Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 76 Nature

Hao shi squatted there and cried for a while, seeing that she not only refused to compromise, but also fell asleep with great heart.

Somewhat unpleasantly, he stopped crying and got up from the ground.

He glanced at the person who had fallen asleep very complicatedly, stretched out his hand to open the door, and walked out.

When the door slammed again, Li Kongzhu opened his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.

This group of people really can't stand it.

I can't sleep until the end of the day.

When she got up and went out of the house, she saw Li Jingzhe standing under the eaves very aggrieved, looking at her with tears in her eyes.

Li Kongzhu knew that he was feeling uncomfortable, so he patted his little shoulder and said, "Do you believe it or not, Eldest Sister?"

"Second sister said that you asked mother to sell me to you as a slave!" When the sound was ringing, mother let him run to find brother Li Cai, who was abacus in the village middle school, and asked him to come over for dinner, and then called the second aunt and the others. Let them also come to eat at home at night.

He was still puzzled, but the second sister said in a nonchalant manner, "I can't run any longer, I'm going to be a slave for others, and it's time to practice my legs."

When he heard it, he was very uncomfortable and asked her what she meant.

Li Meilan gave him a pitiful look and said: "Li Kongzhu is a poisonous person, but if you lend her a few taels of silver, it's because your mother sold you to her. From tomorrow onwards, you will be part of her family." , to be a slave to others."

Hearing this, he couldn't tell how sad he was.

It was unbelievable, and I wanted to ask clearly on the spot, but I was afraid of waking up my eldest sister.He could only stand aggrieved under the eaves, waiting for her to wake up with the cold wind blowing, and blocked her at the door.

Li Kongzhu looked at him bluffing, "When did I say I would buy you as a slave?"

"Second sister said that even brother Li Cai is coming, what is it if it's not a contract of sale?"

Seeing that he couldn't hold back his tears, Li Kongzhu quickly wiped them off, "I just asked you to come and live with me for ten years and live with me for ten years. You don't want to No?"

"What's the difference between that and prostitution!" He raised his head and burst into tears.

After all, it is an eight-year-old child, and many of them still don't quite understand.

I just feel that if I borrow your money, you will take me away. Indeed, looking at it this way, it's almost like selling.

Sighing, he pulled him closer, and while wiping his snot, he said, "Of course there is a difference. You will live with me for ten years, and I will let you eat and drink there during the ten years. There are new clothes, and let you learn to read and write. Tell me, which one of these can be made by a slave?"

The half-grown boy who didn't stop crying after listening to the delicious food, drink and new clothes, shut up decisively after hearing that he was asked to read and study.

"Really~" He looked at her sobbing, still distrustful.

"Really!" She nodded heavily, and stretched out her little thumb, "If you don't believe me, let's pull the hook, you see that the eldest sister has not lied, if she has lied, she will change in the future, uh, how about a turtle bastard?"

This time he really believed it.

It's all ticked, believe it or not.

Seeing this, he quickly stretched out his little finger, "If you pull the hook, pull the hook. If you tell a lie, but you said it, you will become a turtle!"

Li Kongzhu smiled and nodded, "I said it!"

After pulling the hook, the kid didn't become very happy.

Li Kongzhu thought for a while and said, "How about allowing you to go home once every seven days?"

Seeing him staring at him with bright eyes, he knew what was on his mind.

No matter what happens to Hao Shi, she is also his own mother, and there is no child who does not look for a mother.

Patted his little head, "Are you willing to go to this meeting?"

"Yeah!" He nodded heavily.Then he said to her very courteously: "Eldest sister, I'll go and dry the kang for you!"

"Go!"

Seeing him running away, Li Kongzhu stretched indecently while there was no one around.

No, at the corner where the eaves are next to the side yard, Li Meilan had already heard the conversation between the two clearly.

This meeting twisted a pretty little face, angrily twisted the handkerchief and cursed in a low voice, "Bitch."

Dare to restrain them deliberately!
Li Kongzhu took advantage of the time to search around, but couldn't find Zhao Junyi.After asking Li Jingzhe, I learned that he had finished carrying water and went up the mountain to help pull firewood.

