Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 27 Thunderbolt
The family deliberated for a while, and finally decided that Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Liu would go to their natal family to borrow. As for Zhang Dashan and his son, they would go to a better-connected family in the village to see how much they could borrow.

That afternoon, all the adults in the family went out to borrow money, only Zhang Xiaocao and Zhang Baozhu were at home.

It was not evening yet, and saw Mrs. Zhao come back with an angry expression on her face, and when she saw chicken droppings in the yard, she roared again and scolded Zhang Xiaocao for a long time.

Zhang Xiaocao couldn't help guessing that Mrs. Zhao probably didn't get any money when she went back to her natal family this time, otherwise, how could she be so angry!
Mrs. Zhao did not borrow money because she offended her sister-in-law last time. When she went back this time, the sister-in-law used her two sons to discuss marriage as an excuse, and her parents were not allowed to lend her money if she was dying, otherwise she would take the child with her. back home.

In the end, I didn't borrow a dime.

Not long after, Zhang Dashan, Zhang Baojin, and his son also came back, but their faces were not very good-looking. Zhang Dashan handed over the borrowed money to Mrs. Zhao, and went back to the house dejectedly, without saying a word.

Mrs. Zhao didn't bother to ask any more questions, and quickly poured out the heavy money bag. Seeing that it was all copper coins, she counted them and found that there were only more than 900, not even a tael of silver. and so on.

Zhang Dashan was irritated when he heard it in the room, so he couldn't help but said loudly: "It's good if someone is willing to borrow it, what are you doing nonsense? You want to be proud of offending the villagers?"

At this time, Zhang Dashan was somewhat blaming Mrs. Zhao. If she was stingy and stingy, why wouldn't those people dare to lend him money?The folks said a lot of embarrassing things about this woman openly and secretly, and they didn't borrow much money, but they got angry.

Mrs. Zhao grinned, but didn't dare to yell any more, and only scolded those people's ancestors in her heart.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Mrs. Liu came back with the child and handed Mrs. Zhao a dusty purse.

"Mother, my father and mother have also proposed marriage for my eldest brother, and they can't give much. I don't know how much mother borrowed. Is it enough together?"

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she quickly opened the purse and saw a few broken pieces of silver inside, only about two or two taels. Disappointment flashed in her eyes, she curled her lips, and deliberately stabbed Mrs. Liu. Suddenly remembering that I didn't borrow a single copper coin, I couldn't open my mouth to scold immediately, and covered up: "Your grandma has a lot of family members and eats a lot, and your cousins ​​are also going to discuss marriage. Borrow a few!"

Mrs. Liu had the bottom line in her heart, so she didn't ask any more questions. The mother-in-law wants to save face, and as a daughter-in-law, she can only pretend that she doesn't know.

Mrs. Zhao looked at the three taels of money on the table, and was so worried that her forehead ached, so she could only pin her hopes on her second son who hadn't come back yet, thinking in her heart that her son had made many friends outside, so she might borrow all of them. .

Comforting himself, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and stared at the door eagerly.

At this time, the second son on which the Zhao family placed high hopes was inviting a few friends to sit in a simple tavern, talking nonsense from all over the world, and when the time was almost up, Zhang Baoyin said with a mournful face: "Oh, from now on, our brother It’s hard for a few of you to get together today, have such a happy meal and chat!"

One of them, Hu San'er, patted him on the shoulder, with a wretched smile on his face, and asked in a sly way: "Brother Baoyin, what's the matter? Could it be that he is going to marry a wife? Don't care if you can't get out? You are too mean, why don't you bring a daughter-in-law and show it to our brothers!"

Hearing the words, Zhang Baoyin cursed secretly, if I bring that little widow here, why don't you pick it up like a fly seeing blood?
Thinking this way in my heart, but with a mournful face, I told the story back and forth, and finally shed a few tears hypocritically and said: "Brothers also know what's going on in my family, let alone 15 taels of silver, even five taels of silver can't get it Come out, if you can't get the money, the Huang family will never give up, if you brothers want to see me again, they will have to go to the county government prison!"

At the end of the talk, he hugged Hu San'er and wailed loudly, how pitiful he looked!
Hu San'er and the others looked at each other, and immediately understood why Zhang Baoyin invited them out for a drink today.

It's just that no one said that, they are still supported by their parents at home, how can they have spare money to lend him?Besides, they are friends with wine and meat, eating meat and drinking alcohol is okay, but forgetting to borrow money!

However, it is still done.

"Hey, brother, don't cry! Let's sit down and see if we can come up with a good idea!"

Hu San'er took Zhang Baoyin to sit down, and then said: "As long as I have money on hand, I will not help my brother when he is in trouble, but you also know that I still rely on my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, and I have a little spare money on hand." No, alas, if I had known this, I shouldn't have bought clothes with the money my parents gave me, so I could make up a few."

The other three people also nodded again and again, each explaining their own reasons for not having any money, and Zhang Baoyin's face turned green in anger!
Seeing that Zhang Baoyin's expression was not good, the four of them were also a little embarrassed. They usually took advantage of this guy a lot, but now he puts aside whenever he is in trouble, which is a bit embarrassing.

Hu San'er moved away uncomfortably, coughed twice, and then hugged Zhang Baoyin's shoulders. The two brothers said kindly: "Don't blame the brothers, brothers really have no money, whoever lies will become a bastard." !"

Zhang Baoyin was sullen, but there was nothing he could do. The money was in someone else's pocket, how could he get it out!
The atmosphere suddenly became dull, and the five of them stopped talking.

Although Hu San'er didn't want to borrow money, he didn't want to make the relationship stiff either. After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered something that he heard from a friend before, his eyes lit up, and he whispered in Zhang Baoyin's ear.

Several other people also leaned over to listen, and after a long while, they left with excited faces.

"What about Brother Baoyin? Brother, this has pointed out a clear path for you. It depends on whether you can go or not. If you are willing, brother will set up a line for you!"

Hu San'er threw a peanut into his mouth, and asked while looking at Zhang Baoyin while chewing.

Zhang Baoyin nodded repeatedly, unable to hide the smile on his face. As the book said, there is no unparalleled road!
"Brother San'er, this is a great thing, and I will leave everything to you, brother!"

Hu San'er grinned loudly and slapped his chest, promising that it would be done.

Stepping on the moonlight, Zhang Baoyin sang a little song, and returned to Zhangjia Village in a happy mood. When passing by Widow Huang's house, seeing that the window was still lighted, she suddenly felt hot and went in quietly.

After a while, the bed boards in the room creaked, mixed with the man's panting and the woman's moaning, the moon was so ashamed that it hid in the clouds.

In the Zhang family, Mrs. Zhao waited for Zhang Baoyin without blinking an eye. She didn't know that the wait lasted all night. It wasn't until dawn the next day that the son, who made her worry so hard, entered the house yawning.
