Early in the morning, the sound of reading could be heard in the courtyard of the Chu family.

"Brother, you are so diligent, you get up early in the morning and study hard!" Chu Youzhi walked out and saw Chu Youwen holding a book and reading in the morning. It was a little unexpected. Brother worked so hard. Could it be that he was really sure of passing the exam this time?

?

Chu Youwen said hello to him. He didn't have any intention of studying hard. He was just worried about the safety of his arms and couldn't sleep well all night, so he got up early and showed off to the old man.

Chu Youzhi pulled him aside and whispered that he had something to discuss. Chu Youwen took him into the study room, which Mr. Chu had specially set up earlier to make it easier for his children and grandchildren to study books.

After the two brothers sat down, Chu Youzhi took out a folded piece of paper and handed it to him.

"Brother, look at it, I think you should know about this."

Chu Youwen took it, browsed it quickly, slammed it on the desk, and cursed bitterly: "No wonder that damn girl was so arrogant last night, she met a rich man! Old Five, where did you get this deed?"

Come?"

Chu Youzhi explained: "Wulang picked it up last night when he was eating. He said it fell from Wuya's body, along with three cents. He thought it was a bank note, so he showed it to me this morning."

"You damn girl just borrowed three hundred wen, but you were tricked into paying back three hundred taels! You dare to go out and cause trouble even if you don't know a single word. You deserve to be deceived! Let's see how the third room responds!" Chu Youwen sneered.

It's your turn to see the joke.

"Brother, you've been in the academy for a long time and don't know what's going on outside. Isn't it strange that he has a lot of money and is a famous person? He is known as the No. 1 prodigal boy in Baoshan! He often throws money around on the street for three or four years! Even if he only spends a lot of money in a day,

If you spread out one tael, you will end up with more than a thousand taels in a few years! How can a noble man with little backing come up with so much money to defeat him? If he comes to collect debts, we can't rely on him to write it down in black and white!" Chu Youzhi said patiently

He said: "Brother, do you think Wuya was secretly communicating with that guy and extorting the family's money together?"

After hearing what he said, Chu Youwen felt that the matter was not simple and he had to take it seriously. He thought for a while and said: "Logically, it is impossible for a dignified and wealthy young man named Xu to hook up with a little girl. I don't think Wu Ya has the ability.

It's very possible that this was a tactic used by Xu to rob someone, and Wu Ya pressed his fingerprints in a daze."

"What the eldest brother said makes sense. Who can withstand spending money every day without a little bit of windfall? Even if the family has a lot of money, it will be squandered. But if Xu makes trouble, how should the family deal with it?"

"Huh, it's clearly stated on it that once Wuya can't afford the repayment, the other party has the right to sell off the property and sell people to pay off the debt. She will solve the trouble she caused by herself. Do you want her family to help her solve it?" Chu Youwen

He replied disdainfully.

"Brother, I'm worried that she won't let you go. Since the family has helped you, how can we not help the third bedroom?"

Chu Youwen also realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately fell silent.

"Brother, the third child is like that anyway. Even if he can be cured, it will only be a long-term medicine. He still needs someone to serve him every day. This is a bottomless pit! Why not just separate the third room while the whole family is here? If the person named Xu comes to make trouble, he will be implicated.

If it's not us, I think it's best to get this done as soon as possible." Chu Youzhi came up with an idea.

"Lao Wu, you have been working hard in the business district in the past few years. Your brain is getting smarter and smarter. It is only a matter of time before you get rich!" Chu Youwen praised a few words, and the two brothers went to find Mrs. Du to conspire.

Over there, Chu Youde, Chu Congrong and others gathered in front of Chu Youxian's bed.

After a night's rest, Chu Youxian's condition had not changed much. He was still as angry as ever and his eyes were dull. But with Ye's careful care, he didn't look so sloppy and scary. Ye was sitting on the edge of the bed, his eyes were red and swollen, and he probably stayed up all night

Crying. I have been looking forward to the man coming back to have someone to rely on, but I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.

