19. Greasy
The two followed the route they inquired about all the way, the house was not small but did not match the identity of the other party described by Li Cheng, the door was locked from the outside and the inside could not be seen, Zhao took Lin Xue to the next house, and there was only an old lady basking in the sun in the yard.
"Auntie, do you know where the person next door has gone, I have something to look for her." Zhao asked.
"Who are you," the old lady gave a suspicious look.
"Auntie, we are here to find relatives, and the address she gave is that this is a locked house as if no one is there, do you know where to go?" Zhao made up a reason.
"Then you may be looking for the wrong thing, there is no one living next door, and it is always empty." The old lady moved, "But it seems that someone went in yesterday, I guess someone wants to rent a room!" ”
"Thank you, auntie, it should be that we have found the wrong place, let's leave first and don't bother you," Zhao said goodbye, "Brother and sister, what do you say is going on, obviously no one lives in Li Cheng but said to marry the girl from this family." ”
Lin Xue thought for a while, "If we didn't find the wrong place, then Li Cheng was lying, didn't my aunt say that there was movement yesterday, it happened to be the day when my sister-in-law proposed marriage." Lin Xue had an idea, "Isn't this house rented, let's go to the owner of this house, he must know what happened yesterday." ”
Zhao nodded, and went back to ask the old lady for the address of the owner of the house, and after finding the person, Lin Xue said, "Big brother, your house has never been rented." ”
"Yes, someone rented it the day before yesterday, but that person was also strange that he only rented it for two days, and he moved out last night." The middle-aged man said.
"Big brother, you rent it for two days," Lin Xue asked, "Do you know what that person's name is, she rents the house alone." ”
"They gave a month's rent, and of course I agreed to stay only for two days," the middle-aged man thought for a while, "It was two people who came together, the woman's name was Ping'er, and the man's name was Li Cheng." ”
"Li Cheng." Zhao exclaimed, "Big brother, you remember correctly, it's really called Li Cheng." ”
The middle-aged man was a little unhappy and said, "I can hear the woman's own call, I said what the hell are you two going to do, saying that you want to rent a house but you keep inquiring about the situation of those two, how do you know each other!" ”
"Big brother," Zhao patted his thigh, "I won't tell you, that man is my brother because my mother didn't agree to their marriage, and I ran away a few days ago and didn't find him, and today I heard that someone said that he appeared in your room, so we came here." ”
"I see." The man softened his breath and said, "You're late, they moved away last night, but they should still be in town, I heard the woman say that it seems that there are some relatives here who want to go to the town, you can find them if you inquire more." ”
"That's okay, I'm sorry for you, big brother, let's look elsewhere." Knowing the truth of the matter, Lin Xue secretly said that this Li Cheng was really bold to deceive the family.
"Now I'm really eye-opening, our Li family has a talent." Zhao sneered, "Brother and sister, don't mention this matter to anyone when you go back, we don't care if he Li Chengai marries him." ”
Lin Xue has this intention, anyway, even if something happens to them after they split up, it has nothing to do with them, "Second sister-in-law, let's go shopping, I've forgotten about this." ”
Zhao is very satisfied with Lin Xue's knowledge, this younger brother and sister's brain has recently opened up, and he is much more clever than before. Getting married is a very cumbersome thing, there are a lot of things to buy, such as wedding tents, Xi characters, red lanterns, candles, etc., and I also bought a red cloth to make clothes for Li Cheng, and I wanted to order wedding cakes when I pulled the quilt, but Wang decided to do it himself in order to save money.
After buying all the things, Lin Xue found that she couldn't take it at all, so she hired a carriage to send the two back. In the car, Zhao looked at the things he bought and sighed. "The old man is really eccentric, when we got married, there were these things, and Li Cheng had this dignity to let the old man do it, and when it comes to the future, our children will not have such a good fate."
Lin Xue smiled, what is this, her child will definitely be ten times better than this in the future, "Second sister-in-law, don't be discouraged, we can do a lot for the child with our own efforts in the future." ”
Zhao thought for a while and shook his head, "How much does it cost me to have my three sons do a lot of things, and it is impossible to have the help of the old man at that time." ”
"Second sister-in-law, haven't you thought about working hard yourself?" Lin Xue frowned, all of them stared at the old man, but can the silver be divided like that?
"No matter how hard you work, the land at home is so little, you have to hand over the money if you don't divide the family, and you can't earn much for a year, so you can barely make ends meet, and you can't save money at all." Zhao spread out his hands, "But that piece of red fruit is worth a lot of money, and you must fight for more if you divide it." ”
Lin Xue found that these people thought the same, they would only stare at the only thing at home, and never thought of going out to hit a piece of the sky, even Li Qi was like this, he only knew how much to work hard and how much he harvested, it all depended on God's face, and he never thought about relying on manpower to change all this.
"Brother and sister, it's time to get off." The two of them went back and forth twice before they finished moving all the things, because Lin Xue hadn't moved out yet, so these things could only be temporarily put in the old man's room, and they would be arranged after the house was vacated.
"Third daughter-in-law, these things were bought in the town." The old man asked.
"Third aunt, you go to town." Li Cheng's expression was a little flustered, "It's not that you won't let me go, why do you want to run so far in the village." ”
"The village didn't have all the goods, and it just so happened that the second sister-in-law was going to the town to run errands, so we went together." Lin Xue found a stool to sit down and was tired enough, "Dad, the things are almost bought, and my mother said that I made the wedding cakes myself, so I didn't order them, and the rest of the silver is here." Lin Xue took out the silver and handed it to the Wang family, and the prices of the things were also reported, and the provincial people said that they had hidden the silver.
"I really don't know how to save, ten taels of silver are gone in the morning." Wang muttered quietly, no one dared to say anything about Li Cheng's affairs except for the old man, and she could only complain secretly.
"Third aunt, you didn't encounter anything when you went to town, did you go to East Street?" Li Cheng asked cautiously.
"Nope!" Lin Xue shook her head, "I bought something and came back, and I didn't go if there was nothing I needed to buy on East Street." ”
"Then thank you third aunt, running around for my business, and my nephew will definitely do something for you in the future." Li Cheng patted his chest and relieved himself.
"It should." Lin Xue didn't expect Li Cheng's repayment, it was too difficult, "Cheng'er, don't patronize the marriage, you have to read the book well, don't be distracted." ”
"That's right, Cheng'er, your third aunt's words, you have to remember that reading is important." The old man advised, "Don't worry about us about getting married, just review your homework." ”
"I see, Grandpa." Li Cheng responded.
