Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 722
Li Xin had heard Mrs. Liu complain a long time ago that her uncle was thinking about the big rock her grandma left for her father at home. Because of this big rock, her parents had happened several times. It was because her father raised the boulder as a bodhisattva, and the second was because her uncle was watching from behind.

The stone on the alcove is still lying quietly on the bottom of the bonsai pottery. There is an incense burner in front of it. Three sticks of incense are burning in the incense burner. It does not disturb anyone by standing there quietly. I used to feel uncomfortable, but now I look upside down. I also feel used to it.

Li Houzhong and Li Houbo walked into the hall, and Li Houbo asked Li Houzhong: "I saw a few carriages parked outside the door, who is coming from your family?"

Li Houzhong replied: "Miss Xin brought the children back to relax and play."

Without even thinking about it, Li Houbo said harshly: "Could it be that you are angry with my uncle?" He felt that his tone was wrong when he said the words, and immediately said righteously: "Although our family is not as good as his Guan family's current foundation, But that's not easy to bully! No matter how many people we have, if girl Xin suffers any grievances, let her just come to my uncle, her cousins ​​are not vegetarians!"

Li Xin curled her lips secretly, thinking it was funny.Her uncle was still a paper tiger for ten years, and he spoke harshly, but in fact he didn't weigh a few catties or a tael.I'm afraid that because she really got angry with Guan Wen and came back to find her family, her uncle would have no time to hide from her.

The Liu family has never liked to talk to Li Houbo, and the grievances between the two have long been forged. At the beginning, Li Houzhong was treated unequally in the Li family. Li Houbo, the eldest brother, never protected his younger brother, and even tried every means to occupy his younger brother. Later, when the family was separated, Li Houzhong’s gambling money was held back by the casino. Liu begged Li Houbo to borrow money to save Li Houzhong. Later, when the daughter came back, Li Houbo pushed Li Houzhong to use nanmu wood as a coffin after the old lady died. Li Houzhong refused. Being taught well completely ignited Liu's anger.

Over the years, Mrs. Liu has never really called Li Houbo "big brother". Seeing that he is Li Houzhong's brother, she is not in trouble after all, and she will call him when there is something to do during the holidays.But in the past two or three years, Li Houbo has been making up his mind about the big rock, and came to the house every now and then to ask Li Houzhong if he wanted the stone back, and Liu felt annoyed.

"Brother, you said that if you want a stone, you want a stone? This was given to your second brother by the old lady before she died. Didn't you and the third brother take the rest? Why do you still feel dissatisfied?" Liu said Contemptuously, he looked sideways at Li Houbo: "Brother, you have come to my house enough for this matter, we have said that we will not borrow, why are you still like this?"

Li Houbo has a thick skin, and immediately laughed: "Second brother and sister are right... Eldest brother either wants to take it, or borrow it, and take it home to repair the house and change the family's fortune. In the future, I will definitely pay you back."

Mrs. Liu curled her lips and smiled: "The stone was left to us by the old lady, and it is our private property. For example, let me ask your second brother if you can borrow the bed, the table, the stool, the cabinet and the box at home. Take it home and ask for it, brother, will you give it? Besides, if you take the stone away, it will definitely consume our good luck, so let me ask you, I borrowed a pretense from you A salt shaker with salt, when I run out of salt in the salt shaker, I will return the empty jar to you, brother, do you mind?"

The corners of Li Houbo's lips twitched, knowing that every sentence Liu said was against him, he was very displeased.But now that he is asking for someone, he was kicked out by the younger siblings when he had a high profile in the past, and now he must not put on a high profile...

"Second brother and sister, your family is in full swing right now, so what does it matter if you share some of the good fortune with elder brother? Why are the second siblings so stingy? Don't talk about the far ones, just say the ones who are close. The girl came back to her mother's house after being bullied, if my uncle is tough, I can support her, right?"

Li Xindang even smiled: "Uncle, I didn't say that I went back to my mother's house because I was angry with the head of the family. Didn't my father tell you that I came back to take the children to have fun? You say that, it seems that you can't wait I'm just as angry as my head."

Li Houbo smiled shyly: "It's good to be angry, then... niece and daughter, can you help uncle persuade your parents? Uncle Shishi will take it, and you will benefit too, right?"

The so-called "benefit" is obviously implying that Li Xin, if there is a conflict with Guan Wen, he, Mr. Li, has the foundation and can support her as a backer.

Li Xin smiled lightly.

Mrs. Liu said bluntly: "Okay, okay, I said brother, you talk like this every time, are you tired? We won't let you move this stone back to your house, so you will die. If so I was thinking about persuading your second brother to give you the stone, so why not think about how to make a living and earn money, can the money be thrown on your head just because you moved the stone?"

Li Houzhong also continued: "That's right, big brother, earning money by working hard is better than anything else."

After all, it is just that he refuses to give him the stone!

