Chapter 216 Chapter 216
"This isn't..." Father Li rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Today, your sister Yuping couldn't think about it for a while, and committed suicide by diving..."

"Sister Yuping committed suicide by diving, why did she commit suicide by diving?"

"Speaking of which, sister Yuping is really pitiful. Forget it, let's not mention this. When I jumped into the water to save her, I lost the two taels of silver on my body. The two taels of silver are what my father promised to lend to your uncle."

"What is uncle doing to borrow money from you?" Li Fengjun was even more puzzled, "Why didn't he just ask mother to borrow money?"

"You marry such a good daughter-in-law Hua'er, so you don't understand the pain of our men. Didn't your uncle hide a sum of private money? It was the private money he had worked so hard to save for more than ten years. What was he thinking about?" It is safe to keep this private money, but guess how he kept it?"

Li Fengjun became interested, blinked his eyes and said curiously: "Father, don't be a fool, how does uncle keep it?"

Father Li chuckled: "He took all the broken silver to the silver shop in the county, and made it into something that no one else would touch..."

He suddenly burst out laughing, fearing that Mrs. Feng would hear him, he quickly covered his mouth again, leaned close to Li Fengjun's ear and whispered, "The chamber pot...haha..."

Li Fengjun couldn't help but also laughed loudly: "Uncle, he is really...haha...ingenious, able to come up with such a shameless method."

Hearing that he was laughing too loudly, Father Li hurriedly yelled: "Hush your voice, don't let your mother hear you."

Li Fengjun quickly covered his mouth, and asked again: "Uncle has so much private money, why should I borrow money from you?"

"No, your uncle kept secrets and forgot to set aside the craft fee. The chamber pot was finished, but your uncle couldn't even get a penny. He couldn't afford the craft fee. Naturally, he refused to hand over the chamber pot. give him."

Li Fengjun was so angry that he clenched his right hand into a fist and thumped the palm of his left hand: "Which black shop dares to ask for two taels of silver for craftsmanship, I smashed his shop."

Father Li's face flushed. In fact, making a chamber pot is very simple. Even if it is a little more delicate, it is impossible to spend as much effort as making jewelry. They only charge [-] Wen for the handwork.

Didn't he want to borrow two more money from his son?

He was embarrassed to say, thought for a while and said: "Look at you, now you are all studying in the school, and you still talk about what I said, I am your father!"

He stretched out his hand and was about to cover Li Fengjun's head, Li Fengjun hid aside, and said with a grin, "Father, don't change the subject, isn't it because you want to make a difference?"

Father Li was seen through by him at a glance, and he blushed and "coughed" and said: "Your father and I are that kind of person, don't you think about it, in addition to the craftsmanship fee, people always have to pay for a hush money or something, otherwise it will spread." Let your aunt know that your uncle should not sleep on the street, after all, there are not many people in Songhuai County who are rich enough to use a silver chamber pot, right?"

Li Fengjun thought about it for a while.

How many rich people are there like Liu Yuanwai, most of them are common people, who knows how to use a silver chamber pot.

Uncle is really clever but was mistaken by cleverness.

Just as he was thinking about it, Father Li smacked his arm, "So, your uncle has no choice. He knows that your mother and your aunt are like sisters, so how dare you ask your mother to borrow it from me? Help, you know, your father and I have always been poor, these years..."

He suddenly sighed, "Oh, I saved two taels of silver from my own money between my teeth, but I lost it."

Li Fengjun frowned and thought for a while, "That's right, I really can't ask my mother for it, but I don't have two taels of silver with me."

Father Li made the best second choice: "Then how much money do you have?"

"It's only five hundred words."

He also planned to hand it over to Xiao Ganchai at night.

Father Li was very disappointed: "Five hundred Wen is not enough."

"Let's do this." Li Fengjun said very generously, "I'll ask for Hua'er in a while."

"How can this be possible?" Father Li objected, "How can I ask Hua'er for money? No, no, it's too shameful. I must never ask Hua'er for money, otherwise, will I lose my face?"

"Father, don't worry, Hua'er is very reasonable, she will definitely borrow it."

Father Li firmly disagreed: "I'm willing to borrow flowers, but I can't ask for them either."

"Father, you have become hypocritical. My money is Hua'er's money. If you borrow from me, you are actually borrowing from Hua'er. If you really don't want to borrow, then there is nothing you can do."

"..."

"Didn't my uncle make the silver chamber pot? Just ask someone to scrape some silver from the silver chamber pot to pay for the craftsmanship."

