Today is not the day for Xu Laosan to take a rest, nor is there any festival coming soon.
Why did he come back today
No matter what the people in the yard thought, Xu Laosan was back anyway.
Xu Lao Er originally wanted to run outside to hide from Mr. Xu's thunderous wrath, but when Xu Lao San interrupted him, he forgot that he wanted to avoid the beating.
Then, Mr. Xu picked up a thin branch from nowhere, pointed it directly at Mr. Xu's back, and pulled out two sticks.
"Dad, dad, it hurts, it hurts..."
Xu Laoer got two blows from Mr. Xu and jumped up to the heights, not forgetting to call out.
So, the first time Xu Laosan entered the door, he saw Mr. Xu beating his second brother.
"Dad, don't be impulsive!"
"Watch your waist carefully!"
"Second brother, don't hide. Just let dad slap you twice!"
"You are thick-skinned anyway!"
Xu Laosan stood at the door and looked at it for a while, and then started to point out the country.
After being pointed out by Xu Laosan, Mr. Xu lost interest in beating his son. He threw the branch in his hand to the ground, stared at Xu Laosan and said, "Why are you back today?"
"ah!"
After listening to Mr. Xu's question, Mr. Xu realized belatedly that he hadn't said anything serious yet.
"That's it, Dad!"
"I made money, fifty taels!"
"It's not safe to carry this with me, so I'm thinking of sending it home!"
"What?!"
"How many?!"
"Third brother, what have you done?"
Hearing Xu Laosan's words, Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu Laoer in the yard were all shocked. They couldn't believe their ears and wondered if they were hallucinating
Xu Laosan did not answer immediately, but closed the courtyard door quickly, and then whispered: "Dad, eldest brother, second brother, please keep your voice down, don't reveal your wealth to others, don't reveal your wealth to others!"
"Yep!"
As a result, the four father and son quickly got together.
Xu Laosan quickly took out the silver ingots he had carried all the way from his arms, lined them up and placed them on the stone table in the yard.
Mr. Xu and his three sons squatted around the table, staring unblinkingly at the five silver ingots placed on the table. The most outrageous thing was that Xu Laoer actually drooled. He even reached out his hand, grabbed a silver ingot, stuffed it into his mouth and bit it.
"keep it!"
Mr. Xu didn't ask how Xu Laosan earned these fifty taels. He moved very quickly and swept the five silver ingots into his arms.
"I'll send it to your mother!"
Mr. Xu, who took away the silver ingot, ran towards the hall with windy footsteps.
After Mr. Xu left, the eyes of Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu fell on Mr. Xu together.
"Third brother, you have so much money, why don't you keep some for yourself?"
"Lao San, how did you earn money?"
The concerns of Xu Lao Er and Xu Lao Da are obviously different.
Xu Laosan chuckled and said: "There is a noble man in the county who came back from the capital to worship his ancestors. He wanted to paint a portrait for his old lady, and he paid a big price."
"Your brother, I, succeeded in winning the first prize with my wonderful painting skills. This noble man gave me fifty taels of retouching fee!"
"Eldest brother, second brother, let me tell you, in the past, I always felt that our family's life was not bad. But after I went to this noble family's old house yesterday, I realized that we still have a good life. Not even close!”
"…?!"
Xu Lao and Xu Lao Er didn't want to talk this time, because they discovered for the first time that their third brother, who had always been smart and smart, was actually a bit stupid.
As far as his family is concerned, it can't be considered the first in this Lingshui Village. But in the eyes of this third brother, life turned out to be not bad.
I'm afraid he's just a fool! (End of chapter)
