"yes!"
"you!"
"Housekeeper, please come in, miss and uncle!"
Mrs. Tong was anxiously waiting for Tong Yuer and Miao Chuhe. Although Mama Liu brought Tong Yuer's words back, she was still worried that Miao Chuhe would ignore the matter. When she heard that they were coming, she felt relieved and felt very comforted. Still caring about her husband's mood, Dang even ordered the housekeeper, and said decisively to Master Tong: "Chu He is willing to come to the door, at least it shows that he is a kind and righteous man. Master, I don't care about the past, I only know my son I don’t know what kind of suffering I’m suffering in the hands of those villains now! My uncle is a scholar, maybe there is any good way to save my son? Master, if you don’t want to see you, you should avoid it. In short, today’s daughter, son-in-law, we It’s decided! What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and invite them in!”
Mrs. Tong is rarely tough, but when she is tough, she is indeed infinitely powerful. The housekeeper was stunned, and quickly agreed, turned around and hurried away, while Master Tong's mouth moved, obviously unhappy in his heart, the rebuttal But I can't say a word!
Tell him to avoid? Madame is not confused! This is his home, why should he avoid it!
"He will help you find a way?" Master Tong sneered, "I'm afraid it's just to watch the fun!"
"You!" Madam Tong choked with anger when she heard this, "Our Yu'er has never been so blind! I can't go wrong with the person she picks!"
Master Tong's eyes widened in anger and he almost jumped: "She can't pick the wrong person? That's because I have bad eyesight! I picked the wrong person!"
Mrs. Tong turned her head away and ignored him, quite acquiescing.
Master Tong was so angry that he immediately wanted to get up and leave, but then thought that this was his home, and this walk was really like avoiding, so he sat down bitterly.
"Father! Mother!" The two were quarreling awkwardly. Tong Yu'er and Miao Chuhe had already hurried in from the outside. Tong Yuer stepped into the once familiar home again. It's wet.
"Yu'er!" She still couldn't help Mrs. Tong, an elderly person who was more likely to touch the scene and get hurt, how could she bear it? Stepped forward and hugged her daughter, the mother and daughter embraced each other and wept.
Liu Ma waited for a while before persuading her.
"You guys are here!" Mrs. Tong wiped her tears, forced Miao Chuhe to sit down with a forced smile, and ordered tea to be served.
Miao Chuhe saw the two of them with salute, so he sat down at the bottom. He sneaked a glance at Mr. Tong. Mr. Tong's face was naturally not good-looking, and he didn't say hello when he saw him, so he pretended not to see him, but at least he didn't ask someone to drive him out.
"Mother, Yi'er - what's the matter?" Tong Yu'er didn't care to say anything else, so she hurriedly asked.
Mrs. Tong sighed, briefly explained the matter, glanced at her husband and said, "As soon as this happened, our old couple panicked and didn't know what to do! Oh, your father has to go there in person tomorrow. Giving money to those thieves, I—”
"How can this be done!" Tong Yu'er said urgently: "Father is already old, how can he go? We don't even know who the other party is, so what if something happens again!"
Miao Chuhe also said: "Yu'er is right, it's better to discuss this matter—"
"What else is there to discuss!" Master Tong suddenly said angrily: "I have already given this silver ticket! Otherwise, what if my son gets hurt in any way, that would be great!"
"Father, you can report to the government—"
Before Tong Yu'er could finish her sentence, Master Tong and Mrs. Tong changed their colors and said in unison: "Don't do it!"
Tong Yuer was stunned. On the way, she talked with Miao Chuhe all the way, and both of them thought it was better to report this matter to the authorities. With Miao Chuhe's current status, the county magistrate will definitely pay attention to this matter, but his parents' reaction is so big!
"Those are extremely vicious people. The letter said that they are not allowed to report to officials, otherwise they will retaliate against your brother, Yu'er, this is absolutely impossible!" Mrs. Tong said urgently.
Master Tong snorted and said, "Rely on the government? The day lily is cold! If the government has the ability, it won't let those refugees from other places wander around here! It's not their family members who are tied up, so why should they be anxious?" ? Wait until they have received enough benefits and then dawdle to save people, then there is no need to save them! I can warn you, this is our Tong family's business, so don't make up my mind!"
Tong Yuer and Miao Chuhe looked at each other with embarrassment, and Tong Yuer responded in a low voice, "Yes."
"Father-in-law is right!" Miao Chuhe sighed slightly: "Nowadays there are many things after the disaster, and the government may be too busy, so they may not be able to spare! If you report to the government, there must be a limited number of people who can be relied on. If that’s the case, I’ll go tomorrow!”
The three members of the Tong family were stunned for a moment.
Master Tong didn't expect him to say that, and he felt a little shock and regret in his heart, but he quickly regained his face, and said proudly: "No need! They specified that our Tong family should go , the old man’s son, the old man will naturally go to save him!”
Tong Yu'er bit her lip, she couldn't help feeling sour in her heart, and couldn't help feeling sorry for her husband.
