22 Shame
Seeing Song Zhaodi coming out of the east room, Dongbao didn't take it seriously, and walked straight to the gate of the courtyard. Quanzi came to tell her that he must have boiled wild eggs, and waited for her to eat eggs.

"Hey, Dongbao." Song Zhaodi stopped her, with an awkward smile on his face, "Where are you going?"

After all, she is just a 12-year-old girl, without so much scheming, all the emotions in her heart are written on her face, even if she talks to Dong Bao with a smile, her eyes are impatient and contemptuous.

Dong Bao was very surprised, Quanzi ran home after delivering the message, and could only say to Song Zhaodi, "I'm going out to play."

"Where are you going to play? My sister will go with you." Song Zhaodi walked up to Dong Bao and took Dong Bao's arm.

In such an instant, goosebumps arose on Dong Bao's body, and she hurriedly dodged Song Zhaodi's extended hand. She couldn't believe that Quanzi just said so loudly at the door, and Song Zhaodi didn't hear it.Dong Bao said: "Quanzi asked me to go to his house to play." They didn't call you.

"Then I'll go with you." Song Zhaodi smiled, and when she smiled, her long face seemed longer.

Of course Dong Bao can't let her go with her, this girl is interested in Lin Shi, brother Da Shi takes care of her so much, how can she take Song Zhaodi to hang around in front of Lin Shi, isn't that a scam!Besides, there are only three wild eggs, how will Song Zhaodi divide them when she goes, if she doesn't share them, she will have to make trouble, Aunt Qiuxia is a good person, she must use the eggs laid by her own chickens to cook another one, and they can't let them spend money.

"Next time, Quan Zi didn't call you this time." Dong Bao said.

"What's the problem?" Song Zhaodi tried to be patient, "They're all neighbors, so why don't I go to his house to play?"

Dong Bao waved his hands away, nodded and said, "That's right, sister, you can go." Then he walked back.

Song Zhaodi was dumbfounded, "Why, why don't you go?"

"No!" Dong Bao stepped into the east room and closed the door directly.

Song Zhaodi stomped in the yard angrily, pointing at Dongwu with trembling fingers, "You damn girl, just wait! See if I don't screw your mouth!"

They didn't call her, she was already a big girl, it's okay to go with Dongbao, she can't do it by herself, isn't it just to spread gossip in the village!
There was still no movement in the east room, Song Zhaodi cursed a few words, and could only return to the west wing with her head down. She had the cheek to ask Dong Bao to take her to the Lin's house, but he didn't take her with her at all, and felt her face was hot. , very embarrassing.

Second Aunt Song heard it clearly from outside, and when Song Zhaodi came in, she clamped her ears, twisted hard, and cursed: "You useless thing! You can't even play Dongbao's girl movie! Raising you so big!"

Song Zhaodi felt ashamed and annoyed at first, and her own mother didn't want to comfort her, but she still scolded her like this, thinking she was useless, tears immediately fell down, and shouted: "You beat me to death! I'll save you embarrassment !"

Although she looks down on Dong Bao and Li Shi, she sometimes envies Dong Bao very much. Dong Bao is a talented girl who looks better than her. The most important thing is that Li Shi loves Dong Bao and has never beaten Dong Bao. Dong Bao came back from the city without earning any money, never scolded her, and protected her no matter what.

Second Aunt Song was furious, covered Song Zhaodi's mouth, and scolded, "What's your name! I'm useless and still yelling nonsense, I wish the whole village knew about it?"

Song Zhaodi glared at Second Aunt Song resentfully, sat aside choking and sulking, her parents only had eyes for big bastards, she had no complaints in her heart, but it was useless for her to resent, she could only try her best to please her parents, herself Life can be better too.

Second Uncle Song basically didn't care about Second Aunt Song's disciplining Song Zhaodi. He was annoyed by Song Zhaodi's sobs at the moment, so he slammed himself off the bed and shouted, "Hold it!"

The high-pitched and fierce cursing made Song Zhaodi tremble in fright, holding her breath in her throat, and did not dare to cry loudly, she was out of breath and took a long time to recover, her face flushed red .Seeing that she was useless, Second Aunt Song didn't bother to talk to her anymore, and instead talked to Second Uncle Song about the family affairs.

"Brother has been taking money from home all these years, look at the situation of that house." Second Aunt Song pointed to the east room opposite, "It doesn't seem like you have a private house, and you don't need to buy food for the family. Hey There are pigs and chickens, why can’t Mother even come up with the money for the elder brother’s funeral?”

She very much suspected that Mrs. Huang actually had money, but she kept it hidden and refused to take it out, preferring to lend the money to the boss for funeral affairs.

Uncle Song turned sullenly, and turned his mouth towards the direction of the town, "The old woman hides money in her hand, and she didn't keep it for the third child, for fear that the third child will be short of money and not concentrate on studying."

Aunt Song's conjecture was approved by her husband, and her face turned ugly, "This can't be like this, let alone a bowl of water is flat, and you can't be biased like this! We have two sons. In the future Marrying a daughter-in-law and building a house doesn’t cost money? Why should the money be left to the third child? I won’t do it! Forget about dividing the family. It's time for Dongbao to return it to my sister-in-law, and we can't continue to pay for the third child, just look at the elder brother and you'll know, how many of them can be successful in studying?"

