The third update! Still ask for the first order~!

Guan Wen loves money?

Li Xin subconsciously came to such a conclusion and immediately put aside this idea.

It's absolutely impossible. If he loved money, he wouldn't have gone to the dart for the family's livelihood in the first few years. He did the marriage of the second brother and the third sister, and he also did it to help his aunt's family, and it has always been his money to support the sixth brother to go to school. If Sun Magpie was still the daughter-in-law of the Guan family before, it would be reasonable to lose the family with the money she earned to support the family, but now Sun Magpie is not the daughter-in-law of the Guan family, how can the money not be given to the Guan family to do things?

can see that Guan Wen's brows are tightly locked, it doesn't look like he is telling a lie, Li Xin has already believed it for six points - there must be something greasy in the middle.

It wasn't until the two of them entered the room that Guan Wen inserted the door bolt that he said to Li Xin: "Xin'er, do you remember the wooden board on the horizontal bar inside our bed, and the small box on it?" ”

Li Xin looked at him a little inexplicably. Of course she knew, and she had slept in that bed for a few days. However, she always thought that it was Guan Wen's private property, and she never had the heart to move it.

Speaking of the small box, Li Xin was quite impressed. Eighty percent of the new wood, with patterns carved on it, hangs a small copper lock. Although it's just a small box, it's resting on the horizontal board brightly, which is particularly eye-catching.

"What's wrong with the box?" Li Xin asked suspiciously, and immediately said, "I haven't moved, the box is locked!" ”

Guan Wen nodded, took a breath and said, "In that box, there were originally twenty taels of silver that I took home when I came back. ”

Li Xin took a breath.

Twenty taels of silver!

"I've been walking for two years, and the money I made before and after adds up to seventy or eighty taels, all of which I fought with my life. In addition to taking it back to honor my father and grandfather, giving the sixth brother a tie, and helping my aunt's family, I kept some of the rest of the money for myself and gave some to the second brother and their family. Thinking about it, she has a younger brother and daughter-in-law at home, and she knows Zhang Luo about food and clothing, and she doesn't care much about the rest. I was resting in the town when I didn't have a dart, and I couldn't come back for ten days and a half when I had a dart, and I didn't know what was going on at home. ”

Li Xin was a little sad when she heard it. In those two years, Guan Wenfeng came and went in the rain for the Guan family. I didn't get any good money. His face was ruined and his leg was lame......

It was rare for Guan Wenken to tell him about the past, Li Xin naturally sat next to him meekly, held his hand and asked softly, "Then what?" ”

"I trust all the brothers in the dart game, and it is absolutely impossible to pit my money from it, so naturally I will take how much back. I never believed that I was a friend outside, and that the kind of brotherhood who could change my life would do something in the middle. It's been two years like that. Until that time was really dangerous, and the dart encountered a mountain bandit on the way. If you want to say that it is an ordinary dart, it is just a dart, and it is a dart. It's good to lose the dart game, but the dart can't be lost, it can be regarded as half the emperor's difference, and the value is large, and the dart game can't afford to lose. You may also have to take your life in. I fought with the bandits and was wounded. Although the dart was saved in the end, several brothers died, and the brother I always asked him to help me bring money back was among them. ”

Saying that, Guan Wen seemed to be a little thirsty, picked up the tea bowl and drank a sip of water, and said with a long sigh: "When we got married, the chief dart head of the dart board also came, and he and the brothers pooled three taels of silver for us. That time, because of the heavy casualties in the dart game, the brothers who died alone paid 200 taels each, not to mention other injuries. I got the twenty taels back, and I also lost the dart game. Although three taels of silver may not seem like much, it is also very difficult for a dart game to come up with. ”

"The head of the dart is in his forties, with an upright personality, but he is thin, and he only has a little grandchild under his knees. It stands to reason that my life is not in danger in this situation, and I can continue to walk the dart, but because my legs and feet are not good, it is really inconvenient, so the head of the dart gave me twenty taels of silver, let me go home to recuperate, and also promised me that if my legs and feet are better in the future, I still want to do that line, and I can go back to him. After all, he is also short of people, and he thinks I am quite brave and knowledgeable in protecting the darts. Those twenty taels, it is not easy to take out the total dart. It can be said that the aftermath of that battle basically spent almost all the money that the head of the dart had saved over the years. ”

Li Xin felt more and more inexplicable, these ...... What does it have to do with him not taking the money home and handing it over to the Guan family?

Guan Wen sighed, "When I went back, I thought that the seventy or eighty taels of silver in the past should not be spent, but I didn't ask, I thought it would be good to have some silver at home." I thought, there are still twenty taels, and the life at home can be passed no matter what. In the past three years since I came back, whether it is the sixth brother's bundle or the family, I have spent money from the twenty taels of silver, and the rest of the money saved by the crops and livestock work I picked up has been collected by my father, and I have not touched a single penny. ”

"That'...... And then what? Li Xin said curiously.

