Tan Deyin and Yang Shi surrounded him, and Tan Decai strode closer.

Tan Dejin held Liulang in his arms, and Liulang was wrapped tightly, only showing his closed eyes.

This is Qiduo specially asked Liulang to pretend.

"Uncle and aunt, how is Liulang?" Yang's face was full of concern.

Mrs. Xu shook her head and walked towards the moon without answering.

Tan Deyin asked Tan Dejin, "Brother, where did you get the 200 taels of silver?"

Tan Dejin stopped, looked closely at Tan Deyin, and replied coldly, "Master Shen knew Dr. Ge from Fenglintang, and he guarantored us, and he will return it later."

"As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and in our Tan family, close relatives are not as good as distant neighbors, hum." Mrs. Xu squinted at Tan Deyin and his wife, and said mockingly.

Tan Deyin and Yang's expressions turned pale.

Yang said in a low voice, "Auntie, look at what you said. We are not as respectable as Mr. Shen, and we don't have a lot of money. There is nothing we can do to help."

Mrs. Xu snorted coldly from her nose, ignored it, and walked home with Qiduo.

When Qiduo's family entered the Moon Gate, Tan Deyin and Yang Shi went to the upper room, but Mr. Tan was not there, only Zhao Shi.

"Mother, mother, uncle and aunt, they brought Liulang back." As soon as he entered the upper room, Yang hurriedly said in a low voice.

"I heard, how is Liulang now?" Mrs. Zhao also lowered her voice and asked.

Yang curled her lips and shook her head, "Who knows, anyway, the eyes are still closed, and they don't seem to be improving."

Mrs. Zhao curled her lips with some sarcasm, "Sure enough, this family is still scoring points. This time they will save some money and bring Liulang back. If there is no separation, they will want to drink me and your father." blood, who knows how much money it will cost in the end.”

"However, the 200 taels of silver is enough for the eldest brother and the others to earn." Tan Deyin shook his head, his words seemed to be concerned, but his expression was gleeful.

"Then we can't help it. Whether it's a blessing or a curse depends on their blessings. But it's hard to say. When Erxia marries into the Lin family, she might be able to please Master Lin. It won't matter if the Lin family repays the 200 taels of silver for them." Definitely. The Lin family has a lot of money, so they don't care about 200 taels." Mrs. Zhao said it very easily.

Please?
Yang glanced at Tan Deyin, the corners of her mouth slanted upwards, with a sneer.

Tan Deyin gave her a light look, and then agreed with Zhao Shi, "That's also possible."

"By the way, what did Mrs. Liu say?" Mrs. Zhao changed the subject, which is what she is more concerned about right now.

"She agreed, bring things here tomorrow to hire, mother, you just wait to receive the land deed." Yang clasped Zhao's shoulders lightly with both hands, and replied happily.

Mrs. Zhao grinned happily.

Liuju and Erxia saw Qiduo and Tan Dejin couple appearing in the yard, and trotted to meet them.

"Mother, is Liu Lang okay?" Liu Ju and Er Xia asked in unison.

The two of them didn't know the real cause of Liulang's illness, and they held it tightly with one heart.

"Go into the room and talk." Xu whispered.

Liuju and Erxia nodded.

The family went back to the house and locked the door. Tan Dejin took off Liulang's clothes, opened his eyes and smiled at everyone.

Erxia and Liuju smiled in surprise, "Liulang is ready."

"Well, well, Wen Engong's medical skills are superb. He used ginseng to wake up Liu Lang, but it scared us to death." Xu said warmly.

The less people know about Liu Lang's false illness, the better.

"We were dying of anxiety at home too, and now we are finally relieved. But, mother, are you happy that the family is really separated?" Liuju patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief, then took Xu's hand and shook it excitedly.

Xu smiled and nodded, "Happy."

Qiduo made a silent gesture, "Let's not look happy for the time being, it will make people suspicious, don't forget, we still owe Fenglintang 200 taels of silver, how can we be happy .”

"Yo, yes." Liuju lightly stuck out her tongue and made a grimace.

The laughter in the room stopped immediately.

"Father, let's go and weigh the food, as well as flour, bacon, salted fish, and chicken. Our family has all these things." Qiduo said to Tan Dejin.

Tan Dejin nodded, "I know, I'll tidy up the room first, otherwise there's nowhere to put things."

