    Zhao Shouzheng followed him into the room. Before he could speak, Zhao Hao handed four ingots, a total of twenty-two yuan, into his hands.

    Patting Zhao Hao on the shoulder happily, Zhao Shouzheng turned around silently and went out, placing four ingots of silver in front of his brother.

    Zhao Shouye was surprised at first, and then he returned the three ingots and said, "I only need five taels, and I still have some scattered silver with me, so I can get it together."

    Zhao Shouzheng shook his head, stuffed the money into his eldest brother, and said with emotion: "Money is the courage of a hero, how can you be a man if you are short of money? My eldest brother just keeps it, it's not enough"

    He looked at Zhao Hao in the room and did not dare to say anything further.

    Zhao Shouye was ashamed and restless. He wiped away his tears and stood up to say goodbye.

    Zhao Shouzheng couldn't hold them back, so he and his son sent the two of them to the bridge, waved and reluctantly said, "Big brother comes here often."

    Zhao Shouye waved his hand towards his brothers, with mixed feelings in his heart.

    Zhao Xian on the side murmured in a low voice: "How can you have the nerve to come again?"

    "Oh, let's go" Zhao Shouye was convinced and left dejectedly.

    ??~~

    Zhao Hao and his son stood at the bridge.

    Watching the two figures disappear into the night, Zhao Hao sighed: "I didn't expect uncle to be so depressed."

    "Yeah" Zhao Shouzheng felt sad for his brother for a while, and then said with lingering fear: "Oh, I didn't expect that this soft meal would be so unpalatable?"

    Zhao Haoshen agreed: "Oh, yes."

    The two of them couldn't help but wonder, if they could really have a double life back then, would they be twice as depressed as their uncle today?

    After sighing for a while, the father and son turned around and walked home.

    On the way, Zhao Hao asked curiously, why did Zhao Shouye¡¯s mother-in-law have such a big hatred against his grandfather?

    "Oh, that's a bad debt that can't be explained. Anyway, you just need to know that she brought it upon herself."

    Zhao Shouzheng did not want to mention the past, and simply told his son that the Qian family had played tricks on his eldest brother's marriage, causing the old man to suffer a big loss

    Zhao Hao just asked casually. Now that the family is divided and they don't see each other, naturally they can't talk about hating each other.

    Zhao Shouzheng was in a depressed mood, so he went home and fell asleep.  Zhao Hao packed up the dishes and cleaned the main room, then washed up and went to bed.

    Who would have thought that after lying down and tossing and turning, but not feeling sleepy, suddenly, I heard the sound of drums coming from the Bell and Drum Tower in the distance.

    Zhao Hao listened carefully when the drum sounded.

    "The first watch of the day is the first quarter of Xu. If Nanjing adds a quarter, it is the second quarter of Xu."  Zhao Hao silently calculated in his mind and suddenly realized: "It's only seven twenty-four, no wonder I can't sleep!"  "

    Today, he woke up at three o'clock in the morning. He was full and had nothing to do all day long. Of course he was not sleepy now.

    Usually, he either works all night without sleeping, or goes to bed before dark in order to save dinner. Zhao Hao has never realized how difficult this long night is.

    ¡®It seems like I have to find something to do to pass the time¡¯

    Zhao Hao was too lazy to light the wax, so he lay on the bed with his arms as pillow, staring at the dark roof with wide eyes, silently thinking about what to do next after having enough food and clothing.

    I don¡¯t know how long he had been thinking about it. He was just a little sleepy when he suddenly heard a soft click.

    In this silent night, that sound was particularly harsh.

    Zhao Hao suddenly lost all sleep. He lay there and pricked up his ears. He heard another creak and the door of the main room was pushed open.

    And in the east room, Zhao Shouzheng was snoring like thunder!

    ¡®There is a thief!  ¡¯

    Zhao Hao's hair stood on end immediately, and he reached out to touch the iron rod placed on the pillow This was the iron rod he had asked for from the blacksmith the day before for self-defense.

