Chapter 101 Cai Erfeng
"Seventy or eighty taels..."
Dashan's wife was stunned when she heard this. "Seventy or eighty taels?"
Why not just rob it?
Dashan said confidently, "Yes, she is so rich that she even gave her daughter a cloak worth tens of taels. What's so excessive about her spending seventy or eighty taels to treat my parents' illness?"
Mr. Cai, who was lying on the kang, suddenly started coughing and his face turned red.
"Old man, don't be impatient, take your time..." Mrs. Cai understood him.
I know he is anxious.
Cai Jiagong finally stopped talking, his face flushed with anger as he said, "Dashan, we can't do this... Sanya has a miserable life... She has cut off all contact with our family, and we haven't taken care of her in these years. She is living a good life, so we just wish her the best. Don't bother her anymore, and don't ask for money..."
Cai Dashan shouted, "Dad, how can you go to the doctor without money? What's the point of relying on my second sister to bring back one or two taels every time?"
"Even if I die of illness, you can't ask her for a penny... Our family is sorry for her..."
Cai Dashan reluctantly said, "What should I say if I get beaten?"
"You deserve to be beaten! Cough cough cough..."
"father!"
At this moment, a woman came in from the yard outside, "Dad, Mom, your daughter is back. Are you feeling better?"
Cai Erfeng came in from outside carrying some food.
"Second sister, you're back!"
Dashan's wife came out to greet him warmly.
Cai Erfeng married into a good family, and Erfeng also cared about her parents' family, often coming back to see them and bringing them food and drinks.
The man she married into was a talented person. Before she got married, she was very willful, but after she got married, her temperament became calmer and more stable.
"Brother, sister-in-law, what are you doing in my parents' room?"
Cai Dashan was worried about not being able to find help. When he saw his younger sister coming back, he told her about what happened during his visit to Cai's house today.
Cai Erfeng's eyes lit up, "Their family is really lucky! Third sister is really blessed."
Cai Dashan said dissatisfiedly, "That's right. They didn't share the blessing with our parents or with us. Cai Sanya has been eating our food for more than ten years in vain. It's better to feed a dog for more than ten years than her..."
Cai Erfeng disagreed, "Brother, you shouldn't say that about Sister San Ya. She is our sister after all. We grew up together. To be honest, I am not sorry for her. I stole her husband, which made her sad and she cut off all contact with our family. Over the years, I have reflected on this. I was just about to ask you about her whereabouts. Now that we have heard about her, our family must go find her and apologize..."
Cai Jiagong frowned, "Erfeng..."
Cai Erfeng said considerately, "Dad, don't worry. We are just visiting relatives and apologizing. I will definitely keep my brother under control and won't ask Cai for a penny. Not only that, I will also prepare some small gifts for my nephews and nieces whom I have never met, so that sister San Ya can forgive us. I am sincere. My husband and I have read the books of sages and know some truths."
"Okay." Mr. Cai finally felt relieved.
After getting married, Cai Erfeng is indeed different and has become much more sensible.
The Cai family has been in decline in recent years, and they have been able to get by thanks to Cai Erfeng's frequent financial support.
***
The next day.
Xiao Yuanbao started to build the wall at home, using large blue bricks mixed with sand and gravel. Ordinary villagers didn't know how to do it, so only the skilled craftsmen brought by the old craftsmen knew how to build it.
Everyone was moved.
"This is the first time I've seen such large bricks used!"
"The last time Uncle Xianming built a tall house, he didn't use bricks this big. This brick looks solid. It will last for generations and hundreds of years without collapsing! Wow, it's great."
"That's right. This house must cost a lot of money. I'm afraid we won't be able to afford such a grand and solid house in our lifetime..."
"We have one in our village, and the materials used are better than those used in Uncle Xianming's house..."
…
Tang in the crowd looked visibly upset.
He doesn't like to hear these words.
What's the point of building a nice house for a few orphans and widows who are cheating people and making dirty money and showing off?
Without a man in charge, the Cai family might bring all kinds of men back from outside to have fun in the future. It would be a despicable brothel, bah, so shameless.
Tang Xianming snorted coldly and left the crowd with a stern face.
Erbao's job is to play with his younger sister and make sure nothing unexpected happens to her.
He saw Tang Xianming leaving the crowd in disappointment, and was puzzled as to why this man was so hostile towards their family, but it didn't matter. Let him be angry. He was so narrow-minded, it would be better to just let him die of anger.
Little Yuanbao was mingling with the other kids and having a great time.
Erbao just watched from the side and did not participate.
Sanbao played in the mud with her and other children of the same age from other villages, all of whom were little kids of four or five years old.
She was not allowed to wear the cloak today. When she wore it for a while yesterday, it attracted the attention of Cai Dashan, so Cai put it away for her and told her to wear it again during the New Year.
Today I wore an old coarse cloth overall over my new cotton jacket.
Just give her time to play in the mud.
Played in the mud.
When Cai came to deliver lunch, she almost didn't recognize which one was her baby!
They all turned into a group of little clay figures.
His face was covered with mud.
Granny Li brought little Cui'er over to help today. The cooking team was expanded from two people, Cai and Granny Wang, to four people, making the job much easier.
Cai gave the task of distributing meals to Aunt Wang.
Then, he took his two muddy little kids home and washed them clean.
Halfway through the journey, I saw Cai Dashan from yesterday again...
Cai Dashan came with a young woman.
She was stunned for a moment.
Erbao also saw the person coming and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
The two little clay figures in Cai's hands looked like they were facing a powerful enemy.
Little Yuanbao, who couldn't tell the difference between his eyebrows and eyes, was about to break free from Cai's hand, "Mother, the bad guy is here again, let's go and beat him up..."
"Little girl, don't beat anyone up without thinking. If you want to beat someone up, let your brothers go first. If your brothers can't beat them, then you can go up first..."
Clay figurine, "Great!"
While they were talking, the people over there came forward.
Cai Erfeng smiled brightly, "Third sister! It's really you, Third sister! The change is really huge. If I were to go out, I really wouldn't recognize you. It's great to see that you've changed for the better!"
Cai said coldly, "What are you doing here again? Yesterday I told Cai Dashan clearly that I have cut off all ties with the Cai family. Don't even think of doing anything wrong with me."
Cai Erfeng was not annoyed. "Third sister, this is what happened. When my eldest brother went back and told me about the incident, my parents and I scolded him. He is a big mouth that talks nonsense. He has been addicted to gambling recently and has lost all the money in the family. He is thinking of evil ideas everywhere. Don't be angry with him. What did he say yesterday? He wanted money to treat Dad's illness? It's all nonsense! Don't worry, Dad said that even if he dies of illness, he will never ask you for a penny. He also beat up my eldest brother severely..."
