The three of them arrived at the Chu family compound and rushed in.

"Damn girl, why are you running in here? This is not your home!" Chu Baofeng happened to be standing at the door of the upper room, opening her mouth to curse. Mrs. Du heard it in the back room, and her eyelids couldn't help but twitch wildly.

Chu Congrong put her hands on her hips and said loudly: "I'm looking for my master and it has nothing to do with you!"

Chu Baofeng refused to let in. Thinking of the morning mother-in-law and her eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law going to the old house and getting money back, she knew that this damn girl must have come here for this matter.

The two were arguing and arguing. Mr. Chu couldn't sit still in the room and walked out.

"Master, I want to have a few words with you alone."

Chu Congrong thought that it would be better to be polite first and then fight. He had to give the old man some face.

Mr. Chu looked a little suspicious, not knowing what she wanted to do. To be honest, he was a little worried about this girl. She would be very angry if she refused to talk. After hesitating for a while, he let her into the simple study room.

Chu Congrong looked at the old man steadily for a while, and it was clear from his expression that he probably didn't know about this. He quickly adjusted his tone and said as calmly as possible: "Sir, I respect you the most. You are educated.

You are reasonable, courageous, and far-sighted, so granddaughter, I will open the skylight and say some bright words to you."

"Although I don't know Mr. Jiaoyu, I do know Mrs. Lin from Dong'an Academy, and I also know Mr. Yang Huaqing from Zhiya College in the county. Moreover, I have some friendship with Mr. Yang, and we have made an appointment to go to the county to meet him tomorrow.

"

"Sir, I'm not bragging to you, but today my little grandma went to rob my father of four taels of life-saving money. You split up the family before you gave us three taels. Later, my little grandma robbed one more tael, and the loan sharks didn't even pay us any interest.

So cruel. The extra one tael of silver was given to my granddaughter by Master Yang. I need her to give it back to me and compensate my parents for the mental loss of one tael!"

"I am not discussing with you now, but informing you. If I don't see five taels of silver before dinner, I will tell Old Master Yang and the others about it tomorrow. The meeting place is at the Yayi Tea House in the county. If you are interested, you can go

Look, granddaughter, let me treat you to a pot of tea."

"Tomorrow I will ask the old master to borrow money. There must be a reason for borrowing money. My reason is very real and touching. I will cry and complain to my uncle who is in school for stealing my father's money to buy life-saving medicine and for being greedy for food and gambling.

Being unfilial to my parents has forced me to borrow money to pay off his debts even at an advanced age. This shows how despicable my uncle’s character is. It’s really a disgrace to a scholar. By the way, I will go back to town tomorrow to find Master Lin and talk about Master Yang.

I hate this scum uncle so much that I inadvertently mentioned that he seems to have two sons who are studying in Dong'an. You know that I am very eloquent, and I guarantee that what I say will make those who hear it sad and cry."

"You don't have to doubt me, I always do what I say! I like to use a gentle tone to tell the cruelest things. Remember, it's best to let me see the money before eating!"

After Chu Congrong finished speaking, she turned around and left with a smile. As she walked out of the door, Mr. Chu shouted loudly from behind: "Damn old woman, get out of here!"

When the three of them returned home, Mrs. Ye was eagerly looking forward to whether her daughter could really get her money back?

"Mom, the food hasn't started yet?"

Mrs. Ye looked at her daughter's empty hands, sniffed and said in a hoarse voice, "My daughter, forget it if you don't have it."

She didn't dare to hope that her daughter could really get her money back. Didn't she know what kind of person Mrs. Du was? It was just that she had promised her third brother before, but now she didn't know how to explain it to him.

"Mom, don't be so nervous. The money will be sent over soon. Let's get food first. I have something to do in the evening."

Chu Congrong comforted her by saying that her fourth uncle had dried the two kinds of starch for her during the day, and she had to rush to make sago rice and sago tonight, otherwise she would have nothing to give to the wealthy people tomorrow.

When Mrs. Ye saw her daughter speaking, she could only take out the food cautiously. She filled up half a bowl of rice and angrily put it next to Chu Youxian. As for the ginseng chicken soup, it was better to pour it out and use it as fertilizer than to give it to him.

It was a good deal! Without saying anything, she turned around and went out to greet her brother for dinner.

Mrs. Ye held the bowl absentmindedly, and saw her younger brother happily talking to several juniors, and felt increasingly uncomfortable. If he misses this marriage, his younger brother will have to wait until the year of the monkey, and the woman will either want a larger betrothal gift, or she won't think that the younger brother is too old.

.

"Wu Ya, there are beds for sale in town, the big bed costs 150 cents, and the small bed costs 120 cents." While Ye was thinking about how to speak, Sanlang told Chu Congrong the result of his inquiry.

Chu Congrong was very happy after hearing this. It seemed that she would be able to get out of the dilemma of sleeping on the floor tomorrow. Just when he was thinking about how much money he would need to prepare for the four adults and two children, Chu Youde asked if he could buy some wood and make it himself.

"Fourth Uncle, can you do it? Will we fall down in the middle of the night?" the two little butts asked playfully. They had never seen Fourth Uncle do carpentry work.

"I've learned how to make stools from others before. It's probably not difficult to make a bed. It might be a little ugly at most, but it's guaranteed to be strong."

Chu Youde sounded very confident. He had nothing to do and it was like freeloading. He always felt sorry for this family.

Chu Congrong had already calculated in his head, and it was only eight hundred and twenty cents, which was less than one tael. Even if his fourth uncle could do it, not to mention the lack of tools at home, and he didn't know how many days he would have to wait for a bed to sleep on, it wouldn't be worthwhile at all. Chu Youde was a little disappointed.

