Chu Shouli actually didn't want to go to work dressed as a beggar, so under Chu Ning's persuasion, he put on the cotton jacket and trousers he had changed out of earlier.
"Dad, don't you have a hat?"
"No……"
Chu Shouli replied subconsciously. After he said the words, he realized that he wanted to understand. His daughter was caring about him.
He scratched his head and said with a smile, "Dad is used to it, it's okay if you don't use that thing."
Chu Ning frowned.
It was icy and snowy outside, so cold that ice fell off, and the whistling breeze was as cold as a knife, which could cut off a person's ears. How could he just leave his head open like this?
She didn't take it seriously before, but now, of course, she can't just watch her father suffer, "I remember that I have a dog-skin hat, why don't I borrow it first, and then I can buy one for Dad and then return it to him..."
"I can't do it, I can't do it!"
Chu Shouli shook his head repeatedly, "That hat is your father's treasure, and he is reluctant to wear it."
Chu Ning choked and almost rolled her eyes at him, "The purpose of that thing is to keep out the cold. What would you do if you didn't wear it? Should it grow worms or hair?"
"Besides, who is more valuable, people or things? If dad gets cold, not only will he not be able to work and make money, but he will also have to spend money on medicine. Wouldn't the total loss of both ends be greater?
Not to mention the money, you will suffer even if you are sick..."
Speaking of money, Chu Shouli immediately remembered the original intention of coming to her, "Daughter, daddy wants to discuss something with you. That, that, your grandparents' money, you should return it to them..."
Chu Ning raised his eyebrows, "Dad, don't you complain?"
"Ah? What are you complaining about?"
"Grandma is partial."
Chu Shouli was startled by Chu Ning, "You kid! Why do you say anything?"
"Isn't it?"
Chu Ning didn't care about his scolding at all, "Dad worked hard every day to make money, but he didn't have a single coin in his hand. But the people in the first, second, fourth and fifth houses didn't do anything, but they all saved a lot."
Private money, this is too unfair..."
"Zhaodi!"
When Chu Shouli was anxious, he habitually called her by her nickname, "No, Ning'er, your grandparents are in charge of this family. We can't, can't..., oh, you are still a child, don't worry about these things..."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now."
Chu Ning sighed faintly, "I was about to die before, and my grandma refused to spend money to hire a doctor for me. Yesterday, the three old people were all burnt and confused. They still held their money bags and refused to let go. They would rather see us.
Even if you die, you won't pay a fortune.
What kind of relatives are these, what kind of elders are they? They are not even as good as an outsider. It is really chilling.
Also, it was Uncle Wu who got into trouble with the gambling house, but he wanted to sell our sisters to pay off the debt. Uncle Wu who made the mistake was only scolded a few times, not even beaten, let alone anything else.
As a punishment, even his private money was not taken away...
Oh, how can you not be so partial that it makes people's teeth cold?"
Chu Shouli said in a hoarse voice, "...No matter how bad they are, they are still your grandparents, elders, and the head of this family. You have to remember that without them, there would be no big family, no father, and no mother."
, let alone you, in short you have to be filial to them, and you can’t pick on them..."
Just know it is so.
Chu Ning rolled his eyes rudely, "Dad, have you ever thought about why you work so hard to earn money? You can't control the life and death of your own children. If you say you want to abandon them, you will abandon them, and if you say you want to sell them, you will sell them. , I don’t care about you at all and don’t care about your feelings. It seems that you are just a tool to make money..."
Chu Shouli was so chilled by what she said, "No, it's not like that..."
"What's that like?"
"..."
"Well, grandma and grandma are elders and can't pick on each other, so let's not talk about them for now.
Let’s talk about Brother Dalang. He obviously has so much money, but he watched our sisters being sold with cold eyes. Did he care about you, the third uncle? Yes, he has no money to pay for studying, but he can eat, wear and so on. Yes, it’s useful, isn’t it provided by your family?
Dad’s share of that money is from him!
He spent my hard-earned money but treated my children like this. Isn’t my dad angry at all?"
Chu Shouli spoke with difficulty, "Ning'er, stop talking."
"Does dad really believe that a selfish person like Chu Dalang will support the family and support our big family when he becomes an official?"
Chu Ning sneered coldly, "No! If a person like him really gets prosperous, he will only dislike the Chu family for holding him back, and will not help everyone. By then, Dad will be old and useless. If he can no longer make money, he will be the first person he dislikes..."
