Li Yuntian pretended not to hear the movement in the upper room, washed his hands and went to add grass to the horse.

Chen Xuewa glanced at Chen Xuejiao, Chen Xuejiao understood, and walked towards the upper room, she really wanted to see the reaction of Zhao's slippery autumn fox,

"Second sister, I'll go with you too." Chen Qiping followed behind like a little tail.

Chen Xuejiao took Chen Qiping into it and stood under the curtain to watch the excitement.

The whole picture is like a triage.

Zhao knelt on the ground with a look of shame, with obvious finger marks on his face, and his left cheek was already swollen. Chen Zichang was blocked by Chen Zifu, with an angry face, raising his right arm slightly, it is estimated that Zhao's face was hit by him. Chen Zigui and Zhang stood together, Zhang's face was smiling, and he had a posture of raising his eyebrows, followed by a string of three sons. Cai sat on the corner of the kang, as if the dispute in front of him had nothing to do with him, and rubbed his upright stomach with his eyes and nose. Old Man Chen was smoking, the ashes had been extinguished, and his face was calm. Old Mrs. Chen looked angry and twisted her head, Chen Xuemiao was frightened by her side and didn't dare to come out.

"Second daughter-in-law, all these things came out of your room?" Mrs. Chen's voice was quite calm, and there was irrepressible anger at the end.

Chen Xuejiao fixed her eyes and not only took a breath. It was the first time she had seen so many treasures since she came here. Under the kang, there were a pile of things that had been turned out of Zhao's room, including silver, gold collars, jasper bracelets, jade hairpins, delicate gold-inlaid hand stoves, fine silk fabrics, and many things that Chen Xuejiao did not recognize.

This kind of thing is estimated to be the first time that Mrs. Chen, who has lived in the countryside for a long time.

Ding Mansion is so generous, how did Xue Yao get face, she was just a slightly decent girl, and the reward was so rich.

Zhao lowered his head, and his throat trembled a few times. Swallowing saliva.

"This ......," Zhao said. saw Chen Xuemiao glaring at her, what could she do at this time, even if her mouth was sharp, it was impossible to say these things away. Mrs. Chen is full of these things in her heart, how can she be fooled with a word.

Her heart ached, these things were given to her by Xue Yao privately. She originally thought that Xue Miao would go out in the future. You can buy a beautiful dowry. She has always hidden these things very tightly, and last time Mrs. Chen didn't turn them out, but she didn't expect them to be turned over by Zhang.

Zhang raised his chin, who said that she was usually just a lazy and slippery Ma Daha, when it comes to her own interests, she is shrewd.

Something was in front of her, and she couldn't admit it if she didn't want to.

"Mother" Zhao's tears fell, choked and kowtowed, unable to say a complete sentence.

"You dead. With so many good things in your hands, you dare to deceive me. Chen Zichang's eyes were dazzled when he saw the gold and silver on the ground, and he stretched out his hand to jump out from behind Chen Zifu to hit Zhao.

"Second brother, don't make this useless." Chen Zifu grabbed Chen Zichang fiercely.

Chen Zifu despised this second brother in his heart, and now he knows that he is anxious, why didn't he blink his eyes when he borrowed loan sharks at that time.

Chen Xuejiao pursed her lips, although she didn't look down on the Zhao family in her heart. can look down on Chen Zichang even more. A big man, raising powder, visiting the kiln, and spending the whole family to borrow usury. The money is not enough, so he can't figure out his own way, but he shakes his fist at his wife and children.

"Mother." Chen Xuemiao crawled from the kang to Zhao's side and knelt down with her.

Chen Xuemiao is much more sensible than before, when Mrs. Chen used to play with the Zhao family, Chen Xuemiao looked indifferent, and this time she knew that she was protecting her mother.

A person is willing to protect the dearest person. It's not bad in the end. Chen Xuejiao's dislike for Chen Xuemiao is a little less.

"You and your mother lied to me." Chen Zichang raised one foot and was about to kick Xue Miao, but was blocked by Zhao, who was wearing a silver-white gauze skirt with a gray shoe print on his back.

