They have taught An Huahao for many years, and naturally they also understand his temperament, they will not be a cow or a horse as a slave, and they will not be able to help themselves for the rest of their lives.

So it seems that he was given two choices, but in fact, everyone knows that the final result is that An Huahao takes poison.

After hearing this, Mei Xiaotong looked at Qin Orion, who was lying on the ground, as if he was dead, and pulled the corners of his mouth: "You forced An Huahao to take poison like this yesterday, and today's retribution will come to you, now you know that this forced taste is not comfortable, right?" ”

The shopkeeper covered his face, and his spiritual energy was emptied, and he didn't dare to say another word.

"Alright, clean up, let's go!" Mei Xiaotong nodded at Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li hurriedly picked up the box and walked out.

Mei Changqing was still unwilling: "The one surnamed Qin hasn't lost any money yet!" ”

"Shut up!" Mrs. Li glared at Mei Changqing, and Zhou wanted to come forward to help her, but she slapped her hands away.

Tianlong and Tianhu opened the courtyard door, and the people outside hadn't left yet, and when they saw the box that Mrs. Li was holding, they all stared at it with burning eyes, and they all wanted to know how much silver was in this box?

Mrs. Li turned around and took a sip: "Phew! If you don't have money, what kind of uncle do you charge in front of your mother? Just such a little silver, plus such a broken house deed, and a broken painting, I actually want to be worth 4,800 taels? When we are stupid in the countryside? I'll tell you, it's not over today! ”

"In two days, we will still ask for money, whether you smash the pot and sell iron, or sell yourself to lose money, the old lady only recognizes silver!" As he spoke, he hummed and walked out.

That Mrs. Yang squeezed in front of her, "Sister Zhang, how is it?" How much compensation did the Qin family and the Zhang family give you? Did you really lose 4,800 taels? ”

The people around them pricked up their ears.

"Phew! Listening to the braggadocio surnamed Qin and Zhang, he begged for mercy when he entered the courtyard, saying that he didn't have so much silver, and finally scraped together this little thing. Mrs. Li opened the box generously, and there were a few ingots of silver inside, as well as the house deed, jade pendant or something.

Mei Changqing's eyes widened, obviously there were more than a thousand taels of silver tickets, why was it gone?

Busy to see Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li's face was silent, and she stepped on Mei Changqing with a hard slap under her feet, which made him come back to his senses immediately.

"Impossible, right? This Zhang family has opened a bookstore, and it has been more than ten years, so he has such a belongings? "There are doubts.

When Mrs. Li heard this, she immediately made a gesture and was about to pounce in the yard: "What? Do they still have a shop? No, I've got to bring the shop over—"

Mei Changqing came back to her senses at this moment, and immediately stopped Mrs. Li: "Mother, mother, forget it, I heard that shopkeeper crying and it was pitiful, isn't he also helpless with that Qin Orion?" Both of them earned money and went to see doctors......"

Speaking of this, Mei Changqing suddenly felt that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and stopped talking.

In this way, people's curiosity was immediately aroused.

"Lao Qin and Lao Zhang seem to be in good health, and they are not sick or sick on weekdays, how can they say that they have gone to see a doctor with all the money they earn?"

"Mei boy, what kind of disease do they have?"

……

Mei Changqing had an expression that I couldn't say, surrounded by people for a long time, only to half vomit and half reveal, saying that the two of them couldn't do that, otherwise they were so old, why didn't they look for their mother-in-law?

It's just that I'm afraid of spreading it, and most of the money I have earned in my life is spent on secretly watching doctors find remedies......

This news is exciting enough, everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it, and they immediately suppressed the matter of how much compensation the Mei family received.

"Alas, I didn't expect Lao Qin to be a useless person, but fortunately I didn't tell him about my sister-in-law at the beginning......"

"It's not ......"

When Mei Xiaotong came out and heard this, she couldn't cry or laugh.

glanced at Mei Changqing: "Okay, let's go home, the family is still waiting." ”

As she spoke, she was about to go out, and Mrs. Li was still holding Mrs. Yang's hand: "Sister of the Yang family, you have to help me watch, if these two people run away, my son-in-law's medical silver will be gone, if there is any movement, you can ask someone to send me a letter......"

