"Nope." Hu Lao Er resolutely denied it, he tried not to look at the old lady's eyes, for fear that the old lady would not believe it, so he hurriedly expressed his attitude:

"Really, mother. The eldest brother said that he would give it after the matter was completed. ”

Now that things have not been completed, the silver promised at the beginning naturally does not count.

"How much?"

The old lady didn't care about that, only asked the amount. Hu Lao Er had no choice, so he told the truth:

"One hundred taels."

Anyway, he didn't take a penny of this silver, and Hu Lao Er said frankly.

Hu Baozhu's gaze immediately shot over, she married only one hundred taels, and the second brother got one hundred taels without paying anything. It's not fair, it's so unfair!

She crumpled her handkerchief, feeling aggrieved.

The old lady saw that Hu Lao Er was frank and knew that he was not lying, since this was the case......

"Take it out."

The five hundred taels of dowry given by the Qian family, Hu Lao Da accounted for the lion's share, and Hu Lao Tai, Hu Lao Er and Hu Baozhu were each one hundred taels here. In this way, Boss Hu is also generous...... Ahh

The old lady didn't seem to be joking, and Hu Lao'er was full of question marks when she heard it.

What to take, he didn't take a penny!

The old lady is a good puzzle solver. Since Hu Lao Er didn't understand what he meant, she explained one or two:

"The divorce was ignored, and the good bride price of 1,000 taels could not be less. You don't want your big brother to be poked in the backbone in the future, do you? ”

The reason for the divorce lies in the Hu family, but it does not mean that the Hu family is right in everything they do. If the bride price of 1,000 taels of silver is not returned to the Qian family, the Hu family is still wrong.

The old lady's eyelids rolled, and the provocative intention was fully revealed. Hu Lao Er and Hu Lao Dad have such a good relationship, can they still watch Hu Lao Da being scolded?

Hu Lao Er said in his heart that he didn't care, and his mouth was also very direct:

"Mother, I don't have any money." He shouldn't have taken the money at all!

Hu Lao Er thought that if he didn't take the silver, the old lady would have no way to take him?

The old lady knocked the rolling pin on the ground, and Boss Hu, who was not far away, shuddered and shrunk himself into a ball.

"Really? A yard in the city isn't cheap, is it? ”

seems to be a casual sentence, except for the old lady in the courtyard, only Hu Lao Er understands its meaning.

Hu Lao'er swallowed all his dissatisfaction back into his stomach, he was really scared this time, the old lady actually knew, where did she know!

With the experience of Hu Lao's experience, Hu Lao Er did not dare to mess with himself. I don't know if the old lady really knows, or pretends to know?

"Second child, my mother has always thought you were a smart person. If it weren't for the orderliness of the young and the old, you should have been sent to the school. The old lady's tone softened, and she regretted not being at the beginning.

Boss Hu has worked hard for half his life, but he is only a talented man. If Hu Lao Er is replaced to go to school, with his intelligence, he may be admitted to the lifting of people early.

Studying has always been a pain in Hu Laoer's heart. He had the same thoughts as the old lady, but ...... And how?

Hu Lao Er turned his head awkwardly, "What does it mean for my mother to say this now?" ”

The wind rustled the fallen leaves, and the green-skinned grapefruit that fell to the ground did not move. He is almost confused, and he also talks about the past in his childhood, which is even more ridiculous.

Is it ridiculous?

The old lady didn't think so.

The blossoming and fruiting of a tree is not the end of life, the fruit gives birth to the seed, and a new round of inheritance has begun.

"Guangmao is eleven years old, Guangqing is already literate and hyphenated at his age, you don't want to think about your son's future when you are a father?"

Why didn't you think about it?

Because Hu Laoer didn't study back then, he was particularly concerned about his son's education.

At that time, Hu Guangqing and Hu Guang went deep into school, and he also wanted to let his son go to school. What's the matter, Hu Guangmao was too young, the old man didn't speak, and he didn't dare to say anything.

