"It's a pity that there is no wasteland around my Zhuangzi, even the mountain I also bought, don't underestimate my Zhuangzi, the annual output is now more than 3,000 taels of silver. [.].. This year, I want to be in that kind of a few acres of melon, watermelon, although the price of watermelon has dropped a lot in recent years, but the income is still higher than that of other species. I now find out why rich people love land, in fact, the income of land is higher than that of shops, and the land can pay for itself in five or six years after a good year. It basically takes 10 years for the shop to recoup its investment. ”

"But no, thanks to the good times in those years, our family sold at a good price, and bought land and shops, my mother said that there are more watermelons now, and our family's income is not half of what it used to be."

While the sisters and brothers were talking, Lin Kangping ran in and asked Zixi to go back, saying that Chunyu was kneeling at the door and asked Zixi for something.

Ziqing was startled when she heard this, she didn't care about asking anything, she pulled Zixi and was about to go out, Lin Kangping asked Zixi to go first.

Lin Kangping wanted to say something, but his appearance of wanting to speak again attracted Ziqing's attention and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Something to hide from me? ”

"You sit down first, don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly. Do you remember that day when our father said that Ermao's silver came from somewhere? I wondered what bad this kid might be holding back? Why don't I find someone to check him, don't do anything hurtful, who knows that I really guessed it, he teamed up with the man of osmanthus, and several, started to be abducted, Da Mao's daughter was abducted by them, Ermao knew, personally took someone to chase after him, and chased the child back. ”

"What do you mean, this Ermao is a kidnapper? How can you kidnap your niece? It's also so inhuman. ”

"The kid was taken by someone else. Ermao didn't know in advance. Later, when the child came back, Da Mao was suspicious of Ermao, and he had a quarrel with Ermao, and I found out about it. Originally, they were quite secretive. If I hadn't suspected Ermao, I would have found some clues through Da Mao's matter. [~] I'm afraid it's really hard to find them for a while. ”

"And now? Did you report to the police? That's why my aunt came to my father and son to plead with them? ”

Lin Kangping looked at Ziqing's eyes and said, "Qing'er, you have to blame me, I won't excuse myself, I know that no matter what, they are our father's relatives." Reasoning, I should turn a blind eye. It's just that I think this fact is too hurtful. I secretly reported to Master Fu without consulting you, because there is more than one person in Ermao, there are more than ten people in total, and I don't know how many children have suffered. Originally, when Ah Gong was sick that day. I just wanted to tell you, I saw that Ah Gong was angry, and I was a little uneasy. ”

Ziqing sat down after hearing this, thought for a while and said, "Kangping, I don't blame you, this matter will come out sooner or later." People like them, for the sake of silver, have no humanity at all, what kind of relatives are they? Righteousness will destroy relatives. What's more, our two families have long broken off contact, and they are not close friends. It's just that don't mention this to anyone else yet. ”

Lin Kangping hugged Ziqing and said, "You can think so, I feel much more relaxed." I didn't want to talk to you first, because I was afraid that you would have a burden in your heart. But I don't think it's right to hide it from you, I did it, it has nothing to do with you, and I have to bear it. Let's go, let's see what's going on with my father's side? ”

Lin Kangping held Ziqing's hand, Zeng Ruixiang and the Shen family were sitting in the hall, Simao knelt in the hall and cried and pleaded, "Second uncle, now only the second uncle's family can save my second brother and them, so I can watch my relatives and spare their lives, in the future, I will definitely look at him and not let him make mistakes." ”

"You get up, it's not something we can do. Ermao made those mistakes, he didn't repent in prison for all these years, and after he came out, he colluded with outsiders to steal from Ziqing's village, your grandfather and grandmother pleaded, Kang Ping spared him, he still didn't repent, but intensified. Think about it, how much of a sin it is to abduct and sell children, why don't you think about it for the child's father? Now that the entire Anzhou capital is boiling, how can the people be angry if they are not punished? The eyes of the big guys are staring at it. If you think about it, who can intercede here? ”

"This is called self-inflicted iniquity, and you may not live, and you will remember their lesson all your life." Zilu said.

Simao's face was as silent as death when he heard this, and Zifu said: "Your father and mother are still outside, you took them to their house first, and Hengzhi is also on holiday when the government is on vacation, and it is not a matter of time to find someone." You must not tell your grandparents about this, remember? ”

Simao cried and asked, "Is there really no way?" ”

"Let them tell everything they know, try their best to get back the abducted and trafficked children, and maybe the death penalty can be avoided, and see if they can be sentenced to Qiongzhou." Zixi said.

Simao listened and said: "I can't go in to see them, why don't I ask my cousin to help me intercede, let me go in and take a look at them, tell them a few words, and see if I can get a few people back first?" ”

Before Zixi could speak, the doorbell rang, and Shi Pozi rushed in and said, "Master, Mrs. Gu, they went to find the old man, I can't stop it." ”

Zeng Ruixiang hurriedly rushed out when he heard this, and Simao, Zifu and Zilu followed closely and hurriedly ran out.

