Just when the two sisters of the Chu family were thinking of countermeasures, the mother and son of the Zhu family were not idle after arriving home.

After Zhu Shi arrived home, he closed the door, looked around vigilantly, and found that after everyone in the family went out to work, he opened the brocade bag in his hand, and after looking at the silver inside, the whole person was stunned: "Shao, Shaowen, there are almost ten taels of silver here!" ”

Chu Shaowen's eyelids jumped, but his face was still calm, and he said: "Mother, this is nothing, Chu Xiaoliu only sells it for money in a day, she has sold wild meat for a long time, and there must be more in her hands." He then stretched out his hand, "Mother, after two days, I will invite my master to eat in the restaurant, you can give me the silver." ”

The smile on Zhu's face was suddenly stuck, she squeezed the silver in her hand, hesitated, and took out five taels of silver from it: "These silver are a lot, it should be enough for you to eat, anyway, it's just a classmate, so you don't have to eat too expensive." ”

Chu Shaowen thought of the pity in the eyes of his classmates, his face immediately sank, and he said solemnly to Zhu: "Mother, you are wrong, it is precisely because you are a classmate that you want to invite them to eat more expensive." Because when I become an official in the future, I absolutely can't do without their help, how can I save it? ”

"This ......" Although the Zhu family is a little smart, they are only among the women in the village, and they don't know what to be an official at all, but now they are bluffed by Chu Shaowen.

Seeing that she was still hesitating, Chu Shaowen frowned slightly, lowered his voice and said: "Mother, won't it be good for you if I become an official and have a career in the future, don't say ten taels when the time comes, even if it is one hundred taels, will I treat you badly?" It's not like I don't know what you've done for your son all these years. With that, he sighed.

After all, it is the child he values the most, Zhu Shi's heart softened when he looked at him like this, and he hurriedly stuffed the silver in his hand: "Mother is a country woman, she doesn't know much, you are the most sensible and intelligent, and my mother believes that you will not use this money indiscriminately." ”

Chu Shaowen took it and said a few good words before receiving the silver into his pocket.

At this time, he seemed to remember something: "Mother, look at Dad's legs ......"

"You don't really want to break his leg." Zhu was slightly shocked.

Chu Shaowen hurriedly waved his hand: "Mother, what are you talking about?" I mean you talk to Daddy and let Daddy pretend to be sick. Although I haven't paid much attention to Chu Xiaoliu before, but looking at what Chu Xiaoliu has done recently, she is not a person who is easy to fool, and now she is lying to her about her father's broken leg, she must be deceived seriously. ”

After speaking, he sighed, "It's just that with my father's temperament, I don't know how many taels of silver we can get." ”

"Look at what I said at this time, Dad is Dad after all, can he not give us a penny?" As if he realized that he had said something wrong, he hurriedly smiled and walked towards the house with Zhu in his arms.

In the evening, Chu Shaowen had already left, and he was still going to take the children's test one day, and he had to review his homework.

But Zhu couldn't sleep at night, and Chu Shaowen's words kept echoing in her head during the day. Another turnover, a sudden pain in the waist.

She was kicked to the ground.

"You mother-in-law is like a maggot in a pit, moving around, and you won't let you sleep?" Chu Zhengxiong, who was noisy, turned over, scolded and scolded, and as he spoke, his mouth began to snore.

Zhu sat on the ground and rubbed his waist, looking at his back, his eyes full of resentment.

Since Chu Xiaoliu and the others left, Chu Zhengxiong has often punched and kicked her, and the flesh on her body is not good, it is all bruised and purple.

“…… With my father's character...... How many taels of silver shall we receive? ”

Suddenly, Chu Shaowen's words swirled in Zhu's heart again.

In the dead of night, evil is most likely to arise from the guts.

Zhu looked around cautiously, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the wooden stick placed in the corner. She got up slowly, picked up the thick stick, and slowly walked towards Chu Zhengxiong, who was defenseless in his sleep.

Look at his legs first, then gradually move your gaze to his head.

Biting her lip, her eyes crossed with cruelty, and after raising the stick, she closed her eyes and slammed it down on his head. Poor Chu Zhengxiong, he only had time to snort before he fainted.

"The child is his father, the child is his father." Zhu slapped his face, and after seeing that he had completely fainted, she lifted the quilt and slammed it on his leg. It wasn't until his calf twisted at an abnormal angle that she shuddered and put down the stick in her hand.

"Chu Zhengxiong, don't blame me, you forced me!"

In the darkness, the wide-eyed Zhu trembled, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, she slammed the wooden stick in her hand to her neck.

With a thud, she herself fell to the ground.

Early the next morning, Chu Zhengxiong was broken by thieves at night and fell unconscious, and the news instantly spread all over Lushui Village.

The people in the slack time were going to secretly watch the excitement, but they didn't want to be found by the Zhu family one by one.

At noon, the sun was just right.

A group of people gathered at the bottom of the back mountain in twos and threes, and they didn't dare to go up at all. Inside, there is a woman with swollen eyes crying.

