"What does it have to do with our family? Our family is the one who suffers. Ling'er, don't talk nonsense." Tang Yuanzhi muttered dissatisfied.

He recently discovered that his father always consulted Yunling's opinion on everything he did, and did not ask him as his son. He really didn't take him seriously.

Too much!

What does a little girl know about movies?

He admitted that he was not as smart as his second brother, and he was not as good at studying and taking exams as his third and fourth brothers. But those three were not here, and he was the only mature man and the eldest son. Even if the old man wanted to ask questions, he should ask him. right.

He was recuperating from an injury a while ago, and the old man couldn't bear to see him work so hard, which he could understand.

But he is almost feeling better now. If the old man still looks at this little girl Yunling in a different light, then he will be unconvinced.

As soon as he became angry, he wanted to call Lao Qi to stop him and clamored to report him to the official.

Mrs. Tang glared at him fiercely, "Idiot!"

Then he turned to Yun Ling and smiled: "Tell this idiot why!"

The old man could scold him, but he couldn't. Yunling had no choice but to patiently say to Tang Yuanzhi: "Uncle, if you report to the official and Duan Sigeng's matter gets out of hand, what do you think others will think of immediately? "

Tang Yuanzhi was a little confused, "What are you thinking? You must be calling him a thief!"

"..."

Yunling really felt that she couldn't continue talking.

Mrs. Cao couldn't help but ask again: "Where did his money go?"

Don't ask her how she came up with it. In fact, she also wants to dig around in the yard now.

Yunling nodded, "That's what the aunt said."

"If Duan Sigeng's incident comes out, in addition to the romantic anecdote about him being defrauded by Heng Niang, will others think that maybe Heng Niang also deceived other people? How much money was defrauded? And after she was sold empty-handed, where did the stolen money go?"

"In the yard?" Ms. Cao's eyes lit up and she swallowed.

Yunling took a deep breath.

Some people really can't think too highly of it.

"Didn't you listen to what Duan Sigeng said? He rummaged through the rubbish in this yard and couldn't find any silver? Look at this yard, does it look like there's a lot of silver hidden there?"

"No......"

Mr. Cao was very disappointed, and Tang Yuanzhi had the same expression.

Yunling said bluntly: "When people think about the whereabouts of money, they will have many thoughts. Generally speaking, the money was either taken away by the previous two tenants, or taken away by the Shi family, or it was taken away by us. Or maybe he still stays in this yard.

Even if we report to the police, we can't eliminate the latter two suspicions. When the time comes, will we still have a good life if we are still involved? "

Cao and Tang Yuanzhi looked embarrassed and stopped talking.

Mr. Tang also said: "You must be merciful and merciful. This Duan Si Geng is not like a rooster and a dog robber. What he should tell is the truth."

After experiencing this situation, no one had the intention to go to sleep. They simply waited for Lao Qi to come back.

But after waiting for half an hour, when Yunling was almost going to go out to look for someone, he finally returned.

"Why so late? Did he lie?"

According to Duan Sigeng's description, the distance from here to the alley entrance is only a short distance. Why does it take so long?

Lao Qi shook his head and thought for a moment before saying: "Duan Sigeng's mother is very enthusiastic and keeps me talking."

He also wanted to leave, but his mother looked a little pitiful. When he saw that his mother was happy, she kept him here, and that's how he went through the trouble until now.

Tang family: "..."

Leave someone to talk enthusiastically? at midnight?

What kind of weird family is this?

"She seems to be blind, thinking it's dark now, and comes out to talk when she hears a noise."

"Are you blind?" Mrs. Tang was indeed a former imperial physician, and he only paid attention to the symptoms at the first time.

"It is said that my eyes were exhausted from doing embroidery. I used to be able to see a little in the daytime, but now it is getting worse and worse. Duan Sigen quietly told me that he wanted to get the money back, but he also wanted to give it to his mother. go to hospital."

When they heard that Duan Si Geng had a blind old woman, everyone in the Tang family suddenly felt pity.

"Fortunately, I didn't report him to the official. But it's really inappropriate for him to climb over the wall in the middle of the night. I still have to say something if I see him tomorrow."

After figuring out the truth of the "rumor", the family felt at peace and slept until dawn, having a good night's sleep.

When they were washing and tidying up the house, there was a knock at the door.

But Duan Si Geng came to visit again, and with him came another elderly woman.

Mrs. Duan was supported by her son the whole time, her eyes narrowed to a slit.

When she reached the ground, she turned around and took the bamboo basket from Duan Si Geng's hand and handed it forward, "I heard from Si Geng that a new tenant came to this yard, so I asked him to buy some cakes to congratulate you on your move. , but don’t blame my old lady for coming here.”

Xu was blind, and she walked tremblingly, showing caution.

Mrs. Wu hurriedly stepped forward to take it and said with a smile: "We should have taken the initiative to visit you. We just moved here yesterday. We have been busy cleaning up today and haven't had time yet. Thank you, sister, for the pastries."

Mrs. Wu led Mrs. Duan to the main room to chat.

When Duan Sigeng saw people walking away, he immediately bowed to everyone in the Tang family and said, "Well done to me, but please don't tell my mother what happened last night. She is not in good health...it's all my fault." It’s her fault, you can beat her or scold her, but don’t tell her about it.”

Yunling didn't pay attention last night, but now she realized that Duan Sigeng seemed to be not as tall as an ordinary adult man. Perhaps this was because he had never found a wife and was defrauded of his savings even at a very old age. root cause.

However, it seems that this is not the point.

Even if Duan Sigeng is shorter, at least he still has a house to live in the town and has some savings before, so the market won't be so bad, right?

Ms. Cao glared at him fiercely and said, "Why didn't you think of your mother when you climbed on the wall in the middle of the night? I tell you, it's a shame that all my family members are kind-hearted, otherwise you wouldn't get a good harvest! Don't do this again in the future. Done."

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. It will never happen again." Duan Sigeng continued to stay humble.

Mr. Cao rolled his eyes and asked curiously: "How much money have you been defrauded of?"

Old Mrs. Tang coughed lightly and walked away, taking advantage of the situation and pulling Tang Yuanzhi away. Only Lao Qi leaned against the door and stretched out his ears.

Duan Sigeng blushed first, then his eyes turned red, and said in a muffled voice: "Thirty taels."

Ms. Cao immediately raised her voice, "Thirty taels?"

Afraid of being heard by people in the room, she lowered her voice again, "Since you, an old bachelor, have saved so many gifts, you should have gotten married and had children long ago. Why are you still being deceived?"

It was also the first time that Duan Sigeng met someone who liked to ask questions. He said calmly: "My father used to be a carpenter, and he saved all this money... I was engaged before, but the girl didn't." I went right after I passed the door, but the rest of the story didn't go well, so I was delayed."

Ms. Cao nodded and said in a confused manner, "You are a bit of a wife-suppressant. It's not easy to find a wife."

Yunling felt like a group of crows were flying in the sky, so she hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt and asked: "What kind of carpentry work do you know how to do? I have a little guy here, maybe you can help with it?"