"They say they don't have to go, but they can't stop them. Sigh, there's firewood in storage for the New Year's Eve, so there's no need for him to pull it!" Hao's son-in-law who also took this ice face, was overly enthusiastic no way.

I wanted to say that he should rest as a cripple, but I was afraid of hurting my eldest daughter's heart.After saying this, he walked towards the back kitchen and prepared to make a noise to eat.

Li Kongzhu raised his eyebrows, thinking that he is such a diligent person.This is because I don't want to stay here and go for a walk up the mountain.At that time, he found a good excuse and didn't say that he would bring her with him.

Very helpless, he went back to the east room, and lay down on the kang for a while with nothing to do.

When it was almost time for the formal meal, Zhao Junyi stepped back.

At that time, the people who asked Li Jingzhe to look for them also came one after another.

Except for the abacus Li who is an outsider, this Zhu Ziniang, Mrs. Quanfu who put on Li Kongzhu's make-up at the beginning, is the second aunt of the original body, and now only a couple come here.

Just about to enter the courtyard, Zhu Ziniang greeted Li Kongzhu very affectionately.

Li Kongzhu stepped forward to give her a junior gift.

She groaned several times, pulled her up and down to look her up and down several times, then patted her hand and said: "I heard from your mother that you have changed a lot, and now it seems that it is true. Now you can see Have a good time? Have you listened to my aunt and let this day get better and better!"

"Yes!" Li Kongzhu continued her words with a smile, "Thanks to Second Aunt's suggestion. My elm brain finally opened up."

"It's good to be enlightened!" Zhuzi Niang patted her hand, ready to go to the main house.

Not wanting Li Kongzhu to turn to the man next to her again, Li Erlin called out respectfully, "Second Uncle!"

"En!" Li Erlin looked down on her a little bit, and was a little unhappy when he saw the old woman's enthusiasm, and he just nodded sullenly when he heard her call.

Zhao Junyi, who had just returned, also came over to greet the two elders.

Zhu Ziniang saw that he was not very talkative, so she just slapped her mouth twice with a dry smile.

Li Erlin planned to save his elder's face, but he didn't want to be glanced at by him, so his heart felt a little chilly.

With a cough, he bluffed his face and shouted at the women: "Hurry up and go in, what kind of people are blocking the door!"

Li Kongzhu laughed secretly.Hao Shi over there has already beckoned them to enter the house quickly.

Seeing this, Li Kongzhu deliberately lagged behind a few steps, walking side by side with his man.

Seeing that his face was still full of frost, he gave him a thumbs up.

Seeing the man squinting at him, he winked at him for a while, "Master, you have such a frosty face, you really tremble when you look at it. Ghosts can walk backwards when they look at it, it's amazing!"

"Oh!" The man said coldly, obviously still angry at her unintentional loss at noon.

The flattering smile came forward and tugged at his sleeve, "For the sake of my sincerity, please forgive me once? If you forgive me, I will love you even more, okay? "

As she spoke, she made a heart shape for him with her hands, and then added a pop sound, indicating that she fell into his heart.

The man was stunned for a moment.

The woman raised her eyebrows proudly.

The people walking up to the eaves saw that they hadn't followed, so they called out to the courtyard gate, "What are you two doing, hurry up and get in the house!"

"Hey, here we come!"

Li Kongzhu raised his voice and replied, turning his eyes to wink at the man, "Master, please!"

Seeing her like this, the man's annoyance disappeared immediately, but his expression remained calm, and he walked towards the main house with a still cold face.

Li Kongzhu pouted behind him, "I really like playing cool!"

Quickly followed to the main house.

At that time, Mrs. Hao had arranged for them to sit around the table on the kang.

Li Meilan seemed to be a different person, pouring tea and water for several people attentively.The sweet-talking brothers, uncles and aunts shouted so affectionately.

Her lively spirit made Li Kongzhu look at her with admiration.I thought I wouldn't know how to be a human being, but now it seems that I am just right that I don't know how to be a human being.

When Zhao Junyi came in, he naturally sat down at the man's table.

Li Jingzhe over there brought out the small jar of wine, just as Li Diaozhu was about to reach out to pick it up, Li Meilan snatched it.