"Then when discussing the marriage of the fourth brother, my father said that the family didn't have much money for happy events, so I took it out and talked about it, thinking that I should have some money in it. Unexpectedly, my father told me vaguely that the money was all spent. The fourth brother also kept saying that I didn't bring much money back, and the total amount of the front and back was only forty or fifty taels, except for my father and grandfather, the sixth brother's bundle and family, and the expenses for human relations were almost spent. ”

Li Xin gasped, and only then did she understand what Guan Wen meant when she came over. If according to what Guan Quan said, Guan Wen only took back forty or fifty taels, then it was a pair of seventy or eighty taels, where did the difference in the middle go?

Guan Wen was silent for a moment before he asked softly, "Xin'er, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Li Xin nodded with difficulty, "You don't believe that your brothers in distress who were born and died together cheated on your money, then there is only a possibility that the money was hidden by the family." Is that what it means? ”

As if a little embarrassed, Guan Wen waited for a while before nodding slightly.

"But ......" Li Xin moved his mouth slightly, "It may be that Sun Magpie took the ......"

Guan Wen smiled faintly, "Xin'er, my brother helped me bring the money back, at least in front of my father, right?" He was calm, how could he leave the money in the hands of a woman. He sighed, "Besides, I can't ask him for verification now." ”

The brother who helped Guan Wen bring the money home is dead, and it can be said that there is no proof of death. And no matter what, the dead are great, and you can't just want people to splash dirty water on them when they die, right?

If Guan Wen had asked about this a few years ago, I'm afraid this situation would not have happened now. It would not be good if there was a gap in the hearts of the family......

But......

Wait a minute!

Li Xin suddenly absolutely had something to say about the text. What do you mean by "at least in front of my dad to give money"? In this way, Guan Wen does not suspect that his brother in the dart game, the only person who may be hiding the truth is not his father-Guan Ming?

Her father-in-law...... To be honest, Li Xin doesn't have much affection for him, nor does he have a bad feeling. Just because he is his husband's father, he should have some respect for him. Although this father-in-law is neither good nor bad for her, but living under the same roof, as long as she is safe, she will serve him as a daughter-in-law to the end of her life.

But if he really hides the money earned by his son with a clear conscience, and he doesn't give it out at such a critical time as his son marries and his daughter marries, it can't be too much, right?

Li Xin shook his head slowly, "Awen, I don't understand ......"

"I didn't understand it before." Guan Wen said softly: "I was very irritable during that time, and my grandfather brought up my marriage again. The second brother and the fourth brother all said that I had to marry a wife to be the gateway, and my father always said that I should get married as a big brother, and it is not a matter to be a single single person. Especially my grandfather, who has always earnestly instructed me to come, saying that the eldest son and grandson should be able to afford a family...... In the end, I was forced to have no choice, so I went to invite the famous Aunt Li from the neighboring villages to help me matchmaking. ”

It turned out that Guan Wen said that there was still such a situation in the marriage...... Li Xin bowed her head silently, she could understand this.

"At that time, I thought that my family could at least afford a dowry or something, but my father always waved his hand and said that there was no money. Originally, my family has always been very low-key, and outsiders think that we have no money, but I have always felt that we are just not exposed. Didn't expect ......"

Guan Wen took Li Xin's hand and sighed again, "I didn't expect that when I said about marriage, my father still only had two words and no money." ”

"Maybe things aren't the way you think......"

Li Xin said vaguely. This estrangement between father and son, she, as a daughter-in-law, can't instigate in the middle.

"Who knows...... Dad said that there was no money, so the dowry preparation for the marriage was thin, but fortunately, the father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't say anything. But Xin'er, I always feel that you are wronged to marry me, although I am really happy after getting married......"

Li Xin chuckled: "Seriously!" Don't think so with a rod, if your father-in-law hides the money, isn't this wronging his old man? ”

Guan Wen smiled low and said, "I don't know if things are what I thought, and I have always kept this matter in my heart and never mentioned it." If you talk about it today, I should tell you something. ”

Saying that, Guan Wen sat up straight seriously, grabbed Li Xin's shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter if the money is really hidden by my father or spent, the two of us have a number in our hearts, don't tell anyone else." The money I earn can only be taken back to the fourth brother to do things, the second brother is too honest, he will definitely hand it over to his father, the fourth brother's marriage can't be handled by the fourth brother, and the grandfather can't do this kind of thing when he's old, except that we can help the fourth brother and sister-in-law to help the fourth brother buy it, and I can't find anyone else. ”

Li Xin was taken aback, "Awen, you don't think that your father-in-law can even ignore the money you earned to marry your fourth brother, right?" ”

Guan Wen smiled bitterly, "I don't say a word because I don't want to hurt the relationship between father and son, and I don't want to do anything to take the money back and ask how much money was spent on the next hire." Anyway, we will have our own small family in the future, and it is better to keep the money in our own hands. As he spoke, he sighed again: "Xin'er, you also know that my father's wishes in this life are all on the sixth brother, counting on him to be an official." I can't guarantee that my father will put the treasure on the sixth brother and save money for the sixth brother. (To be continued)