Chu Sanlang has been working in the fields with his parents since he was a child. He has no independent opinions at all. Standing on the bed, he seems to be at a loss. Chu Youde has a simple temperament. He has been discriminated against for a long time because of his legs and feet, and he has no knowledge. Although the twins are smart, they are just young because of their age.

My heart aches for my father and I can't do anything.

Although Chu Congrong has a body of nearly twelve years old, in his heart is a soul of nearly thirty years old. Looking at this big family, he has to stand up and play a role.

"Mom, Fourth Uncle, originally it was not my turn to speak at home, but I say very rudely that now we are at the critical point of life and death! What do you think we should do?"

Chu Youde immediately spoke: "Wuya, I listen to you!"

He didn't know what his niece had gone through after he had been away from home for two months, but last night he witnessed her verbally quarreling with the whole family, refuting them speechlessly, and even calling Mrs. Du a little grandma.

Put one in!

"Daughter, my heart is in a mess. Whatever you want me to do, just do it." Ms. Ye began to cry and sob softly. Recently, my daughter has as many thoughts as a honeycomb, and she can't make the decision.

"We all listen to sister!" The twins responded the most.

"Wu Ya, I don't have any objection, just say whatever you want."

The last person to express his stance was Sanlang Chu Yingjun. The seventeen-and-a-half-year-old boy was a little hesitant to listen to his sister.

Chu Congrong looked at everyone's performance, and it seemed that except for the twins, everyone else was a loser. Chu Congrong didn't dare to have high hopes for them, he just hoped that they wouldn't hold him back. Before, he was thinking about it.

They had been working quietly for a long time, but with Chu Youxian's injury, the plan was no longer feasible and they had to cut the knot quickly.

"I guess I will separate us soon. Fourth uncle, who will you follow?" Chu Congrong asked a big question.

Ye had been brainwashed several times by her daughter, and instead of being afraid, she was actually looking forward to it. Chu Youde didn't dare to believe it, "They say that the family will not be separated even if the parents are together. It's impossible for your father to agree to the separation."

“Uncle Fourth, just tell me who you’ve been with!”

Chu Congrong showed her ability in the workplace in her previous life. This was not about discussing whether it was possible or not. What she wanted was the result.

"I will definitely follow Third Brother! With you!"

Chu Youde was a little anxious. He and his third brother were born from the same mother. Needless to say, his third brother and his sister-in-law had always taken care of him. Mrs. Du never regarded her as a human being, let alone her legs.

It was because Mrs. Du refused to pay that she was lame.

This is the result that Chu Congrong wants.

"Listen, the first big thing is to separate our families. It could take three days or half a month to separate us. At that time, the third brother will be responsible for inviting the village chief and clan chief. Everyone pretends to disagree and cry out that we can't survive if we are separated.

Come down, this is to ensure that we don't suffer too much when we separate."

"The second big thing is dad's injury. Third brother, I will give you money. You are responsible for seeing who has chickens for sale and buying them to make soup. Make sure dad's chicken soup is not cut off every day. I will think of a solution for ginseng in a few days. You want

Remember, whoever steals food from dad is trying to kill our dad!"

"Mom, in addition to necessary housework, please focus on taking good care of dad! The doctor said that dad suffered serious internal injuries and cannot move too much in a short period of time. Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi and I are often away from home, so you must stay close to us.

"

"Fourth uncle, don't go too far when you go to work in the fields, just in case someone wants to take advantage of Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi. If anything happens, just fight with them. Except for me, everyone else doesn't have to worry about life and death. Just fight!"

"Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, you must follow me every day and notify everyone in time if something happens. If you are alone and get bullied, just run away while shouting at others. You will suffer a loss, so don't fight them head-on!"

It stands to reason that the group of people have been busy settling Chu Youwen's bad affairs recently and will not have much leisure to deal with the third room, but there is no chance that anyone will get crazy.

After giving everyone instructions, Chu Congrong walked to Chu Youxian and sat down, and said softly: "Dad, the most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health and don't have any psychological burden. The doctor said that there is nothing serious about you, as long as you have enough supplements.

