Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 120
The meaning contained in Li Xin's words is very cryptic.

If she didn't take any credit for this matter, then the credit would be all on the Huixian county government's fast arresters.If the matter is reported, it will be more rewarding from above.Both in public and in private, it is a great thing for the government. It has practical rewards and a good reputation.

And why not for Li Xin?It doesn't make any sense for her to be greedy for this achievement, and it is more likely to get burned.And this not only sold her face to the government, showing that she is aware of current affairs, but also took herself out of this matter, so that those accomplices who make money will not accuse her of this.

Anyway, she has already received a reward of 100 taels of silver, so what else can she be dissatisfied with?
Lu Butou laughed loudly and said, "Little sister-in-law is really a cheerful person!"

"Then I hope Butou Lu and the brothers below will say something." Seeing what he said, Li Xin knew that he agreed. Axiu helped him up and gave a salute to Butou Lu, then asked and went out. The place, go out towards the side door of the yamen.

Lu Butou said to the steward of Shen's residence: "That little sister-in-law is really a sensible person."

"The person my wife praises is naturally not bad." The steward of Shen's residence clasped his fists: "I will explain this to my wife, it's my sister-in-law's own wish. Catcher Lu, let's get together next time!"

Lu Butou also clasped his fists and said, "Let's get together again!"

The steward of Shen's residence quickly followed Li Xin, and said to her gently: "Little sister-in-law, please rest well tonight, I will go back first."

"Please trouble the steward and come with me this way."

"Don't bother." The steward of Shen's residence said with a smile: "Then sister-in-law, go slowly, goodbye."

The steward of Shen's residence walked in a hurry, probably in a hurry to go back and report back. Li Xin wanted to give some money to him as a courtesy, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

When I returned to Zhao's house, it was already ugly time. Mrs. Guan was waiting anxiously at the entrance of the alley when she heard the voice and came out to pick up people. She saw Li Xin being supported by her sister and her eldest son holding something in his arms. Sneaky, the second son was pushing the cart, and suddenly he felt excited, and hurried over to ask: "Why did you come back so late? What happened?"

Li Xin shook his head, "Gu, I want to go in, but my chest hurts badly."

Mrs. Guan stepped aside quickly, and Li Xin entered the house of the Zhao family brothers. She planned to sleep here with Mrs. Guan and A-mei tonight.

"Auntie, is there medicinal wine at home?"

While asking, Li Xin asked Amei to fasten the door, lit the oil lamp and took off her upper body clothes.

Mrs. Guan hurriedly said: "Yes, it's on the cabinet, sister go get it." Then she leaned closer to Li Xin, followed her line of sight, gently opened Li Xin's bellyband, and was immediately shocked.

"What's wrong with this chest? It's all blue!"

Li Xin let out a "sigh" and said helplessly, "I met a stalker, and I was kicked when I was saving someone."

"Slap Hanako!"

Guan exclaimed again, A-mei poured medicinal wine for Li Xin to rub, but shrank her hand in embarrassment.Mrs. Guan quickly picked it up, rubbed it in her palm to warm it up for Li Xin, and asked Li Xin, "What's the matter? Didn't you go to the temple fair to do business..."

"It's business, and something went wrong."

Li Xin hissed in pain, but felt much better than before, so he comforted Guan and asked A-Mei, "Why did you and your eldest cousin come here? Didn't you tell me to stay there?"

Amei's eyes were slightly red: "I, I'm afraid... Besides, the paper bags are all sold out, and there is no paper bag to hold, so I asked my cousin to push the cart to find sister-in-law..."

Li Xin sighed, Guan was curious, and urged Li Xin to tell what was going on.

Li Xin talked about what happened at night, and Guan's hands became light and heavy at times, and Li Xin had to hold back in pain.

After finally finishing everything, Guan scolded her: "I'm doing business well and meddling in other people's business. What if I get paid for it too! It's fine now, but I was kicked in the chest. What if..." At this point, I can't go on anymore, and Mrs. Guan knows that if someone finds out...

He scolded her again: "What if the official messenger doesn't come? You really want to fight against her alone!"

Li Xin sighed, knowing that Guan Shi was just worried about her.Guan Wensu said that the people of the Guan family are kind, so Li Xin sighed lowly: "I just thought about how sad the family would be if the child was kidnapped, and his future fate..."

Guan thought of it all at once.Li Xin was also deceived and abducted, so he was hurt by the scene.

Then he also sighed, and his voice softened a little: "But you can't be so brave." While covering her with clothes: "It's okay, just rub it with medicinal wine for two more days, and the bruises will disappear."

