Xiaojiaxiu

Chapter 513 Niu Er's thoughts are lost
"Who's there?"

That night, as soon as Hu Xiaotou came back from the county seat, he saw a sneaky figure lying in front of the window of his own residence... He yelled vigilantly.

"My lord... oh! No...!" Niu Er Er's daughter-in-law was a little out of control when she was frightened by the scolding, and she replied incoherently.

It was a woman who could hear the words, Hu Xiaotou was not as nervous as before, but he still asked vigilantly: "Who are you, why are you sneaking here?"

"I...I'm Niu Er's wife. Niu Er asked me to ask you two...do you...do you need hot water? In the house!" Niu'er daughter-in-law replied with her head down.

"Then bring some here!" Hearing that the woman in front of him is Niu Er's daughter-in-law, Hu Xiaotou was completely relieved. He had been walking for a day, and his feet were really sore, so he let the cow The second daughter-in-law brought some hot water over.

After hearing Hu Xiaotou's words, Niu's daughter-in-law lowered her head and left quickly.

Looking at Niu Er's daughter-in-law who left, Hu Xiaotou originally wanted to warn her not to come here when she was free next time, but he thought about it, if he warned her like this, it would be a little bit like this place has no silver 300 taels The meaning, so after thinking about it, I dismissed the idea.

"Second brother, you're back!" In the room, Yaomen was staring sleepily at Hu Xiaotou who just came back and said.

Hu Xiaotou was physically and mentally exhausted from running this trip to the county seat. After nodding towards Yaomen, he sat down on the stool all of a sudden, with a tired look on his face.

"You two, I've prepared hot water and food. Should I bring them in, or put them in front of the door!" At this moment, Niu Er's wife's voice came from outside the door.

After hearing clearly that it was Niu Er's wife's voice, Hu Xiaotou winked at Yaomen, and Yaomen raised his feet and walked towards the door.

"I'm really bothering Mrs. Niu!" Opening the door, Yaomen didn't ask Mrs. Niu to bring the food and hot water into the room, but took the food and hot water by himself, and then thanked her.

"It's nothing to bother me, I...I made more food, just because...I'm afraid you don't have enough to eat! Then I'll go...back to the house!" Because of the previous incident, Niu Ersao still didn't dare to open her eyes. Looking at the people in the room, she saw that after listening to Yaomen's kind words, she lowered her head and stammered back, then turned and went back to the room.

"Strange, it's usually Niu Er who comes here to deliver food, why is it replaced by his wife today!" Yaomen muttered casually as he walked to the table with the food.

Hu Xiaotou didn't care much about Yaomen's words, it's not a woman who does these things.

"It's so late, where did you die?" Niu Er, who was lying on the bed dreaming of getting rich, complained dissatisfiedly when he saw his daughter-in-law entered the house.

"Keep your voice down, don't wake up Dad, Da Niu and Xiao Niu!" Niu Er's daughter-in-law is already used to Niu Er's temperament, and she couldn't help reminding him when she saw him so loud at such a late hour.

"You old lady is getting more and more tempered. When I talk, I don't need you to talk too much!" Although he said this, Niu Er's voice was indeed lowered a lot.

Niu Er and Niu Er's daughter-in-law have been getting along for so many years, and they are also used to this way of getting along. Although the two of them always have bad things to say, they live a stable life.

"Father, my heart still feels uneasy. Guess what I saw in those two people's room just now?" Niu Er's daughter-in-law picked up a needle and thread to mend Niu Er's clothes, while lowering her voice to Niu Er Said.

Hearing his wife's words, Niu Er sat up from the bed in shock: "You bitch, didn't you sneak into the house of the two nobles to take a peek! You... If you are discovered Well, isn't our family's future wealth just ruined by you?!"

"Keep your voice down! What's the matter, I'm afraid others won't hear you!" Seeing Niu Er's excited appearance, Niu's daughter-in-law couldn't help but glared at him, and then whispered.

After hearing what his wife said, Niu Er quickly covered his mouth, and then looked towards the door.

"I think you want to get rich and go crazy!" Seeing that Niu Er was not as excited as before, Niu Er's daughter-in-law couldn't help complaining.

"Tell me, what did you see in that room?" Niu Er didn't care about his wife's complaints, but leaned up to his wife and asked in a low voice.

Although he scolded his daughter-in-law, everyone has this curiosity, and Niu Er is no exception.

"Come here!" Seeing Niu Er's question, Niu Er's daughter-in-law couldn't help but waved to him and said.

