Chapter 213 Is that still my elder brother?

The eight taels of silver ingots reflected the color of the firelight.

"Why is this money so fat?" Mrs. Xu asked in a low voice.

Li Wumei whispered: "This is called a silver ingot. When Wang Laifu sold deer, there were two such silver ingots."

Mrs. Xu nodded: "This is the first time I've seen him."

"It turns out that besides copper plates, there is money like this." Li Er touched his chin, his eyes almost glued to the silver ingots.

"This is nothing! In addition to silver ingots, there are also gold ingots like this! The color is more dazzling than the sun in the sky."

Seeing Li Si's shameless expression, Lin Tao's hands itched again.

She scratched the back of her right hand with her left hand and glanced at the children gathered opposite her. Lin Tao closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

I warned myself in my heart: Don’t scare the child.

When he opened his eyes, he forced a smile, so that he didn't beat up that boy Li Si in front of everyone.

The charcoal I brought this time was sold in twenty baskets.

Excluding what Xu Deren carried away, one basket could collect four taels, and twenty baskets would be eighty taels.

Lin Tao took it in her hand and saw, why was there an extra silver horn?

"What's going on?"

When I counted them carefully, there were twenty of them!

"Mom, the shopkeeper said that our charcoal sales are good. He was afraid that you would sell the charcoal to other people, so he offered to take only one tael from each basket in the future. No, he gave us twenty silver cents."

Li Er exclaimed: "Wait a minute, one silver ingot is ten taels, plus twenty silver horns one tael each, ten, twenty... Eighty is eight tens, plus twenty silver horns,

Just two tens, eight plus two...ten, ten tens!"

He made gestures with his ten fingers.

"Second brother! Look at the way you have never seen the world! Isn't it just one hundred taels?" Li Si hooked Li Er's shoulder, and the smug look on his face made Lin Tao feel uncomfortable.

Raising his hand, Li Si covered his head with an ouch and looked at her aggrievedly.

Lin Tao looked at her five open fingers and said softly: "Ah, my hand slipped."

Slippery hands?! Li Si rolled his eyes, who would believe it!

"Okay, stop crowding around and eat quickly!" Lin Tao collected the money and awkwardly changed the subject.

After the cowboy and carriage were settled, the whole family sat around.

Zhu's eyes were black and her lips were purple, and her outstretched hands were so cold that her skin and flesh were torn apart.

Lin Tao raised her hand and gave Li Yi next to her a big mouth.

Li Yi, who looked confused, almost cried when he came to his senses.

"Mom! My son really has nothing to hide! If you don't believe me, you can search for it!"

In order to prove his innocence, Li Yi even took the initiative to stand up and danced like a monkey with burned feet.

Lin Tao was so angry that she pinched her eyebrows.

Although she was not her biological child, she knew Li Yi, who was as timid as a mouse and would never dare to make any money even if ten of them were worth one piece.

"Am I talking about money?" Lin Tao was really angry.

He took Zhu Donghua's hand and said, "Honestly, was it Zhu Donghua who led the way? What about you? Why did you go?"

Li Yi stood there for a long time and finally lowered his head.

She was about to stand up when Mrs. Zhu pulled her back to the chair.

"Mom! It's not Li Yi's fault for this. It's because I don't trust him and don't let him take care of the cows. This is the first time you have entrusted me with an errand. I was afraid that I would fail, so I didn't dare to do anything on the way back and forth.

A trace of relaxation. Don't blame him."

Lin Tao asked doubtfully: "Really? Isn't he lazy again?"

"Really not! Don't worry, Li Yi is really different from before. He will remember everything you said. Right?" Zhu reached out and tugged at the corner of Li Yi's clothes.

Li Yi nodded slowly.

In order to lighten the atmosphere, Mrs. Zhu got up and went to the stove shed to help serve the cakes: "Let's eat! I'm really hungry on the way back."

"Daughter-in-law, let me help you." Li Yi chased and ran away.

While there was no one in the kitchen shed, Li Xiao whispered: "Donghua, thank you. If you hadn't spoken for me, I would have been beaten again today."

"I didn't speak for you either. I just told the truth. I really don't feel comfortable leaving the cow in your hands." After speaking in a low voice, Zhu Donghua took the bowl and walked out of the stove shed.

Looking at the departing figure, Li Yi felt very uncomfortable.

How should I put it, this feeling is like being abandoned.

In the courtyard, by the campfire.

Lin Tao divided the roasted rabbit meat into heads.

There were a lot of people in the family, so everyone got roast rabbit, which was not a big portion.

But the taste is really hard to describe.

The bones Li Si had chewed were all slippery.

Li Er was even more exaggerated, like a dog trying to chew up the bones and eat them.

Li San is as usual, what he eats is not important, the important thing is to fill his stomach.

Only Li Yiping was different from usual.

I saw him picking up piece after piece of meat and putting them into the red dong flower bowl.

"Okay, don't give it to me anymore, you can eat it yourself." Zhu Donghua tilted the bowl open.

Li Yi picked up another piece of meat and put it into the Zhudong flower bowl.

"Thank you for your hard work on this journey. I rarely went out before, and I never knew that the fear of going out and the pain of the extremely cold environment would be particularly devastating. I'm sorry for making you suffer."

Li Yi's words not only made Lin Tao freeze in place.

Others were just like that, turned into stone statues.

"Mom, eat slowly, I'm full." Zhu Donghua got up and ran away.

"Donghua! Eat more!" Li Yi ran after him to the kitchen shed.

Xiaowu suddenly said: "Second sister-in-law, is that still my eldest brother?"

Xu shook her head in confusion.

"That's not right! When has the boss ever been so considerate to others?" Li Si had a pair of oily hands, scratching and scratching his hair.

Li Er frowned and stared blankly at the stove for a long time. When he turned back, he gave Xu a piece of stewed rabbit meat. He also tore the roasted rabbit meat in his hand into two halves and put in the dried meat and dried pork.

In a bowl of lily of the valley.

Now it's okay, it's Xu's and the two dolls' turn to stare at each other.

"Eh!" Li Si stood up fiercely: "What a shame! It's amazing to have a wife! Huh!" After saying that, he walked away without looking back.

Xiaowu bumped Mr. Xu's shoulder, stood up, and walked away with a smile.

"Second brother has also changed! He has learned to feel sorry for his second sister-in-law."

After finishing his meal, Li San said coldly: "People's hearts change people's hearts."

Look, even though Li San looks like a piece of wood at ordinary times, his heart is clearer than these others!

The whole family left, and apart from a bunch of ignorant children, only the second child and his wife were left.

In two lifetimes, Lin Tao felt like a light bulb for the first time.

It's still the 500-watt kind.

Niuniu suddenly put a piece of rabbit meat into her bowl, and the little girl said like an adult: "Niuniu feels sorry for me too."

Lin Tao:......

A good dinner ended in embarrassment.

Early the next morning, Zhou Xiaohe sent the children, except Niuniu, to Gong Chengliang's house, and then knocked on the main room door.

"Godmother, I want to move to a new house today."

Thinking about it, Zhou Xiaohe must have felt guilty that he had occupied the house and let the eldest, second and second families divide the room.
