Chapter 61 Xinbao's Big Treasure

Tang Laoye had no choice but to shake his head and walk out.

Mr. Tang Ye's medical skills are very good. Even people from the city sometimes come to see him. However, he is old and doesn't want to see patients anymore, so he returns to live in his hometown. He is usually very dedicated to the villagers, never charges for consultations, and doesn't care much about the money for medicine. He has a good relationship with people and is extremely respected in the village.

Although he himself did not care about it, many villagers stood up for him. This time, Mrs. Liu really aroused public outrage.

If my second brother were to say, this old lady Liu is really stupid.

Although there are many people in this world who need to face forward rather than backward, there is no need to be so ungrateful.

Not to mention that there is a patient in her house now, she herself is also in a very bad condition and just got beaten...she might need help from her someday.

He didn't even do a favor? How could he be so careless to offend a doctor? Didn't he think about what would happen if he needed him in the future? Cry and beg again? Thinking about it again, he realized that Tang Laoye had a good temper and was a gentleman, which meant that he was easy to bully for Mrs. Liu.

The weak bully the strong, and this kind of people are afraid of them! Someone outside called out, "Erlang! Erlang!"

The second brother calmed down and stood up: "Uncle San? What's the matter?"

The man outside pointed at the young man next to him and said, "You're from the city, here to look for your father!"

The second brother thanked him hurriedly, and the third uncle left with the basket. The second brother smiled and bowed to the man: "Who are you?"

The man smiled and returned the greeting: "I am from the Song Family Inn in the city, my surname is Wu."

The second elder brother immediately knew what was going on. After hesitating for a moment, he called his younger brother, "Sanlang, go and ask Dad to come back."

The third brother was growing bean sprouts with his sister. He answered and went with his sister in his arms. After a while, he called Tang Qingshan back.

Of course, this broker came for the fifty acres of land that Mrs. Liu sold.

Usually, when it comes to land in the countryside, the land agent will first ask people from the village. If people from the village are not willing to buy, they will then look for buyers from outside.

Fifty acres of land is an integer, so it is easy to sell. In fact, it is easy to sell, but there are too many of them. I guess no one in the village can eat them all. The broker must have asked around before finding Tang Qingshan.

But the price when selling to the pawnbroker is one price, and the price when the pawnbroker sells it again is not the same price. The Tang family's land is all top-quality farmland, and if they buy it back, they will have to pay at least eight taels of silver per acre.

In fact, if you ask the second brother, he would think that no matter who you buy from, you should not buy this one, otherwise when the time comes to harvest the crops, who knows what trouble that family will cause, which is really annoying.

But Tang Qingshan obviously wanted it.

It was he who had bought the land with his own money and had asked someone to carefully select it. He and his sons had taken care of it over the past few years. He felt really sad when Granny Liu just sold it like that.

But, no money.

There are many people in the big family, so this time we built a house, thinking of building it in one go, a two-story building, which would cost at least more than two hundred taels. Adding the expenses of these days and the things to be purchased in the future, there would not be much silver left on hand, and we really had no money to buy anything.

The broker was used to doing business, and even after hearing his refusal, he kept smiling: "Why don't you buy less? I looked at the land, divided into three pieces, one of which is about twenty acres, another is ten acres, and the other three acres are together with the remaining land of that family... I think this ten acres is good, and it is close to the village. If Brother Tang wants it, you can take it for one hundred taels of silver. This is the lowest price I have given you."

Tang Qingshan's face remained calm: "Thank you, Brother Wu. I'll think about it."

The broker smiled and stood up to say goodbye: "Then Brother Tang, if you have made up your mind, you can come to the Song Family Inn to find me."

Tang Qingshan agreed, sent him out, stood in front of the door, and said, "Erlang, I'm going over there."

Xinbao was sitting on a small stool, looking up at her little face and waiting obediently, just waiting for her daddy to come back after sending someone off and rub her for a while. When she saw him leave like that, she immediately widened her eyes in disappointment...

The second brother saw it and rubbed the little boy’s head.

The silly third brother was also a little unhappy, and gritted his teeth and said, "That damn old woman! If I had known she was going to sell it, why would I have put in so much effort? It's all in vain!"

Xinbao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.

The Tang family has about ten acres of cotton.

Planting cotton is very troublesome. You have to apply fertilizer when plowing the soil, and then plant cotton after that. It is equivalent to doing the work twice at the beginning.

Ten or so acres of land is really not a small amount. This year, Tang Qingshan and Big Brother Tang are working outside, and the only real laborer in the family is Third Brother Tang.

Granny Liu was stingy with money, and refused to let him hire odd jobs. She cursed Tang San every day, saying, "He's like a bull, why not work harder?", "You eat so much rice every day, and it's a waste if you don't work?", "What kind of spoiled lady is hiring workers?"

Third brother always said to Madam Lin in a casual manner, "It's okay, it's okay, I have plenty of energy."

But she remembered one time when no one was at home and her third brother came back from outside. He sat down directly under the bed, panting for a long time before turning around and lying on the bedside. He whispered to her, "Xinbaoer, I'm a little tired. Can I kiss you?"

Then a big wet hand carefully took her hand and kissed it gently...

After a while, he suddenly cried out, and hurriedly used a cloth to wipe her hands, saying repeatedly: "It's bad, it's all my fault. I came in without washing my hands, and made my precious hand bloody..."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

At that time, she thought it was a dream, and after waking up, she felt uncomfortable for a long time.

But now I know that this was not a dream.

It was her third brother, who worked hard at a young age, planting more than ten acres of cotton by himself, and his hands were covered in blood, but he never told anyone...

He is just a twelve-year-old boy! Even if he is born with supernatural powers, he will feel pain and get tired!

Xinbao felt extremely uncomfortable and burst into tears. While crying, he suddenly turned around and climbed onto his third brother's lap. He took his hand and touched it while crying: "It doesn't hurt, Xinbao Huhu, Xinbao Huhu..."

The third brother was stunned.

Xinbao was crying loudly, and while he was crying, I tried my best to comfort him.

The third brother said anxiously: "Xinbaoer, don't cry. I don't feel any pain anymore."

He also remembered what he had said to his sister, and felt a little embarrassed: "Brother is thick-skinned, it's really okay, I smeared Xinbaoer's blood on her hand, Xinbaoer still remembers it?"

"No," Xinbao said loudly, "No, no, I'm not thick-skinned!"

She sobbed, opened her arms, and hugged his face tightly, her tears all over his face: "Yes, yes, you are not thick-skinned, yes, you are Xinbao's big baby!!"

The third brother opened his mouth but said nothing. With red eyes, he accepted his sister's comfort.

Xinbao felt extremely upset. He cried as hard as he could, but he still felt the pain in his heart that he couldn't express.

She had been here for such a long time, but for the first time, she felt a deep hatred towards Mrs. Liu. She really hated her, hated her for how she treated her brother and the people she cared about.

The little baby had never cried so heart-wrenchingly before. He cried until he fainted and suddenly woke up, still crying desperately.

Several brothers took turns to coax her, but she just couldn't stop.

Finally, Brother Tang became anxious, fearing that she would hurt her throat from crying, so he ran to ask for Tang Laoye, but Tang Laoye was not there. Brother Tang asked along the way and finally found the Tang family's old house, just when Liu Po ​​was throwing a tantrum, and she pushed Tang Laoye out of the door.