"Let's help." Qiduo, Liuju and Erxia all stood up.

There are three rooms in Qiduo's house, and Liulang's room has been vacant all the time. For the time being, it will be packed out to store food, and it will be moved there after the upside-down seat is covered.

There are only some simple sundries in Liulang's house, and they are quickly cleaned up.

Tan Dejin and Xu took Qiduo and Liuju to the room to distribute food.

Hearing that the food was going to be distributed, Mrs. Zhao looked very unsightly, and said some ugly words, but Mrs. Xu stopped them all.

Mrs. Zhao was so angry, but the food was agreed a long time ago, and she had to give it if she didn't give it, so she took the key to open the warehouse, and asked Tan Deyin and Tan Decai to take Erlang, Sanlang, and Shilang to help weigh it.

To the south of Tan's house, there are three upside-down granaries specially built for storing rice. Last year was a good year and the rice harvest was bumper. The [-]-mu field harvested about [-] catties of rice in two seasons, and now there are probably nearly [-] catties left.

But Mrs. Zhao only opened the door of one warehouse, pointed to the inside and said, "There are only these rice left, you can see how to share."

Tan Dejin frowned, and asked, "Mom, is this the only rice in our family?"

"Only these." Zhao replied affirmatively.

"But I remember that there are still two granaries. You can open that one and let me have a look." Tan Dejin's complexion sank, and he pointed to the granary next door.

Mrs. Zhao immediately jumped up and scolded, as if the meat had been cut, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Do you still suspect that I can't tell lies? Last year, I only harvested that little rice, and dozens of mouths are open every day. Waiting to eat, see if this rice is there every day, where there are two warehouses, you can change one warehouse for me.

There are only these, if you want to call it, if you don’t want it, then don’t call it, I don’t have time to serve you. "

Anyway, the family has been separated, and now she is no longer afraid of what Qiduo will say in front of Patriarch Tan.

"Mother, I'm not talking nonsense, I'm telling the truth. Three days ago, I picked rice from the warehouse next door to grind the rice. How could I lose my time in the blink of an eye. If you don't want to share it with us, mother, just tell me the truth." , don't lie to me, I'm not a coward." Tan Dejin refused to give in.

Qiduo had nothing to say about Zhao's shamelessness, thought for a while, turned around and ran out of Tan's house.

Now I have to call Patriarch Tan and Mr. Tan over, otherwise, according to the Zhao family, she will definitely not open other positions.

She didn't take a few steps, just in time to see Mr. Tan walking towards him with his hands behind his back and his head bowed.

It's just that I haven't seen him for half a day. Mr. Tan seems to be a little old, with a stooped back. I don't know if he is affected by the separation of the family.

"Grandpa." Qiduo stepped forward and called.

"Ah, oh, Qiduo, you are back, how is Liulang?" Mr. Tan looked at Qiduo, and he was stunned for a while before speaking, as if he didn't recognize her at first sight.

"Liulang is awake, but the doctor said he has to rest. If he doesn't eat ginseng, he may commit the crime again." Qiduo kicked a small stone on the ground, pouted and said in a very sad tone.

Mr. Tan stroked her hair lightly, heaved a long sigh, and comforted her, "Don't worry, Liu Lang will be fine, where are you going?"

"Oh, my father went to weigh the grain, and grandma said that there was only one warehouse left at home, and she wanted to share half of it with us. I want to go to the patriarch's grandpa, and I will live on these grains in the future. Don’t starve to death.” Qiduo said pitifully.

Grandpa Tan gritted his teeth secretly, and waved his hand at Qiduo, "Go, go home, you don't need to find the patriarch, Grandpa is here."

With that said, he walked quickly to the yard first.

Qiduo secretly made a gesture of victory.

With the current situation of her family, she doesn't care about the rice at all, but what Zhao's actions are so chilling, she can't help but compete with Zhao, to see whether you are shameless or I am better.

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhao were arguing, and Mrs. Zhao threw harsh words at Mrs. Xu one after another.

"Old woman, shut up." Mr. Tan let out a thunderous rage, making Mrs. Zhao's mean mouth close.

Xu was trembling with anger.

Fortunately, Liu Lang's story is false, if it is true, if Qiduo didn't think of ways to earn that money in private, how would he live in the future.

She didn't dare to think about it, the more she thought about it, the colder her body became.

