Chapter 26 Twenty-eight taels!
The chest of drawers is placed next to the bed and used as a bedside table.
Now the room looks a lot better.
After placing a large table and benches in the middle of the room, there is also a place to sit when visiting the fourth room.
Now, Mrs. Zhou was sitting at the big table, accompanying her son, and chatting and laughing with everyone.
"Dinner is ready. We'll start eating when the second and third sons come back. Lin! You are a clever and skillful person. You are good at housework and take good care of your husband..."
Lin Shiqi was already numb from laughing.
She didn't know how many times she had heard Mrs. Zhou praise her today.
No matter what the topic was, Mrs. Zhou would always turn the conversation to her and Zhou Lang.
Either praising Zhou Lang or praising her.
They are all praised to bits.
Mrs. Zhou didn't say that to her before. She used to scold her for being so quiet and she thought it would be easier to use a pig than her...
"Mom, if we talk about who takes the best care of my husband, then I can only be ranked second, and you are the first. If you hadn't decided to treat my husband, he would still be a fool now! My husband and I are grateful to you..."
Flattery is mutual.
Wang was outside the house and didn't come in.
It’s not that I’m afraid of being scolded by Mrs. Zhou.
Today, Mrs. Zhou was happy and didn't scold anyone.
She couldn't hear Mrs. Zhou and the eloquent Lin flattering each other, which made her feel sick.
"Mom, my second brother is back. He seems to be looking for you..."
She interrupted the people in the room.
Zhou Laoer has already entered the door.
Mrs. Zhou thought that Zhou Laoer had come back to give her the silver, so she stood up happily.
Getting ready to go back to the house, "Old Two is back, it's time to set the table, the rest of you go set the table."
Who knew that Zhou Laoer suddenly fell to his knees on the ground.
"Mom, please beat me to death!"
Mrs. Zhou was startled.
Everyone was also confused.
Mrs. Zhou felt her eyelids twitching a little, and shouted, "Stand up and talk. A man's knees are made of gold. Why are you kneeling?"
Lin Shiqi also found it strange.
The people in the second and first rooms are honest people and rarely do anything strange, except that they try too hard to have a son.
Zhou Laoer couldn't get up.
He lowered his head and said, "Mom, I have lost all the money I earned from selling mountain products today..."
Mrs. Zhou was horrified. "My son, did you meet robbers? Or what happened? Where is the third son?"
Wang was also speechless, "Second brother, how much silver did you lose from the sale? Where is the silver?"
This money!
Old Man Zhou had privately promised the eldest wife and her husband that he would use the money from selling the mountain products to help Dalang study.
Because Mrs. Zhou used her private pension money to treat the fourth wife's illness.
Wang was not convinced and went to complain to Old Man Zhou. Old Man Zhou said that he would sell the mountain products and give the money to their eldest wife.
Old man Zhou said it was around thirty taels.
They have already figured out how to use it.
Now, it’s gone?
The sky is falling!
Zhou Laoer bit his lip and said, "No, no, I didn't encounter any robbers." He found it difficult to speak.
"Where is the silver gone?" Only then did Mrs. Zhou notice that Zhou Laoer was evasive and embarrassed.
There were no injuries on his body, so he probably wasn't robbed.
"Stolen by your third brother?"
Among all the people in the Zhou family, only Zhou Laosan is slippery and likes to mess around. He also knows some questionable people outside and is a gambler. He gets carried away when he has nothing to do. He once made a bet with someone in the village and lost all his money. He went home naked.
These are all things he can do.
Just when we were talking about Zhou Laosan, we mentioned Cao Cao and here comes Cao Cao.
"Mom, please don't wrongly accuse me! I didn't take it. We were lucky this time at the county market and sold all our things. We made a total of 28 taels of silver. I wanted to use a few coins to buy a meat bun, but my second brother wouldn't give it to me! We didn't encounter any robbers on the road. With me, Zhou Laosan, protecting us, the robbers would have watched us carefully..."
It was Zhou Laosan.
Zhou Laosan's outer robe and shoes were gone, his face and nose were bruised and swollen, and no one knew where he had been beaten.
Prove your innocence.
When Wang heard this, she shrieked, "Twenty-eight silver coins? They're all gone? Second brother?"
Twenty-eight taels!
Those were all promised by Old Man Zhou to her son for his education!
What a huge sum of money!
Mrs. Zhou was also anxious, "Second brother, tell me, what's going on?"
Zhou Laoer's face turned red like a pig's liver, and he stammered a few words after a long while, "Mom, I, I'll use it to buy magic pills to eat..."
"What?" Mrs. Zhou thought she had misheard at first.
So do others.
Mrs. Zhou asked again, "What did you buy to eat?"
"God, magic pill!" Zhou Laoer was forced into a corner, and he told the whole truth in one sentence.
Everyone in the room was stunned.
Lin Shiqi and his wife looked at each other in confusion, what a guy!
Good job!
They were afraid that the villagers would be deceived, so they put on such a show in front of everyone.
As a result, the Zhou family fell into the trap.
It's hard to guard against!
Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she was shaking. "You, you... you are a bastard! Your father said you were honest, and we all trusted you, so we let you keep the money and didn't let the third brother get involved. In the end, you actually did something like this!"
Zhou Laosan stared at the side with his eyes wide open.
"Second brother, you really can't judge a person by his appearance! You are so willing to spend it! You used it to buy a magic pill. If I had known earlier, you would have given it to me to satisfy my desire..."
Liu pulled him aside and he shut his mouth angrily.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on Zhou Laoer.
Wang covered her mouth and said, "Second brother, are you kidding us? Why did you use the money at home to buy magic pills? There is no disease or disaster in your second room."
Having said that, she suddenly looked up and accused Lin Shiqi.
"Is it you two again? You two secretly instructed him to secretly take the silver to buy the magic pills for Fourth Brother? Is that right? You want to stabilize your condition, right?"
Lin Shiqi was blamed for no reason. "Sister-in-law, you are wrongly accusing us. We didn't do that! My husband's illness has been cured. He doesn't need to take medicine anymore."
Zhou Lang looked calm, "Second brother, why is this happening? Is there any reason? Were you deceived by Dr. Gong?"
In full view of the public.
Zhou Laoer was forced to become anxious.
It collapsed.
He began to kowtow to Zhou Pozi and apologize, "Mother, please beat me to death. Ruan Niang and I only want to have a son in this life. You can let us be your slaves. Doctor Gong said that if we take the magic pill, we can have as many sons as we want. Mother, our son deserves to die. If he can't give birth to a son, he deserves to die!"
A grown man lost all his dignity and kowtowed with tears streaming down his face.
Lin Shiqi and Zhou Lang looked at each other.
They had seen big scenes before, but they had never seen a scene like this...
Could a man be so humble as to fail to give birth to a son?
Whether a child is a boy or a girl is beyond human control.
Also, isn’t it good that my daughter is different?
Is it necessary to have a son to complete life? Is she really that crazy?
