Qin lowered his head and said embarrassedly, "Chen Zumo gave his daughter thirty taels of silver, and it cost some on the way back, and there are less than twenty taels." ”

"What?" Zhang screamed, "It's only been three days since I came back from the capital, and you actually spent a dozen taels?" That old silver is enough for the family to feed for a year, and you still think you are ......"

"Shut up!" Qin Zhengpu, the eldest brother of the Qin family, glared at the round eyes, "What about the rules!" Is it your turn to say this? ”

Zhang's heart twitched in distress, as if the Qin family's mother and daughter had spent her money, and her eyes kept wandering around the burden in Qin's hand.

Qin Sanhao and the old Bai family looked at each other, and they both saw the heaviness in each other's eyes.

Qin took out a small purse that was tightly hidden from the baggage, untied it, poured out ten taels of silver and handed it to his father, and put the rest back on. Qin Zhengpu and Zhang's husband and wife looked at the greedy gaze of the burden, Chen Xiaonuan saw it clearly, and these two people were also included in the list of those who could not cooperate.

When Qin Sanhao came back from Lizheng's house and handed over the house key to the eldest grandfather's house to the Qin family, Chen Xiaonuan's hanging heart fell to the ground. Anyway, there's finally a place to stay.

"It's getting late, let's stay at home today, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Qin Sanhao spoke.

The Bai family asked the two daughters-in-law to cook, Chen Xiaonuan looked at the sunset in the west, and asked the second uncle Qin Zhengtian, who was watching the Qin family in a daze, "Second uncle, are you in trouble?" ”

Qin Zhengtian came back to his senses and picked up the broom along the water, "I'll go to the old uncle's yard to clean up and find something missing." ”

Xiao Nuan looked for him for this matter, and now only the honest second uncle in the family will care about their mother and son, Chen Xiaonuan followed, "I'll go with the second uncle." ”

"There are still people living in that courtyard last month, so it's easy to clean up, and you can rest at home." After Qin Zhengtian finished speaking, he pointed to the big bag on Chen Xiaonuan's head, "How did you touch this?" ”

Chen Xiaonuan said nonchalantly, "I hit the pillar." ”

Qin Zhengtian was stunned, turned around and called Rhubarb out of the door.

After eating a particularly dull dinner, the three of Bai Xiaonuan slept on the kang in the east house with their old couple. Qin Zhengpu's family of four lives in the West House, and Qin Zhengtian and his daughter sleep in the East Wing. The west wing room is Da Lang's residence. But now fifteen-year-old Da Lang and ten year old Erlang have gone to the county school to study, and they are not at home. Although the house was empty, no one thought of letting Qin's mother and daughter live in it.

In the Qin family, no one can touch Da Lang's things, because the Qin family is convinced that Da Lang is Chen Zumo's second, and he will glorify his ancestors in the future.

It was hot in June, there was no mosquito net in the window, Chen Xiaonuan was lying on the kang listening to his sister's little snoring, and when he was making a painful choice between covering the quilt to cover his sweat or not covering the quilt to raise mosquitoes, he heard his grandmother Bai speak.

"Lan'er, my mother is thinking, you mothers have to go back to the Chen family to be serious."

Chen Xiaonuan twitched the corners of her mouth, she felt that something was wrong with her grandmother who had been living peacefully since they came back, so she was waiting here.

Qin, there was no sound.

Bai Shi persuaded again, "You haven't given birth to a son for so many years, and there is nothing wrong with Zu Mo taking a concubine to continue the Chen family's incense." Which big family doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Zu Mo is the champion, after a few days, the official is the official master, you will become the official wife, the two of us are the official lady, you wear gold and silver, and the good days of making slaves and maids are coming. You said that you ran back in order to fight for a breath, what else can you get except to be named an abandoned woman? How did you live in the rest of your life, can you find a good in-law with your two daughters? ”

The future of her two daughters was also a boulder that pressed on Qin's heart, and she cried lowly.

Bai thought that his daughter was tempted, and he was overjoyed, and continued to persuade, "Let your brother go to the capital tomorrow, ask what the Chen family thinks, and find another step for them to come back and take your mother back." If you say a few more soft words to Zu Mo and give him a son, you will have everything. Lan'er, you can't be confused at this time. ”

The Qin family couldn't help it, "He doesn't want to take a concubine, it's the daughter of the prince's family in the capital who wants to marry him." Chen Zumo was afraid that our mother would get in the way, so he found an excuse to drive us out. If we hadn't run fast, we might have died in the capital and wouldn't have come back! ”

Chen Xiaonuan stretched out her hand to blast away the mosquitoes in her ears, and said that her grandparents would not believe her mother's words.

