Chapter 7

"Let me give you money? Are you crazy?" Xiao Xiaomei's voice was raised in vain, suspecting that there was something wrong with her ears.

Lin Baobao corrected: "It's not giving, it's returning."

Whether to give or to repay, the nature of the two is different.

"When did I lend you money?"

"You didn't borrow it, but in July last year, your mother complained to me that Xiao Yuanming was going to take the college entrance examination, and the family didn't have enough money, so she took five coins from me. In the past four years, I went to your house to lu A lot of things have been sent one after another, and the total is more than three taels, I just want your family to return three taels, which is not too much."

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Yuanming passed the college examination last year and is now a scholar.

It was also after that that Xiao's mother, who had been quite warm to the original body in the past few years, began to alienate her and criticize her in various ways.

"But that was all given by you voluntarily."

"At that time, I thought that I would marry into Xiao's family in the future, and they would be a family..." Lin Baobao paused, and then glanced strangely at Gu Shi, who was standing aside as a transparent person.

In front of the "current" to return the things given to the "predecessor", it feels a bit delicate.

Xiao Xiaomei followed her line of sight, only to find that there was a person standing beside her, meeting Gu Shiqing's cold eyes, and forgot all her rebuttals.

Little blushed: "Xiao Liu, who is he?"

For the past two days, she has been detained by her mother at home to take care of her eldest brother. She didn't know what happened to the Lin family after learning that Baby Lin woke up or heard her mother mention it.

Lin Baobao: "He is my husband-in-law, don't think about it."

I don't know if it will happen in the future, at least so far.

Gu Shi paused for a moment, and was warmed by the word "mother-in-law" by her.

Xiao Xiaomei blushed: "What nonsense are you talking about, what am I thinking?"

Lin Baobao glanced at her, his eyes were drawn when he was looking at her just now, can't anyone be blind when looking at her?

"Come on, go to your house."

"Go, what are you doing at my house?" The topic changed so quickly that Xiao Xiaomei didn't react.

"You can't come up with three taels of silver, so I have to ask your mother to go?"

The debt collection is not active, and there is something wrong with the head.

"Do you want to go home first?" She turned to Gu Shi.

"I'll go with you." Gu Shi didn't look at her, took the oiled paper bag in her hand and left. After walking two steps, he remembered that he didn't know where the Xiao family was.

Gu Shi: ...

Xiao Xiaomei was dumbfounded. Wasn't she asking Lin Xiaoliu for money in the first place?How did it become owed to her?
Seeing that the couple really went in the direction of her house.

She stomped and trotted to keep up.

……

The Xiao family lived in the town before.

Four years ago, Xiao's father died of illness, leaving only orphans and widows.

With no pillars in the family, and Xiao Yuanming still young, without a stable source of income, Xiao Wu simply sold his property and moved to Dahe Village with his two children.

I live on the west side of the village.

Of course, this is what the Wu family said when they moved here.

In the Xiao family hall, Mrs. Wu had just set the lunch when she turned her head and saw Lin Baobao and a young boy who looked unfamiliar followed Xiao Xiaomei into the courtyard.

She pulled her face: "How many times have I told you, don't bring all the dirty and smelly things home, and you will ignore them all?"

Xiao Xiaomei feels wronged, Lin Xiaoliu is coming, can she stop her?

Besides, it wasn't her mother who told her in the first place.

They are outsiders, and there is no man in charge of the family, so they are easily bullied.

Lin Xiaoliu is arrogant and domineering, and she protects the villagers from making trouble with their family.

Why didn't the elder brother let her associate with Xiaoliu once he was admitted as a scholar?

Lin Baobao ignored Wu's accusations and scolded Huai: "Don't worry, I'm not here to find Xiao Yuanming."

"Ah, that's right, she's not here to find Big Brother, she's here to ask for money." In order to clarify herself, Xiao Xiaomei hastily repeated Lin Baobao's exact words.

Mrs. Wu gouged her out and looked at Lin Baobao: "You said my family owes you three taels? You really dare to say anything when you touch your lips. You show me the IOU, otherwise I won't be afraid even if I make trouble with the village chief." .”

Lin Baobao laughed angrily, he didn't behave like this when he took advantage of the original owner.

"It's true that I don't have an IOU, but it's not like no one sees what I usually send to Xiao's house... If you really want to renege on the debt, I will go to Luyuan Academy and say that Xiao Yuanming is cheating money with sex, and he will eat soft food hard..."

"Anyway, my reputation is already bad enough. If I don't care if it gets worse, I don't know if it will affect your son's reputation."

How important is a scholar's reputation?Wu's face darkened: "Are you threatening me?"

Is it so obvious?
Lin Baobao's face was not false: "Is it a threat to you? You can try."

She really wouldn't do that.

It's not that she doesn't dare, but she knows that feelings are not something that you pay, but the other party must respond.

In the final analysis, the only one who owes the original body is Wu, and Xiao Yuanming is really not one of them.

She could remember, if Wu Shi hadn't said a lot of humiliating words that day, how could Yuanshen run to the back mountain alone, and was killed in the end?
The original body is not dead, and he will not come here inexplicably.

Lin Baobao was very angry, even Wu's unwillingness to take out three taels of silver didn't make her face any better.

Why didn't she point too much in the first place!
"From now on, my Xiao family won't owe you anything, don't come to my house again." Wu Shi gritted her teeth.

Lin Baobao shook his head: "That won't work, they are all from the village. When your son marries the daughter of a thousand gold and comes in, I have to come and have a glass of wedding wine to rejoice."

Wu shi fell back angrily.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Lin Baobao felt much better, and greeted Gu Shi: "Let's go, go home."

Gu Shi nodded, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the open window of the west room, paused, turned around, followed Baobao Lin and left.

Xiao Xiaomei noticed it, glanced at her angry mother, and sneaked into the West Room.

In the room, Xiao Yuanming was sitting at the desk by the window reading a book, the window in front of him had been closed again.

Hearing the movement, he glanced back, didn't speak, and turned his head back again.

"Brother, you are not in good health, why are you up?"

"It's less than two months away from Qiu Wei, so don't delay...cough cough cough..."

Xiao Xiaomei hurriedly poured him a glass of water, and tentatively said, "Well... Lin Xiaoliu is married."

Xiao Yuanming gave a pause for the hand that was reaching out to catch the cup.

……

After a delay, when Lin Baobao and Gu Shi returned home, Feng Shi had already returned, and was standing at the gate of the courtyard with his hips akimbo, scolding an old woman.

The Zhou family was helping, but the rest of the Lin family were not there.

"Damn, who stole your chicken, did you see it with your own eyes? Why didn't you stop it when you saw it, or did you just lift the door curtain with your mouth?"

"Someone saw Lin Wulang and Da Mao go to the back mountain at noon, who else could it be if they didn't steal it?" The woman was Mrs. Zou who lived at the foot of the back mountain at the end of the village.

Beside Mrs. Zou stood a scrawny girl, her granddaughter Zou Xiuyu.
