Wang's shoes were not yet on Zhang Jie's feet, and Zhang Jie had not woken up from his dream of becoming a master when he was woken up by the voice of his grandfather at the door.

"Xiaojie, your mother."

When I got up from the bed in a daze, I saw that the sun outside had turned yellow, and I thought it should be afternoon at this time.

When he saw his grandfather and grandmother enter the house, Zhang Jie felt strange, you must know that the old man rarely comes to Zhang Jie's house, even if there is anything, he asks the Wang family to go to their house to discuss, like this The old couple came to the door together, Zhang Jie saw it for the first time.

"Grandpa, grandma." got up from the bed, Zhang Jie immediately moved two benches obediently for the two to sit down, and when he saw the Wang family who put down the work in his hand, he also looked puzzled, Zhang Jie knew that the Wang family definitely didn't know what the old couple was looking for her.

"Xiao Jie, let's go outside and play. The golden eggs and golden eggs are all catching grasshoppers outside, so you can go with them. The old lady who touched Zhang Jie's head said to Zhang Jie like a child.

What's the matter? Do you want to avoid yourself? The more mysterious the old lady is, the more curious Zhang Jie becomes, knowing that he can't talk back at this time, his eyes rolled, and Zhang Jie, who yawned, ran straight to the bed and lay down, and then yawned and said: "There were too many mosquitoes last night, I didn't sleep well all night, and now I'm sleepy, grandma, you said yours, I'm sleeping." ”

Glancing at Zhang Jie, who was lying on the bed and not leaving, but the old man, who obviously didn't take a child seriously, quickly shifted his attention to business, and groaned slightly, and listened to the old man speak:

"That's the case, in the early autumn, the school in the village is about to start, and now it's not long before it's full, I just think that, while the school hasn't started yet, the family will go to the old master's house first, and pay the cost of Haozi's school first, it's better to pay first than late, so that the old master can still look at Haozi more, and the future class will be more to Haozi to mention a little more, which is also good. The cost of Haozimeng's education, you have to make the old three families can't afford it, and we can make up for it. Your family is the boss, and Xiao Jie's father is not here, so I have to ask you to take this head. I think it's so good, your family will give two taels of silver, and let the other families make up the rest. ”

Zhang Jie, who could have been calm on the bed, sat up as soon as he was excited, and then looked at the old man with the lion opening his mouth in a daze.

Zhang Jie doesn't know how much money Zhang Jie's cheap dad has saved in the past few years, but Zhang Jie estimates that it will definitely not exceed one or two pieces of silver. After all, what my dad does is not a decent job, that is, he does his best for others in the county, and there is not much left throughout the year, and he has to hand over most of it to the old man and the old lady. There are even fewer left in the hands.

This can be seen from the fact that the Wang family even wants to learn from Zhang Jiemeng, they have to scrape together, give up their face to go to their parents' house to reach out, and they have to ask a few aunts to borrow it, but even so, Wang's greatest ability is to make up enough money for Zhang Jie to learn a silver ingot.

Yes, the cost of Zhang Haomeng's learning is a silver ingot, and now the old couple has a mouth, and they have to ask the Wang family for two silver ingots, and what is not enough for a few families to make up, it should be the remaining silver ingot, how many of you divide it, right?

At this time, Zhang Jie looked at the old man and the old lady's eyes a little stunned, or a kind of strangeness. After seeing Wang's silent appearance, Zhang Jie felt that this family was really helpless.

"Mother, you don't know how much money you have at home, in the past, Xiaojie and his father worked in the county and brought back the money, all handed over to the mother, I am a woman, even a copper plate in my hand is a baby, in the past, have you ever seen me willing to buy half a piece of sugar for the child to eat? In the third room, there are constant melon seeds and snacks every day, where do they get the money, we know it in our hearts, and it hurts to say it, but you two elders asked me for two silver ingots from a woman. ”

As he spoke, Wang, whose face was a little pale, looked at the unmoved old couple, then slowly lowered his head and said softly: "Your second elder is forcing your daughter-in-law to sell Xiaojie, and you can't get together two silver ingots." ”

"Do you have any private money, you know it in your heart, just no, the bracelet is sold, and there are more than two silver ingots, the words have been put here, tomorrow Haozi is going to visit the old master, you can do it yourself."

The old man with a gloomy face got up and went out of the house, and the old lady looked back at her grandson, who was looking at her with a look of astonishment, and turned to follow the old man out of the house.

When the room was quiet, Wang, who slowly lowered his head, sighed softly, and then disappeared as if he had lost an empty shell of his soul.

"Mother, why do I think there were two bandits in our house just now?" A few steps to Wang, and then Zhang Jie, who was lying on Wang's lap, raised his little face, shook Wang's arm, and then asked in a low voice.

Wang, who had no focus in his eyes, heard Zhang Jie's call, and his originally empty eyes slowly had a hint of brilliance, gently stroking the boy's hair, Wang sighed: "Children are not allowed to talk like this, it is your grandparents, and when your father hears you say this, he will definitely break your legs." ”

Seeing that the Wang family had somewhat regained some of his spirit, Zhang Jie, who was a little relieved, didn't care and said: "If my father knew that the old man and the old lady were bullying his mother and relatives like this, he would definitely be on our side, my father and mother and me, the three of us are a family, grandparents and grandparents, they are in the same group as the third uncle's family, let's ignore him." ”

Wang, who smiled lightly, did not refute this time, but looked out of the house with a lonely expression, obviously, since the old man and the old lady opened her mouth, this woman who didn't have much heart was already thinking about how to make up two silver ingots.

When the old man in the family spoke, no one dared to disobey him.

Seeing that the Wang family is in a predicament, Zhang Jie has slowly straightened out the ins and outs of the matter in his mind, no need to ask, the third aunt is not able to invite the old man to come out, the third aunt's greatest ability is to be conspicuous in front of the old lady, but in the end there is no courage to play in front of the old man, today since the old man has gone out in person, there is no need to ask, it is naturally the third uncle who does not listen to the outside of the window, and only reads the sage book in person, the whole family, only the third uncle can say that the old man can be moved, and only the third uncle, Only then can the old man pull down his face and open his mouth towards a woman from the Wang family.

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, hey, this is just a trivial matter of a woman's family, but since the third uncle, you are an upright scholar who is not cheeky, I am a child, what kind of shameless thing is talking about, it is too hypocritical."

kept saying some witty things around Wang, so as to distract Wang's attention slightly, only in this way did Zhang Jie feel that Wang's was not cut into an empty shell.

When he turned his gaze to the outside of the house, the corners of Zhang Jie's mouth were already slightly hooked. His eyes were deep, and a trace of imperceptible anger was quietly burning.