Sure enough, Qin Sanhao sat up suddenly, "This is impossible!" ”

Bai Shi also said, "Your father is right, Zu Mo has a family and a mouth, and the prince is a golden nobleman, how can he fall in love with him." ”

"The news spread in the capital, Chen Zumo was the champion of the horse and paraded the streets, and the third daughter of King Chengping fell in love with him and threw a lot of flowers and fruits to him. Everyone said that the new champion was going to be the east bed of the Chengping Wang family. Qin's nails pinched into the palm of his hand. She didn't believe these nonsense, but when she arrived at the inn and saw Chen Zumo, who was dressed in new clothes and radiant, Chen Zumo's eyes looked at their mothers like seeing three pieces of, and she couldn't wait to throw them out immediately! What happened in the next few days made her feel even colder.

Qin Sanhao asked again, "Did someone send someone to the door to propose?" ”

The Qin family didn't say anything, how could they use someone to come to the door to propose! When Chen Zumo's father and mother heard about this, they immediately kicked her out of the door, wanting to climb to the door of the prince's house and lick the stone lion!

The daughter didn't speak, Qin Sanhao breathed a sigh of relief, "I just said no, the champion is on the street, Zu Mo looks good, the eldest daughter and the little daughter-in-law like him is normal, throwing flowers and fruits is nothing, don't think about it, wait for your eldest brother to go and then make plans, sleep." ”

Qin's tears wet the pillow, and Chen Xiaonuan reached out to hold his mother's thin hand.

Qin turned over and held his eldest daughter in his arms, his body trembling incessantly. Xiao Nuan also stretched out her arms to hug her mother, and whispered comfort in her ear, "Don't be afraid, mother, with me, I will bear it with my mother!" ”

In such a situation, it was very rare for the Qin family to leave the Chen family with their two daughters. The Qin clan has taken the first step, and the rest will be left to themselves! Xiao Nuan secretly made up her mind, hugged her mother and listened to the buzzing of mosquitoes and fell asleep.

When he woke up in the morning, looking at the red dots on his arms that had been bitten by mosquitoes, Chen Xiaonuan felt that it was very incredible that he could sleep until dawn.

There was only one left on the kang, Chen Xiaonuan dressed and went to the courtyard to freshen up, and saw the four-year-old Qin Erni of the second uncle's family squatting beside her five-year-old sister Chen Xiaocao and whispering to it.

When Rhubarb saw Xiao Nuan come out, he immediately wagged his tail and rushed up to ask for a petting. Chen Xiaonuan touched its head, "I don't have anything to eat today, go to the mountains to find food by myself, go and come back quickly." ”

Rhubarb fluttered a few times with a "haha", turned around and left. The eldest aunt Zhang leaned against the kitchen door frame and said in a weird manner, "I don't understand anything at all, why don't you let Rhubarb catch a few more living creatures?" I haven't seen meat at home for a few days! ”

Chen Xiaonuan raised her eyelids, "Uncle wants to eat?" ”

Zhang licked his knife-thin lips and nodded vigorously.

Chen Xiaonuan nodded and shouted to Rhubarb, who walked to the gate of the courtyard, "Rhubarb, catch a few more rats and bring them back, my aunt wants to eat them." ”

"Wang!" Rhubarb glanced at Zhang, who was grabbing food, and the dog's eyes left with disdain, Xiaocao and Qin Erni covered their mouths and snickered.

Zhang was dumbfounded, "Which eats rats!" I'm talking about chickens, chickens! ”

"Oh." Chen Xiaonuan slapped the cool well water on his itchy arm and squinted his eyes comfortably, "That's a pity, rhubarb can only catch mice." ”

Zhang rushed over, eager to press Chen Xiaonuan into the bucket and drown! But he heard the rhubarb outside the courtyard wall screaming, and then a low reprimand came in, "Beast, you haven't recognized the Lord for a few days?" ”

The voice......

Zhang, Qin, and Chen Xiaonuan turned their heads at the same time, and their eyes widened at the same time when they saw the man striding in.