When Hu Guangmao reached the age of age, the old man was terminally ill and needed money to treat his illness, and Hu Guangmao's enrollment was delayed again and again.

By now, Hu Guangmao is old, and the regular academy does not accept it. sent to Xiucai's house to know a few big characters, but Hu Lao Er was unwilling. Just like this, he can't go up or down, and Hu Lao Er is also anxious.

He looked at the old lady with a blank eye, wondering what breakthrough the old lady had made when she mentioned this matter?

"Guangqing won this honor, and the academy also treated the Hu family very well, promising that the Hu family could enter the school for free, regardless of age."

The old lady's words were like a timely rain, moistening Hu Laoer's chapped heart.

"What my mother said is true?" He couldn't wait to ask, and there was a light in his eyes.

"If you don't believe it, ask Guangqing."

Believe, of course believe.

Hu Lao Er no longer had any doubts, and he couldn't wait to send Hu Guangmao to the academy tomorrow.

Suddenly remembering something, Hu Lao Er touched his hand and asked implicitly:

"Mother, have you been to the county seat?"

Otherwise, how do you know that the houses in the county are not cheap?

The old lady didn't answer, and said to him:

"Second child, when my mother followed your father to the north and south, you were not born yet."

The old lady had eaten more salt than he had ever eaten, and now he had the foresight, what did he do to fight the old lady?

Hu Lao Er rubbed his hands together and continued:

"A yard in the city is really not cheap, and my mother wants to buy a house in the city?"

His tentative meaning was obvious, and the old lady stared at Hu Lao Er with a smile. Since he wanted to tempt, she told him:

"Well, as far as the house on Huaihua Street is concerned, I think it's good."

Huaihua Street is where Hu Lao Er bought the yard!

"Mother......" He almost knelt for the old lady, this time he didn't dare to tempt, the old lady really knew, she knew that he had bought a house!

The Hu family is not separated, and it stands to reason that the income of each house must be managed by the old lady. And such a major event as buying a house belongs to the collective property of the family.

Hu Lao Er didn't tell anyone about buying a house, and after the family was separated, the house would be his private property. But now the old lady actually knows about it, and if the old lady wants to confiscate the house, he is completely unreasonable.

Hu Lao Er did a very hidden job, except for him and Cong's, even Hu Guangmao didn't know, where did the old lady find out?

Because he couldn't figure out the source of the old lady's information, Hu Lao Er felt even more panicked.

"Knock knock." The rolling pin hit the earth regularly one by one, and also hit Hu Laoer's heart. His heart beat to the sound of the rolling pin clattering, and he stared at the old lady as if to see a flower.

The old lady let him see it, and said calmly:

"Mother and you want a hundred taels of silver, isn't it too much?"

That's right, the old lady just wants to use the house to force Hu Lao Er to make a choice. Either take the silver or take the house.

Over the years, Hu Laoer's salary has risen again and again, but the salary he handed over to the old lady has always been the original apprentice's salary. The money saved bought a house by himself, and he dared to run to the old lady and cry poor? Today, the old lady asked him to spit out all the money he had before.

"That house ......" In the flash, Hu Lao Er had an idea. If the old lady doesn't want a house, he can accept the money.

"Our family is almost out of the pot, what house to buy!"

With a knock on the rolling pin, Hu Lao Er almost knelt on the ground.

In front of the old lady, even the dragon had to be coiled for her, and the tiger had to lie down for her.

Hu Lao Er was in a panic and hurriedly said:

"I don't have that much money on hand right now." This is the meaning of the answer to the exchange of money for the house.

"Don't rush, take your time."

The old lady smiled "kindly", and saw that Hu Laoer's skin was tense.

"Huh." He didn't dare not agree, the old lady threatened him with the house and the rolling pin, he didn't want to be beaten all over the ground like the boss.