Aunt Zhang comforted the woman with crying and swollen eyes: "Daughter-in-law of the Chu family, don't worry, your family has suffered such a catastrophe, and Chu Xiaoliu will help everything he says." ”

Zhu Shi gasped, looked around at the people around, and said gratefully: "Thank you big guy for being willing to come with me, I really didn't expect someone to go to my house last night to steal things, and also broke my family's leg, now is the time to use the money urgently, I hope Xiaoyanagi can pity us and save Masao." ”

Although the other people who were found out by the Zhu family were a little reluctant, they were not obvious on the surface.

One of the fat aunts with small eyes rolled her eyes, took Zhu's hand enthusiastically, and said, "Daughter-in-law of the Chu family, what are you talking about, Zhengxiong is a person from our village, a neighbor for many years, even if you don't ask for us, we won't ignore him." ”

"Pillar daughter-in-law, I, I really don't know how to repay you, now it's just time to go to the farm, and I can finally rest, but because of my family's affairs, I still ran out for a trip, I'm really sorry." Zhu sobbed a few times, full of guilt.

Immediately afterwards, she said bitterly: "The family has no money to treat Masao, only Xiaoyanagi sells game in the town every day and earns a lot of silver." But Xiaoliu has always disliked me as a stepmother, so I can't help it, so I found you to come with me and help me talk about it when the time comes. ”

A gleam flashed in the small eyes of the daughter-in-law of the pillar: "The daughter-in-law of the Chu family will see the outside, as long as you let your Xiaoliu tell us one or two ways to catch game." ”

When everyone heard this, they instantly came to their senses, and they were enthusiastically pulled up almost.

Zhu's face stiffened, but after thinking that he couldn't do without their help if he wanted to take Chu Xiaoliu's silver, he immediately said: "Don't worry, I will definitely let Xiaoliu tell you, if she doesn't listen to me, the stepmother, when the time comes, Zhengxiong will be fine, and I will let him, the father, say it." ”

As she spoke, she looked at the shade behind her.

There was a person on the wooden board on the other side of the tree, and if you looked closely, wasn't it Chu Shaoxiong who was in a coma? At this time, the swollen boss of his broken right leg looked particularly scary.

Just looking at it, Zhu's brows furrowed, and he couldn't help crying again, and said anxiously: "I don't know where Xiaoliu is hiding in the back mountain?" If you don't look for her to get the silver again, I'm afraid Masao's leg will be wasted. ”

"Why don't we go to the back mountain to find it together, and a group of us are not afraid of anything unclean." Aunt Zhang looked anxious and frowned.

Because of Zhu's promise, several young men responded one after another. Although the other people in the village were a little hesitant, they couldn't say anything when they saw Zhu crying like that.

Just as the crowd hesitated, a carriage came running from the direction of the town, and in a moment it was in front of everyone.

Passing in front of them, the car suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, the curtain of the car was lifted, revealing Chu Xiaoliu's surprised face: "Yo, what are you doing?" Why did you all come here? ”

After jumping out of the carriage, she walked up to Zhu and said, "Mother, why are you here?" ”

"Xiaoliu, your father, your father......" said Zhu Shi and pointed to Chu Zhengxiong who was lying in the shade of the tree.

Chu Xiaoliu frowned slightly when he saw Chu Zhengxiong lying alone on the wooden board, and after falling into Aunt Zhang's eyes, Aunt Zhang couldn't help sneering: "Why, I can casually earn a few taels of silver a day, but I don't want to care about my father's injury?" ”

It's sour. But not only Aunt Zhang is sour, but who is not sour among the people around? A few taels of silver a day, which they never dreamed of.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Chu Xiaoliu's eyes full of jealousy.

The daughter-in-law of the pillar rolled her eyes, stepped forward and grabbed Chu Xiaoliu and persuaded her loudly: "Child, no matter what, it is your father who is lying there, don't you want to treat him, anyway, for you, it's just a little leak from your fingers." ”

As if he had just come back to his senses, Zhu hurriedly took Chu Xiaoliu's hand, and said while crying: "Yes, Xiaoliu, your father has also hugged you and hurt you, and your relationship is poor now because of me, as long as you are willing to give money to save your father, I, I am willing to be divorced!" ”

"Dismissed?!" Aunt Zhang couldn't help but scream, and hurriedly grabbed Zhu, "What kind of stupid thing are you talking about, how can a woman live if she is divorced?" After speaking, she looked at Chu Xiaoliu, who was watching the play on the side, and scolded angrily: "Chu Xiaoliu, don't go too far, we big guys are all watching." ”

"Auntie, are you too excited, where did I say that I want to let my mother leave the house? I didn't say a word just now, but I listened deeply to your teachings. Chu Xiaoliu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

Aunt Zhang thought about it, and her face stiffened after finding that Chu Xiaoliu really didn't say this, and hurriedly said, "Then why did you frown when you saw your father before?" Aren't you unwilling to heal him? ”

Chu Xiaoliu sighed: "What did my aunt say, I was going to go home to see my father and mother in the morning, but I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the village, I heard the news that my father's leg was broken. ”

"Doctor?" Aunt Zhang was surprised, and looked around, "Where?" ”

Chu Xiaoliu smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and opened the car curtain: "Doctor Zhang, the boat is tired, you have worked hard." ”
