Chapter 33: If you walk by the river often, you will get your shoes wet.



"You said the second one was at the secret door!"

Old Yang stood up and looked at Fu Dabai without blinking, hoping that she had heard wrongly.

But Fu Dabai can only say:

"I think the second brother is definitely not doing that. He doesn't have any money. He is probably working as an errand boy or a security guard. But if he does the job well, he can earn a lot of money.

So if you say it’s a wine shop, it’s not entirely a lie, it does sell wine and food.”

Old Mrs. Yang was almost mad with rage, but she still had a trace of rationality and asked her eldest son:

"Have your friends ever taken you there?"

"No, no," Fu Dabai immediately shook his head and told the truth:

"I just heard them say that when they passed by the county and saw the red lanterns hanging outside the door, they never went in."

This sounded true. Old Yang's remaining rationality did not collapse. She looked at her bewildered grandson and said:

"Kid, get out. Your parents are causing trouble, and you shouldn't be dealing with anything at your age. Go and tell Yang Xiaocao to come back.

I will also let her know where she has sent her master to!!”

Dalang walked out confused and worried.

In the second room.

Little Yang was happily coaxing Fubao and didn't look worried at all.

Erlang, Laimei and Xianmei also surrounded Xiao Yang and amused her younger sister. They were so happy and didn't worry about anything, as if they could ignore everything as long as their younger sister was there.

Seeing that they didn't seem to be worried about their father at all, Dalang suddenly felt like losing his temper and wanted to throw Fubao out. But as he walked closer, Fubao saw him and made a "yay" sound as if calling for his big brother.

Dalang's anger suddenly dissipated, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on her again.

"Mom, grandma is calling you over." Dalang tried hard to look away and said with his head down.

But he felt a little annoyed. Why did he go to see Fubao again when the business hadn't been discussed yet?

Little Yang got off the kang somewhat unwillingly and handed Fubao to her eldest son. She put on her shoes angrily while muttering:

"What are you doing now? I've told her everything I know! I finally have some time to spend with my daughter and now you're calling me again. It's so annoying!

When I have money, I will move far away from them and see how the old lady manages me!"

Little Yang put on her shoes, turned around and said to Fubao with a smile: "Bao'er and your brothers stay well, mother will be back soon!

Mom is very busy now, Baoer, just hold on a little longer, and we will move out when we have money. Then Mom will be with us Fubao every day, okay?"

Fubao curled up quietly in his brother's arms, sucking his fingers as he listened to what was said, as if he really understood it. After Xiao Yang finished speaking, he nodded and said "Ah!", as if he agreed.

Little Yang was very happy: "Oh, our Bao'er is so cute, Fubao also agrees with what mother said, right?

Then parents must make good money and move our Fubao out as soon as possible!"

Fubao responded with an “Ah!” again.

Young Yang kissed her adorably, and after coaxing her daughter, she instructed her sons:

"You four should take good care of your sister. Don't leave her alone or go out to play. Do you understand?"

Jiro nodded.

Wulang Laimei and Liulang Xianmei also spoke in baby voices like little adults, puffing out their chests and saying:

"We are definitely optimistic about the younger sister."

After saying this, he followed his mother with sparkling eyes, like a dog longing to be patted on the head by its owner.

But Mrs. Yang had already turned and left, so Erlang walked over silently and closed the door.

Laimei and Xianmei's puffed out chests suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and their shoulders shrugged. They returned to their sister with a bit of loss, and then cheered up and circled around her attentively.

My sister was very considerate and babbled to them in words that no one could understand.

Dalang tried hard to avoid his sister's gaze and ignored his mother's uncomfortable words. Seeing that his sister and Xianmei were surrounding him, he simply put Fubao on the kang and let them play with her.

Erlang came over and asked him, "What happened? Do grandma and the others have any letter from dad?"

Dalang raised his head and sighed.

In the big house.

Little Yang almost screamed, "Impossible!"

Old Yang raised his eyelids:

"Scream louder, let the neighbors hear where your master is, then go out and beat drums and gongs to tell them that your master was ordered away by you!"

Little Yang shut up immediately, but still a little unconvinced:

"How could my fourth uncle be doing that kind of business? If so, how could he let Dalang and Erlang go? It must be that my eldest brother made a mistake!"

Fu Dabai curled his lips nonchalantly and said:

"Nonsense, it's easy to have problems when you have older people running errands in that kind of business. You need children, don't you? Go find out for yourself if you don't believe me."

