Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 165 The Gambler ([-])

Du Xiaoyu turned around and closed the door, and said contemptuously, "You say you want money to show your filial piety, but you actually want to cheat into your own pocket."

Du Xian was puzzled, "What do you mean by that?" The Du family's hundreds of mu of land was distributed to a few sons every month, which was worth a lot of money, so he didn't have to worry about food and drink. How could he expect that Du Tang would come to cheat money.

Mrs. Zhao was also very surprised, "Shouldn't it? If you want to cheat, you have to ask his mother for it."

"He probably lost money in a bet again."

As early as last year, she heard that Du Tang was kicked out of the casino and owed a large amount of money because he couldn't afford to gamble. He had lied too many times and couldn't find a good excuse, so he came to their house.

"He got into gambling!" Du Xian shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, "Gambling is something you can't touch, those addicted prostitutes will go bankrupt, hey, how could he gamble? "

Seeing that he hates iron, Zhao said, "Don't meddle in other people's business, what can't he do? Go bet on him and don't get involved in our family. You can't give me money, if you It's not easy to say, I'll go, forgive him and don't dare to mess around." She was afraid that Du Xian would be soft-hearted and would spend money to save the emergency, and she didn't care whether Du Tang would scold others, so she wanted to go out after saying that.

Du Xiaoyu stopped her, "Mother, let daddy talk, you might get scolded if you go out, if daddy talks, he won't have anything to say."

"Yes, yes, I'll talk." Du Xian rolled up his sleeves and went out, followed by Du Xiaoyu.

Du Tang looked at them expectantly.

He has been very unlucky in gambling recently, he loses what he gambles on, and he took out all the decorations in his bedroom a few days ago, but he still hasn't made it back. If he hadn't taken out tens of acres of land deeds as collateral, half his life would have been lost!
But this fertile land was handed down from the ancestors. Although some of the sons have been divided in advance, they are never allowed to sell it privately. If his mother finds out about this, the two younger brothers will definitely make trouble. Accounted for less than the slightest benefit.

Du Tang is very clear that everyone is looking at the family property in Li's hands, but unfortunately he just can't stop itching!

"Brother, have you discussed it with your sister-in-law?" Now he was annoyed that Zhao Shi was offended by drunken nonsense during the day, so he couldn't help but feel a little cautious.

It seems really urgent, it deserves it!Du Xiaoyu gloated.

Du Xian coughed twice and said, "This is how I feel about respecting and filial piety. There is no need to take money out. If we really want to honor our mother, we will go face to face. Give me time to think about this matter, you Just go back."

Du Tang was dumbfounded, and he couldn't speak clearly, "Brother, brother, are you here, are you watching a joke? I talked about feelings for a long time and you didn't listen? Of course the best way to respect and filial piety is to take money out, nothing else counts." What? Go face to face, mother to meet you face to face? I'm thinking of you!"

"Friendship is priceless, how can money compare?" Du Xiaoyu sneered, "Besides, don't we know how to buy things? Do you have to do it for us?"

Du Tang was so angry that his eyes swelled up, and he stared fiercely at the main room, "Brother, is it true that sister-in-law refuses? I knew it, I knew it! You are obsessed with ghosts, and now brothers are unwilling to help, and mother is ignoring you." Alright, alright, alright, what you have done is unfilial, don’t blame me for going to the Yamen to sue you! My sister-in-law has no morals, and according to the Ming Dynasty’s law, if she disobeys her parents and alienates the family, she will be divorced!”

When Du Xian heard this, his face turned pale, and he shouted, "How dare you!"

"Why don't I dare?" Du Tang also lost his mind. If he can't get the money this time, he will end up in a miserable situation. Either the fields will be lost or his life will be lost. "If it weren't for this bitch, you would be kicked out. Going out of the house? Let me tell you, you have to keep this bitch, sooner or later..." Before he finished speaking, he was already punched in the face.

"You, you dare to hit me, it's against you!" Du Tang roared strangely, and immediately punched Du Xian.

The two punched and kicked, and rolled to the ground after a while.

Du Xiaoyu didn't expect that the two sides would fight, so he hurriedly shouted to stop the fight, but Du Xian would not listen in the face of the fire, and the mother and daughter didn't have enough strength to pull them away, so they turned around in a hurry.Fortunately, when Huang Lishu and his son came back from their private school, Mrs. Zhao saw that the savior was about to call for him, but Huang Ligen saw someone beating Du Xian, so he raised his fist and joined in.

Huang Ligen was still young, and although he was used to fighting, he was not strong enough. Huang Lishu was afraid that he would suffer, so when he saw a water-carrying stick by the door, he picked it up and hit Du Tang several times.

Du Tang kept howling "Ouch, Ouch", coupled with the attacks of the other two, immediately his nose was blue and his eyes were swollen, and he rolled around on the ground, very embarrassed.

"If you beat him again, you'll die! You're going to enter the yamen!" Du Xiaoyu screamed. The three fights are enjoyable to watch, but if Du Tang is really disabled, their family will not be in good shape, and it will be difficult to vent their anger. That's all.

Du Xian immediately regained consciousness when his second daughter yelled at him, he hurriedly withdrew his hand, and asked Huang Lishu and his brothers to stop too.