After serving the three men sitting one by one, he greeted sweetly, "Brother-in-law, help me greet Second Uncle and Brother Li Cai! I'll go to the back kitchen to see if the food can be served."

Zhu Ziniang sitting on the next table looked at it, smiled and boasted, "Lan Er, girl, whoever marries will be blessed in the future, don't talk about this sweet mouth, just say that her hands are sharp." There are not many girls in the village who can do housework like that!"

"Second Aunt~" Li Meilan stomped her feet shyly.Buyi yelled, blushing and quickly rushed towards the back kitchen.

This action made Zhu Ziniang burst out laughing.

Seeing that Li Kongzhu was still standing on the side, he hurriedly beckoned her to sit down.

"Come here, come and sit down! It is said that today is the time for your family reunion, so we called us here."

Li Kongzhu sat below her and glanced at Li Cai who was above her.

He smiled and said: "Brother Li Cai wants to come, I wonder if he brought a pen and paper instead?"

"Of course I brought it!" Li Cai sipped the spicy wine in his wine glass, "What kind of contract did you say you want to write, I don't know what kind of contract your family wants to write when it's Chinese New Year?"

Li Kongzhu smiled and turned his eyes to look at Zhao Junyi, "Head of the family, there is one matter that I haven't asked for your consent."

"What's the matter?"

"It's about the second sister's dowry. Mother intentionally borrowed 20 taels of silver from me as the second sister's dowry..."

"Suck~" before she could continue talking.The Zhuzi Niang next to her gasped in fright.

20 taels of silver dowry?Which high school is it impossible to marry?What's more, 20 taels is not a small sum, can they afford it?

After Zhu Ziniang was surprised, she began to look at Li Kongzhu and Zhao Junyi seriously, and saw that there was nothing good about the two people's clothes.The wrinkled padded jacket Zhao Junyi wore was not even as expensive as the one worn by the man in charge of her family.

Can these 20 taels be borrowed?

"What's the matter?" Zhu Ziniang tugged at her.

Li Erlin and Li Cai, who were at the top, also trembled in their hearts after hearing this. 20 taels is not a small amount, it is enough for a farmer to live for more than ten years.

Zhao Junyi also turned his head to look at her, as if he was asking questions, not as if he was playing along with her.

At this time, Li Meilan, who came out with the dishes, had a bad face when she heard it.

Fearing that Li Diaozhu would take the opportunity to ruin her reputation, he quickly put the first two cold dishes on the small kang with a smile.

At the end, when he turned his head to serve the lady's table, he lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "I heard that a matchmaker came to propose a marriage, and it seems to be Ren Xiucai's family in Renjia Village. I don't know what the eldest sister said Borrowing silver, could it be related to this?"

As she spoke, she cast her eyes towards Li Kongzhu, the meaning was obvious.Let her be more sensible and stop talking nonsense, otherwise it will be very interesting.

Li Kongzhu frowned on one side, and said with a half-smile, "Yes, I heard that the other party asked this side to prepare a dowry of 30 taels, and then there will be a dowry of 30 taels for the engagement. Although I have some I don't quite agree, and I can't lend so much money, but who made me the daughter of this family!"

Heaving a sigh, he pulled on Zhuziniang's sleeve, "Although I opened a small shop with someone, I know how to do so well. After a few years, I have nothing to do with you. I am the owner of the shop. You are not stupid, can you give me a whole year's profit? Now, I am worried about how to get out of this money!"

When Zhuziniang heard this, she was quite startled.

I also heard that Li Kongzhu made candied gourd and hawthorn cakes in Zhaojia Village, but I didn't expect it, and now I have opened a shop with someone.

Seeing that she was pulling her sleeves and sighing, she quickly smiled and persuaded: "There is a way of saying that bitterness comes first, and then sweetness. If Lan'er said that this marriage is a good thing, then Ren Jiacun I have also heard of Ren Xiucai, who has two students in one school and has a lot of land. Maybe one day, when there is a wave of green smoke, he will become an official, and you will also get rich? This is Good thing, good thing!"

Li Kongzhu pursed his lips and smiled without answering.

If it is really a good thing, people will force you to take 30 taels of dowry?Obviously, this has not yet passed the door, and people first came to show off.

