Chapter 805: Accident

The old Zhou's family didn't expect that Man Bao and the others would come back at this time. After all, they had only been out for thirteen or four days, and the family was in panic at this time, and the atmosphere was very bad.

As soon as Man Bao and Zhou Lijun jumped in from the gate, all the adults in the yard fell silent.

The children were very happy, especially the five and six, who ran towards the sister-in-law with short legs, and plunged into her arms to eat sweets.

Man Bao stuffed them with a handful of candy from his pocket, and ran towards her father...

Old Zhou looked at her with a headache, "Why are you back now?"

Man Bao was unhappy: "Father, you don't want me to go home?"

Old Zhou Tou hurriedly said: "No, no, even if you didn't say anything, Dad was a little scared."

Man Bao looked at her mother.

Although Qian Shi was also surprised, she didn't show it on her face. She nodded and said, "Go and wash up. I'll let Da Ya clean up the room for you."

"Hey, is Da Ya at home?" After Man Bao finished speaking, he saw that his sister-in-law was also at home, and asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, isn't the shop open?"

Xiaoqian glanced at her mother-in-law and said with a smile: "I will go home for February 2, so the shop will be closed for a few days. Are you hungry? I'll cook for you. What would you like to eat?"

"Whatever, as long as it's made by my sister-in-law, I like to eat it."

The old Zhou's family had already eaten dinner, and now it was dark, and everyone was about to wash their hands and feet and go to bed. As soon as Man Bao and Zhou Lijun came back, everyone sat in the main room and watched them eat.

Qian asked, "Why are you back?"

Zhou Lijun looked at his sister-in-law, and Man Bao said: "On February 2, we will be back for the temple fair, and the government schools and colleges are also on holiday."

"How many days will you be back?"

Man Bao said: "Go back on the fifth day of the lunar new year."

Old Zhou Tou couldn't help but exclaimed, "So long?"

Man Bao turned to look at her father, more and more sure that something happened at home.

She glanced at the brothers and sisters-in-law who were sitting in a circle, and didn't ask immediately. Instead, she went to wash and change clothes after eating noodles, and then ran to the courtyard.

At this moment, everyone went back to their houses, the yard was quiet, only the lights in the parents' room were on for the first time.

Even though the life of the old Zhou's family is better than before, the old Zhoutou and Qian's are still very economical, and they will never light the lights when they can.

Man Bao walked outside the house of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, hesitated for a while and still didn't knock on the door, but went straight to the main room.

She knew that her parents were still in charge of the family. If she and Bai Shan guessed correctly, she was really not a child of her parents. Even if the sister-in-law knew, she would not tell her no matter how much she loved her, so she still had to ask her parents.

Man Bao knocked on the door.

The couple who were whispering in the room had a meal, and Lao Zhou got out of bed to open the door. Seeing Man Bao outside the door, he asked curiously, "Why aren't you asleep?"

"Father, do I have something to tell you?"

"Is there anything you can't say tomorrow?" Old Zhou said, "You are a big girl now, you can't sleep with your parents anymore."

"I don't want to sleep with you guys," Man Bao squeezed into the room, breaking through her father's stalwart body and sneaking into the room, "Mother, I have something to do."

Qian Shi smiled and said, "Come here."

Man Bao ran over immediately, and turned her head to give her father a proud look.

Man Bao sat beside her mother and hugged her arm, Qian Shi reached out and touched her head and asked, "What's the matter, let's talk."

But Man Bao hesitated for a moment, with countless questions in his mind, but he didn't know where to ask, where to start.

Seeing that Man Bao lowered his head and said nothing, Lao Zhou couldn't help but ask, "Did you get into trouble outside? Did you hit someone, or..."

"No," Man Bao raised his head to deny, took a look at her father and took out the long-life lock from his collar, "Father, mother, where did this long-life lock come from?"

Old Zhou Tou and Qian Shi were taken aback for a moment, not understanding why she asked this question, and said, "Dad and Mother called you, what's the matter?"

Man Bao lowered his eyes and asked, "How much did it cost?"

Old Zhou thought for a while and said carefully: "It's not expensive, it's only two or three taels. Why did you think of asking this?"

Man Bao's heart was sour, and her eyes turned red. She couldn't hold it back for a while, tears fell down, and Lao Zhou was stunned, and hurriedly wiped her tears with distress, "What's wrong with you, you Being bullied outside?"

She could feel the pain when the rough hand was rubbed on Man Bao's tender face, but Man Bao felt even more wronged, and the tears fell even more fiercely.

Old Zhou got anxious and quickly looked at his wife.

Qian's heart moved, his mouth moved, and in the end he just reached out and hugged Man Bao.

Man Bao threw herself into her mother's arms and began to cry. After crying for a while, the depression in her heart dissipated a lot. When she looked up and saw her parents who were looking at her with concern, she pouted and said aggrievedly: "You all lied to me. , I know it all."

Old Zhou asked: "What did we lie to you, and what do you know?"

Man Bao wiped away the remaining tears on his face, and said in a sobbing voice, "Father, do you know how much this longevity lock is worth?"

Old Zhou was stunned, "How much is it worth?"

Man Bao originally wanted to say that it was worth a hundred taels, but when he saw her father's appearance, he said, "It's worth a thousand gold!"

Lao Zhou's head and feet went limp, and he supported her shoulders to stand firm, "This, so many?"

Qian also opened her mouth wide in surprise, and quickly asked, "Who said this?"

Man Bao said: "Master Tang said that this long-lived lock is not affordable for ordinary people. I also took it to ask the shopkeeper of the silver building. This silver lock was made by a very famous silversmith, so it is very expensive. .”

"No matter how expensive it is, it's only one piece of silver. How could it be worth so much money?" Old Zhou murmured, "They don't have that much money..."

Man Bao heard it sharply, and asked, "Who are they? Yes, yes..."

Man Bao burst into tears again, and asked, "Is it them?"

When Qian saw it, she knew that she knew it, and he was panicked, so he half hugged her and asked, "Does the county magistrate of Tang also know?"

Man Bao looked at his mother and said nothing.

Qian Shi sighed.

Man Bao tugged at her sleeve and cried, "Mother, just tell me."

Qian looked at Old Zhou.

Old Zhou sat down on a chair beside him, silent and did not speak.

The room fell silent.

At this time, Bai Shan had just finished his dinner, bid farewell to his grandmother and mother and went back to his room.

Mrs. Liu sent him away with a smile, and when he had disappeared, the smile on her face fell.

Zheng Shi on the side was confused, and asked cautiously, "Mother, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect them to come back now, you go back and rest first, I'll sit alone for a while."

Mrs. Zheng saluted and left.

After Mrs. Zheng left, Mrs. Liu supported Nanny Liu's hand and said, "Let's go, let Daji come to see me."

"yes."

Bai Shan's sudden return was also beyond Mrs. Liu's expectations, and the child seemed to keep his promise and never told Mrs. Liu anything, so Mrs. Liu talked to him for a long time, but she didn't understand him. Why did you run back at this time.

The next update will be around 2pm
