Chapter 639: Old Li Tou's Story II

Lao Li Tou didn't expect that his decision would be supported by the whole family, which made him a lot easier all of a sudden.

It is true that his family is doing well in the village, but Lao Li Tou sometimes feels faceless.

Because there are many people in the village who are soldiers, although some of them are militiamen, but the militia is also honorable.

In the latest recruitment of militia, the third child of the Lao Li family was still not selected.

Now he thinks he can go out and hold his head up.

Although this is an exaggeration, they feel that no one in their family is a soldier, and there is always an indescribable sense of loss in their hearts.

But now, Zhang Yu needs them, and they feel very satisfied.

With everyone's consent, Lao Li Tou went to turn over all the family's money, and then sent it to the county government with his three sons.

When they arrived at the county office, they saw an unforgettable scene.

Here, there was a long queue, and there were many, many people like them, all of whom had money to help Zhang Yu.

Lao Li Tou suddenly felt that his decision was too wise.

Lao Li Tou took the money and lined up with them, and it took a long time to get to them.

Finally lined up, and Lao Li Tou put more than 3,000 copper coins on the table for the people of the government to count.

"Okay, register your name and address."

"This is an IOU stamped by the government, you can come to the government at any time if you need it, and the government will find a way to repay it, if you don't need it urgently, we will return the money to you for a year at most."

The government personnel are already very familiar with the operation, register the information, then issue two vouchers, and finally explain the precautions.

For these things, the county order personally went out.

He deliberately glanced at Lao Li a few more times, although there were a lot of more than 3,000 copper coins at one time, but there were not many, most of them were tens or hundreds of copper coins.

Hundreds of copper coins are not small for ordinary people, many people may have so much money, but like Lao Li Tou, it is still relatively small to take out all the money of the whole family, and most of them will leave some for the family.

But these are not important, through this hot scene at the scene, it can be seen how important Zhang Yu is in the hearts of these people.

"What? I have to pay back the money. Lao Li was stunned, took the voucher in his hand and said, "This money is for Master Zhang, you don't have to pay it back, you don't have to pay it back." ”

The county magistrate was not surprised by Lao Litou's reaction, because he had already dealt with a lot of such things.

He said patiently: "Lao Li, the money was borrowed by Master Zhang, so naturally he has to pay it back, not only to repay, but also to repay the interest together." Everyone knows that Master Zhang has always cared about the people, and will never let the people suffer, let alone take the people's money in vain. ”

After some persuasion by the county order, coupled with the fact that many people lined up behind him, delaying the major event of Lord Zhang, Lao Li Tou left with his three sons.

Before he came, Lao Li Tou never thought that the money could be returned, and many people didn't know that it was just to support Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu has given many people new lives, new lives, and now that Zhang Yu needs it, they should naturally help Zhang Yu, this is a simple logic.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Yu just asked them to borrow it.

Lao Li Tou took his son back and was in a good mood, not because the money could be returned.

Instead, Lao Li Tou kept looking at other people and found that there were not many people like him who took out more than 3,000 copper coins at once.

is not to show off that he has a lot of money, but because he has made a great contribution to Zhang Yu, so he feels that he has more face.

Lao Li Tou went back and killed a chicken at home to celebrate.

Although their family had no money, no one was depressed.

The family has no money, but they have a house, land, and a lot of food, which is a happier life than when they fled the famine.

Lao Li Tou felt very satisfied, and drank two sips of wine.

Two days later, all parts of the country were still enthusiastically going to "donate", which they thought was a donation, because these ordinary people didn't know that Zhang Yu was looking for them to borrow.

Two days later, Lao Li Tou went to work in the field, and a middle-aged woman of about forty came over, and Lao Li Tou was frightened and wanted to throw away the hoe, but the other party had already discovered him, so he could only face it hard.

"Okay, you old Li head, I will tell the third child of your family to be matched, and say that I will give a dowry yesterday, but as a result, your old Li family is all dead, and there is no one."

"How are you going to mess with me as a matchmaker in the future."

"Also, you are humiliating their old Niu family, and everyone is an honest person."

"How good other people's daughters are, now they are going to hang themselves, it's all the sins of your old Li family."

The matchmaker made a fuss, and the team she was very optimistic about felt that this matter was stable, and she went around to talk about it.

As a result, at the time of the dowry yesterday, the old Li family did not move.

This made her embarrassed, and the most important thing was that she felt that she could do it, so she told the Niu family in advance.

Now everyone knows, but Lao Li's family didn't go, which makes people think that what's wrong with the daughter of the Niu family and she is disliked, what can the daughter of the Niu family do.

The Niu family made a fuss, and the matchmaker was immediately startled and hurried over to find Lao Litou.

Lao Li Tou panicked when he heard this.

"Oh, what a sin."

"It's none of the girl's business, it's our family who is sorry for their family."

"What can I do?"

Lao Li Tou didn't expect this to happen, the matter between the two of them was originally not clear, and Lao Li Tou forgot about it.

I didn't expect the matchmaker to publicize the matter to everyone who knew that the Li family didn't go, so it became like this.

"Then you say, why don't you go to the dowry and embarrass the Niu family so much?" The matchmaker asked.

"Oh, my family has no money, and there is no copper plate, where can I go to the dowry, I don't know if things will turn out like this." Lao Li Tou said.

"Quick, come with me to apologize to the Niu family and explain clearly, otherwise if the girl's daughter really hangs herself, we will be guilty." The matchmaker didn't have time to ask why Lao Li's family had no money.

Lao Li Tou threw down the hoe and ran.

Niu's house is in the farm next door, the distance is very close, and it can be reached in more than half an hour.

The two were in a hurry, and they didn't care about the sweat they ran over, this was a matter of human life.

When they arrived, there were many villagers outside Niu's house.

I could vaguely hear crying inside.

"Let one go, let one go." When the matchmaker arrived, she immediately shouted.

"Isn't this the old Li head of the Li family, you still have a face."

"It's amazing that my family built a new house last year."

"The bullying Niu family is an honest person..."

"If you don't make it clear today, I'll arrest you and go to the official..."

Everyone began to shout when they saw Lao Li coming, and this incident was caused by Lao Li's unkindness.

"It's all quiet, let the debut." At this time, the militia captain Zhou Ming came out and shouted.

Zhou Ming is a retired veteran, and one arm is missing, but his prestige is even greater than that of the village chief.
