Chapter 28 It's the uncle who spends the money!

Sister Cao was leaning on the chair, rubbing her own arm while accusing the Dong family members of their arrogance.She looked up and saw her younger brother coming in, and she cursed, "You fool, why didn't you help me when my mother and I were beaten just now, and you still have the face to come in? If you hadn't married that funeral star, my mother and I would have been able to come in." Are you bullied by this?"

Granny Cao just changed into a clean set of clothes, and now she is wiping away tears even after she is in a mess.Hearing his daughter's questioning, he wanted to speak, but old man Cao got up and pulled silly Zhu and asked, "Well, Zhuzi, do you have something to say?"

Silly Zhu Hanhan nodded, and old man Cao hurriedly led him into the back room.Granny Cao snorted coldly, angrily hating herself for not being able to live up to her expectations and not being able to give birth to a son.Thinking of this, she blamed her eldest daughter again, and asked angrily, "Elder sister, why are you the only one here to help? Second Chen, isn't it because he is afraid to hide?"

Eldest sister Cao shrank her neck guiltily, thinking to herself that her mother guessed too accurately.Just now when the villagers came to report the news, not only did Chen Lao Er not intend to come to help, but he immediately ran away, fearing that the Dong family would also arrest him and beat him up.But even if he has all kinds of bad things, he is still his own man, and he always has to cover up one or two things for him, so he coaxed the old lady and said, "Mother, look at what you said, the second child went up the mountain to collect medicine early in the morning, and he is not at home at all. "

Mrs. Cao rolled her eyes, and didn't believe her daughter's nonsense at all, "Hmph, he's too lazy to lie on the bed and get maggots, why is he so hardworking today."

Sister Cao didn't dare to answer the words, and hurriedly moaned and yelled that the wound on her body was hurting, and she wanted to eat a big bowl of meat to make up for it tonight.As a result, I was slapped twice by my old lady, and then I pursed my lips and stopped asking for favors.

In the inner room, Old Man Cao was standing in front of the square table with a respectful and humble expression.Sha Zhu sighed secretly, stretched out his hand to invite him to sit down, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Cao, I have troubled you for so many years, so you don't have to be so reserved in front of me in the future."

Old Man Cao leaned forward again, and said, "Young Master, you've spoiled this old slave. This is what this old slave should do."

Silly Zhu frowned, and he didn't want to get entangled in this matter. He said in a long way, "In order not to attract people's attention, I couldn't help with family affairs. But now that Mrs. Dong has done business, it will be easier to use this name in the future. In addition, I ordered someone to find a famous doctor in the south to treat my second sister, and when I arrive in the village in a few days, I will ask Mr. Feng to accompany me."

Old man Cao's expression didn't change when he heard those words before, but the last two sentences made him extremely grateful.After all, his well-behaved but unhealthy little daughter has always been his worry. If he can heal his daughter well and watch her get married with his own eyes, he will have no regrets in his life.Thinking of this, he quickly stood up and thanked him with a big gift, "Master Xie is concerned, this old slave is very grateful."

Sha Zhu stood up and helped him to persuade him a few more words, and then he ordered, "Mr. Dong is of great use to me. Usually, whenever she asks, I ask Cao Bo to take care of it."

Old man Cao understood, and immediately responded, "Don't worry, young master."

The two discussed it properly, and then they left the inner room one after the other. The old man Cao glanced at the curious old woman and daughter, turned his head and said to Sha Zhu helplessly, "The house is in such a mess, you What kind of sword should I buy? What if I hurt myself?"

Silly Zhu argued with some dissatisfaction, "I want to practice martial arts, and help my mother fight!"

When Mrs. Cao heard this, she rarely agreed, "Okay, the old man bought a machete for Zhuzi, and next time I will take him to smash the Dong family's door together. I really think our Cao family is a good bully..."

"Shut up!" Old Man Cao scolded, frowning, "Tell me the truth, did you tamper with the money you sent to the Dong family when you were hired?"

Granny Cao was so angry that she jumped up and cried out in extreme grievances, "You old man, let the Dong family wrong me, you don't believe me! I usually live my life carefully, but I have never beaten you. That's a bad idea..."

Elder Sister Cao also chimed in, "Father, my mother and I exchanged the money for the hire. How could the money from the time-honored brand Fuyun be fake? It must be Mrs. Dong who suffered a lot in the city and planned to blackmail her." Let's have one at home."

After thinking about it, old man Cao felt that his wife and daughter were not such scheming people, so he could only say, "The Dong family has suffered a loss in this matter today, and they must come to apologize, and then you don't have to be unreasonable, after all, in the future To move around."

Mrs. Cao still wanted to talk, but at this time Dong Rong came in with food and said with a smile, "Father and mother, lunch is ready, even if there are big things, let's wait until we have enough food to discuss."

Mrs. Cao was holding back her stomach. When she saw Dong Rong, she didn't have a good face, and said bitterly, "Don't eat, if you poison the food, our Cao family will be completely killed by your Dong family." gone."

Dong Rong didn't reply back, she reached out and took two pieces of broken silver from her bosom, put it in front of old man Cao, and said with a smile, "Father, this is the household for the past two months, my mother is getting angry, why don't you put it away first?" Bar."

