Chapter 10: I'll Help You
In the small courtyard of the Jiang family.
Aunt Li snorted and tears and told Jiang Feng and Jiang Xiaoyu everything that had happened in the past few months.
"Jiang Feng, I know, you must be looking down on me now. I think I sold Li Yue just to give my son a way out. I know that's what the people in the neighborhood are talking about me. Aunt Li's eyes were red and weeping, and her voice was hoarse.
Jiang Xiaoyu wanted to scold Aunt Li, because it was Aunt Li who sent away her favorite sister Li Yue. This is unforgivable for ten-year-old Jiang Xiaoyu.
However, Jiang Feng obviously didn't think so, he held down Jiang Xiaoyu: "No, eldest sister of the Li family, don't say these words." What the hell is going on, just say it. Don't say anything about saving people, I'm just a storyteller in Xicheng, and I don't have any ability to save people. ”
"Jiang Feng, I'm also desperate! that Qiao San is really forced, I can't help it!"
It all started three months ago.
Li Yue, this girl is good-looking, so she usually doesn't go out of the door at home. Because the security in the northern city is very chaotic. A beautiful girl like Li Yue is easy to be targeted.
Usually Li Yue does female red embroidery at home. Her hands are very skillful, and many people still like the things she shows. There are quite a few Mrs. Kuo and young ladies in Nancheng who like her embroidery very much.
That day, Li Yue took the things she showed at home to the rich and noble people's houses in Nancheng to watch. A piece of Xiupa can be exchanged for a few gold dollars, and Li Yue is also an important source of income for the family.
As a result, when Li Yue went to the house she frequented that day to sell this wife, she happened to be taken by Qiao San, who came to this house as a guest.
Qiao San is in his fifties and is the owner of a workshop in a steel factory.
Because the steel plant is large, nearly 100,000 people work in the steel plant. Therefore, there are also many job divisions below, which are divided into different workshops according to their functions.
There are large and small people in a workshop, thousands of people in the big ones and hundreds of people in the small ones. Qiao San, as the owner of the workshop, is in charge of more than 1,000 people. It seems that there are not many people, but there are a lot of oil, water and rights.
Because Qiao Sanguan's is a gold mill that smelts gold. Unlike the owners outside who smelted brass, copper, and steel, Qiao San's value of refining a large piece of gold was incomparable to that of a cart of steel outside.
Qiao San is a high-level executive of the steel plant and a confidant of the factory director.
At that time, Qiao San took a fancy to Li Yue at a glance. However, Qiao San is also a face-saving person, and there is no such thing as the one in the small talk book who stepped forward to tease women directly.
Instead, he asked people to inquire about Li Yue's family affairs, and then sent someone to find Li Yue's family to make peace. wants to accept Li Yue as a concubine.
"Little concubine, what's the difference between this and a slave?" Jiang Feng sneered when he heard this and shook his head: "Sister Li, do you know. When a concubine enters the house, it is no different from selling herself as a slave. Under imperial law, children born to concubines are not eligible to inherit the family business. If the concubine violates the law of seven outs, the head of the family has the right to decide her life and death. ”
"Li Yue entered this Qiao San's house, it was life and death. Are you willing to push your daughter into the fire pit?"
Hearing Jiang Feng say this, Aunt Li's tears continued to drip down like broken pearls: "How can I give it up! But what can I do? Qiao San has a big business, he is a high-level of the steel factory, who doesn't give him some face in Jiangcheng if he says something?"
"Jiang Feng, you don't know. After Qiao San spread the word that he wanted to marry my family Li Yue, no one dared to offend my son Li Tian on the dock. It turned out that he was a little slave who worked as a coolie in the Ichthyosaur Gang, and he ate coolie food. As soon as Qiao San's words came out, several leaders of the Fish and Dragon Gang were polite to him, and the work was easier. ”
"And I, too, was washing clothes in Nancheng. I'm just a drifter. But then I don't have to rinse my clothes, I just call some people. ”
"So, you let Li Yue go for a good day like your family?"
"I don't want to! Yue'er was raised by me until I was sixteen years old! But what can I do? The prodigal son of Nancheng said to me, "Today's day is good? Qiao Sanye's words can make you live like soaking in honey, but it can also make you go to the eighteenth layer of hell with one sentence." I was so scared that I didn't sleep for three nights!"
