Li Zijin's matter ended with him handing over the pen and ink rice paper, and was slapped hard by Li Lincai in front of the people in the courtyard.

Li San's daughter-in-law left Li Lincai's house with a small piece of pine smoke ink that had been melted by Li Zijin, a brush dyed with ink, and eight pieces of paper that had not been painted.

Before stepping out of the hospital, she pretended to apologize to Li Lincai.

"Second brother, don't blame me, it's not that I'm reluctant, you also know that your third brother is not easy to provide for two scholars with that little salary, these two inks were bought by him for Zirui to test Xiucai, Zijin is useless to take it, I ......"

"Second brother, but there is one thing to say, Zijin should take care of this child. ”

After speaking, Li San's daughter-in-law pulled Li Zirui and Li Zisheng away with a frosty face.

Li Lincai grimaced, nodded and answered the words of his brother and daughter-in-law.

After Li's third daughter-in-law left, Li Lincai looked at Li Zijin, who was standing in the courtyard, tears rolling down and crying so much that he almost choked, but he was still standing upright, not making a noise or making a fuss, and his heart ached.

It's not a bad thing for a child to want to read, but it's only because he can't afford to be a scholar.

As for the matter of pen and ink.

Whether Li Zijin took the initiative to propose it, or Li Zirui wanted to exchange it, with his knowledge of his son, he was sure that this kid was definitely not something that deliberately deceived his two cousins.

By this time, he had already guessed that Li Zijin should have exchanged the pen and ink between Tai Sui and Li Zirui and Li Zijin, which he had specially stored in the closet of the warehouse.

Tai Sui is a very expensive medicinal material, and Li Lincai did not shy away from his two children.

Li Zijin has always known that Tai Sui is valuable, and Li Zijin wants to exchange what he thinks is precious for what he wants, which is not a lie.

His fault was that he took Tai Sui on his own initiative without consulting his parents.

It's wrong to steal, even if it's your own stuff.

As for what he knew that his son didn't mean to deceive the two cousins, but he didn't explain it to Li San's daughter-in-law, mainly because he felt that he couldn't explain it clearly, and it was not easy to explain.

Even he inquired with Lao Xiucai to know that there is Tai Sui in the world, where will his brother and daughter-in-law know what Tai Sui is.

What's more, even if she had really heard of it, what had already been eaten in her stomach was more expensive than real pen and ink.

In addition, Li Zijin is indeed wrong, and he should be punished, stealing things is no better than deceiving people.

Li Lincai chose to be silent.

He reprimanded Li Zijin with a straight face.

"You're still embarrassed to cry, think about it yourself, if I slapped you wrong today!"

Li Lincai took care of his son's face, so he didn't make it clear to his son in front of his eldest brother, but just scolded him like this.

Li Zijin was so aggrieved that he was scolded by his father, and he finally remembered where he made a mistake.

yes, he stole something.

Thinking like this, Li Zijin still sobbed, but his head hung down.

Li Yao'er looked at her angry father, worried that her younger brother would be punished, she walked to her father's side timidly and gently held her father's hand with two small hands.

Li Lincai lowered his head and saw that his daughter's little face was pale and pale, and her big eyes were full of tears, which were full of pleading.

Looking at his daughter's appearance, Li Lincai's heart was slightly shocked, and he couldn't help but look up at his wife, who was still in confinement.

Li Shi was still wearing a hemmed hat and holding the baby in the cold wind standing in the yard, with tears in his eyes, and he looked like he wanted to cry but couldn't cry.

He looked at Li Zijin, who was hanging his head, his shoulders swaying slightly, and his tears falling to the ground one after another like raindrops the size of beans.

A huge sourness suddenly rose in Li Lincai's heart, he turned his head to look at the messy home, the empty pigsty, his chest only felt stuffy, and tears were almost rolling down.

Li Da saw that the atmosphere was not right, but he really couldn't find the right words for the scene in front of him, so he had to gently pat his second brother's shoulder, comforted him dryly, and led the family to leave Li Er's house.

Li Lincai sighed, and he was no longer in the mood to scold Li Zijin, he sat back on the stool dejectedly, unable to say a word for a long time.

During the day that day, Li Er's family was from big to small, and they were all sad and depressed.

But this farce is not over here.

In the evening, when it was dark, Li San and his daughter-in-law once again stepped into this gloomy home.

"Something happened to his second brother, Li Zijin, you come out for me!"

This loud scolding took her step into Li Er's house first, and then her menacing figure followed.

Li Lincai was in a bad mood today, he went to bed early, and when he heard the voice of Li San's daughter-in-law, his scalp was numb, and he rushed out of the room wearing a single coat.

Li Yao'er, Li Zijin, and the Li family, who had been wringing all day, also appeared in the courtyard.

Li's third daughter-in-law stood in the middle of the dark courtyard, pointed to Li Zijin who was shrinking beside Li and began to scold.

"Li Zijin, what did you eat for my son? The two of them have been vomiting and pulling since they left your house today, but after half a day's effort, they almost fainted, and now they can't even stand up!"

"Sun Langzhong said that my son ate something bad and was poisoned!"

"Li Zijin, your second brother and fourth brother have no grievances with you, what are you doing to harm them, you don't learn well at a young age, who did you learn these crooked ways!. ”

At this time, Li San's daughter-in-law was much more fierce than during the day in terms of words and attitude.

Li Zijin is so old and has never seen an elder treat him like this, so although he feels that the illness of the two cousins should have nothing to do with him, his momentum is still weak, and it is not as hard as daytime.

But the mouth still has to be returned.

Li Zijin pulled Li's pants and retorted timidly.

"I, I also eat, not only me, but my father and mother also ate, and they are all fine. ”

"The second brother and the fourth brother have nothing to do with me when they are sick!"

The latter sentence was shouted out with great audacity.

How could Li's third daughter-in-law believe it, she came here to ask the teacher about her guilt.

"You fart, my son has been eating with me all day today, what else can poison them except the poison you gave them. ”

As soon as Li San's daughter-in-law said this, Li Zijin couldn't find words in an instant, but he would not bow his head if he was asked to admit that it was not his fault.

No matter what Li San's daughter-in-law said, Li Zijin just repeated.

"Not me, anyway. ”

Li Lincai had a cold face, looking at this farce, looking at his brother and daughter-in-law who looked like a sprinkler, and the anger that had been suppressed for a day in his heart surged up for no reason.

His son was right, Tai Sui and Li also ate it, they were all fine after eating, why did there be a problem when they got to Zirui Zisheng.

Li Lincai is honest, but he is not willing to eat any dumb loss, and after saving up a day's grievances, he is going to help his son say a few words right away.

But before he could speak, his left hand was held by two cold little hands.

Li Lincai lowered his head, saw the sad child, raised his head in a small voice, and said to him.

"Daddy, I saw it at noon, and the Tai Sui in the warehouse is a big piece missing. ”
