Chapter 66: The Indomitable Head of the Family

Xinbao was stunned for a moment, with an innocent look on his face: "Not many?"

The second brother had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I got it."

A few people asked around and went to Baohetang, the second largest pharmacy in the county.

It's not far from here. Now the second elder brother knows what's going on. With Xinbao's words, he is intimidated by them and his attitude is more sincere. After all, ginseng of such good quality is hard to come by.

There is a huge difference between ginseng that is over 100 years old and that that is less than 100 years old. In the end, it was sold for 318 taels of silver.

After discussing it, the two brothers went directly to the brokerage firm, found the broker, and then, according to Xinbao's wishes, bought the 28 acres of land with the cotton field. It happened to be very close to the new house and was in a large area, so it was easy to manage.

But when I bought it back, it became more expensive, eight taels per acre, and in the end I harvested two hundred and sixteen taels.

We knew the people at the pawnshop well and the process went smoothly. The household registration booklet was also ready, so we registered right away. Finally, the brothers and sisters excitedly bought a lot of food, sang "I Have a Little Donkey" all the way, and went home in two carts, one after the other.

So when Tang Qingshan and his wife returned home, they found that their house was set up as an empty city plan.

They did hear about the beating of Huang Hou, but when they returned home, Huang Hou was just thrown on the ground and no one was home. After asking around, they found out that it was Brother Tang San who drove a ox cart to the county town.

Are you taking Tuanzi out to play? You can't stay out so late, right?

The left-behind elderly couple were very confused.

The two didn't know whether to cook, so they just boiled some water and took a bath.

Just after washing, several sons came back singing little songs, each of them looking very happy.

Mrs. Lin wiped her hair and asked, "Did you pick up any silver?"

Brother Tang San grinned and laughed: "Hahaha, mother, Xinbao..."

The second brother covered his mouth very familiarly.

Brother Tang San couldn't help it, so he jumped off the donkey cart, pulled his mother into the house, and showed her the title deed! As expected, Madam Lin exclaimed.

Then she punched him hard: "Asshole! Did you rob people?"

"Ouch!" The third brother was chased by his mother and ran around the yard: "Mom! Mom, stop hitting me! I didn't rob you, listen to me! Ouch! Why does it hurt so much when you hit me!"

Mrs. Lin paused.

Glancing at the east room, Tang Qingshan had not come out of the shower yet, so Madam Lin withdrew her hand and gently twisted her son's ear: "Come in and talk!"

After entering the house and hearing this, Mrs. Lin was stunned.

Tang Qingshan came in after washing and told his sons everything over again without getting tired of it.

Tang Qingshan was silent for a long time, looking at his little girl, and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.

He is the kind of patriarch who stands tall and proud. He is taciturn and tries his best, putting everything on his shoulders. Just like a big tree, he provides a clear sky for his family.

But now, the thing he wanted to do but couldn't do was inexplicably accomplished by his little girl.

His mood was really...guilty, touched, proud, a mixture of all kinds of emotions.

After a while, he hugged the little girl very gently and said softly, "Xinbaoer..."

Xinbao was about to hug his father back when he was suddenly stunned: "Huh?"

The second brother asked, "What's wrong?"

Xinbao patted his little head: "Xinbao forgot to buy wine!"

"Yes," Tang San said excitedly, "Why didn't you buy some wine? If we don't have some wine after buying the braised pork, wouldn't it be a waste of food?"

Brother Tang slapped him on the back: "How old are you? Still want to drink?"

"Don't hit me!" Xinbao hugged her brother's hand: "Xinbao didn't buy Daddy's wine!" She pointed at the basket: "It's for Daddy to soak ginseng in!"

Tang Qingshan pondered for a moment.

The second brother thought about it and suddenly said to him, "Dad, after dinner, I will tell you something."

Tang Qingshan looked at him and nodded.

They bought a lot of things, including rice, flour, meat and vegetables. They made some egg soup and had a comfortable meal.

After dinner, Mrs. Lin prepared to boil water for her daughter to take a bath. The eldest brother, the third brother and the fourth brother continued to make sugar, while the second brother and Tang Qingshan strolled out.

He told Tang Qingshan everything in detail.

The more Tang Qingshan listened, the more shocked he became.

After a long while, he said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

The second brother didn't say anything. He lowered his head and slowly rolled the grass around his fingers.

He was afraid that if he told it too early, Tang Qingshan would hear that Tang Sanshui was faking his illness and would sympathize with Liu Pozi and would not be able to help but take care of him. He was also afraid that Tang Qingshan still cared about Tang Sanshui and would intervene to save Tang Sanshui's life.

He didn't want his father to have anything to do with that family anymore. He wanted to live a good life and he didn't want to live the same kind of life as before anymore!

Tang Qingshan quickly understood his thoughts.

The majestic old father was silent for a long time, his lips tightly pursed, looking at him... but in the end said nothing.

He just stood up and walked back.

The second brother stood up and slowly followed behind.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

He didn't actually blame his father, but he really hated that family and he didn't care whether they lived or died.

No and neither.

It’s not that he doesn’t care, he just wants them to get what they deserve and die sooner.

After so many years, so many years of suffering, enduring day by day until now, even if they come to their senses now, he will never forgive them.

Tang Qingshan returned home.

The little boy had just finished his bath and was jumping back and forth on the couch.

She was not wearing Madam Lin's old clothes today, but an old sleeveless shirt of Tang Qingshan. It had no sleeves, but the collar was too big for a small girl like her to hold it up, so it was like a cassock, with half of her shoulders exposed. Madam Lin tickled her flesh, and Xinbao laughed out loud, hiding all over the bed.

Tang Qingshan watched quietly for a long time.

When Xinbao saw him, he stretched out his arms to him and said in a baby voice, "Daddy, help me!"

Tang Qingshan's lips curled slightly, and he went over to hug his daughter. Madam Lin deliberately stretched out her hand again, pretending to scratch her. The little girl screamed, and Tang Qingshan really stretched out his hand to block her.

Xinbao was hanging on his father's neck, still screaming nervously.

Mrs. Lin laughed so hard that she fell backwards. She slapped her little butt and then got up and left.

Xinbao turned back after seeing her mother leave. Tang Qingshan looked at her quietly with gentle eyes.

Xinbao opened his eyes wide.

She held her daddy's face with her two chubby little hands, and her little nose touched the tip of his nose, so close that their eyes were almost touching, and her daddy did not avoid it.

Xinbao blinked his big eyes and asked in a small voice, "Daddy is unhappy?"

Tang Qingshan said in a deep voice: "I'm not unhappy."

But why did she feel that her father seemed unhappy? Xinbao thought about it, pouted her little mouth, and smiled at her father.

Daddy glared at her and said, "Xinbao, don't do this."

Xinbao blinked his eyes: "Oh!"

None of her trump cards worked, and she didn't know how to appease her father.

Xinbao was a little worried. She put her chubby hands into her father's collar to keep them warm, frowned and thought seriously.

Tang Qingshan casually put the clothes that had slipped off back on his daughter's shoulders, carried her back to the couch, put her beside him, covered her with a quilt, turned sideways and gently hugged her, and asked: "Xinbao, what are you thinking about?"

Xinbao said, "I miss daddy."

Tang Qingshan asked, "What do you miss about Daddy?"

Xinbao said, "I want Daddy to be happy."

The old father was speechless for a long while before he said, "Daddy is not unhappy. As soon as Daddy saw Xinbaoer, he was very happy."
