After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

Li Jishan was at a loss for words for a while, but he quickly came to his senses and pointed at Yingbao: "Since you have recovered from your illness and are not going to the scientific examination, why did you bring these people home?"

Ying Bao didn't wait for Li Xu's answer, and said arrogantly: "Because he owes me medical expenses and consultation fee! Of course I will come here to ask for it!"

Li Xu nodded: "Nephew indeed owes the young doctor's consultation fee and medicine money, and now he is unable to repay it."

When everyone was in an uproar, all their eyes turned to Li Jishan, the village official.

Everyone in the village knew that Li Xu's [-]-acre non-endowment land quota was hung up by Li Jishan's family for three years.

And in the past three years, Li Jishan didn't seem to express anything to this eldest nephew.

Not only did she not express it, but Li Jishan's wife often said outside that if she had known that she would not have separated the family back then, her family would have been spared a corvee.

When Li Jishan heard this, his complexion changed unpredictably. He paused for a while, and said with pain: "Let me just trust you once, and I will pay for the medical expenses!"

Yingbao: "Okay, there are 50 taels of silver in total, and I'll leave as soon as I get it."

"What, what?" Li Jishan was dumbfounded: "50 taels? Why is the medicine so expensive?"

Yingbao: "The medicine is not precious, can it bring your nephew back from the gate of hell?"

"You... talking nonsense! I won't believe it!" Embarrassed and annoyed, Li Jishan turned around and walked away.

Before leaving, he said: "Li Xu, I have to go back first, and you can go to my house to talk about it later."

Li Xu looked at the back of his uncle leaving, and sighed secretly.

During the time I was lying in the inn, I suddenly wanted to understand many things.

Relying on others is worse than relying on oneself, any clan relatives are just floating clouds.

Just like my own uncle, enjoying the benefits I have given, while secretly wishing for my own bad luck.

The uncle's youngest son once got drunk and pointed at Li Xu and said, "A poor man like you will never be able to turn himself over for the rest of his life. Do you think that you are a great talent if you pass the exam? Then you will be able to show off your power in front of us? Tell you! Dream!"

Li Xu was terrified at the time, and didn't understand why his cousin would say that about him. Seeing that he looked drunk again, he thought he was just drunk and insane, talking nonsense.

Now that I think about it, the eleven or twelve-year-old cousin who was able to say these words at the celebration banquet of his middle school students must have heard his parents behind his back.

Li Xu lost his father since he was a child, and he and his mother depended on each other for life. In the first few years, they couldn't even eat dumplings during the New Year's Eve.

In order for him to go to school, his mother sold the land at home and worked day and night at embroidery.

Obviously, my uncle's family lives next door, but my family has never received any help from them.

After he became a student, although his uncle was more polite to him, he often belittled him in front of outsiders, saying that he was stupid since he was a child, and that he passed the exam because the county magistrate saw him as an orphan and deliberately let him go.

But the uncle didn't know that the college examination was actually held in Fucheng, and the supervisor was not the county magistrate, but a school official.

"Xiao Langzhong, I made you laugh."

Li Xu bowed his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly asked: "Can Xiaosheng really go to your hometown to teach students to pay off debts?"

"Yes, my father is the village official. Our village has a ready-made school, but we can't find a suitable teacher for a while."

"Okay! I'll go!" Li Xu made up his mind, but suddenly asked hesitantly, "Young doctor, can Xiaosheng bring his mother along?"

Yingbao: "Of course, the school in our village is very big, with several rooms and a large yard, which is bigger than this one. When the original master left, there were still several hens left behind. If you go, Those hens belong to you, and the eggs they lay belong to you.”

While fooling around, she peeked at Li Xu.

It would be great if I could kidnap a scholar and go back to be a private school teacher.

Because a scholar has exam experience, it is better for him to teach children than those children who can only enlighten children.

"Thank you, little doctor." Li Xu bowed deeply to Yingbao, "We will set off tomorrow."

Ying Bao frowned with a smile, and couldn't help nodding: "Okay, let's set off tomorrow."

At first, I was worried that my mother would meet someone with malicious intentions on the way, but now it's all right, it must be much safer to be accompanied by a scholar on the road.

However, that afternoon, when Li Xu was applying for household registration for his mother, he was stopped by his uncle.

Li Jishan angrily scolded his nephew: "Your mother is a widow, how can you take her around?"

Li Xu said coldly: "My mother has been filial piety for my father for 13 years, even if she remarries now, no one else has the right to interfere."

"You!" Li Jishan slapped the table angrily: "I am the head of the Li family, so I can't let you mess around."

Li Xu raised his eyes and looked at his uncle: "Since you said so, uncle, please lend 50 taels of silver to my nephew, and my nephew will return the medical money to the little genius doctor, and then send them away. My nephew doesn't have to follow me to earn money to pay off the debt. After my nephew wins the election, I will return the money to my uncle."

"Can you win the exam?" Li Jishan sneered: "You can win the exam just because of you? Don't be wishful thinking! I won't waste money on you!"

Li Xu grinned and laughed at himself: "Since my uncle refuses to borrow money, my nephew can only go out to earn money to pay off the debt, but after I leave, my mother is blind and has nowhere to go, so my nephew must take her with me."

Li Jishan's mouth squirmed a few times, but he didn't make another sound.

Seeing this, Li Zheng hurriedly wrote a reason for his trip, and took Li Xu to the nearest post booth to have his seal stamped, so that he could send it to the county government for filing.

Although it is much more convenient for good people to travel nowadays, and it is not as rigorous as before, but the procedures that should be followed have to be gone through again, so as to avoid being caught in other places.

Li Xu took this household registration certificate, thanked Li Zheng, and then returned home.

Early the next morning, the ox cart hired by Li Xu arrived, and everyone hurriedly moved their things into the cart.

Li Xu helped his mother into the cart and sat down, then turned around and locked the door, closed the gate of the bamboo fence courtyard, and then got into the ox cart.

The ox cart traveled for several hours, and finally arrived at Mingjiang Wharf before dark.

This place is a bustling market town, even though it was already dark, there are still many shops open for business.

Li Xu first found an inn, and after setting up everyone, he went to the pier alone to inquire about ships passing through Qinchuan County.

In the end, he found out that a merchant ship was going to dock at the pier in Qinchuan County.

Li Xu was overjoyed, and he was even more excited when he found out that the ship could carry passengers.

But the owner of the ship said that their merchant ship will leave at Yinshi tomorrow, so the guests must board the ship before Yinshi, and they will not wait when it is late.

Li Xu hurriedly promised to get on the boat ahead of time, and then excitedly ran back to tell A Niang and Aunt Jiang.

Chunniang was very happy, and took her daughter's hand to promise that she would get up early tomorrow.

Finally able to return home safely, Chunniang heaved a sigh of relief.

The anxiety and worries these days were finally relieved, and Chunniang couldn't help crying.

Ying Bao patted A Niang and said: "Mother, when we get home, I will send a letter to Dai Wang, then Xiao Chengjun not only deliberately abandoned us, but also took away the gold and cloth given by the emperor. If one thing is missing, I will never give up!"

More than 100 taels of gold is not a small amount, and there are dozens of bolts of silk.

Even though Xiao Chengjun is the son of a family, but he has no property, no worship, only a little salary, and occasional rewards, so much money at once is enough for him to drink a pot.
