Nuan's mother was stunned for a moment when she heard this. After she realized what her little daughter said, her expression became a little complicated.
Is this clever and eccentric little girl really her daughter? Why does she feel a little strange?
Nuan Bao'er knew how risky it was to expose her true nature in front of the original owner's family! However, if she didn't take the risk, her family might be left out of the plot and become cannon fodder at any time. She couldn't care less.
Ergouzi had already taken out all the things in the kang cabinet and spread them out on the kang, but he didn't see any wine jug at all!
His face turned pale in an instant.
It's over, it's over. I promised the director that I would bring him the wine jug. Now I haven't even seen the wine jug. How am I going to explain this to the director?
This officer, a transferee from the capital, came from a well-off family. He had seen a lot and loved collecting antiques. He had been commissioned as a soldier because his father had gifted him a porcelain bowl, a family heirloom. It was because the bowl had been so well-loved by its owner that the officer assigned him three followers to carry out the mission.
"Why, you can't find him? Then, Zhang family boy, are you saying that the charges you brought against my son are invalid?"
When grandma and grandpa rushed in, they saw that Ergouzi had found nothing. Although they found it strange, they knew that now was not the time to ask too many questions, so they immediately turned their attention to Ergouzi.
Er Gouzi forced a smile on his face that was uglier than crying, and quickly nodded and bowed to apologize.
"Uncle, Auntie, I'm sorry! This time, this time I didn't do it on purpose, it's just that we received a letter of complaint, so we had to come here, I..."
"Fuck you! You beat my man up like that and you're just sorry and you want to kick us out? You're dreaming! 200 yuan, give us 200 yuan for medical expenses and nutrition and we'll let it go, otherwise we'll go to the police station and report the case!"
Ergouzi was about to cry.
He had only been a soldier for a few days. Even if he had made a lot of money, it was still not 100 yuan! Now Liu San's wife was asking for 200 yuan from him. Wasn't this asking for their whole family's life?
"Third sister-in-law, here, here, I came out in a hurry and really didn't bring any money, look..."
"No money, okay!"
As soon as Nuan Ma said this, Er Gouzi's sullen face suddenly broke into a smile.
"If you don't have money, you can write an IOU! After the autumn harvest, we can come to your house to get the grain!"
Snap!
Ergouzi's legs went weak and he fell to his knees!
Ergouzi's useless appearance was really embarrassing to watch. Nuan Ma was not his aunt, so she would not indulge Ergouzi. She took out the little brother's pencil and notebook from the kang cabinet and scribbled a few times, and the IOU was finished.
Although Nuan Ma never went to school, she learned to read from Nuan Ba, who graduated from junior high school, after she got married. She can read and write simple words.
Er Gouzi went to school just to avoid going to school and just to spend his days. He could only recognize a few of the characters written on the IOU, and he could only guess at the rest.
Er Gouzi didn't want to sign, but was afraid of being beaten, so he could only look to his sister for help.
After receiving the look from her brother, the aunt didn't care about the pain on her face anymore, she rushed in and blocked Ergouzi behind her.
"What are you doing? We're all family, is there any need to make such a big deal out of it? The third child isn't missing any limbs, why should he demand 200 yuan in compensation?"
"What! We're a family now? Didn't you always say you wanted to cut off ties with our family?"
My aunt was choked by grandma, and her pig-like face turned blue and white, which was very ugly.
"Alright! You want an IOU? Then let's divide the family property first! As long as you divide the family property, I'll sign this IOU for my brother!"
