197. The Day of Restlessness 5 (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Li Qi hesitated for a long time, and said, "Xiaoxue, I'm not thinking about how to save people, but this matter is a little strange, it stands to reason that Yang Jian was kidnapped, and his family should be in a hurry to get on fire and not be able to eat, but after I went today, I found that Yang Jian's mother and his daughter-in-law have not changed, except for not going to work in the fields, the others are the same as before, cooking and eating, I heard from the people in the village that Yang Jian and his daughter-in-law went to the town yesterday and bought a lot of things back." ”
Lin Xue reacted slowly, and asked an irrelevant question, "Master, when did you become so careful, and you even asked people what time they had to eat, unlike you." ”
Li Qi blushed, scratched his head and said, "Xiaoxue, I didn't find out about these, Liang Yu quickly inquired about them, and he went over with us today." ”
Lin Xue sighed, it turned out to be the case, she thought that Li Qi had really become smarter, "The master, according to these, it seems that Yang Jian was not kidnapped at all, otherwise his mother and his daughter-in-law would not have made such a decision, they should eat, drink, and go shopping in the town." ”
Li Qi nodded, his face was a little gloomy, and said, "Xiaoxue, I'm afraid we have been deceived again, why doesn't this Li Lu learn well, I really want to beat her." ”
Lin Xue held his hand and said, "In charge, Yang Jian was not kidnapped, it doesn't mean that Li Lu is lying, it is possible that she was also kept in the dark, just like us." ”
"Impossible." Li Qi didn't believe it, Lin Xue sighed in her heart, this Li Lu is really a failure, even a good old man like Li Qi doesn't believe her.
"How is it impossible, Yang Jian is a master of acting, hasn't he always kept it from us when he has a daughter-in-law and children at home? Lulu was still with him all day, and she didn't find out until she went back. Lin Xue also admires Yang Jian a little, this is to be put on hold in modern times, it is definitely the material to be a star, and he is too good at acting.
Li Qi listened to it a little, thought for a while and said, "Xiaoxue, then what do you say about this, there is no accurate statement there, shall we give Lulu back the money?" ”
"No." Lin Xue replied without hesitation, she never thought of giving Li Lu this money, there are many ways to help people, and reporting to the official is the best choice.
Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "Xiaoxue, then how can we go back and tell Lulu, tell the truth, or continue to hide it." ”
Lin Xue glanced at him strangely and said, Of course to be honest, she is not a daughter, I don't need to think so much about her, we can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to help here. ”
Li Qi nodded, it was recognized, as soon as the carriage arrived at the door, Li Lu ran out, looked at Li Qi expectantly and said, "Third uncle, you are finally back, hurry up and give me the silver, Xianggong is still waiting for me to save him." ”
Li Qi glanced at Li Lu with pity, shook his head and walked in, Li Lu was confused, what did the third uncle mean by shaking his head, didn't the silver be taken out, and asked with a pale face, "Third uncle, do you still hate the wrong things I did before, so you don't want to forgive me." ”
Li Qi walked to the living room and sat down, pointed to a stool next to him and said, "Lulu, you sit down first, third uncle, you have something to tell you." ”
Lin Xue and Li Feng also walked in and sat across the table, Li Lu was uneasy, always feeling that something bad was about to happen, so he cautiously asked, "Third uncle, what do you want to say." ”
Li Qi didn't know how to speak for a while, and felt more and more pity for Li Lu in his heart, he was deceived like this by his father-in-law, I'm afraid Li Lu was the first one, organized the language, and said, "Lulu, how much do you know about Yang Jian, what do you think of him." ”
Li Lu was stunned for a moment, instantly understood something, raised his head and looked at Li Qi and said, "Third uncle, if you have any questions, just say it, I can withstand the blow." Li Lu is very smart, Li Qi asked her if she must have found something, and Li Lu's heart sank little by little.
Li Qi inked for a long time, but still didn't think about what to say, Lin Xue was impatient, pushed Li Qi away and said, "Lulu, Yang Jian's kidnapping may be fake, his mother and his daughter-in-law may know the truth, so they will hide it from you alone." ”
Li Lu's first reaction was, impossible, the third uncle and the third aunt definitely didn't want to help to say this, but reason told her that the third uncle and the third aunt didn't need to lie to her at all, and if she didn't want to help, she just said it, so why make up such a fake excuse.
Li Lu's body shook for a moment, and she almost fell off the stool, and after grabbing the table with her hand and sitting firmly, she said, "Third aunt, do you have any evidence?" I am not reconciled, hearing is false, seeing is believing. ”
Lin Xue immediately understood that Li Lu believed it, but she still wanted to find a reason to deceive herself, and Lin Xue didn't know whether she wanted to see Li Lu unlucky, or if she wanted to wake her up, so she told Li Lu about the guess of catching fast and some abnormal things.
