Wake up

The three of them arrived at the Chu family's compound and went straight in.

"Dead girl, what are you running in for, this is not your house!" Chu Baofeng happened to be standing at the door of the upper house, and opened his mouth to scold. When Du Pozi heard it in the back room, her eyelids couldn't help but jump wildly.

Chu calmly crossed his hands on his hips and said loudly: "I'm looking for my master, I have nothing to do with you!" ”

Chu Baofeng was not allowed to enter, thinking that her mother and sister-in-law and sister-in-law went to the old mansion in the morning to get the silver back, she knew that this dead girl must have come for this.

The two argued and pulled, and Old Man Chu couldn't sit still in the room and walked out.

"Master, I want to say a few words to you alone."

Chu Congrong thought that it would be better to salute first and then soldier, and he had to give this old man some face.

Old Man Chu's face was a little suspicious, and he didn't know what she wanted to do. To tell the truth, he is also a little scared of this girl in his heart, he can be angry if he doesn't eat and talk. After hesitating for a while, he let her into the simple study.

Chu looked at the old man calmly for a while, and from his demeanor, he could see that he shouldn't know about this, so he quickly adjusted his tone and said as calmly as possible: "Master, I respect you the most, you are educated, reasonable, courageous, and far-sighted, so granddaughter, I will open the skylight and say a few bright words to you." ”

"Although I don't know Master Teaching, I know Master Lin from Dong'an Academy, and I also know Master Yang Huaqing and Old Master Yang from Zhiya College in the county. And he still has some friendship with Old Master Yang, and he made an appointment to go to the county to meet him tomorrow. ”

"Master, I'm not bragging to you, but today the little grandma went to rob my father of four taels of life-saving silver, and you only gave us three taels before you split the family, and when I looked back, the little grandma grabbed one or two more, and the loan sharks were not so ruthless. The extra tael of silver was given to his granddaughter by Master Yang. I need her to give it back to me and compensate me for a tael as my father's mental damages! ”

"I'm not talking to you now, I'm informing you. If I can't see five taels of silver before eating, I will tell Mr. Yang about it tomorrow, and the meeting place is in the Yayi Teahouse in the county, you can go and see if you are interested, granddaughter, I invite you to drink a pot of tea. ”

"Tomorrow I will open my mouth to borrow money from the old master, and there must be a reason to borrow money. My reason is very real and touching, I will cry about the uncle who is going to school, robbed my father of the money to buy life-saving medicine, and is greedy for gambling and not filial to his parents, so that my grandfather has to borrow money everywhere to pay off his debts at a young age, which shows how despicable and bad the uncle's conduct is, and it is really a shame for scholars. By the way, tomorrow I will go back to the town to find Mr. Lin, and tell me that Mr. Yang hates this scum uncle, so I inadvertently mention that the uncle seems to have two sons studying in Dong'an. You know that I am a good speaker, and I promise that what I say will make those who hear it sad and those who hear it cry. ”

"Don't doubt it, I always do what I say! I like to speak softly and tell the cruelest things. Remember, it's best to let me see the silver before you eat! ”

After Chu calmly finished speaking, he turned around and left with a smile. She walked out of the door, and the old man Chu shouted loudly behind her: "Dead old woman, you get in for me!" ”

When the three of them returned home, Ye was looking forward to it, could her daughter really get the silver back?

"Mother, haven't you started to get the food yet?"

Ye Shi looked at the girl's empty hands, sniffed and said in a dumb voice: "Girl, if you don't want it, forget it." ”

She didn't dare to hope that her daughter would really ask for the silver back, didn't she know what kind of character Du Pozi was? It's just that I swore that I promised the third brother before, and now I don't know how to explain it to him.

"Mother, don't be so nervous, the silver will be sent over in a while, let's get food first, I still have something to do in the evening."

Chu calmly comforted, the fourth uncle helped him dry the two starches during the day, and tonight she had to rush to make sand grain rice and sago, otherwise she would hand over what she would give to the local tyrant tomorrow.

Seeing his daughter's words, Ye Shi could only hang his heart to get the food out, filled half a bowl of rice, and angrily put it on Chu Youxian's side, as for the ginseng chicken soup, it is more cost-effective to pour it as fertilizer than for him to drink! She didn't say a word, turned around and went out to greet her brother for dinner.

Ye Shi was holding the bowl absent-mindedly, and seeing his younger brother talking to a few juniors with a smile on his face, his heart became more and more uncomfortable. If you miss this family affair, the younger brother doesn't know that he will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon, and the woman will either have a bride price or the younger brother will be old.

"Wuya, there are beds for sale in the town, the big bed costs 150 Wen, and the small bed is 120." While Ye was thinking about how to speak, San Lang told Chu Congrong the result of his question in a timely manner.

Chu calmly listened to it and was very happy, it seems that he will be able to get out of the predicament of sleeping on the floor tomorrow. Just as he was thinking about how much money he had to prepare, Chu Youde asked if he wanted to buy some wood and get it himself.

"Fourth uncle, will you do it? Are we going to fall in the middle of the night?" The two little buttocks asked playfully, they had never seen the fourth uncle do carpentry work.

"I've learned how to make stools from people before, and it is probably not difficult to make a bed, at most it is ugly but it must be strong."

Chu Youde is very confident in saying that he has nothing to do, which is equivalent to eating white food, and he always feels sorry for this family.

Chu Congrong had already calculated in his heart, and it was only eight hundred and twenty Wen, which was less than one or two. Even if the fourth uncle can do it, he doesn't have any tools at home, and he doesn't know how many days he will have to wait to have a bed to sleep, and he can't do it at all. Chu Youde was a little lost, and he still wanted to practice his hands by using this bed, and strive to make a living by doing carpentry in the future.

