Chapter 19: Let's make do with this life

"Erleng, go and help my brother and brother, everyone will be hungry without firewood."

Erleng obediently passed, Sanleng smiled at Xiangxue again, Daleng was stimulated, threw down the saw and went back to the house, at this time, the old woman called everyone to eat, and saw Daleng's expression, the reason is known for most of the reasons. She called Sanleng out of the house and admonished him:

"Don't be cheap and arrogant, that daughter-in-law is not yours, and now you have to consider Daleng's mood."

"It's not ours, we should send it back, or I don't feel good about her."

The old woman slapped her son with a "snap", and said in a low voice:

"A big man, even a daughter-in-law can't handle it, he has a shrewd brain in vain, I sue you, give full play to your wisdom and wisdom to others since you were a child, if you impress her, even if the young master comes back, she won't leave."

Jiannan went to urge his father for several days, he either negotiated conditions with him, or made an excuse to postpone, he didn't know, his father's previous good deeds were a whim, or a show, if it was really charitable, to help the temple spend the winter, it was imminent, if it was ten days and a half months, the heavy snow closed the mountain, even if there was food, it would not be able to go up.

On this day, Jiannan was negotiating with his father again,

"Dad, what we promised the abbot, we will fulfill, one day to worship the Buddha and worship the Buddha, if there is really a Buddha, you are fooled like that, sooner or later one day will be offended."

"I was frightened by the greed of the so-called Buddhist family, you know, this time we relied on them, what will happen to the drought and floods next year? If you don't send offending Buddha, you will send it endlessly. ”

"Dad, this time you should do what you should do, help people do it, don't promise easily in the future, the Buddha is also reasonable."

"I didn't send it this time, and there is a reason, the abbot acted too unjustly, and he threatened many times, but I didn't agree, and I couldn't find the way down the mountain."

Jiannan knew that his father had misunderstood, and Chunxiu and Xiangxue's tricks were counted by his father on the head of the abbot, and he had been saying that his parents were confused, but it turned out that they had been pretending to be confused.

"They gave all the valuable things to their father, and exchanging those things for food is more than enough, so don't pretend to be confused!"

"How do you know?"

"Anything that has been done by someone will know sooner or later, and many things are done seamlessly, and those who should know will know sooner or later."

Shixiong's frightened face was like earth, his mouth was open for a long time, and finally he didn't know what to say, Jiannan went out, and went directly to Huishan and them, and talked about the matter of Jiliang still needs to be slowed down, Huishan took the lead and said:

"As long as the eldest young master helps the temple tide over the difficulties this time, the monthly silver I have obtained in this life will be handed over to you."

Jian Nan knew that Huishan had a misunderstanding, but he just reassured them not to worry, and to find a way by himself.

The Bai family's friends were all greeted by Shixiong in advance, and all the financial assistance or manpower assistance proposed by Jiannan was not allowed, because if anyone did that, he would harm his Bai Shixiong's son in a different way.

Jian Nan thought about the nail he had touched, and finally gave up the idea of knocking on the door, but unfortunately the door opened at this time, and his cousin Lu Xiaowan came out side by side with the maid Xiaocui, and was very surprised to see his cousin.

"Cousin, when people arrived at the door, they didn't go in, and those who didn't know thought that we had made a private appointment to meet here."

Lu Xiaowan is twenty-three years old this year, because she has attended the Western Normal School, she is very reluctant to the marriage arranged by her parents and elders, so her lifelong events have been delayed. The family also relied on her, looking for a decent person, to have a free love, once dated a partner for so many months, but to no avail, and then, she didn't look for it, so it was consumed, the family talked too much, and she directly took her cousin Jiannan's matter back.

"I want to talk to your brother about something, but I'm afraid it will ruin the boudoir fun of the husband and wife, so I won't go in."

"Lying, dishonesty, borrowing money, borrowing food, borrowing food, just say it, besides, my uncle has already given an order, asking our family not to 'help the evil', it is in vain, and it is in vain."

"My cousin said this, and it seems wise that I won't go in."

Jian Nan said that he wanted to turn around and leave,

"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking, our family doesn't represent me, and I don't represent our family, so borrow money or borrow food, just look for me!"

His eyes were happy, but he disappeared after a moment, how much money a girl could have, and besides, he couldn't be selfish enough to make her frugal food, just to help him do what he wanted.

"With your little money, you should keep it to buy rouge gouache!"

"I made you look down on us women, won't we make money? Do you wait for death with your parents' money? ”

Saying that, she poured out the silver dollars from her bag, and scattered them all over the place, Jian Nan's eyes straightened, if these silver were her own, then it was enough to buy food and send them up the mountain.

He unconsciously squatted on the ground to pick up, piece after piece, very cherished and cautious, Xiao Wan couldn't help but raise her head, laughed, and said:

"Cousin, you know what? Every time you beg someone else in a low voice for the big thing in your heart, you are the most charming, I have been looking for so many years, the crowd is crowded, I have turned it over, and I always feel that the real man is still you, so cousin, I can't find the person I like in this life, let's make do with it! ”

"Xiaowan, are you drunk, Xiaocui pack up the money and help your young lady go back."

"I'm very sensible, that girl from a nun, if she says she loses it, she loses it, it seems that God, I still think that you two are not suitable, and I intend to fulfill us!"

"Don't say it, you're my sister, it's impossible for us."

"What's impossible, although you are cousins, you have never had the slightest blood relationship, you have great ambitions, I have an open mind, I support you to do it, I have a plan when I make suggestions, I have wealth when I lack money and food, isn't this a match made in heaven?"

Jian Nan's heart moved, thinking about his current situation, doing everything to restrain his hands, with Xiaowan's help, it is indeed much easier, but in an instant, the face of his deceased wife Shiya appeared in front of him, and then unconsciously appeared Chunxiu, and finally the picture was fixed on Xiangxue, cousin is good, but marriage, if it involves naked exchange and use, it becomes hateful, she loves him right, but she found the wrong outlet to show her love, so he looked at her indifferently and said:

"Xiaowan, my cousin advises you, when you meet someone you love in the future, let him fall in love with you as a person, instead of using money or other things to impress him, that is driven by interests, not love from the heart."

Jian Nan pretended to be arrogant and turned his head away, in fact, what lingered in his mind was still the silver dollars scattered all over the ground, in the past few years, he used countless silver dollars, bought some secret materials urgently needed by people with lofty ideals, and later he devoted himself to the secret cause, he was shot, suffered a knife wound, was hunted by the enemy, and was designed by people with ulterior motives, he was not afraid, the only thing he was afraid of was that the brothers lacked food and medicine, and lacked clothes and short bullets. So he chose a temporary farewell, in order to solve the key problem, the family industry was originally managed by him, after the third capital export, the father finally realized that something was wrong, and finally understood that his so-called travel and lectures in the south in the past few years is not true, but in dealing with knives and guns, he categorically resigned from his position, so the dignified man, actually lived to the point of living on his parents' monthly silver.

He should find an errand, leave his Bai family's eldest young master, become a private teacher, or go to a bank or school, get a job, it doesn't matter how much the salary is, there will always be a day when a lot of money can be of great use, he walked in confidently and high-spiritedly.

"Sir, I'm sorry, it's everyone's honor for you to come to work in our line, but Master Bai's face can't help but give, if the operating capital of your cloth village flows into another bank, we will lose a lot of money, you better go back!"
