In fact, Yu Bo only gave the liar 200 taels of silver, and the remaining 100 taels was originally planned to wait for the mother to raise enough of the remaining silver and give it to the man together. Unexpectedly, in just one day, the liar was arrested.

He estimated that the silver he gave out must have been lost, and the one hundred taels of silver in his hand did not explain to his mother, and used it as his own small treasury. Although, my mother has never been stingy with him in money. But I have money in my own hands, and it is convenient to use it.

Zhang gathered her unkempt sideburns, and the tangled on her face made her look a little hideous. She thought about it again and again, but she was still unwilling to let the three hundred taels of silver go to waste. She asked the Li family to help Zhang Quan's daughter-in-law, and went out by herself, heading in the direction of the old elm tree at the head of the village.

There, Lao Yutou was squatting under the elm tree, silently listening to the chatter of the village chief and the eldest brother. Yu Lichun found that the third brother's face was not good, and asked him a few words but did not say anything, feeling very strange.

The village chief and Yu Lichun turned the topic of this year's New Year to his youngest son Yu Jiang: "I heard that Dajiang helps to harvest seafood, and the business is good!" Is it just helping, or is it paid? ”

Thinking of the dividends that his youngest son brought back every day, Yu Lichun smiled with chrysanthemums on his face: "The sea is a child who is benevolent and righteous, does not eat alone, and thinks about his brother when he has a profitable business." This business of collecting seafood for the Zhou family can be regarded as the sea taking care of us, and the two families are doing it in partnership. Income, that's ......."

Yu Lichun still understands the truth that wealth is not exposed, if he is stupid to tell Yu Jiang's income in the past few days, he may not be able to cause any pink eye to make a mess. It's better to keep a low profile. However, the expression on his face that he couldn't suppress was not like he didn't make money.

The village chief stroked his beard and scolded with a smile: "You guy, you don't tell me the truth!" Can I still rob you of your business? ”

Yu Lichun said with a smile: "It's really not much." It's just a little more than working at the docks. There is no comparison with the youngest son of your family who deals with the official master! ”

The youngest son of the village chief is the pen of the county magistrate of the neighboring county, and his salary is not much, but he can be regarded as a "civil servant". The village chief has always been proud of his youngest son!

The two were chatting hotly when Zhang came out of the village. She nodded politely to the village chief and uncle, and said to the old man next to her, who deliberately didn't look at her: "Xiaobo's father, the official of the county government came to the house, saying that it was to investigate Xiaobo's fraud." Whatever you say, you're also the head of the family, so go back and help say hello! ”

The old man was silent and didn't speak for a long time. Finally, with a deep sigh, he slowly stood up, his hands behind his back, and walked in the direction of his home.

Zhang hurriedly walked over with his little heels. The two were silent all the way, and when they were almost home, Zhang broke the silence between the two: "His father, I know you are blaming me!" But things have happened, and we can't go back and start over, we still have to live our days. Xiaobo is a promising, but this year is just bad luck. Didn't the fortune teller say that our family will be a big official in the future? Xiaobo, he is also your son, you can't ignore his affairs! ”

"Tube? How? When you two were discussing behind my back to spend money to sell the places in the academy, why didn't you think of talking to me, a father? Now that something has happened, do you remember that Xiaobo still has a father? "Old Yu Tou spoke in a loud voice, if it had been put aside, the Zhang family would have been with him a long time ago.

However, after last night, she no longer had a reason to be upright. Zhang thought for a while and said, "Don't mention anything else." Xiaobo said, the liar has been caught, and we will be able to convict him after our bitter master goes to court for questioning. But the three hundred taels of silver...... Not necessarily coming back. That's the cost of Xiaobo going to the capital to catch the exam in the future!! ”

"If you don't deserve it, you can't keep it if you take it! Those three hundred taels should have been a life-saving silver in the sea, and you won't be sorry if you take it? Alas, if you don't come back, you deserve it! Lao Yutou thought that when the second son was lying on the bed, his life and death were uncertain, and the family was in urgent need of this silver, but they gave it to ...... His heart was mixed with shame and remorse.

Zhang endured it, so he didn't stand up to Lao Yu. She continued to say patiently, "Dad! If there is really no room for this money to be returned, I will die. But we have a chance to get back some of the money, if we don't make some efforts, Xiaobo won't be able to get the exam in the future, let's be a father and mother, and don't regret it for a lifetime? ”

Old Yu frowned and said, "Didn't you say that you were deceived by the liar?" Can you come back? ”

"Didn't the liar get caught? The Qian Guanfu must have recovered it, at least some of it. However, I don't know if this money can be returned to us......" Zhang pondered how to open his mouth and let Lao Yutou go to the old mansion as a lobbyist.

Lao Yu frowned and said puzzledly: "If the government doesn't give it to us, what can we do if we ordinary people?" ”

Zhang's excuse said: "We can't help it, but Xiaocao is her godfather......"

