Chapter 201: Savior
Li Yuqing heard the village chief say this, so she was relieved, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the village chief's arm, let him sit down, pointed to An Xiaoneng next to him and said to the village chief, "Uncle village chief, when Aunt Xiulian saw you, she should have told you, this is the person I brought back from the town today, his name is An Xiaoneng, I think you also know, I just want to ask, can you give him a piece of land in the village."

The village chief frowned, glanced at Li Yuqing, and then at An Xiaoneng beside her, and saw that An Xiaoneng was about the same age as his son Li Congwen, but his face was sallow, and his body was very weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him away, and he knew that his previous life was not satisfactory without asking, which couldn't help but arouse his pity.
"It's easy to say it's easy to do, but it's not easy to do."
"How do you say this," Li Yuqing asked with a nervous expression.
Seeing Li Yuqing like this, the village chief just wanted to answer, when he saw the kettle that Zhu had brought up on the table, he felt a little thirsty, reached out and picked up the kettle, and was about to pour himself a glass of water, but nothing was poured out, and he looked left and right, and saw Li Yuqing and An Xiaoneng, looking at him with blank eyes, the village chief was a little embarrassed, silently put down the kettle in his hand, swallowed his saliva and said" If the people in the village want the land in the village, they just need to go to the yamen and stamp it, but if they are outsiders, they will either marry a girl from the village, or they will pay money to buy it."
After listening to the village chief's words, Li Yuqing frowned, and silently glanced at An Xiaoneng who was sitting beside him, although ancient people generally got married very early, but like An Xiaoneng, who was skinny, there was no meat in total, even if there were good conditions, no one would marry the girl to him, and the only thing left was to spend money to buy land.
Thinking of this, Li Yuqing looked at the village chief and continued, "Uncle village chief, if you spend money to buy land, how much silver will you need?"
Hearing Li Yuqing ask, the village chief was a little surprised, and asked again uncertainly, "Yuqing, you really plan to let this little brother An settle down in our Lijia Village, what do you have to do with him!"
Li Yuqing nodded, "I have nothing to do with him, it's just that he used to be a kitchen helper in Fumanlou and had some friendship with me, but now, he doesn't work in Fumanlou anymore, and he can't go back at home, so he wants to leave him in Lijia Village. ”
Hearing Li Yuqing say this, the village chief knew that she had made up her mind, so she could only sigh helplessly, tilted her head and thought for a while and continued, "Ten taels of silver"
Li Yuqing frowned, and the village chief frowned when he saw her, afraid that she would misunderstand that it was her lion who opened her mouth and asked for the price indiscriminately, so she quickly explained, "Yuqing, don't get me wrong, this money is not what I want, it is the regulations of the village, for fear that someone will come and settle down casually and disturb the original quiet of Lijia Village." Originally, I wanted twenty taels of silver, but I felt that Brother An was like this, and it was not satisfactory to want to live, so I asked for ten taels of silver."
The village chief was not wrong, because when he just finished speaking, Li Yuqing's face changed at that time, and he really thought so in his heart, after listening to his explanation, his face recovered, and the village chief continued to make persistent efforts to say, "This ten silver, part of it is the land fee in the village, and the other part is the settlement fee, as long as you get it and go to the goat's milk to stamp a seal, from now on, this little brother An is us, the authentic people of Lijia Village."
An Xiaoneng has been listening carefully, what the village chief said to Li Yuqing, when he heard that he had to take out ten silver to settle down in Lijia Village, his heart sank to the bottom, because he didn't say ten silver now, even if he didn't have a penny.
Although he worked in Fumanlou for a long time, but every time he just finished receiving his salary, he was taken by his sister-in-law, although sometimes, he would secretly take down a few pennies to save, but without exception, every time he went out to work, he would be found by his sister-in-law when he came back, not only all the silver was confiscated, but also in exchange for a beating, after a long time, he also extinguished the heart of saving private money.
This time is the same, in order to get rid of his vicious sister-in-law, he gave her all the money given by Shopkeeper Yao, in order to exchange for his current free body.
Because of the lack of confidence, An Xiaoneng cautiously looked at Li Yuqing's expression, for fear that she would not pay attention to what she said or did that would make her discouraged.
After listening to the village chief's words, Li Yuqing, who had been silent, felt An Xiaoneng's gaze, tilted his head and glanced at him, but saw him looking at himself with a nervous face, that look liked, an animal that was about to be slaughtered, at that time, he only felt a pain in his heart, took a deep breath, took out his sleeve, put ten silver in front of the village chief and said, "Then it will trouble the village chief, uncle, arrange things as soon as possible, and save a lot of dreams at night"
Li Yuqing said this, not because he was worried about the village chief, but because he was afraid that he would suddenly bring An Xiaoneng like this, although he gave his sister-in-law five taels of silver, but his eldest brother didn't know, if his eldest brother came back and found that An Xiaoneng was gone, would he suddenly be impulsive not afraid of death, so he came to Lijia Village and forcibly took him away, and it would be a little difficult to do it at that time. If An Xiaoneng can have a household registration in Lijia Village by then, then no matter what happens to his eldest brother, he will not be taken away so easily.
Although Li Yuqing only said half of what he said, those who can achieve the position of village chief must be human spirits, and they don't need to explain it, they also know what Li Yuqing means. took the ten silver on the table, put it on his chest and said, "Don't worry about this, I will go to the county government in the afternoon and do everything well, so that even if someone comes to make trouble in the future, then they can't do anything."
After getting the assurance of the village chief, Li Yuqing was relieved, and at the same time, An Xiaoneng, who had been in a state of distraction, was relieved.
After talking about this matter, the village chief asked An Xiaoneng a few more questions uneasily, An Xiaoneng answered honestly, and after listening to his answer, the village chief felt more and more that Li Yuqing was right to bring An Xiaoneng over, if An Xiaoneng continued to stay in the previous house, he might be tortured to death by his sister-in-law, and there would be no one to redress his grievances.
Almost all the questions were asked, but Li Yuqing took An Xiaoneng and continued to sit there, not even meaning to leave. The village chief was embarrassed to ask more, so the three of them sat there awkwardly, chatting without a word, and at this moment, the savior-like Zhu finally returned home.
Li Yuqing, who had never left, just felt as if he had forgotten something, finally remembered the moment he saw Zhu, raised his hand and slapped his forehead, and scolded secretly, "What a pig's head"
The village chief was a little dumbfounded when he saw Li Yuqing like this, he didn't know what was wrong with her, and even the Zhu family, who had just entered the house, saw him like this, and asked Li Yuqing with an urgent face, "Yuqing, what's wrong with you, is there something uncomfortable!"
Li Yuqing looked at the others who looked at her anxiously, and said embarrassedly, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I didn't leave just now, and I was always thinking about whether I forgot something, but at the moment when Aunt Xiulian just came in, I finally remembered, so..."
After listening to Li Yuqing's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that there was a reason why Li Yuqing had been relying on him and not leaving.
"Yuqing, you remembered, what's the matter" The village chief looked at Li Yuqing and asked. (To be continued.) )