"Ning'er!"
"Did I say something wrong? For this family and for my grandparents, my father worked tirelessly to earn money, but have they ever considered you at all?..."
"Stop talking!"
In the Chu family, only Chu Pinggui, his wife and Chu Dalang could use oil lamps at will, and others rarely used them. Unless there were special circumstances, they would always act in the dark sooner or later.
For example, Chu Shouli, even though he is the only person in the family who works to make money, he is not willing to light a lamp and spend oil. He wakes up early and comes home late every day in the dark.
There was a glimmer of snow outside, so it was not a problem to go on the road, but it was so dark inside that it was almost impossible to see anything.
Who told them that they couldn't even paper the windows with hemp paper, so they could only seal the windows with wooden boards in winter?
It was in this dim light that Chu Shouli looked at his daughter in front of him, looking at her blurry outline, and suddenly felt an indescribable sadness, "...Child, you are still young, there are some things you don't understand..."
He suppressed his tumbling emotions and said in a deep voice, "It's all because of dad's incompetence that you sisters have been wronged. If you want to blame, just blame dad. Don't blame your grandparents."
Well!
After talking for a long time, this is the result.
Chu Ning sighed helplessly.
That's all, she didn't expect to be able to talk people through in one go.
In order not to embarrass Chu Shouli, Chu Ning promised him that he would return the money from each house, and said, "Don't worry, Dad, as long as they don't provoke me, I won't let the Red Wolf scare them."
Chu Shouli was quite pleased.
His daughter is reasonable.
"Yeah, it's getting late, I have to leave quickly."
"Dad, wait, I'll be back as soon as I go."
Chu Ning didn't care whether it was early or not, he went directly to the room to borrow a hat. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ms. Qin trotting to the kitchen like a thief.
Xiao Zhaodi is such a girl, she really doesn’t know what to say.
When Chu Pinggui and Lao Chen heard that Chu Ning said they wanted to pay back the money, they immediately got up from the bed. Especially Lao Chen, who was extremely fast and got dressed in just a few seconds. She jumped off the Kang and was so anxious. I went to open the door of the house, but I was chilled by the cold wind and didn't care. "Where's the money? Where's my money?"
Chu Ning said, "Lend my father his dog-skin hat to wear."
"What?!"
Seeing that she had nothing in her hands and wanted to borrow something, Old Chen suddenly became furious and said, "You shameless little whore, how dare you play tricks on me..."
"Dad! You called me a little whore!"
Chu Shouli was filled with displeasure, "Mother!"
"You unfilial son, you are becoming more and more promising now, how dare you yell at me, let's see how I deal with you!"
Old Chen turned around and picked up the broomstick and was about to throw it away, but Chu Pinggui stopped him in time and said, "Go get the hat."
"Old man!"
Now it's Old Chen's turn to call.
Chu Pinggui glared at her and said, "Go quickly!"
Even though Old Chen was usually extremely arrogant and arrogant, when something really happened, she had to listen to Chu Pinggui. So under Chu Pinggui's glare, she finally reluctantly took out the dog-skin hat.
.
Chu Ning took it with both hands, "Great, with this hat, my dad won't get sick."
Originally, Chu Shouli had made up his mind that no matter what she said, he would never wear this hat, but now that he heard her say this, he couldn't even say no.
Finally, at Chu Ning's insistence, he had to wear the hat.
Chu Ning did what she said. After sending Chu Shouli away, she turned around and took out the money box and returned it to Old Chen. As for the money bags of the first, second, fourth, and fifth rooms, she hung them on the doors of each room.
Yes, I kindly mentioned it.
As a result, the Chu family couldn't sleep, and they were all tormented by her.
Mrs. Kong hurriedly urged Chu Shouren, "Master! Hurry up! Don't let that shameless fifth take the money back!"
If it hadn't been for Chu Ning, none of them would have known that Chu Shouxin actually still had some private money. He owed Dafang a full fifty taels, but he never paid back a penny. He was really nothing!
Chu Ning folded his arms and watched the excitement. Seeing that Chu Shouren and his wife finally defeated Chu Shouxin and his wife with an overwhelming advantage, Chu Ning couldn't help but sigh.
What a fierce guy!
A lot of young people are not afraid of slipping their waists.
