"Dad, slow down, be careful of falling."

Caiji went to chase Lin Yi unsteadily, and his swaying body looked like he might fall down at any time. The anxious Cai Er Niang didn't have time to take off her apron and shouted Lin Zhu to chase them out.

Although Lin Zhu didn't know what was going on, he knew that the silver on the table must have been taken away by Lin Yi.

She chased after Cai Erniang, and saw Cai Er stumbling under her feet and almost falling.

"Mother, what's going on? Did the uncle take the money? How did you get it? ”

Catching up with the second lady of the cabbage, Lin Zhu hurriedly asked.

Cai Erniang's face turned pale, and her lips trembled for a long time: "Yes, Zhu'er, silver, the silver was taken away by your uncle." The mother went to the back of the house to pick up firewood and burn the kang, and I don't know when your uncle came in, and when he saw the silver on the table, he took it and left, and walked to the door to say that he borrowed it first. What kind of person is your uncle, the silver has not filled the black hole in his hand. ”

When the silver arrived in Lin Yiyi's hand, it was like in the hands of a robber, and the silver would not fall well when it was gone.

Lin Zhu raised his eyes and saw that there was still Lin Yiyi's shadow there.

She ran a few steps to catch up with Caiji and said, "Dad, forget it, don't chase it." I don't know where he went. Why don't we go over there? ”

Just chased out of the gate, it seemed that I saw him descending the slope. I should have gone home first.

Cai Er ran a few steps, the wine was on his head, he had a bitter red face, slapped his face with a thick fat slap, and said while beating: "It's all my fault, what do you show well?" Ten taels of silver. ”

Cai Erniang's tears flowed down her cheeks.

She took Caier's hand and said, "If you are in charge, don't fight." We're going to come back. His boss is old and does not provide for his old age. Small doesn't matter how small it is. We don't owe him, why should he take the hard-earned silver of our family of three? Let's go, let's go to the mother to comment. Over the years, we've helped them enough. ”

She was really angry, these ten taels of silver were the hard-earned money that a family of three had been busy for several days, and her daughter sent it to others.

Just left a sentence and left. When it is said to be borrowed, everyone knows whether it is borrowed or not.

Ten taels of silver, not a small amount.

The three of them hurriedly went to the Xiezhuang pit.

Walking into the dilapidated door, I saw Lin Zhang standing bent over in front of the door from a distance, fiddling with something. The toddler Little Noble is tossing and turning under his feet.

Cai Er shouted loudly, "Mother......." ”

Lin Zhang's fat body turned around very flexibly. A smile broke out of the face of the pancake full of meat. said again and again: "The second daughter is here, and the second daughter-in-law is here?" Didn't your eldest brother ask him to invite you over? Where did he die? ”

Caiji saw Lin Zhang's and saw her again with rare enthusiasm. I couldn't say what I had just thought about for a while. A thin face was flushed. The old man said, "Big brother." Eldest brother....... ”

Lin Zhang picked up Xiao Laibao. He said, "Your eldest brother is a wild thing, let him go." You're all here. Mother will tell you: Daliang's marriage is decided, at the beginning of April. This is your eldest nephew's marriage, and your little bit is expressed. My mother knew too much, and you couldn't take it out, so she gave five taels of silver and a hundred catties of wheat. said that your eldest nephew got married, and you, who are uncles and aunts, have to make cotton clothes and quilts for them. However, you also know that the people who make cotton clothes and quilts, you should tear up the cloth, buy the cotton and let the third family do it. ”

After speaking, he saw that the Noble in his arms was not honest, and patted his little buttocks a few times and said, "Your eldest brother is married, what are you tossing here, obediently let grandma hold it." When you grow up, let your second uncle marry you a daughter-in-law. ”

Lin Zhang's face is happy to marry his grandson's daughter-in-law. I can't say anything when I say it.

When Cai Er Niangzi saw her mother-in-law, she didn't dare to look up regardless of whether her face was stretched or not.

It's clear that he came to ask for silver, but the silver hasn't been asked for yet, so how did it become an apportionment expression.

She took away all the monthly rations she earned, and she also had to share the expenses of getting married, which is also reasonable.

Lin Zhu rushed forward and said loudly: "Grandma, my family's silver and grain have been taken away by you every month, five taels of silver and one hundred catties of wheat, where are we going to get it." ”

Lin Zhang's cloudy eyes paused, didn't answer Lin Zhu's words, and stared at Cai Er: "Second child." , the mother worked hard to pull the three of you brothers up, the eldest and the third are not angry, and the mother depends on you. You said that your eldest nephew finally talked about his daughter-in-law, and Yun'er only got the bride price money in exchange, and the family's silver was all spent. Your sister-in-law is looking for death and life, and you said that your mother won't let you go out. Dick. If you can't get the silver and wheat, your mother will only have a dead end. ”

After speaking, he shed a few old tears.

