Su Niang came out, Ye Shifu's head was pressed lower, and Sister Wan was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Su Niang, don't get me wrong." I didn't ask you for a penny, it was Erlang who asked, and I told him the truth about ......! ”

Su Niang sneered: "Erlang is also your name?" What qualifications do you have to call him Erlang? ”

Sister Wan is obviously also a person who does not bow her head, stood up, and said, "Su Niang, what you said is wrong. Erlang is your brother-in-law, I am your sister-in-law, you can call him Erlang, why can't we call him? And Erlang himself said just now, we are our own family, we can call Erlang, don't you listen to Erlang's words? ”

Su Niang said coldly: "Erlang is my brother-in-law, but you are not my sister-in-law, so naturally you are not qualified to be called!" ”

"Yo!" Sister Wan also crossed her waist and said, "If you say no, it's not?" Then let me ask you, is this man your eldest brother? I am his wife, so naturally I am your sister-in-law. ”

Su Niang said: "Are you embarrassed to claim to be my eldest brother and sister-in-law?" Let's not talk about how you treat your father, let's just say that Dalang was seriously ill, and I went to ask you to borrow some money to see the doctor, how did you do it? Her face showed anger: "Your family has also opened an oil shop, and I just borrowed three taels of silver from you, can't you take it out?" What do you say about running a small business, with no savings, you can only support your family...... Da Lang died, but you didn't look at it, so what do you say? ”

When Chu Huan heard Su Niang say this, he suddenly understood something and frowned.

Ye Shifu had already raised his head, his face twitched, and he sighed: "Sister, it's all the fault of the eldest brother, you ...... Don't blame your sister-in-law, if you want to blame, blame me......! ”

"Of course I blame you." Su Niang's eyes were red: "You listen to her for everything, do you remember when I was a child, I wanted to eat the dates on the tree next door, you are so small, the tree is so high, although you are afraid, you still climb up...... But what are you like now, see for yourself ......! Speaking of this, Su Niang turned around, her delicate body trembled, and she looked very sad.

Chu Huan saw it in his eyes, and knew in his heart that although Su Niang was very resentful of Ye Shifu, she still had a brother-sister relationship, and her mood must be very complicated.

Ye Shifu's eyes were also red, and he said, "Sister, it's the eldest brother who is sorry for you." It's all my fault...... I've always wanted to see you, but ...... But I'm afraid you'll scold me...... I heard that you came to Fucheng, I ...... I can't rest assured, come and take a look, now that you are doing well, I don't have to worry. He stood up, looked at Chu Huan, and said: "Erlang, Su Niang married into your Chu family, that is, you are a member of your Chu family, although Da Lang went, but you are still in your Chu family, you will take good care of Su Niang ...... in the future!" With that, he shook his head, turned and left.

Sister Wan hurriedly said, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go home!"

"How do you get home now?" Sister Wan was anxious: "You can't freeze to death on the road, don't come back soon!" ”

Ye Shifu didn't pay attention to it this time, and only walked out, and Su Niang didn't look at her, but her delicate body trembled, Chu Huan sighed secretly in her heart, stepped forward, grabbed Ye Shifu, and said: "Big brother, it's dark, you really want to go, Ming'er hired a car to go back in the morning, and you can't leave tonight." ”

Suddenly, hearing the sound of footsteps, Fat Liu had already come back with a bunch of things in a large bag, and said loudly: "My lord, everything has been bought, where to put it!" ”

Chu Huan said: "Send it to the backyard." ”

Fat Liu sent the things to the backyard, and Chu Huan said to Su Niang: "Sister Su Niang, look at ......!" "It means let Su Niang cook.

Su Niang didn't speak, and went back to her room, looking like that, she didn't want to make this meal.

Chu Huan smiled helplessly, but Sister Wan was already smiling and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't bother her, I'll cook." He twisted his waist and went to the backyard by himself.

