In the evening, the sky was dark, and the people of Duanjiazhuang left from the Honghe.

The people in the South Courtyard were eating, and Duan Yongyuan told Duan Wen about what happened by the Honghe River today, most of which Duan Wen heard from Ermao.

The night was dark, and those who had been tired by the river for a day went to bed early.

Parsley came together early in the morning, and suddenly felt dizzy, and the inside of her body was like being filled with lead, and she felt heavy when she turned over; Neither nostril is breathable, and it is not smooth to pump hard; There are also two balls of cotton stuffed in my ears, and I can't really hear any sound.

Her small cold still evolved into a severe cold.

She cheered up, washed her face with hot water, and was wiping her face with a towel when she saw Duan Hao coming in from outside the open gate of the South Courtyard.

Duan Hao, who was standing in the cold wind of midwinter, smiled like a spring breeze, "Parsley, my 1,000 yuan?" ”

Parsley was a little stunned, "I came back yesterday morning, and I will give it to your father." ”

Hearing that something was wrong with her voice, Duan Hao expressed concern, "Got a cold?" ”

"Hmm." Xiangqin replied sullenly, only to feel that there was a piece of old ginger stuck in her throat, which was hot and spicy, and it was very uncomfortable.

"Then I'll go back and ask." Duan Hao's attitude is a little unpredictable. Just as he came in a hurry, he went like a gust of wind.

Xiangqin was adding water to the pot, preparing to cook porridge, Duan Hao and his father Duan Laicai went to the South Courtyard together, and both of them had bad faces.

"Parsley—"

Hearing someone calling, Parsley put down the gourd scoop that scooped water, and came out of the kitchen, and before she could say hello, Duan Laicai scolded her with a good head and face-

"Parsley, I thought you were a good girl, how could you tell such a big lie! Haozi came back yesterday, and I only found out about the 1,000 yuan. He said he's going to give you the money, the 1,000 dollars? ”

Hearing Duan Laicai's questioning, Xiangqin suddenly felt that someone had knocked a muffled stick on the back of her head, her eyes darkened, and she replied in a hoarse voice: "Didn't I give you the money yesterday?"

"When did you give me money?" Duan Laicai glared.

Parsley's face turned pale suddenly, and she probably knew what was going on.

If you want to say that Li Rong and Mrs. Li came to her to blackmail money yesterday, compared with Duan Laicai, it is not the same thing!

Xiangqin's face was like frost, and she sneered in her heart, "Uncle Cai, if you are like this, I really don't have anything to say to you!" ”

"Then don't say so much, hurry up and get the money back!" Duan Laicai is not relentless.

Xiangqin didn't pay attention to him, but said coldly to Duan Hao: "Haozi, you hurry up and take your father away, if you continue to make trouble like this, it won't be good."

At this time, the movement in the yard woke up the people in the house.

When Duan Yongyuan and Duan Wen came out, they both looked worried, and their hair was also unkempt, and they were about to get up at a glance.

As soon as Duan Laicai saw Duan Wen, it was like seeing a savior, he immediately stepped forward, and did not shy away from criticizing Parsley in front of him, "Uncle, look at what kind of person your parsley is, taking our family's money, and not giving it to us!" ”

"What's going on?" Duan Wen was a little dazed.

Xiangqin snorted coldly, she didn't say anything wronged, Duan Laicai actually spoke first. It's really the wicked who sue first!

She stood at the door of the kitchen and didn't move, Duan Laicai thought that his calculations could escape everyone's eyes?

Duan Hao was so embarrassed that he didn't know which side to believe, "The money from selling fish yesterday, Xiangqin said to my father, and my father said he didn't see ......"

Duan Wen was stunned, immediately sobered up, glanced at Duan Laicai strangely, moved to the side, and moved away from him. "Come to Cai, we are a villager, and you still lie to our family?"

"Can I lie to you, what you don't have is what you don't have!" Duan Laicai blushed and had a thick neck, and he stubbornly stuck his neck, showing how justified he was. His eyes were scarlet, and he looked a little impatient, and his ‖greedy gaze swept towards Parsley, "Ask her, she must have hidden the money!" ”

"Yongzi, go and call your second master." Duan Wen didn't have a hard time with Duan Laicai, if Duan Wu also said that he didn't receive the money from Parsley, he didn't say a word, and gave Duan Lai a thousand dollars!