But for some people who insist on sharpening their heads to drill in, she has no ability to stop it. If you stop it, people will say that you have evil intentions and deliberately sabotage.

Li Meilan over there heard this and felt that the time had come.

Seeing that Hao Shi also came out with dishes, he was going to serve them both.

He hurriedly pretended to be curious and asked, "Mother! Did you come to Brother Li Cai to write an IOU for Eldest Sister?"

Hao Shi, who was serving dishes on the Kang table, was a little confused.When I met my little daughter's eyes, I saw her keep winking.

He was very puzzled and said: "Brother Li Cai was called to write about Jing Zhe selling himself to your elder sister!"

"Crack!" Li Erlin, who was at the top, immediately sank after hearing this.

Hao Shi here was taken aback, and he didn't know what he said wrong.

Seeing his uncle's face darkened, he asked in a timid voice, "What's wrong with his second uncle?" Could it be that the service is not in place?
"What's the matter?" Li Erlin looked at her with a heavy face, raised his hand and pointed at her nose and shouted: "Are you addicted to prostitution? What kind of family is like you, borrowing money and reselling others?" What's more, it was sold to your own daughter?
Hao Shi was stunned by his drink.

The next moment he put the serving tray on the kang, covered his face and began to cry, "I don't have it, I don't have it! I don't want to either!"

"Mother~" Seeing this, Li Meilan quickly put down the tray, and ran forward to hold her own mother's shoulder.

"What's the matter, let's make it clear, second uncle, my mother is not that kind of person. There must be some difficulties!" Li Meilan's eyes were also red, and she turned to look at Li Kongzhu and asked: "Sister, what do you think?" Is it such a reason? Mom wants to sell Jingzhe to you, there must be something for it!"

As soon as she reminded her, Li Erlin immediately turned his gun and asked Li Diaozhu, "Your surname is Li, and you were born in this family. Now that you are here, you have some ideas and spare money, so you learned from the grandma and lady in that big family." Is it possible? Are you still excited to buy slaves? Even if you buy slaves, you should buy them farther away. This is good, and you bought your own family. What is your heart? You are thinking about revenge and not letting Are you married well, or are you complaining that you were sold?"

He asked questions sentence by sentence, without waiting for Li Kongzhu to answer.At the end, he pointed at her and yelled very impolitely, "Let me tell you, it's not up to you to intervene in the command of the old Li's family. What are you? Isn't it just borrowing money? My mother's family has something to do. You just want to buy people as slaves in such an inhuman way for some money? Is your conscience eaten by dogs? Believe it or not, even if you are married now, I can still beat you!"

After all, he slapped his palm on the table in a really violent manner.Seeing that staring posture, he was about to pounce on Li Kongzhu and really beat him up.

Li Cai, who was an outsider, was quite embarrassed when he heard it, and felt that he had encountered something that should not be touched.This is obviously a family scandal, and I don't know if they will fight after a while.

In that case, how inappropriate would it be for him to watch here as an outsider?
Hao shi covered her face and cried as she listened, and finally understood the meaning of her little daughter's wink just now.

"I don't want to, I don't want to~ Lan'er's relatives can't be dirty, my youngest son is also my heart, I have to rely on when I get old, how can I be so cruel~ woo~"

Could it be that Li Kongzhu, the eldest daughter, forced her to be so hard-hearted?
Everyone looked at the calm and composed woman sitting next to her.

It's really shameless to be so cheeky after seeing her for so long.

Li Kongzhu sneered endlessly in his heart, but raised his eyebrows calmly on his face.

Seeing her like this, Zhu Ziniang who was sitting next to her pulled her sleeve with a bad face, "Diabolo, Auntie has something to say. If you say it, you don't like it, so don't go there." Take it to heart, don't be jealous of Auntie."

"Auntie, tell me!" Li Kongzhu turned his eyes to meet her, and smiled back at her.

Zhu Ziniang was stunned when she saw her smiling amicably.

Just as he was about to speak, Li Erlin, who was in the lead, got angry again, "What can we talk about with such a bastard? Today, I'll stop talking here. If you really dare to force Jing Zhe to sell himself I will be your slave, be careful that I will chop you off the first time. Jingzhe is the only seedling of the boss, do you really want the Li family to lose all the incense? Don’t you dare to say it! You dare to say it, you see How will I deal with you?"