Old Mrs. Chen looked at it coldly, and Old Man Chen turned a deaf ear to the fight in front of him.

Old Man Chen is sometimes confused and sometimes shrewd. It is estimated that he is also secretly annoyed that the Zhao family has private furniture, and when everyone is at a loss to repay the debt, she gritted her teeth and refused to let go.

Chen Xuejiao pursed her lips. It is hateful for the Zhao family to want to scavenge the silver from the big house, but her private collection of furniture is not necessarily wrong, if any woman meets Chen Zichang, she will hate it. Old Man Chen and Old Lady Chen were thinking about their son, so they were naturally dissatisfied with Zhao's behavior, so they let Chen Zichang beat Zhao without stopping him.

Perhaps this is the case in this era, where men's mistakes can be tolerated, and women who do not pay for men's mistakes are unvirtuous. Chen Xuejiao glanced at Zhao, hunched her back, bent over, lying on the ground, looking delicate and pitiful, and her heart swelled with sadness.

"The last time I went to your room, I saw something, you said that's all, there's no more, what are these? Could it be that you came out in the middle of the night? Old Madam Chen's tone was cold.

"I also said before, the second brother made trouble outside three times and twice, is it possible to know that there are people in the family who can make money, it seems to be true, the second brother is not an old hen in the house who can make money." Zhang was quite complacent, and she now had a sense of pride, looking at the gold and silver on the ground, and her eyes showed greed.

"You, you" Zhang's words were explicit, and Zhao turned red from his face to his neck.

Zhang snorted, stepped forward to pick up a hairpin, and stuck it on his head: "It's appropriate for me to wear this hairpin." ”

"You put it down." Mrs. Chen snapped.

Zhang put it down stupidly: "I can't wear it, if I hadn't gotten under the bed, this thing would have been hidden from everyone's eyes." The second sister-in-law really knows how to hide things, and there is such a small hole under the bed, if you don't look carefully, you think it's a mouse hole. Thanks to my careful heart, I pulled hard and pulled out so many things, and I don't know how many such holes there are in my second sister-in-law's house. ”

Zhang gestured to everyone and stretched out his hand to Cai's side: "Third sister-in-law, you haven't seen it, it's such a small hole, and the second sister-in-law can stuff things into it." ”

Cai smiled slightly, but did not answer.

Mrs. Chen glanced at Zhang, this is also a greedy mother-in-law, if she hadn't been staring at her dead eyes in the house just now, Zhang would have already touched the gold collar into her pocket. Zhang, as for the Zhang family, now regrets that he found something in the cave and shouted loudly. attracted Mrs. Chen to guard, and she didn't hide those good things in her arms several times. However, when he left the Zhao family's door, while Mrs. Chen was not paying attention, she took a box of white powder from Zhao's hairpin.

Old Mrs. Chen sat up straight, and Chen Xuejiao thought that this posture was to interrogate the Zhao family properly.

Really. Mrs. Chen spoke: "Second daughter-in-law, what else do you have to say?" ”

"Mother, these things are hidden under the bed, I have long wanted to tell my mother, but I have never found a chance." Zhao defended in a low voice, I'm afraid I don't even believe it.

"Bah." Old Mrs. Chen looked at Zhao coldly, "I wanted to say it a long time ago, why didn't you say it?" Who's covering your mouth or what's wrong. A large family is about to sell their houses and land for debts, and you still wipe your eyes and tears and say that you have no money. What is your heart made of? Do you know how to be filial? ”

Mrs. Chen retorted that every word of people is reasonable, even if she doesn't reason, she will break the reason, not to mention that now she is standing and reasoning, and she is even more unambiguous.

"Dad, mother." Zhao kowtowed twice, "I hid these things in order to have something at home in the future, and I used them for urgent use, my father and mother are old." If you get sick or something in the future, you will have more money when you use it. ”

Chen Xuejiao lowered her head. Zhao estimated that he was in a hurry, and he was a taboo to say this. The old man is most afraid that there is something wrong with her body, and she just doesn't open which pot to mention. Old Man Chen's eyebrows furrowed, and he didn't like to hear this.