When Mrs. Cao saw the gleaming silver, she couldn't care less about getting angry. She stepped forward and snatched it tightly, and finally said with a little disgust, "This amount of silver is not enough to buy wound medicine. Woolen cloth."

Dong Rong pretended not to hear clearly, and quickly divided the chopsticks into the rice. After the meal, everyone was full, and then said, "Father and mother, I came into our house empty-handed, and I always feel sorry for you." It just so happened that my boss came back to check the accounts yesterday, and when he saw that the business was good, he rewarded me with a little extra money. I plan to use the money to buy some dowry items, what do my parents think?"

Old man Cao thought of the instructions from the silly Zhu just now, and he understood, he nodded and quickly replied, "You earned this money by working, so you can decide what you want to buy, and you don't need to tell your family anymore."

Mrs. Cao had the family money she just got in her arms, and she couldn't ask for it again. Then she thought that her daughter-in-law's dowry items would also be moved into Cao's house, and it would not be cheaper for outsiders, so she agreed with it with a cold snort.

Sister Cao stared at the silver in the old lady's hand with eyes full of light, almost drooling.Granny Cao gave her a stern look when she remembered the meat robbery last time, and quickly entered the room and locked it in the box.Sister Cao saw that there was no advantage to take advantage of, so she curled her lips, said hello to her father, and went home.

Dong Rong was happy in her heart, but she didn't dare to show half of it on her face.The so-called thing should not be late, in the afternoon when the old Cao family took a nap, she led Zhu Zi out of the house.

Sister-in-law Liu was supposed to lead the way for Dong Rong last night, so she sat under the willow tree at the entrance of the village and waited just after lunch.After finally waiting for Dong Rong and Zhuzi to arrive, he smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't be able to come out today. It's just a coincidence. Someone saw Mr. Chen coming to the orchard by car just now. If we want to go up the mountain to play, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient. How about , another day?"

"Oh, is that so?" Dong Rong's eyes lit up. Originally, she planned to go to the orchard today to learn about the production status, so as to gain an advantage when negotiating prices.She didn't expect to meet someone from the master's house, which saved her from going to the door.

"Just today, I won't have time when I get busy in the future."

Seeing Dong Rong insisting, Mrs. Liu blamed the young man for being playful, but it was not easy to stop her, so she led the way out of the village first.

The Chen's orchard was located on a low hill three miles west of Yimianpo Village. The three stepped on their feet and arrived within a quarter of an hour.Dong Rong paid attention to the number and distribution of various fruit trees in the orchard while climbing up the mountain along the Yangchang path.When she climbed to the three thatched houses on the top of the mountain, she also had an estimate in her heart.

The reason why the Chen family orchard is famous for dozens of miles nearby is because the peach blossoms that occupy half of the hillside are probably for the sake of blooming and luxuriant peach trees. The size of a fingernail, crowded together, it looks very lively.There are more than 100 pear trees planted on the remaining half of the hillside, and there are also twenty or thirty cherries, apricots, pomegranates, etc., which must be reserved for the family to eat and take care of.What satisfied Dong Rong the most was the fifty or sixty apple trees planted near the top of the mountain. The trees were only five or six years old, and they were at the peak of fruit bearing.

The more Dong Rong looked at it, the more satisfied she was, silently thinking about how to take care of the orchard after she bought it.Unexpectedly, a boy in blue clothes suddenly came out from the end of the alley. Seeing Dong Rong and the three of them opened their mouths, he scolded very rudely, "Who are you? Do you know whose land this is, so you dare to come up casually. If you lose something, you can take care of it." Get up? Hurry up and get out!"

She is poor and has little confidence. Sister-in-law Liu often encounters such wicked slaves when she goes to the city. Her first thought after hearing this is to bow down and make amends. "Young man, calm down, we..."

Dong Rong stopped her with a frown, and said in a cold voice, "I don't know whose land this is. I just heard that the garden is going to be resold, so I came here to see if it's worth buying. But now there are vicious dogs blocking the way. I'm not interested." After saying this, she turned around and pulled Sha Zhu and Sister-in-law Liu to go down the mountain.

The blue-clothed boy was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he hurriedly put on a face full of smiles and rushed to him, nodded and bowed down to make amends, "This sister-in-law, the little one was reckless just now, talking... this is a bit impolite , don’t be offended. Yes, yes, you will be a vicious dog, make two blind barking sounds, please don’t leave.”

Dong Rong wasn't mean by nature, but she asked Sister-in-law Liu to lead the way today, if she saw her being reprimanded and unable to get ahead, it would be chilling.

What's more, there has been such a truth since ancient times, it is the uncle who spends money.The three of them came to buy gardens, not to beg, so why should they be low-key?

"Forget it this time, and keep your eyes open next time. You can't be rude to anyone."

The boy still had a smile on his face, he deserved it very much, but in fact, his teeth were itching with hatred in his heart.My master is in a hurry to sell the garden, but no buyer has come to his door. He is just annoyed these days. If he knows that he has offended the buyer who finally appeared, his job will be ruined.So, today he was asked to kneel and kowtow, and he admitted it, who made his mouth smell bad for a while.
