Chapter 275: The House Thief
"Zhu'er, do you know who it is? What does it do? β
Cai Er Niangzi held on to the fence gate, looking at the gray front, her thin face was as pale as paper. Just now, Lin Zhu heard the dog barking and went to the door to take a look. A figure swooped out and ran out.
The mother and daughter hurriedly chased them out.
But they see nothing.
Cai Er Niangzi felt that her daughter must be dazzled. Or it's a subordinate of Yanfu who will do what. Usually no one will come to the vegetable garden at this time, if it weren't for Caiji going out just now, the doors were plugged in, and she would have slept.
But I panicked.
The vegetable garden is now the two of them with their daughter, in case the black shadow just now is a bad person, wouldn't it be very dangerous.
She did not express her doubts in her heart, so as not to frighten her daughter.
Lin Zhu thought the same thing. The sneaky on the big night must not be a good person. But he's already run away, don't say what kind of bad guy or something, it will scare my mother if you say it.
She rubbed her eyes and said, "I really saw my mother, that person is not tall and runs fast."
Don't say the bad guys, but the things must be said, so that the mother is a little mentally prepared to be vigilant, she can be very willing to see a black figure.
The mother and daughter stood at the door and watched for a while, the night breeze blowing. The empty fields are immersed in twilight. The gate of the vegetable garden is opposite the back door of the Yan Mansion, although the two of them are a little scared, but they know that there are people living on the side of the back door of the Yan Mansion, if there is really a danger to shout a voice, someone will definitely come out,,
Waited for a while, nothing. Lin Shu felt a little cold. I was also sleepy, thinking that maybe it was a foreign thief who didn't know the fame of Yanfu, and wanted to try his luck, but his back was discovered, and since he had already run away, he must not dare to come.
She said a little lazily, "Forget it, maybe it's a thief." We found it and ran away. Mother, let's go back. β
In fact, she was muttering in her heart, the vegetable garden is always safe, what thief would be so bold as to come here to steal.
And nothing can be stolen. You can only steal some dishes that can only be eaten when they are cooked.
Suddenly. She felt orange in her heart. Hurriedly ran into the house. Cai Er Niangzi didn't know what was going on, and she also trotted behind.
ran back to the house, and sure enough, he saw Lin Sangen rummaging around inside.
It is indeed a thief, a thief.
Lin Lin shouted: "Third uncle." You. What are you doing? β
Lin Sangen was bowing his head and flipping. When I heard the voice, I was stunned. The cat, which didn't raise its head, rushed forward violently with its waist, pushed away the forest and ran out. almost knocked down the oncoming Caier Niangzi.
Cai Erniang was stunned. stared at Lin Sangen's back stupidly for a while.
Only then did he reduce loudly: "Who?" What are you doing?"
Lin Sangen had already jumped out of the gate like a rabbit.
"Who else? My third uncle. I've never seen such a shameless person. β
The forest plant that chased out said something delicious.
"You, your third uncle. He, what is he here for? When did it come? β
As soon as she heard that it was Lin Sangen, Cai Erniang was a little confused, and her bitter eyes were churning incomprehensibly.
This mother is also very honest, and she hasn't seen it yet.
had to tell the ground clearly: "What can he do, it's not that he is worried about the five taels of silver." I think he must have heard it; The conversation between my father and my grandmother just now lured us out and snuck us in. This third uncle should also be cured. The rabbit still doesn't eat the grass next to the nest, and the thief in the nest. β
Cai Erniang realized that the little uncle was a thief for five taels of silver.
She raised the corners of her eyes angrily and scolded: "Okay, you damn Lin Sangen, you actually came to steal your brother and sister-in-law." You don't know how pitiful your brother and sister-in-law are, these five taels of silver are for your eldest nephew to marry his daughter-in-law, you stole it, and told your brother and sister-in-law to chop off her fingers. Let's go to your grandmother for commentary. β
The mother is really honest and respectable, if Lin Zhang's family had a way to have a tutor, Lin Sangen would not be so stealing chickens and dogs. If you ask her to judge, you might even be bored.
She snorted through her nose and said, "What's the use of looking for her, it's not just a few words." Maybe they will scold us for being too careful. Mother, hurry up and see if the silver is still there. If the money is there, don't make a noise for now, and then the daughter will find a way to cure him. β
Cai Erniang came back to her senses completely, and hurriedly entered the house to see the place where the silver was stored. It's still there. Let out a long sigh.
It's a shame that my daughter reminded me to move the place just now, otherwise it would just be pressed under the kang mat, and it wouldn't be discovered all at once.
The mother and son didn't dare to fall asleep, staring at the oil lamp and waiting for Caier to come home.
