"No, Dad, my third brother and I heard that you are not in good health, come and take a look. You rest a lot, second sister-in-law, you take this for your father to eat at night. "The fourth child of the Zhang family didn't want to go in at all when he saw Zhang Qiuyue's attitude, fortunately, his mother was not at home, otherwise he didn't know what would happen again?

"Dad, take good care of yourself." The third elder of the Zhang family opened his mouth sadly, asked Datian to carry him to his father's side, took out the silver from his body and stuffed it into his father's hand: "The fourth child and I are now daughters-in-law in charge, and there is not much filial piety to you, don't give it all to your mother after you take it, you have to keep some on yourself." ”

The old man of the Zhang family held the silver given by the third child tightly, and his eyes were slightly red. Over the years, the family's money has been in the hands of the Xue family, which is probably the thing he regrets the most. Nodding slightly, he could understand the hard work of the third child.

Seeing this, the fourth child also took out a piece of broken silver and stuffed it into his father's hand: "Dad, take care!" ”

"Well, well......" The old man of the Zhang family was choked up and speechless, and when he saw that the Xue family had been out for some time, he said helplessly: "Go back, save yourself from being seen by your mother and saying a bunch of unpleasant things." Father...... I'm sorry for you! ”

"Daddy!" The third and fourth children of the Zhang family shouted tacitly, and looked at the second sister-in-law at the same time, and the third child opened his mouth first: "Second sister-in-law, the family will work hard for you." ”

"It should, it should!" The ugly daughter-in-law nodded at the two of them again and again.

The third and fourth children of the Zhang family didn't dare to stay longer, they glanced at their father sadly, and the two walked out of the yard quickly and left the old Zhang family.

In the courtyard over there, Zhang Qiuyue suddenly thought that she seemed to have seen the fourth brother holding two pieces of meat in his hand just now, and her eyes lit up and ran out again.

The old man of the Zhang family immediately put away the silver and glanced at the ugly daughter-in-law. The ugly daughter-in-law bowed her head clearly, held the big meat in one hand, and helped him to walk into the house with the other.

"Dad, can you eat meat tonight?" Zhang Qiuyue's face was about to fall out.

"If you want to eat, make it yourself! Give her the meat, and help her father into the house. After the old man of the Zhang family finished coldly, the ugly daughter-in-law stuffed all the meat into Zhang Qiuyue's hands.

At this time, Zhang Qiuyue only had meat in her eyes, and went to the kitchen with two pieces of meat. Looking at the back of Zhang Qiuyue leaving, the old man of the Zhang family stuffed the silver given by the third and fourth children into the hands of the ugly daughter-in-law: "Hide it, don't be taken by the second child to spend it." ”

"Dad, you ......" The ugly daughter-in-law wanted to refuse, but she heard footsteps outside the yard and hurriedly stuffed the silver into her arms.

Xue Shi came back, scolding with melon seeds in his mouth, obviously angry outside. When I entered the door, I saw the ugly daughter-in-law standing in the yard with the old man in her arms, and thought she was coming out to bask in the sun, so she hurriedly went to the house and brought a chair to help the old man and sat down.

The old man of the Zhang family sighed and said lightly: "The third and fourth children came just now. ”

"What are they doing here? Look at the joke! Xue Shi threw the melon seed shell on the ground and said disdainfully, and muttered: "They gave all the silver to those two women, and they dare to come back empty-handed?" ”

"Mother, they didn't come back empty-handed." The ugly daughter-in-law glanced at her father-in-law as she spoke, paused and continued: "I took two big pieces of meat, Qiu Yue said that she wanted to eat meat at night, and my father asked her to do it herself, and she took it to the kitchen." ”

Hearing that there was meat, Xue and Zhang Qiuyue's expressions were almost the same, and then they heard Zhang Qiuyue make meat, so they hurriedly got up and ran to the kitchen, for fear that Zhang Qiuyue would cook the meat.

The mother and daughter are virtuous, the old man of the Zhang family is helpless and has a headache, and he whispered to the ugly daughter-in-law: "Remember to hide the silver, don't take it out if your father doesn't say anything." ”

"Dad, I remember, thank you, Dad......" The ugly daughter-in-law replied gratefully.

The old man of the Zhang family waved his hand, signaling her to hide the silver first, so as not to let the Xue family or Zhang Qiuyue find out after a while.

The ugly daughter-in-law craned her neck to look inside, trotted back to the courtyard where she lived, and found a place that was not easy to find and put the silver in first.

……

Here, Zhang Xiaoyan and his entourage entered the city in a carriage, and asked Uncle Wang to put them at the door of Shanyi Medicine Store, while the others went to Xiuzhuang to wait.

Zhang Xiaoyan gave a few medicinal materials to Shopkeeper Lin, and talked about the difficulties of the medicine field.

Shopkeeper Lin pondered for a while, and then responded: "I can get someone for you to come over and have a look, but it will take a few days, is this feasible?" ”

"Okay, of course, then I'll bother the shopkeeper Lin." Zhang Xiaoyan gave Shopkeeper Lin a big gift, and with the money from selling medicinal materials, she led the fat girl to a bookstore on the street to find a few books that Brother Zhu needed.

They were lucky, the boss had just bought a batch of new books, which not only included the books named by the pillars, but also some medical books that Zhang Xiaoyan wanted to read, as well as the medical books that Fat Ya and Zhong'er needed. This one bought more than a dozen copies, and the back baskets of the two sank a lot.

The shopkeeper was quite enthusiastic, and he was afraid that the two little girls would not be able to carry them, so he asked Xiao Er to send them to the door of the embroidery village on his back.

Uncle Wang's carriage stopped at the gate of the embroidery village, and the two thanked Xiao Er for putting the book on the carriage, and when they were about to go in, they saw two familiar faces.

One is the second child of the Zhang family, and the other is the scarred face who stole his mother's silver last time.

Needless to say, the second child of the Zhang family entered the city and mixed up with Scarface, this kind of gangster generally likes to gamble, and it is estimated that the silver he stole last time has been lost, and now he is looking for a target here.

As soon as the inspiration moved, she and the fat girl went around to the back of the embroidery village, and after entering, she asked Xiao Er to find the shopkeeper Zhou, and the shopkeeper Zhou still felt strange, what was the matter with them so mysterious?

"Shopkeeper Zhou, have you noticed that there is often a man with a scarred face in your store? The last time I saw it, I saw it twice in the clothes of the shopkeeper. Zhang Xiaoyan asked Shopkeeper Zhou straight to the point.

Shopkeeper Zhou thought about it and shook his head, and called a few more shopkeepers. As a result, several shopkeepers said that they had seen such a person, and they would appear several times a month, and they didn't look like a good person.

"This man is a thief, and he has done it to the fat girl before. Fortunately, the fat grandmother gave the silver ticket to another hiding place, but the mother was not so lucky, and all the silver that Master Wang gave last time was stolen by that guy. Zhang Xiaoyan depressedly told the shopkeeper Zhou about the matter.

Shopkeeper Zhou was furious when he heard this, and asked the shopkeeper to take care of the people, and asked people to go to the yamen to find two officials to change into ordinary clothes and stay in the store.

Zhang Xiaoyan looked at the posture and couldn't help but sigh that it was still good to be rich, and the yamen called people over with a casual word. If it is an ordinary family, even if you ask for it, you will not go.

"Rest assured, it's all arranged. Your mother and they are looking at the silk that has just arrived, and talk to the embroidery girl here about how to embroider the colors on it? I'll show you there. After saying that, Shopkeeper Zhou took the two to Bai Qingshui and Liu Lanhua.