What she said was not entirely exaggerating the facts, and she wanted to force her second son to pay. Tears also come from the heart. After returning from the vegetable garden, she already knew her status in the family, that is, she took silver and grain from the second child's family every month.

The eldest daughter-in-law is not always with her like before, she always doesn't give her a good face for Lin Yun to marry a fool, and she doesn't dare to say it. I'm afraid that she will seek death and life.

The third daughter-in-law got cheap, although she was more deferential to her, but she was on guard everywhere, for fear that she would beat Lin Duo's idea.

She knew that she could only maintain her position as the head of the family if she got something from the second child that could satisfy them all.

Cai Er's mother has always been obedient, and he can't see his mother being wronged. When I saw her tears, I forgot what I was here for.

I didn't want to agree: "Mother, don't worry, my son will definitely find a way." How can Liang become a family has to be lively, and our family has not done anything over the years, so we have invited all our relatives here. ”

Lin Zhang wiped away his tears and said, "Second child,." Mother knows that only you can be trusted. will tell the girder to serve you well in the future. ”

Cai Er Niangzi began to wipe away tears. The silver was snatched away by Lin Yiyi, and he took out the money.

But he didn't dare to say it. There is a mother-in-law, there is a man, and she doesn't speak.

Lin Zhu couldn't help it, this Lin Zhang just wanted to force his father and mother to death. I know that my father has no money in his hand. I want him to come out.

Is Daddy her own?

She walked in front of Lin Zhang's again and said loudly: "Grandma, if you want my father to take the money, my father will have it too." We can't pay this money, you go and ask my uncle for it, he has money. “

Lin Zhang's family was a little concerned about Lin Zhu, and she knew that she couldn't afford to mess with this money-losing goods now. 、

It's not like she said, holding Noble and turning to look at Cai Er and saying, "Second child." My mother knows that I have suffered you, but my mother has no choice. You also know that your eldest brother is unreliable. Asking him for money is not asking for his life. Mother can tell you, don't give him money when you give it. Give it to him and it's gone. ”

This old woman. It's the honest dad who eats it.

She stepped forward again to block in front of Lin Zhang's and said, "Grandma, my uncle ...... just now." ”

The rest of the sentence was not finished. The mouth was blocked by Nanaji's rough big hand. This daddy. I didn't dare to say it, and I didn't let her say it.

She struggled hard to move Caier's big hand, but Caier didn't relax at all, and said in her mouth: "Mother, if there is nothing else." Let's go back first. ”

Then the forest trees were half-dragged and half-pulled out. Cai Er Niangzi didn't dare to speak. I had to follow behind.

Lin Zhang stared at the backs of the three of them, revealing a treacherous and helpless wry smile.

She didn't know about her eldest son snatching the silver, and thought that Lin Zhu was going to say that the eldest son had not fulfilled his son's responsibilities.

The eldest son and the third son, of course, she knew that it was unreliable. Therefore, the second son was used to envelop the eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law.

These two daughters-in-law are not in trouble, and the grandson is here. The grandson can only be kept in this place.

It wasn't until the second son's family of three flashed out of the door that she patted her little grandson and said, "Treasure, take pity on your second uncle." But he should too, we are all surnamed Lin, and the money loser and the bitter gourd face are all ghosts and gods in which temple. ”

"Daddy,. Why are you gagging my mouth and not letting me speak! ”

Out of the gate, Caiji's big hand was released, and Lin Zhu stared at him with wide eyes and asked angrily.

Didn't she say it was good when she came, she was also glad that he drank some wine and strengthened his courage, why did he become cowardly when he saw Lin Zhang, and the wine woke up.

Caier looked at Lin Zhu bitterly and said, "Zhu'er, your grandmother is old." Dad couldn't bear to be angry with her. We all know that your uncle and that person, how can you return it if you take it? Speaking out isn't for your grandma to add to the blockage. “

Lin Zhu said angrily: "If you don't say it, will you let him take the silver for nothing?" That's what we earned so hard. If we don't take it, grandma wants us to give out the silver, just take it out, we will never say a word, but what to take out now? And a hundred pounds of wheat! “

Nanaji lowered his head deeply, and at this time his strength had passed.

Yes, I promised my mother,. Where is the silver?

Cai Er Niangzi began to sob again.

Cai Er squatted on the ground with his head in pain, and whispered, "Zhu'er, Zhu'er's mother." She's my mother! It is said that filial piety comes first. No matter how incompetent my son is, he can't watch his mother being killed. "Hey, I'm deflated again!"

