In the afternoon, Zhao Xiuzhi carried a big basket and rushed to Su Qin's house.

"Qin Niang, come on, look at what I brought you."

Su Qin stepped forward and opened it, and his eyes lit up with joy, and he saw a litter of puppies that had just reached the full moon in the blue sky, all of them fleshy. Because they had just left their mother, several puppies looked a little scared and huddled together and whined.

There were four puppies, three yellow and one gray, and the gray one had a ring of white hair under its neck, like a scarf.

"It's so cute."

Su Qin hurriedly took the basket, carried it into the house and put it on the table, and picked up a gray-haired puppy from the basket.

This puppy was quite bold, sniffed it in Su Qin's hand, and then stretched out his tongue and licked it desperately on Su Qin's hand.

Su Qin only felt that his heart was about to melt, with a gentle and joyful smile on his face, and he was afraid that he would snub the others, so he quickly reached out and touched them one by one.

Zhao Xiuzhi was shaken by Su Qin's smile, and thought, how can this Qin Niang feel even better than the original?

was curious, so I heard Su Qin ask, "Sister-in-law, where did you pick up these puppies?" ”

Zhao Xiuzhi came back to his senses and said: "The old rich family of Zhang in the village, his old has a cub, and she is planning to kill and eat meat after a few days." The one who created evil, his big dog has not lost puppies over the years, and those who can't be sent out have been killed and eaten. It's really ruthless, such a small dog, how can there be meat after skinning? ”

Su Qin frowned when she heard this, she likes cats and dogs very much, and she can't listen to anyone who wants to kill cats and dogs, "Then sister-in-law go and hug it, can they be willing?" ”

Zhao Xiuzhi is also quite unaccustomed to the practice of the old Cai family, and they all say that cats and dogs are bitten, how can they do it? "They are reluctant, didn't they promise to cut five catties of meat for them, and they let them take it away."

When Su Qin heard this, he immediately went back to the house and took out eighty yuan and came out, "Sister-in-law, this is meat money, please go again and send it to his house." ”

Zhao Xiuzhi didn't say anything polite to Su Qin, took it and counted it, and took out five more wen, "The meat is fifteen wen a catty, which is too much." Their family always lacks morality, and they don't give them any more. Pity the big dog, two or three litters of puppies a year, most of them are close to the belly of Zhang Laocai's family, and now that he is old, he doesn't know if he can give birth, if he can't give birth, I'm afraid I have to let them eat. ”

When Su Qin heard this, her heart fluttered, and she felt a little unbearable when she looked at the puppies huddled together, "Sister-in-law, you can take me to Zhang Laocai's house." ”

Zhao Xiuzhi asked, "What are you going to do at his house?" ”

"Go and get that big dog back. These puppies are too young to survive with their mother's milk. And these puppies are too small, and it will take more than half a year to expect them to take care of the home. I live in such a remote area, I can't do it without a big dog. ”

Zhao Xiuzhi didn't agree very much, "That dog is old, you may not be familiar with it." And his family's lack of virtue is so smoky that it will definitely make the lion open his mouth. ”

Su Qin couldn't care about that much at this time, "It's okay, let's go and ask first, if he asks for a price, forget it." ”

Zhao Xiuzhi saw that she had made up her mind, so she had to nod, "Nacheng, I'll take you there." By the way, what about the two monkeys in my house? ”

Su Qin smiled and pointed to the porch in the backyard, "They are all asleep there." ”

The temperature in the afternoon was scorching, and after a few children played crazy for most of the day, she asked the two mothers-in-law to set up a cool bed under the porch and let the children take a nap.

The cool bed was made by the Su Qin brothers, it was light and strong, and it was very comfortable to lie on it.

The two mothers-in-law were sitting on the edge of the cool bed, fanning the children.

Zhao Xiuzhi saw it and couldn't help laughing: "You can get used to it, look back at the two thick-skinned ones in my family, they can't grow up in your house, and they won't make you a headache." ”

Su Qin smiled: "They are obedient." ”

Little Stone and Little Flower are indeed very well-behaved, although a little noisy, but very sensible.

Zhao Xiuzhi saw that Su Qin didn't feel annoyed at all, she was happy in her heart, and asked, "Have you thought about Zhouzhou's schooling?" ”

"I'd like to go to the academy and have a look at it first."

Zhao Xiuzhi nodded, "Nacheng, go back and wait for school to start, you follow me." ”

The two made an appointment, and then went out and went to Zhang Laocai's house.

Zhang Laocai's family lives a little partially, and he needs to wear the whole village.

Fortunately, there are trees planted everywhere in the village, so you don't feel too hot when you walk through it.

When he arrived at Zhang Laocai's house, Zhao Xiuzhi stood at the door and shouted twice, and soon someone came over and opened the door.

The one who opened the door was Zhang Laocai's daughter-in-law, Zhang Wang.

"Auntie, Qin Niang and I came over to give you the puppies' silver." Zhao Xiuzhi handed over the seventy-five dollars, "If it is converted according to the price of meat, you can count it." ”

Zhang Wang took the copper plate and counted it, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's these." ”

Su Qin took advantage of the time between the two of them to talk, glanced into the yard, and saw that the old dog was lying lonely under the eaves, the whole dog was pitifully thin, and the ribs were still clearly visible under the cover of the fur.

Zhao Xiuzhi didn't make many detours, and said bluntly: "Auntie, Qin Niang wants to see your big dog." ”

Zhang Wang had just gotten the silver money, and he was in a very good mood, so he hurriedly let the two of them go to the courtyard, "Come in, that dog has a bad temperament, you should be careful." ”

As he spoke, the big dog recognized Zhao Xiuzhi as the one with his child, and let out an angry roar.

Zhao Xiuzhi was startled when she found that the dog had been staring at her, and hurriedly hid behind Zhang Wang.

Zhang Wang immediately picked up a stick and was about to smash it on the dog.

Su Qin hurriedly stopped, "Auntie, don't fight, it's okay, I'll go over and take a look at it." ”

Zhang Wang grabbed her, "Don't go over, it's going crazy right now, beware of biting you again, I can't afford to pay for it." ”

Su Qin smiled, "It's okay, it can't bite me, and if it really bites me, it won't be bad for you." ”

Zhao Xiuzhi was afraid that Zhang Wang's would say anything more, so she quickly changed the topic, "Auntie, I heard that your eldest girl is going to come back with the child to move the diaper in the past two days?" ”

Zhang Wangshi was immediately distracted by these words, and he shhh

"Don't mention it, my eldest girl has really fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes and married such a bad in-law. On the day of childbirth, her black-hearted mother-in-law refused to send her to the hospital, and then finally went, my girl lost half her life to give birth to the child, and because it was a girl, she didn't give me a good face in the whole month. If it weren't for the son-in-law's conscience, my eldest girl might not have a life. Alas, this is also to blame for my eldest girl's own lack of anger, why did she give birth to a girl? ”

Zhao Xiuzhi secretly pursed her lips and said in her heart, your eldest girl will marry into this kind of family, not because of your father.

is a neat big girl, she has to take it to change her son's marriage, isn't this pushing her daughter into the fire pit with her own hands?

But this is someone's family matter, and she can't say anything, so she only echoes it on the surface and says that Zhang Daniu is pitiful.
