"Okay, I'll go! Cao Xinlian, don't bluff me!"

"Don't worry, we are brothers and sisters, if you don't hurt me, I will naturally not hurt you!" Cao Shi advised: "Also, my sister advises you, don't give me fifty taels of silver every year. Tell your brother-in-law about what happened, your brother-in-law is not the same as before..." Speaking of this, Cao's eyes darkened, as if wronged, sad, and unwilling.

A variety of complicated emotions were intertwined. How did Cao Hui, who only knew about eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, playing hooligans and rogues, understood, and didn't say anything. When he thought that he would soon have money, he happily walked away with his hands behind his back. Even his own niece, Gu Tingting, didn't even ask a question.

Seeing that his unsatisfactory younger brother had gone away, Mr. Cao's heart filled with all kinds of feelings, some regrets, some annoyances, and some incomprehensible thoughts. Not out, uncomfortable tight.

This year, the fifty taels of silver that should have been due to Cao Hui had already been given thirty taels during the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now there are only twenty taels left. Although more than half of it has been reduced, for Mr. Cao, who doesn't even have a penny, these twenty taels are nothing short of an astronomical number.

In the past, the family had more than ten acres of land leased to other farmers, and they could receive a considerable amount of rent every year, which was more than enough for the fifty taels. But nowadays, there is an old saying that says that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. This is no money, how can I give it to Cao Hui.

That Cao Hui's mouth, only money can stop it, if he really said it...

Cao shi didn't even dare to think about it, he sighed, and lay on the bed weakly, his body hurt as if it had been run over by a car. How could these twenty taels of silver be adjusted!

Suddenly, when she thought of Gu Tingting sleeping next to her, Cao warned: "Tingting, no one can say what I said to your uncle today, you know?"

Gu Tingting had never seen Mrs. Cao look so fierce before, and she felt aggrieved and scared. The knee that fell off the kang just now still hurts, but Gu Tingting didn't even dare to say it. There have been too many things happening at home in the past few days. The injuries on Mrs. Cao's body were all beaten by the father, and the father had to leave the mother again.

Gu Tingting didn't know what divorce meant, but then the troubled Liang Dabao came to humiliate her and said that if her father divorced her, then she would have a stepmother. to eat, and not to wear clothes. How could she make new clothes for herself like her own mother, and comb her beautiful braids, Gu Tingting was afraid when she thought that she would have a bad-hearted stepmother again.

She doesn't want her mother to leave, her mother is leaving, what can she do! Gu Tingting was extremely frightened in her heart these few days, and seeing Cao's bruised nose and swollen face from Gu Chuanshou's beating, and her colorful face, Gu Tingting was even more frightened.

Originally huddled under the quilt, she twitched and started to shed tears, but when she heard Cao's warning to herself, Gu Tingting didn't dare to say half a word, and hurriedly stretched her little head out of the quilt and saw Cao's With a warning look, Gu Tingting hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, I will never tell anyone!" As if she had received a promise, Cao's heart felt a little more at ease. No one could believe it.

In the Westinghouse on the side, Mrs. Sun pricked up her ears and listened to Cao Hui shouting in the yard to shake out the good things about Mrs. Cao. She wanted to hear it, but Mrs. Cao called him away.

Mrs. Sun wondered in her heart, did Mrs. Cao do something and was caught by Cao Hui? Otherwise why would he say that.

It's just a pity, no matter how you listen, you can't hear any sound. It seems that the two of them lowered their voices and spoke in secret.

After finally waiting for the door in the main room to open again, Mrs. Sun looked out through the gap in the door, and saw Cao Hui with his hands behind his back, humming a little song, taking eight-character steps, and swaggeringly came out of the main room, like that. , not to mention how proud it is.

It's completely different from the one who stood outside shouting angrily just now! Sun's heart kept beating gongs and drums, and he had any doubts in his heart, but he couldn't say it, and he didn't dare to say it. At this time, Gu Chuanlu had already taken Gu Ziwen out, and there was no one in the family who could discuss or talk about it. .

That little bit of curiosity was like a mouse's paw, scratching Sun's heart.

There, Gu Ningan and Gu Ningping went back with water, Gu Ningan still looked uneasy, Gu Xiaowan was busy in the kitchen, and didn't notice Gu Ningan's expression at all.

There was almost no water in the water tank in the kitchen, and two buckets of water were not enough. The two Gu Ning'an brothers ran to fetch water again. Halfway through the road, I ran into an acquaintance again.

This time, it was the uncle Gu Chuanlu and the eldest cousin Gu Ziwen.

Under the guidance of Gu Xiaowan, Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping knew to respect their elders, even if that elder is related to you by blood, but they don't care about your life or death at all. Although they have no feelings in their hearts, they must show respect on the surface . Because the society of this era does not respect the elderly, it is a crime of great treason.

Although Gu Xiaowan hated the Gu Chuanlu family to death in her heart, her superficial skills were top-notch.

Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping saw that Gu Chuanlu brought Gu Ziwen to the front, although they didn't want to say hello, but after thinking of what their sister said, they could only put down the bucket in their hands and called out respectfully, "Uncle, cousin..."

Gu Chuanlu saw these two children from a long distance. Since the last time when there was a small incident about the grave on the mountain, he has never seen this person in the second room of the second child, even the last time when the third child asked After leaving the Cao family, these babies were not picked up.

I didn't expect it, but today

met.

The weather is very good today, the sun is shining brightly, and the person who shines is warm. Since he has just carried a bucket of water, his body is warm and his face is flushed.

Gu Chuanlu looked at the two children, and the look in his eyes became colder and colder.

The two children in front of them were of average height, and they even looked exactly the same.