Seeing his daughter-in-law like this, Niu Er put his ear close to his daughter-in-law, and listened carefully to what his daughter-in-law had to say.

"What? You can't read it wrong, right?" Niu Er's eyes widened as soon as Niu Er's daughter-in-law finished speaking, and asked his wife in surprise.

"You bastard, please keep your voice down, keep your voice down!" Seeing Niu Er babbling like this again, Niu Er's daughter-in-law could not help but pat him on the shoulder, and then reminded him in a low voice.

Only then did Niu Er realize that his voice was indeed louder.

"The child's mother! You said those two would not be...!" Even though Niu Er's voice was low enough, he still didn't dare to say the following words, for fear of being overheard.

"I can't be sure, but I can see clearly that there are indeed two little girls tied up in that room. I looked at them, and those two little girls have pale faces. They are pitiful!" Seeing what Niu Er said, Niu Er The second daughter-in-law sighed in a softer voice.

Hearing his wife's words, Niu Er didn't know what it was like. He squatted there, thought for a while, then raised his head and asked his wife: "You went to peek, but someone found you?"

Seeing Niu Er asked about this, Niu Er's daughter-in-law put down the needle and thread in her hand, thought about it, and then said: "I don't know, but when the man found me, I told a lie, saying that you asked me to ask." Do they want hot water! If they ask, you must say the same!"

"You wicked old woman! Why are you so bold!" Hearing his wife's words, Niu Er couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. He stared at his wife and reprimanded her.

"I...Aren't I afraid!" Niu Er's daughter-in-law also knew that she had done this improperly, so she was a little short of breath in her words.

"It's a good thing we didn't find out! Or...!" Seeing that his wife already knew she was wrong, Niu Er didn't say anything more, but said with some fear.

"My son's father, who do you think these two are? Why did you tie up two little girls!" Niu Er's daughter-in-law knew that her man was worried about her, but she was also worried that her family would be implicated. , so he asked.

"No wonder that person asked me to go to the town to inquire about the matter today, and even asked me to sell the carriage, and then took the money to the county government's jail to inquire about the matter! They decided that I had committed a crime!" Before Niu Er, the 30 taels of silver He lost his mind and soul, so he didn't think about it carefully. Now that he thought about it carefully, these two people were really suspicious, and he began to think about it in his heart.

"Then what should we do! Will we be guilty of hiding a prisoner at that time! The child's father, what should we do!" After all, Niu Er's wife is a woman. Completely panicked, she asked anxiously, grabbing her man's arm.

"You let me think about it, let me think about it!" This matter has something to do with the government, that's a big deal!It was the first time in Niu Er's life that he encountered such a big event, how could he not panic!

"Quick! Quickly take out all the 30 taels of silver!" Niu Er's daughter-in-law couldn't help urging Niu Er in a panic.

"What do you do with the money?" Niu Eryi didn't understand for a moment, and asked wonderingly.

"Let's return the money to those two people quickly! Then we will say that we don't know anything, and then the government will not say that we are with them!" Thinking of the matter, the woman always It would be much simpler. Niu Er's wife thought that as long as her family confiscated the two people's money, she would have nothing to do with them.

"You old woman! You really have long hair and short knowledge. Do you think you'll be fine if you return the money now? Besides, if those two people knew that we found out about them, could they easily spare our family?" The daughter-in-law thought things were so simple, Niu Er couldn't help explaining.

"Then what to do! Then what to do!" The way to pay back the money was the only way Niu Er's wife could think of. After hearing Niu Er's words, she was completely scared.

"Don't worry! Tomorrow I will quietly go to the county seat and find out what happened to the prisoner!" As the head of the family, Niu Er must find a way to save the whole family.

"Is this okay? Shall we discuss this matter with our father?" Niu Er's daughter-in-law completely lost her backbone, and she couldn't help saying after listening to Niu Er's words.

"You old woman, don't let daddy and his old man know about this! You don't know his temper. If you know what those two people do, he can't... Besides, when autumn comes, his old man I'm not in good health either, I can't let my third brother go home as a soldier, I can only see our father's grave!" Hearing what his wife said, Niu Er became even more impatient, and he frowned , lowered his voice, and reprimanded his wife.

"Yes, yes! Don't let dad know about this! He still has to stay still and wait for my uncle to come home! It's just...just...then you have to be careful when you go there tomorrow! Our family will point to What about you!" As he spoke, Niu Er's daughter-in-law couldn't help but burst into tears.

Where did Niu Er think that what was originally a sweet dream has turned into a nightmare!