"Hehehe~~" Li Kongzhu couldn't help laughing out loud, and the more he laughed, the louder he became.

The people in the room couldn't understand the laughter, and Li Erlin shouted out of embarrassment, "What are you laughing at?"

"What am I laughing at?" Li Kongzhu coughed and tried his best to stop laughing, and looked at her two mothers and daughters over there, one of them covering his face and crying, the other looking at her with 'sorrow'.

"Mom! What do you think I'm laughing at?"

Hao Shi trembled inadvertently, and Li Meilan gritted her teeth secretly when she felt it.With tears on his face, he cried: "Sister, what do you mean? You forced your mother like this, do you really feel better?"

Ah!
Li Kongzhu said oops twice, then sighed again, "I can take out three taels of silver at most now, even if I have to borrow half of the three taels of silver, mother, have you ever thought about where the rest will come from?" ?”

Zhu Ziniang was taken aback, wasn't she?
Staring at her, "Are you going to use Jingzhe to collect money?"

As soon as she heard the meaning of selling Jing Zhe, Hao Shi immediately released the palm covering her face, "You didn't tell me that you were going to sell Jing Zhe! What do you mean by that? Didn't you mean to make a letter to let Jing Zhe use it for you?" year?"

Li Diaozhu looked at Li Meilan, who was already blushing, with a half-smile, lightly parted her bright red lips, and pretended to be surprised: "That's right, I didn't say anything, but how did you get the money?"

"You want to be lazy?!" Li Meilan held the hand on Hao's shoulder, and started to grab it from Fubian. The long fingertips inadvertently sank deep into her own mother's shoulder, causing Hao to frowned involuntarily. I frowned.

Li Kongzhu raised his eyebrows to look at her, "I'm not being lazy. If Jingzhe has been used by me for ten years, I will have a way to raise the 20 taels of silver."

"How are you going to raise money? What are you going to do with Jing Zhe!" Li Erlin stared at her, "I tell you, it is impossible for Jing Zhe to become a slave with you."

"If you don't want to be a slave, then don't be a slave!" Li Kongzhu shrugged, "Isn't there still a way to borrow money! I'll pay three or two, and each relative's family will borrow some more. If it really doesn't work, the family can sell one It's not like you can't make up for half an acre of land!"

There are many methods, but how can it be reduced to the point of prostitution?

Hao Shi over there became a little dissatisfied when she heard that she asked to go to various houses to borrow money and sell her land.

"Didn't you agree first? Why did you turn your ears back!"

Li Kongzhu smiled, but it wasn't her who snarled.

"Mother, there are seven acres of land at home, and one acre of fertile land costs ten taels of silver. Sell an acre and a half, plus what you have saved and borrowed, and you will get it! Why bother to exchange it with Jingzhe! You know, Jingzhe is here! I may not be able to live well here, I am still 17 miles away, and I have to borrow it!"

If you can't borrow it, of course you have to sell your son. Now that you have reached this point, are you still willing to sell your son?
After hearing this, Hao Shi looked at her with a blushing face and muttered, "Jing Zhe said that it is for your use, so you have to bring 20 taels of silver. Otherwise, otherwise..."

She didn't do it for a long time, and she couldn't figure out a way to restrain her.She lowered her head and pretended to be pitiful, as if she was hoping that others would sympathize with her.

Little did they know, the dialogue between Li Kongzhu and her made everyone completely understand her true face.

Isn't this an obvious sell?It's not that I don't have the ability to buy the 30 taels of dowry and make friends.

Didn't the man Li Kongzhu say that a girl wants to sell her? He can come up with three or two ounces, don't need to sign anything, let the seller sell some land, and borrow some money.

I didn't think about it, I still don't want to, it seems that I insisted on pushing my son there.

If Li Kongzhu couldn't borrow 20 taels and sold Jingzhe to collect money, wouldn't that make Li Kongzhu a scapegoat and be scolded by others?
It's really a poisonous thought.

The way Zhuziniang looked at Hao Shi changed a bit.

