Chapter 464: The Root of Survival
Li Yingniang nodded in agreement, thinking deeply, "It was originally true, how could there be no private money?" But my mother didn't, her heart was on my father, and I didn't see how good my father was to her. I now have private money in my hand, and I have a dowry, and I have saved it all. ”
The third widow nodded and praised with a smile, "You're not stupid to the end, you're still very smart." Remember what I said, and I won't hurt you. ”
Li Yingniang smiled and nodded, "Mother, I know you won't harm me, without you, there would be no me now, and Zhou Laosan wouldn't be so good to me." ”
The third widow looked at the door, saw that there was no one, and whispered in Li Yingniang's ear: "You must always remember that although we are married, it is not Old Man Zhou or Old Third Zhou who is living in our lives at all, but Jixiang Village, your third brother and third sister-in-law." If we have bad intentions, we can't use bad intentions against people in a village. When you encounter something, you should also calm down and discuss it with me. ”
Although the third widow is not a good person, she knows where the bottom line is. She remarried, but her grandson was from the Li family, and her daughter-in-law remarried and also changed to the Li family.
Although it was a little unsatisfactory at the beginning, it was also poor.
Now the daughter-in-law who has remarried, she treats her as a goddaughter.
Before Yu's remarriage, pregnancy and childbirth, the three widows also sent a heavy gift in accordance with local rules, as a member of their mother's family, and asked Village Chief Li to witness and recognize Yu as a goddaughter.
The Yu family and the three widows reconciled and interacted with each other for the sake of the chain, which can be regarded as a beautiful conversation in Jixiang Village.
Old man Zhou and Zhou Laosan are good to them, not only because they are hardworking and good-looking, but also because there are no benefits in Jixiang Village and Jixiang Town, and they will not be missing.
Li Yingniang nodded, still a little incomprehensible, but her mother-in-law, a widow, can live so well, anyway, she is better than her own mother, she feels that there is merit.
"Mother, I remember." Li Yingniang responded, "Although my third sister-in-law doesn't like me, she has never troubled me. The people of the town, too. I feel guilty when I think about all the bastard things I've done before. In the future, I will never do anything harmful to Jixiang Town and Jixiang Village. ”
After Li Yingniang went back, she felt tired and lay down on the bed to rest.
The three widows were silent, thinking to themselves what to do.
After a while, the three widows made a decision, if Old Man Zhou told her the origin and purpose of Zhao Lao Lai, she would work with Old Man Zhou to find a way to deal with it.
If Old Man Zhou didn't tell her, he would still hide it from her and make it bad with Zhao Lao Lai, and the three widows felt that they couldn't follow Old Man Zhou all the way to the dark.
Old Man Zhou is gone, she can still remarry Old Man Wang and Old Man Li......
But I couldn't stay in Jixiang Town anymore, the money was gone, my life was gone, and the three widows felt that the end was even worse.
After figuring this out, the three widows were a little relieved and looked closely.
Old man Zhou sent Zhao Laolai to the Jixiang Inn, booked the best room, and gave the room fee, and then went back.
After Tang Yunshan got the report below, he led people to patrol the vicinity.
At this time, he saw Old Man Zhou and asked with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, it's getting dark, you can't bump your old arms and legs, go back and rest early." ”
Tang Yunshan has always been jealous of Old Man Zhou, and he is also staring at Old Man Zhou, but on the surface, he gets along well with Old Man Zhou and often goes to drink.
Old man Zhou raised his head, picked up the lantern, and said with a smile: "Yunshan, I sent a friend of mine to live in the inn, so I'll go back." It's a cold day, and you're working hard. In fact, our town is calm, and you don't need to patrol so many times. ”
Tang Yunshan smiled, "You can't say that. If we weren't patrolling, we wouldn't be so calm. ”
Old man Zhou smiled, "That's right, don't disturb your patrol, hurry up." It's cold, if it's cold, go to my place to drink and warm up. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou." Tang Yunshan responded, and then continued to patrol with the others.
Old man Zhou watched Tang Yunshan and the others leave, and he was apprehensive.
This auspicious town is really different, most of the patrols in other towns are husbands. But in Jixiang Town, all of them are killing gods who came back alive in the sea of corpses and blood.
These people have seen blood, are bold, have high martial arts, and are loyal to Liu Paner and Li Yuanqing. Even if they were to be bought, they would not necessarily accept it, and they could not buy everyone.
There are so many people in Jixiang Town, who secretly left and went out to gamble.
A day or two may not know, but after a long time, these patrol people must know.
When the time comes, give him a confession, and he won't want to mix in Jixiang Town. The family business and shop that I had saved up with great difficulty are gone.
It's not a good deal!
Zhao Laolai said it nicely, but rabbits know the three holes of cunning rabbits, so how can the shrewd Zhao Laolai not have a backhand?
But if he didn't cooperate with Zhao Laolai, Zhao Laolai would not let go of so much fat in Jixiang Village.
On the contrary, because he does not cooperate, he may encounter retaliation from the old lai, and his life is not guaranteed.
No matter what he did, Old Man Zhou felt in a dilemma.
Lie in bed at night, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.
The third widow knew this, and tried to inquire and asked, "I usually fall asleep as soon as I touch the pillow, why can't I fall asleep today?" Is that Brother Zhao coming to borrow silver? If there isn't much, we can help. ”
In the dark room, Old Man Zhou looked bitter, "If it's just borrowing money, that's it." We have a shop, and we make a lot of money a year. Coupled with the cultivation of peppers, the harvest is also quite a lot. ”
When the third widow heard this, she pretended to be anxious and hurriedly asked, "It's not borrowing money, what is that for?" Boss, although we are halfway husband and wife, I have always been with you. You can't hide something from me. ”
Old man Zhou opened his mouth, wanting to talk to him.
However, he was worried that the third widow was not strict in his mouth, and if it leaked out, he would only have a dead end.
Old man Zhou hurriedly retorted, half-truths and half-truths and half-truths.
"Of course I'm also with you, Zhao Laolai is a good gambler, so he dragged me to gamble! I'm living a good life now, my sons are all married, and I'm about to have a little grandson, but I don't want to mess around with him. ”
When the three widows heard this, they also chuckled in their hearts, and were half convinced.
Old man Zhou was very defensive, and now he easily told her, and the three widows didn't believe it.
Since it's not gambling, it's something much scarier than gambling.
What could be more terrible than gambling and having anything to do with gambling?
The three widows pondered and trembled with fear.
She thought about it.
Either you open a casino, or you are a loan shark, or you are a thug of a casino.
It's not a good thing anyway, once you get caught, you're either killed or disabled.
Thinking of Liu Paner, the auspicious village was strictly ordered, and the people in the town were not allowed to gamble, and the three widows were angry.
Seeing this, Old Man Zhou hurriedly explained, "Don't be afraid, I won't gamble." All our money is with you. I have two jujubes in my hand, and Zhao Laolai can't get any benefits from me, so he naturally leaves. ”
