Chapter 113: Showing Off One's Skills
The luck-bringing talisman can not only absorb the luck of people, but also of things. It will be useless for an old house that has been there for many years, but for a newly built house, if it is used in this specific ceremony, something bad will happen to the new house and the people living in the house will suffer all kinds of misfortunes.
Dabao took a look at what was in Xiaoyuanbao's hand and understood what was going on.
This talisman was definitely not placed by Cai Dashan. The most likely person to be placed there is Cai Erfeng.
When Cai Dashan was trying to stay away, Cai Erfeng went up to him and pulled him for a while before finally taking him away.
It is very likely that something was stuffed into the hole on the central beam when it was being pulled.
"Sister, does it have any impact now?" Dabao asked.
"I just put it there. It has no effect. Put it away and continue putting up the central beam. Don't waste the auspicious time! Big brother, you put it away." Xiao Yuanbao handed the things to Dabao.
"good."
Continue to tie the red ribbon.
The other villagers didn't understand what was going on and asked Dabao.
Dabao said calmly, "It's nothing, just a minor incident. Some people are just showing off their skills in front of my sister."
Everyone suddenly understood something.
If you dare to show off your skills in front of Xiao Yuanbao, the reincarnation of Bodhisattva, you are really blind.
This is where the Cai family came to sit...
Are the Cai family my mother’s family or my enemies?
After the little girl found the bad things, she smiled happily and tied the red ribbon on them happily.
The witch Liu shouted, "The auspicious day has arrived, it's time to put up the beams!"
Several men who had been waiting nearby lifted up the central beam together, shouted slogans, and worked together to place the central beam on the roof.
The ceremony was over, firecrackers rang out, Cai scattered candies, and the children began to scramble for the candies, creating a lively atmosphere.
Xiao Yuanbao and the others had already slipped out of the crowd.
Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, plus the small ingot, not a single one is left out.
They surrounded them from a small path, came out of the village and waited.
Cai Erfeng came to their house time and again to cause trouble, did she really think they were easy to bully?
What's the saying that revenge is never too late?
That's not possible. It's more satisfying to take revenge on the spot with her little Yuanbao!
***
Cai the peddler kept looking back every few steps and was very pleased when he heard the sound of firecrackers behind him.
"It's good now. "
Cai Dashan said sourly, "These firecrackers are so loud all the time. How much money must be wasted? It's really a waste of money..."
The Cai family's daughter-in-law enviously said, "They built such a big house, what's this little money for firecrackers? Come to think of it, such a big house, second sister, is not much worse than your husband's house in the county town..."
Cai Erfeng smiled, "Our house is indeed not big enough to live in. It will be too crowded with more servants. My mother-in-law plans to buy out the two families in front and behind by the end of the year. I said that houses in the county are so expensive. It's not like the countryside. You can build as big as you want. It doesn't matter if it's crowded. The servants can live in one room for men and one room for women. It's not impossible..."
The Cai family's daughter-in-law was speechless. No matter what she said, it was just one word: sour.
Her two sisters-in-law are luckier than her.
Cai Erfeng has shown off enough, so there is no need to say more.
If she continues to show off, the Cai family's daughter-in-law won't scold her, but her unreliable brother Cai Dashan will. Your husband's family is so well off, you should be a young lady with servants to serve you, why don't you arrange one for your parents?
So, she continued, "My father and I have the same idea. It's really good to have the newborn baby. Look how lively it is. It shows that Sister San Ya and her family are doing well. The children are smart and clever. There are three sons and a lovely little daughter. With more sons, I have confidence. Even if I'm a stepmother, so what? It will still make others look up to me."
These words touched Cai the peddler's heart.
"That's right. San Ya is having a good life now. Don't go and make trouble. If she doesn't like to see us, then we shouldn't go. Today is the first time we come and the last time. As long as she is fine, it's fine. You bullied her in the past, but now she has a family and is the mother of someone else's child. Don't go too far, especially Dashan. If you continue to be so unreasonable, I will pretend that I never gave birth to this son of yours, and you get out of the house..."
If he knew that San Ya didn't welcome them in her heart, he would not have come today no matter what.
He now regretted listening to Cai Erfeng's nonsense today and coming here impulsively.
Cai Dashan curled his lips, indicating that he was not convinced.
Cai Erfeng quickly responded, "Dad, we got it."
As he was talking, Dabao appeared from nowhere and said, "Grandma, please stay."
Cai the peddler was stunned.
"Who are you?" When Cai came back home that day, she didn't bring Dabao with her, so Cai the peddler had never seen him before.
"Grandma, my name is Tang Zhong, and my nickname is Dabao."
Cai the peddler was very pleased to see the handsome young man.
"Good boy. What can I do for you?"
"Grandma, my mother said that there were too many people just now and she couldn't entertain you properly, so she asked me to take you to where we live to have some tea and rest before leaving."
Cai the peddler was very excited and kept rubbing his hands.
San Ya still cares about his old bones in her heart.
"You guys are so busy, how about another day?"
"Mom is busy, but I am not. I will take grandma to have tea and eat something. Let them go first. After they finish eating, I will hire a carriage to take grandma home, so it won't delay anything." Dabao invited sincerely.
Cai the peddler came here just to see how the Cai family and their children lived. He had just gone to take a look at the homestead, and now he was invited to go and see where they lived, and he was willing in his heart.
So he agreed.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Turning around, we asked Cai Dashan and his friends to go back first, but they were not happy about it.
"Why don't you invite us for tea? Are you so stingy?"
Cai the peddler turned around and glared at him, but he remained silent.
Cai Erfeng asked tentatively, "Can I go to your house with Dad to have some tea? Dad is not in good health and needs someone to take care of him..."
Dabao glanced around and moved his eyes to Cai's daughter-in-law, "Let her take care of it."
The Cai family's daughter-in-law was somewhat overwhelmed by the favor, "Okay, okay, I'll take care of my father-in-law."
This shows that Cai has Cai the peddler in her heart. He sent rice, grain and meat to their family last time, and maybe he can bring some back today. Cai the peddler is old and in poor health, and cannot lift heavy objects, but she can. She can carry more than 100 to 180 kilograms on her back and walk briskly!
If it's something good, she can find a bamboo pole and carry even 200 kilograms.
The more I thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed, and I happily followed him.
Cai Dashan and Cai Erfeng were the only two people left at the scene, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"What should I do, second sister?"
"Let's go back! They don't welcome us." Cai Erfeng said.
Seeing that there was no one around, Cai Dashan stretched out his hand to Cai Erfeng and said, "Give me money..."
Cai Erfeng gave him half an ounce of silver.
Cai Dashan thought it was too little. "I lay on the central beam as you ordered, and even smeared my snot on the central beam of their house. Their family must not be able to make a fortune. You should give me more. You are the young lady of the Chu family, why are you so stingy..."
