After getting the money, Xu Dashan hurried back home.

"Mom, mom, I borrowed money." Xu Dashan ran into the house and gave the change in his hand to Zhang.

Zhang's head was bruised during the fight, and now she was holding her forehead with sackcloth wrapped around it as she leaned on the table. Taking the silver from Dashan's hand, Zhang counted it and then frowned.

"That bastard only gave you four taels? How are we going to make up the remaining one tael?" Zhang stared at Xu Dashan and gasped.

Xu Dashan was almost losing his temper at this time. He had to beg his second brother to borrow so much money. When he asked his second brother to transfer the property, he said it would be quick. Now he was asking for money so diligently: "Mom, my second brother is not doing well. This is all he has."

"Hmph! I think he just doesn't want to give it to me. He wants to laugh at me." Zhang waved her hand downward vigorously and cursed Xu Wenyan as harshly as she could.

"Enough! Mother." Xu Dashan couldn't stand it anymore. No matter how filial he was, he could still tell right from wrong. Four taels of silver was already a lot. Their family only earned four taels of silver in a year by growing crops.

My second brother has already left the house, so giving this much is already the greatest tolerance: "If you hadn't insisted on coveting that fifteen taels of silver, our family wouldn't be in such a mess, my little sister wouldn't be missing, and my father wouldn't be in jail."

Hearing that her eldest son actually yelled at her, Zhang widened her eyes and looked at Xu Dashan in disbelief. This was the first time that Xu Dashan yelled at her in all the years she had raised him: "You are rebelling, you are rebelling. Xu Dashan! How dare you, you unfilial son, talk to your mother like that? I really raised an ungrateful person! I..." Zhang looked around, stood up and was about to bang her head against the wall.

Xu Dashan reacted quickly and grabbed Zhang who was about to bang his head against the wall.

"I really wish I could die. I have raised two rebellious sons and a slutty girl. They don't want me to live a good life." Zhang slapped Xu Dashan who was trying to stop her, cursing and crying about how miserable she was.

What people said most was that she should not have married his father. If she had not married into the Xu family, she could have followed her family to the county to enjoy a good life.

"Mom, I was wrong." Xu Dashan felt uncomfortable seeing his mother crying and making a fuss like this.

This last ounce of silver was borrowed by Xu Dashan from the village chief's house. After all, he was the head of the village. If someone in the village went to jail, the reputation of their Xujia Village would be ruined.

......

Chen family.

Both adults in the family were in a bad mood. Looking at their expressions, Chen Xiaohua and Chen Dong were a little scared.

My eyes were a little red, but I didn't dare to cry. What if I annoyed my uncle and he threw me away?

Chen Xiaohua immediately pulled Chen Dong out of the yard.

Helping her brother wipe away his tears, Chen Xiaohua whispered to Chen Dong: "Xiaodong, do you want to leave your uncle's house?"

Chen Dong's little head shook like a rattle: "No, sister, I don't want to leave uncle's house. Little uncle and uncle are very good to us, just like grandma. I don't want to leave."

Seeing her brother's pitiful appearance, Chen Xiaohua also wanted to cry: "If we don't want to be left, we have to do something to make our uncles happy. If the uncles are happy, they will not abandon us."

Chen Xiaohua comforted Chen Dong while walking into the kitchen. The two uncles had been busy since they came back and had not stopped yet. They probably hadn't eaten yet, so Chen Xiaohua wanted to cook for them.

Watching the two little guys carrying their bowls and lowering their heads as they walked into the house, Xu Wenyan realized that he, as an adult, had been somewhat irresponsible.

"Uncle, let's eat, uncle." Chen Xiaohua pursed her lips and looked at the two adults sitting inside with evasive eyes.

Xu Wenyan knew that this was a manifestation of her timidity and flattery. Children like Xiaohua can easily develop a people-pleasing personality.

Shaking his head, not wanting to think about these troubles anymore, Xu Wenyan stood up, took Chen Sanlin's hand and went out to eat. At most, he could just apologize to Chen Sanlin again, and he would definitely be able to earn the money back.

Tonight Chen Sanlin was still lying on his side, and this time Xu Wenyan hugged him directly from behind.

"Brother Chen? Are you angry?"

Chen Sanlin blurted out: "No..." Then he thought about what if his wife didn't coax him again: "Yeah."

Xu Wenyan secretly thought that it was not good. It turned out that he had spent too much of his money. But now his illness was not cured yet, and he did not have the energy to make money. It was really worrying.

