Yuan and the others continued to be well behaved until after dinner.
When the second aunt, Xiao Yang, walked into the big house with a purse, Yuan and the others immediately became obedient.
The adults did not allow children in the family to lie against the wall and eavesdrop, so everyone could not help but follow little Yang into the house carrying a small stool.
My parents didn't even have the time to stop them.
I watched them go in, put down their small stools and sit in a pile.
Perhaps he was afraid of being chased out, so he sat down in the corner, trying to cover up his mistake.
Old Mrs. Yang: ...Do you still think you are quite hidden?
Li thought that they would be scolded by their mother-in-law, Old Yang, but in the end, nothing happened. Old Yang pretended not to see anything and asked Young Yang with her eyelids raised:
"What are you doing here?"
At this moment, there was a group of children sitting in rows behind Xiao Yang.
The three sisters-in-law, Li, Zhao and Wang, and the two uncles, Fu Dabai and Fu Sanbai, were all looking in at the door.
The father-in-law in the inner room of the big house also stuck his head out to watch the excitement. Even her two sons, who had recently been busy taking care of their fourth uncle and younger brother, slowly stuck their heads out of the window and looked at her with some concern and curiosity.
The mother-in-law was sitting on the kang, looking calm and composed, with her eyelids drooping, asking questions even though she knew the answer and was deliberately trying to embarrass her.
Little Yang tried to hold it in for a long time but couldn't utter a single word.
At the door of the second house, Fubao took one look at the crowded entrance of the main house and lost interest. He walked away, ready to go out and play for a while.
Wulang and Liulang had no choice but to follow her, but their expressions could not hide their longing for the big house.
Even the two wounded men in Room 4 couldn't help but put their heads close to the window and listen carefully.
Only Fu Erbai was sent to the county by Xiao Yang to find work, so he could not join in the fun.
As for other people, although they are not obvious at ordinary times, in fact, when there is a little excitement, everyone pricks up their ears and stretches their heads to listen and watch.
It’s just not as obvious as A Yuan’s. Today, the whole family was seduced by these kids and watched the fun openly.
Although little Yang was stupid, she still had some dignity. For a moment, not only her face, but even her neck turned red.
But I still have to say what I need to say, and I managed to utter a few human words:
"Mother, this is the money from selling the Ganoderma lucidum. It is also our second wife's private money. We are all family. Use this money to buy medicine for our fourth brother. It is a small token of our love.
After all, it was Dalang and his men who ran into the mountains and provoked the wild boars, so it’s our fault too. If it’s not enough, we can get more together.”
Young Mrs. Yang never mentioned that Fubao insisted that Dalang and the others go into the mountains, but it was true that the wild boar did meet them. But it was hard to say why it came down the mountain. After all, it looked too strange, so Old Mrs. Yang didn't dwell on it.
He weighed the purse, opened it and took a look, then fell silent. He stared at Xiao Yang for a long time with a dim gaze.
If time goes on, she will confess if she looks at Xiao Yang for one more second.
But Old Yang just looked away and said, "Go away."
Little Yang ran out.
It was not exciting at all. Grandma didn't even hit anyone or curse at anyone, but everyone suddenly felt very disappointed.
It was not until Mrs. Yang shook her purse and dropped two small silver ingots weighing five taels that everyone became alert and looked at them curiously.
Fu Sanbai raised his eyebrows and kept winking at Zhao and his elder brother Fu Dabai, but everyone could only see his excitement and could not understand what he wanted to say at all.
Fu Dabai roughly guessed it, and Lao San probably thought the same as him, which must be:
Wow! The second brother’s family really hid a lot of money. They must have hidden the big chunk of money. If they don’t hand it all in, maybe they are really thinking about splitting up the family business!
When she went to bed at night, Li couldn't help but ask, "What if the second house really wants to be divided?
Can we build a wall in the yard to separate them? The fourth brother's house and the kitchen are both in the east room!
