Chapter 143: A Messy Family
"Sit down, you're welcome, I'll pour you a bowl of water." The young woman beckoned Ling Xiaoxiao and they sat down and looked at the back room, then hurriedly closed the door, and then turned around to bring them water to drink, and seemed to be in a hurry.
"No, we're going to leave after we're done." It's not that Ling Xiaoxiao doesn't want to stay here, it's that it's really smelly here, and the stools and tables are sticky.
And the eyebrows and eyes of the two people in front of them are like mother and daughter, their bodies are in tatters, their clothes seem to have not been changed and washed for a long time, and although the smell on their bodies is not as heavy as in the house, they can still be smelled if they smell it carefully.
Ling Xiaoxiao now just wanted to see how Da Yong's injuries were, and then left this place, and it was really the scene in front of her that made her feel a little unable to stay.
The young woman whispered a few words into the old woman's ear, and the old woman who was about to take them into the inner room also beckoned them to sit down and drink some water: "It's okay, it's okay, you sit for a while, let's talk more, Xique, you go and bring a bowl of sugar water to the guests to drink," the old woman sat on the stool, and then waved her hand to let the young woman magpie in front of her go to serve Ling Chunxiang and them water to drink, and then beckoned Ling Xiaoxiao and a few people to sit down.
"Our family Dayong, when I heard that Ling Meizi's family had an accident, he ran out without even wearing shoes, that day I saw him being carried back, my heart was pulled, you see, it's been seven or eight days, and now he's still lying on the bed, don't you see him like that, it's really distressing, my family Dayong is the pillar of our family, this fall, there is no source at home, the doctor said, our family Dayong may be lying in bed in the future." The old woman cried again as she spoke, squinting at Ling Xiaoxiao's reaction as she cried, and then looked out of the door from time to time.
Ling Xiaoxiao also felt very strange, why for so long, this old woman didn't let them see this Dayong, and kept letting them sit here, so she asked: "Then let's go and take a look at Dayong's situation now, if it's really serious, we will be responsible." Ling Xiaoxiao didn't know the age of this Da Yong, so he also called Da Yong directly.
Just as he was about to stand up, Ling Chunxiang was pressed to the chair by the woman again, and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's not too late to go and see after drinking sugar water, my family Dayong estimates that he is still sleeping now, and going in now is also disturbing his rest, so let's go in later." ”
The woman didn't sit down either, but stood in front of Ling Xiaoxiao and them, as if she was hiding something.
Because she is also one of her family's life-saving benefactors, Ling Xiaoxiao did not expose her little tricks, because Ling Xiaoxiao used her divine sense to feel that there was no one in the room inside, and judging from their various performances just now, it is very certain that this Dayong is not in this room now, and she is covering it up so now, just to delay time so that the magpie who just said that he went out to bring them water will report to that Dayong.
However, in order to blackmail the money, they still worked hard, Ling Xiaoxiao whispered to her parents to let them be patient and wait, she wanted to see what kind of person this Dayong was, but if she wanted to deceive her, she could accept it within her acceptable range, after all, she also saved her family, but if it was too outrageous, then she would not blame herself for being ruthless.
And during the time of waiting, Ling Xiaoxiao has been listening to this woman say that their family is not easy, and she keeps saying that her family Dayong has not married a daughter-in-law, and it will definitely be more difficult to marry in the future, listening to the meaning of her words, it is nothing more than wanting more money, Ling Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and said: "Auntie, you say, how much money are you going to want?" ”
"At the very least, we have to pay a hundred taels of silver, if you don't give it, our family will live in your house in the future, and you have to support us. When the old woman's eyes glowed like this, she stretched out five fingers and said.
"One hundred taels! Here, we have to see how Dayong's injury is, otherwise we won't be able to get out so much money now. Wang Fugui was a little surprised when he heard the amount of money that the woman in front of him said, because now the maximum amount of silver for buying and selling maids is five taels, and it is one hundred taels at once, and they may not be able to earn it if they have to work hard for a year, and they don't have so much money now, but if Dayong's injury is very serious, they will take more, but if it is not very serious, one hundred taels is really too much for them.
Ling Xiaoxiao looked at this woman playfully on the side, although this one hundred taels was really a drop in the bucket for her, but looking at her current attitude, Ling Xiaoxiao didn't want to give it.
"I said that my family Dayong was seriously injured, don't you believe your savior? And he's sleeping, and when he wakes up, if you can't take out a hundred taels, in fact, I have a way, I don't know if you agree or not. The old woman first said to Wang Fugui and the others in a bad tone, and then as if she was a different person, she stared at Ling Xiaoxiao in front of her and looked up and down, and then said another method that suddenly came to mind.
While the woman was talking, Ling Xiaoxiao felt two people entering the courtyard, then one panting into the next room, and the other running towards their house.
"Mother....... Mother ....." saw the magpie come in and nodded at the old woman breathlessly.
Then the old woman pretended to be angry and slapped the table and said, "You lazy fool, let you go and make sugar water for the guests, you have been dead there for so long." ”
The magpie bowed his head and said, "Mother, there is no sugar in our kitchen, why don't you take Sister Ling and them to see my brother." ”
The old lady sighed, then glanced at the magpie very quickly and said, "I can't count on you, forget it, let's go directly to see Dayong." Then he got up and went into the back room.
The magpie hurriedly said: "Mother, you forgot, my brother is sleeping in a side room,"
"How did you get to the side room, didn't you say that he moved to the back room today, so that he could recuperate."
"I was going to move it at night, mother, you remember wrong."
"Look at my brain, I've forgotten it, sister of the Ling family, let's go to the side room and have a look." As soon as the mother and daughter sang and harmonized, they transferred this matter.
Ling Xiaoxiao watched their performance from the sidelines and didn't say anything, she wanted to see what the other method she was talking about, and what the hell she had in mind.
I walked back into the yard, through the thick weeds, to the side house, and the place was like no one had ever visited.
