In summer, there is nothing more joyful than the moisturizing freshness after a light rain. However, if this light rain falls for a while or for half a night, it is really annoying.

The capital of the Snow Country, which is hundreds of miles away from the green hills, is shrouded in a mist-like light rain at this time, and people who have not seen the sun for a long time are faintly impetuous. Even the guard dogs of each family couldn't help but raise their heads and whimper a few times, and finally continued to retract back to the kennel to take a nap listlessly.

In the main room of the Fang family, Ma was bringing a big maid to take inventory, and occasionally looked at the second door with eyes full of anxiety and worry. The big girl peeked at it, pouted secretly, stretched out her hand to push the account book to Ma's, and whispered, "Madam, take a look." This month, I'm afraid it's again..."

"Blooming again?" Ma Shi retracted his mind, stared at the account book for a long time, his face was even worse, and he said angrily, "Thirty-two families are not enough, where is the money spent?" ”

The maid lowered her head and responded in a soft voice, "Madam, the old man spent fifteen taels on the day of the banquet, and the old lady said that she had a headache the day before yesterday and bought two taels of bird's nest, and the eldest young master also paid ten taels..."

"Say no more!" Ma Shi waved his hand irritably, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and instructed, "I will talk about the old man and the old lady, as for Brother Wen... He wants to test his fame, how can he not make a few friends, he is justified in using money. ”

"Yes, ma'am." A hint of disdain flashed in the maid's half-drooping eyes, it would be good if the eldest young master took the money to make friends, I am afraid that most of them will be spent on which prostitute. This Fang family really has no hope in the future, and there will be times when they can't eat sooner or later.

Ma Shi didn't know what the maid was slandering in her stomach, frowned and thought about it and then instructed, "Also, the matter of the exchange of those two shops must not be told to the master." If anyone dares to talk more, be careful that I sell her into the flower building! ”

"Yes, ma'am, the slave doesn't dare."

While their master and servant were talking, they heard a faint commotion outside the second gate. Before Ma got up and walked to the door of the house, two people had already turned out from behind the shadow wall. Master Fang pinched his son's ear with one hand, and slapped his son with the other hand, and the distressed Ma ran over in three or two steps, pleading, "Oh, master, what did Brother Wen do wrong, and you punished him like this?" The yard is full of people, you save some face for him, come into the house and say, enter the house! ”

Master Fang Xu fought all the way, and his anger in his heart disappeared a lot, and he turned his head to look at the girls in the yard, and let go of the house with a cold "hum".

Fang Dashao's ears were free, and he immediately stretched out his hand to rub it, and complained to his mother, "Mother, my father is crazy." Ask my grandmother to save me! ”

Ma Shi arranged his clothes distressedly, and whispered, "Don't worry, your grandmother will be here in a while." It's you, why did you make your father angry again? ”

Fang Dashao laughed dryly twice, and responded, "It's nothing, who knows what's wrong with my father?" ”

Seeing that his son didn't say anything, Ma didn't ask much, the mother and son entered the house, and Ma had to beckon the maid to serve tea and snacks to cushion his son's stomach, not wanting Master Fang to raise his eyebrows and make his son kneel.

Ma also asked for mercy, but Master Fang slapped him on the table, bluffing her into closing her mouth immediately.

When Mrs. Fang arrived with the maid's arm, she saw the scene in the house and asked, "Son, what did Brother Wen do wrong, you are so angry." He's still young, so you can teach him a few more lessons. It's cold on the ground, what if you get the root of the cold legs? ”

Fang Da rarely saw that the savior arrived, and immediately rushed over and hugged his grandmother's leg, "Grandma, you want to save Brother Wen'er, my father is going to kill me." ”

"He dares!" Old Mrs. Fang glared at her grandson and said, "My family is the only seedling of yours, if you have a good one, my old wife will not live." ”

Seeing that the old lady and his wife were protecting their son like this, Master Fang was so depressed that he could explode with a breath.

"A habitual son is like a murderer! You just spoil him, our Fang family is finished, what kind of scholarly family, it will be a gambler's family in the future! ”

"What kind of bastard are you talking about!" Mrs. Fang helped her grandson sit on the chair, frowning and scolding her son. The old lady is high in her bones, and the name of this scholarly family is what she is most proud of, and she naturally dislikes it when she hears her son say this.

Master Fang pointed at Fang Dashao, his face turned pale and scolded, "This bastard thing, going out every day in the name of visiting friends, is actually going to the casino to hang out with Hualou." If these are just enough, someone actually came to me today to ask for a debt, which is more than 200 taels of silver. In front of my old friends, I wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into! ”

"What, it's two hundred taels again!" Ma Shi's face changed when he heard this, he stepped forward and pulled his son's sleeve, and asked urgently, "Didn't you tell your mother that you won't gamble in the future, why did you lose so much?" Where do you want your mother to raise money to pay off her debts? ”

Fang Dashao reached out to pour the tea indifferently, and replied casually, "Isn't there a shop at home, just sell one." When I am lucky enough to win a lot of money, I will definitely buy a few more rooms for my mother! ”

"Where is there a shop at home, last time in order to pay off your gambling debts, it has been sold out!"

"Is there a grange, let's sell it too?"

The discussion between the mother and son was lively, and the old man Fang over there was already so angry that his face was darker than soy sauce, he casually picked up the teacup and ran to the mother and son and smashed it, "You loser brutes!" My house will be destroyed in your hands, see if I don't kill you! ”

After saying that, he took off his shoes and rushed to the two of them, and fought without a head or face.