The more Li Lu listened, the paler her face became, and her whole body began to crumble, hehe, now she doesn't even have a reason to lie to herself, others don't know, but she knows that Mrs. Yang is a son, and she has always regarded Yang Jian as more important than her life, when the letter was delivered, Mrs. Yang fainted directly, and she looked stupid when she woke up, and she didn't come back for two days, and Mrs. Yang was able to eat and drink, and she didn't notice that there was a problem, so what was the difference between her Li Lu and a fool.
Looking at Li Lu's appearance, Lin Xue was a little unbearable, was she too cruel, and thought that even if she didn't say it today, Li Lu would know one day, she would be sad sooner or later, it would be better to be early, Lin Xue stood up, put her hand on Li Lu's arm and said, "Lulu, what are your plans now, if you want to leave, I can help you." ”
A strange smile suddenly appeared in Li Lu's mouth, and she said, "Third aunt, I'm pregnant, it's impossible to get separated, and it's so cheap Yang Jian, how can I be willing." After a pause, he said, "Third uncle, third aunt, thank you for your help, I plan to go back tomorrow." ”
"You're going back." Li Qi frowned, and persuaded bitterly, "Lulu, Yang Jian is not a good man at all, he can do this kind of thing today, and maybe he will do even more excessive things in the future." ”
A trace of gratitude and regret flashed in Li Lu's eyes, and she smiled bitterly, what's the use of regret, it's not all her own doing, "Third uncle, if I don't go back, won't they play this scene in vain?" I just want to go back and see how he, Yang Jian, can escape from the kidnappers without five hundred taels of silver. ”
Lin Xue couldn't help but shout in her heart, Li Lu was too angry with her, and said excitedly, "Lulu, the third sister-in-law will let someone send you back tomorrow morning, this time see what tricks he Yang Jian can play." ”
Li Feng looked at Lin Xue dumbfounded, even if he wanted to watch the excitement, he didn't have to be so active, it was not better to be tactful.
Li Lu smiled weakly, stood up and said, "Third uncle, third aunt, I'm a little tired and want to go back to my room to rest, you can talk slowly." ”
"Go, go, go." Lin Xue waved her hand, this blow was indeed a bit heavy, and it was already powerful that Li Lu could hold on without collapsing.
As soon as Li Lu left, Li Feng couldn't wait to say, "Mother, your intention to see the excitement just now is too obvious, I think you can't wait to become the eldest sister and go to Yang's house to tidy up Yang Jian." ”
Lin Xue's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Feng'er, you are simply a roundworm in my stomach, you know what I think, I really want to clean up Yang Jian, your eldest sister did those bad things before, and he didn't instigate it." ”
Li Feng sneered and said, "Mother, you are too arbitrary, if the eldest sister thought that we were not good at all, she would not have been embarrassed with Yang Jian, and the bad things were done, if you want me to say that the two of them deserve it, let's torture each other." ”
Li Qi looked at Lin Xue, saw Li Feng again, and sighed, "Don't talk about it, it's someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with us." Li Qi obviously listened to what Li Feng said, and he had no sympathy for Li Lu in his heart, and completely regarded her as an outsider.
Lin Xue nodded indifferently, if she didn't say anything, she just waited to see the excitement.
Different from when she came, Li Lu was very calm when she went back, without a trace of expression on her face, Lin Xue gave her ten taels of silver, it can be expected that according to Yang Jian's temper, Li Lu did not ask for money, and the fate of going back can be imagined, this money may be a way out for Li Lu when it is critical, and Lin Xue can be regarded as thinking about her for the last time.
After Li Lu left, Lin Xue temporarily put this matter behind, Li Xiao has been inspecting the entrance of the village for the past few days, and later decided to open a relatively large grocery store.
Lin Xue also went around with Li Xiao after knowing it, and it happened that there was a shop at the entrance of the village to be transferred, Lin Xue looked at it and felt that the location was good and the place was big enough, so she asked Li Xiao to discuss with the boss, and finally bought the shop for three hundred taels of silver.
With the shop, Li Xiao's heart is also warm, and in the past few days, he has dragged Dagui around the town whenever he has time, and he plans to go in and put everything he can see in the market.
Dagui complained to Lin Xue every time he came back, "Sister-in-law, you don't care about Li Xiao, he even has to bring in and out the rouge gouache used by women, do you think it's appropriate for this big man to sell this kind of thing?" It's not a shame to say it. ”
Lin Xue covered her mouth and laughed twice, and said, "Dagui, what's wrong with men selling these things, when you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, maybe you have to buy these things to coax her, you said that we have them in our own store, then you won't save a lot of money at that time, go out and learn more from Li Xiao in the future, your brain will be active, don't be so rigid." ”
Dagui scratched his head, anyway, Li Xiao sold it, and he didn't sell it, what the hell are you doing, so no matter what goods Li Xiao is buying in the future, he only runs errands and doesn't speak.
