Qiao's heart led Zhou's anger to Liu's, and Liu Fu's face sank and said: "Second uncle, if the third room is stolen, wouldn't it be easier to dig a hole from the house to be discovered?" Why bother to go around Houfang Mountain? ”

Zhou frowned, she understands Liu's character, it is impossible to steal food, isn't it stolen by outsiders? But how could a person with such a tight yard and a large family living in his own yard come in and thieves?

Liu Fu said with a worried face: "Grandma, there are thieves in the house, whether it is a thief or a thief, it is imperative to see if you have lost the silver and know it in your heart." ”

Zhou, Song, Qiao, and Chen all had pale faces and quickly ran back to the room, only the third room did not have the slightest worry, and stood in the courtyard without moving half a step.

After a while, Zhou and his daughter-in-law in the third room turned out, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the silver was not lost, and Zhou was relieved.

Qiao Shi looked at Liu, who had not moved half a step, and seemed to have caught the handle and said: "The third brother and sister haven't returned to the house, didn't they move the stolen things away when they collected cow dung?" Not in the house? ”

Liu Wu smiled back quietly: "Second uncle, why do you target me and my mother everywhere?" Does my mother still need to go back to the house to see it? Didn't you just turn the day before yesterday by your aunt and you, and now the quilt is still exposed with cotton! Thieves will be disgusted when they see it, right? Unlike your house, there are many things that are worried about the thief, so you should be in a hurry to see them. ”

said that Sanfang stole things, Zhou didn't believe it when he was beaten to death, except for Liu Wu who became stubborn after being beaten, the other three mothers were all submissive, how could they steal things.

It was the last sentence of Liu Fu, four or two thousand catties, which made the Zhou family instantly alert, the Liu family did not separate the houses, and the silver should belong to the public school, except for the Liu family, the three daughters-in-law all ran back to their own houses to see if they had lost the silver, it goes without saying that except for the three rooms, each room has private silver.

Zhou's eyebrows were twisted, and his eyes were deep and deep looking at the three sons and daughters-in-law other than Liu's, like June Feishuang. After a long time, he was quite unhappy and said: "The eldest daughter-in-law, when you give the herb a dowry, I asked you to take out some dowry as a dowry, you said that the big house is cleaner than the top of the mountain in winter, and it was ruined by the illness of the long river, now, how can there be?" ”

Song shook his head like a rattle, and said hurriedly: "Mother, where is there any silver treasure?" The third brother and sister are not worried about being stolen because the quilt is broken, but I am worried that the new quilt of the tree is too new, but it will be stolen. ”

Zhou's face turned cold: "Quilt? The tree's cave house is in the West House, and you go to the East House, do you think my old woman's eyes are blind? ”

Song and Liu Changhai looked at each other, their faces were white and black for a while, and they didn't say anything for a long time.

Qiao sneered: "Sister-in-law really made a good calculation, eating from the pot, hugging the bowl, and finally letting the second and fourth rooms carry the work for you in vain, today, let's take the matter to the bright side and say, don't hide it." “

Song said angrily: "You fart! Say that I have a good calculation, you don't hide your selfishness? What did you and your four siblings do when they went back to the house? Is it a mouse? Shu'er is the eldest son and grandson, what happened to become a parent? In the future, willow roots, willows and wicker will not marry and beat singles? Besides, why did Shu'er go back to school? Gentlemen say that trees are good materials, and those who think about it can be a big official, don't you follow the light? ”

Qiao Shi snorted from his nose and laughed: "I can't see you when you are not an official, I only know that because that bullshit gentleman wants to come to watch the ceremony, I will spend three taels of silver to buy the groom's robe from the public school, and spend four taels of silver to make a banquet noodles, after eating the banquet noodles, the gentleman patted his ass and left, let us eat bran in the second and fourth rooms!" Let's talk about reading, the willow tree and the willow are the blood of the old willow family, this willow can read it, why can't the willow read it? Why don't you let Liu Zhong go to the school and get a move to let you, the eldest aunt, borrow light?! ”

Song's face turned gloomy, and his eyes widened: "Liu Shu is the eldest son and grandson who inherited the family business, he went to school when he was nine years old, and he studied for four years, which of you can afford it?" Your Liu Zhong is thirteen years old, I don't know Meridian Mu You, I only know how to cut wheat and harvest sweet potatoes, how can I still go to school? ”

The Song family has always regarded himself as the elder, and the willow tree can't lift his shoulders or hands, and when he sees his brothers and sisters' nostrils facing the sky, especially when he sees Sanfang, it's like he owes him 80,000 yuan.

Thirteen-year-old Liu Zhong, like his seventeen-year-old brother Liu Gen, has grown into the appearance of a peasant man, only knowing that facing the loess with his back to the sky, shaving food in the field, and being a little less clever, Qiao's was speechless for a while, and his face was so angry that his face turned into the bottom of a black pot.

Chen, who had been silent, saw that Qiao's had fallen behind, and said with a slight smile: "Sister-in-law means that you have to study as soon as possible, the willow tree is nineteen, the willow root is seventeen, and the willow is thirteen, only our wicker is just nine years old, and the age is just right." ”

"Fart!" Song and Qiao roared in unison, and Song said with a cold face: "Wicker has a heart-eating eye all day long, and he can't take a step when he sees food, if he can pass the exam, the sow can fly to the sky!! ”

Chen's face also darkened, and he glanced at each other with Qiao, and at the same time challenged Song, the noise became louder and louder, and he became more and more chaotic, and he couldn't hear what they were saying.