Father Li shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, it's not that you don't know who your uncle is, or... the kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder Hua'er mentioned, if the silver chamber pot is missing, he will definitely feel extremely uncomfortable. The chamber pot was melted down and rebuilt into a small dot..."

Before saying a word, Mrs. Feng walked in, and Father Li shut his mouth in a hurry.

Feng asked suspiciously, "What are you father and son talking about?"

Father Li waved his hand quickly: "No...it's nothing."

Feeling something was wrong, Feng asked Li Fengjun again, "Tianbao, what did your father tell you just now?"

Father Li quickly put his hands on his neck, making a gesture of killing a chicken and wiping his neck.

Li Fengjun said in a sloppy manner: "It's really nothing, it's just that dad asked me how the exam is going and whether I can win another case. I heard that many people in the village have bet that I won't win the case."

Fearing that Li Fengjun would be unhappy, Feng said with a smile, "You don't care what other people do, as long as you do your best."

"Yes, Mother is right." Li Fengjun raised his neck and looked out, "Where are the flowers?"

"Hua'er is in Jiaojiao's house, Tianbao, you don't know how beautiful Hua'er is in the clothes made by your mother and your second sister, like a little fairy."

Li Fengjun proudly said: "It's not me who blows it, my little dry firewood looks good even if it's wrapped in a sack."

"Fuck you, what nonsense are you kidding, how could I put Hua'er in a sack, hurry up and ask Hua'er and Jiaojiao to eat."

"Eh--"

Li Fengjun ran away joyfully as soon as he agreed, wanting to see what his little cadre, Chai Meicheng, looked like.

As soon as I ran to the door of the West House, I heard laughter from inside.

"Hua'er, what you said is true. Someone named Tianbao, Zhuzhu, my wife? Haha..."

Li Fengjun's face darkened suddenly.

I am ashamed.

This damned little Ganchai actually exposed his embarrassment in front of his second sister.

Wang Luohua laughed and said: "Really, who told Brother Tianbao to be so patriarchal?"

In fact, she didn't mean to mention this matter, but Li Yujiao said that she didn't know she was so busy until she went to the medical clinic with her that day.

He also told her to eat on time, and if she didn't eat on time, her stomach would feel uncomfortable.

She explained that a patient came here temporarily, and that patient happened to be the young master who regarded Li Fengjun as Zhu Zhu.

Just chatting about this.

The corner of Li Fengjun's mouth twitched, his face darkened even more.

Li Yujiao smiled again: "My Tianbao really looks like a little girl."

Li Fengjun's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Li Yujiao continued, "You're really pretty, Hua'er..." She took Wang Luohua's hand, "You're really pretty too."

Wang Luohua smiled and said, "Second Sister, you are the first-class peerless beauty."

"Me?" Li Yujiao looked at her in disbelief, then looked down at the white hair hanging on her chest, her face became sad, "I am not good-looking at all, and I look different from you, your hair They are all black, but I am white."

Wang Luohua was about to tell her that she was recently developing a black hair pill that could turn white hair into black hair, when she heard Li Yuyao's crisp voice.

"Hey, brother Tianbao, what are you doing standing here, why don't you go in?"

Hutou covered his small mouth and smiled: "There is no need to ask, brother Tianbao must be eavesdropping on the corner."

As he spoke, he stretched out his chubby little fingers to scratch his cheeks, "Brother Tianbao is not shy, and even eavesdropped on the corner of the wall."

"If you talk nonsense again, I will punish you for copying the "Book of Songs" [-] times!"

After finishing speaking, Li Fengjun snorted coldly and walked away angrily.

Wang Luohua and Li Yujiao looked at each other, and they both burst out laughing.

No need to guess, what they said just now was definitely heard by Li Fengjun.

Sure enough, you can't tell people behind their backs.

……

Early the next morning, Li Fengjun pulled Old Man Li aside, and stuffed a money bag into Old Man Li's hand.

Father Li knew it was silver as soon as he touched it. He opened his eyes wide and said, "Where did you get it?"

"Nature is given by flowers."

"Ah, how good is this?"

The father-in-law asked his daughter-in-law for money, and if word got out, where would he put his old face.

Even if he didn't spread the word, how could he be ashamed to see Hua'er.

He mainly wanted to snatch some private money from his son. If he had it, he would think of other ways. At most, he would borrow some money from the third and fourth children, and he didn't want to use his daughter-in-law's money.

"Father, don't you get cheap and act good, making it seem like we are forcing you to have it."

"..."

"Don't worry, Hua'er understands righteousness and will definitely not reveal a word."