Fu Dabai gulped down the water in the bowl, wiped his mouth and was about to leave.

Old Yang quickly called him:

"Boss! Even if she's stupid, you can't be as stupid as her! If she says kick her ass, then kick her ass!"

Fu Dabai said unhappily:

"Even if I tell her, she won't believe me. She treats it as if I'm talking nonsense. So why should I help her out? It's a thankless job!"

Little Yang was panicked, but she knew what was right and what was wrong. She knew that if this was true, she would have to rely on Fu Dabai for help, so she quickly said:

"No, no, that's not what I meant.

I just couldn’t believe it for a moment. My mother said that my fourth uncle was an honest man…”

"Doesn't your father still think that your stepmother is an honest person? How did you live back then? Don't you know it yourself?"

Old Madam Yang rolled her eyes and interrupted her, looking at her eldest son and asking:

"What do you think we should do about this?"

Fu Dabai got angry and said:

"What can we do? We can ask around. If we can keep it a secret, we can prevent it from getting out. If he's still here, let him go home immediately. I'm just afraid..."

He wasn't willing to come back or wasn't anywhere.

Fu Dabai didn't finish his words, but old Mrs. Yang understood.

Old Mrs. Yang was also a little worried, thinking that neither of them might be very good.

Little Yang asked in bewilderment, "Ah? What are you afraid of?"

Old Mrs. Yang frowned with a headache. She really didn't want to tell her, but she still broke it down and told her what happened.

She also told her not to panic, to keep her mouth shut and not to talk nonsense to her sons, and not to send messages to her parents' home to ask about it. The fewer people who knew about this, the better. If the second son was there, she would ask the eldest son and others to call the person back.

At the end, Old Lady Yang gave a stern warning: "If you cause any more trouble before this is over, I will beat you to death! That's it! Get out!"

Only then did Young Mrs. Yang return to the house feeling uneasy and dazed. No one knew how much she listened to Old Mrs. Yang's words.

Old Mrs. Yang felt worried when she saw her, so she could only tell her eldest son:

"Tell your wife, and tell the third and fourth sons' wives to keep a close eye on Yang Xiaocao and don't let her cause any trouble again."

Fu Dabai agreed, then fixed his eyes on the silver and looked at Old Yang expectantly.

The family rule is that 70% of the money earned goes to the transaction, and the rest belongs to each branch. The second branch pays 10% more because of Fubao, but now Mrs. Yang has not seen any money from the second branch.

Whose son is it, only he knows. Old Yang scolded with a smile:

"That's not much."

Then he grabbed a piece of silver worth a little more than one tael and stuffed it into Fu Dabai's hand, and whispered:

"Don't let the other rooms know."

Fu Dabai spoke a few more words to Old Mrs. Yang before slipping away contentedly.

Even though Old Yang had cheated Fu Dabai in the past, his kindness to Fu Dabai over the years was genuine. He was even nicer to him out of guilt.

Therefore, Fu Dabai had no resentment towards Old Yang. The relationship between the mother and daughter was very good, sometimes like brothers. Fu Dabai was happy to chat with Old Yang about everything, but in recent years he only reported good news and not bad news.

Among the several branches in the family, the second branch is thinking about saving money for her own use, the first branch relies on subsidies from Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Li's family and the money that Fu Dabai gets from time to time, and the third branch is more cunning.

All in all, only the fourth room is the most honest.

Fu Dabai and Fu Sanbai are both smart and know everything about family matters.

The old Yang couple knew a lot, but they were just too lazy to care. As the saying goes, if you are not stupid or deaf, you are not qualified to be a father-in-law.

In fact, even if the second wife didn't have this idea, old Yang was prepared to secretly give some money to him and the fourth wife.

Old Mrs. Yang looked at the two bags of copper coins in the money box and sighed. She poured out one of them and closed the box.

The old man sighed and said, "The children have grown up!"

In the big room.

Fu Dabai was just handing the money to Li when he brought up this matter again.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li grabbed him.

Fu Dabai screamed "Ah!" and broke away from her in annoyance and asked:

"What are you doing?"

Li was even more angry than him:

"You know a lot about the secret room! So, you are familiar with your brothers, right?"

Fu Dabai's face froze, and he stammered in defense:

"I just passed by and took a few glances, I didn't do anything!

ah!"

Li twisted his face with a twisted expression, while Fu Dabai howled and argued:

"You weren't there then!! I didn't marry you then!

Ouch!!!!

I was wrong!!!! "
