Chapter 19 made a fortune

In Xie's old house, Xie Changheng took his younger brother Xie Changzhi to Xiumu home. Early in the morning, he heard Grandma muttering while feeding the chicken:
"All of them are unworthy descendants. One ran away overnight without saying a word, and one moved out and didn't know to come back to have a look."

"It's all white-eyed wolves. What's the use of having children? They are born to be separated. If I knew this, I shouldn't have had a few more children and suffered from the boss. If I say that our boss doesn't know how to forgive What a good boy."

"Okay," Xie Dabao squatted at the door of the main room, frowning and smoking a pipe. He was getting impatient with the old woman talking about him early in the morning, "Shut up, you will die if you don't talk."

Mrs. Zhao stuck the dustpan on her waist, freed one hand to pinch her waist and looked at Xie Dabao dissatisfied, "Oh, you think I'm annoying, right? I just said a few words, why, impatient Are you thinking about other women? Don’t you look at who gave you a good son. Without a good son, you can have two good grandchildren? Without two good grandchildren, you can be so arrogant in the village? You..."

"Okay, okay," Xie Dabao knocked the tobacco rod on the door frame, stood up and said impatiently with his hands behind his back, "The more you talk, the more shameful it becomes. The children are all at home. You want to make people laugh Is it?"

Mrs. Zhao was dissatisfied and was about to open her mouth to argue. Xie Changheng pushed the door out from the east wing, and saw the elders in the courtyard smiling slightly, and saluted the two of them gently.

"Good morning, grandpa and grandma."

Mrs. Zhao immediately stopped arguing, and looked at the grandson with a smile on her face, her tone was kind as if she wasn't the one who made trouble just now.

"Chang Heng woke up, why didn't Xiu Mu sleep more today? Are you hungry, grandma will bring you breakfast right now."

"I'm used to getting up at this hour, and I won't be able to fall asleep even if I lie down." Xie Changheng went up to meet him, "Grandma, let me help you."

Mrs. Zhao smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, "It's okay, it's okay, how can you, a scholar, enter a place like the kitchen, isn't there a saying that a gentleman... stay away from the kitchen?"

"It's a gentleman who stays away from the kitchen." Xie Changheng smiled, and followed him to the kitchen, "Grandma, filial piety doesn't count."

Mrs. Zhao couldn't resist him, on the one hand, she felt that this eldest grandson who already had the status of a scholar should not do women's work, and on the other hand, she felt deeply comforted.

Compared with his elder brother, Xie Changzhi was more childish, and he preferred to sleep more when resting and taking a bath, so he didn't come out of the room in a hurry until it was time for dinner, and he didn't tie his clothes properly.

Xie Changheng glanced at him, then turned his head and continued the conversation with Xie Dabao.

Xie Changzhi's body froze at this glance, and he hurriedly tidied up his clothes with a dry laugh.

His eldest brother has already been admitted to the scholar's honor at a young age, and has been gentle and harmless since he was a child, but God knows that Xie Changzhi is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid of his gentle elder brother to death.

As soon as I sat down, I heard my elder brother say: "The third uncle has moved out for a long time. As a junior, I haven't visited him yet, so it's somewhat rude."

"You should go and have a look." Xie Dabao took a sip of sweet potato porridge, thought for a while and said, "Your third uncle is a good one, but it's a pity...get something later, don't empty-handed."

Xie Changheng smiled: "Yes, I know."

Mrs. Zhao took care of everything. She is a stingy person, but the third child is her child after all, no matter how much she doesn't like her, she will not deny it.Besides, this child Xie Gui has always been very filial, but he was dragged down by a medicine jar daughter.

"Talk about your third uncle. He's just an incomprehensible one. He's smart and capable, but he wants to keep that medicine pot. It's been so miserable for so many years. Who's the poor one?"

Xie Changheng stood quietly by the side, watching Zhao Shi pack up a lot of things.

It wasn't until the brothers went out that their ears became clear.

