Old white head?

A question mark slowly appeared above Yu Hongdou's head. Could it be the old white-headed man she had just talked about with her brother?

Before Yu Hongdou had time to ask, He directly announced the correct answer.

"It's the old white-headed man who eats red carp every year for birthday celebrations in Xingwang Town." As soon as He's hint came out, not only Hu Tao, but even Shen knew about it.

"Hey? Didn't that old white-headed guy pass away?" Shen asked without understanding.

"Yes, I was talking about when he was young. No, it was when he was a child." He waved her hand.

That definitely didn't happen when he was old, otherwise the old man wouldn't have died.

"Sister-in-law, please tell me, how did you know that?" Hu Tao liked to listen to gossip in the first place, and now she was even more excited.

Miraculous things like Mi Sheng encountering a fairy had happened near the village, but she didn't even know about it!

"You also know that I was married once before..." He felt a little embarrassed when she said this and turned her gaze to her six children.

"My ex-husband's family is exactly Old Whitehead's uncle. When I got married, my great-grandfather and great-grandmother were still there, and Old Whitehead visited them twice."

"After the old white-headed man passed away, my great-grandfather and great-grandmother praised him to us and told us about his childhood."

He looked at the child twice, then turned around and calmly told her sisters-in-law and younger sisters-in-law about the past.

"Guess how Old Whitehead made his fortune?" After introducing the source of his information, He raised another soul-searching question.

"?" The three adults present shook their heads at the same time, and the confused and half-understanding children at the back also shook their heads.

He looked at the three big and six small ones who were shaking their heads like puppies sent by the third room, and she couldn't help but bent over with laughter.

"The eunuch in front said that when Old Whitehead was ten years old, he met a fairy~" He had laughed enough and finally got to the point.

However, it is obvious that this old white-haired fairy is somewhat different from Mi Sheng and Mao Xian.

Judging from what the old man from He’s ex-husband’s family said, Old Whitehead did not have a very happy childhood.

He was the third of six children in the family. The year he was born was a famine and he almost died. Later, his grandparents saved a bite of food from their own mouths so that he could survive.

But maybe it was because of incompatibility, the old white-headed parents just looked down on him and often ordered the young boy to do heavy and tiring work.

When Lao Baitou was ten years old, his grandparents who had been taking care of him fell ill. He wanted to see a doctor but had no money, and his parents and uncles were unwilling to give him money either.

Out of desperation, the young old man went fishing in the early morning when it was almost dawn.

When Yu Hongdou heard this, she exclaimed, "Oh!" It turned out that the beginning was indeed a bit similar to Mi Sheng's, both of them went to the river when there was no one around.

"Grandpa said that at that time, Old Whitehead heard from somewhere that there was a kind of red carp in the river that could prolong life, so he went there to catch it."

"Old Whitehead was lucky. Not long after he arrived at the river, he saw a red carp jumping out of the water. He was delighted and jumped over it, relying on his ability to swim."

"It was late autumn then, the weather was cool, and the river water was naturally colder. Old Whitehead soaked in the water for too long, and his feet cramped up all of a sudden."

When He thought of that scene, and then looked at her eldest son, who had no blood relationship with her but was leaning on her with a look of dependence, her heart softened.

Her heart was filled with love and affection for Xiaozhi. Why wouldn't anyone love their own child?

Yu Hongdou gave great praise to her eldest cousin's sister-in-law's storytelling ability. Although it was a modified story with unknown tricks, she managed to make it sound as if she was there.

My eldest sister-in-law is also a talented person.

"What happened next? Did the immortal come out to save Old Whitehead?" Hu Tao asked.

"Yes, Grandpa Tai said that at that time, a golden light suddenly appeared in the water, and then a golden light suddenly appeared on the water surface, and a fairy flashed out in the golden light."

"The clothes on that god are not as loose as ours. Instead, they are tight fitting. From the clothes to the skin, they are golden, as if they were made of gold."

"The immortal saw the struggling old man, raised his hand, and a big fish rescued him. Then the immortal asked the old man why he appeared in the water at this time."

"Old Whitehead told the truth. The immortal thought that Old Whitehead was very filial at such a young age, so he asked him if he only wanted him to help him through this difficult time, or if he could rely on himself to overcome difficulties in the future."

When He said this, she saw expressions of surprise and longing on the faces of her sisters-in-law and elder sister-in-law.

She thought about how she had the same expression when she first heard this miraculous thing.

However, the sister-in-law didn't seem to have this intention. He looked at the sister-in-law from the third room again and saw that the little girl seemed to have a hint of...confusion in her surprise?

Yu Hongdou was indeed a little confused, this plot sounded really familiar.

If she thought about it carefully, if he was not wearing gold and tights, but a white-bearded old man, she would have added: "Do you want a gold axe, a silver axe, or a bronze axe?"

Yu Hongdou suspected that this story was told by Old Whitehead to fool everyone.

But Shen and Hu Tao believed it very much and asked anxiously, "What happened next? Which one did the old man choose?"

He smiled and said, "Then I'll definitely choose the second one. Otherwise, how can an old man like me make a fortune?"

Shen and Hu Tao laughed: "If it were me, I would choose the second one. Even a fool can tell the difference between temporary and long-term."

Yu Hongdou was still confused. Since He and the old white-haired man were related by marriage, she asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know how the old white-haired man made his fortune?"

This question made He Shi startled. She tilted her head and thought carefully for a while, then said uncertainly: "Like selling groceries?"

I understand. The story about the old man meeting a fairy is most likely a lie. Yu Hongdou nodded firmly.

"What did the immortal teach him? Where does he get the goods?" Hu Tao also came to his senses and felt that something was not right.

"Well, maybe the immortal is asking for money. Give one hundred taels at a time and ten taels at a time, and give it a hundred times." Shen waved her hand disapprovingly and told them about what happened to her with great joy.

"I have a nephew on my mother's side. He was very naive when he was young. I always teased him by giving him one cent and three cents at a time. He always chose one cent."

"I told my parents and relatives about this. In order to tease him, my relatives asked him to choose. As a result, he always chose one penny. Later, the villagers often teased him like this."

"For three years, no matter who teased him, he would choose a penny. The children in the village grew up and called him a fool. Guess what they said in the end?"

When Shen thought of this, she laughed so hard that she fell on the kang.

Now He and Hu Tao were also curious about her and asked, "What do you mean?"

"That kid said, if he didn't choose a penny, how could so many people keep teasing him!" Shen still thinks that she was a fool for teasing her nephew at that time. After giving birth to the child, she was afraid that she would pass on her stupidity to the child.

Yu Hongdou smiled, and to make matters worse, she asked Shen: "Second sister-in-law, every time your nephew chooses a penny, does he keep the money for himself?"
