Seeing that he was down to business, He Mai opened his mouth and asked Niu Yongwang if he still had a lamb.

Niu Yongwang smiled: "There are three more, hey, this year, no one wants to give away the pig lamb for nothing!" ”

Xiujuan echoed: "No! In our village, there are not many people who have the conditions to raise three pigs, and those who have the ability are either unwilling to endure hardships or don't have that kung fu! ”

He Mai Waner smiled, "Uncle Yongwang, Aunt Xiujuan, in fact, I won't tell you that my family Liulang made a pigsty a few days ago, and I wanted to take a few pigs back to raise them!" Today I asked my grandmother, and she told me that Uncle Aeon has a sow in your house, and no, I came. ”

Niu Yongwang laughed and said, "That's great! We are now worried about where to send this pig lamb, if you want it, girl, it is really good, you can take all three! ”

Aeon said, and was about to get up and go to the backyard to catch piglets for He Mai, but He Mai hurriedly stopped, "Uncle Aeon, don't worry! All I need is two lambs! ”

In addition to the rabbit she brought today, she brought an additional 200 copper coins, which is just enough for the silver of two pigs.

"Hey, take one more head and go back to raise!" Xiujuan snorted angrily, "Don't hide it from you, your uncle and I are worried about this, you say, who is this pig lamb for?" If the people who send it are not well raised, isn't it a waste of the pigs? Girl, if your uncle and I know that you and Liulang can raise pigs, the four or five pigs in front of you will still be sent to the people of Qinglu Village from afar! ”

He Mai smiled embarrassedly, "But Uncle Yongwang, I only brought two copper coins of the Lamb today......"

Niu Yongwang glared, "What kind of money is not money, who let you take the money?" ”

Saying that, the two of them stuffed the baby into Hemai's hand, and went to the backyard to catch the pigs.

He Mai is very embarrassed, he has received so much care from the Niu brothers before, and now his life is much better, but he can't take other people's things for nothing!

She put the two hundred copper coins on her body under the bedding of the kang head, and carefully patted and patted it, so that the futon looked like no one had touched it, this kung fu, the doll in her hand saw her hiding something in the futon, giggling, and shouted inarticulately: "Money...... Big money ......"

"Shh

He Mai hurriedly smiled and made a silent gesture, holding the baby in his arms and shaking it around, gently coaxing.

Tong Yan is unscrupulous, but you can't let this baby be bad!

After a while, the three little pigs were shouting in the yard, humming and chirping loudly, and the yard was noisy and lively.

Niu Yongwang and his wife came in with a smile, and Yongwang said: "Girl, you wait a while, I will send the stone to your grandmother Huang's house next door to see it for a while, and I will go with your aunt to send the pig lamb to your home!" ”

He Mai hurriedly refused, "Uncle Niu is so troublesome!" You and your aunt are sitting at home, and I can make two more trips to the village! I can't let you and your aunt follow the trouble! ”

Aeon smiled and said, "What's the trouble and no trouble, just the two steps in the village are still far away?" Didn't the two buyers in Qinglu Village also send the pigs and lambs to us? Let's go, what's the cost of a stick of incense! ”

Xiujuan also persuaded on the side, and He Mai had to watch Niu Yongwang send the stone to the next door, and come over, and the three of them walked to Liulang's house with a lamb one by one.

In the past few days, Niu Yongwang of the Niu family has not taken care of it, and Yonglian and his family have taken care of it, and when it comes to this, Niu Yongwang looks very embarrassed.

He Mai smiled: "My grandmother only said a few days ago, it is difficult to find such affectionate and loving brothers as Uncle Niu and Second Uncle Niu, and my grandmother and I just moved to the small courtyard during that time, relying on Uncle Niu and you to help, and I have never had time to thank you." ”

Aeon waved his hand, looking very unconcerned, "Thank you for it!" When your father was here, he didn't help us a lot, ......."

Seeing that she was talking about the dead Lin Changjun again, Xiujuan was afraid that He Mai would be sad when she heard it, so she hurriedly diverted the conversation.

Niu Yongwang also seemed to realize that he shouldn't say more, so he walked a few steps quickly, and after a while, the figure ran far ahead.

He Mai and Xiujuan walked slowly, Xiujuan seemed to be intentionally saying something to He Mai, and her steps were slow.

"Hemai, there is a matter, I have to tell you about it......" Xiujuan said hesitantly.

"Auntie, you say!" He Mai said heartily.

Xiujuan looked a little hesitant, but she still spoke slowly.

"A while ago, your uncle and I went to Qinglu Village to deliver the pigs, didn't we? I met Li Dayali ......"

Li Daya!?

When He Mai heard this man's name, his expression was grim.

When Lin Changjun brought He Mai back to Xiaoqing Village, he was already seriously ill. After less than a month, he passed away.

After Lin Changjun's death, not to mention the competition between Lin Changxi and his wife for the family property and the old lady's sadness, it is only said that on the fifth day after Lin Changjun's death, Li Daya, who came to collect debts, came to collect debts.

Li Daya is a well-known bully in Qinglu Village, who has not lived in Qinglu Village all these years, but has opened a gambling house in Qinghe Town.

Li Daya rushed to the mourning hall with his minions, saying that Lin Changjun died after owing fifty taels of silver in the gambling house, and the Lin family had to pay it back for him!?

At that time, Lin Changxi did not come forward, but in the face of the vicious Li Daya, Hemai, who was dressed in linen and filial piety, came forward, and calmly inquired about the matter.

Li Daya warned her and asked her to gather the money as soon as possible and hand it over to the Hongyun Gambling House in the town. If he brings someone to find him next time, I'm afraid he won't let go of the Lin family so easily!

Li Daya left and did not show up for several months.

Regarding Lin Changjun's debt of fifty taels of silver in the gambling house, there are many suspicious things that He Mai has not yet investigated, and she came forward to respond to this matter, but it does not mean that she took over the debt.

At this time, Xiujuan will not mention Li Daya casually......

"What's wrong with Li Daya?" He Mai asked.

Xiujuan hesitated and said: "Li Daya doesn't go back to Qinglu Village on weekdays, but he went back that day to recover the gambling debts owed to him by the previous gambler......

"Li Daya took someone to smash the gambler's house, stripped his daughter-in-law's clothes and hung them, and threw the baby to the ground......

He Mai's heart trembled when he heard this, "Li Daya is so ruthless? Is there no one in charge of the government? ”

"Li Daya is Li Zheng's nephew, and Li Zheng is a member of the party, hey, that is the relative of the living ghost master, who cares!" Xiujuan shook her head and talked about the gambler again.

The gambler cried and howled to let Li Daya have a few more days, Li Daya should have responded, and as a result, he chopped off two fingers! said that if they didn't pay back the money at the end of next month, they would have to leave three fingers for their family of three! ”
