Wang Sanni meant that when she sold it to Xu Lanyin's family, not only did Zhao Wu help his family a lot, but the Qin family and Xu Lanyin would also offer a fair price.

Wang Jincai shook his head and said, "Our family's land is next to Xu Lizheng's family, if we don't sell it to him and sell it to others, he will be unhappy." Not only were the acres of land sold to him, but they were also collected for eight acres of silver. ”

Wang Sanni said, "The wheat in the field is ripe in less than a month, and at least one or two taels of silver must be added to avoid loss." If it is sold to Sister Lanyin, she will not take advantage of our family. ”

Wang Jincai said bitterly, "Sell it to Xu Lizheng's family, Uncle Zhao and Aunt Lan Yin will not be angry." can be sold to Aunt Lanyin's house, and Xu Lizheng will be unhappy. ”

Wang Sanni was extremely embarrassed, her little nephew was just eight years old, and he thought much farther than he thought.

Wang Jincai went to Xu Lizheng's house and said that he wanted to sell one acre of land, and he only received eight taels of silver.

This made Xu Lizheng very happy, and felt that this child was on the road and remembered his feelings.

I didn't wait for Zhao Wu to come back that night. Xu Lanyin thought that he was working overtime or going to Daxiang Temple temporarily, and he didn't pay attention to it.

Zhao Wu came back the next evening, looking sad and his clothes were wrinkled.

Not to mention that Xu Lanyin and the Qin family felt abnormal, even Xu Lanting was surprised and asked, "Brother Zhao, what's wrong with you?" ”

Qin asked again, "It can't be sick, right?" ”

Zhao Wu squeaked and said, "Well, it's a little uncomfortable." ”

Xu Lan didn't ask much, just asked to eat quickly. In his state, he was not sick at all, but he had something on his mind, or a major matter, and he thought about asking him alone after a while.

A few people were eating, and the courtyard door rang again, it was Wang Jincai coming.

He gave Zhao Wu a ruler, a small packet of caramel to the Qin family, and kowtowed to Zhao Wu, thanking them for helping him.

The Qin family was a little embarrassed to collect the sugar, and said with a smile, "We are also orphans and widows, so we didn't help your family, so how can we be embarrassed to accept your gifts." ”

Wang Jincai said, "Your family rented a house to Uncle Zhao, which helped my family." If it weren't for Uncle Zhao, my family doesn't know what would have happened. There are also Aunt Xu and Uncle Lan Zhou, they can honor their widowed mother and make the family business bigger and bigger, and so can I. ”

This reason made several people in the room laugh.

Xu Lanyin didn't expect Wang Jincai to suddenly become so sensible, it was a world of difference from the kid who was annoying before, and this kid was definitely a smart kid. mentioned the point, "If you want to make your family business bigger and do better than others, you still have to read some books, even if you read for two or three years, you can read and write, make accounts, and understand reason." Knowing that he admired Zhao Wu, he said, "Uncle Zhao is on an errand and is still taking time to study." ”

Wang Jincai bowed to Xu Lanyin and said, "Thank you Aunt Xu for your advice, I will go to the town tomorrow to study, and I will do better than my father." ”

Wang Jincai looked at Zhao Wu with infinite admiration again, and said shyly, "Since Uncle Zhao came to our village, I have been quietly paying attention to you, and I want to be as productive and respected as you." Before, I invited Uncle Zhao to my house for dinner, and I stood at the door of Uncle Zhao when I had nothing to do, not only my father and my aunt asked me to invite, but also I wanted to invite myself, I really wanted to be close to Uncle Zhao and learn more. Speaking of the back, there was some crying.

Zhao Wu didn't expect that he would actually become a role model, and just as he wanted to grin, he thought of the incident that happened last night and today's people's discussions, and his mood became heavy again. said, "Alas, Uncle Zhao is ashamed, not as good as you think." ”

Wang Jincai said stubbornly, "Uncle Zhao is so good." ”

Several people encouraged Wang Jincai a few more words before sending him away.

Wang Jincai went home and told Wang Sanni about Zhao Wu's and Xu's family's encouragement to him, as well as his desire to go to the town to study, and said that he must study hard, at least for two years. The year before last, he went to a private school in the town for a few months, but he couldn't learn, so he didn't go.

Wang Sanni pondered for a moment and said, "They are right, if you want to be better than your father, you must read more and understand the truth more." You learned, come back and teach me again. I can't stay at home every day like before, we don't get stronger, not stronger, not only will your father come back to clean up the house, but my good uncles' eyes are also staring at us......"

After the meal, Xu Lanyin put the dishes into the kitchen to wash, and Zhao Wu followed in.

Xu Lanyin glanced at Zhao Wu and said, "If something happened, let's talk about it." ”

Zhao Wu's face was flushed, he was at a loss, he hesitated for a long time, but still said with difficulty, "Sister, can you give me the five hundred taels of silver stored in you, I, I have something urgent to use." ”

Xu Lanyin stopped what she was doing, stared at Zhao Wu and asked, "What's the urgency?" ”

Zhao Wu's eyes avoided Xu Lanyin's gaze, drifted to the side, and said in a low voice, "Uncle He's family has an urgent matter, and he borrowed it from me." ”

I don't know why, he was best at lying before, but he didn't dare to tell this lie in front of Xu Lanyin's gaze.

Xu Lanyin's face sank, and he asked word by word, "Look at me, don't lie, what do you want money for?" ”

Zhao Wu's eyes looked at Xu Lanyin again, swallowed his saliva, and had to whisper, "Sister, don't be angry." Me, I lost my gambling money. ”

The voice gurgled in his throat.

"You went to gamble and lost five hundred taels?" Xu Lanyin said in a low voice, her eyes widened.

"More than that, I lost a total of six hundred and twenty taels." Zhao Wu lowered his head, not daring to look at her.

Xu Lan was so angry that she stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhao Wu's ear, twisted it a few times, and scolded, "You are getting more and more promising, you actually dare to gamble money, and you have lost so much." ”

Zhao Wu grinned in pain, not daring to scream or hide. sadly, "It's me who is stupid and got into someone else's trap." My sister is angry, just beat me to death, I also hate myself for being useless, I was actually played by a few gangsters. ”

Xu Lanyin also guessed that Zhao Wu was designed into it. He has shortcomings, but definitely does not include gambling and prostitution. The strength in her hand increased by two points, and said, "I warned you to pay attention earlier, but you still have to drill into other people's sleeves and poke out such a big basket." What's going on, make it clear. ”

She let go of her hand.

Zhao Wu rubbed his ears and said, "Yesterday, the yali gave out a reward, and I took the most, twenty taels of silver. After going down in the evening, Xu Dabang suggested that the brothers pool money for a drink. I didn't want to go, but they said I got the most money, and it wasn't enough to go. I've always wanted to have a good relationship with them, so I just went along...... I was so drunk that several people listened to Xu Dabang's shouting and went to the Humen Gambling House to gamble for money. I thought we were catching fast, and no matter how much the gambling house didn't dare to cheat us, I followed. At the beginning, my hand was extremely smooth, and I won more than 200 taels of silver at once, thinking that I could buy a good house for my sister in the county town by gambling while I was lucky, but who knew that this one would lose a hundred taels, and then the more I lost, the more red I became, and I listened to others to borrow silver to gamble, and finally owed the gambling house 620 taels. ”
