Chapter Seventy-Seven: Another
The borrowed money made the cousin and his wife quarrel, Li Ming and the couple looked at each other, the husband didn't know what to say, and the wife didn't think so.
Fu Jingheng's expression caused others to quarrel, and he was present to see others quarreling, shame and embarrassment coexisted. But for the sake of his grandmother, he had to borrow money from others. He took two steps forward to persuade and said, "The grandfather of the Li family and the grandmother of the Li family are angry, and they must not quarrel anymore." ”
"If you hadn't borrowed the money, how would my old man and I have quarreled?" Old Mrs. Li said this angrily with a dark face, and then she pointed to Li Yao and said, "And you, the evil obstacle, actually hid silver secretly for me!" ”
"I didn't!" Li Yao refused to admit it, "The officials were on the side that day, and the money earned had to be given to the officials." Because Naqinghe County belonged to the rule of my grandfather's students, the officials there took good care of us and didn't ask my granddaughter for silver. My granddaughter thanked her for her kindness and gave her thirty taels of silver, and I gave the rest to my grandmother. The trick to that cake is easy to understand at a glance, but it doesn't really sell for a price. There is also the braised pork recipe, that is, because of the novelty of the dish, people are not willing to buy any recipe. "The Wu family is here, she naturally can't confide in the Wu family, she actually took out a total of eighty taels to her grandmother and the official messenger, so she said so. Belch...... Determination is meant to be broken, and that's true. She was determined not to lie, and it seemed that she couldn't do it.
Li Yao looked confused and pretended to be stupid. This child often has innocuous little questions on issues that are not of principle.
Wu's expression was clear in disbelief, and she winked at her husband, but her husband stood there expressionless, oblivious to her eyes.
Li Jimin touched the beard on his chin helplessly, and patiently persuaded his wife: "Give Brother Jing Heng twenty taels of silver first." The old lady of the Fu family also needs this life-saving silver for the purpose of curing the disease, and saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. You used to love to copy Buddhist scriptures, but now you don't even understand this truth? After saying these words, he also deliberately turned to look at his granddaughter behind him. In fact, Wu's words made him suspicious of his granddaughter. Did the granddaughter only earn eighty taels of silver?
Li Yao looked at her grandfather extremely innocently, except for eighty taels of silver, she didn't admit that she had earned more. Wouldn't it be more troublesome to admit it, and for this reason, the cousin will be involved. Resolutely cannot admit it!
At least in front of my grandmother and Wu, I can't admit that the former is an old lady who picks the door partially, and the latter is a middle-aged woman who is mean and calculating. If you let them know that they have money in their hands, I don't know what moths they will make.
Seeing his granddaughter's appearance, Li Jimin was shaken again, feeling that he was wrong to blame his granddaughter.
At this time, no one noticed that Fu Jingheng looked at her thoughtfully when Li Yao explained. Li Yao once lent her cousin nearly ten taels of silver, and she also told her cousin that if she wanted to borrow silver, she could still find her, then she must have hidden the silver in her hand.
At this time, Li Yao was busy dealing with her grandmother, and she had long forgotten about the silver she lent Fu Jinglin.
Li Yao is a person who loves to lie, and he is still a person who doesn't blink an eye when he lies. In this regard, the perception that she is a liar essence is completely confirmed here in Fu Jingheng.
The latter is nothing more than the question of whether to borrow twenty taels of silver to Fu Jingheng.
In the end, Mrs. Li only promised to take out ten taels of silver. Ten taels of silver is a drop in the bucket for his family, but Fu Jingheng has other plans.
"Wu family, you went and called the Han family brother in front of you."
Wu listened to his aunt's instructions, and knew what his aunt was going to do in a flash of thought. When selling the son first, the niece Li Yao and Han Jin have been mixed together, if the niece secretly hid the silver after selling the son, it is very likely that Han Jin helped hide it. So she immediately agreed to her aunt's words.
But Fu Jingheng also opened his mouth at this time: "The grandmother of the Li family lent silver to the younger generation and helped the Fu family. If there is a send, let the younger generation do it. The cousin of the Han family, don't bother Aunt Wu, the younger generation will call it. ”
Whoever calls it is the same, and Mrs. Li will follow him. And Li Yao was still forced to ask by Mrs. Li, asking her if she had hidden the silver. Li Yao didn't admit that he hid the silver anymore.
Fu Jingheng walked to the front to call Han Jin, and when he took Han Jin to the backyard, he said to Han Jin with a sad face: "My grandmother is seriously ill now and needs silver, but I really can't borrow much silver here, junior brother." Now there is still a gap of one hundred and fifty taels, I wonder if Brother Han may lend me these silvers here? He borrowed more silver to cure his grandmother, and for this reason he offered to borrow another hundred and fifty taels.
Han Jin is a good and enthusiastic young man, he has no doubt about Fu Jingheng's temptation, and he touches his chin around his chest and thinks about it.
Fu Jingheng observed Han Jin's expression without blinking for a moment. He saw that although Han Jin had a look of embarrassment on his face, he did not look like he was worried and uncertain, so he knew that Han Jin had one hundred and fifty taels of silver in his hand. So he further probed: "I borrowed so much silver, but Brother Han didn't have it?" Or does Brother Han have it, but it's not good to lend me? ”
Maybe Han Jindao is not deep, or maybe Fu Jingheng is good, so he can trust Fu Jingheng's character. So at this time, he did not suspect that people were testing him, so he hurriedly responded: "I know that Brother Fu is worried about my grandmother's illness, and I also have some silver in my hand, so I am willing to lend you money." But the money is not mine, it belongs to my cousin. I need to talk to my cousin. When human life is at stake, I naturally won't refuse you. My cousin is also very good, you wait for me to talk to her here, and then I will reply to you. ”
When his words fell, Fu Jingheng was surprised in his heart: Sure enough, Li Yao earned a lot of money by selling his son, but he really didn't expect that this tea and rice craft could also earn so much silver. I never expected that this girl had hidden all this money in her hand. The question is, what does this girl want to do with her private money? Is she going to save a dowry for herself? Well, that doesn't mean that this girl has selfish intentions. Now that her family's silver is overwhelmed, she doesn't know if she will be concerned with her family's use of silver. If you just save the dowry, this money is too early, right?!
If Fu Jingheng's test of Han Jin was known to Li Yao, she would definitely not think that Fu Jingheng was just a pedantic nerd who died reading. It's like a pancake with sesame seeds! He still has some eyes. Of course, people come up with this kind of temptation for their grandmother because of filial piety, which can't be said to be wrong.
Han Jin asked Fu Jingheng to wait for his news. Fu Jingheng naturally responded to him. So Han Jin was taken to the backyard by Fu Jingheng.
Han Jin entered the backyard, and Fu Jingheng left.
Li Yao didn't dare to look at Han Jin, she raised her hand and touched the broken hair on her forehead, then grabbed the wrist of the other hand with one hand and shook it gently. She felt that Han Jin should be able to understand what she meant. She's done her best to keep it out of the way.
At this time, Mrs. Li paid special attention to her, and she raised her hand and poked her forehead with her finger and said, "You don't give me a hint of a thief, what are you trying to hide?" And you say you don't have any money? (To be continued.) )