Zhou was so anxious that he rubbed his hands and roared loudly to stop his mouth, and Liu Wu's heart was happy.

The entire Liu family, between each room and each room, has deep grievances, and it turns out that it can still maintain superficial harmony, and when it comes to the long-term interests in the future, no one hides it, and they all vomit it quickly.

Seeing that the daughter-in-law of the third room was noisy and foaming at the stars, Liu Changhai, Liu Changjiang and Liu Changtan also put aside their brotherhood, their eyes gradually became cold, and they even rubbed their fists.

Liu stepped forward and wanted to step forward to persuade him, but Liu Wu grabbed it and said in a low voice: "Mother, what are you going to do?" It's not something you can handle. ”

Liu said with an embarrassed face: "Family and talent are prosperous, they are all members of the Liu family, and the quarrel hurts and hurts the anger, and it is only serious to come up with a solution." ”

Liu Fu pointed to the uncles who were swordsman, and said coldly: "Mother, how can you solve it?" The Liu family, all year round, from morning to night, shaving in the land, for more than 20 mouths are exhausted, and now they want to provide a reader, who do you want to read, is it for the willow tree to read? Or Yanagina? Or wicker? ”

Liu's eyebrows furrowed, his face was embarrassed, he looked at the big room, then the second room, and then the fourth room, and then hesitated for a long time: "Let's listen to your milk!" Let Willow Go, Willow has been studying for four years after all, and returning to the school is stronger than Willow Root and Willow Zhong! ”

Liu Wu rolled his eyes, spit out a mouthful of turbid breath in his chest, and said quite speechlessly: "Mother, there are scholars in the family, and the grandmother is killed!" When a student enters the school, he will get more than a dozen taels of silver for a disposable pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books, and he will have to pay five taels to ten taels of bunching every year in the future! I heard that those who pass the Jinshi at the age of 50 are considered 'young jinshi', and even if the lobby brother is smarter than others, if he is admitted to the Jinshi at the age of 40, he will have to wait for 21 years later, and the light tuition fee will have to spend more than 200 taels of silver! If you count the travel expenses to the imperial examination every three years, you can't get it without five hundred taels of silver. ”

"So, so much?" Liu was so frightened that he cheated his tongue, in the farmer's house, one or two taels of silver were great silver coins, and five hundred taels was a number that he didn't even dare to think of, so he flinched when he landed.

In the past, Liu's family only knew that reading costs money, but there was no specific concept, only knew that he worked hard and worked again, obedient and obedient again, as long as the whole family offered the willow tree to test the talent and the glorious lintel of the Zhongju people, and now I know that the father-in-law Liu Dianwu may have seen this and let the willow tree leave the school on the grounds that Liu Changhe was sick.

Liu's eyes faded, and there was a faint pain in his heart.

Since the death of his father-in-law Liu Dianwu, Zhou has never asked Changhe to ask Lang Zhong and prescribed medicine, in order to treat Liu Changhe, Liu knelt for Zhou outside the door for a day and a night, Zhou swore that there was no silver at home, and Liu Changhe's sick seedlings were ruined.

The voice fell for only six years, according to the family's twenty acres of land, saving a tael of silver every year, at most only six taels of silver, looking at Zhou's wedding to the willow tree, intending to let the willow tree go to school, at that time, Zhou's had silver in her hand, she should have watched Changhe sick and died.

Zhou's eyes flushed, remembering her husband's reluctant eyes before he died, he said on his deathbed that his illness was a bottomless pit, and if it was not treated, it would not be cured, but he was reluctant to let them have a few mothers, and only hoped that his mother would treat Liu and his children well in the way he worked most diligently for the Liu family in the past.

Seeing that Liu's mood was low, thinking that Liu's was frightened by five hundred taels of silver, Liu Fu felt a little uncomfortable, and said softly: "Mother, don't worry, my second uncle and fourth aunt, they don't really want Liu Zhong and Wicker to go to school, but they have opinions on the silver in the big house duke, you can rest assured, if they fight hard this time, my grandmother will not take them, I can't let this family's heart be scattered, and the willow tree can't go to this school." ”

Liu sighed softly, stopped talking, and stopped thinking about persuasion.

Zhou's roar was hoarse, he couldn't bear it anymore, he picked up the burning stick on his side, and knocked it on the stump of the chopping wood, with a "bang" sound, several rooms quickly quieted down, Zhou's eyes were red and scolded angrily: "Is my old woman a dead person?" I'm talking here, which room wants to go to school, which room gets its own silver, my old woman doesn't have a copper plate here! This seat is just like this, if you find the things that are lost, you will continue to do the same, and if you don't find them, you will go on like this, and no new ones will be filled, how many are counted! ”

Liu Shu's face darkened, and he hurriedly said: "Grandmother, Mr. is a guest professor of Wenchang Academy, and he was received by the emperor, so the dishes can't be too bad......"

Zhou said with a cold look: "Find your mother!" Your mother has silver! ”

Qiao's and Chen's looked at each other and smiled, as Liu Wu said, they weren't really scrambling to let their son go to school, but they didn't want to let the big house take advantage of it for nothing.

In their opinion, the willow tree is more terrible than the sick tuberculosis of Liu Changhe, and everyone can discuss the disease of the sick tuberculosis, you can not buy medicine or invite Langzhong, but this willow tree has entered the school, which represents the face of Liuhe Village, and it is too late to return it.

After such a toss, the silver in this gong was finally saved.
