Chapter 12 Another twenty taels owed

Shen Zhao'er looked at the bowl in her hand, and suddenly stopped talking, to be honest, when she just went home and saw that a new set of bowls and utensils at home were gone, she was also very angry, not to mention Shen Wan'er.

The bowl they use now is still the tattered bowl they used before, and it doesn't look very good.

The most important thing is that their newly made quilt is gone!

The tattered quilt was not thrown away before, and was used to make up the bed, but it covered the fresh and warm new quilt, and she had to cover the old one for a few days, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable.

And, what kind of place is that pawnshop?

After entering, it is good to be able to take out half of the money for the things you bought, but if you meet someone who is darker, you may not even be able to get 30% of the money.

And Shen Da may already know him in the pawnshop, and he will definitely knock him a lot of money, and I don't know how much those bowls and quilts were exchanged for in the end, but they spent money to buy new ones!

Lunch has been eaten, Shen Da has not come back yet, Shen Wan'er is not in a hurry, he still knows about Shen Da, he is lazy to do, and he is good at gambling, but it is not bad to the root, if he whips it well, maybe he can be saved.

In order to thank Uncle Xu for letting the family's youngest daughter Xu Xiaohua and tell her that Shen Da took out the things at home again, she brought a bowl of dishes made at noon today.

Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu are all kind-hearted people, and they were reluctant to accept it at first, but Shen Wan'er said that they accepted it.

"It seems that the family can't buy anything more expensive now, but fortunately, it's summer, and the quilt is almost enough, except for being uncomfortable, there won't be any big obstacles, if it's winter, if he takes our quilt as a pawn, then we don't have to go to someone else's house to borrow it!"

Their family is so poor that they are very poor, and Shen Da is a good gambler, most of the families in the village avoid it, but now it is a little better, and the other people in the Peony Village have gradually eased their expressions.

"How can my dad be like this, before he went out, he said that he wanted to buy pork ribs and come back to stew soup to drink, but he ......!" Shen Zhao'er stomped her feet, very incomprehensible, Shen Da actually abandoned the delicious pork rib soup and actually wanted to gamble.

Shen Wan'er glanced at her and felt that she had grasped the wrong point, Shen Wan'er didn't say anything, she washed the dishes with her hands and feet, and planned to go out again.

"Sister, you stay at home, I'll go to town again, buy a new set of bowls and come back, if Dad comes back, you must watch him, don't let him run away again."

Shen Wan'er pinched the phalanges in her hand, pinched them crackling, and gritted her teeth, which made Shen Zhao'er mourn for Shen Da in her heart.

Whoever let his father do such a stupid thing again, even if he was scolded by Wan'er, he deserved it!

It's best to let Dad not be able to eat Wan'er's meals for several days, and see if he dares to go out to gamble!

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw Xu Xiaohua playing at the entrance of the village, Xu Xiaohua saw Shen Wan'er's eyes shining, and ran over, her mouth was also very sweet, "Sister Wan'er, where are you going?" ”

Xu Xiaohua is still very popular among children of the same age, Shen Wan'er touched her head and took out a silk flower from her arms, "I plan to go to the town to buy something, this flower is for you, it is very beautiful to wear on your head." ”

"Ah, I know this, it was put on my head by Sister Zhao'er today, it's so beautiful!"

Xu Xiaohua's eyes were shining, and she reached out to take it, but when she was about to get it, she stopped, shook her head, and looked a little pitiful, "My mother said, you can't just ask for other people's things." ”

"This is just asking for other people's things, today you came to the town to report to me, this is to thank you, if you don't accept it, next time I want to trouble you to do anything, I'm embarrassed."

Xu Xiaohua blushed shyly, but in the end, she couldn't resist the temptation of the silk flower and accepted it, which aroused the envy of several friends.

"Xiaohua, this silk flower is really beautiful, you look good when you wear it, my sister gave me a silk flower during the New Year, it is said that I bought it in the city, I am reluctant to wear it, but I think your flower is much more beautiful than my flower!"

Others also echoed, the boy couldn't understand whether this flower was beautiful or not, but seeing its bright color, it really looked good when Xu Xiaohua wore it on her head, and she also praised it a few words.

Xu Xiaohua was overjoyed, glanced at Shen Wan'er's departing back, licked her lips, and remembered the bowl of pork rib soup that Shen Wan'er brought to his house at noon today.

They are already considered to be a good family in the village, and it has been a few days since they last ate meat, but they have never eaten such a delicious thing.

She didn't know what was added to the soup, she only got a small half bowl, but it was so delicious that she almost swallowed her tongue, and she still remembered it.

