The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 603 Revealing the true face of the Li family
The head of the village has been worried after knowing Ling Xiao's intentions. Even though Ling Xiao said that he has no responsibility, he knows that most of the time, he just listens to the nobleman's words. If he is serious, he will suffer. He tried to figure out how to escape this catastrophe, but he didn't find anything that could impress the nobleman.

This discovery made him feel a chill down his back, what should he do?I was afraid that this nobleman would harm his family, which was why he was breaking out in a cold sweat, because he felt fear because he knew something was wrong, and after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to do whatever Ling Xiao asked him to do.

There is another thing, although it seems that this cultivator looks upright, his attitude is not cold or hard.But judging from Luo Da's respectful attitude, he is not someone to be provoked. It is better for him as a small village chief to separate from the Song family being sold.

Thinking that Li Shitou's family was able to settle in this village had something to do with his own family, cold sweat broke out on Li Chang's forehead again.He secretly complained: Dad, you left a big hornet's nest for your son.

Although he now firmly insists that the Li family in the village has nothing to do with Li Shitou's family, he knows in his heart that their family is indeed related to Li Shitou's family.

This matter needs to be discussed from the beginning. Li Shitou's family lived in another place, and later moved here. The reason why they can live in Lijia Village is because Li Shitou's father is a good person, and he once rescued the head of the village. My dear father several times.

Later, because of the grace of saving their lives, the two of them became acquainted, and their relationship was quite good.It happened that the old man Li had a falling out with the family because of something, so he took his son Li Shitou to settle down in Lijia Village and severed ties with the former family.

At that time, Li Shitou’s own father was the head of the family. He was a person who was very good at getting along with others. It can be regarded as accepting the Li family.

You must know that most people in their village are surnamed Li, so the people in the village are more xenophobic, and several people with other surnames are also related to the people in the village.If it weren't for the old man Li, Li Shitou's family would not have been accepted so quickly, and they even had a family relationship, and they were considered relatives.

It is a pity that the capable old man Li died relatively early. He passed away not long after his son and daughter-in-law got married. He specially arranged the funeral for the daughter-in-law hired by his son Li Shitou. Because of being tired from the funeral, less than a year after giving birth to her son Li Han, she also abandoned him and died.

Li Shitou, who lost his wife, found a woman to marry not long after his wife died, saying that he wanted to take care of his son and give birth to his second son. Although Li Shitou looked like his own father, his temper was not casual My dear father, he has a submissive personality and no masculinity.

Old man Li naturally knew his son's problems, so he married a smart and capable daughter-in-law for his son. He wanted his daughter-in-law to take good care of his son, but what he never expected was that this daughter-in-law didn't live long and died early.

Before he died, he knew that his daughter-in-law was pregnant, and he was very happy because there was a successor in the Li family. The reason why he said that was because he knew that his son was not qualified, and he didn't have that ability at all, and he couldn't even study.

He once told the village chief's father that he pinned his greater hopes on his grandson, and thought that one day if his offspring become prosperous, he would have the opportunity to return to his hometown, and let those low-minded guys know their loss what.

It's just that after he went out once, before his grandson was born, he fell seriously ill, and he was unwilling to spend money on medical treatment. Before he died, he didn't know what he felt, so he asked the village chief's father to take care of his unborn child. child.The chief's father naturally agreed to his request.

After Li Shitou remarried, he came to the head of the village and said that his eldest son was too young. If he knew that the current mother was not his real mother, he would feel uncomfortable emotionally. So he asked everyone not to tell his son when he was young. Mother died.

At first, the old man was unwilling. This completely erased the existence of the child's mother. How can this work?That daughter-in-law is really good, and it was decided by the old brother while he was alive, and she is also the original match.

Li Shitou's father was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law at the beginning, thinking that having a good mother is a good foundation for the child. Even if the daughter-in-law is not beautiful, she is very capable, so he hired him back instead of choosing the one his son likes. that woman.

The Li Chang's father also agreed after knowing the old brother's plan, but he also knew that the old brother's painstaking efforts might be in vain, because Li Shitou's next wife was the woman he had wanted to marry.

Li Shitou begged bitterly, saying that it was good for the eldest son, otherwise he would be the only one who was not born by his current mother, and he would be disappointed, which is not good for the children.After thinking about it, the old man also felt that it made some sense. He always wanted to let Li Han study hard, don't think too much, then if Li Han always feels that he is not a family, it will indeed be very bad.

