Xie Liangchen naturally felt familiar, especially the older one. In a daze, he thought he saw the Imperial Master.
I thought this idea was really funny at the moment and shook my head noncommittally.
I ignored Ah Fu and walked home on his own.
Ah Fu hurriedly followed, but after taking two steps, he couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with Zhao Yuniang today? She's not waiting for you at the end of the village. Master, this woman is used to it. Our family consumes a lot more food than usual. In the past, Jiang Fatya was much more economical than her. "
After hearing this, Xie Liangchen felt secretly depressed.
If it were in the past, he would never take such a thing seriously.
His paintings from earlier years are somehow missing. Ah Fu said that it was moldy under the box, so he asked Chuntao to use it as firewood. Now that his hand was injured, he naturally couldn't make money by selling his paintings. These days he was really struggling. A copper plate can't wait to be split into two halves.
He also knows that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. In the past, his family had a great business, so naturally he looked down on these three melons and two dates.
The people around him are just trying to get some profit. As long as they don't go too far, he will just turn a blind eye.
Of course, he had no idea about money at that time. But now, life is very tight, so Xie Liangchen naturally knows how to be careful.
It is impossible to say that she has no resentment towards Zhao Yuliang. Zhao Yuniang is a person who does one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. The money he gave her was spent on her in an instant. What he and Ah Fu were fed every day were whole grain pancakes and some wild vegetable dumplings. They haven't seen oil and water for a long time.
It’s just that now he doesn’t have capable people around him, and he really can’t come up with money. He can only make do with it for now, and when his hand recovers, he can sell paintings. No matter how bad it is, you can still make money by copying books for others.
He only needs to survive the children's exam next year. Once he passes the exam, he will have privileges and will not have to be detained in the countryside. Then you can buy a house in the county and your life will be much easier.
With this thought on his mind, he and Ah Fu walked into the house.
As soon as the two of them came in, they felt something was wrong.
On weekdays, when Zhao Yuniang is at home, there will always be some fireworks coming out of the chimney. Even when making pancakes, there will be a fire. Why is it so quiet today?
Going closer to the house, they were stunned when they saw Zhao Yuniang lying on the fire bed.
“What is going on here!”
Ah Fu slapped his thigh: “Maybe there was a thief at home!”
As he spoke, he immediately He trotted to the hut, squatted on the ground and dug out a piece of loose bricks.
After digging out the bricks and stones, he took out a money bag and touched a few handfuls. Then he slowly exhaled: "Fortunately, the money was not lost."
He was still breathing. When I got down, I felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so I turned back to look stiffly.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Liangchen squinted at him dangerously.
Ah Fu immediately hid the money bag behind his back: "Master, that's me."
Xie Liangchen stepped forward and snatched the money bag away.
He frowned and opened the gray money bag, and found two silver notes of ten taels lying inside, as well as some scattered silver, which totaled nearly twenty-five taels.
"Oh, is this what you said about having no money?" Fuxin regretted this, and immediately slapped himself in the face.
This is the cost of his hard work following the young master for so many years!
From the time when his house was confiscated and exiled to now, he had hid this much money in total, and he was blamed for it in one breath!
But even though his heart ached, he knew that the young master was really angry now. His eyes rolled, and the next second, he fell to his knees on the ground and said with tears in his eyes: "You don't know, this silver is not mine." Don’t dare to eat or drink. Just think that if our master and servant are in trouble one day, we will use it to save money.” Xie Liangchen was confused: “Seriously?”
Afu cried. Even more sincerely: "Of course it is true, young master, how can you not believe me? After so many years of our friendship, could I still do something that is worse than a pig or a dog, hiding money behind your back? If not Really, how could I take out this money in front of you?"
Xie Liangchen frowned slightly: "But during the day, I spent three copper coins to buy a meat bun? , I gave you half. I’m so hungry that I’m dizzy now, and you didn’t say anything about the money.”
Afu: “Master, aren’t we at the end of the road yet?” Don’t we still have food to eat when we come back? If we run out of money in the end, I will definitely use this money to help.”
As he said that, he peeked at Xie Liangchen's face.
Xie Liangchen’s tightly frowned brows finally dispersed, but instead of giving his money to Ah Fu, he stuffed it into his arms.
After thinking about it, he opened the silver bag again, took out two taels of silver and handed it over.
Before Ah Fu had time to rejoice, he heard Xie Liangchen say: "Go and invite Fat Ya Jiang to come."
A Fu was stunned: "Pang Ya Jiang?"
Immediately afterwards, Ah Fu nodded clearly: "If Jiang Fatty can come back, these two taels of silver will not be a loss. She can also make money, and she can also help us subsidize our family. These two people in the family also She really needs to be taken care of."
As he said that, he immediately said: "But Master, if I want her to come back willingly, I'm afraid I need you to go. She really doesn't want to see me, and I might get beaten if I go. "Come out." The lying Zhao Yuniang was sweating profusely. Even though she couldn't make a sound, the pain on her face didn't seem to be fake.
Chuntao is feeling a little better, but after lying down for so long, she still can’t sit up, so it’s time to take a look.
At this time, Ah Fu was dissatisfied with the boss: "Master! You want to spend two taels of silver to hire a doctor for these two bitches? Are they worthy?"
Xie Liangchen frowned: "What are you yelling at? ? Living under the same roof, how can you not save me? If you are told to go, go. Besides, my hand is still injured and I want her to take another look. You can just invite someone here. Don't do it like this. I used to be rude and unruly."
Even if Ah Fu is no longer willing to give this money to these cheap hooves, he has no choice.
The two of them are now lying in bed unable to move. Doesn’t it mean that he has to do all the work at home? Finally he agreed, took the money and went out.
“Wait.”
Xie Liangchen suddenly stood up and took the money back: "I'll go with you."
When they arrived at Jiang Nuanzhi's house, Jiang Nuanzhi was cooking.
Ping'er has returned.
The fragrant pork ribs have been stewed in the big iron pot.
The barbecue pot has also been set up, and the pork has been mixed.
At that time, Jiang Nuanzhi was cutting small ingredients.
Lv Shizhu beside me helped peel the garlic. The waiter helped light the fire.
The other few who didn't want to be seen by Xie Liangchen went to hide in the house.
Seeing Xie Liangchen coming over, Xiao Baozhu suddenly frowned with disgust, but thinking that he had helped her once before, he held back, and just took a few steps back, staying far away. some.
Li Junping had just finished washing his face. His eyes were flowing back and forth between Xie Liangchen and his own A Nuan. There was a bit of vigilance in his eyes, and his little fists suddenly clenched. (End of chapter)
