Chen Shouhe wiped the clothes on his body with his wet big hand, put it on Chen Shouxing's shoulder, and said with a smile, "The fifth child is having a comfortable life today, borrow my brother to spend some money, and wait for my brother to ......."

Chen Shouxing slapped his hand away, lowered his head and washed his fingers with a wooden scoop, and said lightly, "I don't have money, I eat rice and rely on my daughter-in-law to support me, how can I have any money, the third brother should know if I lose nine out of ten bets." ”

Chen Shouhe shook his hand and looked at the back of him leaving, he knew that he would lose nine out of ten bets, but what if? Don't bet that he has no way out in this life, like his father and mother, he gets up early and is greedy for darkness to live in a nest, and he may not even be able to save his life in case of natural disasters!

Chen Shouxing had just walked a few steps out of the stove room when he heard his mother in the yard asking someone to secretly sell pigs to take advantage.

His mother likes to take advantage, he knows, how many people in this village don't like to take advantage? It's just that his mother is more greedy, not for the sake of a better life for this family, they are all poor.

When Zhao Miaomiao saw him coming, she ran over in small steps, pulled his sleeve, and frowned with distress.

Chen Shouxing sighed, touched her head and gave her a reassuring look, raised his eyes and said, "Mother, no!" It's not easy to transport such a big pig out, it's difficult to secretly be full of people, and it's not good for our family's reputation to be seen if it's a little careless! ”

Li Fatya blinked and muttered, "Our family's reputation is not good!" ”

Zhao Miaomiao: "......"

Chen Family: "......"

What are you talking about!

Chen Shouxing twitched the corners of his mouth and said with his forehead raised, "This is different!" It is rumored that our family is at most fond of taking advantage of small advantages, and it is not easy to provoke, which is not a bad reputation in the countryside! ”

Zhao Miaomiao's face was shocked: Xianggong, is our family such a reputation outside?

Chen Shouxing continued to persuade, "Chickens are not valuable, my sister-in-law usually asks for a chicken for many people to compensate for small fights, outsiders say at most that we hold grudges, but this pig costs more than one or two silver, and the dowry for marrying a daughter-in-law is only about three taels of silver, so that outsiders know that our family secretly sells pigs - that is greed, it is bullying orphans and widows, and our family's reputation will be ruined!" ”

Everyone in the Chen family was silent, frowning and tangled.

Mrs. Chen was not very willing to say, "Old Five, let's be careful and maybe we won't be discovered......"

Chen Shouxing interrupted forcefully, "Mother! What if Jean finds out? The son is okay to say, but what about the daughter of the family? Especially Huihui Zhaodi has to say kiss! ”

He immediately became nervous, "Mother, let's not take advantage of this, forget it!" ”

Wang Hongmei also nodded, "Auntie, there are so many daughters in the family who don't want to kiss in a few years, and they can't afford to gamble!" ”

Li Fatya didn't have a daughter, but she couldn't say anything about gambling on her niece for a pig, so she endured the pain and nodded, "Mother, forget it, we don't want this pig." ”

Dong has no opinion, anyway, the money from selling pigs can't reach her, so she can do whatever she likes.

The little men of the Chen family all shook their heads and said, "Grandma, my sister is much more valuable than a pig, so we don't want her pig!" ”

The daughters of the Chen family: "......"

Brother! You don't have to compare us to pigs!

Zhao Miaomiao pulled her mother-in-law's sleeve, "Mother~"

Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth with a straight face and said, "You all said no, can the old lady still be a wicked person?" Listen to the old five! ”

Zhao Miaomiao smiled, and looked at her husband with sparkling eyes.

Chen Shouxing hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Mother, we are not greedy for the Liu family's pigs, not to give the pigs to her family, our pigs are much fatter than hers, let's find a butcher to come over and kill the pig that can't be raised in front of the villagers, and by the way, weigh the pig of the Liu family and subtract the silver we should earn for raising a pig, and return the money to the Liu family!" ”

Zhao Miaomiao glanced at the pigsty in the pigsty, the injured pig was bigger than the one that was coming, if it was given directly to the Liu family, our family would lose! It is suitable for Xianggong to deal with it in this way.

Mrs. Chen felt troublesome at first, but when she heard it, her eyes lit up at the end, "That's it!" The third child went to find Butcher Liu! ”

Half an hour later, Chen Shouhe brought Butcher Liu over.

Jinbao and Yinbao shouted loudly around the village, "Kill the pig, kill the pig!" ”

After a while, a bunch of people gathered in the courtyard of the Chen family.

Chen Shouxing opened his mouth and said, "Folks, the pigs cut by the widower can't be fed, and now they can sell it for a lot of money at most, and my nieces and nephews can't work in vain after working hard for more than half a year, so the Liu family must pay for it, isn't this the reason?" ”

Everyone nodded and wondered, "Didn't your family want the Liu family to lose a pig?" ”

Chen Shouxing said with a smile, "My mother has a good heart, she went back to think about it, and remembered that her family made Huohuo's pigs still sell, and it was not easy for Liu's sister-in-law to be orphans and widows, as long as the Liu family compensated my family for the benefits that a pig should receive." ”

Mrs. Chen has a good heart? The onlookers stared wide-eyed, was he telling a joke?

Liu Su's eyes were red and staring at the pig that was originally hers, and when she heard this, she turned around and asked, "What does it mean to pay only one pig?" ”

Chen Shouxing didn't reply to her and continued, "Today, I will weigh the people from the Liu family in front of everyone, and let the Liu butcher calculate the price, when my Chen family is to buy the Liu family's pigs." ”

The onlookers looked at each other and asked, "Chen Laowu, what do you mean by this, why did your Chen family buy the Liu family?" ”

Chen Shouxing pointed to the pig that was being weighed and replied, "My family can earn half a tael of silver for raising a pig, if the price of this pig is one tael, my family will give Sister-in-law Liu half a tael of silver." ”

Liu Su wanted to say that he couldn't earn so much when he heard that raising a pig could earn half a tael of silver, but he was afraid that the Chen family would regret not giving the silver, so he swallowed his words back.

If the Chen family knew what she wanted, they would have rolled their eyes and scolded, how much better my pigs are than yours!

The onlookers didn't think there was anything wrong with half a tael of silver, so they counted with their fingers, and looked at Mrs. Chen in disbelief in understanding.

"Aunt Chen really didn't take advantage of it this time!"

Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes and said, "When did I take advantage of others?" My daughter-in-law worked hard to keep an eye on people, and she delayed her work to catch people, shouldn't she compensate the person who stole things? Besides, pay more, the flesh hurts him to death, next time I see if he dares to come! ”

Zhao Miaomiao: "??? ”

Li Fatya and Wang Hongmei nodded in agreement.

The onlookers were shocked, and they wanted to say something wrong, but their brains felt reasonable.

Mrs. Chen couldn't help but scold when she saw their stunned appearance, they are all stupid and stupid, and sure enough, not everyone is as smart as the old lady!

Butcher Liu weighed the weight with a few villagers and calculated the pig money, and Mrs. Chen endured the pain and hesitated to hand over the silver.

Liu Su looked at her like this, and hurriedly snatched the leg and ran, for fear that it would be a little later, and Mrs. Chen would regret snatching the silver back.

The onlookers saw that Mrs. Chen really gave the silver, so they were sure that it was really not a fraud.
