Chapter 1778

Yang Yongzhi's eyes were red and he couldn't speak anymore.

Yang Yongxian raised his hand and patted Yang Yongzhi on the shoulder: "Third brother, don't say anything. We are a family and we should take care of each other!"

"Well, you can take care of Hong'er first. We won't disturb him. If you need anything, just call him."

"Well, big brother and second brother, let's go slowly!" Yang Yongzhi said, walking them to the door of the house, then closing the door and turning back.

Here, Chen Jinhong has placed Hong'er in the cradle. Hong'er has a plaster on her navel and is now asleep.

Chen Jinhong turned around and came to the clothes cabinet, sticking her butt out and digging at it.

Yang Yongzhi came over with some surprise and asked her: "What are you picking on?"

Chen Jinhong said without looking back: "Money."

"What money?" Yang Yongzhi asked again.

Chen Jinhong said angrily: "Of course it's family money!"

Yang Yongzhi was even more surprised: "When you were on the carriage to town earlier, didn't you say that you had all the six taels of silver in your family pocket with you? What kind of money are you trying to get?"

Chen Jinhong said: "How stupid am I to carry all my family wealth with me? To tell you the truth, I took two taels of silver to the town, and I still have four taels hidden at home!"

"Ah?" Yang Yongzhi was surprised.

"You, why are you like this? Fortunately, Hong'er's illness didn't cost much money. If it costs a lot of money, what can we do if we don't have enough money at the moment? What you did is so stupid!" Yang Yongzhi said with some annoyance.

I was afraid of waking up Hong'er, so I kept my voice very low.

When Chen Jinhong heard this, she rolled her eyes at Yang Yongzhi.

"You idiot, aren't you going with your second brother? He must have money on him!" she said proudly.

"We don't have enough money, so let's borrow it from him! He's the owner of a restaurant, and he just plucks a hair out and it's thicker than our waist!" she said.

I borrowed it, hehe, it all depends on your mood when you want to return it!

After hearing Chen Jinhong's words, no matter how stupid Yang Yongzhi was, he immediately understood what she was planning.

"Chen Jinhong, how can you behave like this?" Yang Yongzhi suppressed his anger and persuaded him earnestly.

"Our Hong'er has a stomachache, and everyone is worried about it. It's a cold day, so why not sleep at home for a while? Why does the second brother drive a carriage to take us to the town?"

"Isn't it because I am his brother and Hong'er is his nephew?" Yang Yongzhi said.

Chen Jinhong curled her lips: "It's not like we're asking him to walk. He's driving a carriage. He's not tired..."

"I'm not tired. Isn't it good for me to lie down under the quilt at home and bask in the sun under the wall?"

"Third, it's a long journey. You can sit inside the carriage without being blown by the wind. My second brother and I are sitting in the front driving the carriage. It's so cold that our noses will fall off. Do you know that?"

Yang Yongzhi's voice was a little rougher, and a strange flush appeared on his face.

Chen Jinhong saw his anger and did not dare to talk back.

She turned around and dug into the clothes cabinet, rummaging through it, and then, with a sudden movement, she took out a sock from inside.

Holding it in both hands, I was so happy.

"Haha, the four taels of silver are still there, not stolen by your mother and your second sister-in-law!" What was she thinking in her mind, she blurted out in excitement.

Yang Yongzhi was so angry that he fell backwards and almost vomited blood.

"You, you, you, I don't want to talk to you anymore!" After saying this, Yang Yongzhi turned and walked towards the door of the house.

Staying in the same room with this woman would make him mad.

The door of the room opened suddenly, and a figure walked into the door.

Yang Yongzhi reached out and caught it, and when he saw it, it turned out to be Mrs. Liu.

"Fourth Aunt, why are you standing here?" Yang Yongzhi looked surprised.

Judging from Mrs. Liu's posture, she obviously put her ear to the door and pretended to be eavesdropping.

Moreover, I was so absorbed in listening that I didn't notice and came to open the door, so I stumbled in.

"Fourth Aunt, what are you doing? What do you mean by hiding at the door of the house?"

Inside the room, Chen Jinhong also came over angrily.

The sock that contained the silver previously had been hidden by her again.

"You guys talk, I'll go out and take a breath!" Yang Yongzhi said, turning around and leaving the house.

Here, Chen Jinhong came to Mrs. Liu and looked at her coldly: "Does Fourth Aunt still have a habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations?"

Mrs. Liu stood firm, took a deep breath, and suppressed her initial embarrassment.

"Haha, I just arrived at the door and was about to knock on the door when the door opened. I was so startled that I almost fell down!"

Mrs. Liu said with a smile, and raised her hand to stroke her hair.

"Well, the old lady sent me here. The old lady asked Jin Hong for you to come over." Mrs. Liu said.

Hearing this, Chen Jinhong's eyes flickered.

She thought of Tan's words before. Could it be that she wanted to settle a score with herself?

"Fourth Aunt, please go back and tell me that I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. Please go back later!"

Chen Jinhong said, his face suddenly filled with a flattering smile.

Mrs. Liu doesn't like this.

"Oh, I'm just an errand messenger. My job is to deliver the message to you, but I'm not responsible for sending it back..." Ms. Liu said with a smile.

Chen Jinhong walked over, then said with an apologetic smile: "Good aunt, please help me, I am really not feeling well..."

Ms. Liu was still smiling, folding her arms in front of her chest and twirling one finger.

Chen Jinhong looked at Liu's gestures and understood.

She gritted her teeth, took out two pennies from her pocket, and stuffed them into Mrs. Liu's palm.

Mrs. Liu smiled: "What about sending beggars away? Who hasn't eaten two steamed buns?"

Chen Jinhong gritted his teeth and added another three coins.

Mrs. Liu sneered, but still didn't take her hand back.

Chen Jinhong frowned, struggled for a while, and then took out another five cents.

"Ten cents, if you are willing to go and deliver a message, you can go. If you don't want to, just give me the money back!"

Chen Jinhong came to take back the five cents he had just given, but Mrs. Liu avoided him.

Ms. Liu grabbed the five cents from the back and said, "I'll tell you right now. I feel uncomfortable and lie down, right?"

Chen Jinhong nodded quickly.

Mrs. Liu took the money and left.

Chen Jinhong looked at Mrs. Liu's back and cursed Mrs. Liu and all the six people in the fourth room in her heart.

Even the dog named Feifei was not spared!

Then, she quickly closed the door, took off her coat, lay down on the bed, pulled the quilt over her, and pretended to sleep.

In the east room, Mrs. Tan was so angry that she slammed the teacup in her hand on the small stool beside the bed.

"What are you talking about? Mrs. Chen actually dares to bribe you to report lies to me?"

Tan shouted angrily.

Mrs. Liu stood in front of the bed with a well-behaved look on her face, nodding her head repeatedly.

"Here, give me a penny and let me help her deal with my mother."

"Humph, I, Mrs. Liu, am not that kind of person who is blind to money. I dare not forget my filial piety towards my parents for a moment!"
