"Why isn't it a windfall?" For the first time, Zeng felt that his little granddaughter was too assertive.

Lin Huan'er lowered her head and glanced at her feet, "In order to bury that person's body, I dug a pit for a long time, so Li Zheng gave me all the silver." ”

"You dig a hole?" Zeng's voice changed in surprise.

Lin Huan'er nodded, "Li Zheng didn't dare to touch that person's corpse, he did it, and I will do the rest." ”

It was Li Zheng who taught her to say this, Zeng's reaction, and her follow-up rhetoric, Li Zheng gave him a flawless plan.

Zeng did believe it, she suddenly stood up, "You kid, the little girl has light yang energy, how can you touch those things directly," after saying that, she walked towards the door, "Sit here and don't move, I'll go pick some wormwood for you to take a bath to get rid of bad luck." ”

Lin Huan'er suddenly cried.

Li Zheng is right, if lying is really bad, she can also choose to bear the consequences, and now this uncomfortable feeling in her heart is the evil consequences of lying.

In the face of Zeng's unconditional trust, I couldn't help but want to tell her the truth several times, and wanted to tell her that I don't have to be so frugal, give me all the good things, and I still have a lot of food in my space; I want to talk to her, don't worry about me getting hurt, I have a strong self-defense weapon, and I've been through countless harsher environments.

But how do you say these words? If Zeng knew that she was not her real little granddaughter, but just a wild child from the end times, would she still be so good to herself?

Zeng's busy back and forth, after picking wormwood, he moved firewood, and carried water to boil water.

After that, she took out the only wooden basin in the house, poured hot water, and sprinkled mugwort leaves into it. At a glance, he saw the undried tears on Lin Huan'er's face, "Wronged?" ”

She pulled Lin Huan'er over and wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve, "Grandma is not complaining about you, it's just ...... Alas, it's no wonder that Grandma is incompetent. It should be grandma who makes money to support you. ”

Lin Huan'er grabbed Zeng's hand and sat down in the wooden basin, "Grandma, I've grown up, and I can make money to support you." ”

Seeing Lin Huan'er's serious little face, Zeng laughed again, "Okay, we have money now, and we will build a house tomorrow." After building the house, make a few large wooden basins, one for rice, one for washing, and one for bathing. ”

Lin Huan'er actually didn't think about letting the Zeng family prepare to build a house so early, she knew that the ancients and her, the last people, had a completely different view of consumption. Money is not worth much in the last days, so as soon as you get it, Lin Huan'er is used to exchanging it for food or weapons and storing it in the space. In ancient times, the consumption concept of most rural old ladies was that they must save money, and if they can't save it, they will use it to buy land.

Zeng's decision, I don't know whether she has the courage or the habit of being a child, but half a month later, whether it is Lin Huan'er or Zeng's, they are extremely grateful for everything they have done now.

Early the next morning, Zeng went to Lin Lizheng first, bought two acres of homestead on the other side of the river, signed the title deed, and in Lin Lizheng's surprised gaze, he went to visit a few old sisters who had been with him before, and beckoned the old sisters to go back to the house to help cook, and let the idle men go to help with the work, give two copper plates a day, and take care of a meal.

Walking to the west end of the village where Lin Tong's house was located, Zeng hesitated for a moment and raised his feet to go home.

When she went home, Lin Huan'er had already prepared the porridge and side dishes in the morning, and after feeding the chicks, she was washing the green plums she had harvested yesterday.

Although the family is not rich now, it is not too hungry to eat.

Zeng Shi ate and instructed her twice, took the silver and went to Shangxi Village next door.

There is no one in Xiaxi Village who can build a house, but there is a well-known mason named Wang Song in Shangxi Village, who took three apprentices and a few friends who are carpenters, and they are a small construction team, and everyone who wants to build a house from near and far goes to him.

I heard that Zeng's was in a hurry, afraid that the rainy season would come and there would be no place to live, and I flipped through the yellow calendar, and the second day was just suitable for starting work, and immediately promised to go to her house to dig the foundation on April 20 the next day, but Zeng's joy was broken.

After agreeing on a good date, Zeng deliberately took a detour and went to the Wang butcher's house in Shangxi Village to buy a piece of meat, the three chickens had not laid eggs yet, and watched the little granddaughter drink porridge and eat vegetables all day long, and the little face of the food was green.

After buying the meat, Zeng was just about to leave, when he heard someone shouting in the distance, "Lin Yang, are you here to pay back the money for your brother?" ”

Zeng frowned, Lin Yang was the name of her second son. She froze, listening.

"No, no, no, my brother asked me to tell me, and he will pay it back in five days."

It was indeed the voice of the second child who replied.

Zeng's feelings for his second son are different from those of his eldest son, and he separates from his eldest son because Zeng knows his eldest son's temperament very well, and knows that Lin Tong is getting more and more crooked, and he can't twist it anymore. can leave the second son behind, but it is for the good of the second son.

When the second son Lin Yang was five years old, the Zeng man left a butt of gambling debts and drowned. At that time, the Zeng family had to take care of their one-year-old son, handle funerals, and deal with various creditors who came to ask for debts.

She was so tired during that time that she just wanted to rest and get a good night's sleep. She neglected one night, Lin Yang told her that her head was hot and nauseous, she forgot to take care of her, and when she got up again the next day, the child was unconscious.

She cried and hugged the child to see Lang Zhong, gave up two dowry hairpins, and finally revived the child, but Lin Yang's brain was completely burned out, and his intelligence has not been high.

She farmed and sold vegetables like a man, and finally saved money for Lin Yang to marry a daughter-in-law. On the night of marrying her daughter-in-law, she called her daughter-in-law out to talk alone, "In the future, you and Lin Yang will follow the old family." The boss swore in front of his father's grave that if there is a bite of food in his family, your family will be indispensable, and when you two give birth to a son, and the son can set up a household, I will separate you again. ”

Although the boss has changed now, she knows in her heart that the boss kicked her out because she is old and can't do much work. The second child is now young and strong, and most of the work in the family depends on the second child and the second daughter-in-law, and the eldest will not easily drive the two away.

"Lin Yang, what's the matter with your brother, you owe fifteen copper plates? Didn't you get a tael of silver in the early stage of separation? I want to pay back the money, and I say I don't have any money. ”

"Don't drink if you don't have money. He asked you to come and tell me, what do you mean? Let's beat you up and relieve your anger? ”

"It's not right to hit someone, to beat someone! My brother said he could pay it back! Lin Yang said hurriedly.

"But I'm not happy right now!" The person who spoke was angry, and it sounded like Ma Qingshan, a second-rate son from Shangxi Village, "Lin Yang, either you let me beat you up, or you give me back your one or two pieces of silver." ”
