"Then right now …" Linn Helin worriedly looked at Hemai: "Xiu Er followed second uncle to tailor Huang's house to count his clothes, and has not come back yet, this Second Aunt is afraid …"
Measuring clothes?
Hemai was a little surprised, she thought for a while then said to Helin: "Don't care about her, let's go."
"Go?" But she … " Linn Helin looked at the Lady Zhao on the ground with fear in her eyes, her legs trembling.
Hemai looked at Linn Helin in disdain, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This Linn Helin, if I were to say that he doesn't have any manliness, it wouldn't be true — he even dared to ask about the Zhao Family's house and crops, and even took the initiative to request to bear the consequences after her sister knocked out someone.
However, if one were to talk about his manliness, he was probably only the size of a pinky.
But just based on the fact that Linn Helin was willing to take the initiative to take responsibility, she, Linn Hemai, would definitely recognize this brother!
With that in mind, Hemai pulled Linn Helin's sleeves and said firmly: "Brother, don't be afraid.
In her hand was a trump card that could turn the world upside down like Linn Changxi and his wife. If Mrs Zhao came to cause trouble, she would reveal his trump card. She wasn't afraid that she wouldn't be able to divert Mrs Zhao's attention.
Linn Helin still had a bit of hesitation, he looked at the unconscious Mrs Zhao below him, and bit on his lips.
"If there are any consequences, I'll just carry them!" Hemai pulled Linn Helin's sleeve as the two of them walked out of the Linn Family courtyard.
On the way, Linn Helin lowered his head, his expression uneasy.
Hemai was not worried at all, instead, she was suspicious and angered him with another matter. Not long later, she asked Helin, "Why would second uncle bring Xiu Er to measure her clothes?"
"Oh, second uncle said that he's an elder so it's only right for him to make a new set of clothes for his daughter-in-law." Helin said.
Of course?
Hearing that, Hemai laughed in her heart.
Even if Linn Changxi wanted to trick him, he wouldn't find a good excuse. This iron rooster was stingy to the point of being unfilial, to the point of being scolded. He actually told Linn Helin that he valued his identity as a second uncle, it was laughable!
Hemai asked again, "I'm afraid that it's not just because of this matter right? second uncle didn't say anything else to you? "
Linn Helin opened his mouth, a look of unease flashed past his eyes, "No, I didn't say anything."
Hemai naturally noticed the change in his expression, but she did not expose it.
Passing by Madam Qin's courtyard, the brother and sister went in to sit and chat with Madam Qin.
When he mentioned about the lunch, Helin just said that everything was fine, so the old lady could be at ease.
When the two of them were returning to the Yang Family, Hemai asked: "Your wife is still not coming back? You didn't measure clothes that long, did you? "
"Maybe, maybe make a few more." Helin stammered.
Hemai looked at him, sighed, and stopped walking: "Brother, if you don't tell me the truth, no one can help you. Tell me honestly, are there any problems between you and Xiu Er? "
She did not beat around the bush and directly asked Linn Helin about his concerns.
A flash of astonishment appeared in Linn Helin's eyes, and he was stunned, "Little sister …"
A trace of awkwardness flashed across his handsome face. "I-I don't want to say it, I don't want to give you any trouble!"
"What is it?" Hemai urged.
Linn Helin's handsome face swelled up, and he said embarrassedly: It's, it's Xiu Er, he owes me a sum of silver.
Hemai calmly asked: "How much?"
"Five liang." Linn Helin replied.
Linn Hemai's taut heartstrings relaxed a little. Just as he was about to exhale, he heard from Linn Helin: "But he didn't pay within the deadline and went to the gambling den to raise silver. In the end … I owe you two hundred silver. "
The breath that Hemai was just about to exhale, carried by the cold wind, was once again swallowed back into her stomach.
"You …" Hemai calmed the Qi in his chest, and asked with wide eyes: "She went to the gambling den with a woman, and still owes over two hundred silver? Where were you? "
"At that time, she was being chased by her creditor for money, so when I saw her, I decided to help her and paid back the five taels of silver." "Afterwards, I found out that she still owes a large sum of money to the gambling den …" Linn Helin said honestly.
"In other words, you two didn't know her when she was gambling in the gambling den. After you met her, did you know that she owed you so much silver? "
"Yes," Helin nodded in acknowledgement, "But at that time, we had already... Cough cough, I have already made a personal engagement, so this is Xiu Er's business, isn't it mine? "
Hemai secretly shook her head, but she did not want to discuss the right and wrong of this matter with Helin, so she asked again: "Then what does this have to do with the second uncle? Does he know? "
"Got it," Helin nodded heavily, a look of embarrassment on his face. "I don't know where second uncle found out about this, but he just told me that if the creditor comes looking for me, he can lend me some silver. But recently, his family's Feng Shui is not good, so he wants to borrow my Emerald Pi Xiu to wear."
Linn Helin had worn the Jadeite Pi Xiu since he was young. had brought it back with him when he was young.
Presumably, this Linn Changxi was aiming for the last valuable item on Linn Helin's body! However, this statement was too crude!
Hemai sneered, "Using him to complete the task is as good as becoming an emerald! If I lend it to him, it would be like letting it fall into a dog's stomach. "
Helin sighed, "I don't agree to this matter, but second uncle seems to not let this matter go, and brought Xiu Er out. Eh, I originally planned to not let Xiu Er and second uncle go out."
"Can you control her? I'm afraid that you won't even feel it if these two people secretly come up with some rotten idea to trick you. " Hemai said indifferently.
Helin shook his head, "How can that be? Xiu Er is soon to be one of us, so of course you're on the same side as me. "
Hemai curled her lips, and mercilessly struck him down. "Don't, don't, don't, only you and Xiu Er are one family, Grandma and I are another family with Liulang."
Helin was startled, and laughed bitterly: "Little sister, you're worried about that debt on Xiu Er's body? I have thought it through. Worse comes to worse, I will just treat this piece of jade as my own! "
Hemai glanced at him, then sighed softly, "It's such a pity that you spent your entire life reading those books, and ended up falling in the palm of a woman's hand. Forget it, you won't listen to anyone's words. Just do whatever you want! "
After returning home, Helin seemed to have found something on his mind due to Hemai's words, as he dejectedly went into the room and did not come out for the next day.
Hemai was busy with chores in the courtyard and she had not been taking good care of them for the past few days.
In the days since he had opened up the vegetable patch, there had been small harvests in the field.
Young green onions and cilantro grew, and a few small melons had already sprouted.
Hemai scooped water from the ground and poured it over the ground before she cleaned up the place and returned back to the house.
When they arrived in the dark, Yang Liulang went home to give Hemai a piece of news. After discussing it with Ma Er and his brothers, he decided to build another house for his family.
"Build another house? This is no small matter! " Hemai was a little surprised, "Liulang, are you doing this for my brothers? Of course not! "They …"
