The peasant lady of the pastoral space

Chapter 24

I didn't expect that such a thing as turning my face for money would also happen to me, which is hard to describe.

At this time, Li's father also complained more about the good brothers who grew up together.

Is this still a good brother?
Start counting for some money...

Li Xiang'e looked at Father Li.

"Father, why did you promise to only have 10 taels of silver? You won 50 taels of silver!! It should be ours so we can't afford it?!"

Although Li Xiang'e now has at least 4000 taels of silver on her body, she is not the master who is short of money, but no matter how much money she has, she doesn't mind it.

What's more, it was what they deserved.

On this point, Li Xiang'e was very insistent.

So she wanted to ask why.

It's useless to ask Li's mother, did Li's mother get up speechless without seeing Li's mother?

Father Li hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"It's like this. At that time, Mrs. Zhang also went to the city. After Xiong Xiazi sold it for 150 taels of silver, Mrs. Zhang began to cry and complain that their family was poor. It was rare to have a meal of meat for so long, and they couldn't get enough of coarse grains. They satirized our family. The smell of meat can be heard every once in a while, and the people in the family are raising fat and white..."

Father Li lowered his head, carefully glanced at Mother Li's face, and then continued.

"Later, she said that Xiong Xiazi finally sold it for a high price, and their family also needed the money urgently, because his precious grandson Xiao Xiangbei was sick and had to spend a lot of money going to the city to see a doctor, and because of this hunting Brother Zhang and Dadong both suffered a little injury, and I was the only one who was fine. I had to save some money to see a doctor for the treatment of her husband and son.

In short, rolling and spitting, all kinds of things come down, your father and I really can't stand that woman, Brother Zhang and the others have been silent all the time, and they didn't stop Mrs. Zhang from spitting there, so I... I had no choice but to agree, As long as 10 taels of silver will do. "

Li Xiang'e's mouth twitched after listening.

Look, look at Mrs. Zhang, it's good to have a thick skin!
He just scraped off 40 taels of silver from her father, what a talent! !

After listening to the cause and effect, Mother Li's expression eased.

After hearing the reason, Li's mother knew that Li's father didn't do it on purpose.

Hey, it's just that Zhang's woman is too powerful to fight, Father Li can't support it alone! !
And Brother Zhang, his father and son——

She usually looks good, but she is also a traitor hidden inside, and she lost her friendship with her husband all these years.

Iron friendship?
snort!
The tofu is almost the same, it will break when you touch it, and it turns out that it can't stand the slightest test...

If Li Xiang'e knew what Li's mother was thinking at this moment, and appointed her to persuade her, most of the normality in this world is that sharing hardships is easy and sharing joys and sorrows is difficult! !

Li Xiang'e also saw that Father Li must have been completely disappointed in Zhang's family after going through this incident and what happened last time.

fair enough.

My family's life is getting better and better, if they are exposed later, according to Li's father's disposition, they will not be able to take many good things over.

Which time these days is delicious, did Father Li not pass by?

I'm ashamed to say that I haven't touched meat for a long time, I guess it's too little! !

Or it's jealousy.

It's really unsatisfactory!

"Father, you don't want to go hunting with the Zhang family anymore, right? With your ability, you can harvest a lot from hunting by yourself, lest they think that we have been taking advantage of their family all this time."

Li Xiang'e felt that it was time to stop, so she persuaded Li's father.

Li's mother listened and nodded in agreement.

"That's right, that's right, what we Xiang'e said is absolutely right."

Father Li remained silent.

Thinking back on what happened these days, Mrs. Zhang's face, Brother Zhang's attitude...

Father Li couldn't help frowning and sighing.

"Forget it, let's take it for granted that this money will buy out the brotherhood between us. In the future, when we meet the Zhang family, we will just treat them as neighbors we know. There is no need to continue to have close friendships, and there is no need to have any close contacts. , It’s better to break it, so as not to cause more embarrassing things in the future.”

Li Xiang'e and Li's mother looked at each other, and both could see the joy in each other's eyes.

Mother Li was completely relieved now.

This relationship should be broken--

She insulted her precious daughter like that before, which almost damaged her daughter's reputation, and she also wanted to take advantage of her husband-in-law continuously, what a beautiful idea! !
It turned out that Li's mother had always hated Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for wanting to damage Li Xiang'e's reputation, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Li's mother never thought about not planning to deal with the Zhang family, but she was able to get rid of them and never have to see the ugly faces of Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Li's mother said that she was very content.

Thinking about it this way, this trouble caused by money turned out to be a good thing?

Immediately, Mother Li was cured instantly.

As for Li Xiang'e, she actually has no other ideas. People like this can be caught everywhere with their eyes closed in the last days! !

There are countless more than this.

Li Xiange said.

Long time to see her, she is very calm and calm! !
Early the next morning, before Li Xiang'e went out, she saw Zhang's father standing in front of Li's father from a distance, as if explaining.

Li Xiang'e frowned.

No way?
Uncle Zhang still has the nerve to find his father to renew his brotherhood? !

Simply, Father Li refused, bypassing Uncle Zhang and walking away without looking back.

Well done Dad!

Li Xiang'e applauded Li's father in her heart.

Before Zhang's father turned around to look over, Li Xiang'e hurried into the room as if nothing had happened.

She doesn't want to see their family either! !

Just pretend that you didn't see anything, and Li Xiang'e didn't tell Li's mother to make her upset.

Afterwards, Li Xiang'e practiced indoors all day and did not go up the mountain.

Even if this day has passed.

In the evening, Father Li came back with a smile all over his face.

There was a big bag of things in his hand.

Li's mother walked over to help, gave Li's father a white look, and asked.

"You went out in the morning and just came back now, don't you know how worried we are?! Why did you go?"

After finishing speaking, Li's mother looked straight at Li's father and kept staring at him. She must listen to Li's father to understand before she would give up.

Father Li waved his hand indifferently, smiled, and then slowly explained.

"Didn't I go out with dry food, there is nothing to worry about!! I have good news to tell you today..."

Li Xiang'e glanced at it.

In a daze, I saw that Father Li's bag seemed to be full of food.

Li Xiang'e was suddenly a little puzzled.

Aren't you going to the market today? !

not to mention--

At home, I still have the rice and noodles I bought myself, and some food I found on the mountain, and there is no shortage of food for the time being.

So, how can a frugal person like Father Li take the initiative to spend copper coins to buy food when there is still food left at home? ?
"Father, have you entered the city today? Why did you buy so much coarse grain??"

Li Xiang'e couldn't hold back, and asked.

Bought whole grains?

After hearing this, Mother Li opened her head and looked into the bag.

Hey, it's true, it must be at least forty catties! !
"Why is there so much food? Head of the family, have you entered the city today?"

Father Li smiled mysteriously and shook his head.

"I didn't enter the city today, I'm just outside the city gate..."

Hearing this, Mother Li and Li Xiang'e felt even more puzzled.

"Then tell me, what's going on here?"
