"Erzhu, what happened? Does Lin want to default on his debt? That's impossible, right?" asked Old Man Zhao.
Zhao Erzhu looked up at the sky speechlessly, "Dad, you are really crazy because of poverty."
"Dad has been crazy for many years."
Forget it, I'm no match for you when it comes to self-deprecation.
So Zhao Erzhu pulled them to a quiet place and shared the news. "Mr. Lin has been serving us these past few days and has looked us over carefully. He knows that our Zhao family is kind and honest. He said he has taken a liking to you and wants to take you in as his nephew's son-in-law. Got it? He's a good father."
"What?"
Father Zhao finally understood and slapped his forehead, "Why didn't I think of this? No, our eldest son is already 31 years old and has been divorced...Mrs. Lin is such a respectable person, his niece should be no bad either. This..."
It’s not that Old Man Zhao didn’t think of it, it’s that he is too self-aware.
Zhao Erzhu said, "I've also found out about this. Lin's niece is no longer a virgin waiting to be married. She's a widow whose husband has died. She has a thirteen or fourteen-year-old daughter, roughly the same age as big brother. Her family is from Dalui Town. Lin is a very cautious person. Since he specifically asked for this, I think the girl must be of good character. As long as big brother likes her."
Zhao Erzhu talked for a long time with saliva flying all over his body, and seemed to be happier than if he were to get married.
On the other hand, Zhao Dazhu was stunned, as if he had not yet recovered from the surprise. When he finally came to his senses, his face turned red again.
"good."
Old Man Zhao clapped his hands and informed Old Lady Zhao of the news, quietly of course.
After hearing the news, Old Lady Zhao and Zhao Taohua also felt that this was very possible.
It was mainly based on Lin Yitou's character. After all, during the days of cooperating to build the house, Lin Yitou was observing the Zhao family, and the Zhao family had also observed Lin Yitou.
Usually, these skilled people are arrogant in front of their apprentices, with their noses in the air, and they seem to be kind to everyone.
The disciples also respect this master, which shows his noble character.
"Tomorrow, have Zhuzi ask Hua'er to go to Erniu's wife and get the cotton clothes prepared for Zhuzi. He can wear them tomorrow."
"Tuo."
Zhao Taohua will do it now.
The Liu family had another hungry night.
Old Mrs. Liu felt it inch by inch. The old lady Tianlin personally delivered the furniture. If it wasn't because she couldn't eat it, she really wanted to rush up and take a few bites.
Starving to death.
But this furniture can neither be moved nor bitten.
This tile-roofed house, this bright and spacious room, she really couldn't bear to leave. How much more valuable would it be if these things belonged to the Liu family?
"Mom, are we just going to waste our time like this? I heard that all the Zhao family's money was used to build the house, and there is not much left," said the eldest daughter-in-law Gao worriedly.
These past two days, she was so hungry that her stools were all watery.
Not to mention the grandchildren.
"I'll confront Liu Chunxi tomorrow."
Old Lady Liu made up her mind.
On the second day, because the Liu family women did not have to do farm work and were visiting guests, they slept until sunrise. Then they had to put on a sullen face and face the thing they least wanted to face: brown rice porridge and cold wild vegetables.
"Hey, there's no big pillar in the sky?"
After Old Lady Liu sat down, she asked casually.
Old Lady Zhao said, "Dazhu went to the town to settle the bill early this morning."
"Pay the bill? What bill?"
"The furniture. Didn't mother sleep in the bed last night? It's so comfortable. Although the furniture inside and outside the house isn't expensive, it must have cost a lot of money. It was all bought out to Lin, and the balance was about ten taels of silver."
"What, ten taels?"
Old Lady Liu was furious again when she heard this.
