Thinking of this, Chen Wanbai asked: "Sister Sanya, how is Chen Yuanxiu doing recently? I saw someone chasing him in the town to ask him to pay back the money."
"Lobby My brother recently said that he found a job in the town and hasn't come back yet," Chen Wanling replied.
"Does Sister Sanya know which town he is in?"
"I don't know about that. I also heard the cousin and uncle complaining, saying that the cousin didn't even Go home." After Chen Wanling finished speaking, he added, "But it seems that the work in the town is not easy, and I didn't get the money back."
Chen Wanbai felt relieved after hearing this. Then he changed the question: "What about Chen Zhizhi? When will the engagement take place?"
Chen Wanling curled her lips and said, "I heard from people in the village that the eldest cousin is a maid and doesn't know how to get engaged. I don't know. One day, he was secretly picked up by a sedan chair."
The two of them talked all the way and soon arrived at Chen Wanbai's house.
/p>
"Third Aunt, I have eaten." Chen Wanling replied, but her stomach growled, contradicting her.
"Hey, you kid, come and have something to eat." Madam Liu pulled Chen Wanling over to the kitchen.
Chen Wanbai entered the room and dug out a small purse in the box.
Arriving at the kitchen, Chen Wanbai saw Chen Wanling holding a bowl of porridge, tears streaming down her face, while Mrs. Liu whispered persuasion from the side.
"Is this...?" Chen Wanbai looked at this scene and looked at Mrs. Liu.
"Xiao Bai, I don't know what happened. She started crying when she picked up the bowl and kept crying. She didn't say anything when I asked her." Mrs. Liu was a little helpless.
"Sister Sanya, stop crying now and finish eating quickly. Your mother is still waiting for you." Chen Wanbai hit the nail on the head.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Wanling stopped crying.
She said intermittently: "Third aunt, Xiaobai, I just feel a little uncomfortable. Why do we do the most work at home, but we can't even eat a bowl of porridge like this. Wuwuwuwu ..."
"Oh...you should eat more, there is still something in the pot." Mrs. Liu touched Chen Wanling's withered hair with a look of distress on her face.
I think back then, they were the same, they couldn’t even eat half a mouthful of dry food.
"Sister Sanya, I have some broken silver and copper plates here. Count them." Chen Wanbai put his purse on the table.
"Xiaobai, Sister Erya said just let me get fifty coins. If there is any extra, it is safer to store it with you. If you keep it at home, you will worry about being discovered by someone. It’s not mine anymore.” Chen Wanling took a mouthful of pickles and said while chewing.
"Okay, I'll keep the rest for you. If you need anything, feel free toCome to me anytime. "Chen Wanbai nodded to express his understanding.
If the Chen family found out that their sisters were hiding money, it would be fine. They would probably take it away and beat them severely.
Chen Wanling nodded, Her eyes were full of gratitude. She hurriedly finished the porridge in the bowl, put it down, and prepared to leave.
"You have another bowl, there is still more in the pot. "Chen Wanbai took the bowl and filled her with another bowl of porridge.
"Woo woo woo, thank you third aunt, thank you Xiaobai. "Chen Wanling started crying again. She looked at the bowl of thick porridge and wanted to take it back to Ding and Chen Wanru.
"Bring Sister Erya here next time. "Chen Wanbai saw what she was thinking, so he spoke.
Chen Wanling was thinking about Ding and Chen Wanrong, so she no longer refused, picked up the bowl and ate quickly.
"I've finished eating, Third Aunt, Xiaobai, I'm going back. "She carefully stuffed her purse into her arms, jumped up again, and made sure there was nothing wrong before preparing to run back.

"Sister Sanya, please wait a moment. "Chen Wanbai called to Chen Wanling, "Take these, hide them, and feed them to your mother secretly when no one is paying attention. ”
What Chen Wanbai stuffed into Chen Wanling was a small package of wild boar jerky. In the past few days, she had cut the marinated meat into small strips and smoked it into jerky.
"This..." Chen Wanling looked at the thing in his hand and wanted to refuse, but thinking of the Ding family at home, he was reluctant to give it back.
"Take it, but be sure to hide it, even from you. Dad can't even tell. "Chen Wanbai warned again.
If a foolish and filial man like Chen Dashan knew about this package of dried meat, he would probably use it to honor his parents, and then go back and beat them and their daughter. Three people.
Chen Wanling nodded and carefully hid the dried meat, very grateful to Chen Wanbai.
"Third aunt, Xiaobai, I will go back. "She said goodbye politely.
"Sister Sanya, don't rush home. Go directly to Dr. Chen. I happen to have to go to Dr. Chen's place to get some medicine. I'll go with you. "Chen Wanbai said.
"That's great, let's go together. "Chen Wanling was still a little scared. When she came, she took the mountain road and there was no one on the road.
Chen Wanling still didn't dare to go back by the main road. Chen Wanling took her to another little-known path to the village. .
The path was winding, the wild chrysanthemums on the roadside were in full bloom, and there were some morning glory twining around the branches, which had a unique flavor, but the two of them just kept walking.
No. After a while, they arrived at Dr. Chen’s house. The red maple tree in Dr. Chen’s yard was very conspicuous.
“Xiaobai, why are you here? How is your mother doing? "Dr. Chen saw Chen Wanbai and asked with a smile.
"Grandpa Chen, my mother took your medicine and her health has improved. "Chen Wanbai turned to look at Chen Wanling, "It's my cousin who came to find you. "
"Doctor Chen, my mother has a stomachache. She even saw blood last night. I'd like to invite you to take a look. Chen Wanling said eagerly, "I have money, I brought it with me." "
As she said that, she took out her purse.
"Don't be impatient. Speak slowly and clearly. " Doctor Chen asked them to sit down in the yard and spoke slowly.
Doctor Chen packed up the medicine box and went with Chen Wanling to see Ding.
"Grandpa Chen, Sanya Sister, I still have something to do, so I won’t be with you. "Chen Wanbai proposed to break up.
Chen Wanbai turned around and left Dr. Chen's house, walked in a big circle along another path, and walked to the village chief's house.
Chen's village chief's house The courtyard door was open, and there were voices coming from inside. Chen Wanbai didn't dare to knock on the door. She stood at the courtyard door and eavesdropped for a while. She only heard the voices of the village chief's wife and her daughter-in-law talking, and then she felt relieved. I went to knock on the door.
"Grandma Ma, I'm here again. Is the village chief grandpa at home?" "
"Hey, it's Xiaobai here, come in quickly. When Mrs. Ma saw Chen Wanbai, she was very enthusiastic. She quickly put down her work and came out.
Chen Wanbai walked into the yard and explained his purpose: "Grandma Ma, is the village chief grandpa at home?" I have something to discuss with the village chief.
Mrs. Ma nodded, "It's in the backyard. I'll take you there."
Chen Wanbai followed Mrs. Ma to the backyard and saw Village Chief Chen repairing the chicken coop. She shouted obediently: "Grandpa Village Chief, I have something to discuss with you."
Chen Kangnian put down his work, raised his head and asked with a smile: "Xiaobai, what's the matter?" Say it. ”
