Lin Shunshui gradually lost his patience. Why did his mother become more and more greedy?

"Mother, I only have so many. After the spring of next year, my son and cao'er will go back to the village. At that time, I don't know if I can take out 200 Wen, not to mention two liang silver. You'd better save some money."

He is really tired. Every time his mother asks for money from himself, his elder brother must have lost his cards in a mess, and the family can't open the pot.

What is this called?

Even his father is old enough to choose vegetables to go to the market. He's afraid that outsiders who don't know the truth will mutter about how unfilial he is to earn money outside?

God knows, he is really filial to his parents, just like Lao San. It's because he wants to earn money that he doesn't stay in front of his parents.

Lin Shunshui was not happy in his heart, and his words were much less. When Lin Fang asked him what to say, he didn't care. He sat at Lin Shunfeng's house for a while, not to mention someone came to move a chair and pour a cup of hot tea. He didn't even see anyone.

"Second brother, let's go back." Lin Shunhe knows that Lin Shunfeng and his wife, together with Lin Qingshan's family, must have gone out to play cards. In this way, the family will not have to open fire to cook, and a lot of money will be saved in a year. Lin Qingzhi's family must have gone back to his mother-in-law's house again. Lin Qingzhi treats his parents-in-law as his parents. As for Lin Qingbai, who knows where he has gone.

Lin Shunshui sighed bitterly in his heart, and he knew this was the case.

He shook his head. If it wasn't for Lin Shunhe's not telling the eldest brother and his family, why did he bother so much.

"Father, mother, I'll go back to the third one first." Knowing that Lin Shunfeng's family was not at home, he didn't say that he invited his parents to the third family for dinner.

Lin Shunhe is used to such things. In the past, when Lin Shunfeng and his family were not at home, they all made some food by themselves.

"Go back. The boss won't come back until after dinner. You two will come back in the evening. We still need to have a lot of blind dates between brothers, so that we can have a deep relationship." Mr. Lin told them again.

Lin Shunshui was so surprised that he couldn't help asking: "the eldest brother's family won't come back for dinner?"

"Well, sometimes, sometimes not, most of the time not. Your elder brother is very economical. He thought that he had eaten outside and saved food for us to stutter."

My God, is this really from a mother's stomach?

If Lin Shunshui and his brother didn't look like each other, I doubt that they were held up.

In the evening, Lin Shunshui was so angry that he didn't want to go to the door of Lin Shunfeng's house because of the day's business. Naturally, his good fortune didn't come true.

The thick snow accumulated for several days has not yet melted. In the new cold wind, sporadic snowflakes are floating in the sky. Two people are slowly walking back at the entrance of Xiatang village. Clogs are stepping on the yellow mud and snow, and the yellow and black snow water is splashing away.

Lin Shunfeng suddenly took a breath of the frozen air, and then choked heavily.

Niu Meihua walked beside him, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking. He walked towards home with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"Damn it, even a clog doesn't make me happy." Lin Shunfeng suddenly lost his temper, threw the clogs on his left foot not far away, and fell heavily on the snow on one side of the road, smashing a hole. It was dark, and it was a bit frightening in the cold winter.

"What's the matter with you, master?" Niu Meihua came back, stepped on the clogs carefully to one side, picked up his clogs, went to his side, bent down and put them at his feet.

"Is Lao Tzu angry?" Lin Shunfeng spits out a bad breath again.

Niu Meihua said, "what's the matter with you? Are you so lucky? I'm not lucky today, either

"Why did you lose money to me again?" Lin Shunfeng completely forgot Niu Meihua's tenderness to him just now.

He clenched his big fist hidden in his coat and kept accumulating his strength. When the owner of the fist waved it out, he hurt the person on the other side.

"No!" The night light is not very good, Niu Meihua did not notice his hidden action: "just on the table at that time won seven or eight copper plates, and then lost hands without a copper plate, who knows when the table is about to break up, I actually won back, a draw, do not lose do not win."

In fact, she lost three or two coppers, but she just didn't want Lin Shunfeng to know.

"It's just that you've lost some money. You don't lose all the time. You'll always win back. You're not very lucky this year. It's going to be new year's day. You'll be in good luck again if you get through these days."

Lin Shunfeng doesn't know whether it will be transshipped next year. He is worried about another thing.

"You know what, I'm upset about something else."

"Anything else? When you go out all day, besides playing cards, what else do you have to worry about? "

Niu Meihua didn't believe him at all.

"I've said that. What do you know about your mother-in-law? I heard a bad news for us today, and I don't know whether it's true or false?" Lin Shunfeng couldn't see through the truth of it."What's the matter? You can tell me. At least three cobblers can be Zhuge Liang." Niu Meihua urged him to speak quickly.