Li Houbo was very angry, he just sat down on the chair and pretended to be kind, and said: "I will borrow it for a year, and I will pay you back after the New Year's Eve."

Mrs. Liu laughed: "That's a nice word. If you don't pay it back, we'll have nothing to do. Is it possible that you will come to the door every day to ask you if you want it, or come back and snatch it?"

Once, Li Houbo was so run on by the Liu family that he couldn't help it, so he rushed towards the altar and planned to hug the stone and leave, but he didn't know that he was old and had no strength, so he didn't move.

Li Houbo also felt embarrassed when he thought of that, but it was a little difficult for him to say that the second brother and his wife did not let go.

The scene suddenly became dull, Li Houbo sat silently, his face gloomy.Mrs. Liu was also sitting, waiting for Li Houbo to get up and go out by himself, so as not to be an eyesore in front of her.

After a while, Li Houbo said: "This stone... I have a use for it. This year's Gem Fair, the county attaches great importance to it. Tong Wazi told me that everyone went to the Dagui River to fish for stones. I want to find a stone that symbolizes auspiciousness and send it up, hoping to make a fortune all of a sudden. Tongwazi also went to the river to fish for stones these days. I just thought, this stone will bring you good luck, there must be it If you take this stone and say that it can bring good luck, maybe you will send this stone to Beijing? When the reward comes down, it will definitely be far better than the current situation."

Li Xin was surprised—even her uncle was thinking about the Gem Club?

Liu curled her lips and said: "According to what you said, if there is such a good opportunity, we are so stupid to give you the stone? Why don't we just send it up by ourselves, and you don't want a share of the pie."

Li Houbo suddenly became anxious: "Second brother and sister, what you said is wrong! This is the way I thought of, and if you want to send stones, I should give them. Besides, you can't figure out the way to send stones, don't At that time, I will be cheated by someone, and the stone will become someone else's!"

"If you send the stone, you will be the one who cheated us. Wouldn't the stone belong to you?" Mrs. Liu said bluntly, "Don't say what you have or don't have. This stone, I will give it to you." Let it be offered here, what gems will turn stones, what does it have to do with me."

Li Houbo was trembling with anger, slapped the table and cursed: "Women have long hair but short knowledge!"

"I didn't see how long your hair is short." Mrs. Liu snorted, "If you want to come and scold people, I will kick you out."

Li Houzhong pulled Li Houbo out, Li Xin heard that her father told Li Houbo to calm down, but Li Houzhong's position on the stone matter was still firm-resolutely not to give it away.

It's not that he thinks it's important to share some good luck with his elder brother, he just thinks that this stone is the only thought left to him by Li Yueshi, and if he really gives it to his elder brother, he won't have any thoughts .Li Yue's spiritual seat was enshrined in the Li family's old house, but he didn't have one here, so he could only rely on offering this stone as an offering to Li Yue's.

Li Xin watched her father and uncle go out, but in a blink of an eye she saw Mrs. Liu walking around the side of the stone, looking left, right, up and down.Li Xin asked curiously, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"Hey, let me see what's so special about this stone."

"Isn't it just a stone?"

"What do you understand? Did you hear what your uncle said just now?" Mrs. Liu said happily, "It's really so important to have this stone. Let's send it to the Gem Society. I really sent it to Beijing to win the favor of the superiors." ..."

"Mother also has this kind of sweet dream about the pie in the sky." Li Xin laughed.

Mrs. Liu was immersed in beautiful fantasies, when she heard Li Xin's teasing words, she patted her and said, "Don't say that mother is greedy for money, mother really doesn't expect much about rewards. Mother just thought, It really caught the eyes of the people above, and it was also for your brother to get through the relationship. Isn't he going to be an official in the future? It is easy to handle things if you have connections and connections. This is the way of the world, and you have to consider everything..."

While talking, Mrs. Liu tossed the stone over and over again, and asked Li Xin to help if she couldn't turn it over.

Li Xin thought it was funny, but still cooperated with her mother's movements, and said: "This stone has been placed here for several years. Doesn't dad offer incense every day? You can see that a flower has come from nothing, and there is still Something special, just a big rock..."

Mrs. Liu glared at her: "Bah, bah, crow's mouth, I haven't looked at your mother carefully yet."

After Li Houzhong finally sent Li Houbo away, when he came back and saw the mother and daughter making trouble on the altar, the alarm immediately rang: "What are you doing!"

"Second Li, you came just in time, quickly put this stone on the table and let's take a closer look!"

With a yell, Liu moved away and directed Li Houzhong to move the stone.

"Why move it? Well done..."

"If you're told to move, you can move!" Liu said with eyes widened, "Why so much nonsense!"

Li Houzhong thought that the stone was still at home anyway, and it would be fine to move it to the table, so he nodded and wanted to worship three times on the altar, before he stretched out his hand to move the stone to the edge, and called a long-term worker to come in and help move it to the table.

Liu began to observe the stone in all directions.