"Why did you touch that man's waist today?" Chen Sanlin turned around and looked at Xu Wenyan.

"I don't want to spend so much money but...ah?" Touching a man's waist? When did he touch a man's waist: "Who did I touch?"

Chen Sanlin frowned slightly: "You still don't admit it. The man was injured today. Why did you rub his waist with your hand?"

"I...I'm innocent. I touched him accidentally when I was taking off his clothes." Xu Wenyan really didn't know what to say. So this is the key point.

After that, Chen Sanlin took his hand, lifted his clothes, put Xu Wenyan's hand to his mouth and bit it lightly, then put it on his waist: "Then you should touch mine accidentally."

"Ahem..." It was the first time that Xu Wenyan was said such dirty words by a man. He also wondered how Chen Sanlin could say such words seriously: "Okay, okay, let me touch it." But the other person was not angry because he spent so much money because he spoiled him. He still had to coax him.

Feeling the slightly cold hands, Chen Sanlin brought them closer to his body and then used his hands to bring him into his arms.

Xu Wenyan's face turned red and he was about to break free, but Chen Sanlin held him tighter: "Why are your hands so cold? Is the medicine still working?"

Feeling the body temperature of this big man, Xu Wenyan sighed softly and softened in his arms: "Yes, it works. I have had this disease since I was a child, and I need to slowly treat it."

"it is good."

If you say Chen Sanlin is honest, he would hug her forcefully at any time, and she couldn't get away no matter what she did. If you say he is dishonest, he just hugged her, and Xu Wenyan didn't think about it anymore, she closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

On the third day after this incident, Fengxian County welcomed the first snow of the year.

The snow started to fall at noon. The snow was not big and mixed with frost. In about half an hour, the roof of the Chen family's cottage was already white.

The gray-white walls and pure white roof make it a rare landmark building in Jixiang Village.

"Sanlin's wife." The person who came was Wang Cuijuan. She was carrying a small backpack with a winnowing basket covering the top.

Seeing the person coming, Xu Wenyan went out to greet him: "It's my aunt, please come in and sit down. It's snowing heavily outside."

Wang Cuijuan put the backpack on the stool, picked up the dustpan and revealed the finished cotton clothes inside: "This is the clothes I made for you, try them on quickly, if they don't fit, I'll make some changes."

Xu Wenyan called Chen Xiaohua and Xiaodong over. The clothes were a little big for the two children after they put them on, but Wang Cuijuan had specially made them bigger. Children grow fast, so the clothes have to be made bigger. Besides, it would be uneconomical to make the cotton cloth smaller.

The clothes for the two adults were just right, with some sewn patterns on the cuffs, which was very unique.

"Aunt, you are so thoughtful. This dress is warm and beautiful." There are some leftovers from making this set of clothes. They can be pieced together to make a blanket or quilt. Wang Cuijuan also took some of them and said, "Aunt, you can keep these scraps and use them to make socks."

Looking at the cotton material in the backpack, Wang Cuijuan was really tempted. She had never worn cotton socks before. Moreover, it was really cold today. Her feet were numb after just taking a step.

Seeing Wang Cuijuan's embarrassed expression, Xu Wenyan added: "Aunt, just think of it as making it for us. The remaining ones are enough to make two pairs for you and your second uncle."

"Okay, I'll give it to you when it's done." Wang Cuijuan didn't stay any longer, she put her things on her back and went home again.

Feeling the moderate snow and cold wind, Xu Wenyan was right in his guess that this winter would not be easy to get through.

"Everyone, change into your cotton clothes, so that you don't catch a cold and have to spend money on treatment." Xu Wenyan's expression was a little serious, and even Chen Sanlin followed him back to the house and changed into new clothes.

After a while, Chen Dong ran over happily: "Uncle, the cotton-padded jacket is so comfortable, and there is a little tiger here."

Looking at the place where Chen Dong was standing, there was indeed a small tiger, which was really lifelike. Then he looked at Chen Xiaohua who had just walked in with a happy look on her face. There were a few red flowers on her clothes.

It seems that Chen Sanlin's second aunt has a really good character.

The snow continued to fall until the evening and it didn't look like it would stop. Just as Chen Sanlin was about to close the door to the yard, he saw two people walking towards the yard in the distance.

Chen Sanlin waited for a while, and when he saw people approaching, he could see clearly that they were Rong Xiaoliu and Rongrong, brother and sister.

Although Chen Sanlin didn't like Rong Xiaoliu very much, he still let them in.