Under the comfort of Liuju and Qiduo, Xu's mood gradually calmed down.

After Mr. Tan came forward, the Zhao family was forced to open another warehouse and distributed the food to Qiduo's family on a per capita basis, with more than 2000 catties.

In addition to rice, there were also [-] catties of wheat, [-] catties of soybeans, [-] catties of mung beans and [-] catties of red beans, as well as some small things like sesame and peanuts, and two fat hens.

While weighing things, Tan Debao entered the yard, but it was a little strange that he didn't pick up the burden of the shopkeeper, his face was full of dust, and he didn't know where he went.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Tan Debao asked, pointing at the rice and soybeans all over the yard.

"Fourth Uncle, we separated." Qi Duo replied.

"Separation? What's going on?" Tan Debao asked in surprise, why didn't he hear any letter beforehand.

Qiduo looked at Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Tan, pursed her lips, and didn't answer.

Although she didn't speak, her expression clearly indicated that there was a problem with the division of the family. Tan Debao stepped forward and grabbed Tan Dejin's arm, gritted his teeth and asked, "Brother, tell me what's going on?"

"Fourth, don't ask." Tan Dejin shook his head, this was something that made him sad, and he didn't want to mention it again.

Mr. Tan and Mrs. Zhao also heard Tan Debao's questioning, and both of them changed their expressions. They knew this son's temperament too well, and if they knew what happened, they might scold him.

Mrs. Zhao came over, and asked Tan Debao with a smile, "fourth brother, why did you come back so early today, hey, why didn't I see you as a shopkeeper?" The smile turned puzzled.

"Mother, are you bullying the elder brother's family again?" Tan Debao asked with a cold face, without answering.

"Look what nonsense you're talking about. Your eldest brother is also my son. Besides, he's not a three-year-old child. How could we bully him?" Zhao stared at Tan Debao with triangular eyes.

"Oh, that's right, if this is the case, then why do you want to separate the eldest brother and his family?" Tan Debao asked again.

The big eyes narrowed, and the scars on his face looked even more distorted.

Tan Debao's every word hit the heart of Mr. Tan, he blushed immediately, and left with his hands behind his back.

He didn't dare to listen to other things, and he didn't have the face to reprimand Tan Debao in front of Tan Dejin for not asking more questions, and he was even more embarrassed to make up the reasons for splitting up in person.

Seeing his father like this, Tan Dejin couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to pull Tan Debao, "Fourth, don't talk, come and help me pick the rice back."

"No, I must know the reason." Tan Debao refused to let go, and shook off Tan Dejin's hand.

His stubborn temper came up, and no one could stop him or persuade him.

"Fourth." Tan Dejin glared at him, then went to pull.

But Tan Debao pushed him away again, and said, "Brother, you know my temper, and I will never give up until this matter is cleared up today."

Faced with Tan Debao's aggressiveness, Zhao was also annoyed.

She pointed at him with her index finger, stomped her foot and cursed, "You bastard, you don't see us as parents at all now. If you want to know the reason, then let me tell you, Liulang's medicine jar is sick again, and it costs a few hundred Two silver to go to the doctor, do you want us to pay the Tan family to see a doctor for him?

Your father and I are getting old, so it doesn’t matter if we go to beg for food and be beggars. If you are willing to beg for food, then we will not divide this family, and sell all the fields and houses in the family to see Liu Lang. "

After cursing, Mrs. Zhao turned her head and went back to the upper room.

Tan Debao clenched his fists, he probably understood what was going on, and was angry from the heart.

"Qiduo, did Liulang fall ill again today, and you asked grandpa and grandma not to give you money, and then they proposed to divide the family?" Tan Debao asked Qiduo instead of Tan Deyin this time.

In his heart, Qiduo dares to speak and act.

Qiduo didn't say it before, because she didn't want to make her father sad again, but now that Mrs. Zhao has admitted it, she can only nod, "It's almost like this."

"Hateful." Tan Debao kicked over a wooden barrel beside his feet, and all the soybeans in it spilled out.

He didn't even look at the soybeans, but just strode toward the room.

"Fourth, what are you doing?" Tan Dejin was in a hurry, and hurried forward to pull him, and called Tan Deyin and Tan Decai, "Second and third, come and hold him."

He knew that if Tan Debao got confused, he would even dare to beat Mr. Tan and Mrs. Zhao.
