Chapter 156: Difficulty
Liao Chengzhi smiled and nodded: "It's gold, I bought it for eight taels of silver, the price is okay, I think it's worth it, so I bought it for my mother as a New Year's gift." ”
As he spoke, he said to his father-in-law: "Dad, I don't know what to buy for you and your eldest brother and younger brother, so I bought a cow for the family to help you reduce your burden." The road here is too narrow for us to catch a car, otherwise we will buy an ox cart and bring it back. But I bought another donkey, and in the future, my mother, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law can ride a donkey when they go to the town or the county seat. ”
Lao Lintou was happy that he finally had an old cow in his family, and on the other hand, he spent so much money for his son-in-law to buy such a thing for his family, and he couldn't go away. At the moment, he spoke both happily and a little reproachful: "Chengzhi! It's not easy for you to run a trip, earn so much money, just buy this and buy that, and you can't spend all of it, what can you do in the future? ”
Liao Chengzhi laughed heartily for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "The big guys are here just now, I didn't dare to say it." Dad, I made a lot of money this time, I originally thought that I would earn a hundred and two silver dollars, and I would be able to reach the sky. I didn't expect to cross the border, the same thing, I earned this amount! Liao Chengzhi stretched out his right hand and spread his five fingers to gessy.
The old Lin Tou and the whole family all hissed, and the sound of exclamation came out of their throats. Only then did Liao Lin know the surprise that the child's father said, this is not just a surprise, is it a crazy preference? !
Lin Song couldn't hold his breath, and immediately said in a hurry: "Brother-in-law, take our family to go next year!" "Xianmian is her husband, the younger brother of the Liao Lin clan.
Lin Luo rolled his eyes and rolled his eyes over this brother-in-law, and the head said that he didn't ask his uncle. I'm going to beat myself up and beg for help!
The two brothers of the old Lin Tou and the Lin family also looked at Liao Chengzhi with hope, Liao Chengzhi shook his head and said, "This is not easy, we don't have the ability to go over ourselves." One doesn't have that capital, and the second can't afford to hire that dart team. The dart team they invited cost thousands of taels of silver for a trip, and the general caravan could not invite them, and even many dart bureaus in the capital had to eat the rest of their mouths, relying on them to give them some work. We're like that. People don't even look at it.
Also, the merchant I talked to this time, one is specialized in the salt business, and the other is specialized in the tea business, and they have tens of thousands of dollars at a time. The taxes paid to the government alone amounted to several thousand taels. It's small, but it's not worth the trip.
We began to beg people to follow, but they didn't take us, saying that our little goods were not enough to spend on the road. It was also my luck that I caught up with Wang Shoucheng, who I met on the road in the past, and he was also the master, so I kindly took us with me.
There are bigger problems; It's dangerous! If it weren't for the Wang brothers and those bodyguards, as well as the people of the Zhao family. Just the people of us, then just wait for someone to cut the melon. ”
Everyone in the Lin family gasped, and Lin Xianmian subconsciously touched his neck. Frightened, he asked, "Is there anyone over there who dares to kill?" ”
Liao Chengzhi replied funny: "People don't dare to do anything, aliens are fierce." I heard that there are not many of them, the most are wolves, and we have encountered many wolves along the way, and they are not afraid, just like cutting vegetables and melons. One knife at a time, very neat. I'm back with two wolf skins! ”
Lin Song listened to his eldest brother-in-law say that there was so much danger. immediately dispelled the original intention of wanting to make a lot of money at home, money is important. People are more important!
Lao Lin Tou looked at his son-in-law who was talking with a lot of pride, and asked coldly: "Then what are your plans now, do you pay back your father's family fee first or build a house and buy a field first?" ”
Liao Chengzhi looked at the child's mother, and saw that her appearance was completely up to his own decision, so he turned his head and replied to his father-in-law: "I will bring gifts tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I will go away with the child's mother to all the relatives here, and everyone will send their love." After the sixteenth day I went back and brought the money, and after the first month of the New Year here, I took the children and their mother to my friend's place. My brother's father is in the town, and it is convenient to do everything, whether it is building a house or buying a field, I don't need to care. ”
Old Lin was anxious, "What's the matter?" Do you really want to leave your hometown and be the only family who is bullied? ”
Liao Lin felt that his husband was a powerful man, and since he had decided it, he would not be bad, so he stopped her mother immediately, "Mother! Just do what we want! I'm willing to follow his father anywhere, as long as he's there, I'm not afraid of anything! ”
Liao Chengzhi grinned at the woman who supported him so much. Liao Lin blushed under the laughter of his family, and quickly stood up and carried Xiao Dongming, who was already asleep, into their room, and never wanted to come out again.
Lao Lin Tou followed Liao Chengzhi's words and said: "Then if you think about it, we have nothing to object. It's just that the place is not far from us? If you come back to visit relatives, will it be convenient? ”
Liao Chengzhi replied: "It's not too far, if you take a carriage, it will only take two or three days, and it should be okay to come back once or twice a year, but I'm afraid that I have to go out to do business, and it is not safe for the child to come back alone." ”
Lin Xianhu hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "This is fine, you can ask someone to bring us a letter when the time comes, and Xianmian and I can just go and pick it up one by one." ”
Liao Chengzhi nodded, "If I build a house over there and settle down completely, I'll come and pick you up for a walk." In the future, when you go to the provincial capital, you can also stop by to see us. ”
Lao Lin hurriedly nodded in agreement, "This is good!" I must see that you are doing well, and the neighbors are getting along well, so that my heart can be steady. ”
Lao Lin Tou looked at his son-in-law, and seemed to be very sleepy, so he let everyone disperse, so that his son-in-law could go back to the house to rest.