, I also want to practice my skills with this bed and try to make a living by doing carpentry in the future.

The family was eating and chatting, temporarily diluting Ye's sadness over the loss of money. At this moment, Wang's call came from outside the door.

Chu Congrong put down her rice bowl and went out to see that Wang and Zhu were at the door.

When Mrs. Wang saw her, she calmly took out four silver ingots and some broken silver, a total of four taels and five cents, and said that it was given back to her by her master. Before Chu Congrong could say anything, the two of them ran away in a hurry.

.

Chu Congrong sneered in her heart. It seemed that the old man was afraid that he would be defeated, so he did not dare to choose to confront him head-on. As for the five yuan missing, I was afraid they wouldn't be able to come up with it for a while. Forget it, just treat it as a filial piety to the old man.

After everyone finished eating, Chu Congrong thought for a long time. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. It is necessary to explain the matter clearly to Chu Youxian, the head of the family. Since cheap daddy has the energy to make private decisions and give money away, he should have the energy. Face everyone.

So, the whole family crowded into Chu Youxian's house. Chu Youxian was trying hard to eat, his face looked a little unnatural.

"Dad, everyone agrees that it is necessary to talk to you!" Chu Congrong said seriously, "Excuse me, dad, why did you give the money to grandma privately?"

"I'm your father, are you trying to teach me a lesson?" Chu Youxian's tone was unhappy, and the fifth girl wanted to overturn the situation.

"Dad, you gave birth to me, but since you allowed me and my little grandma to sell me into the Li Mansion, everything has been settled! But I saved your life, so you can't use the big label of father-daughter ethics to deal with me.

Why are you giving away money that is our family's survival?" Chu Congrong said calmly, not being soft-hearted when dealing with the coward Bao Zi.

"My mother said we can't open the pot. I can't let your father starve to death. He is my father and I am his son. Raising him is the only way to raise him!" Chu Youxian said eloquently and angrily.

"There's nothing wrong with you wanting to be a filial son! Let's talk about it now. My mother has been married to you for more than ten years and has had children for more than ten years. She has never earned a penny. Are you a qualified husband? My fourth uncle is over thirty.

I don’t have a penny on my body, how can I start a family? Are you a qualified brother? My eldest sister was sold when she was seven years old, and her whereabouts are unknown now! I was lying on the ground dying, and my grandparents waited for me to die and took her to the ghost marriage! The third brother didn’t

Money talks about marriage, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi didn't get to go to school for a day, and they were almost sold to a perverted man! Do you ask yourself whether you are a qualified father? My own grandma died early, and you failed to be filial to her but turned against her enemy.

If you obey my words, do you dare to say that you are a qualified son? My aunt has not been in contact with us for a long time, are you a qualified brother? "

Chu Congrong felt that Chu Youxian was a completely ignorant loser. It seemed that she was ruthlessly tearing open the depths of his heart layer by layer, forcing him to look directly at the wound that had worsened to the point of suppuration. If you still don't wake up, then you can

This man is definitely hopeless.

Never mind him, I don't have the slightest fondness for this cheap dad, a man who is incompetent, cowardly, and foolishly loyal.

The others were silent, and Chu Congrong said everything they thought of and didn't expect.

Chu Youxian's face turned pale and he lay down without saying a word. His eyes were fixed on the roof, and his whole body was shaking. He didn't know whether he was angry or sad.

"I might as well tell you that the father you love so much in your heart originally planned to give Chu Youwen the money from selling your two sons to pay off his gambling debts, and not buy you any medicine! Fortunately, the perverted man was injured. You

Only my two sons were lucky enough to escape! Every sip of chicken soup and ginseng soup you drank was earned by your two sons and me! You can go back and beg me to continue being a good son, or you can divorce your mother.

!We don’t need a weak and incompetent father who allows others to sell his sons and daughters!”

Chu Congrong said all the harsh words, and went out to do his own business. The others had complicated expressions, but they didn't know what to say, and after a while they all walked out.

Ye walked to Chu Congrong, watched her daughter making small balls again, and asked in a low voice: "My daughter, you just said that to your father, is everything going to be okay?"

Chu Congrong stopped what she was doing and said, "Mom, what do you think I said wrong?"

Mr. Ye shook his head. Every word his daughter said came from her heart. She was afraid that her man would not be able to bear it and would have some thoughts.

"If he can figure it out, there is hope. If he can't figure it out, forget it. What if he doesn't recognize us? I lead my mother and Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi to eat and drink spicy food every day, isn't it delicious?" Chu Congrong said while using it.

With dirty hands, he took out four and a half taels of silver and handed it to Mr. Ye, saying that it would be returned from the compound.

Mrs. Ye was surprised and happy. She didn't expect that her daughter could really get the money back and give five more coins. Now the third brother's matter was settled.

"I just gave Third Uncle my silver. You only need to give Third Brother one tael of silver tomorrow and let him buy the bed. Remember to buy a few mosquito nets. The mosquitoes will suck up all the blood everyone eats." Chu Congrong decided.

It's better to leave a few taels of money for her. Judging from her attitude today, she should know the importance of money, unlike Chu Youxian, the big bun.

"Then...do you still care about your father's chicken soup?"

Mrs. Ye realized that she really couldn't see through this little girl. She had been with him all day long, so how could she conjure up another five taels to give to her third brother? Then wouldn't she have saved the five taels? Even if she gave it to Sanlang tomorrow,

One tael, there are still more than four taels left.