Ma's mother and son suffered pain, and then remembered that they had leaked the old bottom cleanly just now. The two of them were weak and frightened, so they jumped up and hid behind Mrs. Fang.

Mrs. Fang was also distressed that her family's property had been ruined, how could she shelter them? Stretched out his hand and pulled them out, and said angrily, "Two losers' things, they should have a meal!" ”

When Ma heard this, he saw that his son was beaten and ran away, so he was angry for a while, and he had no scruples. She stretched out her finger and scolded Mrs. Fang and Mr. Fang, "You actually say that our mother and son are losers, are you good people?" Knowing that the family is in a bad situation, one still has to drink ginseng soup and eat bird's nest every day, and the other has a three-room concubine, where is it not silver? The purpose of selling the shop is to pay off Wen Ge'er's gambling debts, but the remaining hundreds of taels are all spent by you. If you want to talk about losers, you can't escape! ”

Old Man Fang was scolded a little weakly, and the soles of his shoes fell slowly, and Mrs. Fang also coughed dryly and persuaded twice, "Okay, don't make trouble." Since there is something difficult at home, you should speak up and discuss a solution. If you don't make it clear, we don't care about the account, how can we know these inside information. ”

Ma pursed his lips, scolded the old fox twice in his heart, and then helped his son up, patted off the dust on his body and sat directly on the chair. Master Fang pinched his shoes, frowned and sat down silently.

The room was extremely silent for a while, and after a long time, it was Mrs. Fang who spoke first, "I used to live like this at home, but I didn't expect to embarrass my daughter-in-law." Since the family is in a bad situation, ... Cut back on some of the usage. ”

Master Fang also sighed and said, "Mother is right, the subordinates of each courtyard have been dismissed if they are not used." ”

Ma deeply hated Master Fang's flamboyant concubines, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately said, "Okay, I'll find someone to sell those concubines and their maids in a while, plus the porter's servants and kitchen handymen, how can I sell them back for a hundred taels." It just so happens that the day after tomorrow Lord Liu's birthday, the lord will go to buy a birthday gift and walk around, and I will ask my brother to help say a few words of peace, and maybe the lord's errand will be settled. ”

Hearing that his wife was going to sell his beloved concubine, the corners of Master Fang's distressed eyes twitched. He was willing to object, but Ma's banner was for his errand, and he even had to rely on her maternal brother, and his mouth was closed a few times. Secretly comforted himself, if he had an errand and made money in the future, he could buy any kind of beautiful concubine.

Ma also pondered in her heart that she had finally made a threat, shocking her mother-in-law and husband, how could she seek more benefits for herself and her son, so she took a sip of tea and spoke, "I heard from people a few days ago that Brother Guan seems to have opened another restaurant in the Northland, and the business is doing very well. It just so happened that Brother Wen was fine at home, so it was better for the master to send him to the north to help the official brother. His brother is always more reliable than outsiders, and it just makes Brother Wen learn to learn from the world, otherwise his pure temperament will be easy to suffer in the future. ”

"What, to the Northlands?" Master Fang frowned, and replied in a low voice, "Brother Guan'er has already split up his family, his business has nothing to do with us, what is it if you let Brother Wen help, Brother Guan'er's temper..."

"What do you mean it's irrelevant to us?" Ma Shi glared, "He is a separate family, but he still has the surname Fang." His business, we didn't talk about robbery, but let Brother Wen go over to help him take care of it, his brother is more reliable than outsiders. Besides, if Brother Guan has a heart, he will pay dozens of taels of hard work every month, and our family will have more money. ”

What else did Master Fang want to say, but Mrs. Fang was already moved by Ma's words, and opened her mouth to persuade, "Son, you can just go, Brother Guan'er's child looks fierce, but his heart is soft." You go with Brother Wen to take a look, if he misses the old love better, if he doesn't miss the old love, we will be cut off from this belly in the future. ”

The old mother and wife are all planning like this, and Master Fang can't resist it. He sighed heavily, got up, and walked out, acquiescing to this.

Fang Dashao heard that his most jealous brother's business had become bigger again, and his heart was like a hundred little mice scratching, and he couldn't wait to immediately rush to rob him of his money, his business, his yard, and everything he had! Why should he, the eldest son, be beaten for a gambling debt of 200 taels, and he will have smooth sailing, fine clothes and jade food.

Ma didn't have a good intention, so he pulled his son and whispered for a long time, it was nothing more than how to pretend to be well-behaved and pitiful, and how to benefit himself after winning Fang Jie's trust, of course, it would be best if he could finally take the restaurant over...

In Nangou Village, outside Cuiluan City, Fang Jie and Pu Cao still didn't know that the greedy wolf was coming to the door again. The two of them were sitting in one place at this time, counting the white flowers, laughing and happily placing them in the small box.

(This is from four o'clock in the morning, almost died of illness in the past two days, and finally survived.) Anyway, the day before yesterday, I had a high fever and dizziness, I was so hungry that my chest was close to my back, and there was nothing to eat in the refrigerator. It's desperate to look around at the empty space, not even a gasping mouse. I don't know how my life is so lonely, I feel a lot better when I get up this morning, and my mood has changed, the future is beautiful, and we must persevere. Thank you friends for your support, and I will definitely work harder. ）