Last night, he angrily went to find Xiaoganchai to settle the score, and after some calculations, he didn't know what happened, but somehow he was at a disadvantage and was almost punished to kneel on the washboard.

Fortunately, he was clever, and when he brought up the matter of his uncle using private money to build a silver chamber pot, Xiao Ganchai couldn't help laughing.

Xiaoganchai was very forthright, and took out two taels of silver without saying a word.

When Wang Luohua walked over with the toiletries, she saw the father and son talking under the wisteria trellis, she just pretended not to see, and started to fetch water to wash her face.

I really couldn't laugh last night.

Uncle is too "talented".

To think of using private money to build a silver chamber pot, most people really can't think of this.

She took the bucket and was about to throw it into the well when Li Fengjun ran over, took the bucket in her hand and said with a smile: "It's our men's business to do hard work, so why do you women do it?"

Wang Luohua smiled and said, "I'm not so delicate."

While fetching water, Li Fengjun said, "You don't have to be delicate in front of others, but you must be delicate in front of your husband-in-law."

Wang Luohua asked with a smile: "Why?"

Li Fengjun carried the water up three times, looked at Wang Luohua with a smile, and said, "This way I will have a sense of accomplishment."

"Screw your sense of accomplishment."

Wang Luohua smiled and fetched water to wash. After washing, Li Fengjun looked at her long hair like a crow's feather and said with a smile, "How about I help you comb your hair?"

Wang Luohua thought that her parents were still there, so she felt a little embarrassed and said, "It's not that good."

Li Fengjun took the comb in her hand: "What's wrong with that, I'm your husband-in-law, and my father combs my mother's hair, so I want to help you too."

"……OK then."

He was about to help her comb her hair when he heard someone cough and turned his head to see that it was Boss Li.

Boss Li struggled to carry the three big fat chickens. The chickens struggled in horror and made cuckoo noises.

Boss Li saw Li Fengjun and Wang Luohua by the well at a glance, and he greeted them ashamedly.

Li Fengjun and Wang Luohua politely called him uncle.

Father Li was stunned for a moment when he heard Boss Li's voice, thinking that he had heard wrongly. After all, it had been a long time since the elder brother hadn't taken the initiative to come to the door.

Mrs. Feng happened to come out from the west room, saw Boss Li coming with a chicken, and said with a smile, "Brother, why are you free?"

Father Li blushed with embarrassment, and raised the big fat chicken in his hand: "Yesterday, the second child, the third child and the fourth child saved Yuping's life, regardless of my elder brother's hatred, so I brought some chickens here specially." , one family."

Originally, he wanted to bring some eggs over last night, and he also wanted to thank those people in the village who jumped into the water to save Yuping.

Last time, many villagers jumped into the water to save Tianbao and his wife. Afterwards, the second wife and his wife also took the initiative to come to thank them.

Not only did they refuse to accept their thank-you gifts, but they even gave the second wife two thank-you gifts, saying that Tianbao and his wife saved their lives.

Otherwise, if they went to work in the mines, they might never come back.

Every time he thought about it, he felt ashamed.

The old woman had no choice but to quarrel with him, and would rather smash the egg than let him come over.

He was annoyed for a while, and slapped her. Early this morning, the old woman was so angry that she returned to her mother's house with the remaining eggs.

Just right, the house is quiet.

Without eggs, he could only come here with chickens.

Although Mrs. Feng and Mr. Li couldn't bear to ignore Mr. Li's kindness, they were determined not to accept this chicken.

Not to mention, the big house gradually declined.

Just talk about Jiao Shi, if you let her know, you don't have to come here and make a big noise.

Not only did the two of them refuse to accept, but none of the three and four bedrooms accepted.

In the end, Boss Li actually cried, crying and beating his chest: "I know why you don't want to accept me. You still blame me for being a big brother. Also, I don't look like a big brother. I don't deserve to be a human being. I'm just a big brother." A wimp, worse than an animal, even if he dies one day, he will have no face to go underground to meet his parents..."

The three brothers couldn't bear to see him like this, but they were really afraid that Mrs. Jiao would make trouble.

Mr. Li and Mr. Li hardened their hearts and resolutely refused to accept it.

Li Laosan couldn't bear to think that his elder brother carried him to the town to find a doctor overnight, so he accepted the chicken he sent.

Boss Li got a little comfort in his heart, wiped his tears, and went to the house with the other two chickens.

As soon as Mrs. Xu came out, she saw Li Laosan holding a chicken in his hand, and she immediately became anxious: "Brother Guoxing, how can you accept the chicken that elder brother sent?"
