"Mother!" Zhao Chengcai roared. "You're unreasonable? The money that Master Fang took was what he deserved! If it weren't for the secret recipe from others, what would our family do business with? Besides, this shop, obviously said that it was my mother's dowry, why should I give it to Chengdong? You said that Cheng Dong worked in the store, and his mother didn't give him money, so where did the clothes on his body come from? Where do you get to eat and drink every day? Where did the charcoal come from in this house? Besides, how do you know that your mother didn't pay Chengdong for her salary? I'll tell you the truth! At the end of the year, the mother had already prepared a gift of twenty taels for Cheng Dong and Jinbao, which was regarded as a thank you for their hard work during the opening period! He also said that when the spring begins, as long as they want to do it, it will be two taels of silver per month in the future! If the business grows bigger, and then he becomes a manager, the salary will have to rise in the future! ”

He pointed behind Zhao Wang's and scolded his younger brother, "Cheng Dong, you said it yourself, did you sell that secret recipe for so much silver?" What did your sister-in-law do to you? Does she have favoritism towards you and Jinbao? Why are you so dissatisfied that you have to share her things? Why don't you think about it, why do you want to divide her store? Don't you blush when you say that? Does she have the capital of our family in her store? Who are you so ashamed of! ”

"You're enough!" Zhao Wangshi only felt ashamed, and rudely interrupted Chengcai's words, "You didn't talk like that!" ”

Zhao Chengcai really didn't expect that his most respected mother would instigate his younger brother to do this kind of thing, which was even more uncomfortable than whipping him. "Mother, you weren't like this before! How can you teach your brother to be a thief? ”

"Smack!" Zhao Wang was so scolded that he couldn't raise his head, he just wanted to interrupt Zhao Chengcai's words quickly, and without going through his brain, he raised his hand, and it was crisp and crisp, and slapped Zhao Chengcai loudly.

After this slap, the hot pain in her hand made her feel remorseful, but her mouth was still hard, "What thief?" Your brother is just taking something from his own house, can he be called a thief? ”

Zhao Chengcai was both sad and sad, "Mother, you just beat me again, but I still have to say this!" If you don't ask, you're a thief! Cheng Dong didn't ask his mother, so he secretly took the things in the store, this is being a thief! And what about you, mother, you also instigated him to be a thief, and after instigating, you know that you have made a mistake, but you refuse to repent, which is even more hateful than being a thief! ”

Zhao Wangshi was speechless, and could only put the score of his parents, "You...... You've read a book, have you ever talked to your mother like that? Do you know how to write filial piety? ”

Zhao Chengcai's face was full of pathos, "I just understand and my heart aches!" It's not a few nice words, everything is called filial piety when everything goes according to you! There is still a reason ahead for everything! Do you want me to kill people, set fires, steal and rob to be filial? ”

"Get out of here!" Zhao Wang really couldn't refute it, so he had to lose his temper violently.

Zhao Chengcai nodded, infinitely sour. "It's time for me to get out, I'm going to get out! Such a home, such a you, and such a brother, I don't want to see it again! ”

Zhang Qingting stepped forward, "Mother-in-law, this sentence is also what I want to do to you." ”

She turned around and instructed the Zhang family, "Fluttershy, you stay and pack your things, and my father and I will go out to find Jinbao, and we'll leave as soon as it's dawn!" ”

This is the first time that Miss Zhang has opened her mouth to call Zhang Facai her father. This family, although lazy, is really changing, they are all defending her with a solid heart, and they really treat her as a relative.

Zhao Chengcai looked at Zhang Qingting guiltily and sadly, "Mother, if you don't dislike it, I also want to help find Jinbao." ”

"Let's go!" Zhang Qingting knew that it was none of his business, so he went out with Zhang Facai with a lantern.

Zhang Xiaodie snorted in front of Zhao Wang's family, and went back to the house with Zhang Luoshi to pack up their things.

Zhao Wang just stood dumbfounded, watching the night pass slowly. The sky slowly revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly. Looking at Zhao Chengcai, they came back with a carriage with a disappointed face, with a white face, and dragged all the little luggage into the car.

Zhao Laoshi wanted to speak several times and stopped, but he couldn't hold it back, "you, you really let them go?" ”

Zhao Chengdong also stepped forward in fear, "Mother, uh...... Why don't I go and admit my mistake to my brother and sister-in-law and beg them to stay! ”

Zhao Wang just stood upright, his hands were tightly wrenched, but he refused to say anything.

When he got into the car, Zhang Qingting suddenly fell down.

But everyone was frightened, Zhao Chengcai stepped forward and touched her forehead, it was hot, "This is sick!" Hurry up, go to the pharmacy first! ”

"Let's ...... Let's go check it out! Zhao Laoshi wanted to go out but didn't dare to go out, so he had to watch the carriage disappear quickly in front of him.

When he turned his head again, he saw that Zhao Wang's family was also unstable and shaking.

"Mother! you! ”

Zhao Wang's family finally fell softly.

Coming out of the house, Zhao Chengcai hurriedly sent the fainted Zhang Qingting to the pharmacy first, and the doctor saw that he had a little cold before, but he didn't care about it, and he tossed in the ice and snow all night last night, and he couldn't bear it, so he fell ill. This disease is menacing, but you can't be careless, if you can't sweat, the person will be hopeless. They were prescribed medication. Tell them to take people back to recuperate.