Lin Zhu sighed secretly, once again defeated by his father's foolishness.

It seems that it will not work hard, and we have to think of a different way. Ten taels of silver can't be robbed in vain, and the hard-earned money of his family of three can't be squeezed out in vain.

She bent down and pulled up Caiji and said, "Dad, let's go back when we get up." Money is something outside the body, so let's just figure it out slowly."

No matter how angry you are, you don't want to see your father and mother in pain.

She had the money in her hand, and she took it out and gave it to her.

If you feel uncomfortable, just find a way to be comfortable.

This loss can no longer be eaten.

Caiji lowered his head and walked back, his steps heavy. Lin Zhu helped Cai Er Niangzi and said, "Mother, don't be sad, isn't it just five taels of silver." Leave it to me. Don't worry, we will give the silver, but we will never give it in vain, I will definitely ask the uncle to give us ten taels of silver. ”

Cai Er Niangzi has always trusted her daughter, and when she heard her say this, she slowly stopped sobbing and said, "Zhu'er, what can you do?" Your uncle is a person who doesn't even recognize his own mother for the sake of silver. ”

Lin Zhu confidently patted Cai Erniang's shoulder and said, "Mother, you just have to rest assured, my daughter has her own clever plan." ”

After coaxing the two of them, Lin Zhu returned to his house and thought about it.

Early the next morning, I walked out of the gate of the vegetable garden in full dress.

I didn't say where I was going. Didn't come back until noon.

Caiji put down the hoe in his hand and stepped forward and asked, "Zhu'er, where did you go early this morning?" ”

His daughter usually doesn't go out so early, he remembered what he said last night.

Lin Zhu said mysteriously: "My daughter went to do something big. ”

Caiji asked curiously, "What's the big deal?" Didn't I find your uncle and get the money back!. ”

He didn't believe that his daughter would get the money back from his eldest brother, but he really couldn't think of what big things his daughter would do early in the morning.

Lin Zhu said: "Of course not, your daughter doesn't have the ability to take back the sour dates from the monkey." But we'll get our money back. But we'll have to wait a few months. ”

Cai Er didn't understand what was going on, so he asked, "Zhu'er, what's going on?" ”

Lin Zhu smiled quietly. Say, "Soon you'll know." ”

After speaking, he turned around lightly and said, "I'm going to help my mother cut potato sprouts." ”

I'm going to plant potatoes in the next few days, so hurry up and cut out the seeds.

Caiji looked at his daughter's back suspiciously, and couldn't think of what was going on.

At noon, Cai Er Niangzi put down her work and went to the kitchen. Lin Zhu also got up and washed his hands and prepared to feed the pigs.

I had just finished washing my hands, and before I got out of the gate of the vegetable garden, I saw Lin Zhang's fat body squeezing in. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Second brother, second brother, it's not good, your brother was arrested by the government." ”

Arrested by the government! Cai Er was taken aback, in a few days it will be the day when the eldest nephew gets married, how can he be arrested as a father-in-law at this time.

She hurriedly threw away the hoe, hurriedly walked out of the vegetable garden, and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with the eldest brother?" Says who? ”

Lin Zhang's cloudy eyes looked at Cai Er pitifully and said, "It was the second dog in the town who said it." said that your eldest brother had a dispute with someone when he was gambling, beat someone, was reported to the official, and let the official arrest him. Second child, Da Liang is about to get married, how can he enter the board room at this time? You are familiar with the housekeeper of Yan Mansion, and ask someone to intercede. ”

Gambling again? or take your own money.

Cai Er was angry in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it directly, so he had to bow his head and agree: "Mother, you don't have to worry about it." , you go back first, and I'll go and ask the iron butler. ”

That being said, he actually has no bottom in his heart. Fights and brawls hurt people, but they violated the law of the land.

Although the iron butler has a lot of face, he is just a small subordinate in the vegetable garden, does he have so much face to beg him?

Seeing that his son agreed, Lin Zhang wiped his dry eyes and urged: "After you have eaten, wash your hands and hurry up." Time waits for no one. ”

After saying that, he dragged his fat body out of the vegetable garden slowly.

To be honest, she was very afraid that Lin Zhu would come over and say a few words to her, now she came to the vegetable garden for her son, and now she is really a little scared when she sees Lin Zhu.

Cai Er looked at the old lady's fat back and sighed.

He was a man of few words, and he really didn't know what to do with the iron butler.

I heard Lin Zhu say: "Dad, you don't have to go to the iron housekeeper, he will come later." (To be continued......)
