Chapter 4
Old Liangtou led a group of children and grandchildren from early morning to late at night, and after three or two days of busy work, they finally pulled out the seven or eight acres of cotton stalks in the southern field.

They were tied up and put on bullock carts, and they were dragged home one after another. The cotton stalks were stacked high against the wall in the backyard of the kitchen.The cotton stalks in the yard have been dried, which is enough firewood for the big family for half a year.

After dinner, the children and grandchildren were still in the dining hall, drinking tea, smoking and chatting with Lao Liangtou.The daughters-in-law collected the dishes and went to the kitchen. Yang found an excuse, threw the dirty pots and bowls full of the stove to Sun, and slipped back to her room with oil on her feet.

Old Liang's family gathered in the backyard dining hall at this moment.

Yang Shi quietly sat in the room with her ears pricked up.

After about half a cup of tea, the sound of footsteps finally came from the corridor outside the house.There was a slight creaking sound from Mrs. Yang's door, and a crack was pushed open from the outside, and a figure entered the room through the wide crack of the door.

The person who came did not light the fire, and moved towards the wooden cabinet by the wall in the dark.

In the darkness, Yang Shi suddenly coughed, startling the person who came, and almost knocking against the corner of the cabinet.

"Laner's father, why didn't you knock?" Yang asked with a sneer in the dark.

"Oh my god, you said you are a big living person, why didn't you light the fire in the house? The sudden noise scared your man enough!" Liang Yulin patted his chest and complained in a low voice, and lit it The fire brightened the room.

All I saw was that Mrs. Yang was sitting on the edge of the bed with her arms crossed, her legs crossed, and she squinted at him.A thick layer of melon seed shells fell on the bed board beside her feet.

Liang Yulin frowned in disgust: "How many times have I told you? Don't spit out the melon seed shell, it's so sloppy!"

"I'm in my own room, I can vomit wherever I like, you don't care!" Yang disapproved.

"Look how sneaky you are when you enter the house. There is no ghost in your heart. What are you afraid of?" Yang curled her lips and looked at Liang Yulin with her hands like a searchlight.

"Haven't you ever heard of people scaring people, scaring people to death? Are you guarding here on purpose?" Liang Yulin rolled his eyes and stood leaning against the cabinet, his standing posture was a bit strange.

"So what's the matter with guarding? You don't care about me! Hey, what's wrong with your legs?" Yang asked, aiming at Liang Yulin's legs and feet.

"Scared by you cramp!"

"Stop talking about what you have and what you don't have, and hurry up and get down to business." Yang said.

"Tell me quickly, you go to the town to find your eldest brother in the afternoon, how is the discussion going? Can it work?"

Liang Yulin smiled complacently: "Isn't that nonsense? If the eldest brother is personally involved, I'll be around, and even the trickiest things can be taken care of!"

"Hey, it's good to be successful!" Yang said happily, "I'm afraid that if you run around, you won't get any benefits at that time, so it's really not worth it! Tell me, did you give me any money?"

At the mention of silver, Liang Yulin's eyes began to shine again. He walked around to the door, looked out, and made sure that no one was passing by at this moment, so he closed the door again, lowered his voice and stretched out his finger to Yang's excited Gestures.

"It's very refreshing over there. I've given it all. The eldest brother took out my share alone. Be good, it's a full 30 taels. I've grown up so much, and I've never carried so much money. It's heavy. I ran all the way back. But it made me tired, my ankle still hurts!"

"Look at how promising you are, you deserve it!" Yang scolded with a smile, she couldn't wait any longer, and stretched out her hand to Liang Yulin: "Don't hold on to the 30 taels of silver, hand it over quickly!"

Liang Yulin was a little unhappy, but still slowly took out a cloth bag the size of a child's fist from his arms, and threw it to Yang Shi.