Mrs. Yang's mind was on Qin Orion and Shopkeeper Zhang at the moment, so she casually agreed, and tiptoed to look into the courtyard of the Qin family.

Waited until the Mei family squeezed out, got into the carriage and walked away.

The door of the Qin family, which was easily closed by Mei Xiaotong, finally did not hold the curiosity of those neighbors and was pushed open.

Then the big guy saw Shopkeeper Zhang with red eyes, holding Qin Orion's feet, and touching his ankles, Qin Orion whispered something, and Shopkeeper Zhang nodded again and again.

Both of them were still painted with white-eyed turtles on their faces, and two men with stubbled beards, one lying on the ground, one holding the other's feet, how to look at the spicy eyes.

If it was usual, everyone wouldn't think much about it, but the kid from the Mei family said that these two people are said to be incompetent, and if you look at the two of them again, you feel that something is wrong.

Qin Orion and Shopkeeper Zhang saw that so many people poured in without their own consent, and Qin Orion was injured, so he was very unhappy, and then looked at these people, and when he entered the door, he looked at himself and Lao Zhang's eyes, just like looking at some kind of monster.

Suddenly, the irritable temper that was suppressed by Mei Xiaotong broke out: "Who let you in?" Get out of here—get out of here with labor and management—"

The neighbors who came in were scolded, and they couldn't hold their faces anymore, and several people secretly snorted, turned around and left.

The others also withdrew in amazement.

As soon as they went out, everyone began to talk to each other.

"Don't say it, I don't think it is on weekdays, but now it looks like a girl in that shopkeeper on weekdays, dressing more exquisitely than his mother-in-law, which man is like him."

"No, I've heard that those people in the city are very bad

, play everything, it is said that some people, good mothers-in-law don't like it, and have to take the dry road, do you think they will not-" The back smiled meaningfully.

"This is not good, otherwise I think that old Qin's body is quite strong, unlike those who can't do it......"

……

These are all men, exchanging a knowing look, and then looking at the courtyards of the Qin family and the Zhang family, they have a little disdain.

The women's side was even more lively, listening to a few words of the men's words, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and in the end, it was already known to everyone, saying that Qin Orion and Zhang Shopkeeper were broken sleeves, and they were found in the city, and they couldn't stay, so they eloped to Shiqiao Town to hide.

At first, I was thinking about accepting an apprentice as a son, and I would retire in the future, but who knew that later, the apprentice would grow more and more handsome, and the shopkeeper Zhang was worried that he would fall out of favor, so he had a bad mind and wanted to poison the apprentice......

This rumor spread through Stonebridge at a tidal speed.

By the time Qin Orion and Shopkeeper Zhang heard about it, it was no longer a rumor, it was a definite fact.

The two of them almost vomited blood in anger, knowing that this Shiqiao Town would not be able to stay any longer, so they discussed it, left the deed of the bookstore and the courtyard of the Qin family, and left a letter with the words that they would leave this courtyard and bookstore to An Huahao.

Then they left the town of Stonebridge overnight, and they were never seen again.

That's all for later.

When he got out of town, Mei Changqing saw that there was no one in front of him, and immediately asked, "Mother, what about those silver tickets?" Why are they all gone? That's silver, huh? ”

Mrs. Li slowly took out a neatly stacked silver ticket from her arms and stuffed it into Mei Xiaotong's hand: "Wealth is not exposed, so many silver tickets are seen by people, I am afraid that how many people will have bad intentions." I took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention to it, and the rest of the contents of the box were not worth much except for the title deed, and there was nothing for outsiders to see, so as not to suspect that we didn't want anything! ”

Ginger is really old and spicy!

"You take this silver, it's all Hua Hao's, you take it for him first."

Mei Xiaotong didn't take it politely, looked at it and put it in her arms, and actually put it in the storage box.

Outside, Mei Changqing pleaded pitifully: "Mother, what about my medical expenses of fifty taels?" ”

Mrs. Li rolled her eyes, and was about to speak, Mei Xiaotong smiled, "Everyone has worked hard today, and they have helped, and the rest of the silver, let's go back and divide it, it can be regarded as everyone's hard work!" ”

Mrs. Li didn't have time to stop her, Mei Xiaotong had already said something, so she had to endure it.

