Chapter 29
Seeing Xu Zhuang knelt down obediently, Lin Shuang turned around and sat down on the stool.

"Da Zhuang, do you know where you are wrong?" Lin Shuang asked in a non-stern tone, but Xu Zhuang felt very dignified for some reason.

Xu Zhuang looked up at Lin Shuang in astonishment: That's right!This is his aunt who has always been good-tempered!

But it seemed like a different person, even scarier than his father.

"Da Zhuang..." Lin Shuang shouted again with a more serious tone.

Only then did Xu Zhuang hurriedly lower his head again, and told the ins and outs of the matter as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

It turned out that the last time Lin Chun went to find Lin E, Xu Zhuang stole all the money from the family and ran out, Xu Deshui was furious.

This time without Lin Shuang, Lin E could pay to subsidize Lin E, so Lin E didn't dare to cover Xu Zhuang too much, so she had to ask Xu Zhuang not to go home and hide for the time being.

Xu Zhuang took the money and didn't have to go home. Instead, he was even happier. With the money, he went to find Ma Qi in the neighboring village.

This Ma Qi has passed his thirties, and he is used to eating, drinking, whoring and gambling on weekdays. At the beginning, Xu Zhuang went out with a few boys from the same village to hang out. Some of them knew Ma Qi, and the half-sized boys followed him out of curiosity. Let's play.

However, the other children's families learned about it and taught their own children severely. After that, the children did not dare to look for Ma Qi again. Only Xu Zhuang, although Xu Deshui beat him fiercely, couldn't stand Lin E's crying and making trouble.

In addition, every time Xu Zhuang got into such a misfortune, Lin E took money from Lin Shuang to make up for it. After all, the family had a lot of money, so Xu Deshui just turned a blind eye to it, which led to a long time later. Xu Zhuang gambled bigger and bigger.

But at this moment, it was only Xu Zhuang who had just gone astray, and when Lin Shuang threatened him, Xu Zhuang explained everything clearly.

"Auntie, I really know I'm wrong, but where can I get five taels of silver? If I don't pay, I will be beaten to death by them." Xu Zhuang looked at Lin Shuang expectantly. I have always been soft-hearted, and I will definitely not watch myself being beaten to death.

Xu Zhuang was already being beaten terribly now, coupled with the deliberate pitifulness of it, it really made people feel a little sympathetic.

If it was Lin Shuang in the past, even if he didn't eat or drink, or even sell what he had, he would have to help find a way.

However, Lin Shuang at this time knew that in fact, what he did was wrong.

Not only did Lin E's family not be saved, but because Lin E relied on someone to help her, she slackened the discipline of Xu Zhuang, and Lin E herself never thought well of her until she became a habit.

So even if Lin Shuang wanted to help this time, she would never give money to Xu Zhuang directly, not to mention that she didn't have that much money at all.

"Da Zhuang, you know what's going on with Auntie, and I can't afford so much money." Lin Shuang said frankly.

Xu Zhuang immediately looked at Lin Shuang: "Auntie, you can't leave me alone! Even if I don't get beaten to death by them, I will definitely be beaten to death by my father when I go home." Xu Zhuang thought that Lin Shuang didn't want to care, so he hurriedly begged.

"Da Zhuang, Auntie didn't say I don't care about you, but you have to earn the money yourself!"

Earn money yourself?Hearing Lin Shuang's words, Xu Zhuang couldn't help being taken aback, he doesn't know anything, how can he make money?
"Da Zhuang, have you ever thought about it, is it possible that you are going to stretch out your hands and spend the rest of your life with your family? If your parents are old in the future, how will you support yourself? You are not young now, and you may get married someday Now, what do you want to marry and have children with?"

Lin Shuangyu didn't speak fast, but every word hit Xu Zhuang.

At this moment Xu Zhuang is still at the age of being playful, and he hasn't really reached the bottom of his heart, otherwise he wouldn't feel guilty when he saw Lin Shuang being strict.

Lin E had always doted on him and never said such things. Although Xu Deshui was in charge, he could only beat him at first, so he couldn't explain the truth to him.

So, when Lin Shuang said this, Xu Zhuang only felt that it made sense, and couldn't help but look at Lin Shuang: "Auntie, but I don't know anything, what can I do to make money?"

Seeing that her words were effective, Lin Shuang smiled slightly: "Listen to my aunt, just eat something casually tonight and stay with my aunt, and leave with my aunt early tomorrow morning, I promise you can get the money back soon, but if you want Promise Auntie, I won’t gamble any more in the future.”

Xu Zhuang had lost his mind for a long time now, and felt that what Lin Shuang said was reasonable, so he nodded hurriedly and agreed: "Auntie, I won't gamble in the future, but I'm just angry because I lost so much, and I want to win back and give it back to my father." , so Dad won't be so angry, but..."

"Silly boy, there is no one who wins all the time in this gambling. Nine out of ten bets lose, and there is another one that relies on some disgraceful means. If you listen to my aunt well, let alone the money you lose, you took it out from home." I also guarantee that you can return it."

Lin Shuang then got up to help Xu Zhuang: "Okay, get up quickly! Eat something later, Auntie will open another room for you, and come with me tomorrow morning."

Xu Zhuang nodded vigorously, and Lin Shuang got up and went outside again. After a while, the waiter came in with two bowls of noodle soup, and Lin also took two extra steamed buns in both hands.

"Hurry up and eat!" Lin Shuang pushed one of the bowls of noodles to Xu Zhuang, and stuffed the steamed buns to him.

Xu Zhuang has been hanging around with Ma Qi since he ran away these days, and he has been playing around day and night, so he doesn't remember to eat every meal.

This time I lost miserably, I lost all the cotton clothes on my body, just now Ma Qi beat him again, now I am cold and hungry, I don’t care about the hot noodle soup, I just sit down and eat it snoring up.

Lin Shuang sat aside and drank all the soup in his bowl of noodles, and then went to the shopkeeper to add a room for Xu Zhuang to rest, and then he also asked the clerk to bring hot water to wash his face and sleep.

After resting peacefully all night, Lin Shuang called Xu Zhuang up early the next morning, and the two of them rode a bullock cart to their home at the foot of the west mountain.

"Auntie, where did you get the bullock cart?" Xu Zhuang had heard about Lin Shuang's current situation from Lin E a long time ago, and he seemed to be in a miserable state. If he hadn't been anxious to see Lin Shuang, his familiar relative, yesterday Xu Zhuang guessed that Lin Shuangneng would never have thought that Lin Shuangneng was rich.

But now it seems that Lin Shuang still has an ox cart in just a few months, Xu Zhuang asked curiously.

"This ox cart was lent to me by someone else, but it is for my use temporarily." Lin Shuang didn't say much, and drove the ox cart back to the house at the foot of the west mountain slowly.

When Xu Zhuang got out of the car, he saw Lin Shuang's collapsed gate: "Auntie is not good, your house has been smashed."

Lin Shuang was not in a hurry: "It's okay, it's just a thief. Anyway, there is nothing worth stealing, but the door was smashed, so I went to the inn last night to stay."

Hearing what Lin Shuang said, Xu Zhuang was a little desperate: There is nothing worth stealing after being stolen, and there is really nothing decent at home. Can such an aunt really help him pay off his debts?