Cai Er discussed with Lin Zhang for a long time. Lin Zhang's calculations came and went, if Cai Er took five taels of silver to invite relatives, the family would have no money to buy a banquet, and no money to buy things for grandchildren and daughters-in-law.
finally stared at Cai Er and said: "Second child, my mother has been competitive all her life, so she wants the family to have food and clothing, and watch her grandson get married and hug her great-grandson." Our family hasn't had a happy event for so many years, and my mother still thinks about the excitement of the eldest grandson's marriage. But no matter how good you think about it, money is a hard commodity, and a penny is difficult to defeat a hero. It's lively how to do without silver. Dick. See if you can think of another way. Borrow some money to ask for a relative? β
After speaking, a pair of cloudy old eyes looked at Caiji pitifully.
Watching the dishes is two heartbreakingγ
According to his usual temperament, he must have agreed. But now he just bowed his head and didn't say a word,
He knew in his heart that he didn't have the ability to find money from relatives to ask for money, and it was only to cause trouble for his daughter to agree to it for a while.
It's still the daughter who is right, don't promise if you don't have the ability.
Cai Er was silent, Lin Zhang waited hopefully for a while, and thought that Cai Er would agree as usual, no matter how honest his son is, he is also the head of the family, as long as his son agrees, his daughter-in-law will be easy to say. No matter how difficult the money is, you can only stare dryly.
But after waiting for a pillar of incense, Cai Er didn't raise his head.
She has experienced the vicissitudes of life in her heart, and this most honest and obedient son is no longer as obedient as before. He has his own judgment.
It seems that this wishful thinking was miscalculated.
Her eyes paused for a long time, and finally she let out a long sigh. Still holding out a little hope, he said, "Second." What my mother said, think about it again. There are still a few uncles and nephews in your hometown, and it seems unreasonable for Daliang to marry and not invite his family. β
It really doesn't seem reasonable for the eldest grandson to marry and not invite the old family.
Cai Er knew that he really didn't have this ability. continued to lower his head and said, "Mother, it's not that my son doesn't want to do it. You always know that your son is honest and filial, and usually his mother takes away all the silver rations, and his son doesn't say anything. Both of them complained that their sons listened to their mothers too much. They worked hard to earn everything to feed here, and the son pretended not to hear and ignore them, and only lived on black vegetables and vegetables. But our own mother took it away and said the past. If we don't have it, where do you let your son find it? The son will not steal or rob. My son will tell you the truth, just five taels of silver and one hundred pounds of wheat. It's still the face of Zhu'er. Ay. In the past few years, if it weren't for Zhu'er's cleverness and cleverness, his son's family of three wouldn't know if they would have survived. Mother, you can't force your son to death in order to marry a daughter-in-law for Daliang. β
Others are honestly speaking from their hearts.
In recent years, if it weren't for the forest plant, it would be likable. Childe can afford it. A couple of stewards from the kitchen helped. There is no black noodles, where can I hold up if I only eat vegetables.
Lin Zhang was speechless when he was choked by his son.
The son told her in disguise that all the hard-earned silver of his family of three had been taken away by her. The five taels of silver and a hundred catties of wheat are still the way that Lin Zhu thinks. Don't expect anything else.
Her cloudy old eyes fluttered and fluttered, and she finally swallowed back the swear words in her stomach.
Although she is unreasonable, after all, she has lived to be more than seventy years old, and she knows that it is no good to play tricks in front of her son at this time. The extremes of things must be opposed, which can only make her son more resistant to her in his heart.
The son is his own son, he can do anything, and he can't afford to lose money
Or use the trick of bitterness.
She wiped her cloudy old eyes very sensationally and said, "Second child, my mother knows that I have suffered you, but my mother gave birth to the three of you." Among the three sons, you are the most filial and sensible, which of your two brothers can be relied on. will throw a large family to their mother. Mother doesn't care, it's all the blood of our Lin family, hey. Mother is really bitter, you said that Daxian is growing his body, and Noble is still so small. Your sister-in-law and brother-in-law are not fuel-efficient lamps. Mother doesn't rely on you, who do you rely on? If your father hadn't left early, my mother wouldn't have been so bitter. Old man, why do you say that you will leave and leave, leaving me alone to live! β
Crying and singing,
Hearing this, Caiji didn't dare to raise his head.
Said in my heart: The bloodline of the Lin family? That can't kill him. He is also one of the bloodlines of the Lin family. οΌ
Cai Er has a clear mind today, and he never looks at Lin Zhang's suffering old face, so he doesn't have the bitter plan of the old lady.