Yang Shi caught it firmly, with a heavy hand, and she couldn't wait to open the bag. When she saw the contents in the bag, Yang Shi's eyes widened, and the corners of her mouth couldn't close with joy!
Pulling open the bag, the bag was full of broken silver, and Yang immediately buried her head and counted it.

Liang Yulin rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "Who is this? You still don't believe me! Then count until your fingers cramp!"

"Stop chirping and whining, get the hell out of here!" Yang smiled and spat at him.

Liang Yulin came over with a hippie smile, sat down next to Yang Shi, put one hand on Yang Shi's waist, and kneaded dishonestly: "I said it's right to follow the big brother, look this time, I'll run errands to pass on Just a word or something, I only earn so much, and it falls to my father, working hard to the death, the cotton harvest of seven or eight acres of land, I'm afraid it's not worth this amount!"

Mrs. Yang was engrossed in counting the silver, and didn't bother to pay attention to the small movements Liang Yulin's hands made on her waist.It was numb, and there were two hums and chirps in his mouth.

"For you girls, I've worked so hard, I'll give you all the money, mother, I'll keep it secret. What's the matter, you have to reward your man, give me some money Twelve sips of wine?"

"Lan'er's father, how much money did you give to the eldest brother?" Yang suddenly raised her head from the money, and turned to ask Liang Yulin beside her.

"200 taels!" Liang Yulin said.

Immediately, Mrs. Yang pulled down her horse face, threw the 30 taels of silver bag behind her, poked Liang Yulin's shoulder, and yelled like a cannonball: "Oh, I just saw that you are worthless! Your big brother What are you talking about, what are you listening to! That thing can be done, you have worked hard before and after running, why does your elder brother get so much, and give you 30 taels? Send the beggar? If this is not possible, you will have to talk to him later If you ask for more, it’s always a loss to us! If you’re in a hurry, I’ll tell my son and the third son to go, don’t expect a penny!”

Liang Yulin was so anxious that his face was red and his neck was thick: "The big brother came up with the idea, and he also went to find it there. Without the friends that big brother made to be the guides, it's up to us. Don't expect to get on the ladder if you have it." Side! I'm just running errands behind the big brother, passing a message or something. It's about the same for 30 taels, so don't be dissatisfied."

"Hey, you're teaching me a lesson? What you did, it's really bad for you! Why does your elder brother throw you a bone when he eats meat and soup? Look, you're so stupid, you can't even walk. I've twisted my foot! I'm blind after following you, a worthless pustule!"

Yang's two thin lips opened and closed and began to curse, Liang Yulin was afraid of being heard by the backyard, so he could only lie down and make a promise, then raised his hand to swear, Yang restrained his emotions again.

"It's true to say that you are ignorant and short-sighted as a woman!" Liang Yulin hugged the calm Yang Shi, but still couldn't help complaining.

Yang Shi leaned against Liang Yulin's bone-like arms, and her eyes fell on his non-stop rubbing feet.

"Brother, he is not an ordinary person. He has studied for so many years and runs a shop in the town. He has a good head. If you follow him, you will be right. Don't be stupid and really go to him to talk about money... Ouch Yo, what are you doing, woman?"

Before Liang Yulin finished speaking, he saw Yang with a sullen face, bent down and grabbed his left foot, and took off his shoe without saying a word.

He stretched out his hand to pick and pull it inside, turned over and knocked hard on the bed pedal a few times, and a few pieces of silver rolled out of the shoe.

"I'll just say it's weird, you're a monkey spirit, why are you so honest! No, you're still hiding your private room!" Yang sneered triumphantly while holding up the torn shoe.

Liang Yulin's face turned ashen at first, then he squeezed out a dry smile and explained: "I was just kidding with you..."

"Tell you to hide, tell you to pick..." Yang didn't listen, grabbed Liang Yulin by one ear, picked up the sole of the shoe in his hand, and greeted him in the face.

At the same time, Liang Yuzhong and the Sun family were not at peace.
