Half-demon peasant girl has space

Chapter 23 Hearing the Rumors

"What!" Tao Qian couldn't believe it when he heard what Li said about how the second house sold ginseng and got a lot of money: "What you said is true?"

Tao Erde, who was silently smoking a dry cigarette, forgot to smoke, and looked at Mrs. Li in shock.

"Mother, is this still fake? It's spread all over the village." Li said with an exaggerated expression: "I heard that the ginseng sold by the second brother and sister's family is more than 30 years old. I bought seven 80 taels of silver, seven 80 taels! Mom!"

As soon as Tao Qian heard that his second son's family got so much money, his heart suddenly thumped: "I knew that they were all white-eyed wolves who were not familiar with the group. They got such good ginseng, not to mention using it to honor their parents. , He actually stole the cat and sold it, a bunch of unfilial things."

"That's not true." Xiaoqian was also listening, and then poked the fire secretly: "Mother, even if I got that much money, I should honor it to you and my father. There is no reason for me to take it all by myself. Besides, Shiro It's time to go to school."

Mrs. Li couldn't help but glared at Mrs. Qian, never forgetting to take advantage of her.

Little Qian didn't care what Li's eyes were, but only looked at Tao Qian's with burning eyes. Their third wife had no skills, and they had no money in their hands. Shiro is eight years old and hasn't gone to school yet.

After listening to Xiaoqian's words, Tao Qian began to think secretly. To be honest, there is actually no money in the family now. Most of the money saved before was used for the boss and Dalang Saburo to study, and there is only a little bit left Son, you must leave a coffin book for her and the old man.

As for the money earned by the boss, because he has to save the travel expenses for the exam, he has been saving it with the boss. Besides, the family’s land is now exempt from tax because of the boss’s status as a scholar. The greatest hope is that she can't do things that make the boss bored.

But Shiro is also his own grandson, even his nephew, Xiaoqian is right, he should let Shiro go to school, he is eight years old.

Thinking of this, Tao Qian didn't care about Tao Erde's warning to him a few days ago, and said to Xiao Qian: "You ask Erya to go over there and let Mrs. Duan come to the old house tomorrow. "

"I'm not going!" Tao Qianxiang had been eavesdropping outside the house, but she heard Tao Qian asked herself to inform Duan. Although she was jealous of Qianlian, she was also a little scared of her, and she didn't know what happened to that dead girl. What's the matter, now a look can make me terrified.

"Erya, come in." Hearing Tao Qianxiang's voice, Tao Qian yelled.

Tao Qianxiang then entered the room: "Grandma, let Shiro call Second Aunt."

"If I tell you to go, you can go. Where are you talking so much?" When Xiao Qian heard that Tao Qianxiang wanted to instruct her youngest son, she immediately became a little unhappy, so she patted Tao Qianxiang: "Hurry up."

Tao Qianxiang pouted, knowing that she had to go on this trip, so she reluctantly left the old house and came outside the Tao family's yard, where she saw Mrs. Duan doing some chores in the yard. They didn't even enter, and shouted at Duan through the fence: "Second Aunt, grandma told you to go to the old house tomorrow, don't forget."

After speaking, without waiting for Duan's answer, he ran away without looking back.

Duan was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask Tao Qianxiang, but Tao Qianxiang had already disappeared.

Tao Hechen and Qianlian didn't go out today, so they both came out after hearing Tao Qianxiang's words.

Duan was a little apprehensive: "Your grandma asked me to go to the old house tomorrow."

Qian Lian sneered: "Mother, the news about our family selling ginseng is spreading in the village. The old house must know about it. I reckon it's asking you for money."

In the past two days, not only the villagers discussed in private, Han Dahua also came to ask Duan face to face, asking her why some ginseng did not respect the elderly. At that time, Qian Lian and Tao Hechen were not at home. Then Han Dahua was scolded by Mrs. Lin.

"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Duan became a little nervous: "How good this is."

She knew in her heart that this money cannot be given, but if her mother-in-law oppressed her with filial piety, what should she do?

"It's okay, mother, I will accompany you to the old house tomorrow." Qian Lian said, "Let's see how shameless the old house is."

"Mother, I'll go with you too." Tao Hechen was worried that his mother and younger sister would go to the old house, so naturally he wanted to go with him.

"Mother, show some confidence, you can't just let the old mansion say what you want." Qian Lian took the opportunity to say to Duan Shi: "Anyway, the money is with me, even if you promise me something, I will do it too." No money will come out."

"Definitely not." Duan frowned and said, "But if you use filial piety..."

"Mother, if Grandma suppresses you with filial piety at that time, you will cry, cry hard, and leave the rest to me and brother." Qian Lian thought for a while to give Duan an idea: "Anyway, you don't want to do anything. promise."

"Yes, mother, leave it to me and my little sister." Tao Hechen also said hastily.

"However, if you contradict your grandparents, they will definitely give you a reputation of being unfilial." As the reputation of her daughter and son is concerned, Duan is unwilling: "No, let me do it."

"Mother, are you good at fighting milk?" Qian Lian asked.

Duan was silent.

Qian Lian then said: "Mother, you need to find out now that the old house wants to take away our hard-earned money, why? If the old house bullies us like this, our family will die sooner or later. What's the use of fame?"

"Okay." Duan was persuaded by Qian Lian, yes, why should the money from the sale of ginseng that her daughter dug back from the mountains be distributed to the old house?Obviously they have separated, if someone really wants to pay attention to the reputation of the son and daughter, at worst, she can take it all on herself.

When Mrs. Duan went to cook dinner, Tao Hechen murmured to Qianlian, "Little sister, do you think that Hu Langzhong told us about our ginseng sale?"

"There is no one else but him." Qian Lian squinted her eyes and said, "That guy is not a kind, outright villain."

"We can't guess out of thin air, we still have to make sure, in case someone is wrongly blamed." Tao Hechen felt that everything should be based on evidence.

Qianlian nodded and said, "Well, listen to brother."

However, Qianlian has already decided in her heart that Hu Langzhong must be the one spreading the rumors, after all, other people have no reason to harm them.

At night, Tao Zhixin went home after hanging out enough.

The old Tao family now has ten mu of land, and the only labor force is Tao Erde and Tao Zhixin, but Tao Erde is old and Tao Zhixin is a lazy person, so the old Tao family simply rented out the land and collected rent every year. It also came easy.

Therefore, Tao Zhixin had nothing to do, so he wandered around all day, and never went home to eat until lunch time.

Xiaoqian has long been used to it, and when Tao Zhixin came back, he muttered what happened today to Tao Zhixin.

Tao Zhixin also heard about Erfang's sale of ginseng for money, but he didn't think it had anything to do with him, so he didn't pay much attention to it. They separated, and pointed at the widow's sister-in-law to hand over the money to the public?
So, Tao Zhixin frowned after hearing Xiaoqian's words: "Isn't that bad?"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Qian glared and said, "Don't forget, your son hasn't learned yet."

"But……"

"But what is it?" Xiaoqian yelled in a low voice: "Mother's decision, you still want to refute it?"

Tao Zhixin shut his mouth, forget it, as long as he doesn't suffer any disadvantages.