Her father and mother-in-law, brother and sister-in-law, all the same, drank the ribs and soup they had taken cleanly.

Shen Da was so hungry that he poured a stomach of water on the side of the road, but there was still no way to stop the scratching of his heart, when he went out this morning, Shen Wan'er said that she was going to the town to buy ribs, and at this time they must have eaten lunch, and I don't know if there are any ribs left at noon.

He sneaked back to Peony Village, and met Xu Carpenter's daughter-in-law on the way, and pulled him to count them for a long time.

“…… In the past, I saw that you didn't take care of you, but now you see, your daughter finally made your home better, and also bought things like quilts, you can't make a device, but take it away, it must be taken to gamble, at this time I sneaked back must have lost all the money, I said that you can be a father can be a little more reliable, the mother of the two sisters is dead, you are a father like this, are you going to force the two sisters to death alive! ”

Aunt Xu and Shen Da are the same age, just a few years older than Shen Da, not old enough to be able to lecture him, but she eats people with a soft mouth and short hands, and after eating such delicious pork ribs made by Shen Wan'er, she also feels that she has an extra responsibility in her heart when she sees Shen Nature.

Shen Da was very embarrassed by her, "What do you know, I want to ......"

"If it weren't for your daughter's face, I wouldn't bother to say these things to you, you don't have two daughters alone, and these two daughters are both getting married, so they can't let them have a father like you who often gambles, and then be implicated for a lifetime!"

"How hard the old girl who can't get married will be in the future, if you are really distressed, they will quickly change your stinky problem of gambling!"

"What do you old know!"

There were a few children watching on the side, and they were talking about something, but Shen Da really couldn't get down on his face, and he scolded and left.

Aunt Xu looked at his departing back and shook her head helplessly,

Shen Wan'er's girl is very good, people can do it, Shen Huan'er is not bad, the work in the field, the very sharp hands and feet, not much worse than some boys, Shen Wan'er will also help on the side.

It stands to reason that even if Shen Da's father doesn't do anything, his family won't be poor like this, but he not only doesn't do anything, but also loves to drag the family back, so he will be poor and become the poorest person in the entire Peony Village.

The two sisters are really unlucky to have such a father.

Shen Da was scolded by Aunt Xu like this, and he was naturally angry at first, but when he saw his own dilapidated house and the contrast between his own house and other houses, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.

Other people's fathers are always very capable, not to mention others, at least they can feed and clothe their children, which is like him, he couldn't eat enough a few days ago, that is, these geniuses are better.

He sneaked to the outside of the house, stretched his neck to look inside, and remembered that there might be leftover ribs in the stove house, and his stomach rumbled at this time, but he didn't know where Shen Zhao'er and Shen Wan'er were.

The house was quiet, and no one was talking, so it couldn't be that he was waiting for him to go in with a stick, right?

During this time, Shen Wan'er's fierceness had left a deep impression on his heart, thinking of this, Shen Da shivered and wanted to slip away, but his stomach was so hungry that he didn't have any money on him, and he didn't have anything valuable.

If you don't go home, you'll have to sleep outside.

He bent down and sneaked in, and if he was beaten, he would be beaten, it was better than starving to death outside!

The place on his body that was beaten by Xiong San still hurts faintly, but fortunately, Xiong San didn't kill him this time, although he was in pain, but it was much better than the previous times.

If it were normal, Shen Zhao'er should be in the field at this time, but Shen Wan'er specially instructed him to wait at home when he went out, so at this time, Shen Zhao'er was trying to make a purse for herself, her craftsmanship in this area is not good, and the purse made is horizontal and vertical, which is not beautiful, but it has an advantage, that is, it is very strong.

The door was open, and when she was finishing, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Shen Da sneaking outside, and almost jumped up immediately.

Shen Da was also taken aback, and quickly wanted to slip away, but he was beaten by Xiong San, he didn't run so fast, and he was so hungry that he had no strength, so he was quickly caught by Shen Zhao'er.

"Daddy!" Looking at Shen Da's embarrassed appearance, Shen Huan'er stomped her feet angrily, "Didn't you already promise me and Wan'er not to gamble again?" It's not that you don't know Xiong San's character, if you owe money again, you will kill us sisters, I don't want to be sold! ”

Shen Da remembered the handprint that was forcefully pressed by Xiong San, and the already weak expression on his face became more and more empty, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Shen Huan'er.

However, this eldest daughter is relatively mild-tempered, but if he knows that he owes twenty taels of silver, he will definitely be anxious with him.
