Beloved Plantation King

The next day, Yin Peinan didn't go hunting.

A Niang and Shuizhu had warned him early in the morning, his arm was still injured, and he was not allowed to take the risk of hunting again.

Yin Peinan didn't plan to go today either, he had to find a way to find out whether Zuo An was the captain or not.

But before that, their family still has one important thing to do.

After breakfast, they took the silver and the pork that Yin Peinan specially bought yesterday, and went door to door to pay off their debts and thank them for their help over the years.

Zhao Xiu'e went back to her mother's house, and Yin Peinan's three brothers and sisters were in charge of the village.

The villagers now look at Yin Peinan with admiration.

Yesterday, a villager also went to the city, and when he came back, he sold the big bug for 410 taels of silver.Before Yin Peinan and Uncle Daqiang came back, the news had already spread throughout the village.

Now people who lent money to them are very happy to see that they have the money and return it immediately. Besides, they also brought a large piece of meat, which weighs two catties, and they are even happier.

It was already half morning when Yin Peinan came back from paying off his debts. After talking to Shui Zhu, he turned around and walked towards Zuo An's house at the entrance of the village.

Zuo An is over there.

When he arrived, Zuo Tugen was taking his two sons with him, and several other men in the village were demolishing the half-collapsed beam.

Zuo An sat in a wheelchair and watched under the big tree not far away, while talking to the middle-aged man, the little girl next to him stood tightly next to Zuo An's wheelchair.

They had their backs to Yin Peinan, but he had good hearing, so when he passed by, he accidentally overheard their conversation.

Over there, Wen Yi whispered to Zuo An, "Xiao An, we don't have much money, I guess it's only enough for wages."

Zuo An asked softly, "How much more?"

Wen Yi replied: "Less than three taels."

Zuo An thought for a while, looked at the front and pondered: "It's okay, he will help us out."

"Him?" Wen Yi glanced over there, his eyes full of sarcasm, "You heard what the couple said this morning, how could they help us out?"

This morning, Zuo An and Wen Yi got up early because it was not easy to snooze in other people's homes.

In the slack winter, there was little work, Zuo Tugen’s second son, his wife and children were still asleep, Zuo Tugen and his wife got older and slept less, got up early, and cooked the porridge for breakfast in the kitchen.

When Zuo An and Wen Yi passed by, they just heard the couple talking about them, so they stopped.

In the kitchen, the aunt asked Zuo Tugen: "Have you asked Zuo An, what happened to his father?"

Zuo Tugen replied: "I didn't have time to ask last night, I guess they are gone, otherwise they wouldn't come back."

"It's gone?" Auntie was very surprised, "Be-beheaded?"

Zuo Tugen didn't answer.

There was silence in the room for a while, and then my aunt asked tremblingly: "Then, what happened to that? I heard that many high officials committed crimes because their homes were confiscated and imprisoned the nine clans. We won't be implicated, right?"

Zuo Tugen replied: "Zuo An and the others are fine, we will be fine."

"What if they escaped back?"

"Who is so stupid to run away and return home?"

"I'm not afraid of what happens."

Zuo Tugen: "In short, let's get them a house as soon as possible. If they don't live with us, they'll be fine."

"By the way," the aunt said again: "It costs a lot of money to repair the house. You need to get the money from them before repairing it. Don't ask us to pay it then."

Zuo Tugen responded: "Understood."

"Also, did Zuo An give you the money you asked for the doctor yesterday?"

Zuo Tugen: "No, just forget about the money."

Aunt: "Thirty Wen, what is it, how much money is not money?"

The two started arguing, maybe they were afraid of being heard, so they both paid attention to lowering their voices.

Zuo Tugen, "You stingy woman, our house was built with other people's money, and you still ask him for some money for medicine. If it gets out, do you still want to be a human being? At that time, when I went to Beijing, I couldn't bear the disease. For half a month, they asked the doctor to treat me with good medicine, how dare you ask me to ask them for the thirty coins? Ah, tell me, how can I ask for it?"

The aunt choked for a moment: "...Then, they have money, so it won't matter if you give us some. And they must have money with them when they come back from the capital, so I want you to be generous? The three of them live in our house these days , the rice is fine, but the thirty cash...forget it, if you don’t want the thirty cash, you don’t want it, but you have to get the money for the house repair first!”

Zuo Tugen: "Understood! I didn't even say to give them the money to repair the house!"

Zuo An and Wen Yi looked at each other, didn't listen any more, and went back to the room with a feeling of disappointment.

Thinking of what happened in the morning, Zuo An snorted coldly, "When he came to our house to beat the autumn wind, he asked for a lot of money. He used our money to build two tile-roofed houses and help us repair a thatched cottage. Not willing, I have a way to make him willing."

Zuo An originally just wanted to borrow money from Zuo Tugen to repair the house first, and then pay it back when he has money.After hearing what the couple had said in the morning, he changed his mind.

Wen Yi sighed.

Yin Peinan was about to go forward when he saw Zuo Tugen walking quickly towards Zuo An and the others, as if he had something to say.Yin Peinan took a few steps back and stood behind a tree, wanting to wait for them to finish talking before going over.

Over there, when Zuo Tugen approached, Zuo An lowered the coldness in his eyes, and said: "Tang uncle Lao, what's the matter? We don't understand these things, uncle Lao bothered."

Zuo Tugen shook his head and said: "It's all right, it should be. That's it, Xiao An, we just saw that the wood used for the beams of the house is too old, it has been exposed to the sun, it is not strong, and it needs to be bought again. "

Zuo An nodded, very simply: "Then buy it. What about the other side?"