Qiao San is a scheming and skillful person, and he doesn't use any coercion to get the Li family to hand over Li Yue. On the contrary, it makes people treat the Li family well, and it is very good. Finally, I hammer it a little.
Yes, so many people came to stammer. That person is releasing a word, is there countless people stepping on it?
You must know that there is a cost to tie up, and to crack down on a broken household like the Li family, it is not costly at all.
Qiao Sanli didn't act as a bad guy inside and out, but he scared the Li family enough.
And Qiao San did a good enough job on the surface, he showed the ability to make the Li family live a good life. The Li family really has nothing to find fault with. Although Qiao is three years old, he is not a good match for Li Yue. But at this time, can you still care about what kind of match is not a good match?
"Then since Li Yue has already entered Qiao San's mansion. Although you are a concubine, you have Qiao San to protect you, and your life should be better. Didn't your son go to work in the steel factory?" Jiang Feng asked lightly.
Jiang Xiaoyu clenched his fists on the side and did not speak.
Aunt Li shook her head: "Originally, Yue'er had agreed with me and her eldest brother, and she should have repaid me for the kindness of my mother and eldest brother for so many years of nurturing." She was sacrificing herself. ”
"I really don't want Yue'er to leave, but what can I do! The day Yue'er left, I cried into tears, and she comforted me and said, "Mother, I've been to a good day where I have roast chicken to eat, what are you crying about?" This girl is sensible and makes me feel distressed!"
"After she left, I also thought about it, if Qiao San could treat her well and not be mean to her. If you give birth to a child in the future, even if you can't inherit Qiao San's family property, it's always okay for Qiao San to take care of it and arrange a good job. In that way, Yue'er will be able to rely on for the rest of his life. ”
Just five days ago, Qiao Sanfu suddenly notified me to go and get someone. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I didn't know what it meant at first. I didn't know until I went, Yue'er, Yue'er...... She...... She's dead!" Aunt Li said, and she couldn't stop crying.
"The house said that she accidentally fell into a well and drowned while playing in the yard. But when I checked Yue'er's body, there were obviously many marks of being beaten. ”
"And my son Li Tian, who was originally working in Jinfang, but now he was suddenly transferred to push the muck, and there was an accident yesterday. The muck truck weighing more than 700 pounds broke his two legs!"
"This must be Qiao San's ghost!"
When he heard the news of Li Yue's death, Jiang Xiaoyu was already having sparks in his eyes. His fists were pinched until they turned white, and if it weren't for his father beside him, he would have jumped like thunder.
Jiang Feng was silent for a while before he spoke: "Qiao San, can you expect me, a storyteller, to help you?
"No, no, no, Jiang Feng. I want justice for Yue'er's death, at least not so unclear. ”
"Huh?"
"I want to go to the Jiangcheng Yamen to sue Qiao San! But I can't read all the words, and I can't write the complaint well. I found the ghostwriter in the city, and I heard that it was Qiao San of the steel factory. They don't write. I have searched all over the people, and only you are left, and you are still literate and broken, Jiang Feng, sister now, I beg you. Write a complaint for me, or the city government won't accept the case. ”
"It's not that the eldest sister of the Li family doesn't help. But you also know that the ghostwriters in the city don't write for you. I'm afraid I can't help here. I'll go to Yue'er's white business, and I can help if there is anything I need help with. I know a lot of the white shop owner. But I really can't do anything about helping you write the letter. Sister Li, please go back. ”
Jiang Feng rejected Aunt Li, and Aunt Li left the Jiang family like a walking corpse. She glanced at the door, the old house where her family had lived for decades. When I opened the door and entered, a thick layer of ash had accumulated in the house.
Although it is very broken here, it leaks rain in the summer and wind in the winter. But this is my own home! At that time, I still had a pair of sensible children, why was it only a few months, and my daughter's soul returned to heaven.
Pushing open the door of her daughter's room and standing in front of her daughter's dresser, Aunt Li couldn't hold back her crying anymore: "Daughter! Mom is sorry for you! Mom is really sorry for you!"
"You suffered so much when you were alive. Death can't help you avenge it!
"Aunt Li, don't cry. Sister Li Yue's condition, I'll help you write it!" Jiang Xiaoyu's head came out of nowhere, and his eyes burned with rage.
