His hands unconsciously touched the rouge and lipstick on his sleeves. He felt that he was ridiculously tight, so he took out the purse Deng Zhong gave him that day and placed it in front of Li Tannian.
Li Tannian might as well bring back such a large bag of money without saying a word, and frowned for a moment: "Did you lend it to others again?"
Lu Zhi's heart felt cold, so he didn't explain much and went back to the house in silence.
Li Tannian felt that Lu Zhi was very strange, so she looked at him again and without saying anything else, she directly collected the money.
Anyway, as long as the fourth little one still has a lot of money to spend, she will put it away for the fourth little one first.
Early the next morning, Xiao Taohong came over with eyes red from crying.
Li Tannian saw that she was fine yesterday, but now she was so sad and sad. He thought something had happened, so he hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Xiao Taohong cried sadly for a while, and then told the story that the old patriarch asked her to draw lots for Lu Daniu when he saw that his brother was not coming back. By coincidence, she won the quota for his brother to enlist in the army.
come out.
When it came to the important part, Xiao Taohong cried so hard that she was out of breath.
"My parents are of the same blood as my brother. What if I enter the camp and go to the battlefield in the future? I haven't helped my brother find a wife yet. It's all up to me. I was the one who harmed my brother. Yes."
I am extremely unlucky, and I have just caused such a disaster for my brother!"
Li Tannian looked at her silently and talked to himself. She knew in her heart that there was no use in comforting her. After all, the matter of joining the army was a certainty. In this case, it was better to think about the future.
Xiao Taohong on the side was tired of crying. She just remembered that the third brother of the Lu family was also going to join the army. Seeing Li Tannian so calm, she suddenly felt surprised and a little annoyed.
She said this not to make Sister Nian sad.
She glanced at Li Tannian cautiously, and just as she was about to explain something, she heard Li Tannian speak: "Now that things have happened, we can only think carefully about the future. You go to the county today and find Brother Daniu.
Tell him about this. We need to prepare some things when we go to the military camp this time, so don’t delay. Why don’t Saburo and Brother Daniu have a companion in the future?”
Xiao Taohong felt a lot calmer inexplicably when she heard her calm tone.
Wiping her tears, she nodded to Li Tannian: "Sister Nian, you are right. I will go to the county right away!"
At this time in Lujia Village, Xiao Taohong was not the only one worried about recruiting soldiers. Mrs. Chen was so worried that several of her hair turned gray!
When her man was in the Lu family in the past, the mother and daughter could not get along well, and they were always disliked by their mother-in-law. Now, if the man really joins the army, what will happen?
In the future, she and Daya will probably live an even more difficult life in the Lu family.
For this reason, she even made a scene about returning to her parents' home, but Mrs. Yang and Mr. Yang just pretended not to hear and let her make trouble.
Mrs. Chen was just pretending that her parents' family was so poor that they couldn't even put enough food on the table. If she really went back, how could she arouse the disapproval of her parents?
But watching her man enlist in the army, she refused. After thinking about it, she came up with an idea: to borrow money from Zhang Chang!
As the saying goes, money can make all the difference. When the time comes, they borrow the money and give some to the military men stationed in the camp. The military men will be accommodating, and maybe they can join the army without arresting Da Lang?
Just do it, Chen immediately took her man to the cloth shop in the town.
Zhang Chang had originally planned to go to Lujiacun to see his brother-in-law who was about to enlist in the army, but recently, he had been troubled by many things.
Now, as soon as he returned from transporting goods from the county, he saw his uncle and brother arriving. He directly tied the carriage to the hemp rope post and greeted them warmly.
The two parties had a great time meeting each other. Although Lu Zhier and Zhang Chang's marriage has not yet happened, they seemed to have become a family!
When Mrs. Chen saw a young master of about thirteen years old sitting in the shop, she hurriedly accompanied him for twelve minutes and said cautiously: "This is the young master of my sister-in-law's family? He really looks very talented."
