Of course, the brother-in-law didn't dare to say these words directly, after all, his family knew his own affairs, and he didn't have any ability, if he provoked this brother-in-law and swept himself out of the house in a fit of anger, then he might starve to death on the streets in a few days.

"You idiot, you are so afraid of things, you actually hid it from Lao Tzu for two days." Mr. Zhou scolded for a while, but he lost a lot of anger, sat back down, and said, "Say, what's left in the store?" ”

The brother-in-law let go of Mr. Zhou's thighs and stepped back to the side to stand, a little hesitant.

Mr. Zhou was angry when he saw his submissive appearance, and when he slapped the table, the mustache was shocked, and he shouted angrily: "Say! ”

"The shops are emptied, there is not a penny of money left, and there is only some worthless coarse cloth left."

After speaking, the brother-in-law secretly glanced at Mr. Zhou with some fear.

Mr. Zhou clutched his chest and almost didn't catch his breath.

Although he had been mentally prepared, when he really heard the specific loss figures, he couldn't help but bleed in his heart.

That's all white money!

Mr. Zhou asked in a trembling voice, "Yue ...... What about the moon cold brocade? ”

The brother-in-law said, "One ...... None of them are gone......

When the brother-in-law saw that Mr. Zhou was about to kick him again, he hurriedly squatted down with his head in his arms, waited for a while, and did not feel any pain, and looked up to see that Mr. Zhou did not kick him, but sighed vigorously.

Mr. Zhou beat and scolded, and he was also tired, physically tired, and even more tired.

There is no way, it was the wife I married at the beginning, and I could only swallow it with tears in my eyes.

Who would have thought that there would be a surprise in marrying a wife?

Buy one, get one free, surprise?

Mr. Zhou looked at his brother-in-law's thief-eyed appearance, and was angry, but he was helpless, sighed, and asked, "How long will it take for Yuehan brocade to be produced?" ”

"This ......," the brother-in-law hesitated.

Mr. Zhou was tired, too lazy to scold again, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The brother-in-law said: "Brother-in-law, it's too chaotic in the north now, and the fabrics we make for Yuehanjin are all imported from Taiyuan." Now there's chaos over there, and I don't give it all the way, and I don't take any money from others. Now it's to buy goods, and you can't get out, let alone enter Pingtong City. If we want to weave the moon and cold brocade again, we have to wait until the north settles down. ”

"I've heard before that it will take at least a month to get things done in the north." Mr. Zhou sighed and said, "In other words, our family has no income this month." ”

After saying this, Mr. Zhou glared at his brother-in-law and said, "You and your sister spend the most all day." Go back today and explain to your sister that we won't eat anything good every day this month, just eat porridge and vegetables on the hour, and give up big fish and meat first. And the servants of the house, you go back and find an excuse to reduce their wages. I'll give them back next month. ”

The brother-in-law pursed his lips, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, my sister and I ate poorly, so that you are not ashamed to eat and drink spicy food all day long, and go to the Qinglou to find the singer, right?

The good people let you do it, so let me be the bad guy alone, right?

Yours is the real thing.

When Mr. Zhou saw his brother-in-law standing there and didn't know what he was thinking, he asked, "Remember?" ”

"Remember, brother-in-law, I'll tell my sister when I get back." The brother-in-law hurriedly replied.

After all, as the head of the family, Mr. Zhou still has a very high status and majesty in the family, and his brother-in-law does not dare to disobey him.

After all, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling all rely on his brother-in-law.

Mr. Zhou added at the end and said, "Remember, it's all your reason that our family has to lack food and clothing this month, so I went to confess my mistake to your sister." ”

The brother-in-law pursed his lips and sighed.

Mr. Zhou thought about it, there was nothing to explain, and he was annoyed when he looked at his brother-in-law, so he issued an eviction order and said, "Get out if it's okay, Lao Tzu still has to go to class." ”

The brother-in-law cursed in his heart and went out in disgrace.

As soon as the brother-in-law went out, he saw an old man leading a child into the cold study, and then walked into the study where Mr. Zhou was.

It was Old Man Chen and Ergou.

I just made the clothes yesterday, and today Mr. Chen got up early in the morning and pulled the reluctant Ergou up from the bed.

Although Ergou usually gets up earlier with Wang Su to practice swords, it is because this is Ergou's interest, so he can get up and be full of energy every day.

But today is the first day of studying in the cold study, and the two dogs are naturally a thousand or ten thousand unwilling, and they are reluctant to get up in bed, if it weren't for Wang Su handing over their old Chen family's heirloom - willow branches to Old Man Chen in a timely manner, I'm afraid that the two dogs are still rolling on the bed now.

But even if he went to great lengths to bark the second dog, he still wilted.

These days, children who don't want to study go to school, it's like this.