Du Tang lay on the ground pretending to be dead, and wailed, "Oh, my leg is broken, I can't stand up..."

Do you still want to get some medical money?Du Xiaoyu was speechless.

Du Xian couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and went to the bedroom, took out two slings of money and threw it on the ground, "It's enough for you to see a doctor, take it and get out, don't let me see you in the future!"

Huang Lishu slammed the stick on the ground, "What are you doing lying down? Do you still want to be beaten?"

Du Tang was surrounded by several people, all of them looked at him with contempt, and finally couldn't pretend anymore, he picked up the money and stuffed it into his sleeve, and said viciously, "This matter is not over yet, you will regret it! "

Seeing him go, Huang Lishu frowned and said, "Who is this?"

It has been more than a year since I came to Beidong Village, but none of Zhao Dongzhi's children had contact with people from the Li family, so they naturally didn't know each other. Du Xiaoyu said unhappily, "It's my second uncle."

Huang Lishu only twitched the corner of his mouth, he didn't expect that they were actually relatives just now!But this kind of relative is really rare, and I don't know how they got into a fight with my uncle.

Mrs. Zhao called them into the house, tidied up their clothes, washed their dirty faces, and had to scold Du Xian, saying that he would learn to fight like others when he was too old.

But I was still very relieved, after all, he was venting his anger for her.

"I don't know if I will really go to the Yamen to talk nonsense." Du Xian was still a little worried.

Du Xiaoyu is not afraid at all, the county lord Li Yuanqing has already said hello, and their Li family has some money, but they have been protected by officials since ancient times, not to mention Du Tang's words are untenable, if he really dares to sue , I'm afraid it's suicide.

After a few days, I heard that Du Tang was beaten up, and the people in the casino were merciless in the fight. Later, this matter came to Mrs. Li, and it was Mrs. Li who paid for his debt. There was another commotion at Bian's house, and Du Tang was driven by Mrs. Li to Nandong Village not long after to collect the bill.

Du Xiaoyu's family didn't want to care about these things either. As soon as the weather got colder in the restaurant, the business got better. After the release of the Paxia offering, there were many people who liked to eat it, and the price of rabbit meat went up again.

Zhao Song is also a good cook. Knowing that Du Xiaoyu raises rabbits, he specially researched several dishes, including stewed rabbits, red and spicy rabbit meat, and spiced rabbit preserved. They are very popular, and people often come to try them out. A table is often full, and you have to wait outside to eat.

Fortunately, there is a window that sells them directly to the outside world, and rabbit breasts can be made into cold slices. In addition, smoked pork head meat is also very easy to sell, and the business is booming.

Zhao Dongzhi counts money every day until his eyes are dazzled. There is a saying that double happiness comes to the door, and one happiness brings another happiness.

Over there, the Lin family finally let go and no longer insisted that Huang Xiaoying live in Xincun, but only hoped that Lin Qingzhen would stay with her for a few days when she came back.

They picked and picked, and they always felt that no girl's conditions were better than Huang Xiaoying's, so they had to compromise.

One person took a step back, Zhao Dongzhi saw that the other party softened, and she was very satisfied with Lin Qingzhen, so she didn't continue to fight. To show their sincerity, the Lin family rented a small courtyard in the county, saying that it would be for the newlyweds to live in after they got married. , I will buy a bigger set when I have enough money in the future.

Zhao Dongzhi was even happier. After the two families made an agreement, the Lin family hired a matchmaker, who checked their birthdays and everything was fine, and then they discussed the auspicious date.

However, the Chinese New Year is not far away, and the preparations are hasty for fear of many omissions, and both families intend to set a good date for the coming year.

Du Huanghua also happened to have enough time to embroider a wedding dress for Huang Xiaoying. For this reason, Zhao Dongzhi ran to several shops. I couldn't help but imagine how my daughter would look in it.

Du Xiaoyu has just cultivated a good relationship with Huang Xiaoying, and she is about to get married, and she is also reluctant to leave, and she often talks to her recently, it will be inconvenient to go to the county in the future.

Huang Xiaoying was still calm and breezy, while her mother was as excited as a chicken blood, the two formed an extremely sharp contrast.

But today she was a little different, absent-minded.

"Finally she looks like a girl about to marry." Du Xiaoyu couldn't help joking.

"Where is it? I was thinking about Lishu. I always feel that he is a little strange recently." Huang Xiaoying bit her lip, "I don't know what the hell is so mysterious. I knocked on his door yesterday, and he still If you are in a hurry to hide something, you are afraid that I will see it.”

"It's always a little weird that my sister is getting married, right?" Du Xiaoyu laughed.

"Just him?" Huang Xiaoying snorted, "He and Li Gen just want me to get married as soon as possible, so that they will be comfortable if no one cares about them in the future!"

"No matter what, I will miss your sister."

"It's not like." Huang Xiaoying shook her head, and dragged Du Xiaoyu to Huang Lishu's room, "I have to look for it, what is this brat hiding, what is there to hide?"

Isn't it good to violate other people's privacy?Du Xiaoyu didn't quite agree.

However, Huang Xiaoying had already rummaged through it, and soon found a crumpled piece of paper under the pillow, unfolded it, and read on it, "Guan Guan Jujiu, in the continent of the river, a fair lady, a gentleman is so good."