Old Yu glared angrily, stared at Zhang, and snorted coldly: "You made a promise last night, you won't forget it so soon!" At that time, it was said that we should go our own way, and no one should disturb anyone. This day hasn't passed yet, you're healed and the scar has forgotten the pain? ”

Zhang's eyes rolled, squeezed out a few tears, and cried: "Old man, I know that I have done too much before, I'm sorry for my cousin, and I'm sorry for the Dahai family." However, after all, the sea is your flesh and blood, and you and Xiaobo are brothers, can you really not have contact for the rest of your life? Now, he has helped us with this, and in the future, Xiaobo will be able to ignore this second brother? ”

At this time, the two had already walked to the door of their house, and Yu Bo came out of the courtyard listlessly, and saw Lao Yu's head as if he had met the backbone, and said in a choked voice: "Dad...... My son is not filial, let you two elders be me. Worry about it! ”

Looking at this little son who seemed to have lost a lot of weight and had a haggard face, Lao Yutou thought of Zhang's words, and his heart softened by half. He sighed heavily and said, "Remember this lesson!" People, you can't think of going down the wrong path. You read hard at home during this time, and when you enter the Qiu Rongxuan Academy exam, you can try again. If it doesn't work once, it's two or three times...... There is always a time to get in. ”

Yu Bo listened to his father's teachings dejectedly and nodded his head again and again. But he didn't have any hope in his heart, after this incident, he was afraid that Rongxuan Academy had blacklisted him, and he would never have the opportunity to enter Rongxuan Academy again in his life. After all, Rongxuan Academy accepts students, and in addition to talent, it also attaches great importance to character.

Seeing that his youngest son was wilting, Lao Yutou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yes, everything has passed, don't keep thinking about it." I...... Go to your second brother's house and ask if there is a chance to get the money back? ”

Yu Bo's eyes flickered, and he suddenly remembered that his niece's godfather, it seemed that he was the master of the Qincha sent by the capital, and he was an official who was bigger than the county order. If he said the last word, those people in the government would definitely not dare to take his family's silver, then wouldn't the matter of his small treasury be exposed?

"Dad, it's about my son's reputation, it's better to let people know as little as possible......" Yu Bo said in a hesitant manner.

Zhang's eyes dodged and said, "Son, your second brother is no one else." Besides, when I went to the town to borrow money from him, Xiaocao's girl had already guessed everything. Nine is not far from ten. If she hadn't gone to Rongxuan Academy to confirm, we might have been deceived even more. Xiaocao's godfather has a good relationship with the county master, and the silver should be able to get it back. ”

Yu Bo choked and said: "It turned out that Xiaocao went to Rongxuan Academy to tell the secret, I said how could the academy report the case - mother, you are going to ruin your son's future!" ”

Zhang asked in surprise: "I'm also good for you, how can I ruin your future?" ”

"Think about it, my matter is not a glorious thing in the first place, let the head of Rongxuan Academy know, will my son still have the face to study in Rongxuan Academy in the future?" Aftermath sighed.

Zhang stomped his foot vigorously and said, "It's all to blame Xiaocao's dead girl!" I said why is she so kind, it turns out that she wants to spoil my son's good deeds!! This dead girl's heart is so black, why didn't God take her in at that time......"

"Enough! If you do something wrong, you have to push it on someone else's head! I see you've been reading books in the dog's stomach for the past few years!! If you want to go on like this, you don't have to read this book, just go home and learn to fish with me! Lao Yu flicked his sleeves and walked angrily in the direction of the old mansion.

Yu Bo looked at the back of his father leaving, and felt a sense of grievance in his heart: he didn't say anything! In the final analysis, it is all the mother who is not successful enough and has more than enough failure. If you borrow money, you can borrow money, why bother him?

Zhang was so angry that he trembled, pointed to the figure of the old man who was gradually moving away, and said repeatedly: "Look, look!" He didn't treat you as a son!! In his heart, there are only two children left in the front room of the dead ghost!! The second family farms and does a business, what can they do? Won't I still have to be blessed with you in the future? ”

"Mother, don't be angry! My son must study hard, and in the future, those who look down on us will regret it! "Yu Bo is very confident in himself. This year, he is just unlucky, and he will definitely come back after taking the exam next year, so that his father will look at it differently!

Old Yu Tou wandered in front of the old mansion for a while, and was seen by Yu Hang. He was invited into the courtyard, and saw Xiaocao tending to the vegetable patch in the courtyard, and hesitated for a moment before going up to help.

"Xiaocao, you are really good at growing vegetables. Other people's cabbage and spinach have long been inedible with moss, but yours is still so tender. The vegetables in the courtyard that were obviously past the season surprised the old man a little.

Xiaocao smiled and said, "Maybe it's not very windy in the courtyard, so it doesn't age so quickly." Grandpa, you have nothing to do to visit the old mansion, the little stones miss you! ”

The old man tried to squeeze out a smile, but he couldn't. He didn't know how to speak, he just said yesterday that he was going to do his own thing, and today he came to the door to trouble others, isn't this a slap in the face?

Xiaocao saw his worried and speechless appearance, and asked, "Grandpa, are you ...... Something? ”