"Ermao is not unknown for why he was arrested, a few days ago it was because the daughter of Da Mao's family was abducted, Ah Gong was already so angry that he was bedridden, and the doctor told Ah Gong not to be stimulated, why did he come to add to the blockage? Could it be that she really wants to be angry with her grandfather? Zixi asked.

"What's the use of saying this now? Let's go over and see. After Ziqing finished speaking, she held Lin Kangping's hand.

When Ziqing passed, there were a bunch of people in the room, Chunyu and Ermao's wives and osmanthus were crying, Zeng Ruixiang kicked them out, and sent Zilu to invite the doctor and Zeng Ruiqing, the old man was lying on the bed, his face was pale and pale, and he didn't look angry, Tian was choked on the side.

Zeng Ruiqing and Zhou's came faster, and later, Dr. Zhou also came, gave the old man a few pieces of ginseng, checked the pulse, and pricked a few needles, the old man woke up, and at this time, Qiuyu's family also came.

The old man's eyes slowly turned, looking at Zifu, Zifu hurriedly stepped forward, the old man stretched out his hand, Zifu hurriedly grabbed it, and the old man asked slowly: "Ermao's matter, is there really no way?" ”

Zifu couldn't bear to tell the truth, so he had to say with tears in his eyes: "Xiaosi has already sent someone to the Fu family to intercede, and his life is finally fine, as long as he has a good life in the future." Grandpa, don't worry. ”

After listening to this, the old man looked at Zixi, and Zixi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will personally intercede with the prefect of Anzhou in the next year, why do you want to sell me a few thin noodles, save my life first and then try to do anything else." ”

The old man nodded with satisfaction, closed his eyes and rested for a while, opened his eyes, and said, "Call Chunyu in, I still have something to tell her." ”

Chunyu and Yan Renda came in, Chunyu saw the old man wake up, and hurriedly knelt down and pounced, and said: "Dad, I am not a heart, and my daughter has no choice, Dad, it has come to this point, and the second brother still won't let me enter the door, what can I do?" Ermao's daughter-in-law and osmanthus still have children in their wombs, and I can't watch the children come out without a father... ”

Chunyu was still about to speak, but was drunk by Zeng Ruixiang, the old man looked at Chunyu and said slowly: "It's all my father's fault, your mother has spoiled you since you were a child, you don't know how to be grateful, not only lazy and selfish, but also don't know how to teach children, I know it's wrong, because your mother protects you, and I didn't pull you over." Chunyu, it's my father's fault, so I can only swallow this bitter fruit by myself. Ahem... ”

"Dad, don't talk about it, drink some water." Zeng Ruixiang persuaded.

The old man shook his head, and then said: "Ermao's matter, I have already interceded with Zifu and Zixi, this is the last time I will take care of your affairs, you remember, in the future, you have to rely on yourself, Dad, even if you want to manage it, you can't manage it." After the old man finished speaking, a line of tears flowed out of the cloudy corners of his eyes.

"Dad, you don't want a daughter anymore, you don't want Chunyu anymore? Dad, you can't leave me alone, Dad. Chunyu shouted.

Qiu Yu pulled Chunyu with a look of disgust, and said, "Eldest sister, what are you shouting, our father wants to recuperate, you don't know, what kind of mess are you adding, don't hurry home." ”

At this time, there was a shouting at the door, it turned out that Sanmao's wife Hongxiu came to the door with the child, she put down the child when she entered the door, and beat Ermao's wife well, scolding while beating: "Black-hearted things, other people's brothers can take their younger brothers to do something good, but you are good, outsiders are not calculating enough, even their own brothers are calculated, I don't want to live a good life, hurry to send it to Lord Yama, and I don't have to pull my Sanmao, I don't care, I will live in your house with the child after the horizontal vertical, you will raise it for me." ”

Ermao's wife is a widow, she is old and spicy, or she can't hook up with Ermao, at this moment, Hongxiu is a slap in the face, pointing at Hongxiu and scolding: "If you are not afraid that I will sell your child, you will put it to me, and you still want me to raise a child for you, you have your big dream." I don't know who to raise? When I find a good match, let him raise you. If you are willing to be small and bring us foot water, I have no opinion. Do you think your Sanmao is a good one? If he is not greedy for money, can he follow Ermao? Why don't you say it when you divide the money? This will want to buckle the basin on our heads, and look at me as a good temperament by you to rub it, and you will mistake your aunt and me... ”

Both of them had loud voices, and when Zeng Ruixiang and Zeng Ruiqing came out to drink them, the old man had already understood, Sanmao also had an accident, and it was another line of tears.

Zifu saw that he was busy and said: "Ah Gong, don't worry, I inquired about Sanmao, and Sanmao just helped to send the message." He won't have any major crimes, and he should be able to come out in a few years.

Qiu Yu was also busy persuading on the side: "That's it, Dad, you take care of it, Zifu and Zixi have agreed to intercede on these things, you can rest assured." ”

The old man shook his head and pondered for a long time before he said, "Call your eldest brother and second brother in, I have something to say." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )..
