"Mother, something happened, eldest sister, she came to our house." Yunyun ran in and said breathlessly.

"Li Lu is here." Lin Xue put down her chopsticks, frowned, and said, "Yunyun, she came alone, or with others, did she say what she wanted to do?"

Yunyun shook her head, leaned against the door and said, "No, the eldest sister knelt in the courtyard as soon as she came, and she didn't answer when I asked her anything, mother, go and take a look, eldest sister, something seems to have happened to her." ”

"Xue'er, I'll go with you to take a look, Yunyun will stay here, don't go over." Lin Jie stood up and said.

Lin Xue nodded, and walked out with Lin Jie, in the courtyard of his house, Li Lu was dressed in single clothes, kneeling there with a haggard face, and when she saw Lin Xue coming over, her eyes rolled twice, and shouted, "Third aunt, save me, I beg you, if you refuse to help, our family will only have a dead end." After Li Lu finished speaking, she kowtowed desperately to Lin Xue.

Lin Xue took a few steps forward, stood in front of Li Lu and said, "After the performance, continue to make it up, I see what kind of wonderful story you can make up, Li Lu, do you know what you look like now?" Dog skin plaster, you can't get rid of it, you think I'm so stupid, fall for you. ”

A trace of panic flashed in Li Lu's eyes, if she didn't even want to help the third aunt, she really didn't know who to ask for help, "Third aunt, I really didn't lie to you, Xianggong was kidnapped, let me take five hundred taels of silver out to ransom people, I really have no choice but to come to you, third aunt, you can help me one last time." ”

Lin Xue turned around and sat on the stone bench, looked at Li Lu condescendingly and said, "Last time, I was abandoned by my father-in-law, and now it has become Yang Jian who was kidnapped again, Li Lu, don't you think what you say contradicts yourself?" Or am I so stupid, I believe everything you say. ”

Li Lu kowtowed, cried and said, "Third aunt, I admit that I lied to you last time, but this time it's true, I don't believe it, I see that this is a letter written by a kidnapper, and he really had an accident." Li Lu took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Xue.

Lin Xue shook her head, didn't pick it up, and said with a meaningful smile, "Lulu, then how do you want me to help you, save your father-in-law, or give you five hundred taels of silver." Lin Xue didn't believe that Yang Jian was kidnapped, she thought it was a scene directed by Li Lu and Yang Jian.

Li Lu grabbed Lin Xue's arm excitedly and said, "Third aunt, you don't need to save me, just give me the money, the kidnappers said that I was the only one to pay the ransom." ”

Lin Jie listened impatiently next to him, and said directly, "Xue'er, if you have anything to say to a liar, just drive it out." ”

Li Lu panicked, afraid that Lin Xue would really drive her out, so she pounced forward, grabbed the hem of Lin Jie's clothes and said, "I'm not a liar, what I said is true, Xianggong was really kidnapped, third aunt, do you believe me once." ”

Lin Xue was a little hesitant, Li Lu's expression didn't look like he was deceiving, for a moment Lin Xue softened a little, thought about it and said, "Li Lu, you get up first, if Yang Jian is really kidnapped, you should go to the police, why do you have to come to me." ”

Li Lu got up from the ground, touched her tears and said, "Third aunt, you can't report to the official, otherwise your husband's life won't be saved, I know that I have done a lot of wrong things before, which made the third aunt disappointed in me, but this time I really can't help it, except for the third aunt, I don't know who else can take out five hundred taels of silver." ”

Lin Jie laughed disdainfully and said, "Li Lu, you think that five hundred taels of silver is blown by the wind, and you will take it out when you say it, and why should we help you, you husband and wife are ungrateful and want to harm Yunyun, thinking that people like you don't deserve the sympathy of others at all, and you deserve it if something happens." ”

Li Lu's face became paler and paler, she also knew that she had done a lot of wrong things before, this time Yang Jian had an accident and she began to regret it, there were too many people who offended, and no one was willing to help her, and now Lin Xue was her last straw, "Third aunt, I am pregnant, the child can't live without a father, I beg you to help me this time, I really know that it is wrong." ”

"You ......" Lin Xue pointed at Li Lu and didn't know what to say, she took out five hundred taels of silver, but there was no way to judge whether what Li Lu said was true or false, "Li Lu, you tell me first how Yang Jian was kidnapped, have you offended anyone, remember, tell the truth, otherwise don't want me to help you." ”

Li Lu smiled bitterly, people really can't lie, otherwise no one will believe the truth after a long time, Li Lu sorted out his thoughts and began to narrate, it turned out that after Li Lu left Lin Xue's house that day, he went back to his hometown with Yang Jian, at that time Li Lu knew that Yang Jian also had a daughter-in-law in his hometown, and even the child was three years old.