Or should we just divide it up? Live in one yard and each live separately? "
Li felt awkward just thinking about that scene, but she couldn't build a separate house for them, right?
Fu Dabai yawned and said, "Don't worry about it. As long as our parents are alive, we won't split up the family. If they really plan to split up the family with the money they hid, mom will definitely strip them of everything and throw them out.
It doesn't make sense that they have been sharing the same pot for so many years. There are so many people in their house who eat and occupy a lot of space. Now they want to start a new business by hiding some money. That's like a dream.
I think the family has really raised them for nothing all these years!"
Li thought about it and lay down relaxedly.
Fu Dabai stretched out his arms and hugged his wife. Just as he was about to say something else, Yuan poked his head out from the inner room timidly:
"I heard mice squeaking, I was scared, I wanted to sleep with you!"
Li instantly abandoned Fu Dabai to make room for her daughter. A Yuan happily crawled into his mother's arms, slept between the two of them, and pushed away his father's outstretched arm.
"I don't want you to hug me!"
Fu Dabai: ...Who wants to hug you? Is it you I want to hug? ! !
Yuan didn’t understand his father’s hardship and slept happily until dawn.
Not long after I got up, I heard someone outside the yard calling:
"Fubao, come out and play!"
A Yuan went out to take a look out of curiosity. Outside the door was the only grandson of the village chief, Mo Goudan from the second room, who was also the younger brother of Mo Lianniang and Mo Nian'niang. He was five years old this year.
He usually stays at home and is rarely let out to play. Yuan has seen him a few times, but they have never spoken much.
There were several children from the village following Mo Goudan, all of whom were related to the family of Village Chief Mo. All of them were a little older than Mo Goudan. They said they were playing with him, but most of them came to look after him and take care of him, following the adults' instructions.
Fubao walked out slowly and said to Mo Goudan, "Brother Goudan, I haven't eaten yet, so I can't go out to play yet."
Mo Goudan patted his chest generously and said, "I have food at home, come over to eat, my uncle also bought me a lot of toys, we can play together."
Fubao hesitated for a moment, nodded, turned around and said, "Sixth brother, tell mom that I'm going to go to Brother Goudan's house to play, so you don't have to save any food for me!"
Having said that, Fubao and Mo Goudan ran away hand in hand.
Liu Lang ran back to the second room to talk, and Wu Lang quickly chased after him.
A Yuan looked at the free Fubao with envy. It was great that he could go out and play early in the morning.
When he turned around, Zhao was holding the tiger's head by the ears and scolding:
"What time is it? You didn't eat breakfast or wash your face so early in the morning, and when you saw the door open, you wanted to go out. You two might as well not go home!"
The tiger-headed and tiger-like boy looked so pitiful as he cried out in pain.
A Yuan touched his little ears and whispered quietly: Fortunately, I am a good boy!
After all, A Yuan's mother, Li, would also pull his ears when she was angry.
It’s just that Yuan is very timid. Although he likes to watch the fun, he is not like a tiger who runs out and disappears, so he rarely gets punished.
But Yuan was sure that if she ran out to play early in the morning and planned to go to her friend's house for dinner, she would be pulled by the ears even when she was three years old.
But Fubao was obviously different. Second aunt was not angry, and asked Sixth Brother to bring some eggs to accompany Fubao. However, Yuan heard Second aunt told Sixth Brother:
"You and Wu Lang are not allowed to eat at other people's homes. It's easy to annoy people. Put the eggs down, come back, eat, and then go to look after your sister. Do you understand?"
Rokuro nodded obediently and ran away with the eggs.
After seeing enough, A Yuan yawned and went to wash her face. After breakfast, A Yuan wanted to lie down and take a rest, but Mo Lianniang and Mo Nian's mother suddenly came to find her.
Speaking of which, ever since Yuan started digging motherwort, he has had no time to play with the two of them. He even rarely has time to join the chat group of old ladies at the entrance of the village.
When they first met, the first thing the two girls said was:
"Yuan, you know what? Your sister is so annoying!"
Yuan: Eh???