Chu Huan pulled Ye Shifu to sit down again, and Fat Liu quickly came back from the backyard, took out the remaining silver, and said, "My lord, a total of seven taels and five dollars of silver have been spent, and there are still these ...... left!" In his heart, he only hoped that Chu Huan would reward him casually, but Chu Huan took the silver, held it in his arms, and said, "Fat Liu, let's eat here at night, and then go back after eating." ”

Fat Liu was a little disappointed when he saw Chu Huan take back the silver, and when he heard that Chu Huan asked him to stay and eat, he immediately became happy, after all, he bought the dishes, and he knew that it was very rich, and it was good to have a good meal without silver, and said: "My lord, I'm going to help the helper, and I'm very good at killing fish and cutting meat." ”

"Good work!" Chu Huan nodded.

"No hard work, no hard work." Fat Liu said happily: "It's a lowly business. "I went happily.

Seeing that Ye Shifu was full of concerns, Chu Huan sat down next to him and said softly: "Big brother, Su Niang can't figure it out for a while, don't blame her." You are brother and sister, this is a fact that cannot be changed, and it will soon be resolved. ”

Ye Shifu sighed: "Erlang, I won't tell you, Da Lang is seriously ill, and I also want to get some silver to fund, but the money in the house is in her hands." Her father left an oil shop, and although I married her, the family lived on the oil shop, so ...... So let her do everything. I was too cowardly ...... at the beginning! He sighed again, looking helpless.

Chu Huan already understood the grievances of the two brothers and sisters at this time.

Ye Shifu married Sister Wan and got the oil shop passed down by Sister Wan'er's father, and because of this, plus Ye Shifu was timid and cowardly, Ye Shifu had no right to speak at home from the beginning, and he did not have any control over the family's financial power, so when Su Niang was killed, Ye Shifu had more than enough heart but not enough strength, perhaps because Sister Wan was not very filial to Su Niang's father, which made the brothers and sisters resentful.

"I got sick half a year ago, and my body is getting weaker and weaker day by day, but she spent her family's savings to treat me, but ......!" Ye Shifu sighed: "That's it, I won't talk about these things." Erlang, if you take good care of Su Niang in the future, I will be relieved. Looking at Chu Huan, he said: "Erlang, I can't stand you, you can still treat me like this, I ...... I'm so happy! ”

Suddenly, I heard footsteps next to me, but it was Rulian who came out of her mother's room and said softly: "Brother Chu, are you back?" ”

The little nun didn't wear nun clothes, but she looked very cute, Chu Huan smiled and said, "I just came back, how are these days?" ”

"Okay." Rulian nodded and said softly: "Brother Chu, Mother Chu let you over!" ”

Now she doesn't call Chu Li "mother-in-law", but "Chu mother", Chu Huan got up and said, "Big brother, you sit down for a while." When he arrived in his mother's room, Chu Li lay on the bed and said softly, "Erlang, are you back?" ”

"Yes!" Chu Huan sat down beside his mother: "Mother, how are you doing these days?" ”

Chu Li said with a smile: "Su Niang and the girl are very careful, and the mother is very good." He lowered his voice and said, "Did his eldest brother and sister-in-law come to the house?" ”

"Yes!" Chu Huan nodded.

Chu Li thought for a while and sighed, "Let's entertain you when you come." Su Niang only has such an elder brother, but he is misunderstood, blood is thicker than water, for Su Niang's sake, he must also treat them well. A few days ago, I heard your uncle mention them, the oil shop is not open, but to others, although his sister-in-law is mean, but he is still good to his eldest brother, used up the family's savings for his eldest brother to see the disease, now I think it is in distress, so come to ask for help ......! ”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "They are in difficulty now? ”

"Your uncle doesn't know the details, and he can't tell you clearly." Chu Li sighed lightly: "But even the oil shop has been cashed out, and it has always reached the point of exhaustion." We still owe money for this house, and we don't have a lot of money, but ...... But if you can, you can help...... ”

Chu Huan nodded, stretched out his hand to cover the quilt for his mother, and said softly: "Mother, the child knows how to deal with it." ”

At dinner, Su Niang didn't come out, Rulian was waiting for Chu Li's meal, and in addition to Ye Shifu and his wife, there were only Chu Huan and Fat Liu at the dinner table.