After thinking about it for a while, he temporarily promised not to tell the truth about it, and wait until Li Han grows up. After all, when he grows up, he will eventually know something.In addition, he also said that Li Han should be allowed to study. You must know that the old man Li also put a special sum of money to put with the elder's father, so that he can help take care of his grandchildren.

Li Shitou swore after hearing this, saying that he would wait for his eldest son to grow up before explaining to him clearly. The village head's father finally agreed, but he still asked Li Shitou to remember his words, and also recognized his eldest son Li Han as a To be a grandson is to ensure that the child can live a good life.

He has always been thinking about the kindness of the old man Li, and paid more attention to Li Han. Later, he was very pleasantly surprised when he found that Li Han was very talented in reading, so he insisted on letting Li Han study all the time. A pair that promotes success.

After his father cared about Li Han very much, Li Chang was not quite right. He was a little jealous that Li Han was favored by his father. He felt that his father treated Li Han better than his own family, and his son was not as important as Li Han in his heart. It caused him to dislike Li Han from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, he didn't try to plot against Li Han, and the character of the head of the village is not that bad. Anyway, Li Han is regarded as someone his father valued, and he is still younger than him. I am happy to hear about him, and I can't wait to keep a distance from Li Shitou's family.

But what can he say about his father's eccentric behavior?You can't say anything, or you might be accused of a white-eyed wolf. His own father was rescued by old man Li many times. If there was no old man Li, his family would be doomed. Relationship with Li Shitou's family.

Because of the presence of the head of the village and his father, Li Han's early life was not bad, and he still had the opportunity to go to school. After studying, he got the master's preference, and married the master's daughter as his wife. He lived as a farmer's son. It was a good day, until things changed after the elders, including Li Chang's own father, passed away.

Li Shitou's family has long been unhappy. After discovering that Li Han has no parents-in-law, and without the protection of the village chief's father, they began to plot against Li Han. When they thought that he was going to study alone, the others were very angry and thought about it. To revenge Li Han.

In fact, Li Shitou's family completely forgot one thing. Others were also sent to study. They all wanted to sleep after reading a book, and they still had the face to complain that they were not allowed to study?
As a result, Li Han had a mental breakdown and died in his own home. The head of the village didn't want to help Li Han because he had some tricks in his heart, but chose to stand on the sidelines.But now he regrets doing this very much. He clearly knows that he has misunderstood Li Han, but he can't bear to admit his mistake. He is a little afraid that Ling Xiao will settle accounts with him.

Ling Xiao could naturally see his hesitation. As a parent, the head of the village felt a little disgusted in his heart that his father always defended his grandson, and thought that his father used his own money to support Li Han's education, but he ignored his grandson. In the depths, I have always been jealous of Li Han, and felt that my father valued him too much.This was a normal reaction, but he didn't do anything bad to add insult to injury.

The head of the village felt his heart pounding when he recalled this, and the cold sweat stayed down again. In fact, he didn't know until before his father died that the money originally given to Li Han was left by Li Han's grandfather specially in the hands of the head of the village and his father. They have nothing to do with the family.

After knowing the news, he was embarrassed to talk to Li Han again, and he was not willing to hear about Li Han, because seeing Li Han would make him feel how ignorant he was, and he was not happy to hear their news.

Ling Xiao naturally knew what he was thinking. Sometimes people would have three reactions when they owed others: some people would try to make up for the previous debt after knowing it; When you see each other, you are out of sight and out of mind; there are also some people who will intensify the persecution of those who are owed. It is best to let those people disappear, so that no one will know what they have done.

Seeing that the chief didn't intend to do evil, she said lightly: "Speaking of which, although Li Han is not from your clan, if he can be admitted as a scholar, do you think people in your village will Is it shiny?"

Hearing this, the chief felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He hadn't noticed this problem before. In fact, his father had said that he hoped that people in the village would come out with a scholar, but he always thought that his father Donating money to help Li Han, I don't want to think about this possibility at all.

It was at this moment that Li Chang finally understood what his father did. All along, the people in the village did not have the talent for reading. Later, he found out that the only hope was Li Han, so he tried his best to help.

At this time Luo Da said, "If your village can really produce a scholar, then in case something happens, Mr. Xiucai can go to our county magistrate to talk about the situation, instead of not seeing the magistrate at all."

Hearing this, the head of the village fully understood his father's painstaking efforts. It's a pity that the people in the village didn't think of this after the old man left. Even he himself seemed to be blinded by lard, and he didn't support Li Han at all. .