Although this sister-in-law was a little weak in the past, she never thought that she was still such a person. I am afraid that few people can compare with her in this way of thinking.

Li Erlin, who was at the head, also changed his face, and looked at Hao Shi with a more stern look, "Sister-in-law, if you really dare to startle, the Li family probably won't be able to tolerate you staying here!"

Hao Shika's face turned pale, and his whole body suddenly seemed to lose all strength, and he fell backwards for a while.

Fortunately, Li Meilan quickly supported her, and shouted anxiously at her twice, "Mother, mother~ are you okay!"

Hao shook her head, "It's not like this, it's not like this..." Something seemed wrong, she didn't want to sell Jing Zhe, nor did she want to sell the land, it was clearly agreed at the beginning, why did she change her mind?

Thinking of this, she stared at Li Kongzhu with startled eyes, "Diabolo is not like this, didn't you say to give 20 taels of silver? Didn't you agree?"

"Yeah! It's done, why don't I repeat what I said at that time?" Li Diaozhu was not afraid at all, and deliberately repeated it, just to see how Li Meilan would react.

Her slanderous words are shameless wherever they are put.If it gets out, let alone a scholar's family, even an ordinary farmer's family would not want such a poisonous person.

Li Meilan's expression changed, and she shot at her with vicious eyes.

Hao Shi obviously thought about it too, and immediately waved his hand, "No, no need!"

Seeing her like this, the people sitting here were all wondering what else might be going on here, maybe it was Li Kongzhu who was really being persecuted here.

Zhu Ziniang was the first to understand, and when she saw Li Kongzhu's smile still friendly, she couldn't help reaching out to shake her delicate hand with distress, "It's hard for you."

Li Kongzhu shook his head.

Li Erlin over there patted the table again, "Don't eat this meal either, and none of you are going to fight Jing Zhe's idea. After a while, I will invite the elders of Li's parents to come out and discuss a regulation, so that Jing Zhe can see it is right." Let's put it in someone's house for temporary care!" In such a house, big things will happen sooner or later.

Hao's face had already lost all color, and with trembling purple lips, he looked at Li Erlin and cried, "His second uncle, you, you are trying to force me to death!"

Li Erlin looked at her impatiently, and snorted, "With a mother like you, I'm really humiliated."

Li Meilan was also a little panicked at this time, if Li Erlin really wanted to do this, I'm afraid their family would be in the village in the future, so they wouldn't be able to raise their heads again.

Thinking of this, she quickly looked at Li Kongzhu.

Li Kongzhu accepted her half begging and half threatening eyes, and then looked at Hao Shi who was completely paralyzed on her body.

I also feel that the blow is almost the same.

Then he got up slowly and bowed to Li Erlin, "Second uncle, can you slow down for a while?"

"What?" Although Li Erlin said that he would stop scolding her now, he still didn't like her in his heart.

Li Diaozhu was not afraid of his indifference, just smiled and said: "I want to take Jingzhe to Zhaojia Village, and live with us for a few years temporarily!"

"What demon moth do you want to catch?" Li Erlin saw that she was still planning to startle her, his eyebrows twitched immediately, and his anger rose again.

"Second Uncle, don't worry, just listen to me speak slowly! Jingzhe!" Li Kongzhu moved his head back to the corner of the room at some point, silently looking at Jingzhe and calling out.

Li Jingzhe was so sad and flustered right now, when he heard that they wanted to sell him, it felt like a needle was pricking his heart.

Didn't the eldest sister tell him to live with her?Didn't it mean to let him eat well, dress well and read books?Didn't it mean that he could be allowed to go home once every seven days?
Why are you selling him?Why can't he understand.Which one is telling the truth? Is he going to sell him?

Just when he was still struggling, he suddenly heard the call of the elder sister.

Looking around, he saw that she was standing by the table, waving at him, with a warm smile on her face, which made him burst into tears like a fountain, and kept gushing out.

"Sister~~" he called her hoarsely.

Li Kongzhu sighed inwardly, fearing that he might have left a bad impression on this kid.

"What did you call him for?" Li Erlin couldn't help frowning and asked when she saw that she didn't explain and was still called Jing Zhe.