I have to say that this Sister Wan has good cooking skills, and the dishes she makes are full of color and fragrance, and the fat willow is not polite, even eating and drinking, it is very comfortable, but Sister Wan sighed at the dinner table: "Erlang, your house is really magnanimous, even the kitchen is very big...... With such a big house, why didn't you buy a few people? ”

Fat Liu chewed the beef in his mouth, and said: "Our Lord Wei Jiang has a bright future, what is this house, it won't take a year and a half, and there will be a bigger house, the front yard and the back yard are bigger, and there are rockery pools, as well as gardens, at that time it was the real style." ”

Sister Wan'er's eyes lit up and said, "And the garden?" That must not be cheap, right? ”

"Of course it's not cheap." Fat Liu drank a few glasses of wine and became excited: "But when the time comes, someone will naturally send it up, and if the adults want it, don't worry about it." My fat willow will guard the yard for adults when the time comes......! ”

Chu Huan glanced at him and said, "Drink more and talk less!" ”

Fat Liu didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly shut up.

Sister Wan said with envy: "Erlang is really promising, this official must be getting bigger and bigger." Erlang, do you want to employ people in your house? Do you think my eldest brother and I will succeed? ”

Chu Huan was stunned.

"This official will keep the front door for you, and your eldest brother can guard the back door for you." Sister Wan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I can cook for your house, you see, sister-in-law is okay cooking, right?" ”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law said that she laughed, three bricks and two tiles, where can I use people from top to bottom." ”

Sister Wan seemed to be serious, and said, "Erlang, sister-in-law is serious, if you agree, we can stay now......!" ”

Ye Shifu frowned, coughed, and motioned to Sister Wan'er not to say more, Sister Wan'er glanced at him and said, "It's my own brother, what are you doing outside?" If Erlang really uses us, of course we have to contribute. ”

Chu Huan hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, eat more vegetables, if you need help from your eldest brother and sister-in-law in the future, I will naturally speak." ”

"That's settled." Sister Wan said happily: "We can wait for your letter, as long as you pass a word, we will come over to help you do things......!" ”

After eating, Fat Liu was about to leave, Chu Huan finally called him, took out twenty taels of silver, and said, "You take these silver first, buy a few sets of new clothes for your family, and buy some New Year's goods...... But the ugly words are ahead, if the money is used improperly, don't blame me for turning my face. ”

Fat Liu took the silver, ecstatic, looking forward to it day and night, good things finally came, and he was even more determined to follow Chu Huan, and swore to the sky: "My lord, don't worry, if my fat willow comes to Hu, you can dispose of it." He went with a smile on his face, and rode on the road humming a song, although it was cold, but his whole body was warm.

This night Ye Shifu and his wife stayed to rest, Su Niang has not gone out, the next morning, Chu Huan hired a carriage, but to personally send the two back to the county seat, he does not have to send the two, but in three or four days it will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, go back to the county to pick up Li Fuzi for the New Year, Su Niang did not come out to send.

When they arrived at the county seat, Chu Huan sent the two of them home first, and took thirty taels of silver, only saying that it was Su Niang's meaning, and these silver were used to see a doctor for Ye Shifu, Ye Shifu felt ashamed and resolutely refused to accept it, Chu Huan persuaded a few words, and handed over the silver to Sister Wan'er, Sister Wan smiled, and even praised Chu Huan for having a conscience, and even talked several times about going to help Chu Huan work, Chu Huan could only vaguely promise to ask them to help if possible.

Leaving Ye Shifu and his wife, he went to pick up Li Fuzi and returned to Fucheng.