If he had known it would be like this, he would never be so stupid as to ignore everything.Li Han is his father's godson, so he has something to do with his family, hey!The Li Chang longed to go back to the past and wake himself up.

Ling Xiao naturally knew that there were many reasons for Li Han's death, the most important being the ruthlessness of Li Shitou's family, the ideas of outsiders were only a small part of it, and the ideas of the head of the village belonged to the kind of normal people's ideas, and he was not happy with others People take advantage of their own family, and there are some problems, but the problems are not serious.

Naturally, Ling Xiao didn't think about how to deal with the chief. You must know that the chief will be needed to tear up the Li family later. Besides, the chief who is sober may be very annoyed at his inaction for the rest of his life. This is also unhappy for him. Days, can be regarded as retribution.

This is also the reason why Ling Xiao didn't plan to deal with Li Han at all. He is an ordinary person, and it is enough to feel bad after knowing that he has done a bad job. In fact, he has never done anything to hurt Li Han.

As for Li Han's family, Ling Xiao didn't intend to retaliate too much, it wasn't worth getting his hands dirty for them, because without Ling Xiao's revenge, their family would suffer retribution.

If the Song family is exposed this time, Li Shitou's family's reputation will not be much, and they will not be able to live a good life at all, and they will completely lose the Song family who laid the golden eggs, thinking that after selling the Song family, they can live a lifetime good day, dreaming.

We must know that someone in the Li family is addicted to gambling, and the degree of gambling is second only to DU products. Gamblers can find ways to cut off gambling channels and force them to quit gambling. If you want to gamble, it's no wonder you can have a good life.

This is what Ling Xiao saw. Why did the Song family earn a lot of money before, but those Li family members who didn't know it kept saying that they didn't have enough money? Despise Li Han's family, it's just acting good when they get cheap.

Ling Xiao glanced at the village chief who was regretting, and the rest of the village chief's family who understood also regretted it. Most of them didn't dare to come out, but hid aside and listened, but they also understood now, what a pity!If I had known earlier, I would have given Li Han another wife.

Pretending not to notice the regrets of Li Han's family, she went on to say: "Li Han has been studying hard all these years, but his family has been holding back, saying that in order to support Li Han's education, he exhausted his family property, saying so every day , Li Han always felt in his heart that he spent too much on studying and felt very guilty towards his family.

Every time he wants to go to the exam room, he is very nervous, and his heart feels like a heavy stone. In addition, some people don’t want him to pass the exam, so he has accidents before the exam again and again, and after the last accident, my grandniece’s hand To get broken bones.

Those short-sighted guys saw that there was nothing to gain, so they insisted on breaking up the family. The news finally crushed Li Han. He vomited blood, and finally left the world with a lot of regret and anger.

Li Chang, do you know?Some people in Li Shitou's family didn't want him to develop. Some people stared at him before and dared not do anything. After the only person who had a better view of the big picture died, no one would protect him anymore. Someone finally made a move. "

And the chief almost vomited blood when he heard this, because he could naturally hear what the other party said. The chief said that his father had some perspectives on the big picture, didn't he mean that he didn't have a big picture?
And he found the problem when he thought about it: he didn't like Li Han very much all the time, not only because his father favored him the most, but also because someone kept saying in his ear: Who would like a man who basically doesn't work in the fields? Villagers, why is he special?Feeling unhappy just thinking about it.

But looking back now, I know that it was his father's idea that Li Han mainly studied at the beginning. You must know that they are peasant children, and they are inferior to those in the academy in terms of books and knowledge. The only thing they can do is hard work.

Of course his father is unwilling to let Li Han go to work in the field, even if he wants to go to the field, there is no chance. It is not that Li Han wants to be lazy, but because he wants to study. Li Han will be required to work in the fields.

And now he recalled some things, and he realized that he seemed to be a lot stupid before. He still remembered that Li Han's brothers had been whispering in his sons' ears all these years, saying that Li Han and his wife were wrong. .

The head of the village finally understood: Li Shitou's family is tantamount to suing in front of everyone, and the other Li family members also look at each other in blank dismay, because they have more or less heard what the Li family said.

I still remember that they would say that their family members were too tired, but Li Han and his wife didn’t have to do anything. After a long time, people in the village were not very satisfied with Li Han and his wife. Do some country work.

Ling Xiao sighed and said: "Don't think that Li Han seems to be relaxed when he studies every day. He must have put too much effort into studying. It is also a kind of suffering to fail the exam every time, and someone blames him behind his back. In the end, it feels like life is miserable.”
