Chapter 55 Denial
In the big room of the old Chen family, Mrs. Du was worried all night. Thinking about what the villagers were talking about today, she pushed the old man Chen who was sleeping soundly.

"Hey, tell me, Li Zhong hasn't come back so late. Could it be that he really stole things from the village and went gambling, right?"

"Why are you up all night worrying about these things? Didn't that brat not come back at night and went to gamble? Really, why don't you have a long memory? You even went out to gamble. Our family only has this little wealth. , don’t give him the spotlight.”

"What can I do? If I dare to say anything about your son, your mother will scold me to death. Let's do it now. If he gets this gambling problem, I think our family will really have to give it all to him in the future. It’s completely blocked.”

"Why are you crying? It's unlucky to celebrate the Chinese New Year. If you cry again, I'll beat you to death. It's not like he didn't make any money. When he comes back this time, I'll teach him a lesson and tell him not to touch him again. This is it.”

The money that Boss Chen was talking about was this afternoon. Chen Lizhong suddenly took a few strings of copper coins, about one or two silver coins, and gave them to his grandma, saying that he earned them from gambling. Before his parents came back, after dinner, he She went out in a big way, and Mrs. Chen didn't stop her.

"Now that I think about it, I don't know where it came from. He was so lucky and made so much money in one go. I, a mother, didn't even get it. Instead, I paid tribute to his grandma. ." Du Shi complained.

"Okay, okay, if you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow. I'm so sleepy, please stop making noise." As soon as she finished speaking, Du Shi could already hear snoring.

"What a pig. He fell asleep so quickly and didn't even care about his son." After Du Shi finished speaking, she turned around and sulked alone.

"Sister, do you think my eldest brother stole it? I see that several people in the village who played well with me ignore me and roll their eyes." Chen Xiyue and her sister Chen Xique were sleeping on the bed, thinking about the looks of their companions today. She couldn't help but feel guilty.

"How do I know? It's really annoying. Can't you save some trouble? I'm looking at each other. It would be really embarrassing if something happened." Chen Xique said very unhappy.

Today, her mother took her to see the family in the next village. She heard that his family only had one son, and he had five sisters. From now on, he would own the fifty acres of land in the family. Thinking of this, she felt a little shy. .

Although she also wanted to live in the county town like Chen Xichun, there was no one to introduce her. She couldn't go to the city to look for him. That would be too rude. If she could be her own family, she could live happily on fifty acres of land.

Thinking of this, her extremely irritable mood eased, and she thought about her future days.

After an uneventful night, Xichun woke up and stayed in bed to keep warm, so there was no need to light a fire.

Aunt Zhang also went home. Although she didn't have to go back to her parents' house today, she still had to go to Qiangzi's uncle's house to help.

Taozi was playing with his friends in the village. They all envied Taozi for being able to live in the city. Taozi also satisfied everyone's curiosity and told everyone what he had seen and heard in the city.

"Taozi, help me look after the house while I go out for a walk." Xichun was carrying a basket filled with fragrant wax paper candles. Today she was going to pay New Year's greetings to her father. During the Chinese New Year, they also had to go up the mountain to offer sacrifices to their relatives. bye.

"Sister Xichun, go quickly, we'll watch here and make sure the thief can't get in." Taozi said with a smile, leaning on his friend.

After Xichun left, everyone looked at the direction she left in awe and envy.

"Tell me, is Sister Xichun really as powerful as the adults say?"

"Of course, you don't know that when we just returned to the city, we heard someone saying that there were robbers in the city. I even passed one of them..." Taozi continued to talk about the things in the city excitedly. Condition.Xichun was putting things away and preparing to go home after the candles were burned out, when he saw the old Chen family also going up the mountain, but Chen Lizhong was not among them.

"Huh, heartless things!" Xichun ignored them and was still looking at the surrounding scenery. When she heard these embarrassing words, she turned around and found that it was Ma who was talking about her.

"I know whether I have a conscience or not, and everyone in the village knows it, but I don't know if some people know it themselves." Xichun didn't worry about her and went back directly.

"When you see your uncle and aunt, you don't even say a word, and you still look condescending. You show that face to no one, as if you are afraid that we will take advantage of you. Damn, there are just a few filthy rich people in this city." Isn’t it also a joke, but those people spend money with a shameful face?”

"I don't have any knowledge, so I just say that others are making fun of me. I don't know if it's because I'm ignorant or because I make money this way. I don't have any uncles or aunties now, and I don't have any uncles or aunties. If you want to be weird, you should find someone else."

"Girl Xichun, how can you talk to your aunt like this? She is doing it for your own good." Chen Laosan frowned and said unhappily.

"It's your business if you wish. I don't want anyone to bully me in the name of doing good for me. We are two families. Please have a clear understanding of yourselves and don't get into trouble with me."

"You girl, you have a sharp tongue. Just wait. I'll see what kind of good husband you can find, a girl who can restrain her father. Aren't those people just flattering you because they can make money with you? Wait. You can't make any money, just look at what others say about you!" When Du heard what she said, she wanted to hit her, but when she saw the sharp sickle in her hand, she could only turn her actions into complaints.

"This is my business, I don't need to worry about you." Xichun also saw her intention and didn't want to talk to her anymore.

"Mom, why are you telling her this? Let's go back quickly. This road is very difficult." Chen Xique said impatiently.

"You girl, how can you act like a city girl? You will have to work in the fields in the future. Don't make this happen." After hearing her eldest daughter's complaint, Mrs. Du whispered.

"Pfft!
When Xichun heard this, he also looked at Chen Xique. She looked very coquettish, like a girl from a wealthy family in the city.

Others also heard it, but now they couldn't afford to offend her, so they pretended not to hear it.

The Chen family didn't care whether the candles were burned out, and turned around to leave. Xichun followed them home.

Just as they arrived at the intersection, they heard noises. Someone saw the old Chen family and immediately pointed at them and said, "Their family is here. Your Chen Lizhong was caught. He stole something and still has to argue. You go and have a look quickly.”

"What, how could my Li Zhong steal something? You must have wronged him. Let's go and have a look." When Du heard this, her first reaction was to deny it quickly, and asked Boss Chen to leave quickly to see what it was. Condition.

When Chen Xique heard this, she saw that her parents were running away, so she lowered her head and left in the direction of home, for fear that she would be embarrassed if she went.

Xichun also heard these words, but she went home first. At this time, [-]% of the people in the village were together, so no one could take advantage of her.