Li Xin said, "Thank you, Gu."

"Thank you for what I did." Guan patted her hand: "It's good to rest, it's finally all right."

Li Xin hadn't told Mrs. Guan about going to the yamen later, so she hurriedly stopped Mrs. Guan and said, "Gu, tell my cousins ​​to come in, there's still something I haven't finished talking about today."

Mrs. Guan then called her son into the house, Zhao Changhui was still holding the bag of silver, Zhao Changsheng laughed happily - when he was leaving, a policeman talked to him and praised him as a man!

Seeing Li Xin, Zhao Changhui hurriedly put the big bag of money beside her, and finally calmed down with a restless look, patted his chest and said, "Big cousin, you can count on losing this bag." Yes, I'm afraid of being robbed on the road..."

Li Xin smiled, unpacking the package, he couldn't believe it, 100 taels came just like that?When she was still a little worried about the road ahead?
Seeing the ingot of snow-white silver dangling in the light, Guan was also dumbfounded: "This, this is..."

Li Xin recounted what happened later, and then said, "Gu, this is the reward money from the government."

"One, 100 taels?"

Mrs. Guan opened her mouth slightly, and Li Xin said: "Yes, 100 taels." He sighed again: "God is kind, and gave us such a large sum of money when Ah Wen and I were almost desperate."

Only then did Guan regain his composure, and called Li Xin to say, "Then you should hurry up..."

"Gun, even though it's a big fortune, there must be an explanation." Li Xin smiled, and took out a piece of silver to Guan Shi: "At the time when Ah Wen was seriously injured, Gu extended a helping hand, and Ah Wen and I both remembered Ah Wen also said that when the family has money, the first person to pay it back is aunt."

Guan didn't push it, and accepted it with a sigh: "You have a heart."

Li Xin shook his head, took out another four ingots of silver, and said, "Cousin Changsheng, you take this money."

Zhao Changsheng was happy to think about the praise he got, but now he was called by Li Xin, and he was dumbfounded: "Give it, give it to me?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "If you hadn't been too big to squeeze through, you wouldn't have let me follow."

Zhao Changsheng just waved his hands and said, "It's not that I saved the young master. It's none of my business. The money rewarded by the government is also rewarded to my cousin, not mine..."

Only then did Li Xin realize what Guan Wen meant by his second cousin's simple and honest confession of death.

Reluctantly, Li Xin pushed the money to Mrs. Guan, and Mrs. Guan pushed it back in a hurry. Li Xin held down Mrs. Guan's hand and said, "Gu, cousin admits death, but you can't. This is what he deserves. It's just luck." It’s just not as good as mine.” Then he smiled, and then leaned into Guan’s ear and said, “Besides, my eldest cousin always spends money on getting married, and my uncle’s legs, so I don’t want to find another doctor to take a good look at it.” It’s just that it can’t be completely cured, it’s better to make uncle suffer a little less.”

Guan Shi hesitated for a while, and then put it away under Li Xin's stubborn attitude.

After the money matter was dealt with, Li Xin changed his serious face and said to Guan: "Gu, I can't talk about this matter with others today. I mentioned it to the government, so don't mention it." I'm afraid that my family will be affected, if the government doesn't mention my name, we can't mention it either."

Guan Shi hurriedly said: "This aunt knows, if you don't mention it, you must not mention it."

"Don't talk too much to uncle, so as not to worry him." Li Xin said again: "If asking uncle a doctor makes him suspicious, just say that cousin has done a good job in his respective position, won a reward or something, and let uncle How happy you can be."

Mrs. Guan nodded hurriedly: "Oh, I understand."

After a few more instructions, Guan sent the Zhao family brothers to sleep, and they all washed up and fell asleep.

Li Xin woke up early in the morning on the second day, and rushed back after having breakfast at Zhao's house.Because her chest was still hurting and she didn't have much strength, Guan asked her second son to take a day off to send Li Xin back.

When I got home, it was just after noon. Guan Wen was relieved when Li Xin came back, and hurried to pick up the cart in Zhao Changsheng's hand.Zhao Changsheng hurriedly avoided: "Big cousin, let's help cousin sister-in-law."

Guan Wen was taken aback for a moment, only then did he realize something was wrong.My daughter-in-law's face was pale, and Amei was supporting her. Seeing him looking over, she only smiled slightly, and her brows frowned again, as if she had touched something with the laugh.

Guan Wen hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Li Xin, supported her waist and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, let's talk when we go home."

Li Xin climbed on Guan Wen's body, and Amei called out to help Zhao Changsheng push the cart up.

