Accumulate Wealth in Life

Takako Hanmen (13)

While eating, the smell of stewed pheasant spreads all over the yard.

Mr. Yin held a bowl and squatted under the window of Mr. Yin next door, sucking the soup from the chicken legs, and eating it more fragrantly.

I gave the chicken to the old man and the old lady. The old lady was reluctant to eat it. She must wait for Saburo to come back.

Boss Yin looked at the tortillas and scrambled eggs in the bowl. Things that I thought were delicious in the past are really not good at this time. Besides, after so many years, there are scrambled eggs every day, no matter how delicious it is, it is limited to eat in the mouth.

The opposite Fan saw everything in his eyes, and only sighed in his heart, "This family can't be on the table."

In the middle of the night, it started to rain.

Lin Yutong woke up suddenly. Because it suddenly became cold in the house.

Fourth Master had been tired all day, and slept very deeply at night.

Lin Yutong set the kang on fire and stuffed an old tree root in it. This thing is resistant to burning, and it is not a problem to burn it all day and night.

As the day approached, the rain became heavier.

Fourth Master turned over, "It seems that I can't go up the mountain today."

Lin Yutong laughed a little, if it weren't for him, he would have lost his enthusiasm for life. I have everything in my own space, even if I can't use it out in an open and honest way, my heart is somewhat lazy. Because there is something to rely on, it is inevitable to be lazy. But the fourth master is completely different. He knows that he has support, but he still can't cheat without cheating. Always curious and passionate about the unknown world. Just like playing a game, he will seriously abide by the established rules, no matter how hard he works, he will still enjoy it. As if he had to rely on his own abilities to support his family, he was serious and persistent.

"I'll take a look at it later, if I can get a few fish." Fourth Master said, and really planned to get up.

It was raining so hard outside, he didn't let up at all.

Lin Yutong got up quickly, "Let's go after dinner."

After simmering the big bone soup all night, and a bowl of noodles, it is a meal.

"It's not really easy to use this scorpion." Lin Yutong put the scorpion on the fourth master and put on a hat, making him a fisherman.

"It's very easy to wear." The fourth master was very satisfied with this outfit, and even bent down and rolled up his trouser legs, "Is this more like that?"

Lin Yutong glanced up and down, and then hehe twice, you're just having a good time.

After sending the fourth master away, Mrs. He brought a needle and thread and came to talk to Lin Yutong.

"... I went to the county town for several days, and I haven't come back." Mrs. He complained to Lin Yutong with the sole of his shoe in his hand.

This is about Erlang and Saburo.

She replied absent-mindedly, "The man's house is outside, so maybe it's not necessarily because he got caught by something."

The corner of Xiao He's mouth twitched, thinking of the silver he got back last time, he didn't say anything.

As he was talking, the door rang.

"Could it be that you are back?" Mr. He hurriedly put down his work and leaned out to look in his old clothes.

As a result, I saw a woman in her twenties or thirties heading towards Fan's house.

She retracted her head and said to Lin Yutong, "I'll go take a look."

Lin Yutong didn't take it seriously either, and sat at the door of the house with a bench, just in time to see the wing where Mr. Fan lived diagonally opposite.

I saw Mrs. He standing by the window of the third room, rummaging through the things on the windowsill, but slowly moved his body and walked under Mr. Fan's windowsill.

He saw the shameful appearance of Xiao He across the window, but he didn't shout.

Xiao He looked at the big room opposite, it was cold today, the doors and windows were closed, and she became more courageous.

A whisper came from the room, the voice of the strange woman.

"...My aunt overheard, and asked me to come over and tell the girl. It won't be sold for a while, and after the water is issued, there will be nothing left.

 …”

Fan's voice was eager, "Is this true?"

"Master Zhizhou's meaning, the master did it himself, how could it not be true?" The woman's voice became more and more soft. Xiao He only vaguely heard the words 'drowned', 'criminal' and 'rush back to the capital'.

There was a sound of the door opening from the main room, and Mrs. He hurriedly retreated under the window sill of the third room. Seeing He stared at her awkwardly, she smiled embarrassingly, and hurried to Lin Yutong's side.

"Erlang's daughter-in-law, what are you running for?" As soon as Yin Youniang opened the door, she saw Xiao He running down the steps and running into the rain.

When Mr. Fan heard the voice outside the room, his expression changed immediately.

The woman's face was pale, and if the master knew about such an important matter, but the news was leaked by her aunt, she might be angry.

Fan shi grabbed the woman who was going out to take a look, and shook her head gently.

Whether Xiao He heard something, he was not sure yet. He seemed a little guilty of being a thief when he went out in such a hurry.

Xiao He's heart froze, and before he could speak, He stuck his head out of the window, "his aunt, I told her to get the soles for me quickly. I haven't made a pair of soles for two days... Why are my hands and feet so slow? ?"

Xiao He also slowed down for a while, "Little aunt, it's raining, can't I run quickly? Look at what it's been like for a while." Saying that, Sa Yazi ran.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief. Fan Shi said, "No matter what it hears, she has nowhere to say it. Don't worry about that, I'll just watch her."