Along the way, the second dog had a stomachache for a while, and his legs were sore for a while, so he almost refused to move halfway.

But Old Man Chen didn't eat this set, and dragged the second dog all the way to the cold study.

There was no choice but to accept his fate, and Ergou had to shrug his ears and come here.

As soon as Mr. Chen entered the door, he took Ergou and went straight to the room where Mr. Zhou was, and because he was in a hurry, he didn't notice the brother-in-law on the side.

Otherwise, he would have found out that Mr. Zhou's brother-in-law was the profiteer shopkeeper who sold Yuehan brocade in the first place.

For the sake of convenience, let's call him brother-in-law.

The brother-in-law saw that Old Man Chen led the second dog into the house, and he didn't react at first, but he realized it after walking out a few steps.

Hey? That old man just now is a little familiar, have I seen it somewhere?

The brother-in-law stood in place, frowning and thinking for a while, and suddenly patted his head and remembered.

Isn't he the old man who came to me to buy Yuehan brocade a few days ago?

At that time, I negotiated the price with him, and wanted to knock him well, but he never came, and I regretted it for a while, thinking that if he couldn't make up so much money next time, I would make less money for him.

The brother-in-law shrugged, a little pity.

Alas, now the whole store has been stolen, and I just want to sell it to him now, and I don't have Yuehanjin to sell it.

The brother-in-law walked towards the door, full of regret, and cursed the thief who stole the cloth.

Halfway through, he suddenly stopped and turned back suddenly.

That's not right!

Wasn't what his grandson was wearing just now a school uniform made of Yuehan brocade?

Didn't he buy Yuehan brocade in my store? Where did Yue Hanjin get the clothes he cut for his grandson?

Thinking of the theft of his own cloth shop, the brother-in-law directly linked the two things together.

His eyes lit up, hey, you old thief, I really can't see it.

Look at it honestly, I didn't expect it to be a thief! But I made my grandfather miserable.

Hum! When you arrive, the official will arrest you and beat you up to see if you dare to steal your grandfather and me next time.

The brother-in-law's eyes lit up, and he waited outside the door, for the sake of safety, he still planned to discuss it with his brother-in-law before making up his mind.

When Old Man Chen came out with Ergou, Old Man Chen went home by himself, leaving the concierge that Ergou was called to stay in the school.

The brother-in-law didn't block it immediately, and he wasn't afraid that Old Man Chen would run away, after all, his grandson was still studying here, and he could always find Old Man Chen with his grandson.

The brother-in-law rushed into the house one after another, startling Mr. Zhou, and the tea he had just drunk sprayed the brother-in-law in the face.

Mr. Zhou wiped his mouth and said angrily, "Why did your mother come back again?" Didn't it tell you to roll back? ”

The brother-in-law was sprayed with a smile on his face, wiped his face with his sleeve indiscriminately, and said, "Brother-in-law, I found out who stole the things in the store." ”

Mr. Zhou was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Really?" Which one was cut a thousand times? ”

The brother-in-law sat down, straightened his waist, and said, "It's the old man who came in just now." ”

Mr. Zhou frowned and asked with some confusion, "The grandfather of that student just now?" ”

"Why?"

The brother-in-law said proudly: "He came to me a few days ago to buy Yuehan brocade, but he didn't bring enough money, so he told me to buy it in a few days." As a result, he did not come until today. Since he didn't buy Yuehan brocade from me, what is the set of clothes on his grandson made of? ”

The brother-in-law deliberately concealed his malicious price increase and wanted to earn some private money for himself.

It's understandable that the guards are stealing from themselves.

Mr. Zhou pondered for a while, felt that what he said made sense, but he was still a little puzzled, and said: "People are people who are almost half cut into the ground, thin arms and legs, can they steal so many things?" ”

"Forehead......" The brother-in-law was stunned for a moment, he was too excited just now, he thought he had seized the key to it, but he didn't expect this stubble.

But now that Mr. Zhou pointed out that something was wrong, he turned his mind and said, "Even if he didn't steal it, then where did he get the Yuehan Brocade?" He must have bought the moon cold brocade from his thieves. ”

Mr. Zhou's heart moved, and he said, "You mean, the one just now is stolen goods." ”

The brother-in-law nodded with a smile and said, "That must be stolen goods!" Brother-in-law, you think, as long as we report to the police to arrest that old thing and interrogate it strictly, we can arrest that thief. By then, won't all the money and cloth stolen from the store be recovered? ”

Mr. Zhou glanced at him, thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with the other party's words, so he nodded and said, "Yes, you are finally a little useful." ”

The brother-in-law smiled and said, "It's all my brother-in-law who teaches well on weekdays." ”

Mr. Zhou didn't eat his horse either, but when he had the opportunity to recover the stolen money and goods, he still felt a little better, and said, "In that case, you should go and report to the official now." ”