"The head of the family!" Zhu Ziniang gave him another look, telling him to calm down, don't get angry first, didn't you see Jing Zhe's baby crying?
Li Erlin, who was glanced at by his mother-in-law, couldn't make a sound anymore.Sitting there with a wrinkled face, I thought to myself, let's take a look, and see what tricks there are!

"Jing Zhe, come, come to Eldest Sister!" Li Diaozhu maintained a warm smile and waved at the crying child.

Li Jingzhe was sobbing so much that she couldn't control herself.Seeing her waving, he ran over quickly, threw himself into her arms and cried bitterly.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Awakening!" Hao Shi, who had regained his composure, saw his son crying bitterly in his eldest daughter's arms, for some reason, he felt a little flustered in his heart.

Calling him in a panic, he ordered to him: "Come here, mother, what are you doing? Don't stain your eldest sister's clothes. Come here quickly, mother will not sell you! Come here quickly!"

Li Jingzhe shook his head, subconsciously, he still believed in the eldest sister.Because the eldest sister will stroke his head now, gently say don't cry, don't cry, and wipe his tears.

Mother has never done this, even if it hurts him, she has never done it.

Seeing her son shaking his head, Hao's heart was in pain as if it was torn, and he cried with red and swollen eyes: "Are you annoying me? Ah~ Jingzhe, I am your mother~~"

Li Jingzhe looked up, while Li Diaozhu was wiping his tears, seeing his mother crying sadly, he hesitated again.Just as he was about to take a step, he heard the eldest sister say in his ear: "Jing Zhe, you will tell the brothers, aunts and uncles who are sitting here about the matter of ticking off with the eldest sister. Why did we make an agreement, what do you say?" Say it!"

"Isn't elder sister lying to me?" Li Jingzhe asked her uncertainly when she raised her eyes.

"I won't lie to you!" Li Kongzhu smiled, stroked his bun and said, "I forgot to lie to you, what are you going to do?"

Yes!Li Jingzhe nodded, if the eldest sister tried to lie to him, she would turn into a tortoise.

Thinking of this, he immediately stopped crying, and said to the people sitting here: "Eldest sister said to let me go to live with her, she will let me eat and drink well, change seasons and have new clothes to wear, and let me go to school to learn how to read." Studying, you can go home once every seven days!"

Wazi's words still had a little vibrato, but it didn't prevent the sitting listeners from listening clearly.

After everyone finished listening, they all looked at Li Kongzhu in unison.Anyone can say it's good to eat and drink, and they can also hide it.But going to school to read and read is something that can be seen for real, and if you go home once in seven days, you can tell at a glance whether you are doing well. How dare she do this?
Li Diaozhu patted Li Jingzhe to calm him down, and everyone looked at her in shock.

I couldn't help laughing, "Jing Zhe is my younger brother, who cares if I don't love him? He is the only seedling of Lao Li's family, even if I have no money, I won't take him for sale. Don't worry about this, Second Uncle Already!"

Li Erlin coughed, "Then there's no need to sign a prostitution contract!"

"I didn't say I wanted to buy Jing Zhe, so where did you get the contract of sale?"

"Why didn't you say it? You asked my mother to find someone who could read and write to make a written statement." Li Meilan heard that there was a turning point in the incident, and quickly answered this sentence.

Hao Shi was also relieved, and when she heard that she was not trying to sell Jingzhe, and things turned around, she nodded quickly, "You asked me to find someone who can read and write to make a written statement, and you also said to find a few more relatives. acquaintances to testify."

Li Diaozhu was amused, "There are many kinds of certificates, how could it become a deed of sale?" After a pause, "The certificate I want to make is that my mother took 20 taels from me, and Jing Zhe will have to live with me for ten years! In the future, if there are still borrowings, just add years to it. Jing Zhe is still Jing Zhe, still the son of the Li family, but he just lives in a different place, not with his mother."

Zhuzi Niang heard it, this is a disguised restraint.I'm afraid that this girl took out 20 taels, and if Hao Shi is not satisfied in the future, she may come to ask for silver again.

Using Jingzhe to block it, more or less made her feel a little more scruples.Otherwise, when her son grows up, she will also be old, so how can she live on?