Brother Mao didn't even raise his head, as if he hadn't heard. Mrs. Chen was embarrassed for a moment, and then started chatting with Zhang Chang again.
As soon as Zhang Chang heard that Chen was here to borrow money, he thought for a moment and gave them five taels of silver. Chen didn't expect that his sister-in-law would be so generous, and he was immediately very unhappy.
Zhang Chang gave the money and warmly sent the couple to the entrance of the venue.
When Mao Geer in the cloth shop noticed that they were leaving, he stood up expressionlessly, then went out and untied the horse's reins from the rope post.
The horse had no restraints and ran forward wildly, knocking over a donkey cart!
The person driving the donkey cart was none other than Song Cuixi.
Song Cuixi fell to the ground hard, her whole body was in pain, and she subconsciously wanted to stop the carriage, but the pain was so severe that she couldn't get up for a while.
When she got up, the carriage had already disappeared!
Song Cui was overjoyed. She was rushing to deliver goods to April Day Restaurant, but she was hit by someone's carriage. What's the matter?
She was a tough girl by nature, and after a little relief from the pain, she first checked that the borrowed donkey cart was OK, then put all the eels that had fallen out of the cart back in, and then found someone to settle the score.
"Whose carriage was not tethered tightly enough to hit people like this in the street!"
Brother Mao glanced at it indifferently, then returned to the workshop to read. His indifferent expression was as if the person who had taken off the noose was not him at all.
Song Cuixi shouted in the street for a while, when someone reminded her that the carriage actually belonged to shopkeeper Zhang of Bufang. At that moment, she didn't care about going to the restaurant anymore. She asked someone to help guard the donkey cart, and went to Bufang by herself.
.
"Why doesn't your carriage have a rope? Do you know?"
As soon as her front foot entered and she was halfway through asking, she heard a gentle and warm voice coming from far away from the street behind her: "Madam, what kind of material have you chosen?"
Song Cuixi turned around and saw a man with a birthmark on his face walking over.
When Zhang Chang went to Lujiacun to make a decision for Lu Zhi'er before, she followed him and took a look from a distance, so she recognized him at a glance!
At this moment, when she saw this person again, she couldn't help but think of Lu Zhi'er's reputation and being able to marry with such good conditions. She felt as if she had eaten a sour apricot, and she was really jealous of the unfairness of her fortune.
Of course, she did not forget the purpose of this trip.
Pointing to the overturned donkey cart in the crowd, Song Cuixi asked him: "Shopkeeper Zhang, look over there."
Zhang Chang, inexplicably, followed the direction of her finger and looked into the crowd.
"Your carriage hit my donkey carriage and caused me to fall. How do you think this debt should be settled?"
Song Cuixi's words made Zhang Chang wake up and realized that his carriage containing high-quality fabrics was missing. He was even more anxious and wanted to go outside to look for it, but Song Cuixi held her sleeve tightly.
"Stop talking nonsense and pay the money!"
"Madam, how much do you want to pay? Can I come back and discuss it with you later? I have other urgent matters."
Song Cuixi was hit hard just now, and now she is still in great pain, but the culprit is not apologetic at all!
She immediately laughed out of anger, holding onto Zhang Chang's sleeve and refusing to let go.
"If something happens to you, nothing will happen to others? If you don't come up with a solution, I won't allow you to leave!"
"You, you are so unreasonable. I have already told you, just wait for me. When I am done, I will discuss compensation with you. I have such a big stall here, so I may not be able to rely on you."
Can’t settle the account?”
Zhang Chang could hardly maintain his gentle and polite expression, but Song Cuixi still had no intention of letting her go.
"I've made it very clear to you. I also have my own issues. Your carriage hit me like this. It's your turn to apologize to me this time. It was your fault in the first place!"
"Okay, okay, okay! Madam, how could my carriage hit you for no reason? Also, there are so many good materials on my carriage, and you are messing with me like this. If you really lose something, you
Do you dare to take responsibility?"
······
As soon as Li Tannian sent the four little ones out, he saw Song Cuixi and Zhang Chang fighting on the street.
