Old Zhou headed back with his purse all the way, waved goodbye to the village chief when he reached the door of his house, and took out his purse as soon as the door was closed.
When Master Bai stuffed the purse into his hand just now, he felt that it didn't feel right in his hand. When he opened it and poured it out, he saw that a ten-liang silver ingot fell on the palm of his hand.
Zhou Zhoulang, who was clearing out the sundries in the yard, saw that his mouth was wide open, and his first feeling was: "Father, did you pick up the money bag from the Bai family on the way?"
In the entire Qili Village, except for the Bai family, who can get a silver ingot worth one tael
Old Zhou gave him a sideways glance, "Are your father and I like that? This is compensation from the Bai family to our family."
Zhou Zhoulang's eyes almost popped out, and he asked, "Why?"
Old Zhou Tou ignored him and went straight to the main room. Zhou Zhoulang quickly threw the things in his hand and followed.
Old Zhou told his family exactly what Master Bai told him, and said in a happy and relaxed mood: "So this matter has nothing to do with us, and I don't know who the old lady of the Bai family offended in her hometown. Make great efforts to find someone."
Qian asked suspiciously, "Is it really not for Erlang?"
Zhou Yin is the second child at home, and Qian's family used to be called by Erlang Erlang.
Old Zhou nodded, "No, the Bai family has no reason to lie to us, and they have been interrogated."
Qian Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the money in his hand.
Old Zhou Tou gave her the purse and the silver ingot with a smile on his face, "It's all right now, I've earned back all the money I went out, and the roof can be repaired."
Mrs. Qian nodded, "Let the children rest for a while, and let them buy the tiles in two days."
"OK!"
When Zhou Wulang heard that the family had money, he immediately ran over and asked, "Mother, can you return the money we raised?"
"No." Qian put away the silver ingot with a blank face, and said, "There is no reason to take back the gift that was sent out, and the same is true for the money in the public. Anyway, the money was spent at home in the end."
Wu Wulang was a little disappointed, and so were the other brothers. Although they were disappointed, everyone was in a good mood. After all, the sharp knife hanging over their heads disappeared.
So Zhou Zhoulang suggested, "Mom, such a good thing, should we buy some meat to celebrate?"
Qian thought it was right, so he opened the money box and gave him a handful of copper coins, saying: "Go, buy more."
Zhou Zhoulang became happy, and after receiving the money, he left the work in the yard and went to Dali Village. Of course, he took his wife with him.
Fang was actually a little curious, and asked him in a low voice, "Did something happen to my uncle at home?"
Zhou Zhoulang froze, and then remembered that they said these things would subconsciously avoid Man Bao, but not Fang Shi.
He scratched his head, this matter is too big to talk nonsense, but the daughter-in-law is his own family, and it is impossible to hide it from her.
After thinking for a while, he said: "I'll tell you later, by the way, don't tell your parents about this, if they know that someone is fighting in our house, they must be worried about you, and this is a matter of the Bai family, we don't Talk a lot."
Fang nodded.
Zhou Zhoulang started talking about meat, "Do you think it's better to go to your house to buy mutton or pork?"
Fang glanced at him, "What do you think?"
Zhou Zhou Lang immediately smiled flatteringly, "Of course it's better to buy mutton. By the way, you haven't been back to your mother's house for a long time. Just now, mother asked you to bring some eggs back. Your family doesn't raise chickens, so you rely on buying eggs..."
Fang's mood brightened, and she responded softly.
This matter is the fault of the Bai family, not the Zhou family. Naturally, the village head will not hide this matter, so he went back and met with some old people and some heads of households to reassure them.
The person who came was not for Zhou Yin, but for the Bai family, and they had nothing to do with them.
Once the pot was confirmed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if the knife hanging above their heads fell to the ground.
Zhou Yin is not only Zhou Jin's younger brother, but also a member of Qili Village, a member of the Zhou clan, whoever happened in the village counted as one, and kept everything secret.
So they have something to do with this matter, so it's no wonder they don't worry about it.
Now that the pot was taken away by the Bai family, everyone was relieved to find that they had received two gifts today, one from the Bai family and one from the Zhou family.
Some people wondered whether to return the Zhou family's share, Zhou Dazhu hesitated, not to mention the basket of rice and eggs, the two hundred Wen is a lot, since this matter has nothing to do with the old Zhou family, the Bai family also The condolence money was given, so they have to return it
After all, it is not easy for anyone.
But the village chief waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it. If you send it back, their family won't accept it, and you are not the only one who is injured. If you send it away, what's the matter if the others don't? Let's leave it at that, wrong. There is a mistake, wait two days for your two younger brothers and Erlang to buy tiles and tidy up the roof of his house."
Mrs. Qian is also teaching several sons and daughters-in-law, "No matter who sends things back, they are not allowed to accept them. Although they came for the Bai family, the fight was at our house, and they are all It was aimed at our house."
Qian Shi said: "It's also our guilty conscience, so we still have to pay half of the responsibility for this matter. There is no reason to take back what has been given."
Zhou Dalang, Xiaoqian and others responded in a low voice.
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Qian realized that Man Bao was not there, and turned her head to ask Mrs. Qian, "Where is Man Bao?"
"I went to the Bai's house with the young master of the Bai family. The house is in chaos. I thought it would be good for her to go to the Bai's house to play."
Qian Shi nodded, Zhou Zhoulang said, "Has Manbao's roof been repaired? Although it's summer, it's still a little cold in the middle of the night. The roof is leaking, and the cold wind blows. What should I do if I'm sick?"
Zhou Zhoulang: "... the fourth child has used up all the thatch that is full of treasures."
Qian stared.
Wu Wulang said with a smile: "Man Bao said that she likes the roof to be exposed, and she can watch the stars and the moon at night."
Qian waved helplessly, "Forget it, it will only take two days. Let her live with me for these two days."
Man Bao didn't know anything about it, he read the book for half an hour, asked Keke what he didn't understand, and told her what Keke could understand, and searched for the most suitable answer from the database if he didn't understand, and told her .
After studying for more than half an hour, Man Bao's concentration dropped, and she began to shake from side to side, fidgeting.
Bai Shanbao was also quietly fishing.
Suddenly the eyes of the two children met, and then they laughed together, dropped the book and jumped off the chair.
Bai Shanbao said: "I feel a little thirsty."
Man Bao: "I feel a little hungry."
Bai Shanbao: "Then let's take a break?"
Man Bao readily agreed.
So I poured water, took out some snacks to eat, and the two children started chatting all over the world. Man Bao also invited Bai Shanbao to stay at her house at night, "You can sleep with me, and then we can watch the stars together. I fell asleep so fast that I didn't even count how many stars I could see."
Bai Shanbao was very moved, but he was older than Man Bao, and he already knew the difference between men and women, so he shook his head, "Your mother won't give it."
