A few chatting women in the distance looked over this way. A woman also muttered in a low voice, "What a dead girl from a ruined family, she finally sold her ideas for medicine money, and went to buy meat to honor her mother-in-law." Alas, the two little ones are pitiful. ”

Another woman said, "I didn't enter the ancient family, is it my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who ......still talk about it?"

Seeing the old woman's long hand, Xu Lan couldn't wait to chop it off with a knife.

Xu Lanyin took two steps back to avoid Gu Pozi's hand, and said loudly, "Aunt Gu, this pork liver and plate oil are for my mother and little brother to replenish their bodies." They were all sick and skinny to a handful of bones, and the doctor said that they should eat more pork liver and make up for it. Also, if you want to eat Xu Lizheng's pears, why don't you buy them yourself, you have to let me get them. ”

The word "get" is particularly important.

The ancient woman was so angry that she wanted to scold, why is this dead girl so disgusting. But thinking of his son's instructions before leaving, and then looking at the excitement around him, he resisted the urge to scold, and asked in a low voice, "What is it that you brought meat to my door, didn't you send me meat?" ”

Xu Lanyin said, "I didn't come to your door on a special trip, I passed by here when I went home." He added, "Aunt Gu, since I listened to your words and sold the six acres of land at home, and gave you the silver, our family has never had a full meal, the younger brother shouted hungry every day, and the eldest brother dropped out of school." It turns out that every time I pick medicine and sell it for money, I buy meat for you and Gu Xiucai, but our family can't eat a little oily. These days, I dream every night that my dad is looking at me and crying, and he is complaining about me. Aunt Gu, when Gu Xiucai is admitted to the lifting of people, she will have money, can you return the silver to us? We can't live without land. Aunt Gu, please. ”

The ancient woman didn't like to listen to it, and said as she walked home, "What nonsense, who took the money from your family's land sale." My son is a dignified talent, so he is not rare for that little money. You dead girl with a bad conscience, I don't know which offspring boy you gave those silver to, but you have fallen into our house. If you want to quit my son, you can't make up such nonsense. ”

With a "bang", the door shut.

Xu Lan shouted to Yin at the gate, "Aunt Gu, you have to speak with conscience." Gu Xiucai is going to be a master, where do I dare to arrange him. The tooth man and the second uncle Wang, who bought the land, can testify, and as soon as I got the silver, I gave him forty-five taels. My family has only been supporting Gu Xiucai for eight years, no matter how stupid I am, it is impossible for me to let that money go down the drain, and it is not cost-effective to quit Gu Xiucai and find someone else. ”

The ancient woman shouted in the courtyard, "That's what my son was afraid that you would lose, so I kept it for you, and I will return it to you when I go home." Go, go, we didn't take your money, and we weren't allowed to ruin my son's reputation. ”

Xu Lanyin raised her hand and wiped her eyes without tears, and choked up, "I know, Gu Xiucai doesn't like me anymore, he doesn't want to marry me, and he doesn't want to return the money, so bury me like this, it's too bullying." ”

After saying that, he walked home sadly.

Those who watched the excitement didn't want to offend the Gu family, and the original owner's temperament was not pleasant, and no one came out to help say a fair word. But saying those words can be regarded as temporarily achieving the goal.

The shrewd Gu Wangchen is not there, the ancient woman is greedy and doesn't want to admit it, Xu Lanyin just wants to spread the purpose of the Gu family's mother and son to everyone and create public opinion.

In the distance, the chuckles of several women and children were heard, and one said, "What a silly girl, and very sincere." What a smart person her father was, how could she give birth to such a fool. ”

One person said, "At noon, I heard my mother-in-law say that the Gu family didn't want to marry that stupid girl, and they didn't want to admit it." My father-in-law also said that my mother-in-law was talking nonsense, saying that Gu Xiu was the second room of the Xu family, and asked for so much silver, how could he not marry the girl of the Xu family. Now listening to Sister-in-law Gu's words, I really don't want to admit it. ”

Another person said, "The ancient woman's eyes are on the top of her forehead, and when her son confesses, she can't look down on that stupid girl." But Gu Xiu is a person who remembers feelings, and he will never listen to his mother. ”

……

Among the playful children, Xiao Douding made a wish, and he hurriedly ran back to tell Mrs. Xu that Xu Lan had quarreled with Gu Pozi. When Mrs. Xu came to find her, Xu Lanyin had already left, and she talked to those people about how much her second son's family spent for Gu Wangchen to study, but now the Gu family didn't want to admit it, and gritted her teeth and scolded Xu Lanyin for being stupid.

When Xu Lanyin returned home, Xu Lanzhou was a little distressed when she saw her get so many things back. But thinking that she hadn't been deceived by the ancient woman, the silly eldest sister finally made progress, and a smile appeared on her face again.

went to Qin's house, Xu Lanyin took out the remaining more than 200 yuan, and said how much money the medicine was sold and how much money was used.

When she said that she had eaten a bowl of noodles for ten cents, Xu Lanzhou twitched the corners of her mouth in distress and muttered in a low voice, "Loser." ”

Qin smiled gently, "Your sister has been tired for so many days, so she should eat a bowl of noodles." ”

Xu Lanyin smiled, "My mother still loves me." ”

She took out nine taels of silver ingots, two silver horns, and a few hundred dollars from her bosom and put them on the table.

Qin Shi was surprised, "Where did you get so much money." ”

Xu Lanyin said, "I took all the dowry that my father gave me at the beginning and sold it to the county seat. Mother, I will pay back all the money I lost. ”

Qin's face flushed with anger, his body shook, and shouted, "That's the dowry that your father gave you, why are you a loser......

Xu Lanyin said, "I'm not a loser. The family affairs are not done, and the dowry is still necessary. ”

Qin Shi said again, "But you will always marry in the future." ”

Xu Lanyin said, "In the future, what the family needs most now is silver to tide over the difficulties." The money for the medicine of the mother and the younger brother must be less, and they must eat better. The eldest brother can no longer do the heavy work of logging, he is still a child, and his body can't stand it. He took Qin's arm and said, "Mother, you are the best person for me in this world, I can't let you have anything to do, I was blind and blind in the past......"

Qin was very pleased, patted Xu Lanyin's hand and said, "Good boy, you are really sensible......

Xu Lanyin persuaded again, "Mother, your illness is mainly a heart disease. My father is gone, and my brother and I are still so young. I promise not to lose again, you have to open up everything. If you are no longer there, our family will fall, what will happen to the two younger brothers? ”

These words made the Qin family cry, and even Xu Lanzhou's eyes turned red.

After the three of them talked about themselves for a while, Xu Lanyin told her about the quarrel with Gu Pozi just now.

Really heard that Gu Pozi was so clear and unconfessed, the Qin family and Xu Lanzhou were still angry.

Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "It's a good thing that she doesn't admit it, and everyone in the village knows the roots, and their thoughts are obvious." ”