Xie Changzhi rubbed his ears, and complained in a low voice: "Grandma is too good at talking. If I don't come out, my ears feel like a hornet's nest will grow."

Xie Changheng gave him a funny look, "Didn't you say you like grandma the most?"

Xie Changzhi made a bitter face: "Usually I like it the most, but grandma loves to chatter. Sometimes I really wonder why grandma has so many things to complain about."

Xie Changheng let go of his eyes and looked towards the distance of the village. Peach blossoms, deep and shallow, were blooming all over the mountains and plains. The air was filled with this light fragrance of peach blossoms.

"Who knows, people always have a lot of unsatisfactory things."

Xie Changzhi glanced at his brother strangely, and found that his brother's face was quite peaceful, and his tone was quite calm. He should be in a good mood.

At the same time, Xie Gui had just arrived at home, and when he knocked on the door, he kept touching the bulging area on his chest, feeling a little excited.

Mrs. Li opened the door, saw that it was Xie Gui who immediately dragged him into the house, and asked him in a low voice, "How is it? How much did you sell for?"

Xie Gui's suppressed excitement was immediately aroused by this question, and he raised two fingers with both hands that couldn't hold back the joy on his face: "220 taels! It's 20 taels more than we thought!"

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, and then became more excited, urging Xie Gui to quickly take out the money.

Xie Gui took out a bag of silver from his pocket, squeezed the corner of the cloth and dumped the money on the table.

Four silver ingots of 50 taels, one small ingot of ten taels, and a pile of copper coins specially exchanged.

With a slap, the table was covered with money, and the vain money was right in front of my eyes.

Mrs. Li was so excited that she even wanted to grab a piece of silver and bite it with her teeth.

In fact, it's not that Mrs. Li has never seen so much money, or even more, but this time it is her own money, money that can make her children's lives better, so she is naturally a little excited.

When the two were excited enough, Xie Gui looked around and asked, "Where are the children?"

Mrs. Li was still counting the money on the table, "Did the two little ones go out with Xiaoyu?"

"Where have you been?"

"Where else can I go? I'm going up the mountain."

Xie Gui stood up abruptly and shouted loudly, "What? Are you going up the mountain again?"

"Oh!" Mrs. Li was taken aback, patting her chest repeatedly, "I'm going to die, I suddenly yelled so loudly. What's the matter, Xiaoyu and the others won't go up the mountain someday, so why make a fuss."

Xie Guichou frowned: "Didn't I tell you yesterday, in the backyard, I saw Xiaoyu standing with that little wild kid from the Wu family, aren't you worried?"

"What's there to worry about?" Mrs. Li glanced at him, "That child is pitiful, we Xiaoyu are kind-hearted and don't want to say a few words to others, is there any problem?"

Xie Gui took a deep look at his wife, with a look of resentment, and patted the back of his hands and asked heartbroken: "Our Xiaoyu is a girl, and the child is a handle, don't you worry?"

Mrs. Li squinted at him strangely, "How old is Xiaoyu, how old is that child, don't you think about what such a young child can worry about?"

After finishing speaking, she gave Xie Gui a push, "Hey, isn't it a little early for you to worry about this?"

Xie Gui was completely hopeless, this person has a big heart and no sense of crisis.

"No." Xie Gui stood up abruptly, walked back and forth a few steps, rubbed his hands and shook his head, "No, no, no, I still have to tell Xiaoyu, girls must protect themselves."

Mrs. Li rolled her eyes to express her speechlessness. Just as she was about to speak, she heard someone shouting outside the door, and the two of them froze in place at the same time.

Mrs. Li gave him a wink while putting up the silver, Xie Gui stood by the table and asked loudly: "Oh, where is it, who is it?"

Xie Changheng replied: "Third Uncle, it's me, Changheng."

"Oh," Xie Gui heaved a sigh of relief, and said to Mrs. Li, "It's Chang Heng."

"Hurry up and open the door for someone." Mrs. Li carried the silver and walked inside, "I'll put the money away first."