Erhei jumped out of the cart, probably feeling a familiar atmosphere, and was having fun in the yard.

He helped Li Xin back to the bedroom, but Li Xin didn't want to eat, so he just asked Guan Wen to greet his second cousin for lunch, and then he lay down on the bed to rest.

After waking up and realizing that the sky had already darkened, Guan Wen sat next to her, saw her wake up and hurriedly asked, "Are you awake?"

"Hmm..." Li Xin sat up, Guan Wen hurriedly helped her up, and asked worriedly, "How is it? Are you feeling better?"

"Better."

"I'll give you a rub."

After speaking, Guan Wen went to close the door, poured medicinal wine and rubbed his palms to warm it up, while looking at Li Xin, he said, "Take off your clothes."

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and blushed suddenly: "You, what are you going to do!"

"I'll rub the silt away for you." Guan Wen sat over and saw that she hadn't taken off her clothes for so long, so he laughed and said, "Xin'er, I'm your husband, so there's nothing I can't see. Take off your clothes quickly. "

Li Xin was very ashamed, but what he said was the truth, and it was for her own good, it would be bad for her to be hypocritical.

After all, he took off his clothes awkwardly, and said with a pout: "Second cousin told you?"

"Yeah." Guan Wen stared straight at her snow-white chest, and Li Xin scratched her no matter how weak she was: "Don't look!"

"If you don't look at it, don't look at it." Guan Wen smiled, raised his face to face her face, staring at Li Xin blushing, and scolded him: "Don't stare at me!"

"Then where should I look?" Guan Wen laughed and said, "Those who can't look here and there can't look there, the whole person is mine, and I still can't see it."

Li Xin snorted, but he also felt that the weight of his hands was moderate, and the pain gradually transformed into a comfortable feeling with a kind of pain.

"Second cousin also told you about the government rewards?"

"I said it." Guan Wen replied: "He told everything, and told him not to mention it to others, so as not to cause trouble." At this point, Guan Wen complained to Li Xin: "There are so many people around, Why did you foolishly run to save people? What if something happens?"

Li Xin smiled, put his hands on his shoulders softly, and put his head on his neck, and said: "I didn't think about it that much at the time, I just thought that if the child was abducted, it would be miserable in the future."

Hearing a bit of embarrassment in her words, Guan Wen also thought of what happened to his daughter-in-law, so he couldn't help sighing, so he couldn't continue to blame her, so he just hugged her and said, "Fortunately, it's okay this time."

Li Xin said "hmm" in his nasal voice, and said again: "I paid back the money from my aunt's family, and I deserve the 20 taels given to my second cousin. Now I still have 75 taels on hand. The village head's 15 taels, I The 25 taels from your mother’s family, and the nearly seven or eight taels of silver that your fourth brother gave at that time, after paying back, there will be 27 taels of silver.”

Guan Wen said "Oh" and said: "The money is yours, you can use it as you like." After thinking for a while, he said: "It's just that we paid off all the debts suddenly, will others be suspicious?"

Li Xin nodded: "I've been thinking about this on the way back. It doesn't matter where my natal family is, it's mainly because your fourth brother's and the village chief's are not easy to talk about."

But he added: "But I don't like to owe people money, so I thought of a way."

"What can be done?"

"It's better to say that it's tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. It seems that the Chinese New Year is coming. If you don't have money, you can't have a good year. So I ask you that a friend who has a little money borrowed money, and first pay back the money owed. , One creditor is worse than several creditors. As for other people asking, just say your friend is generous, if you ask the name, you will be vague. "

After thinking about it, Guan Wen thought it was a good idea, so he nodded and agreed.

He hugged Li Xin and continued to rub her for a while, then withdrew his hands to cover his clothes: "You haven't eaten at noon, you must be hungry now. A-mei is cooking porridge for you and keeping it warm, I'll go Here it is for you."

Li Xin nodded, and after a while Guan Wen came over with porridge, followed by Amei, seeing Li Xin awake, his eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law, are you awake?"

"Yeah." Li Xin smiled, while enjoying Guan Wen serving her porridge, while listening to Amei chattering over there.

"...There are more than 400 yuan in total, one or two taels of silver..." A-mei's eyes sparkled, "It's all in my room, I'll bring it to my sister-in-law right now..."

Li Xin hurriedly said: "Just count one or two taels of silver and give it to me, and you will keep the rest yourself."

Amei paused, a little surprised, a little unbelievable: "Give me the rest?"

"Well, I'll do it for you, keep it safe." Li Xin smiled.
