Chapter 21 Lu Dabao's Defense

"Anyway, it's different. Stepmother took me alone. Second brother, what are you doing!"

Erbao is a stubborn person. Seeing that his sister couldn't say anything for a long time, he asked again: "Why just take you alone? Why don't you want me and my stepmother to go to the town together!"

"I'm so stupid. If you ask again, I won't buy you oil cakes in the future!" Sanya was angry.

"The oil cake was bought by my stepmother." Erbao said, and his voice changed, and he became more and more dissatisfied, "I am your second brother, so don't call me stupid!"

"You are just lacking intent, you are just lacking intent!"

"Don't call me a timid person, I will say it again last time, don't call me a timid person again!"

······

Lu Dabao looked at the red face of his brother and sister fighting, and then looked at the oil cake in his hand, his eyes becoming more and more dim.

The more Erbao and Sanya competed, the more powerful they became. In the end, the brother and sister entered the cold war directly, and you ignored me and I ignored you.

Li Tannian was busy with his own affairs and did not notice the abnormality between the brother and sister.

She braised the sheep, scorpion and boiled intestine together, and asked Sanya to watch the fire, then put the dirty mattress and dirty clothes that had been replaced two days ago in the wooden barrel and headed to the river.

There is a river running through the entire village in Lujia Village, and the villagers do their clothes in that river.

She planned to wash out all these dirty clothes while the weather is good today.

However, when she walked halfway, she remembered that she had not taken soapcorns yet. In this era, there were no washing powder, laundry detergent, etc., only soapcorns.

Although it is not very convenient, it is also essential.

When Li Tannian returned to the gate of the yard, he heard Lu Dabao's deliberately suppressed low voices.

"Although stepmother is good to you recently, who knows how long she can last? You can't let stepmother know about the secretly we're selling mats. If stepmother knows, we won't be able to make money from this in the future."

Li Tannian's footsteps froze.

The little beans in the room didn't pay attention to her and kept talking whisperingly.

"I, I listen to my elder brother." Erbao hesitated.

"I'm not careful!" Sanya glared at Erbao and said disapprovingly: "I think the stepmother doesn't care about this little mat money."

Lu Dabao and Erbao looked at her at the same time, and Sanya shrugged her shoulders and looked calm.

"That day, when my stepmother and I went to the town, someone gave me two silver slots, but my stepmother didn't let me divide it. Later, she sold her eels for money and distributed some to me. Today, there were still more than ten copper coins left to buy oil cakes, and my stepmother also gave it to me."

Erbao was stunned, and Lu Dabao frowned.

That day, it was very strange that she handed him two hundred copper plates. Today, she actually gave Sanya another money?

Could it be that she has really become better?

But how could a person become so fast? No one knows better than him how much that woman loves money.

Yes, you must be wary of others!

He must be vigilant before he figures out what the woman is going to make.

When Lu Dabao thought about this, he felt a little cold in his voice: "Don't forget what kind of person she was before? Didn't the money she earned before be defeated by her?"

Erbao was silent, Sanya was a little confused. For some reason, she just believed that the stepmother treated her sincerely!

Li Tannian returned to the house with almost a silence. When the three little Doudings came back, they were all shocked.

"Do you think your little money in straw mat is enough for me to lose?" Looking at Lu Dabao, Li Tannian curled the corners of his mouth sarcastically.

"Stepmother, why are you back?" Lu Dabao's guilt flew in a flash. Soon, he showed a very natural smile, "Stepmother, I don't mean that."

Li Tannian took soapcorns from the house with a expressionless face and went out again.

There were no people by the river today, and Li Tannian was so happy that he walked to the river by stepping on the bluestone slab.

The spring is steep and the river water is still a bit cool.

Li Tannian placed all his clothes on bluestone slabs and scrubbed them one by one.

It is not easy to foam soap beans. Li Tannian rubbed them carefully and then glanced at Lu Dabao walking towards him.

"Stepmother..." Seeing that she ignored her, Lu Dabao hurriedly moved over, took a piece of dirty clothes, and helped rub it: "Stepmother, I don't know that you gave Sanya money, I... I'm sorry."

Li Tannian was not surprised at all by Lu Dabao's arrival. This girl was a scheming villain. Now she was saying something about apologizing, and she couldn't tell what she was thinking.

Rather than letting her believe that he felt guilty, she would rather believe that Lu Dabao was just afraid that she would ignore them.

"Stepmother, I will never dare to do it again. I will give you all the money for selling straw mats, okay?" Lu Dabao spoke again, and Li Tannian's mouth twitched: "Who cares about your money?"

Lu Dabao's little face froze: "Then you won't be angry, okay? I'll go to the reeds to cut reeds in the afternoon. I don't light an oil lamp. I just sit in the yard and help you weave mats day and night. With more amounts, more money will be more."

Li Tannian paused while rubbing her clothes. Although she knew that this person was very thoughtful, she felt depressed when she heard these words.

After silent, she asked without answering, "Have your legs been done?"

Lu Dabao nodded repeatedly: "There are still some mats at home. I was about to bring them to my second uncle in the afternoon. She knew the mats and could sell five copper plates per bed."

Li Tannian frowned. Although she didn't know the price of the mat, the five copper plates were indeed too low!

Having no intention of guessing whether he deliberately said the price was low, Li Tannian said straight: "You can take it to the town to sell it yourself, and no one else can trust it. However, if you don't want to become a cripple, it's better to wait until your legs are ready before going to the town."

Lu Dabao's eyes flashed, he let out a light "Oh" sound, and then lowered his head to continue rubbing his clothes.

The mother and son were fast and washed out a basin of clothes quickly.

Li Tannian looked at his little hands that were rubbing red, thinking about improving the soapcorn in the future so as not to rub it like this every time, and it would be very laborious.

Lu Dabao wanted to help, but Li Tannian didn't give in, so he simply followed Li Tannian and followed him step by step.

"Oh, Ziyan, look at who it is? Isn't that your sister Nian?"

"Isn't that true? Sister Nian must have known that you will have a rest today and will make a special trip to block you halfway!"

A teasing voice sounded, and Li Tannian looked in the voice and saw three young men dressed in scholars standing in place on the wooden bridge in front.

Li Tannian recognized Lin Ziyan who was walking in the middle at a glance.

Lin Ziyan is gentle and innocent, masculine, and more weak.

Especially after hitting her gaze, his face turned pale a little, and he turned around and ran away like a ghost.

Li Tannian frowned. She really didn't see what Lin Ziyan was good about. She couldn't hold her hands or shoulders. She looked like a little white face. As for what made the original owner love like that?

"You still look!" Lu Dabao saw her staring at Lin Ziyan with a good look, and glared at her dissatisfiedly.