Duan Wen was angry in his heart, and Xiangqin was aggrieved.

Duan Hao couldn't stop looking at the expressionless parsley, as if he knew her on the first day.

Duan Laicai was upset and insisted on not leaving, "You guys hurry up and return the money!" ”

In less than three minutes, Duan Yongyuan called Duan Wu over, and even Duan Xiang followed.

Duan Wu is the village head, and Duan Laicai was about to ask him for a comment, but Duan Wen rushed ahead of him and spoke, "Xiangzi Dad, did Xiangqin give you the money from selling fish yesterday?" ”

"Given it." Duan Wu took it personally, a thousand yuan, a lot.

Duan Wen snorted a few times, too lazy to look at Duan Laicai's ugly face, it wasn't enough to disgust him!

He explained the current situation of the Southern Courtyard to Duan Wu, "Father Hao said that Xiangqin didn't give him the money, no, come to the door." ”

Duan Wu was dumbfounded, and Duan Xiang was also dumbfounded.

"If you don't give it, you don't give it, I can't lie to you?" Duan Laicai's voice was so loud that even the people outside the courtyard could listen to it.

Xiangqin can't stand such a person, he can be blamed on the head of a villager, so I don't know how he is to outsiders! "I handed it over to you with my own hands, and you ordered it several times in person!"

"I haven't seen you yesterday at all, where are you going to give me money!" Duan Laicai's voice was several times louder than that of parsley.

Duan Wu's expression was furious, "Haozi, bring your father home!" ”

"Duan Laicai," although Duan Xiang is more than twenty years younger than Duan Laicai, the two of them are brothers of the same generation, and they are not polite when they talk, "Don't be disrespectful to the old here!" ”

"Dad, forget it, let's go." Duan Hao glanced at Parsley resentfully.

Even if Duan Xiang didn't know what to say, he knew what Duan Hao, who grew up with him, was thinking.

He pulled Duan Hao's arm, like a cannonball, and started a fire on Duan Hao, "Mother, you are a pig's brain, what your father said is what, he said that he hadn't seen parsley yesterday, then let me ask you, where did the clothes on your body come from?" ”

A flash of inspiration flashed in Duan Hao's mind, and he recalled that yesterday he and Duan Xiang soaked in the Honghe River, like a water dog. Xiangqin brought money back, and when she came to Honghe again, she brought him and Duan Xiang a change of clothes.

If Parsley hadn't been to his house yesterday, where did his clothes come from?

Duan Hao looked at the panicked Duan Laicai in disbelief, and suddenly his heart was mixed, his face was hot for a while, and his heart was even colder.

Because of a piece of clothing, Duan Laicai's lies were self-defeating.

"That's how you get rich, right?" Duan Hao really wanted to rush up and fan Duan Laicai's face, but as soon as he moved, he was pulled by Duan Xiang's arm.

The life of the Southern Courtyard is gradually improving, and it is inevitable to attract such greedy people. However, a Zhuang person, Xiangqin didn't want to make everyone's face look bad, so he said lightly: "That's it, I'll treat it as if it didn't happen."

Hearing that her voice was shady and hoarse, Duan Wen waved his hand at her, "You hurry up and grab some medicine." ”

Xiangqin nodded, knowing in her heart that Duan Wen was deliberately trying to separate her. So she left the Southern Hospital and went to Dr. Liu's clinic.

As soon as she left, Duan Wu couldn't hold it back, and pointed to Duan Laicai's nose and taught him a lesson, "Duan Laicai, Duan Laicai, Xiangzi said that you are disrespectful to the old, which is not wrong at all!" You want money crazy, don't you? ”

Duan Laicai lowered his head, and felt that he was quite reasonable to reply, "Who doesn't want money!" ”

"Why don't you know about gratitude?" Duan Xiang glanced him up and down, and he had a strong feeling that Duan Laicai would bring the thousand yuan with him. "Then if it weren't for Parsley calling us to go to the Honghe River, would you be able to cover the thousand yuan?" After that, he turned his head to Duan Hao, who was speechless, and said, "Haozi, your father is like this, then what good will we have in the future, do you think we are still you?" ”

Duan Hao glared at Duan Laicai and gritted his teeth, eager to chew all the other party's bones.

He whispered to everyone and said no, and then took Duan Laicai home to settle the accounts.