"Master, what are you talking about! Why is the son-in-law not from our own family! But, alas, Chuhe, we are not so happy to let you take risks! This matter is really—ah!" Mrs. Tong couldn't help but repeatedly sigh.
"Let me go!" Miao Chuhe said with a faint smile: "Mother-in-law, I married Yu'er, and Yi'er is also my brother. I should do this as a matter of course. Don't worry, I will be careful! Father-in-law My lord, the entire Tong family is supported by you now, you can't take risks easily, I'll go. Since they are just asking for money, I don't think there will be any serious problems with other things!"
Master Tong remained silent, and Mrs. Tong couldn't bear it, and she didn't know what to say. Tong Yu'er is even more in a dilemma, her heart can't wait to be split in two!
"Chuhe, then this matter is decided! You, you must be careful, be careful!" Tong Yu'er was heartbroken, but she had to say so. She looked at her husband with tears in her eyes, and she just thought in her heart, as long as he saves Yi'er, as long as he comes back safely, no matter what he does in the future, I will rely on him, no matter whether he has let me down or is worthy of me in this life, Even if I am an ox and a horse, I will not leave him, let alone complain...
"Don't worry!" Miao Chuhe nodded.
Madam Tong sighed and said with tears in her eyes, "Chuhe, I'm sorry! We—"
"Mother-in-law, you are serious! Chuhe dare not take what you say! This is something that should be done, and you can't take what you say!" Miao Chuhe hurriedly said.
Mrs. Tong sighed softly and nodded without saying a word, thinking the same thing, if it wasn't for the dead old man who insisted on making such a fuss, Chuhe would be the serious son-in-law of our Tong family, half a son-in-law, and he works for our Tong family, this, this is justified...
Mrs. Tong forced a smile and said: "You have worked hard all the way, hurry up and rest! I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet? I'll ask someone to take them there later!" Then she ordered Liu Ma to take them to the guest room .
"Father and mother, rest early too! Let's talk about this tomorrow!" Tong Yu'er nodded and went down with Miao Chuhe.
"I don't care what you think!" Seeing her daughter and son-in-law going out, Madam Tong sighed to Master Tong and said, "Whether Chuhe can save Yi'er tomorrow or not, I will recognize this son-in-law! In the future, our two families will communicate. If you can't see it, then don't look!"
Master Tong glanced at her, hummed in a low voice and remained silent.
Besides, now that the catastrophe has passed, all walks of life in the market have been depressed. Everyone expects that the price of food will definitely increase, and they don't know what it will look like! Who is willing to spend the money in their hands like before? The appetite was also tightly controlled.
Therefore, after most of the day, the business of the two of them was only a little more than half of what it used to be. After noon, there were even fewer people interested in it, so they didn't wait long before they packed their things and went home.
Miao Cuilan felt a little strange when she returned home and didn't see Tong Yu'er. She asked Xiaoxue and Lu Xiaoshu, who naturally didn't know about it, but Ms. Xu said a few words.
Miao Cuilan was puzzled, and when she went back to her room to count the money she earned today and calculate the income and expenditure, she was taken aback when she saw the letter on the table, and rushed out to stop Lu Zhong.
Xiaoxue and Lu Xiaoshu also heard it, and the whole family couldn't help but sink.
Miao Cuilan couldn't help feeling a lot of emotions, taking advantage of the opportunity to talk about the panic and depression that she saw at the market today, she felt even more depressed.
Lu Xiaoshu saw him and said: "Mother, it's enough for our family to be well, don't worry about so much! It's also right for my little uncle to accompany my little aunt back to take care of him, maybe he can come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow! Oh no, maybe tonight I came back in the middle of the night! Anyway, the old man of the Tong family doesn’t want to see the little uncle, so he might be beaten with a stick!”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Miao Cuilan was annoyed and amused when she heard it, and said angrily, "The little girl's mouth is open!"
"I'm not wrong! That's how it is! The old man of Tong's family saw that my uncle's nose was not his nose and eyes, and he was annoyed at the moment, so my uncle came to the door—that's good! Just to vent my anger on others!" Lu Xiaoshu Not convinced.
"You!" Miao Cuilan raised her hand in anger, then sighed and put it down, she simply ignored her, and said to Lu Zhong worriedly: "What can I do! Chuhe's temper, alas, I really can't rest assured! No, I have to go and see!"
Miao Cuilan did what she said, and immediately turned around and went back to her room to change clothes.
"Cuilan!" Lu Zhong hurriedly pulled her back, and said, "Chuhe should go back with his younger siblings. I don't know how anxious Mr. Tong and his wife are at this time. How can they still remember the previous grievances? Don't worry." Let’s go! Besides, Chuhe is a juren after all, and no one dares to do anything to him! They should go, but what do you look like when you, a sister-in-law, ran away in a hurry? Don’t say that the relationship between our two families is already stiff. Now that you are gone, how can people have time to greet you?"
"But I—"
"Mother! I'll go, I'll go!" Lu Xiaoshu raised his hand and rushed over eagerly when he saw something was going on, "Mother, why don't you let me go! I'll go and find out!"
