Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 352 Inner Thief

Wanting to come to Guan Wen, he also thought of this, and an angry expression appeared on his face.Li Xin asked him, "Then you came back not long after you left here..."

"There is no one in the old house, father and sixth brother don't know where they are."

Guan Wenchang let out a sigh of relief, "The fourth brother said that the matter of exporting honey has been negotiated. He gave the money and he also gave the honey to others. The money he received was originally intended to be kept in the house until tomorrow. We, after thinking about it, were worried about leaving it in the big lala, so we wanted to move it and put it in the place where he hid his money..."

"As a result, when I opened the place where he hid the money, the money hidden before was gone?"

Guan Wen nodded silently, and said, "The fourth brother gave me the money for the honey, and I put it in the small box above, you order some."

Guan Wen stroked his forehead: "There are only a few people in the old house. If it is said that a thief stole it, the fourth brother would not believe it. The old house does not look rich, and no one will steal them. "

Li Xin reached out to remove the box from the crossbar inside the bed, opened the box and counted the amount of money in the money bag, and felt that the amount was quite regular, and that Guan Si's work really reassured her.

"Then what should we do now?" Li Xin closed the box and put it back, sat on the bed and asked him, "What's your plan?" Now, how much money did the fourth brother hide? Did it all get stolen?"

Guan Wen nodded, and said, "I don't know how much money there is, but at least ten taels should be enough."

"It wasn't stolen by a thief, so it can only be 'taken' by your father or your sixth brother." It sounds nice to say "take", "I can only wait for your father and sixth brother to come back and ask them if they took it." .”

Guan Wen closed his eyes, looking irritable.Who would be willing to reason with such a thing...

In the early morning of the next day, Li Xin had dinner with her elder brother and third younger brother, while Guan Wen kept looking in the direction of the old house in disbelief.Li Dalang saw him absent-minded frequently and couldn't help saying: "Brother Wen, if you have something to do, go to work."

"It's okay." Guan Wen forced a smile, "It's rare for you to come here."

Li Dalang gave Li Xin a wink, and Li Xin pursed his lips and said, "You should go and have a look, I'll greet the eldest brother and the third younger brother. After all, I will let them go after lunch."

After taking a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, Guan Wen took a sip of porridge and said, "Then I'll go and have a look, and I'll be back in a while."

"Brother Wen, let's go." Li Dalang smiled and let him go, Li Ming also nodded and said: "Brother-in-law, go and do your work."

After Guan Wen left, Li Xin and A-mei cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and asked Li Sanlang to take Yang Er to teach him how to write.Yang'er liked to study with Li Sanlang the most, so he immediately dragged Li Sanlang to the small study in the attic.

This is the first time for Li Ming to come here. Seeing the loft arranged by his sister, he likes it very much, and he has an idea in his heart. If the house is really built at home, he must ask his sister who made the loft. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and there is a fireplace. I must invite the master to compare it.

But here, Li Dalang avoided his sister and frowned and asked Li Xin: "Is there still so much going on with the Guan family?"

"If some people don't stop, there will be more things?" Li Xin twitched the corners of his mouth, wiped the table and said, "Brother, don't worry too much. After all, I have nothing to do. I don't care about the things in the old house." It will be taken care of easily."

"You can handle it yourself." Li Dalang paused and said, "The family is separated after all."

Li Xin nodded: "I know."

"Brother Wen is concerned about his father and other brothers' affairs, so don't be unhappy." Li Dalang frowned and said, "It's a relative after all, and the tendons are still connected when the bones are broken. It's not easy to break the bloodline. That matter is because your father-in-law did too much, so forget it if you ignore him in the future, but don’t let Brother Wen have any conflicts with him.” Li Dalang sighed: “If you can’t provoke him, you can hide him, just ignore him A lot is good."

"Brother I know." Li Xin smiled and said, "Sister-in-law told you to tell me, right?"

"Nonsense." Li Dalang twitched the corner of his mouth: "Brother can't tell you the truth about being a daughter-in-law?"

"You also said it wasn't taught by my sister-in-law. Brother, how can you say the truth about being a daughter-in-law." Li Xin said happily: "I am living well, don't worry about you and sister-in-law, I have a sense of proportion in everything, what can be controlled and what can't I know what to do. I don’t want to take care of what I don’t need to do. Unless it’s offending me, I won’t have any dealings with Guan Wen’s father. But as if I can’t see him, out of sight and out of mind, I can still do it.”

Li Xin paused, and said: "Besides, now that Ah Wen has learned his lesson, he won't take care of his father's affairs. This time it was his fourth brother who had an accident. As the eldest brother, he has to give his brother Get ahead. He's used to it, and if he can't change it, it's up to him, as long as he can tell right from wrong, right from wrong."

Li Dalang reached out and patted Li Xin on the shoulder, smiled and said: "People say that life is lived by oneself, which is really good."

Li Xin smiled and lowered his head, cleared the table in twos and twos, and asked Li Dalang to help move Lao Guan's rocking chair out, and helped Lao Guan to sit on the rocking chair.

