Chapter 116 Good thing

—

The next day,

Wang Zhuangzhi got up early, carried his hunting tools and went out to patrol nearby.

Liu Zhihua also got up early and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Since she came back from the temple, the head of the house didn't say those words anymore, and she didn't want to leave home by chance.

Neither of them mentioned that matter again. The head of the family had to go out to patrol in the morning, noon and evening. Let’s count it as a day. It’s not guaranteed that no one will come to make trouble. They are worrying too much.

After lunch,

Wang Zhuangzhi and the boys are in the pond, cleaning up some lotus leaves on the pond, otherwise the lotus leaves will be crowded and unable to shine in the sun, and the fish still need to shine in the sun to grow better.

Liu Zhihua was washing in the front yard, when she heard a knock on the door suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and she was nervously preparing to call the master.

At this time, the familiar voice came again.

"Ambition! Great news, open the door!"

Seeing a voice like Sun Sihai's, Liu Zhihua didn't bother to call for the master, and ran straight to the gate to open it.

The one who came into view was Sun Sihai with a hasty expression. He drove an old carriage, sweating profusely and said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, is ambition at home?"

Liu Zhihua thought something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Yes, you come in and drink slowly, I will call someone for you."

After finishing speaking, she hurried to the backyard to call for someone.

After a while, the couple came back together.

Wang Zhuangzhi looked anxious, stepped forward and asked, "Sihai, what happened?"

Sun Sihai regained his strength, got up and said excitedly: "I went to the town to sell wild game early in the morning, and I didn't expect to see many debt collectors gathered in front of Zhao's house. I heard that there was something wrong with the goods of Zhao's house. The cargo of the three major ships sank to the bottom of the sea, and nearly hundreds of thousands of taels were lost, and now the whole government is behind closed doors, and it is estimated that the Zhao family is going to be ruined."

Wang Zhuangzhi and Liu Zhihua looked at each other in disbelief, both of them couldn't hide their excitement, Wang Zhuangzhi took his good brother's hand to confirm again: "This, really is something wrong with the Zhao family?"

"No, I passed by all the way, and the common people were cheering and shouting that the Zhao family's good life is over. That's more than a hundred thousand taels. The Zhao family may not be able to pay it back, and those who want debts at the door are also very happy. It's the bosses of various shops, who say they want to unite and sue him to the government, anyway, this is a good thing for us." Sun Sihai said with a smile.

"God bless, it must be the Bodhisattva protecting our family!" Liu Zhihua's eyes turned red when she said that.

Wang Zhuangzhi also heaved a sigh of relief. His muscles and bones that had been tense for the past few days finally relaxed a little. He patted Sun Sihai's shoulder with his big hand and said happily: "Sihai, thanks to you for sending this news, otherwise we wouldn't know anything about it." , let’s be happy today, let’s have a drink.”

Sun Sihai pointed to the carriage outside, and said with a smile: "I'm carrying wine in the carriage, so I know you're happy to hear the news. Today, we brothers won't go home until we're drunk."

"it is good…"

…

Qiu Sheng was originally studying in the study, but when he got up to go to the hut, he overheard the conversation between Wang Zhuangzhi and Sun Sihai outside the door.

"Wang Zhuangzhi, you are too wronged. Fortunately, this beast has suffered retribution. Where is the little man you saved back then? You are his savior. You did not hesitate to offend Mr. Zhao and cause trouble because of him. He will not Have you just left?"

Sun Sihai was a little drunk and spoke a little loudly.

"That's also a poor child, only two years older than Qiusheng. Alas, the family was in a mess because of this incident. Fortunately, it's over now, so I won't talk about it."

"You are kind-hearted. Next time you encounter these things, you must not interfere. How can we common people offend the powerful..."

Qiu Sheng returned to his study, looked at the knowledge in the textbook, but couldn't get it into his heart.

He wants to go back to the academy. Many of the knowledge taught by the master in the classroom are not in the textbooks. After all, the knowledge learned at home is limited.

After thinking about it, he got up and went out to discuss with his mother.

backyard,

In the pavilion, Liu Zhihua was humming a song, knocking on melon seeds with a happy face.

Not far away, several children are feeding fish food.

Liu Zhihua went to the kitchen to fetch water because she was too excited, and accidentally dropped a few steamed buns on the chopping board into the vegetable sink in the ground.

"Xiao Li, you crush the steamed buns before throwing them away, otherwise it won't look good when they float in the pond." Erya said while demonstrating.

Jiaojiao also came to her sister's side, imitating her sister's appearance, tearing small pieces of steamed buns with her fingers.

Xiao Li didn't have that much patience. After feeding for a while, he stopped feeding, and went to take the broom again and said that he would do sanitation near the pond.

Erya and Jiaojiao sat on the bridge, throwing the torn buns into the river.

Qiusheng saw such a scene when he came, and immediately smiled a little, and walked straight to the pavilion.

Seeing Qiusheng, Liu Zhihua hurriedly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in front of him with a smile, and said with a smile: "It can be regarded as coming out, you will be bored in the house these two days, my mother will be so worried, and reading is not like this." Fa, it’s not good for your eyes to stay indoors all the time, you can read it in the pavilion in the backyard with your textbook, and it’s cool and sunny here.”

Qiu Sheng nodded upon hearing this, "Well, it won't be like this next time."

Liu Zhihua was happy today, so she asked: "Is there no pocket money in hand, mother will prepare two taels for you when I go back later, I should eat and drink when I go to the academy, and don't be reluctant to buy it when I go shopping with my classmates. Buy two brand-new robes, the Buddha depends on the gold clothes, and the people rely on the clothes, my son studies well, and the bright clothes are worthy of it."

Qiu Sheng smiled on his pretty face, shook his head lightly and said, "I haven't spent the money I gave last time. I'll talk to my mother when it's gone."

Not only did the money given by his mother not move much, but he also helped to copy notes for his classmates. While earning money, he could also increase the number of revisions.

"Okay, that mother will stop talking." Liu Zhihua smiled helplessly.

Qiu Sheng paused for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "Mom, the exam is coming soon. I want to go to the school in the town to take classes. The books at home are not as good as my master's teaching."

Liu Zhihua clapped her hands with a smile when she heard this, "Look at Niang, she was so happy that she forgot to talk about the business. There was an accident at Mr. Zhao's house that targeted your father earlier. It's a mess right now. Why don't you take care of us? If you want to Go back, let your father send you back tomorrow morning."

Qiu Sheng heard and nodded, "Okay."

…

The children have been busy in the pond in the backyard all afternoon, the sun has set, and Erya and her younger siblings are preparing to boil water for a bath.

But he didn’t want to go into the kitchen and watch Dad and Uncle Sihai get drunk and fall asleep on the table.
