"Mom, we know we were wrong. We won't hide anything from you in the future. Don't be so angry."
After seeing off the Bai family, Xu Tianxin and Yu Qinniang stood in the yard, listening and watching the three uncles being beaten so hard by their grandmother in the hall.
They wanted to go into the house, but grandma wouldn't let them.
The window was half open, and Xu Tianxin saw his uncle running in a circle, pulling his third uncle's shoulders and saying:
"Third brother, even if my mother's beating doesn't hurt, can you move a little bit?"
Xu Youyin thought that his third brother didn't have enough brains.
The third brother was stuck there like a wooden stake, with a smile on his face, but he could only say clearly that my mother danced like a tiger with a broom, but even if she covered the dregs, she couldn't put them in place, not even the buttocks of their three brothers. I'm willing to fight twice more. If mom likes it, then you can dance, it will be so lively and fun.
Third brother, who are you provoking?
If you don't jump around and scream for mercy during this time, can your mother beat the baby to your heart's content?
Xu Youyin couldn't rely on his third brother and his stupid second brother. In order to make his mother feel comfortable and happy, Xu Youyin could only shoulder the responsibility alone, jumping up and down and talking back:
"Mom, they are robbers. Unless they are crazy, how could they take the initiative to report to the authorities? It's not like they surrender themselves to the trap and they have to be caught. Each of them must have committed many crimes. Do they dare?
Moreover, my second and third brothers and I analyzed it and we didn’t know she was a daughter of the Bai family at that time, so we guessed that the kidnapped family would not report her to the authorities.
Where is the barren mountain where you were supposed to be robbed? It is a place where there is not even a ghost. There is no use in reporting to the police. They have not come to our town, they are not under the control of the town, and they are further away from the county. Where can we arrest people?
If the local officials were really capable, then there would be no robberies at all.
I guess the Bai family also thought that if they reported to the official, people would know that a female family member had been kidnapped, and people would gossip about them, so why bother asking a flower child to keep vigil. "
Mrs. Xu waved her broomstick and pointed it at the fourth child's buttocks. She couldn't bear it any longer and said for a moment, "You're the only one who talks nonsense!" She lowered her voice, hoping that Hao Yinhua's family in the west courtyard would hear her.
Of course Mrs. Xu guessed that the Bai family was indeed like what the fourth child said. After analyzing all aspects, she believed that reporting to the official was of no use, so she took this opportunity to do the favor to the end and handed it over in case anyone asked. No one from the Xu family would snatch it. Over money.
In other words, being able to do this is considered benevolent and righteous.
But the point of her anger was not at all here. First, she beat the child to vent her fear, which meant that she dared to beat the robber's head into a dog's head even though she was unarmed. The second is that after fighting back once, the follow-up was full of loopholes.
"You are not allowed to leave your name next time. There are also those beasts who are attacking with knives. They wanted your life in the first place. Why don't these robbers kill them, so as not to take a breather and harm others."
What? Are there cameras here?
In those barren mountains and wild ridges, wild beasts can tear them up and eat them without leaving any trace.
It rained heavily again. I took advantage of the rain and threw it into the river and it was flooded.
Don't say she is cruel, this is because her three sons have two skills. Once the robbers have beaten their brains out before, they will do it like this.
Mrs. Xu cursed: "It's nothing!"
I heard that the three boys also buried the knife that was used to commit the crime. This is another loophole that would be discovered if someone wanted to investigate: "Where is the knife hidden?"
She had to find out and dig them back. She happened to be going to the county town soon, so she took those crime tools home, hoping to turn them into reasonable meat-cutting products.
I don’t have a knife when I open a restaurant at home.
"Sanyou" was dumbfounded: "Huh?"
Isn’t it that what mother dislikes most about them is that they are not ruthless enough?
After finishing cleaning up the three boys, Mrs. Xu threw the broomsticks on the kang, came to the window to take a breath and said to Xu Tianxin: "Dabao'er, go to your grandpa Guan's house and ask him to come, saying that I have something to see him."
He also ordered his daughter-in-law to check the food in the wing to see if your aunt had stolen anything.
Although Mrs. Gu only came with a broken basket today, and when she was scratching Mr. Gu's hair, she pulled out the frame and there was nothing in it. It only contained a few handfuls of wild vegetables that she had dug up along the way, so she was not worried.
After all, Mr. Gu would pull the hair out of even a flying sparrow to take advantage of him.
After instructing her granddaughter and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xu also left the house and went to the yard to organize the things sent by the Bai family.
This is their home, and time must be broken into eight-petaled flowers.
Even if you want to sit on the kang and lament that you owe too much to the famine, if you haven’t done anything yet, the big house is so frightened that you want to cut off the relationship, then you have to do whatever you need to do, and you can’t delay cooking and work. . There is no time to waste time on useless people.