Zuo Tugen said: "The other side is not that serious, but it's best to buy it together, so you can live longer."

Zuo An continued to nod, "Okay, everything is up to Tang Bo."

Hearing that he deserved it so readily, Zuo Tugen felt that there was no big problem, and said, "Then I'll arrange someone to buy it right away. Look, Xiao An, first pay us three taels of silver to buy wood?"

Zuo An was silent for a while, then looked up at Zuo Tugen with a troubled expression on his face, and said, "Tang uncle, to be honest, we have no money. We have run out of money when we came all the way back from the capital."

"Ah?" Zuo Tugen's heart skipped a beat, he looked at him in embarrassment, and said, "Then, what should we do?"

Zuo An looked at Zuo Tugen expectantly, and said: "My nephews, now I can only rely on my uncle."

Zuo Tugen: "..."

Zuo Tugen was dumbfounded, and asked: "...Is there really nothing?"

Zuo An nodded, and said: "The money we came back from was borrowed by my little daddy."

Zuo Tugen raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and asked, "Why don't I ask the villagers to borrow some for you?"

Zuo An was silent for a while, and then said: "Uncle, my father used to tell me that I had the best relationship with you when I was young, so in the past he was reluctant to let you suffer, so he helped if he could."

When he said this, he deliberately paused, and seeing Zuo Tugen's face suddenly changed, he continued: "Actually, our family didn't have much money before. Living in the capital, we spend a lot of money on weekdays, and my father has to pay for it every year in the officialdom." There are many places to spend money, so we live on our father’s Weibo salary and Zhuangzi’s money. Every time you come, we have to live frugally for the next year. But every time When you come to Beijing, your father will still take some of it for you to take back to your hometown. Now, my nephew’s family is in trouble, and I hope to get help from my cousin’s family.”

Zuo Tugen heard the words and knew that Zuo An wanted to get the money by himself, but the house was so dilapidated that it was said to be repaired, but in fact it was almost the same as rebuilding.

Zuo Tugen stammered and said: "...Xiao An, it's not that my uncle doesn't want to help you, but that my uncle is really powerless and doesn't have that much money. I think I'd better borrow it..."

I wanted to touch people with love, but I didn't expect it to be impossible, Zuo An turned cold, looked at Zuo Tugen, and interrupted him coldly.

"Cousin, you are getting old, so your memory may not be very good. Fortunately, my nephew is still young, with a good memory and good eyesight. I think my aunt's gold earrings and gold ring are the first in the whole village." ?”

Zuo An could see clearly that his cousin's house had four big tile-roofed houses, and the warehouse had enough rice and grain, as well as charcoal.Although the clothing materials of the adults and children in his family are ordinary, there are few patches. Moreover, the aunt and cousins ​​both wear gold rings, and they are obviously living a good life.

Zuo An even suspected that it was bought with money from his father!

"This, this..." Zuo Tugen stuttered and couldn't speak.The gold earrings and gold ring were also bought after returning from Shangjing.

Zuo An stopped talking nonsense with him, and said directly: "You remember how much money my father gave you over the years, and so do I. You went to Beijing five times, at least 400 taels. Now, I don't want much from you either. Just fix the house for me."

Yin Peinan waited behind the tree for a while, he heard all the conversation between the two just now.He frowned, this Zuo Tugen is really ungrateful.

However, is this Zuo An really the captain?The captain never talks much, he only talks about the important points and never talks nonsense, but just now Zuo An said so much...

At this time, seeing Zuo Tugen walking away, Yin Peinan waited for a while longer, then he deliberately stepped on a dead branch, made a noise, and approached.

"Zuo An? Are you repairing the house? Need help?"

Hearing the sound, the three of Zuo An turned around and saw that it was Yin Peinan, the coldness in Zuo An's eyes warmed up, and he replied: "Well, I want to fix it before the Chinese New Year, so I don't want to disturb Tang Bo's house all the time."

Yin Peinan nodded and looked at the dilapidated house in front of him. Six or seven people had been busy for most of the morning and hadn't finished demolishing the beams.

He asked: "The Chinese New Year is only a few days away, is there time?"

Zuo An thought for a while and said, "I don't know, I don't understand this very well."

Yin Peinan withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at Zuo An, and opened his mouth, wanting to ask if you are the captain.

But there are two people beside him, so it is definitely not acceptable to ask like this.

He frowned and scratched his head, what should he ask?It should not appear abrupt and weird, but also let those who understand understand it naturally, and those who don't understand can't hear what's weird.

This is really sad.

Zuo An raised his eyes slightly, and saw him scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks, wanting to say something but didn't know how to say it, a smile flashed in his cold eyes.

He was not in a hurry and just looked at Yin Peinan.

"That..." Yin Peinan looked at Zuo An, just in time to meet Zuo An's eyes.When he looked at the eyes and the face in front of him, he was confused for a moment, as if he was facing the captain.

"Huh? What do you want to say?" Zuo An asked.

Wen Yi and Zuo Baoying also looked at him curiously.

Yin Peinan looked at Zuo An, "Can I chat with you alone for a while?"

Zuo An raised his eyebrows and replied, "Okay. You can push me over there."

When the two walked a little further away, both Wen Yi and Zuo Baoying looked at them.

After stopping, Zuo An said, "Let's talk."

Yin Peinan opened his mouth and choked out a sentence: "...do you know an old man named 'KFC'?"
