Chapter 278 He is the cannon fodder control group (34)
"Don't you believe in my judgment in this regard?" Si Lao Er looked very proud.
His wife made a snort and rolled her eyes, "Didn't you say before that if I took away my elder brother and his wife's property, I would be forced to wear silk and silk, eat wild delicacies, and order maids and servants around? What happened?
It's just this big house and nothing else. You also say that the elder brother and sister-in-law left a large sum of money for Man'er with someone else. Who knows, that person might show up when he gets married.
What about people?
Now you only have this one room, and you can’t eat or drink. You haven’t even managed to get the shop that your elder brother and sister-in-law bought in the city…”
"Shut up." Si Lao Er looked at his wife with cold eyes.
His wife was frightened by him and stopped talking immediately.
"Get up now, and go call Qing Ge'er back. If you can make those two outside happy today, maybe you can have a sweet dream of wearing silk and eating delicacies tonight. Otherwise, I will give you a nightmare now!"
He waved his fist, and his wife shrank back and hurriedly got up, "I'll go, you promised not to hit me again..."
He got up mumblingly, put on his half-worn thick cotton coat, ruffled his hair a few times and asked, "Where can I find Qing Ge'er?"
She has been bedridden these days and has no idea what Qing'er does outside every day.
"You go out and look for it. Why not ask every household? If you ask me, who should I ask?"
Si Laoer raised his fist again, and his wife quickly shrank her neck and went out.
When he went out, he saw Si Guangyao squatting outside the door. "Erbao, what are you doing here? It's snowing and it's so cold, don't you know?"
Si Guangyao had a long snot hanging from his nose. He looked at his mother and cried, "Mom, I'm scared. That cripple beat me last time. He wants to kill me! I don't want him in our house. Drive him away!"
Si Laoer's wife had a headache, thinking that his wife might have guessed that the lame man had a lot of money and wanted to cheat it out of him, but she couldn't break off relations with them.
Although she and Si Lao Er seem to be in charge of the Si family, the eldest brother and his wife did not leave much savings, and they have squandered all of it in the past six months.
This year they couldn't even afford to buy some meat. If there wasn't some food left in the house by their eldest brother and sister-in-law, they would have starved long ago.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid! He's your cousin and brother-in-law, don't be rude."
Afraid that the people inside might hear, she added a few more words.
Si Guangyao stared at his mother in disbelief, thinking that his mother might have gone crazy.
Then he heard his mother whisper, "Be good and don't make trouble. I'll buy you some meat after they leave."
"really?"
"Really, but if you make them angry, you won't have meat to eat, understand?"
Si Guangyao covered his mouth and said weakly, "But I'm afraid."
"What are you afraid of? Your brother-in-law won't eat you! If you're really scared, just hide in the house. Do you want to freeze to death hiding here?"
Si Guangyao still didn't dare to go in. His mother was afraid that her husband would get angry if he was delayed for too long, so she had to drag him along, "Then come with me to find your brother."
Inside, Si Lao Er boiled some water and rummaged through the drawers to find some old tea, and made two cups for Si Cen and Gu Yao.
"Uncle, you don't have to accompany us. I want to take my husband back to his room to see him. Uncle, go and get busy."
Si Laoer thought it was bad, as Si Cen's former big room had long been occupied by his son. He wanted to stop them, but he saw Si Cen pushing Gu Yao to his eldest brother and sister-in-law's former room.
Originally, he and his wife wanted to move in, but...
Perhaps it was because he had done something wrong and was always afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Even a cruel man like Si Laoer also felt guilty and afraid sometimes, so he didn't have the courage to move in.
Gu Yao was pushed into a dusty room by Si Cen, and said the first sentence since entering Si's house, "Is the thing that my husband wants to take here?"
"This is the house where my...parents used to live." He answered the question irrelevantly, as if he was pushing Gu Yao to visit, but in fact he was observing as well.
He entered this world when the original owner fell into the river and drowned, so he had never lived in the Si family.
Although I have the memories of the cannon fodder's original owner in my mind, it is still different when I see it with my naked eyes.
We can try to find out if the original owner's parents have hidden anything in the room.
[Host, on the beam, under the blue brick under the bed, in the mezzanine of the cabinet...]
The system suddenly spoke and considerately marked the location for him.
Si Cen's eyes lit up.
But he didn't move.
Because he had already discovered that Si Lao Er was hiding outside, secretly watching them.
【What are these, cub? 】
【According to my scan, it should be gold, land deeds, and ginseng. 】
Wow go!
They are all valuable things.
The original owner's parents must have been wary of Si Lao Er, so they hid things like this.
But perhaps they did not expect that Si Lao Er would be so cruel and kill him directly, so they did not even have time to tell their only child.
After walking around the room, Si Cen pushed Gu Yao out with a normal expression.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken since he said that this was his parents' room, Gu Yao was worried that he might be sad. However, due to the occasion, he couldn't hold him in his arms to comfort him, so he didn't care that Si Lao Er was present and still held his hand.
He gently stroked the back of the young husband's hand with his thumb, as if to comfort him or express concern. He turned his head to look at the young husband with a frown, looking a little fierce, but his eyes were actually full of concern.
Si Cen was stunned for a moment, then bent down and smiled at him, "I'm fine."
Gu Yao uttered a sullen "hmm", but his brows did not relax.
Obviously, I don't know what this guy is thinking. He probably thinks he is forcing a smile.
Si Cen had no choice but to decide to make a quick decision and go home quickly to comfort Tu Tu with the good news that they were going to get rich again.
So he looked at Si Lao Er with a sharper look, and said to him, "Second Uncle, I have something to ask you when I come back this time."
For some reason, Si Laoer just felt a little unwell.
"Brother Man, feel free to ask whatever you want to say. Uncle Er will tell you what he knows."
Si Cen curled his lips, "When my parents got into trouble, I was in a daze and didn't understand anything, so I didn't ask them clearly what happened to them. The murderer was later caught, and who was responsible for these things."
As he finished speaking, he glanced at Si Lao Er and saw the vigilance in him that he had not had time to conceal.
In fact, Si Lao Er is not that smart. He just took advantage of his eldest brother's lack of vigilance against him and because he himself is a vicious person, he has been able to achieve the current situation.
Poor original owner and his parents and their family of three, they suffered such a miserable end because of this shameless, vicious and stupid guy.
That’s not all, this is also a rebirth story, so their misery is repeated twice. The second time, the original owner was killed tragically in a cold river by the son of the murderer who killed his parents.
No wonder he struggled to awaken and defected as cannon fodder.
