Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 26 Shameless Zhao
It's hard not to have a successful son!
Looking at this absurd scene, Zhang Xiaocao found it very ironic. Zhang Baoyin was too lazy to do anything. First he stole the money from the family and went out to fool around. Now he does such a shameful thing. Mrs. Zhao pampered him too much, and she still blamed him for being incompetent and crooked!
"Aren't you worried?"

Just when she was lost in thought, Lin Zhaoyuan asked suspiciously in her ears. Hearing this, she couldn't help but said, "What's the use of worrying? I can't help!"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly realized that he was telling an untenable lie. Not long ago, this guy saw her cut the antlers and whips with his own eyes, and just now the two of them worked together to carry back a wild goat!
Thinking of this, his usually indifferent face suddenly cracked, and under the teasing gaze of a certain guy, he was extremely embarrassed!
Lin Zhaoyuan lowered his head and laughed incessantly. This girl doesn't even blush when she lies. If he didn't know the truth, she would really be fooled by her reason.

Zhang Xiaocao glared at him angrily, and refused to speak again.

It was the first time Lin Zhaoyuan saw such a vivid expression on her usually indifferent face, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Zhang Baozhu originally wanted to drive out all the spectators, but unexpectedly saw an unexpected person, she couldn't help being very pleasantly surprised, and instantly forgot the embarrassing thing that happened at home just now.

Just when she was about to come over, she saw the charming smile on the face of her sweetheart, and she couldn't help being distracted, but the corner of her eyes glanced at the people around him. The scene of "flirting and cursing" made her feel extremely dazzling!

Why is this cheap girl with brother Zhaoyuan? How does she deserve it?
Suppressing her anger and jealousy, Zhang Baozhu stepped forward and looked at Lin Zhaoyuan with a perfect smile on her face: "Why is brother Zhaoyuan standing here? Go sit in the room for a while!"

After finishing speaking, she glanced jealously at Zhang Xiaocao who was silent at the side, seeing that she didn't show any shame or nervous expression, she was furious immediately, but she had to hold back, she couldn't lose her temper in front of brother Zhaoyuan.

She also didn't think about it, she and Lin Zhaoyuan had nothing to do with each other, they were just ordinary folks, why should Zhang Xiaocao be ashamed and nervous!

But Zhang Xiaocao was hit by the word "Brother Zhaoyuan" in her words. Reflexively thinking of the word "Lin Zhaoyuan", she couldn't help but turned her head and asked, "You are Lin Zhaoyuan? Isn't your name Zixi?"

Lin Zhaoyuan raised his eyebrows, nodded and said with a smile, "I have always been called Lin Zhaoyuan, and Zixi is my nickname!"

Only then did Zhang Xiaocao remember that scholars in ancient times would take their Biaozi, and generally those who were familiar with each other would call each other by Biaozi instead of calling them by their first names.

Seeing Zhaoyuan's elder brother smiling at this lowly girl again, Zhang Baozhu went mad with jealousy!
Brother Zhaoyuan has never smiled at her like this before, why should this ugly and stupid little girl, why should she!
Zhang Xiaocao didn't know what was going on in her heart at all, but she felt chills all over her body when she saw her shadowy eyes, and suddenly remembered that Zhang Baozhu seemed to be in love with someone, thinking of this, she couldn't help hiding away.

She was not afraid of Zhang Baozhu, but it was obviously not worth it to offend her for a guy with no hair.

After Lin Zhaoyuan left, and the blind dates in the yard left one after another, Zhang Baozhu's face suddenly darkened, there was no such thing as a flowery smile when facing his sweetheart!

Looking at Zhang Xiaocao who was cleaning the yard, a sternness flashed in his eyes...

In the Zhang family hall, the whole family sat there with different expressions. Apart from Zhang Xiaobao and Zhuang Zhuang, even Zhang Baoyin, who hadn't shown up in the morning, was there, but at this moment, he huddled in a corner, silent.

He was severely scolded by Mrs. Zhao just now, but now he didn't dare to hit the fire at all.

With a bitter face, Zhang Dashan looked at the still angry Zhao family, and asked with difficulty: "Mother, how much money do you have at home...?"

Mrs. Zhao stared, patted the table and said, "Silver, silver, how much silver can there be, not even a fraction of 15 taels of silver! Where can I find silver now!"

Zhang Dashan was drowsy after being drunk by Mrs. Zhao, and said, "What should we do? We don't have enough money, so the Huang family will do what they say, and they will go to the Yamen to sue Erlang!"

How could Mrs. Zhao not know?It's just that the family couldn't afford 15 taels of silver at all. Although she scolded Erlang, he was her beloved son after all, so she couldn't bear to watch him go to prison.

After calming down and thinking about it, she glanced at the silent Liu Shi who lowered her head and said, "I can only borrow it. You don't have any brothers or sisters, so I can only borrow it from my mother's house with my daughter-in-law!"

Although it is simple to say, Mrs. Zhao also knows how difficult it is. 15 taels of silver is not a small amount. Liu's natal family is also average, and it is considered a godsend to be able to borrow five taels of silver. Sanlang wants to study, and after the New Year, he will have to complete his studies. The only three taels of silver in the family must not be touched.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao had a headache, and hated the Huang family to death, thinking that when Mrs. Huang came in, she would definitely give her a good look!
Mrs. Zhao blindly blamed others, but didn't think about it, if it wasn't for her son's incompetence, would such a shameful and expensive thing happen?
When Liu Shi heard what her mother-in-law said, her body trembled, but she didn't dare to say anything.When she went back to her natal family, she would be able to borrow money, but her natal family was also having a hard time. Her mother-in-law would not repay the money she borrowed, and she didn't want her parents to take advantage of her.

Seeing that Liu Shi did not refuse, Mrs. Zhao nodded in satisfaction, and her voice was quite amiable: "You are a sensible person, and my mother doesn't want you to borrow more, just a couple of taels is enough!"

Mrs. Zhao said it nicely, talking about ten taels, eight taels of silver, and the Liu family couldn't get it out. She also knew the situation of the Liu family. By saying this, she was just putting pressure on Mrs. Liu, wanting her to take more silver. It is best for the Liu family to take out all the money.

Mrs. Liu raised her head abruptly, looked at her mother-in-law in disbelief, looked at her sharp face, opened her mouth, but couldn't say any words of rejection, turned her head and looked at her husband expectantly, hoping that he could say something, but Zhang Baojin But he looked at her beggingly and didn't speak at all.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Xiaocao felt that Zhao's selfishness was almost shameless!

She never thought of taking out her own money. According to Zhao's temperament, if she really took it out, she would be suspicious of her and would treat her even more. After so many things, she has already learned to be smart. The entire Zhang family , apart from sister-in-law Liu Shi, Zhuang Zhuang, and the cheap father who has been kind to her recently, the others don't have the slightest affection for her. If that's the case, why should she bump into her?
Although sister-in-law is good to her, and father is not bad to her, but this is not enough for her to give everything without reservation.