The son is like this, Lin Zhang's seizure is not either, and it is not a bitter trick again.
knew that her son would not listen to her today.
After being stunned for a while, he got up and said, "Second brother, it's not early, you can go back first." Mother, think about it tonight. If the money is really not enough, the relatives in the hometown will not invite them. Anyway, there is a big building of Daxian Treasure in the back. Save a little if you can. β
Cai Er was eager to leave early, so he immediately agreed, got up and walked out.
For the first time, I rejected my mother's unreasonable request so clearly, and I still made my own decisions.
He admired his courage a little.
It seems that my daughter is right, and sometimes she has to learn to say no. He hurried through the rotten courtyard and out of the dilapidated gate. Only then did he look back at the main house where his mother lived and the courtyards on both sides. I should have slept by this time.
He was careful to close the door.
Only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief. This time, I finally didn't agree to my mother's request, and I didn't make trouble for myself.
The hazy air of the moon is a little cold, and the slight wind blowing on the face is very comfortable.
I was excited when I thought that I was going to make a lot of lanterns for Juxian Building, and those lanterns would be used as decorations to fill the elegant private room of Juxian Building.
Jin Xiaoguang Jin Gongzi praised his craftsmanship, the prince's son specially came to book, and now the shopkeeper of Juxian Building is also booked.
What my daughter said is wrong, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, as long as the craftsmanship is good, someone will appreciate it.
The craft you learn will come in handy one day.
He walked back slowly with his hands behind his back, and saw a person squatting under the slope not far away.
At this time, people's doors are closed, who will squat there?
It may be that someone from someone's family came back late, the door was closed, and the elderly and children in the family did not dare to be alarmed.
Xiezhuang pits are all old residents, and although they don't usually come and go, they are also familiar with each other.
He slowly approached, bent down slightly, and asked, "Who, why are you squatting here?" β
The man seemed startled, did not lift his head, squatted and ran a few steps to get up and run.
Although the moonlight is hazy, the vision is not clear. He could also tell that it was the third brother Lin Sangen.
This person who has no interest and has not grown up, he is forty years old, and he is still like this and is addicted to gambling. These days, Lin Yi went to the mill in Yanfu, and no one was in cahoots with him, and he didn't see his shadow for several days, how could he be here at this time. Why not go home?
He scolded loudly: "Third child, what are you running? What did you do to see the shame? β
Lin Sangen, who ran out of the distance, slowed down and swished into the yard.
What's going on? Caiji turned around and walked a few steps, planning to go back and take a look, but after thinking about it, forget it.
This third child is a gangster, he doesn't tell the truth in his mouth, and what he says is all crooked. It's better to leave it alone. There are mothers, brothers-in-law, and nephews in the family.
When I got home, Lin Zhu, the second lady of the vegetables, was still sitting on the kang and talking.
Then he asked, "Zhu'er, why haven't you gone to sleep yet?" Didn't you say you still need to move the peppers? β
The pepper seedlings in the wooden house are an inch tall, although the seedlings are growing well. But I can't see the sun.
Pepper seedlings are going to bask in the sun.
Lin Zhu quickly slipped off the kang and said, "Don't you wait for your father to come back?" Dad, our family has been burglarized. β
"Thief?" Caiji was taken aback. He hasn't been a thief since he came here. Thief, come to the vegetable garden to steal something. There are not many dishes to eat.
Seeing that he was suspicious, Lin Zhu said: "It's a thief." Ming'er, I'll go and tell Uncle Tie and ask him to arrest the thief and send him to the official. β
Cai Er hurriedly asked, "The thief was caught?" Where? Is it a child? β
If you want to send the official, you will be caught. A wife and daughter can be caught, it must be a child.
Lin Zhu glanced at the second lady of the dish who was huffing and said, "It's not a child, it's an adult." Not only adults, but also big people. β
Nanaji is confused, my lord? Lin Zhu is so weak, and his wife is also thin. The two of them together can't catch a thief.
Looking at the appearance of the mother and daughter, they didn't seem to be too nervous and afraid.
He asked puzzledly: "Zhu'er, what's wrong, tell my father quickly." β
Cai Erniangzi sat up from the kang and said, "What are you asking?" That thief is your third child. is such a big person, and he still steals chickens and dogs, so he needs to be ashamed. I really don't understand why your mother is embarrassed to take away our silver grain, why don't you take care of her precious son. β
"The third?" Caiji remembered the appearance of meeting Lin Sangen just now.
That's not what it is to be a thief.
Lin Zhu nodded fiercely, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's him, my mother and I can see it clearly." Dad, this matter can't be left like this, I have to go and tell Uncle Tie that I will go early tomorrow morning. (To be continued......)