Thinking of this, Zhu Ziniang quickly gave her man a wink.

Li Erlin also sensed the smell, and pondered, "You really let Jing Zhe learn Chinese characters?"

"Of course." Li Kongzhu smiled and said: "I have opened a small shop with someone now. Although I can't be rich and powerful, I can still reach the average family background. I can still succeed if I study for Jingzhe for a few years. If in the future If he is really this kind of material, no matter how hard I try, I will confess him, so that I can make a fortune for my Li family."

After hearing this, Li Erlin couldn't help but tremble a few times.One must know that being able to read and write is already very good. If Jing Zhe is really capable, then their Li family...

Thinking of this, Li Erlin quickly cleared his throat, "If that's the case, it's okay!"

Li Diaozhu nodded, turned his eyes to look at Hao Shi and Li Meilan, "Does mother think it will work? Or let Jing Zhe stay at home?"

Of course she hoped that Jing Zhe would stay at home, but if she stayed at home, the youngest daughter's dowry would be gone.

I felt my little daughter pinching her shoulders for instructions.She nodded with red eyes, "Do as you say! Mother has no skills, she can't make Jing Zhe study!" Then she raised her hand and cried, wiping away her tears.

Everyone is a little contemptuous.

Especially Zhu Ziniang, I can't get used to it. This is deliberately pretending to be weak and sympathetic, but she is also a person who hides a traitor inside!

The discussion is settled, and the farce is almost over.

Li Diaozhu asked the embarrassed Li Cai to write the evidence.

It also stated that Jingzhe would be responsible for going to school on her behalf, and she also stated that after the fifteenth day, she would bring the money.

At that time, one hand will be handed over to the person and the other hand will be handed over to the money, and the two parties will have to be lazy.

The written word is used as proof, in duplicate, witnessed by everyone, and only after the fingerprints are pressed, it will be considered officially effective.

After writing the paperwork, the farce came to an end, and the few people who were supposed to eat the food and wine only took a few mouthfuls in a hurry.

When Li Kongzhu sent someone out on behalf of Hao Shi, Zhu Ziniang held her hand, patted her for a long time, and said before leaving, "I'm sorry for you!"

Li Kongzhu pursed his lips and said with a smile: "It's not bitter, from now on, I will only worry about what I have to worry about!"

Zhu Ziniang nodded, someone like Hao Shi is not worthy of pity.

"Let her go!"

The crowd dispersed, and the courtyard became deserted.

Li Kongzhu stood in the yard, looked at the man who had never spoken, and asked him, "Is this play good?"

"Fair!" The man nodded.

The woman smiled coquettishly, stepped forward and deliberately scratched his chest. Seeing him squinting his eyes, she smiled brightly, "If I was really beaten by my second uncle at that time, would you have rescued me?"

Pouting his mouth, acting cute, blinking his eyes and scratching his chest with his hands.

But she didn't want to, when her hand was in the air, she was grabbed by a man, and approached with lowered eyes, making her heart beat like a drum.

"Guess?" She hooked her lips with an evil smile, making the woman's teeth itch with anger.

Just about to refute, Li Jingzhe under the eaves hugged the quilt and called them in a puzzled way, "Sister, brother-in-law, what are you two doing standing there? It's not cold! I'll give you two quilts to carry away." It's gone!"

"Hey!"

Li Kongzhu called back with a smile, and when he turned his eyes, he smiled at the man with a deep meaning. "Master, I'm going to wash up first, and remember to go back to bed early!"

Seeing her back running away, Zhao Junyi's heart trembled for no reason, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.

On the other hand, after Li Kongzhu quickly went to the back kitchen to finish washing, he ignored Li Meilan's hot and sarcastic face, and quickly returned to the room before the original body.

At this moment, the house began to warm up because of the kang that had been baked for a long time.Stepping to the edge of the kang, looking at the only quilt on the kang, Li Diaozhu rubbed his chin proudly, and smiled wretchedly.

While laughing, he slowly took off his shoes and got on the kang, and slowly spread the small mattress on the kang, making it very carefully bit by bit, like serving his mother, connecting the sides One of the horns did not come out, and the wooden hairpin on the head was removed, and it was forced to be picked out.