, you will get better soon. You can just drink some chicken soup for the next two days, and my daughter will bring you ginseng in two days. You are the head of the family, and our whole family is waiting for you to take care of it."

Chu Youxian's lips moved a few times but he couldn't speak for a long time. He blinked his eyes a few times, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Dad, actually Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi and I are quite capable. If you don't believe me, I'll make a bet with you. We'll make you drink ginseng soup until you feel like vomiting. Do you believe it?"

Chu Youxian blinked a few more times, but Chu Congrong couldn't understand and asked Ye what it meant. Ye looked at it and said, "Your father is praising you for your abilities. He just wants to eat chicken butts. He doesn't want to eat them."

Ginseng!”

Alas, simple people, even their wishes are so simple.

In fact, neither mother nor daughter understood what Chu Youxian meant. This is something to be said later.

Mrs. Ye was reluctant to eat the chicken that the three of them brought back yesterday, and planned to keep it to make soup for her men. Chu Congrong thought that the cooked chicken would not be nutritious when used for stew, so she simply let everyone eat it, saying that it would be left for drinking tomorrow.

It would be a waste. Ye refused until Chu Congrong took the twins and promised again and again that their father would drink fresh chicken soup.

The next day, Chu Congrong wanted to take the time to make some cornstarch while her fourth uncle was at home, but she couldn't do it by herself because it required a lot of energy. She asked who had a stone mill in the village and learned that the nearest one was Niu Er's.

Then he asked his fourth uncle to accompany him there.

Niu Er was not at home. When Aunt Niu saw Chu Congrong, she quickly greeted her and asked her daughter Niu Xiaohua to come out to greet the guests.

"Aunt Niu, I'm not here as a guest. I just want to borrow your stone mill for use." As soon as Chu Congrong finished speaking, a little girl walked out of the room. She was half a head taller than herself, dark and thin.

"Wuya, you're all fine!" Niu Xiaohua greeted her affectionately.

In fact, the two of them were not familiar with each other. They were just acquaintances before. Although they were from the same village and were of the same age, the original owner joined the Li Mansion as a maid at the age of six. She only had two days off a month. She had to do this and that when she returned home. It was completely useless.

Opportunity to play where can playmates come from.

Niu Xiaohua was very familiar with it, so he knew she wanted to borrow a stone to grind it, so he let her use it as she pleased. The Niu family stone mill was originally used by Niu Er to grind beans when making tofu. Later, the tofu was not easy to sell and they could not make money, so they simply stopped

Done.

Chu Congrong said that she wanted to buy some sweet potatoes and cassava. Niu Xiaohua quickly went into the house and carried half a basket of sweet potatoes out. Last year's cassava had been eaten up and there was no harvest this year. There were only some dried cassava chips. The Chu family also had these, but Chu

Calm Rong doesn't want to get involved with Madam Du and her gang, for fear that things will become unclear later.

Chu Congrong asked for twenty kilograms of sweet potatoes and ten kilograms of cassava chips. After asking about the current market situation, he gave Aunt Niu ten cents. Aunt Niu laughed and refused to accept it. Chu Congrong forced her to accept it, so she reluctantly accepted it.

Down.

When Niu Xiaohua learned that she wanted to grind the cassava slices into pulp, she immediately helped her soak the cassava slices in water, and then helped her peel and cut the sweet potatoes together. Chu Youde ground the peeled sweet potato slices into pulp and packed them into buckets.

of.

Aunt Niu asked casually what it was used for, and Chu Congrong explained that her father couldn't eat hard food, so the doctor asked him to grind it into a pulp for him to drink.

When Aunt Niu heard that something happened to Chu Youxian, she quickly picked up five eggs and said specifically: "Last time you were sick, it happened that the chickens at home didn't lay eggs. They were laid recently. You can give them to your father."

eat."

Chu Congrong took the egg, her nose felt sore.

The family in front of me lives in a dilapidated mud and thatched house. Everyone's clothes are in tatters and they are as skinny as a vegetable. It is obvious that they have been malnourished for a long time. Even so, they are willing to save a few eggs to support others.

Such generous behavior shows how simple and kind-hearted he is.