He even told the children a few words, not to be so cunning next time they encounter robbery, and Mrs. Xu did not forget to count the eggs in her hands.
Mrs. Xu kept mumbling:
The person who robbed him this time was probably a low-level person with two or five eyes. He was usually a complete loser. If he encountered a professional who was cruel and ruthless, could he beat someone else? Don't always think that more than ten taels of silver is a lot of money and just try your best to get it back.
Mrs. Xu is very anxious to educate her sons. Please think highly of yourself in the future. Is it worth losing three lives for more than ten taels of silver?
"Sanyou" was extremely moved when he heard this while unloading the bags pulled down from the mountain on a trolley.
It turns out that in my mother's heart, the three of them are priceless treasures.
After counting the eggs, there were fifty in total. When Mrs. Xu carried the basket into the house, she turned around and said: "I have raised you so much, how much food I eat every year, cumulatively, how can one person be worth fifteen taels before going to share with others?" Work hard, it’s better to spend more money and take more risks.”
Three people: "..."
It's valuable, fifteen taels.
That's okay, I'm not sad because of my mother's words. I didn't expect them to be quite expensive, and I didn't even dare to think about it.
The three brothers of the Xu family had just finished arranging the items on the trolley, when Xu Tianxin entered the courtyard with Guan Ertuo.
Did the three of them think too much, thinking that their mother really wanted to discuss something with Uncle Ertu, but they never expected that their mother would ask Uncle Ertu to take their pulse.
"Mom, we don't need to take a pulse. We have such a strong body, what are we doing..." Once you take off your clothes and see the wound, you have to pay.
This day's hike up the mountain was exhausting, so I managed to save two coins and treat it as a profit. A pulse check would be in vain if it wasn't done well.
Xu Youyin hugged her chest and hid: "Mom, even if you are my mother, you can't take off my clothes. I have grown up."
Mrs. Xu was so angry that she spanked Youyin on the butt with a garden broom: "How old are you? Please call me softly."
"Stand in a row and go into the house quickly. I won't go in and let you Erbald and Uncle Baoku have a good look."
The three of them saw that they couldn't hide, and their mother would become anxious if she tried to hide again, so they lined up to enter the house with their heads hanging down.
Guan Ertu passed by Old Mrs. Xu and corrected him: "Treasure box."
Mrs. Xu: "...ah, I'm thinking of Ku Da. Why don't you choose a big name?"
He's old enough, and his sworn brother calls him Treasure Box.
When Guan Ertu just obeyed the order of the convener and took off his clothes and pants regardless of the three people's struggles, he was shocked for a while. No wonder he was coy and refused to see a doctor. He also had some skills: "Earning two dollars makes people beat hard, ugh , have you ever fought with someone?"
Xu Laoer had a stab wound on his waist and abdomen, Lao Si had a stab wound on his shoulder, and the rest were densely covered with whip wounds. It's all like this, how can you still bend down and stick your butt out for a day in the mountains?
Why can't I feel pain?
The three of them hurriedly discussed with Uncle Guan: "It's nothing serious. Please don't tell our mother in detail. When our brothers stopped to eat dry food on the way, they picked up the old mother-in-law's dinggen and wiped the white water from it. There is no bleeding from the wound."
Isn't it okay if there is no bleeding? I heard that when going to the battlefield, everything was done with a soldering iron. The three brothers were already in good condition, how could they be so squeamish.
As a man, Guan Ertu also knew that he did not want Mrs. Xu to worry, so he thought to himself:
There are pomegranate flowers there. Use pomegranate flowers and lime to rub the wound. This is the cheapest gold sore medicine from the farmer. When the young man from the village was injured in the fight with Wangjiagou, he happened to have the rest after finishing the match. I didn't need any money to wipe it out first.
After taking Mr. Xu's third pulse, Guan Ertu frowned: "You were pushed across your chest by a hard object, and there is congestion in your chest. How did you get it?"
You can't hide this. Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction has to be taken on a daily basis, and he can't afford it.
Even Xu Lao Er and Xu Lao Si didn't know until Uncle Guan finished speaking that the third child was still being pushed against his chest by a piece of wood.
The third child was anxious: "Why is the medicine so expensive? I only earn 6 taels, and it costs 2 taels to take the medicine? I don't eat or drink."
"You can't go to heaven!" It seemed that today was just a slap on the face of the child. Mrs. Xu gave San'er another lump on the broomstick and turned around to tell Erbald to hurry up and give him some medicine.
Xu Lao Er and Lao Si also tried to reassure You Cang and said, "You are worth fifteen taels. It's not worth paying for two taels of medicine in case something goes wrong."
