Chen Dayong took the ginseng without even thinking about it.

His two sons remembered the situation when they were almost struck by lightning before, and shouted in shock, "Daddy......"

"What are you doing?" Chen Dayong was taken aback by his sons' voices, "You won't believe this girl's nonsense, right?" What kind of ginseng essence, it's all superstition! Besides, this ginseng was originally dug up by you, and if you want to split it, you will also split it and stole it, not us! ”

Chen Jinbiao glanced around, made sure that there was no thunder and slashed down, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, yes, it was originally me and Huzi who dug it out, and this ginseng wants to recognize the master, and also recognize the two of us." ”

"Brother, are you really okay?" Chen Shenghu was a little stunned in his heart.

His brother winked at him, "Be quiet." ”

"I'm a little scared......"

Before, they ran down the mountain after dropping the ginseng, originally wanting to go home directly, but they felt unwilling, turned back to the foot of the mountain, and happened to see Dadongzi carrying a sack down the mountain, followed by the bouncing little Lingbao.

"This Dongzi is okay at all!" Chen Shenghu regretted, "That Lei Bacheng just now has nothing to do with ginseng, but it just happened to split to us, oops, we shouldn't have lost the ginseng!" Ay...... Hey......"

"Don't 'hey', let's just grab the ginseng back?"

Chen Shenghu was stunned, turned his head to look at his brother, and asked: "But now in the village, there are people everywhere, how can you rob it?" ”

"Looking for our dad to rob it!"

When they came to the Jiang family to ask for ginseng, they didn't believe in ginseng essence at all, but now that they heard Lingbao's words, they began to be afraid again, especially Chen Shenghu, who was relatively less courageous.

At this time, he swallowed a few times in a row, "Dad, I think it's too hurtful to quarrel like this, or don't you want ginseng?" ”

"What do you say? We want to get our stuff back, why don't we want it? ”

Speaking of this, Chen Dayong shouted at Jiang Qingshan, "Get acquainted, if you don't want to make trouble with the captain, hurry up and hand over all the things your son stole away!" In addition to the ginseng, there was also the sack of fern roots that my son dug up! ”

Jiang Qingshan was just about to answer, but his daughter spoke first: "Uncle, if the ginseng essence doesn't split you tomorrow morning, it means that it is the eldest brother who lied, and the eldest brother will not only send the fern root to your house, but also apologize to you." ”

Xiao Lingbao's words made Chen Dayong laugh out loud, "Hahahaha...... Little girl, uncle, I see that you are young, and I don't care about you, if you dare to say this kind of superstition, your whole family will have to pick up dung! ”

"Is Uncle scared?" Lingbao asked.

"Hah! Joke! What am I afraid of? I don't believe in these scaring things at all! Besides, my family is not afraid of shadows, and this ginseng was originally dug up by my two sons, so what am I afraid of? ”

Lingbao spit out a small milk voice and said, "Since you are not afraid, then uncle should take the ginseng away first, otherwise no one will be able to convince anyone if they are so noisy." ”

The crowd of onlookers felt that there was a good show to watch, and they all coaxed at this time, "Yes, since the little girl of the Jiang family has said so, I don't think her parents, mothers and brothers have any objections, Uncle Dayong, you can take the ginseng away." ”

"Ahem! I'm here to testify to you! If there is nothing going on in the old Chen family, then the ginseng is the Chen family, right? ”

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in his fifties, named "Uncle Chai", who usually likes to join in the fun, and at this time he looked like he was smiling and asked the people around him, "Do you have any opinions?" ”

"No comment! Not only Uncle Chai, but all of us can also be this witness! ”

"Uncle Dayong, give me a word!"

Chen Dayong was surrounded by everyone, and said confidently: "Okay! Then let's talk about it, if I don't have anything to do tomorrow, the Jiang family will not only return the bag of fern roots to me, but also give me an extra five yuan to apologize. ”

"Why?" Wu Chaozi gritted his teeth, "Don't go too far!" ”

"Yo, what's wrong? Scared? Chen Dayong sneered, "If you're afraid now, just return the fern root to me!" lest you be more embarrassed tomorrow! ”

Da Dongzi dragged his fifth brother back and said, "What am I afraid of?" Don't say five dollars, if you're okay tonight, I'll pay you ten dollars! ”

After a while, he said: "But if you are struck by lightning tonight, not only will the ginseng be returned to me, but your son will have to apologize to me in front of the whole village, admitting that they not only robbed me of things on the mountain, but also ran to my house to shout to catch the thief!" ”

Chen Dayong immediately agreed, "Done!" Then we're done! ”

After a few more cruel words, he took the ginseng and left with his two sons.

Uncle Chai smiled: "Hahaha, there will be a good show to watch tomorrow, who do you say apologize to whom?" I think the Jiang family may have to lose money. ”

"Isn't this Dadongzi stupid? actually made such a bet with the Chen family, and what the little girl said nonsense could be taken seriously? I don't believe in any ginseng essence. ”

This news soon spread in the village, and everyone said that Dadongzi's daughter-in-law ran away, and he broke the jar and broke it, and made a bet with people.

"I don't know if this money is from Dadongzi himself, or his father's mother, five yuan can buy a lot of rice."

"They are all separated, there must be a big Dongzi!"

When this matter reached Erhuazi's ears, his daughter-in-law was surprised: "What's the matter with your brother?" Crazy? I've heard before that when I encounter ginseng, I don't tie the red rope, and the people will run away, but I've never heard of people participating in the conference thundering and splitting people. ”

A few pictures came to Erhuazi's mind, about him and Lingbao going to the town together, and Lingbao stunned a few educated youths who robbed money.

Thinking of this, he said: "My eldest brother has always been steady, since he dares to make this bet, he must have a plan in his heart." ”

"I don't know if it's stable or not, anyway, if he loses the bet and comes to you to borrow money, you are not allowed to borrow it." Huang Yuezhu said.

"What kind of money to borrow? Before Chinese New Year's Eve, Captain Li paid dividends, I secretly looked at the book of working hours, my eldest brother had more than 3,200 points last year, and my sister-in-law also had more than 1,200 points, plus almost 4,500 points, calculated the dividends casually have two hundred yuan, that is, if you lose the bet, will you not be able to afford five dollars? ”

Huang Yuezhu lowered her voice and said, "I heard that your sister-in-law swept away all the dividends, and she didn't leave a penny for your eldest brother." ”

"Who did you listen to?"

"What's your name?" Huang Yuezhu tried hard to think of the name, "Oh, Fang Guizhu, it's Shui Wangniang, her mother's family and sister-in-law are from the same village, and she whispered to me this morning, saying that this matter has spread all over Fangjia Village." ”

Erhuazi was surprised and angry, "What do you mean by sister-in-law?" She took all the money, what should my eldest brother do? She's not going to give all the money to her brother, is she? ”

"If she doesn't take some money and food back, can her mother let her take her two children back to waste food?" Huang Yuezhu said, "But it's a bit too much to take it all, it's not a divorce, it's just a quarrel and a twist." ”

Erhuazi frowned, "What's this called!" ”

Saying this, he felt uneasy, got up and said, "You stay at home and don't walk around, lest you knock, I have to go and see my eldest brother." ”

Huang Yuezhu called out to him, "You're leaving now, who will make dinner?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon, I won't let you go hungry, eat cornmeal gnocchi at night, I have already ground the cornmeal in the morning."
