut, it was so loud that even Mrs. Zhang in the house heard it, she shouted outside: What are you doing outside, why is it so loud?
Zhang Xiaolu hurriedly said: It's nothing, my hands were a little heavier when I closed the door, grandma, it's okay.
Deng Sizhi saw that Zhang Xiaolu didn't report or say anything, and closed the door, he jumped to his feet in anger and shouted directly outside the door: Deng Zhi, you come out for me!
Zhang Xiaolu's heart sank suddenly.
Worst!