It's almost over, the inns are going to close, Zhao Chengcai thought that there was no business to do anyway, and he had paid the annual rent there, so it was better to go there for the time being.

The Zhang family also agreed, and Zhang Xiaodie will be careful now, saying that the fires there are ready-made, and they have taken all the covers, as long as they add a few more planks, they can live in it. Buying your own groceries and cooking can save you a lot of money than a guest house.

The group came over, Yan Bo saw this situation, and didn't ask much, and immediately vacated the small single room for Zhang Qingting. As soon as the things of the shop outside were moved, the inside and outside rooms were divided into male and female rooms, and they all made do with each other to live in first. Then it's time to go grocery shopping and cooking, preparing to buy groceries and cooking, decoction of medicine, and buying paving boards.

Although there have been great changes for a while, the Zhang family is not as good as before, they rely on Zhang Qingting for everything, and they discuss things with each other, and they are in an orderly manner, without any panic.

Zhang Qingting woke up for a while, only thinking about one thing. "Campbell......

"Don't worry, I'll go to him now, and I will bring him back safely!" Zhao Chengcai appeased her, instructed Zhang Xiaodie to take care of her, and went to the yamen with Zhang Facai and Yan Bo, asking for the assistance of the servants to find Zhang Jinbao. They searched for the neighborhood of their home all night last night but couldn't find it, thinking that Zhang Jinbao was injured again, and they were very worried.

Cheng Zhukuai is used to handling cases, of course he knows how to start, so he will ask them first. "Could it be a visit to a relative's house? Or was it in your house before? It was freezing and wandering outside. In this case, you go back and look for it, and I will take a few brothers to inspect the places in the vicinity of the broken houses and bridges. , all go back to the yamen to breathe. ”

Zhang Facai was still a little hesitant, "It's impossible for relatives, the dilapidated house at home is about to collapse." Can I go back? ”

Yan Bo said, "Very likely! He has no money on him, where else can he go but there? ”

They went to the old house of the Zhang family, and they really asked Cheng Zhu to be right. Zhang Jinbao had nowhere to go in the middle of the night, so he had to limp home. Now the man was cowering in the broken pit of his house, rolled up in a rotten straw mat, unconscious.

Removed the door panel and carried him back, and invited a doctor to come to Yan for treatment, he was covered with scaly wounds, and suffered from freezing all night, like Zhang Qingting, severe wind and cold.

Zhao Chengcai made hot water, and gave his uncle a sad look while wiping his body and changing clothes, these injuries should have been on Zhao Chengdong's body, but Zhang Jinbao innocently received it. And the mother of her own family is still desperately trying to protect her shortcomings, and she refuses to admit her mistake, which is really chilling.

Fang Dehai also said that he came to discuss the construction of a house, but he didn't expect to see that this family was all crowded here, and two of them fell, which was extremely miserable.

After listening to Zhang Xiaodie tell the truth, the old man was so angry that he was about to warp, "Zhao Chengdong's little cub I looked at him with a lot of eyes, I didn't expect it to be so bad!" That is, no one came to deceive him, and sooner or later he would steal something and go out, which is really unbelievable! ”

Zhao Chengcai scolded him with a disgrace, but he was speechless. This is indeed my own mother and brother, and it is very wrong!

Fang Dehai saw that the house here was very small, so he said that they should simply move to his house together. But Zhao Chengcai thought that there were still two patients here, and he couldn't move, although the shop was a little smaller. But everything is ready-made, and it is convenient to buy a grocer or something outside, so I politely declined his kindness.

It's Yan Bo, it doesn't matter if he sees their family crowded together, but it is a little inconvenient to add it by himself, so he offered to ask if he could let him go with Fang Dehai's family, and by the way, he could also help their ancestors and grandchildren chop firewood and carry water, buy vegetables and cook something. If there is anything to contact, he can also come to the market once a day, visit Zhang Qingting, and deliver news, so there is no need for Fang Dehai to run around at such an age.

This Fang Dehai is very welcome, they are old and young, there are indeed many inconveniences in life, to have such a capable young man, the family is indeed a lot easier, and immediately led him to buy some things for the New Year and go home.

Zhao Chengcai took out the twenty taels of silver he had privately hidden, "This is a big New Year, and you don't have to do your old business, you can take this money back for the New Year first!" ”

Fang Dehai resolutely didn't, "You guys ran out and didn't do anything, why are you polite to me?" I still have one or two taels of silver there, and my life is not worried. You just take good care of your daughter-in-law and Jinbao, and after the New Year, we will slowly plan what to do! ”

Zhao Chengcai thanked him for his reasonableness and sent the person away.

Counting the day, today is the twenty-eighth year of the year, and their family still has nothing, and they really have to go out to prepare for the New Year.

The more demoralized you are, the more you have to look like a flower. Zhao Chengcai acted quickly, discussed with Zhang Facai, and went to the street together, regardless of the price, to purchase on a large scale, preparing for a lively New Year.

(PS Whew!) Brother Cai is finally going to go crazy and run away from home collectively. A new year has begun, and a new page in life will begin...... Hey! Come and encourage Xiaoqingting! ）