When he returned to the bedroom, he saw that the child's mother had not slept yet, and prepared hot water to wait for him, so he smiled and took out a golden hairpin with flowers from his arms. Liao Lin didn't expect that his husband would buy something for himself, and he would have such a beautiful and expensive golden hairpin. happily took the hairpin, regardless of the fact that it was time to sleep at night, and he had to stick it on his head.
Liao Chengzhi took the hairpin funny, put it aside, and said, "Don't toss, don't bring this at the moment." When I take care of my father's and mother's affairs, let's go to Brother Wang, and you can take it with you. Their Wang family are all capable people, and we rely on their Wang family over there, and others dare not bully us. You wear more gold and silver. No one dared to look for trouble. ”
Liao Lin nodded obediently and carefully collected the golden hairpin. Liao Chengzhi washed up casually and went to bed. While saying, "Prepare a pot of water for me tomorrow, and I want to take a good bath." In order to save a few tips in the guest house, I have never taken a hot bath, and I wipe things with a cloth towel every time. ”
Liao Lin heard this. I wanted to cry again, and said in a choked voice: "Father, child, we have so much silver, and we will buy dozens of acres of land in the future, and we won't go out to run business." Good no good? I just heard you say that you were almost killed in that grassland, and my heart is still terrified. ”
Liao Chengzhi sighed and said: "You don't know this, we are used to running outside, and we can't rest at home, and if we don't run for a few months, our hearts will be as uncomfortable as a cat's paw." However, you don't have to worry, I don't know if people are willing to take me with me in the future?! Hurry up and go to sleep! ”
After sixteen. Liao Chengzhi went back to Liao's house alone with a hundred taels of silver tickets and gifts.
Her mother, Liao Li, looked at the third son who came back with no expression, and lowered her head and continued to do what she was doing. Old man Liao was also called back from the wheat field, and his sister-in-law and eldest brother also followed.
Liao Chengzhi found the people who were witnesses at the beginning. took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and asked the respected Li Zhen to specially verify the authenticity of the silver ticket. From the hand of Li Zhen to the hand of Old Man Liao. The sister-in-law of the Liao family regretted a little, she knew that this Liao Laosan could make so much money, so she shouldn't have agreed to him so quickly.
Liao Li, who was on the side, saw that the silver ticket of one hundred taels had another idea, and asked in front of everyone: "Third child, did you hide the silver in private before?" Otherwise, such a short time. Where did you get all this money? Either that, you've earned so much before, but you haven't taken it all out! ”
Those who helped testify. I was also very curious, and I also thought that Liao Chengzhi might have hidden private money before. Otherwise, why was he so resolute that he would rather be burdened with a debt of one hundred taels of silver than split up? If he didn't have the bottom in his heart, how would he dare?
Liao Chengzhi unhurriedly followed himself to an acquaintance and went to the herdsmen of the northern grasslands, and only earned such a little silver after nine deaths. Finally, he asked his mother: "Mother!" Is that a lot of money compared to my life? ”
Liao Li didn't squeak, and looked at the others suspiciously, but Li Zhen said a fair word: "Things from here can indeed make more money when they cross the border over there." I heard that there are two royal relatives who have fallen into bad luck because of selling smuggled tea. If you don't make too much money, why do people want to take risks to do this? But it's too dangerous there, if you don't have the support of nobles, you really won't have a chance to come back alive, you have to remember the love of others! ”
When Liao Li saw that Li Zhen said this, she didn't dare to stir it up anymore, so she had to endure the heartache of not being able to scavenge the third child's silver coins, and sat aside expressionlessly.
Sister-in-law Liao saw that her mother-in-law had died down, so she wanted to go into battle to find a way to scavenge a little down, even if she couldn't find anything, she was embarrassed by Liao Laosan, and she could feel happy in her heart.
Immediately picked up the words of Lizhen and said: "Not really! Everyone else knows that they have to remember everything, and the parenting grace of their parents must not be forgotten either. This 100 taels of silver is the division fee that was agreed at the beginning, so you didn't give anything to the third child's parenting! ”
Liao Chengzhi's heart sank, this is not easy to do, if you insist on saying no, don't give it! Then you will be scolded for being unfilial, and if you give, you can open your mouth at will as much as you want. When Liao Chengzhi thought of this, he looked at Lizhen with a little complicated mood. Li Zhen saw Liao Chengzhi looking at him, the complexity in his eyes was understood by him as grief, and he was also panicking at the moment because of these greedy and unaffectionate family members.
He looked coldly at the sister-in-law of the Liao family, who was proud of being able to stump the third child, and then looked at the old man Liao and the eldest brother of the Liao family who were silent and were embarrassed by women. At that moment, he said coldly: "What Liao said is reasonable, since he is a son, he should provide for the elderly, and the same should be true for the family." Then your family will be divided again, today I will be in charge, one hundred taels of silver will be returned to Cheng Zhi, in addition, the four brothers of the field and family property will be divided equally, and the amount of money that Cheng Zhi earned before will also be calculated, and Cheng Zhi will be given the share that he deserves. In this way, the four brothers will all provide for their parents in the same way in the future, this is the great filial piety! (To be continued)