Hearing his third child cheering outside, even Zhou, Tianlong and Tianhu showed a surprised smile on their faces, and after thinking about it, this time their daughters and sons-in-law made so many money at once, which made people red.

If you don't give the third child and the old family a little benefit, I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep their mouths shut, and the remaining dozens of taels of silver are nothing compared to the daughters and sons-in-law

。

Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Li barely convinced herself.

Back at Mei's house, the Mei family who stayed at home were all worried about it, and when they came back, they knew that things were going smoothly with joy on their faces.

Mei Xiaoque didn't collect the mountain goods anymore, as soon as the things were collected, the door was closed, and the family gathered around the upper room, listening to Mei Changqing talk about their great achievements.

Hearing this, a few little beans were envious, and they couldn't wait for themselves to grow up quickly, so that they could see this kind of scene.

Especially after Mei Changqing said how much compensation she got in the end, the whole family was stupid.

Mei Zhongzhong's cigarette pouch pot fell to the ground, I don't know, Wen's hands are trembling, a few small beans, these days have been learning to settle accounts, comparing for a long time, and I didn't compare how much this more than 1,000 taels of silver is.

Even An Huahao raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Mrs. Li to be so powerful, more than 1,000 taels of silver tickets, plus the deed of the yard, plus those calligraphy and paintings, this is all the belongings of the shopkeeper.

Mei Changqing is illiterate, and thinks that those calligraphy and paintings are not worth mentioning, An Huahao does know, in this pile, the most valuable ones are precisely those calligraphy and paintings.

Speaking of compensation, Mei Changqing also regretted it, "Originally, the little sister calculated that they would be compensated for 4,800 taels, but it's a pity that the compensation for the surname Zhang and the surname Qin didn't come out, if he also lost money, we will send it, and I won't worry about it for the rest of my life......"

Mrs. Li took off her shoes and pulled them over: "I told you, this money is Hua Hao's, it is paid to him, is it your business?" You also sent it, and you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life? Do you want to be shameless? Do you want your brother-in-law to support you for the rest of your life? ”

Zhou's eyes were also red, one thousand five hundred taels, such a huge amount, she never dared to dream of it.

The most unrealistic dream I have ever had in my life is to be able to save a few dozen taels of silver for private money.

Now looking at An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong, they can easily get 1,500 taels, and they really have mixed feelings in their hearts.

An Huahao's heart warmed, no matter why Mrs. Li said so, but this heart, this love, he received it.

Busy said: "The silver of this compensation is thanks to the help of my aunt and third brother, as well as my sister-in-law and two nephews, how can I give me all this money, leave me a little, and the rest ......"

Mrs. Li hurriedly took over: "Let Xiaotong collect the rest for you, and you don't need money to build a house in the future?" You want to buy some family business, right? And this eye, although you take the medicine, you don't know if you can cure the poison, you have to see the doctor, right? Which one doesn't cost anything? ”

"I'll make the decision for you! I will give Xiaotong the silver ticket and let her keep it for you, anyway, you have already made a marriage, and your future will be hers, if you lack silver, you will ask Xiaotong for it, if she doesn't give it to you, you tell your aunt, and your aunt says her! ”

An Huahao nodded hurriedly and behaved: "I listen to my aunt!" ”

Mrs. Li is very satisfied with An Huahao's attitude, a son-in-law who listens to his mother-in-law is a good son-in-law!

"As for us

, Xiaotong also said on the way, the remaining dozens of taels of silver, we all shared, it is considered hard money to help you. ”

Now everyone was happy, and even Mei Zhongzhong sat upright and looked at Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li opened the box, took out the silver ingots, and counted them, no more, no less, sixty taels.

Looking at this white silver, she just wanted to divide it, and Mrs. Li was really reluctant. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "Now the family wants to collect mountain goods, and they want capital, and these sixty taels of silver will be left in the family's capital first, and now a room will be divided into one or two silver, and the rest will be remembered, and at the end of the year, all the mountain goods will be sold, and then distributed to you." ”

Zhou's originally calculated that even if it was divided according to the head of the house, a room could be divided into a dozen taels of silver, but when the mother-in-law said this, the family could only get one or two pieces of silver, and the gap was too big.