The family chatted while eating, temporarily diluting the Ye's sadness due to the loss of silver. At this moment, Wang's call came from outside the door.

Chu calmly put down his rice bowl and went out to see that the Wang family and the Zhu family were at the door.

When Wang saw her, he quietly took out four silver ingots and some broken silver, a total of four taels and five coins, and said that the master had returned them to her. Without waiting for Chu Congrong to say anything, the two ran away in a hurry.

Chu Congrong sneered in his heart, it seemed that the old man was afraid that he would die and break the net, so he didn't dare to choose to touch him. As for the lack of five dollars, I'm afraid they won't be able to take it out for a while. Forget it, as a filial piety to the elderly.

After everyone finished eating, Chu calmly thought for a long time, long pain is better than short pain, it is necessary to explain things clearly with Chu Youxian, the family. Since the cheap dad has the energy to make private decisions and give away the money, he should have the energy to face everyone.

So, the whole family squeezed into Chu Youxian's house, Chu Youxian was trying to eat dry rice, and his face was a little unnatural.

"Dad, everyone agrees that it is necessary to talk to you!" Chu said calmly and solemnly, "May I ask Dad, why did you give the silver to the little grandmother privately!" ”

"I'm your father, are you teaching me?" Chu Youxian's tone was displeased, and the five girls couldn't turn the sky upside down.

"Dad, you gave birth to me, but since you allowed my grandfather and little grandmother to sell me into the Li Mansion, it will be considered a clear two! But I saved your life, and it's useless for you to use the big hat of father and daughter to deal with me. Our whole family's living silver, why do you give it away! Chu said calmly and calmly, you can't be soft-hearted when dealing with buns.

"Grandma said that she can't open the pot, I can't let your grandfather starve to death. He is my father and I am his son, and it is natural to raise him! Chu Youxian was full of words and said angrily.

"There's nothing wrong with you wanting to be a filial son of the master! Let's talk about it now. My mother has been married to you for more than ten years and has children, and she has not received a penny, are you a qualified husband? My fourth uncle is in his thirties and has no money, what do you rely on to start a family, are you a qualified brother? My eldest sister was sold at the age of seven and her whereabouts are now unknown! I was lying on the ground dying, and my grandmother was waiting for me to take it to the underworld! The third brother has no money to say goodbye, Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi haven't been able to study for a day, and they were almost sold to a perverted man! Do you ask yourself if you are a good father? My own grandmother died early, you failed to be filial to her but obeyed her enemies, do you dare to say that you are a qualified son? My aunt still hasn't been in contact with us for a long time, are you a qualified brother?"

Chu calmly felt that Chu Youxian was a completely ignorant loser, as if he was unceremoniously tearing open the depths of his heart layer by layer, forcing him to look directly at the wound that had deteriorated to suppuration. If you don't wake up, then you can be sure that this person is hopeless.

Whatever he does, he doesn't have the slightest affection for this cheap daddy, an incompetent and cowardly, and foolish man.

The others were silent, and what they thought of and didn't expect, Chu Congrong said.

Chu Youxian's face turned pale and he lay down without saying a word, his eyes staring at the roof, his whole body trembling, and he didn't know whether he was angry or sad.

"I might as well tell you again, your beloved father originally planned to sell your two sons to Chu Youwen to pay off gambling debts, and he won't buy you medicine! Fortunately, the perverted man was injured, and your two sons were lucky enough to escape! And every bite of chicken soup and ginseng soup you drink is earned back by your two sons and me! You can go back and beg the master to continue to be a good son, or you can divorce your mother! We don't need a weak and incompetent father who sells his sons and daughters! ”

Chu calmly threw out the cruel words, and went out to do his own business. The others had complicated expressions, but they didn't know what to say, and after a while, they all walked out.

Ye walked to Chu Congrong's side, looked at his daughter and kept making small balls, and asked in a low voice, "Girl, you just said this about your father, will it be okay?"

Chu calmly stopped what he was doing and said, "Mother, which sentence do you think I said wrong?"

Ye shook his head, every word of his daughter went to his heart, but he was afraid that his man would not be able to stand it and have any ideas.

"If he can figure it out, there will be salvation. If you can't figure it out, what if he doesn't recognize us? I led my mother and Xiao Liuxiao to eat and drink spicy food every day, isn't it fragrant?" Chu Congrong said as he took out four halves of silver with his dirty hands and handed it to the Ye family, saying that it was returned from the compound.

Ye was surprised and delighted, he couldn't imagine that his daughter could really ask for the silver back, and there would be an extra five yuan, and now the matter of the third brother would be settled.

"I have already given the third uncle's silver just now. You only need to give the third brother a tael of silver tomorrow and ask him to buy the bed back, remember to buy a few mosquito nets, and the blood that everyone eats is sucked up by the mosquitoes. Chu calmly decided to leave her a few taels of silver, judging from her attitude today, she should know the importance of money, unlike Chu Youxian, a big bun.

"That'...... Don't care about your father's chicken soup?"

Ye Shi found that he really couldn't see through this little girl, she had been with her all the time today, how could she conjure up another five taels for the third brother? Then won't you save these five taels? Even if you give San Lang one or two tomorrow, there are still more than four taels left.

Chu calmly listened to the crying and laughing, he just wanted to wake up the cheap father, and he was not so cold-blooded that he was ruthless that he didn't care whether he lived or died, whether he should be cured or treated, raised or raised.
