Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 38
"Big sister, don't make trouble. Dad gambled money to buy food for us." Ma Dalang seemed to be used to it, and walked to the courtyard wall and stood silently.

Ma Min'er opened her mouth to ask, but she choked on the words, yes, although it was gambling, it was to support them, so why should she join in the fun? As his daughter, watching relatives gamble is not an honorable thing Bar!
Beside the wall, the old woman babbled to persuade her daughter-in-law, "Damnie, San'er will definitely win the shop back."

The damselfly didn't even move her eyelids, and snorted coldly.

"Dumba...do you trust mother..."

……

The old lady repeated those words over and over again, making Ma Min'er numb, her ears were filled with the noise in the living room, but the gambling made her guess a lot about Ma's family and about her father. .

It is not unusual for Ma Min'er to be a son of a noble family who is born in a noble family. Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, there are a lot of such things, but most of their gambling is boring and showing off. His father is obviously a bullied The bastard, what qualifications and capital does he have to gamble?Could it be that he was spoiled by someone with a heart, trying to run on his grandfather?

Hungry and tired, Ma Min'er leaned against the wall and fell asleep. Before falling asleep, a thought flashed through her mind. In the future, she must let her father and brothers and sisters live a good life, and she will never be infected with bad habits, such as bet.

Ma Min'er was woken up by shaking, "Father... Daddy..." In a daze, she wanted to ask his father if he won, but she didn't have the nerve to ask.

"Second Sister, Dad won two taels of silver." Ma Sanlang whispered happily.

"Really, dad?" Ma Min'er was completely sleepy, and after she was overjoyed, she felt a little complicated.

Ma Qifeng nodded, "Well, let's go."

Ma Min'er turned her head to look at the living room on the left side of the courtyard, but it was gone, "Hey, where is this?"

"Hee hee..." Ma Sanlang smiled, "Second sister, you have been asleep for a long time."

"Ah...then...then how did I get out?"

"Of course Dad recited it."

Ma Min'er smiled embarrassedly: "Father—"

"Let's go, the rough noodles have been bought, let's go back!"

It turned out that his father had to turn his back on his face, so he couldn't shake her awake, and he slept so deeply that Ma Min'er secretly scolded herself for being a pig.

Ma Dalang looked around like a thief, as if he was on guard for something.

Ma Min'er didn't pay attention at first, but after a few times, she realized that it was to guard against the Ma family, and she also unconsciously looked around, and she saw the lively Ma family, this time not one, but two, not only In this way, Ma Qiguang and Ma Qiyun, who are particularly powerful in fighting, seemed to be squeezed behind the crowd, and they didn't notice the grain bag in Dad's hand. Seeing that the crowd was about to disperse, they would see the sack on Dad's back.

With a low cry, "Father, quickly put down the sack and stand aside."

Ma Qifeng also had sharp eyes. Seeing his irreconcilable fifth brother and ninth brother, if the food was in their hands, they would definitely run out of food. He was quick to think, and suddenly put it on Shen Hou'er's back, "Brother, don't say that this food is mine."

Shen Hou'er was just about to say that he begged someone to sell it to you, so why not say it was yours, when he saw two good-looking young men coming in front of him, his mind flashed, could it be that the benefactor owed them money, and was afraid that the food would be stolen? Use it to pay off debts?
Squeeze out of the crowd with the grain on your back, I'll carry it home for my benefactor.

"Sixth Brother, what were you doing just now?" Ma Qiyun asked old-fashionedly.

Ma Qifeng rolled his eyes and said nothing.

Ma Qiguang stared at Shenhou'er's back for a long time, and didn't hear Lao Liu's answer for a long time, so he turned his head, "Lao Liu, I just heard someone say that someone helped someone win back the shop, this person Isn't it you?"

Seeing that everyone was about to gossip, Ma Qifeng raised his voice, "You think too highly of me, I am an exile from other places, how can I have money to play at the gambling table."

It's obviously you, why don't you admit it?Although everyone was puzzled, they could see signs of it, and no one would say anything except silence.

"Then how did I see that you seemed to have a grain bag on your back?" Ma Qiguang was still skeptical.

"I'm afraid it's dizziness." Ma Qifeng's face was hard and guilty, afraid that someone would expose it in public, so he glanced around almost invisible, but no one said anything.

The Ma brothers and sisters also looked nervous, and they were afraid that they would steal their rations, and they were so overwhelmed that they didn't dare to breathe.

Afraid of long nights and dreams, Ma Qifeng picked up his little daughter and walked out of the town, and Ma Dalang and his siblings followed closely behind him to go home.

Ma Wu and Ma Jiu did not give up, and asked the people around them, but the crowd dispersed one after another, "It's hot, it's hot, go home quickly."

……

"What the hell, do you look like a villain? You actually escaped. If you were in the capital, your legs would have to be broken." Ma Qiyun scolded, twisting his teeth.

Ma Qiguang glanced suspiciously around, "Did Lao Liu get some food?"

"Then go and have a look. If there is one, bring it back quickly." Ma Qiyun instructed his elder brother.

"Why don't you go?"

"My youngest, youngest, you are the older brother, you do it."

"Hmph..." Ma Qiguang sneered, "If I go, you have to help me, if you don't, I won't go either."

"That won't work, I have to go to the well to fetch water." Ma Qiyun frowned, the scorching sun was so hot that he was so hot that he was too lazy to go, and staggered to the well.

Although Ma Qifeng left, he felt extremely uneasy. Ma Wu and Ma Jiu were the most difficult to deal with. If they followed, their own food would definitely be lost, and their heart ached.

The brothers and sisters of the Ma family felt their father's uneasiness, and they looked behind them from time to time, nervous for fear that someone would follow.They didn't expect that the two worst brothers of the Ma family would fight among themselves, which saved their family's food.

But what Ma Min'er didn't know was that while she was asleep, something big or small happened in Yunshui Town. town.

"Liang Tongyan from the county is gone?"

"Well, let's go."

"Poor Shen family, the shop run by generations has disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"The shop still belongs to the Shen family."

"What do you mean, didn't you understand?"

"Liang Tongyan didn't win Shen's shop."

"No way, I heard that Liang Tongyan wanted Shen's shop for a long time, but he didn't take it away. What's the matter?"

"An outsider came to help Shen's family."

"Outsider, can't you deal with that surnamed Liang?"

"I don't know whether to deal with it or not. Anyway, I heard that the surname Liang was convinced that he lost. I want to find a chance to gamble with him."

"Ah... there is such a thing?"

"Yeah, it seems that the outsider is capable, and it's not easy to convince Liang Tongyan."

"Who said no?"

The mother of the Shen family sent the doctor away, and said to the daughter-in-law who was lying on the bed: "The shop is not lost, the home is still there, so let's live."

The damselfly wanted to get up, "Mom, I can't sleep."

"No, the doctor said that you have lost too much blood, you should take a good rest."

"But mother, haven't we thanked our benefactor yet?" The damselfly said anxiously.