"My in-laws and grandpa are getting old, and you still have to take care of them in the future." Li Dalang didn't know how the old juncture became like this, he only thought that he was like Li Yueshi, and his brain was not so clear when he was old. .

Naturally, Li Xin wouldn't say much, could it be possible to tell his brother that the old juncture was made so angry by his children and grandchildren?
"It's better to take care of grandpa. Grandpa treats me well. If he is like this now, Ah Wen and I will naturally not leave him alone." Li Xin sighed, but said with a smile: "The medicine is still there every other day. Eating, look at grandpa's spirit is not bad, maybe one day grandpa's illness will be cured again? You can't lose hope in life."

"Yeah, life is made by people, so you have to think about it."

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other and smiled, A-mei tidied up the stove and came out, called Brother Li shyly, and whispered to Li Xin, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to play with Sister Shaoyao."

Gu Haitang, Gu Shaoyao, and Gu Mudan are the three flowers of the Gu family.Gu Haitang used to be a servant girl in the Shen family, and achieved the position of a second-class maid. Later, she received the grace of the master to match her with someone to marry her. Now she is the daughter-in-law in charge of the Shen family, and continues to work with her man. The Shen family works.

Gu Shaoyao and Gu Mudan made friends with Amei. Gu Shaoyao was about to get married, and Amei often went to Gu's house during this time.A-mei is willing to communicate with others, and it seems that she has become much more lively. Li Xin is naturally happy to see it.

"Go." Li Xin said with a smile: "Talk to your Sister Shaoyao more, she is a newlywed mother, there must be some drums in her heart, you go and talk to her, and let her go, so as not to When she is about to get married, she still can't make up her mind. Aren't you good sisters, it's always good to talk to her more. "

A-mei nodded, went back to the house, took the sewing basket, said hello to Li Xin, and went downhill.Walking halfway, he turned back and said, "Sister-in-law, the matter of elder brother going to father's side..."

"Don't worry about it, just go about your business." Li Xin smiled and said, "If anything happens, my sister-in-law will tell you. Come back early for lunch."

"Ah."

A-mei went downhill, Li Dalang looked at the slope and said: "My sister-in-law is engaged."

"I've booked. The man is a scholar in the town." Li Xin smiled and said, "Ah Wen and I both think it's suitable. The family has a simple population, and we know each other ourselves. We can trust their character and deeds. My sister is shy. , is a filial and sensible child, and life should not be difficult in the future."

Li Dalang nodded, but sighed again: "Talking about the marriage of brothers and sisters reminds me of Tie Wazi."

"Cousin Tie from Uncle's family?" Li Xin raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

"He is going to be eighteen this year, and my aunt is trying to make an engagement for him." Li Dalang scraped the ground with a piece of bamboo, and said leisurely: "But you also know that Cousin Tie is like that, and it sounds nice. It’s weak, to put it bluntly, it’s just that he can’t hold a few hands, he can’t lift his shoulders or lift his hands, he is worse than a woman, which girl thinks highly of him? If he is a scholar, that’s all right, weak is justified, but He didn't read and didn't know a single word, and his body was so weak that he couldn't farm the fields, so he gave birth to a boy in vain, and the first two elder brothers were not good characters, so it's difficult to say goodbye to him."

"That's something that my aunt is worried about, brother, what are you worrying about?" Li Xin smiled and said, "Uncle and auntie will not let Cousin Tie be a bachelor."

"That's how it is said..." Li Dalang paused: "The other day my aunt asked if your sister-in-law was not engaged, but my mother stopped her with a few words."

Li Xin raised his eyebrows immediately.

Li Dalang spread his hands helplessly and said: "If it wasn't for my aunt who couldn't find her, how could she have made all her thoughts on our relatives?"

Li Xin raised the corners of her lips: "A-mei is engaged, but A-Xiu is not. But if it's A-Xiu, I'm afraid my aunt might not be able to afford it."

Li Dalang looked at her puzzled, and Li Xin said: "Axiu's temperament, you don't know, brother, if Axiu really becomes a member of their family, but if there is anything that Axiu can't see, I'm afraid the uncle's family will not accept it." You will be disturbed. The first thing you can't see is Brother Tong, don't think about living a peaceful life in the uncle's family."

Li Dalang was thoughtful, Li Xin smiled and said: "Let's not talk about this, since mother has blocked uncle mother back, this is considered a matter of no shadow."

Li Dalang also laughed: "I just want to tell you something about my family recently."

Near noon, A-mei came back, and after a while Guan Wen also came back, his face was a little bruised, it looked like he was beaten, and his face was very ugly.

Li Xin made a special trip to call Guan Wu and Xing'er to have lunch together. It happened that Guan Wu and Xing'er came here with Xiaokang. Guan Wen.

His face was as sinking as water, and the veins on the back of his hand pinching the side collar of his shirt stood out.

Guan Wu immediately stepped forward and asked, "Brother, what's the matter with you? What happened to your face? Who beat you!"

Li Xin was also taken aback for a moment, and hurried over.

Guan Wen covered half of his face that was beaten, but remained silent.