There is no way Li Lu can only stay, fortunately, Yang Jian's former daughter-in-law is generous, the family has been peaceful for a while, who knows that Yang Jian did not come back after going out the day before yesterday, and someone sent a letter in the evening, asking Li Lu to exchange Yang Jian with five hundred taels of silver.

After listening, Lin Xue couldn't help laughing, what kind of curse is there in this old mansion, none of the girls who grew up there are good marries, Li Duo is lucky, although she is a concubine, she has her own son, and Young Master Wang is not bad to her.

"Li Lu, do you regret it? If you had gone to the capital with us, maybe all this would have been different. Lin Xue really wanted to know how big the magic of love was.

Li Lu smiled bitterly, she had also asked herself this question these days, and the answer was, regret, regret's intestines were green, "Third aunt, what's the use of saying that now, I'm already married to him, and even the child is pregnant, so let's live like this for the rest of my life." ”

Lin Xue nodded, no matter how much Li Lu had in his heart, he still had his own insistence in his bones, and from the beginning, Lin Xue's face also softened, let Li Lu sit down and said, "Lulu, I can help you, but I can't take out so much silver now, so we have to report to the official, this is the only way." ”

When Li Lu heard this, her legs bent and knelt down again, and begged, "Third aunt, you really can't report to the official, the Xiang Guild is dead, I beg you, I can borrow the five hundred taels of silver, I will return this silver even if I am a cow and a horse in the future." ”

Lin Jie snorted and laughed, not that he was not sympathetic, but that his previous impression of Li Lu was too bad to change for a while.

"Second brother, it's okay for you to say a few words." Lin Xue glanced at him, is there such a schadenfreude?

Lin Jie scratched his head, turned around and left, annoying him, he should go.

Lin Xue helped Li Lu up, the two were relatively speechless, Li Lu hesitated for a long time and said weakly, "Third aunt, the kidnappers only gave me five days, and now it's the second day, and if it continues, I'm afraid that Xianggong will die." ”

Lin Xue was also in a dilemma for a while, thought for a while and said, "Lulu, otherwise, you stay first, and when your third uncle comes back, we are discussing what to do." ”

"Third aunt, can't you take out the silver to help me first?" Li Lu's tone was slightly complaining.

"Li Lu, you remember that I don't owe you anything, if you don't want to wait, then find a way to solve it yourself, ask someone to do things and want to play with your temper, it's really worth looking at yourself." Lin Xue didn't talk to her, and after saying these words, she turned around and went to Lin's house.

Li Lu sat alone in the courtyard for a long time, and finally decided to stay and beg Lin Xue for help, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, what could he do if he didn't stay, who could take out five hundred taels of silver at once except Lin Xue.

Lin Xue stayed at the Lin family until the evening before coming back, and when she saw that Li Lu was still there, she walked over and said, "You stay in the Yunyun room first, and I will discuss it with your third uncle and them, if you want to help, I will give you an answer tomorrow." ”

"Thank you, Aunt San." Li Lu said stiffly, and then followed Yunyun back to the room in a daze.

"Mother, you really plan to help the eldest sister, I don't approve, she and her brother-in-law are not good people." Li Feng walked in from the door and said with a disapproving expression.

Lin Xue glanced at Li Qi and said, "Feng'er, my mother is also very embarrassed, I don't know whether to help or not, so I want to wait for you to come back and discuss it together." ”

Lin Xue pushed open the door of the living room, lit the oil lamp, and the room lit up all of a sudden, and after the three of them sat down, Li Feng said, "Mother, what else is there to discuss, don't help, like that kind of white-eyed wolf, even if you help them, you won't be grateful." ”

"Feng'er, she's your eldest sister anyway, don't talk like this." Li Qi reprimanded Li Feng, sighed and said, "Xiaoxue, if this thing is true, let's help it, otherwise Lulu is a woman with a child, how will she live in the future." ”

Lin Xue raised her eyebrows, Li Qi's words were interesting, he would really help, he approached Li Qi and asked, "Master, do you suspect that Li Lu is deceiving people?"

Li Qi scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Aren't I afraid of being fooled?" There's been too much going on at home lately. ”

Li Feng nodded solemnly, touched his chin and said, "Mother, what Dad said makes sense, grandma gave us money for the fourth uncle, and now this has happened to the eldest sister's family, which makes people have to be suspicious." The more Li Feng thought about it, the more he felt that Li Lu was deceiving people.

Lin Xue patted the back of Li Feng's hand and said, "Feng'er, don't jump to conclusions so early, I think what your eldest sister said this time is true, otherwise, let's stabilize your eldest sister first, and then find someone to investigate whether this matter is true." ”

Li Feng pursed his lips disdainfully, even if it was true, he didn't want to help, but Li Feng didn't dare to say it in his heart, nodded and said, "Mother, then do what you say, but I think this matter has to be notified to the government, so as to prevent trouble." ”