Sure enough, Old Lady Chen became furious: "Aren't you cursing me to death?" Do you want me to die early in your heart, because you offer yourself in front of me every day, it turns out that you are looking for a few opportunities to kill me. I have four sons in a row. Three daughters, I'm dead, which child doesn't rush to bury me with graves, and you still need a foreign surname. ”

Mrs. Chen's words are heart-wrenching. The daughter-in-law cursed her in-laws to death, but it was a great unfilial piety. It is possible to soak the pig cage.

Zhao was so frightened that he trembled, and hurriedly said, "Mother, no, no, I said the wrong thing." I mean, keep the money for you and your father. ”

"I can use you for the elderly, my son and daughter are rushing to send me food and drink, and it will be your turn!" Mrs. Chen's anger grew stronger and stronger.

At this time, the more Zhao said it, the more wrong it became.

"Sister-in-law, it's not me who slaps your face." Zhang's added fuel to the fire, "There are so many good things, you just show a little bit between your fingers, and it's enough for our family to eat and drink." You just hid it privately, do you know why the second brother borrowed loan sharks to raise fans? It's not that you don't have the same heart as him, the second brother is really pitiful, the head of a house doesn't know the furniture in the house, and he is in a hurry to borrow usury. What are you doing with all this money? It's hard to be angry with the second brother, he wraps his powder head, and you wrap his white face. ”

Zhang's words were so ugly that even Old Man Chen couldn't help coughing.

"You're so ugly." Zhao's face flushed, "Didn't you wipe your teeth in the morning, the words were so unclean." ”

"It's because you're not clean, why don't you say I'm clean." Zhang's was complacent.

"Do you have this in mind?" Chen Zichang is going up and kicking again.

"Dad, milk, my mother doesn't, my mother is all for my brother." Chen Xuejiao cried and hugged Chen Zichang's legs, "It's all for my brother." ”

Zhao cried and said, "No matter what my father and mother think of me, I really don't have a reason to hide this thing for myself." Qi Lin is going to take the Xiucai exam next year, and after taking the Xiucai exam, he will go up, and he will go to Beijing to study for the exam in the future, which one does not need silver, I am afraid that there will be no silver to delay his future at that time. Aren't my father and mother looking forward to him? As for the unsightly things that I raised, this wall can confirm my innocence. ”

Zhao stood up and slammed into the wall, Cai sat at the end of the kang, reacted the fastest, and hurriedly went to pull. None of the others reacted, watching Zhao slam into the wall, Chen Xuejiao was afraid that Cai's stomach would hit her, so she stepped forward and grabbed Zhao's arm, and Chen Xuewa also went up and grabbed the corner of Zhao's clothes.

"Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law." Cai persuaded, "It's okay to say that things don't work, why are you looking for death." ”

"I'm so bitter!" Zhao leaned over Cai's shoulder and cried.

This trick is used well, although it is a bitter ploy, but it is the most effective. Chen Xuejiao helped Zhao to think.

"Grandpa, grandma, you have something to say." Chen Xuemiao cried, "It's hard to force my mother to death." Dad owes usury, why now all the fault is attributed to my mother, forcing my mother to death, why does my brother have the heart to study. ”

Chen Xuemiao told the truth.

Chen Qilin is indeed the weakness of Old Lady Chen and Old Man Chen.

Old Mrs. Chen's eyes flashed and she didn't say a word.

It was still Cai's who relieved the siege: "It's important to repay the debt now, hurry up and go to the pawnshop in the town to redeem it and see how much it can be worth." ”

Yes, I patronized the second daughter-in-law, but I forgot that it was serious to repay the debt.

Zhao cried blindly, and his heart trembled sharply. Although he knew that if the things were turned out, they would never be able to return to his hands, but Zhao heard with his own ears that he was going to take those hairpin gold collars as pawns, but he still couldn't stand it, cried a few times, leaned back, fainted in distress, and was put into the room by Chen Xuejiao and Chen Xuewa.

When Chen Xuejiao came out of Zhao's room, Old Man Chen had already instructed Chen Zifu to carry his things to the pawnshop in the town. (To be continued......)
