The dusk in Luo'an Town is the most lively of the day, the academy is out, and the students come out in groups to find a place to eat something good, worry about homework, and secretly complain about Mr., it is the most relaxing time of the day.

Wang E took her eldest son after school, and when she heard her son happily talk about getting praise from her husband today, she was happy, but she still beat her son with a cold face, "Beware of arrogance and rashness, it's only been a few days since I learned, no matter how good it is, it's limited." In the future, I still have to continue to work hard, and go back at night to add ten big characters! ”

Brother Li'er was originally full of smiles, but she was splashed with cold water by her mother, and she wilted, "Yes, mother." ”

Wang E was reluctant to let her son do this, so she bought a box of snacks and told her son to study hard all the way, grow up to be the champion, shine on the lintel, and fight for the grandfather under Jiuquan.

Brother Li'er responded, but the light in his eyes gradually faded.

As soon as the mother and son arrived home, and before they could eat, someone found them outside the courtyard, and the servants ran in to report the news.

"Madam, someone from the clan reported that something had happened at home."

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong with the business? Quick, get people in! Wang E stood up in surprise and hurriedly called someone in.

Brother Li also put down the snack, and his little face was full of concern, "Mother, is my father having a headache again?" ”

Wang E was stunned for a moment and replied, "I'll know in a while." ”

Soon, the servant brought in a little steward.

Wang E also knows that this person is a person who has to be used by Wang Sanye's side - Wang Er.

"Wang Er, why are you here, what happened to our family?" Wang E couldn't hold her breath and asked.

Wang Er saluted, glanced at Brother Li'er, and replied, "Madam, don't worry, it's not a big deal." ”

Wang E understood and took her son away, "Brother Li'er went to wash and change clothes, and we will eat in a while." ”

Brother Li stood up and walked out.

Wang Er hurriedly said: "Madame's big thing is not good, there is a young man in Sihaiju who poisoned him, and the medicine killed a guest who came to eat, and the guest's house made a fuss at the door of the restaurant, and the staff went to deal with it, and vomited blood in a hurry, and Sihaiju could only close the door." Immediately afterwards, the ship on which the family was carrying goods south was attacked by bandits, and the ship sank. The rest of the houses came to collect debts, and the staff sold out the four seas and a few shops, and scraped together the money.

"The shopkeepers saw that something was wrong, and they also begged for a deed of sale, and dispersed, and now the family is in a mess. The third master asked the villain to come and ask you to go back as soon as possible, I am afraid that the situation will be worse if it is too late. ”

"No...... No way! Wang E was a little stunned when she heard this, and she couldn't care about being rude, so she grabbed Wang Er's arm, "Are you lying to me?" ”

Wang Er quickly knelt down, "Madam, how dare the villain lie to you." This was all asked by the third master himself, and even ...... At this time, I am afraid that everyone in the city will know, after all, the matter of Sihaiju is so big. ”

Wang E took a deep breath, and finally settled down, and she was a little annoyed.

"Master, what is the master doing! Why can't a Sihaiju be disposed of, and he vomits blood?! At such a time, don't you have to buy the deceased's family first and press the matter down first, how can it be like this! ”

Wang E is complaining and disgusted, disgusted that her husband didn't handle things well.

Wang Er thought of Wang Yuanwai's miserable appearance, and couldn't help but sympathize, so he added an explanation: "The headache outside the staff is serious, and he has been vomiting blood, and the doctor in the house said that he is afraid that he will not live long." ”

"Daddy!" Without waiting for Wang E to respond, Brother Li'er, who was eavesdropping outside the door, rushed out.

He pulled Wang Er's sleeve and asked with red eyes, "Is my father going to die, impossible!" Woo, I'm going home, I'm looking for my dad! ”

Wang E also knew that she was scared at this moment, and shouted loudly for the slave to set up the car, and immediately went back.

Unfortunately, when I arrived outside the city gate, it was already late at night, and the city gate was closed, so I could only wait at the gate.

Finally, he stayed up until dawn, and as soon as the city gate opened, the carriage quickly entered the city and ran back to the south of the city.

When she got off the bus at the door, Wang E mixed it up, was helped up by the maid, and happened to take a picture with the neighbor next door.

Wang E wanted to say hello, but the man had a calm face, turned his head and went back.

Wang E frowned, not understanding what was wrong with this neighbor, but she didn't have time to pay attention to it at this moment.

In the study in the front yard, the medicine was smoking, Wang Yuanwai was lying on the bed, his face was sallow, and the whole person was shriveled up, like a swaying rice stalk in the early winter field.

Brother Li only glanced at it, then pounced on it, hugged his father and cried.

Wang E also had red circles in her eyes, and stepped forward to ask, "Master, what's wrong with you?" I'm so sick, why don't you send someone to look for me? ”

Wang Yuanwai shook his head with difficulty, reached out and slowly touched his son, and drove him to the backyard in a dumb voice, "Look at your brother." ”

Brother Li'er was only nine years old, but the torment of waiting last night made him grow a lot, and thinking of his younger brother, he hurried out.

Wang E was about to speak, but Wang Yuanwai closed his eyes.

Wang E always felt that something was wrong, seeing her husband like this, she couldn't ask, so she could only go out to find her confidant's slave and mother-in-law to inquire.

As a result, the more she listened, the darker her face became, and the more bottomless her heart became.

Her husband's body collapsed, and she was prepared, but why did there be so many problems in the business?

Sihaiju and five shops, almost half of the family's property, just one day, all gone!

She couldn't bear it anymore, so she took someone to the Wang family's old house.

Wang Sanye didn't have time to talk to his old father about Sihaiju last night, so he came over to drink tea with his old father this morning, and explained it clearly.

Finally, he said tentatively: "Dad, Xiao'e has not treated Xinqiu for so many years, is this because she is afraid that Xinqiu will get better and leave her and the child?" ”

Old lady Wang took a sip of tea and nodded in response: "Xiao'e's family affairs, you have been paying more attention recently. Back then, this Wang Xinqiu was left by your cousin Qiang, once he recovered from his illness, it would be very troublesome to think of the past. Therefore, Xiao'e is also helpless to do this. ”

Forced to stay?

Wang Sanye's heart jumped, and he vaguely guessed.

Without waiting for him to ask again, Wang E came crying and crying, and as soon as she entered the room, she knelt down.

"Uncle, woo, my lord is dying, and there is a problem with the business. What will I do with my children? ”

Wang Sanye hurriedly helped her up and comforted: "What are you panicking about? You are the girl of our Wang family, and you will not let you be lost! ”

Even the old lady Wang also opened her mouth, "When your father passed away, I was afraid that today, I left you 20,000 taels of silver and put it here for me, so if the family business collapses, it will collapse, don't be afraid." As for Wang Xinqiu's serious illness, this is his fate, let him take care of it, and wait until the day he closes his eyes, just send it well.

"When the time comes, let your third brother give you some good shops and good business, and you will continue to live a good life with your two children. With the Wang family here, no one dares to bully you. ”

Wang E heard that these were also pleasantries, and finally stopped her tears.

Old lady Wang comforted her a few more words, and asked Third Master Wang to send her out.

And in the study in the front yard of the Wang family, at this time, Brother Li and Brother Cat cried with tears on their faces, holding their father's arm and not letting go.

Wang Yuanwai patted their heads lightly and instructed: "Daddy is afraid that it will not be done, and after Daddy dies, Brother Li'er must study hard, not for the sake of glorifying the lintel, but for learning skills, and then protect your brother well." You brothers, depend on each other for your lives and live well, as for your mother's ......."