Lin Shunfeng felt very uncomfortable. He thought that if he told his mother-in-law, he might be able to understand the interests here.

"I ask you, what's wrong with the second one coming back?"

Niu Meihua waved his hand and replied, "what's the matter? Doesn't it mean that his boss wants to keep him there for the new year and help him do things for some time? It's not that they don't have any money to give. Everyone will be happy to change it. What's more, they have been servants there for many years. "

Lin Shunfeng said again, "ah, you mother-in-law, I'm telling you something serious."

"Didn't I answer that seriously? By the way, what's wrong with you? " Niu Mei's curiosity has been drawn out.

Lin Shunfeng then said, "it's nothing. Isn't it the rich master who asked me to play cards in Wangfu building today? He's in business, and the people he invited are also in business. He just lacks someone who can help feed cards. Knowing that I have this hobby, he invited me to play cards with him today. Although I'm not very lucky, I didn't lose money when I ate the wine and vegetables at that table. "

Speaking of this, he took out two bags of food wrapped in lotus leaves from his arms. Niumeihua only felt a delicious smell coming from her nostrils and went straight into her stomach, which made her hungry Harry flow more than three feet.

"What's good? "The smell of thieves." The eyes of niumei are almost glued to the head.

Who knows, Lin Shunfeng put the two lotus leaf bags back: "I'm not very lucky today. I'll take it back to coax my mother. I always want her to take out some copper plates. They're all stewed beef, and a bag of braised pig's feet. We can have a good breakfast tomorrow morning."

He put his hands to his mouth and said, "speaking of this trouble, I have to say that I went there to play cards. Because of the comfort of the service in the restaurant, the warm tea snacks have never been broken. I greedily ate a few more pieces, poured a few cups of hot tea, and urinated. I went to the thatched cottage while I was shuffling. Who knows...

speaking of what he heard, Lin Shunfeng's face became more ugly.

"What's the matter?" Niu Meihua saw that he suddenly did not speak, and he had an unexpected premonition, which made him more and more anxious.

"I'll tell you in a whisper." Lin Shunfeng got closer and said in a low voice, "I heard a middle-aged man with a foreign accent saying to another man that there is a rich man in the county who has committed a crime. He may be caught and invited to prison after opening the Yamen in the new year."

Niu Meihua immediately relaxed and said, "what do I say? It turns out that it's this. What does it have to do with us?"

"I haven't finished yet." Lin Shunfeng fiercely attacked her.

"I didn't care what these two people said. But one of them accidentally said the owner's surname. I felt familiar at that time and didn't think about it carefully. Later, after dinner, I came back to pick you up on the way. Isn't that the owner's surname the place where our second family works?"

"Can't it be true? I'll tell you, it's not a new year. I'm looking forward to the new year. I don't wait to come back for the new year, but I prefer to come back before the new year. Which family's sons go out and come back before the new year's Eve, just to have a happy new year with the family? "

After Lin Shunfeng's reminding, Niu Meihua's heart also murmured: "the master, is there a mistake?"

"I don't know. When I think about it all the way, I always feel that it's strange for the old couple to come back. You say, if the boss asked for leave and let the couple come back for the new year, why didn't Qingye and Qingliu come back? Even Yingxi was released to my hometown. At the beginning of the year, did the old couple find something wrong with their boss It's so exciting. "

Niu Meihua was very annoyed and said, "Oh, don't mention it. I met two people last night, and I was dazed by the gifts they gave me. Now I think of it, the second one estimates that he hasn't paid my mother the money he earned for a year."

"No, we have to hurry up and go back to ask Niang about it. It's very likely that his boss has really committed a crime, but he hasn't cleared up yet. He's afraid that the second couple will run away and detain Qingye and Qingliu in that house."

The more Lin Shunfeng said, the more he thought it was possible.

He tightened his tight jacket. It was a new jacket cut this autumn, but it still couldn't resist the cold of winter night. His bones were almost stiff with cold, and his knees didn't bend smoothly.

Wearing heavy clogs, they didn't walk fast. Moreover, because there was no extra money at home to buy the kind made of cowhide and iron nails, Lin Shunfeng and Niu Meihua wore clogs made of practical wood.

If you get wet, it will be heavier.

Lin Shunfeng laboriously raised his feet and walked forward, breathing heavily. His voice was like someone pulling a broken bellows, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Niu Mei deep foot, shallow foot with his back, the final enemy but the man's physical strength, gradually was pulled away.
