When he arrived at his parents' house, Erhuazi saw his eldest brother sitting in the main room. He strode forward and asked, "Brother, has all your money been taken away by your sister-in-law?"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the family was quite surprised.
Seeing that Dadongzi remained silent, his mother pushed him and said, "Last year's dividend money was taken back to her natal family by Mother Shugen?"
"Is what the second brother said true? Brother, please speak up," Sihaizi said anxiously, "If you don't speak, your parents will be very anxious."
"Why are you so anxious? Anyway, we have already separated. What Shugen Niang took was my money," Dadongzi said, "It won't affect anything for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, his father slapped him on the back of the head, "You brat, what did you say? You have no food to eat, and your mother doesn't worry about you? She raised you so big, how can she really watch you?
Starved to death?"
"Yes, brother, what you said is going too far!"
After saying that, Erhuazi couldn't help but ask: "Speaking of which, brother, you don't have a penny, how can you still dare to bet with that Chen Dayong? What will you do if you lose?"
His third brother explained to him, "This bet was not actually between the eldest brother and Chen Dayong. It could be regarded as a bet between Lingbao and him."
After hearing what he said about what happened in the morning, Erhuazi laughed and said, "So that's what happened! I also vaguely guessed that this matter was related to Lingbao. It seems that the Chen family is going to suffer today. Let's
There’s a good show to watch!”
Seeing that the second brother was not surprised at all, Sihaizi asked: "Second brother, aren't you surprised? Do you believe that Lingbao can control thunder?"
"Believe me! Is there something I haven't mentioned to you?" Erhuazi asked, then told the whole story about Lingbao's stun of the educated youth.
"Has something like this ever happened before? Second brother, you never said anything before."
"I didn't know what to say at that time. Oh, anyway, since Lingbao proposed this bet first, we will definitely win."
Shen Su'e brought the topic back to her eldest daughter-in-law, "Bet I'm not worried about this. Now I just want to know, Dadongzi, how do you plan to deal with your daughter-in-law's affairs? You can't just ignore it, right?"
"
"I don't know. Anyway, I don't want to pick her up," Dadongzi said. "If she admits her mistake, she will come back."
His mother frowned and said, "I'm not trying to scare you. Your wife has an older brother and three younger brothers. Two of them haven't gotten married yet. Her parents are very smart. Maybe all your money has been stolen."
Her parents have taken her away!"
"Shugen mother is not that stupid. She took the money just to make me angry and would not give it to her parents," Dadongzi said, "unless she really doesn't want to live anymore."
"I think it's a long night and a lot of dreams. It's best for you to pick her up as soon as possible. The money will be safe at home. That's your dividend for a whole year. It's more than two hundred yuan. It's no joke." Shen Su'e said seriously.
Erhuazi nodded, "Yes, brother, how will you live if you lose all your money for a whole year? You need money for everything, including kerosene, soap, salt, and other things.
Like shoes or something.
Your shoes look like they are going to be worn out. Even if you don’t buy Jiefang shoes, you still need to buy needlework for the soles and cloth for the uppers. If you don’t have shoes, how can you go to work in the production team? The ditch was not repaired last year, and it needs to be repaired this year.
Opening up wasteland."
"Hey, let's wait for two more days," Dadongzi reluctantly compromised. "If the child's mother and Shugen Tugen haven't come back in two days, I will pick them up."
Unconsciously, it was evening. Erhuazi hurried home to cook for his wife. He said goodbye: "Mom, dad, I'm leaving. Brother, I'll take care of my sister-in-law's affairs. If there's anything I can do to help you,
Tell me!"
Dadongzi responded "Yes", as if he suddenly thought of something, he chased his second brother into the yard and grabbed his second brother, "Well, there is something I want to ask you..."
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Erhuazi asked curiously: "Brother, what is going on? You ask quickly, why are you half-talking and then not saying anything?"
"That's right..." Dadongzi pursed his lips, "Did Mom give you a can of lard on the first day of the new year?"
"ah?"
"My wife said it."
Erhuazi was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth and said "Ouch", "Sister-in-law, she won't quarrel with you just because of this, right?"
"Tell me first, is this the case?"
Seeing the serious look on his eldest brother's face, Erhuazi said truthfully: "Buy it! Our families have been separated. How could my mother send me oil?"
"Bought?" Dadongzi was surprised.
His second brother nodded quickly, "Yes, I spent 2 cents to buy a tael of oil, just two spoons, and it will be almost gone after frying the shredded potatoes!"
Dadongzi was puzzled, "Why did Shugen Niang say a big jar..."
"I just put two spoons of oil in an enamel cup that day. I happened to meet my sister-in-law. She didn't see the inside, so she thought my cup was full of oil."
After saying that, Erhuazi apologized: "I really didn't expect the quarrel was because of this matter. I was blamed. I should have made it clear at the time."
"It has nothing to do with you. She feels uncomfortable. Even if she doesn't leave on the first day of the new year, she will make a fuss about returning to her parents' home sooner or later."
The two brothers chatted for a while, and after Erhuazi left, Dadongzi felt that the grievance and sourness that had been suppressed in his heart had disappeared.
It turns out that both parents treat them the same and do not favor the second brother more.
Walking back into the house, he smiled and said, "Mom, Dad, I'm leaving too."
"Why are you leaving?" Shen Su'e hurriedly stood up and grabbed him, "I'll stay here today. I'll sleep with your third brother. The bed in his room is spacious."
"Isn't this bad? We have already separated..."
"If you had food, drink, a wife and children at home, I would have driven you away a long time ago. Now that you have nothing at home, why don't you go back and eat air?"
Afraid that her eldest son would be stubborn and unwilling to stay, Shen Su'e said to her fourth son: "Sihaizi, come here and hold your eldest brother, don't let him go!"
Sihaizi responded "Hey" and stepped forward to grab his elder brother's arm.
Before going to the kitchen, Shen Su'e said again, "Sanleizi, Wuchaozi, you two should also watch him carefully, lest he run away in a hurry."
"Mom, you are really partial to my elder brother," Wu Chaozi said sourly, "If I separate from you in the future, I don't know if you will be so kind to me."
"If you keep talking nonsense, don't eat tonight."
"Look, I'm not allowed to eat before I even said anything," Wu Chaozi walked to his father, "Dad, is Mom being partial?"
His father patted his head and said, "Okay, brat, if you can be more diligent and talk less and work more, your mother will definitely favor you in the future."
"Forget it, it's really hard to get my mother to favor me," Wu Chaozi said, "As long as my sister likes me the most, that's fine. I'll go see if Lingbao wakes up."
It takes a lot of spiritual power to bring down thunder. In order to scare the Chen brothers, Lingbao dropped several thunders in succession in the morning, which caused a serious shortage of spiritual power in her body.
In order to be able to thunder again at night and punish the bad guys who lied and stole ginseng, she must restore her spiritual power in time through sleep.
While sleeping, Lingbao felt as if something in his body was breaking through the bottleneck.
"Lingbao? Lingbao, are you still sleeping?" Wu Chaozi opened the curtain as usual and wanted to ask Lingbao to get up. But just as he was about to call "Lingbao" again, he was shocked by the scene he saw in front of him.
Mouth, speechless.
The beautiful little girl on the bed turned into a mud child, covered in dirt, and the mud on her face bubbled from time to time, like boiling water.