Immediately, a few points came out of his face.

Mei Changqing was still happily waiting for the cashier, but suddenly as soon as this mother spoke, the silver in her hand was gone? I was also unhappy: "Mother, this is all said to be distributed to us, and suddenly I said that I won't give it, don't go to the end of the year, just pay the bill, right?" ”

Mrs. Li picked up the broom and gave it to Mei Changqing for a moment, "Is the old lady that kind of person?" Tianlong, take a pen and paper to remember, and at the end of the year, I will give you a room of fifteen taels of silver, right? ”

Mei Changqing couldn't say anything now, but there was still a little reluctance on his face.

Mrs. Li put away the sixty taels of silver, took out two taels of broken silver from the box and threw them on the kang table, looking at the appearance of Zhou and Mei Changqing, she was angry: "The white-eyed wolves who forgot their roots were blinded by these dozen taels of silver, right?" I forgot, who paid for our mountain goods business? What did your sister say at the time when she made the money? She paid for business to support you, but she raised you one by one? ”

"You go out to inquire, whose sister-in-law is so pulling her mother's family? Still not satisfied? Even if you go with me today, what are you doing? Which of you has contributed to the settlement of accounts and asking for money? Isn't it all Xiaotong who came forward? It's already good to give you a tael of silver, whose brother and sister-in-law help my sister-in-law so much, isn't it right? Who has the face to ask for money? ”

"It's just that Xiaotong is generous, I feel sorry for you, and I want to make up for you! You don't even know what your last name is, right? Something without a conscience, these days big fish and meat have eaten your conscience......"

scolded so much that the family's faces were dumbfounded, and they were embarrassed.

Mei Xiaoque hurriedly stood up and said, "Mother, we don't want this silver!" You're right, we're a family, my sister has something, we should be a brother and sister-in-law's help, where can I ask for money? What has come of this? ”

"Now the family's business needs to use silver, this silver is reserved for capital, we are also a part of the family, where can everything rely on the sister-in-law, a few of us are brothers and sisters-in-law!"

As he spoke, he turned his head and glared at Zhou, who shrunk his shoulders and lowered his head.

Mei Xiaotong had something in her heart, and she was relieved to see that Mrs. Li had broken everyone's selfishness, and the eldest brother took the initiative to stand up and speak.

Pulling An Huahao's sleeve: "I'll send you back to the room, I have something to tell you." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the box and helped An Huahao back to the room.

An Huahao sat back on the kang, Mei Xiaotong put the box beside him, took out the silver ticket of 1,500 taels from his arms, put it on it, and pushed it in front of An Huahao together.

An Huahao's eyes have almost recovered today, except that he can't look under the sun for too long, he feels no different from before.

I was amazed at the miraculous effect of the medicine given by Mei Xiaotong, and when I saw Mei Xiaotong pushing these things to herself, I was stunned: "Xiaotong, what are you?" ”

Mei Xiaotong looked at An Huahao lightly: "Are your eyes better today?" ”

An Huahao instinctively felt that something was wrong, Xiaotong was angry, but how could she be angry? Did you go to be wronged today?

An Huahao couldn't control his cranky thoughts.

"It's much better today, and I can see it clearly, but I can't watch it in the sun for too long, and I will get dizzy and black." An Huahao guessed in his heart, and answered honestly.

Mei Xiaotong was relieved, and in his mind, he asked Xiao Tongtong to scan An Huahao to make sure that the toxins in his body were almost cleared, and in the next few days, An Huahao's eyesight will gradually recover, according to his physical fitness, after absorbing all the effects of the Mingmu Pill, his vision will surpass before.

Mei Xiaotong didn't beat around the bush, "I'm going to find your two masters today to vent my anger, I originally planned to just teach them a lesson, and then intimidate." But that Master Qin of yours actually jumped over the wall in a hurry to poison my mother, and I didn't control it for a while, so I went too far, stepped on Master Qin's ankle bones, and gave them a kind of poison......"

She said what she did today very calmly, without hiding it at all.