"The girl should go back to the county town with the uncle. There is no way to stay in this place." The woman whispered, "The sooner the better, the later will change."

Fan Shi nodded, "I see."

The woman then turned around and left the house. Seeing Lin Yutong looking at her, she smiled kindly.

What did he say, he told Xiao He to go back to his room and didn't come out for a long time.

Lin Yutong shouted at the door: "Second sister-in-law, you are pulling me over the sole of the shoe. Did you find it in your house?"

You won't be able to do a full set of plays. Since Mr. He covered it up for her, she had to make an appearance. After entering the house and not coming out for a long time, doesn't it make people suspicious?

After a while, Mrs. He turned around and came in. The wet clothes on her body hadn't changed. The look on his face was also a little flustered.

"Look at you, it's not like the third aunt has never scolded you. How could you be so scared this time?" Lin Yutong handed over the soles of his shoes and casually joked.

"No! It's nothing." Xiao He quickly shook his head, "It's not about the third sibling, it's my mother-in-law... It's scary."

Isn't this three hundred taels of silver in this place?

Lin Yutong didn't ask any further, just shoved the soles of her shoes, "Hurry up and go."

Xiao He took the sole of the shoe and turned around before asking again, "Fourth younger brother and sister, you said that the Qingyang River at the entrance of our village will not flood up."

Lin Yutong looked at Mrs. He in surprise, shook his head and said, "I've never heard of being flooded. How did the second sister-in-law think of asking this?"

Xiao He seemed to be relieved and pointed to the rain curtain outside: "You look at the rain outside, I'm just worrying. Our family is not there, I don't know. I'm thinking..."

After speaking, without waiting for Lin Yutong to speak again, he turned around and went out to the wing where the third room lived.

Lin Yutong was disturbed by the question asked by Mrs. He before he left.

What did the woman tell Mr. Fan to make Mr. He worry about the river flooding?

Thinking that the fourth master was still fishing by the river, Lin Yutong got up. Took the needlework and went to Fan's house.

Fan was a little surprised at the arrival of Lin Yutong.

"Sit down, brother and sister." Mrs. Fan smiled enthusiastically, and hurriedly asked to make tea for Lin Yutong.

Lin Yutong sat at the edge of the round table, "I thought that someone from the third sister-in-law's family brought delicious food, so I had the cheek to come to the door. If there is no good dim sum, this tea is fine. I can't taste it. Come."

Fan Shi was stunned, "Where can there be no good dim sum?" After saying that, he brought out a plate of jujube cakes.

Lin Yutong only glanced at the jujube cake, and smiled meaningfully at Mrs Fan: "Sister-in-law San will fool people. People from her mother's family come here in the heavy rain just to give Chen Dimsum. Since this is the way for Sister-in-Law San to entertain guests. Dao, then I won't be annoying here."

Saying that, get up and go out.

Fan's expression changed, and he quickly grabbed Lin Yutong, "Stay back!"

Lin Yutong looked at Mrs Fan, "What? Is there any good things for the third sister-in-law?"

When Mrs Fan grabbed Lin Yutong's hand, Lin Yutong instantly felt that something cold was stuffed into her palm.

It was silver, about fifty taels.

Just listened to Fan's words: "No matter what the second sister-in-law said to the younger brother and sister? Please also keep the younger brother and sister tight-lipped."

Lin Yutong's heart was tumbling, how important it was, so that Mr. Fan was willing to pay for it. It seems that this time it was the right bet.

Lin Yutong put the silver in his sleeve, but said, "Are you really willing to use this amount of money to seal your mouth?"

Fan's complexion changed, and Xiao He really heard it. She looked at Lin Yutong and smiled, "It seems that I really got it wrong. My younger brother and sister are like this now, they don't look like they came from a small family."

"Then what is it from a small family?" Lin Yutong pointed at the brand new dark table top of the round table with her fingers, and raised her eyebrows to look at Mrs Fan.

Fan squinted to look at Lin Yutong, "Very good!" After this hurdle, let's settle accounts slowly.

She turned around and took out 22 taels of silver again, "This number is enough. I really don't have any more."

Fan's dowry only had one hundred taels of silver. Now I have taken out twenty-five taels. You can see the seriousness of this matter.

Lin Yutong took the money without further probing, "Don't worry, I'm a person who knows the rules very well."

Mrs Fan nodded, and added: "My younger brother and sister came from a small family, so I don't know the dangers here. There are some things, let alone us little people, it's my father... That's also forced to help... The gods fight, the little devils suffer, we I don’t even have the qualifications to be a kid. Listen to my advice, it’s better to have less than one thing. If you don’t mind your own business, there will be nothing in the world.”

Lin Yutong turned back and gave Mrs Fan a serious look before saying, "I've been taught!"

When I came out of Fan's house, I just saw He's head retracted from the door. Lin Yutong smiled in his heart. When passing by the door of the third room, a piece of silver just slipped out of his sleeve and fell to the ground. Lin Yutong picked it up in a panic, and with just a glance, he could clearly see the stunned expressions of He and Xiao He...
