Now it's not a matter of a few taels or dozens of taels, but hundreds of taels, even if he sells him, he can't make up this number.

The second child actually borrowed fifty taels from others, and in these days, Li Luoli actually increased to one hundred and twenty taels of silver.

This one hundred and twenty taels of silver, in Chai Shouxiao's view, is undoubtedly a boulder that cannot be waved away.

Even if he asked him to sell the store, he couldn't make it up.

Looking at the people in the room waiting for him to reply, Chai Shouxiao felt tired.

Aren't they separated? Why did they still come to him about the second child, and even gave him such a problem.

Chai Shouxiao raised his hand and wiped his face, suppressed the irritability in his heart and asked, "Dad, how much silver is there at home?" ”

If it is not enough, he will add more.

It's just that Chai Shouxiao's words were like stepping on the tail of the old woman, she suddenly withdrew her glances, looked at her eldest son with wide eyes, and shouted sharply: "Where did the money come from at home?" Do I need to look for you if I have money? No money, no money! ”

These words undoubtedly made Chai Shouxiao's heart fall into the ice cellar again.

Even though the climate is warm now, and even a little hot, he feels cold from body to heart.

How could the old house have no money, not to mention the wages they have paid over the years, just say that the so-called aunt will deliver a lot of things and money every year.

In addition, the people of the Chai family do not farm, all the land in the family is planted by the people in the village, and a lot of grain can be harvested every year.

Every year there is a surplus of grain, and they are all sold for silver.

The life of the old mansion is rare in the entire Qingyang Town.

After all, who can sell more food? Who doesn't need to go to the ground?

I'm afraid, only some landlords and squires can live like this!

Now, his mother told him that there was no money at home, which was unbelievable.

The entire Chai family does not need to be used for studying, except for self-sufficiency, there is no other use, how can it not save money.

These are just reluctant to come out, and they are just excuses.

Chai Shouxiao suppressed the unrest in his heart, raised his eyes to look at the old man Chai, and asked in a deep voice: "Dad, you say, how much silver do you still have short?" ”

Speaking of this, Chai Shouxiao did not wait for Old Man Chai to complain, but raised his hand to stop him from speaking.

"Dad, I'll spread it on the table and tell you, I still borrowed Nier's master's silver from her in this shop, and the money hasn't been repaid yet."

This can be regarded as a thorough explanation for everyone in the Chai family.

When Mrs. Chai heard that her eldest son actually borrowed money to open a shop, her face immediately turned long.

What does that mean? They haven't said anything when they come to ask for money, but the boss is complaining? What's the matter, you still plan to let the old couple pay him back? There are no doors! ’

Chai Tianyou, who was standing on the side, had a slight flash in his eyes: "He knows the business of the eldest brother's shop, and he has inquired about it, so he decided to come to the eldest brother to try it first." I didn't expect the eldest brother to hide it. ’

However, Chai Tianyou doesn't believe that the shop has no money.

Old man Chai was stared at by his eldest son like this, and he was a little weak-hearted.

He didn't want to embarrass the boss, but the old woman kept making trouble at home, and the second child was still in a hurry. If one dies, he will die, and the other will die if he is late. Even if the second child is not successful, he is also his son in the end! ’

Thinking of this, the old man Chai looked at the old woman Chai: "Tell me, I don't care about the money in the family, how much is the difference?" ”

He didn't have the face to say things against his son against his will, although he didn't know how much money he had in the family, he specified a lot.

Thinking of this, the old man Chai sighed in his heart, lowered his head and was reluctant to speak again.

His posture of asking again made the old woman Chai angry, and she wanted to shout but thought that this was the town, so she couldn't help it.

"There is no silver in the house, and then there is the dowry of the orb. Why, you, the eldest brother, still want your sister to put all the dowry in? You also feel sorry for your sister, she is so old. ”

In that way, it seems that it is Chai Shouxiao's fault if he doesn't pay for it.

Chai Shouxiao clenched his hands into fists, and the anger in his heart rose.

Say a thousand things and ten thousand, they don't want to pay for it!

"I ......"

"Mother! You're asking for the life of our family! ”

Without waiting for Chai Shouxiao to say something to refute, he heard a piercing and sharp shout outside, and before the words landed, Lin ran in.

Probably running back in a hurry, Lin's face was flushed.

Even though she was out of breath, she finally stopped her own words.

According to Lin's understanding of Chai Shouxiao, she felt that if she let the people over there talk about it, it was estimated that he would not be able to stand it and want to help.

That's not going to work!

Lin looked at the people in the room and cried like pouring beans.

"Father, mother, you also feel sorry for your eldest son! Brother Xiao is also your son, not picked up. It's not Brother Xiao's fault that the second brother gambles to make people cut off his hands and feet, is it that he forced the second brother to gamble? Why do you want to force him to be an honest man? ”

"Lin, you ......"

Hearing the eldest daughter-in-law say this without giving face, this is clearly accusing them of the old couple, and Mrs. Chai angrily pointed at the Lin family and was about to scold.

But seeing that Lin turned his head to look over, he continued: "Mother, don't say anything, all you leave behind is the dowry of the sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law is sixteen." You've been saving a dowry for her since I got married, isn't it enough that it's been more than ten years? ”

"What kind of family is my sister-in-law going to marry? Need a dowry saved for decades to save face? ”

After saying this, Lin looked at Chai Tianyou angrily: "And the third brother, who worked in the field day and night back then, and who sold coolies in the town to earn you the bundle?" Why did the third brother forget everything? ”

"Sister-in-law, I haven't forgotten, aren't I talking about the second brother? I ......"

Chai Tianyou has made friends over the years are all students, where have he ever met a peasant woman like his sister-in-law, and he was suddenly scolded, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Lin didn't listen to this, and continued: "Since you are talking about the second brother, your eldest brother is the elder, how can you speak to your eldest brother like this. It's just that your eldest brother doesn't care about it all these years, but you dress well and eat well, how can you say that your eldest brother is so peaceful? Say that, will your conscience be at ease? ”

Mrs. Chai had already stood up at this time, and when she saw that the Lin family dared to say that the third son, she was reluctant to say it, so she immediately rushed over and raised her hand.

Chai Shouxiao noticed his mother's movements and hurriedly got up to stop him.

"Mother!"

'Boss, you...... Even you're mad at me, aren't you? Your daughter-in-law should be beaten, you get out of the way! ’

Chai's old woman's hand kept lifting, and Lin's eyes lit up when she was standing behind Chai Shouxiao, and she stared at the person standing in front of her.

"Mother, if you have anything to say, besides, Cui'e didn't say anything wrong."

For the first time, Chai Shouxiao felt that his daughter-in-law had told the truth.

In his heart, he was actually more relaxed, and there was a sense of unhappiness in confiding in him.

Or, that's what he thought himself, but he didn't say it all along!

And Chai Shouxiao's words surprised the Chai family present.

"Big brother, how can you say that? Mother, isn't there no way? Could it be that the eldest brother is complaining about his father? ”

Chai Tianyou looked at Chai Shouxiao in surprise, he didn't expect his eldest brother to think so.

After so many years, is the eldest brother really resentful?
