Happy Little Scholar

Chapter 257: Lao Fang’s Choice

Old Man Sun put down his copper coins and left. As soon as Li Yi invited him to come in for a cup of tea, he was politely rejected.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy followed the old man without looking back at the money.

Although Sanguan money is a lot, it does not belong to them.

He had dozens of copper coins in his pocket, which was the only huge amount of money he had ever known. When the "female ghost" appeared on the stage, he was responsible for setting off smoke behind the scenes. This was the salary he deserved. .

When I go back later, I can buy a bunch of candied haws on the street, and I don’t want to spend the remaining money, saving it for marrying my wife.

I've wanted to eat candied haws on a stick for a long time, but I couldn't bear to buy it for five cents a bunch, so I bought it for three cents. I ate half of it today and kept the other half for tomorrow.

Grandpa said that some time ago, if there was a suitable role, he would be allowed to show his face on the stage. I was nervous and looking forward to it. In the past, I had only served as a helper for others and had never really performed on the stage.

Watching an old man and a young man walk out of the door, after a long time, Li Yi remembered that there was one more thing to discuss with him. At this time, the old man had disappeared, and the matter was not that urgent. We would talk about it next time when we have a chance.

I didn't pay much attention to the hook bar before, it was just a good place to spend time in my spare time, but I don't think so now.

There is a treasure land there, a treasure land that is ignored and no one takes it seriously.

The Internet is still a very distant thing in this era. It will take hundreds or thousands of years to take shape. There are no platforms for ordinary people to discuss and communicate, such as Tieba and Weibo. plays such a role.

Li Yi only recently realized that this is a huge force, the source of public opinion, and the intersection of all kinds of news. His soul has been forward for thousands of years, and he knows how powerful this thing is. Wherever public opinion comes from, it can kill people invisible. , even rebelling and changing dynasties cannot get around this place, it’s just that most people haven’t realized it yet.

The collapse of the Han family was only due to Wu Er and a few storytellers. Rather than saying that Senior Han was killed by his concubine for property, it would be better to say that he died under the sword manual that did not exist in the first place.

If he had grasped this power early, he would have already taken action before those green forest gangsters arrived at Qing'an Mansion. How could he be in such a mess by them?

Originally he was just doing it casually, helping these poor people living at the bottom of society within the scope of his ability, but he did not expect that this would also bring considerable profits. Of course, the most important thing was that he ignored it at the beginning. effect.

He hasn't thought about rebellion or anything yet. It's something he just did without much investment, and maybe it will come in handy at any time.

How to do it specifically needs to be thought about carefully. After being interrupted by Old Man Sun during his nap, he didn't feel much sleepy at the moment.

Still lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, the little boss was not around, and his body and mind were relaxed. Li Yi felt that he was getting lazier and lazier.

There was a dull sound of footsteps approaching from far away. Xiao Huan could not even make such a sound even if she was stamping her feet on the ground. Moreover, she would not come to disturb him while he was basking in the sun. He knew it was Lao Fang without opening his eyes.

Lao Fang seems to be in a low mood recently. When asked, he didn't tell what happened. He suspected that he had a conflict with his mother-in-law at home, but it didn't seem like it. If the two of them got into a fight, it was usually because Lao Fang was handcuffed. The mother-in-law who was holding a broom inside was beating her. After one night, it was as if nothing had happened. It was like this every time. I don’t know how they reconciled in private...

This time it was obviously different. Lao Fang walked in front and Lao Fang's aunt followed behind. Both of them looked unhappy.

Seeing that this posture was wrong, Li Yi immediately sat up from the rocking chair.

This situation doesn't seem good. Judging from the expression of the Fang family's sister-in-law, could it be that the affair between Lao Fang and the girl from Qunyuyuan was exposed and they were caught?

He had been reminded a long time ago that his hands and feet should be clean when doing things, but this guy kept saying that he and Miss Xiaohong were innocent. Isn't this a big mistake?

"Fang Laosan, have you ever thought about this day?" Before Li Yi could ask, the Fang family's sister-in-law pointed at Lao Fang and said with a livid face.

Lao Fang's face also darkened and he said, "Young woman, what do you know? Go home!"

The Fang family's sister-in-law did not give in at all and said: "You are a heartless person, you can't survive this day, pity our poor mother-in-law..."

It's over, it seems that the matter has been exposed. Is Lao Fang planning to elope with Miss Xiaohong? Or do you plan to welcome her home?

Li Yi immediately came to a conclusion in his mind.

Old Fang Tie said nothing with a livid face. Li Yi glared at him, walked to the Fang family's sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will make the decision for you. If he dares to bring Miss Xiaohong home, I will kill him." Put him in jail and let him reflect for ten days and a half!"

"Miss Xiaohong?" Old Aunt Fang was stunned, looked at Li Yi and asked in confusion: "What Miss Xiaohong?"

Lao Fang's face was no longer livid, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he began to stand a little unsteadily on his feet.

Li Yi looked at the confused expression on Fang's sister-in-law's face, and turned to look at Lao Fang. He found that he was winking at him, but the expression on his face did not change. He turned back and continued: "Sister-in-law, you don't know something, this little red girl." She is an actor in Goulan, and her singing skills are top-notch. Lao Fang said that if you like listening to music, you must buy the little red girl back and let her sing to you every day. How much do you think it will cost? How can ordinary people afford it... But don't blame him. After all, he has good intentions. If he doesn't want to buy it, he won't buy it. We are all a family, so there is no need to hurt the harmony. "

The face of the Fang family's sister-in-law softened, but she still glared at Lao Fang and said: "The family has only saved a few taels of silver, but its tail is already in the sky. It wants to buy actors to come back to sing songs. That's what we can provide." Can you afford it? We need an extra mouth to eat at home, and we don’t have any extra room. I’m not as prodigal as you..."

Although it was a reprimand, the tone was much softer than before.

Lao Fang smiled coquettishly, acquiescing to what Li Yi just said.

Li Yi also wiped a sweat in his heart. Fortunately, he was smart, otherwise, every year on this day, he would probably have to go to Lao Fang's grave to burn a few sticks of incense and weed the grass...

The "misunderstanding" was resolved. The Fang family's sister-in-law said that she could just go to Goulan to listen to the music. She was not a wealthy family and could not afford to support actors. Lao Fang took the initiative to admit her mistake. The husband and wife were harmonious, and the piano and the piano played harmoniously. If Li Yi hadn't stood there Their world was destroyed in the middle, and the atmosphere became even more perfect.

Lao Fang put a medium-sized bag in Li Yi's hand, glanced at his mother-in-law, and said: "We will take the money that should be taken, and we can't touch anything that shouldn't be taken. I have the final say on this matter. You Just don’t worry about it anymore.”

The woman's lips moved, but she finally nodded and said nothing more.

"What?" Li Yi was confused.

Lao Fang looked at him and explained: "This silver is the share of Ruyi Dew and strong liquor. Brother, please take it back. It's good to earn money while lying on the bed without doing anything, but with this money, I feel sad in my heart." Restless life."

Li Yi opened the bag, and the white flowers inside were dazzling.

He was a little stunned. What happened today? People were lining up to give away money?
