Chapter 243
Lao Zhoutou carried his purse all the way back. When he arrived at the door of his house, he waved goodbye to the village chief and took out his purse as soon as the door was closed.
When Mr. Bai put the purse into his hand just now, he felt something was wrong in his hand. He opened it and poured it out, and when he saw it, a ten-tael silver ingot fell on his palm.
Zhou Lang, who was clearing away the debris in the yard, saw it and his mouth opened wide. His first thought was: "Dad, you picked up the Bai family's money bag on the road?"
In the entire Qili Village, except for the Bai family, who can afford a silver ingot worth ten taels?
Lao Zhou gave him a sideways look, "Am I that kind of person, your father? This is the compensation the Bai family gives to our family."
Zhou Lang's eyes almost popped out of his head and he asked: "Why?"
Lao Zhoutou ignored him and went directly to the main room. Zhou Lang quickly threw down the things in his hands and followed.
Lao Zhoutou told his family exactly what Mr. Bai told him, and said in a happy and relaxed mood: "So this matter has nothing to do with us. I don't know who the old lady of the Bai family has offended in her hometown, so she spent so much money."
Try to find someone with great energy."
Qian asked doubtfully, "Are you really not here for Erlang?"
Zhou Yin is the second eldest son in the family, and Qian was always called Erlang Erlang in the past.
Old Zhou nodded, "No, the Bai family has no reason to lie to us, and they have already interrogated people."
Mr. Qian breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at the money in his hand.
Lao Zhoutou smiled and gave her his purse and silver ingot, "Now it's good. I've earned back all the money I spent, and the roof can be repaired."
Qian nodded and said, "Let the children rest for a while and let them buy the tiles in two days."
"OK!"
When Friday Lang heard that his family was rich, he immediately ran over and asked, "Mom, can the money we collected be returned to us?"
"No." Mr. Qian put away the silver ingot with an expressionless face and said, "There is no reason to take back the gifts given out, and the same goes for the money from the public. Anyway, the money will be spent at home in the end."
Wu Lang was a little disappointed, as were the other brothers, but although disappointed, everyone was in a good mood, after all, the sharp blade hanging above their heads disappeared.
So Zhou Lang suggested, "Mom, it's such a good thing, should we buy some meat to celebrate?"
Qian's thought was right, so she opened the money box and gave him a handful of copper plates, saying, "Go ahead and buy more."
Zhou Lang became happy, took the money, left his yard work and went to Dali Village, taking his wife with him, of course.
Fang was actually a little curious and asked him in a low voice, "Did something happen to the uncle at home?"
Zhou Lang froze, and then he remembered that they would subconsciously avoid Man Bao when they said these things, but they did not avoid Fang.
He scratched his head. This matter was too big to talk nonsense about, but his wife was a member of his own family and it was impossible to hide it from her.
After thinking about it, she said: "I will tell you later. By the way, don't tell your parents about this. If they know that someone is fighting in our house, they will definitely be worried about you. And this is the Bai family's business. We don't
So talkative."
Fang nodded.
Zhou Lang talked about meat, "Do you think it's better to buy mutton from your house, or buy pork?"
Fang glanced at him, "What do you think?"
Zhou Lang immediately smiled flatteringly, "Of course it's better to buy mutton. By the way, you haven't been back to your parents' house for a long time. Just now, your mother asked you to bring some eggs back. Your family doesn't raise chickens, so you have to buy eggs..."
Fang felt happy and responded softly.
This matter was the fault of the Bai family, not the Zhou family. Naturally, the village chief would not hide this matter, so after returning home, he met with several elderly people and some heads of households to reassure them.
The person who came was not for Zhou Yin, but for the Bai family, and he had little to do with them.
As soon as the pot was confirmed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the knife hanging above their heads fell to the ground.
Zhou Yin is not only Zhou Jin's younger brother, but also a member of Qili Village. Members of the Zhou clan, everyone in the village has concealed what happened back then.
So they all have something to do with this matter, so it's strange that they don't worry about it.
Now that the pot was taken away by the Bai family, everyone felt relieved and found that they had received two gifts today, one from the Bai family and one from the Zhou family.
Some people were wondering whether to return the Zhou family's share. Zhou Dazhu was a little hesitant. Not to mention the basket of rice and eggs, the two hundred coins alone were quite a lot. Since this matter has nothing to do with the old Zhou family, the Bai family also
If they gave money for condolences, then they have to pay it back, right?
After all, it’s not easy for anyone.
But the village chief waved his hand and said: "Don't think about it. If you send it back, they won't accept it, and you are not the only one who will be injured. If you send it away, what will happen if others don't? Let's just leave it like this, wrong.
I'm wrong, wait two days and let your two brothers and Erlang buy tiles and fix the roof of his house."
Qian is also teaching her sons and daughter-in-law, "No matter who sends things back, they are not allowed to accept them. Although they came to the Bai family, the fight was at our house, and they were all
He only took action because of our family."
Qian said: "It's because we have a guilty conscience, so we still have to bear half of the responsibility for this matter. There is no reason to take back what we gave out."
Zhou Dalang, Xiao Qian and others responded in low voices.
After Qian finished speaking, she realized that Man Bao was not there. She turned around and asked Xiao Qian, "Where is Man Bao?"
"I went to the Bai family's house with the young master of the Bai family. The house was in chaos, so I thought it would be good for her to go to the Bai family's house to play."
Mr. Qian nodded and Zhou Lang said, "It's summer in Manbao's house, but it's a bit cold late at night. The roof leaks and the cold wind blows. What should I do if I get sick?"
Zhou Lang: "...Lao Si has used up Man Bao's thatch."
Qian stared.
Wu Lang said with a smile: "Man Bao said it, saying that she likes to have the roof exposed so that she can see the stars and the moon at night."
Qian waved her hand helplessly, "Forget it, it only takes two days, let her live with me for these two days."
Manbao knew nothing about this. He read the book for half an hour and asked Keke if he didn't understand. Keke would tell her what he could understand. If he couldn't understand, he would search for her and find the most suitable answer from the database and tell her.
.
After studying for more than half an hour, Manbao's concentration dropped. She began to shake from side to side and became restless.
Bai Shanbao is also quietly fishing.
Suddenly the two children's eyes met, and then they laughed together, dropped the book and jumped off the chair.
Bai Shanbao said: "I feel a little thirsty."
Manbao: "I feel a little hungry."
Bai Shanbao: "Then let's take a break?"
Man Bao readily agreed.
So she poured water and took out some snacks to eat. The two children started chatting away from each other. Manbao also invited Bai Shanbao to stay at her house at night, "You can sleep with me, and then we can watch the stars together. I did it last night."
I went to bed so late that I didn’t even count how many stars I could see.”