    Then Zhao Hao walked to the west door with his bare feet, carrying an iron rod, and looked into the main room through the door curtain.

    He had kept his eyes open before, and his eyes had already adapted to the darkness. He vaguely saw a dark figure rummaging through boxes and cabinets there Oh no, the father and son were so poor that they didn't even have a box, let alone a cupboard.

    Seeing the thief rummaging around for something, Zhao Hao's nervous blood almost stagnated.

    Not sure whether the thief was armed with a sharp knife, he didn't dare to shout, for fear that he would jump over the wall and be killed.

    Zhao Hao's only reliance now is that the other party doesn't know that he has been awakened.  Thinking of this, he clutched the iron rod tightly and hid behind the curtain without breathing, preparing to give him a blow on the head when the thief came in!

    But who could have imagined it? The thief didn't do what he wanted and went to the east room first.

    Zhao Hao suddenly panicked, and now he couldn't even make a sudden attack.?.

    Just when he was helpless and ready to shout loudly to wake up his father, he heard a sudden shout from the east room:

    "Brother! Slap her!"

    The thief was so frightened that he hung his hand on the door curtain and did not dare to stretch it out for a long time.

    After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and headed towards the west room.

    Zhao Hao first breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and then his heart was in his throat again.

    He gently wiped the sweat from his palms, gripped the iron rod tightly again, and raised it high above his head.  Then he held his breath and stared at the gap in the door curtain!

    The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and Zhao Hao's heartbeat is getting faster and faster.

    Finally, the door curtain was opened, and a head sneaked in.

    Zhao Hao took aim at the dark head and swung his arms down violently!

    Who would have expected that with a bang, the iron rod hit the door eaves.

    The thief was frightened, took a few steps back, and sat down on the ground.

    "Catch the thief!" Zhao Hao shouted with all his strength and swung his stick at the thief again.

    Zhao Shouzheng from the east room was also woken up. Hearing his son¡¯s cry, he shouted without thinking: ¡°Catch the thief, catch the thief quickly!¡±

    The shouts of the father and son instantly penetrated the roof and spread throughout the neighboring houses. Immediately, chickens crowing and dogs barked in a lively manner.

    The thief was so frightened that he crawled back and was hit on the back by Zhao Hao with a stick, which made him scream in pain

    "Ouch"

    Fortunately, Zhao Hao was still young and lacked strength. He was able to endure the pain and get up. He stumbled out of the door before Zhao Shouzheng blocked his way.

    Seeing the thief running away, Zhao Hao's legs softened and he sat on the ground.

    "Don't chase the poor thief." Zhao Shouzheng said to himself, then gave up chasing the thief and hurried over to take care of his son.

    "My son is not injured, is he?" Zhao Shouzheng went up and down, carefully checking his son's body.

    "I'm fine, I just lost strength." Zhao Hao wanted to stretch out his hands to support his knees, but found that even his arms were so sore that he couldn't lift them up.

    While the father and son were talking, they suddenly heard a scream coming from the street.

    Zhao Shouzheng ignored the inquiry and helped his son sit down on the bench, and fumbled to light the wax.

    When he saw clearly that Zhao Hao was fine, but his face was pale, he breathed a sigh of relief.

    Zhao Hao was just about to speak when he heard heavy footsteps outside.

    He followed the sound and saw a burly figure walking into the courtyard.

    Seeing that it was Gao Wu who came, the Zhao family's father and son finally settled down.  Zhao Hao looked at Gao Wu's naked upper body and taut muscles, and suddenly felt a sense of security.

    General Gao threw something in his hand to the ground with a bang.

    The father and son took a closer look and saw that it was the escaped thief.

    Gao Wu was organizing his speech along the way. Zhao Hao didn't wait too long before he pointed outside and muttered: "We were sleeping when we heard Mr. Zhao and Young Master shouting to catch the thief. As soon as we went out, we met this guy running out. Let's go out.  Give him a little comfort and he'll faint."

    "The tall and strong men are mighty!" Zhao Shouzheng gave a thumbs up and praised: "The strong men are here to guard the four directions!"