Second Aunt Song spoke froth, filled with righteous indignation, and divided the family neatly, completely disregarding the money in Huang's hands, which was earned by Song Xiucai.

"What kind of family do you want to divide?" Uncle Song snorted, "The third child has not yet married, even if the family is divided, the old man and the old lady will follow us. At most, we will divide Dongbao and sister-in-law. They don't even have land. Orphans and widows have nothing to pay off their debts." People who borrow money from our family will not be willing." There is another point that he didn't say, the sister-in-law is capable, a woman can be a strong laborer, and no one will share the work in the field, so he has to leave. It's hard work, it's him who suffers.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, Second Aunt Song and Second Uncle Song sat on the bed with their backs to their backs hugging their stomachs and sulked, feeling increasingly displeased with their family members.

After Song Zhaodi entered the house, Dong Bao came out from the east room, and walked briskly to Lin Shi's house.

She can understand Song Zhaodi's thoughts. At the age of first love, there is an excellent young man next to her. It's hard not to be tempted.

Quanzi stood at the gate to welcome her, dragged her into the main room of the Lin family, and complained in a low voice, "Sister Dongbao, why did you come here?"

Aunt Qiuxia and Lin Shi were both sitting in the main room. On the table in the main room was a porcelain bowl filled with water and three white eggs.

After the eggs are boiled, put them in cold water to peel off the eggshells.

"It's ready, I'll wait for you to come over." Aunt Qiuxia said with a smile.

Dong Bao smiled and said to Aunt Qiuxia, "Thank you, Auntie." After thinking about it, he felt that he had to remind the Lin family, so he said to Quanzi, "I came out when you called me, but Miss Zhaodi I had to bring her here, but I thought the eggs were not enough, so I didn't bring her here, and Sister Zhaodi gave birth to me, so I was very angry."

The smile on Aunt Qiuxia's face became much less. She glanced at Lin Shi, nodded and smiled and said, "Next time there are too many boiled eggs, let her come over." Next time?No way!She's a 12-year-old girl, she's about to get married, don't even think about entering her house, and don't even think about Xiao Xiao's son!

Seeing that Aunt Qiuxia understood what she meant, Dongbao took the eggs and went back, saying that he would share the eggs with his mother, and Aunt Qiuxia praised her for a while.Lin Shi saw that Dong Bao's face was blushed by his mother's praise, and he watched with a smile on the side, saying that Dong Bao had become bolder after returning. He felt that this little girl was still the same as before, very shy and thin-skinned.

After returning to the east room where she lived with Li Shi, Dong Bao peeled the skin and shared it with Li Shi, and showed Li the snake slough hidden under the bed at noon. Dong Bao said it could be sold for money. , Mrs. Li was very surprised and doubtful. She had seen many of them in the fields in the past years, and she never knew that this thing could be exchanged for money.

Li Shi carefully hid the egg shells peeled off by the two in his sleeves, and secretly threw them into the river when he was working in the field in the afternoon. When he met several people, they all praised her for being a talented girl. Pulled back from the gate of hell, she was surprised and happy, so she could only nod in response.

After dinner, Second Uncle Song couldn't sit still after returning to the west wing room, and went to the main room to look for Mrs. Huang. After talking for a long time, he asked how the family owed foreign debts and how to live in the future.

Sitting there, Mrs. Huang lit the oil lamp for the first time, and the bean-sized dim light could only illuminate a small part of the space around Mrs. Huang. Your elder brother is different. I see that he is very promising. He will leave the examination room next year. At this juncture, you can’t distract him. If you want to confess, just confess. It’s a bit hard right now, wait for the third one to take the exam If you are selected as a scholar, then you will be admitted as a Jinshi, and you will become an official and master in the future, you as a brother, you will also enjoy the blessings, you will be fine after a while."

Song's second child is her son, and Huang's attitude is very good. If her daughter-in-law dares to ask such a question, Huang will definitely scold him bloody.

What Huang said was light and bright, and the future was bright, but the second son Song was so angry that the eldest was so good at reading at the beginning, but he was only a scholar after so many years of examinations, and he still offered the exam for the third?All the money in the family is left to the third child, what should he do?In a few years, Da Mao wants to talk about kissing, who is willing to marry a girl?

"Mother, you said it so lightly, what should I do now, what should I do if someone comes to ask for debts? You don't want to sell Dong Bao, a girl's film, is it really a treasure? What about Da Mao and Er Mao? That's your grandson!" Second Uncle Song called road.

Mrs. Li, who had finished working in the kitchen, came out, and heard Uncle Song's cry in the main room, and went back to the east room in silence.At night, Mrs. Li listened to the sound of her daughter's steady breathing after falling asleep, and she was so worried that she couldn't sleep. The foreign debt of a few taels of silver weighed on her heart like a mountain, and she couldn't breathe under the pressure. She was so angry that her spirit was about to collapse. She was a country woman who only knew how to scrape dirt, and even if she sold it by catty, it would not be enough to pay off the foreign debt.

"Mother, why aren't you sleeping?" Dong Bao was awakened by Li's tossing and sighing voice, rubbing his eyes and asking.

Mrs. Li didn't expect to wake up her daughter, and quickly said: "Sleep, sleep right away."

Dong Bao hugged Li Shi's arm and said, "Mom, let's go to the town and have a look." Maybe he can find a way to make money, and it's best to earn enough money to owe the scholar's father for his funeral. Only by repaying the money can he hope to take Li's family away from the Song family.
