Now that the relationship between Liao Qing and her son is not good, it is estimated that the money cannot be kept in his hands, and it will be easily searched for.

If you give it back to him, it might be transferred to Liao's mother. Liao's mother still doesn't know how to remember favors, and will complain about Liao Qing for hiding a large sum of money. Who knows what trouble will happen.

After thinking about it, it seemed better to leave the sixty taels of silver in Xu Jiaojiao's hands for the time being.

Just when Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao were staring at each other, they suddenly saw Xiao Silang of the Xu family staggering into Liao Village.

Seeing Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing from a distance, she shouted loudly, "Auntie, old aunt, it's not good, something happened at home..."

***

Xu Laoer's suicide was discovered by Xu Zhang.

The family was not at home, so Xu Jiaojiao took Erya to Liaojia Village, where Erlang, Xu Laosi, Xu Youde and others went to work in the fields.

Luo Shi and Yao Shi went out to chat with each other.

Sanya, Sanlang, and Wulang were sent by Xu Zhang to hunt pigweed in the mountains.

Mrs. Xu Zhang was the only one left in the house, and she was counting the tubes of loquat paste in the cellar.

The loquat paste is also packed in large wooden boxes in the cellar, and everything is placed in order.

The cellar is also locked. It's impossible not to lock it. There are too many bad guys in the house.

I can sneak a lot of food to you without anyone noticing.

Most of the items in the cellar belong to the old girl. Loquat paste and loquat wine are very valuable.

There are only three keys to the cellar door lock, one for Xu Youde, one for Xu Zhangshi, and one for Xu Jiaojiao, but no one else has one.

Mrs. Xu Zhang often went in to check the wine jars or loquat paste.

When Mr. Xu and his family were leaving, while Xu Dalang was talking to Xu Youde, he wanted to bring ten tubes of loquat ointment as a gift to his mentor, classmates and friends, but Mr. Xu Zhang rejected it. Why are they so shameless?

As soon as I opened my mouth, there were ten tubes!

The old girl only kept more than thirty tubes in total, and they were left for Xu Youde, to honor the two elders.

Xu Youde is a long-time smoker. He can live longer by taking loquat paste to clear his lungs and detoxify.

Da Lang started to speak loudly, and Mrs. Xu Zhang scolded Xu Xiucai bloody.

They left in despair.

Ten tubes, the market price outside is five hundred penny, which is half a tael of silver. They didn't take out a penny when they returned home. Before leaving, they wanted to take the good things from home, but there was no door.

Mrs. Xu Zhang angrily finished her routine inventory of things in the cellar. As soon as she returned to the main room, her eyelids twitched.

She subconsciously went to the second room.

After Xu Lao Er and his family left, Xu Lao Er has been in poor condition in the past few days and has eaten very little.

He was so skinny that he almost lost his appearance.

He is basically sleeping all day long, and he sleeps for half the day. The person who takes care of him is quite relaxed.

This time, Xu Laoer also fell asleep, and Xu Zhang and others went to do their own things.

When Xu Zhang entered the house, she saw Xu Laoer lying quietly on the kang, "Lao Er, do you have anything you want to eat? Tell your mother, she will cook some for you alone. Is it okay for you to eat eggs every day?

If you're tired of it, I'll cut you a pound of meat and make some dumplings to eat. You used to love steamed dumplings with some rice vinegar... dick?"

After talking for a long time, I didn't hear Xu Laoer's reaction.

Are you still awake?

Mrs. Xu Zhang came closer and saw that Xu Laoer's eyes were closed tightly, but there was some blood dripping from the corner of his mouth!!

Xu Zhang was so frightened that she screamed, "Second brother? Second child? What's wrong with you?"

After several calls in succession but no response, she checked his breathing again and found that it was almost gone.

Mrs. Xu Zhang hurriedly ran out of the yard to call for help. She called all the old Xu family members back and asked them to quickly call for a doctor.

The whole family was shocked!

Xu Laoer bit his tongue and committed suicide in the house!

…

When Xu Jiaojiao, Erya and the others hurried back, Xu Laoer's people had already rescued them.

I was able to invite Dr. Li, a traveling doctor from the next village, who happened to be at home, so I invited him over.

Dr. Li forcibly opened Xu Laoer's teeth and stopped the bleeding on his tongue.

Because Xu Laoer had not eaten much for many days, his body was weak to a certain extent, and his teeth had no strength. Even if he tried his best, he could not bite off his tongue, but only bit half of it. Xu Zhang's

When he was discovered, it was mainly due to excessive bleeding that led to coma.

The neighbors on the left and right were alarmed, and they all showed concern and sympathy for Xu Lao Er. Some kind-hearted women even silently shed tears of sympathy.

Xu Laoer is really pitiful.

Lao Xu's family were all frightened. This was really an accident, and Xu Laoer committed suicide.

When Xu Jiaojiao returned, a circle of people gathered outside the house, discussing Xu Laoer's suicide.

When they saw Xu Jiaojiao coming back, they all greeted her and asked her about her situation. Xu Jiaojiao was not in the mood to reply and went to the second room with Erya.

Luo Shi was outside the house with her children, looking panicked. When she saw Xu Jiaojiao, she seemed to have regained her composure.

Entering the second room, Doctor Li had already left.

Mrs. Xu Zhang sat on the edge of Xu Laoer's kang, wiping her handkerchief and shedding tears.

Yao stood aside, his face pale with fright.

Xu Youde sat at the edge of the table, holding a pipe in his hand but not smoking. He looked at Xu Laoer on the kang with concern.

The children had tears on their faces and did not dare to cry.

Only Mrs. Xu Zhang was crying and cursing Xu Laoer, "You worthless thing, how did you promise us last time? You said you didn't want to die, but after only a few days, you don't keep your words? In our family

Did I ignore you or didn't give you anything to eat? I still want to cut off a pound of meat and make dumplings for you to eat. I still have a few days to live after death. You bastard who chopped off your head, don't think that you

Now that things are like this, I can’t scold you anymore. Your parents haven’t left yet. You want to get ahead of us in such a hurry. Do you want to make me and your father angry to death? Do you really want to die? Okay.

, then I’ll just die in front. If I’m dead, you can do whatever you want, and I won’t feel any pain in my heart..."

Xu Laoer whimpered and cried bitterly.

His tongue was in severe pain and he could not make any sound. Just by listening to his cries, you could feel his despair and sadness.

As soon as Xu Jiaojiao entered the room, Mrs. Xu Zhang cried even more sadly when she saw her.

He hugged Xu Jiaojiao and said, "My son, your second brother can't think about it. He doesn't want my mother to live. He wants to die every three days. It's a pity that I'm so old and still worried every day. My

Son, I can’t live anymore..."

Xu Jiaojiao hurriedly comforted Mrs. Xu Zhang, "Okay, mother, the second brother is really uncomfortable. Let me come and see the second brother."
