Chapter 195: The change of my brother-in-law
In the middle of the night, the guards who inquired about the news came back one after another.
Baekyu didn't sleep and sat in the living room all the time waiting.
Bai Yun didn't go to bed to sleep, but stayed with his father all the time. When I was sleepy, I took a nap on my father's lap. When the guards returned, she woke up. Leaned on his father's side and listened to the news from Linzi City.
She is also concerned about the news of her mother and brother, and looks forward to her mother and brother coming back safely. Though! She felt that her mother's love for her brother was far greater than her love for her. But! She still loves her mother. In addition to her father, her mother is her dearest person.
No matter how well the guards treat her, they are all guards after all. There is no blood relationship between them.
There is a kinship between blood relatives and is innate. Two people who are not related by blood, no matter how close they are, they seem to be separated by a layer of something?
"Brother-in-law Linyi, planning to sell his house!" The first guard returned and reported.
"Why did he sell the house?" When Bai Gyu heard this, he was shocked on the spot.
"I heard! After he returned to the Qi Kingdom, he raised money to buy horses. He asked Qi Jun for money, but! was politely rejected by Qi Jun. Qi Jun said! The horse was to be bought, but the state could not afford to buy it now. But! I promise! In the shortest possible time, we were able to raise money to buy a horse......"
"Is this unclear? He just doesn't want to give money? Said the owner.
The owner of this secret home is an old man in his fifties. And! It's a disabled person. His left hand had been severed from his elbow, leaving only one intact right hand. He had no wife by his side, and his wife died of illness from overwork in her early years. There was one son and three daughters. Pity! The only son, who died on the battlefield during his first military service.
He also has a daughter-in-law and grandson, and under the policy of the State of Qi, the daughter-in-law remarried with her grandson.
Qi has a forced birth policy, which does not allow widows to have children. Otherwise! Taxes you will be increased and you will be forced to remarry.
Every time there is a war, countless men have to die. So! All fertile widows must remarry within a specified period of time. After the war, a fertile man could marry several wives (widows).
Under normal circumstances, women who remarry in the past live independently. Men generally only provide seeds and are not responsible for raising them. Another reason is that most of the men who can live in the countryside are survivors of the battlefield and are disabled.
So! It's impossible for you to let a man with a disability take on the burden of the family. Generally, these disabled men who have survived the battlefield are on state pensions. They can survive as long as they are able to take proper work and add a pension. The purpose of their survival is to provide seeds for women......
The owner's three daughters often come back to visit their dad and take care of his dad's life. And according to the laws of the Qi Kingdom, at his age, he also needs to take on the task of providing seeds.
So! The owner of the house is in the village, and there are several wives' rooms. None of these wives need him to take care of them, he just provides seeds.
Because of his disability, he was unable to take care of his children. So! With the help of Baekyu. Ultimately! Become a diehard loyalist of Baekyu.
Bai Gui was silent, looking at the guard, wanting to hear the following.
"My brother-in-law had no choice but to come back and sell the house. Other than that! He also actively raised supplies, looking like he was giving up his small family to take care of everyone. I heard people in Linzi City say that my brother-in-law Linyi is crazy. Completely stupid, they all scolded him for being stupid! ……”
"I hope my brother-in-law is not stupid!" Baekyu said.
Bai Yun blinked his big eyes and looked at the excited guard. The guards said that her uncle was stupid, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"Someone heard that my brother-in-law Linyi was going to sell the house and buy horses for the Qi country. Ostensibly, they support it and plan to buy the house. In fact! These people have the mentality of watching jokes and go to talk to their brother-in-law about buying a house......"
"So? Is there a deal? The owner asked.
"Where did you buy it?" The guard continued: "Brother-in-law's Linyi's house, that is the best house in Linzi City, a little lower than the Qi Palace. So! The average person can't afford it. ”
After a while, another guard came back and reported: "Someone may want to trap the brother-in-law, and several families are partnering to buy the house." But! Money is still not enough. In order to sell the house and buy a horse, the brother-in-law had to lower the price! ……”
"He's lowered?" The first guard asked anxiously.
"Where! In order to sell the house, he moved all the furniture in the house. Before! He sells dates throughout his family. Right now! Others couldn't afford it, so he had to move everything he could. Only in this way can it be lowered. Others can afford it, and he doesn't suffer a loss......"
"This Linyi? His family is so rich? The owner listened and was surprised.
"Where! Aren't they all white officials? The white official transferred all his father's property to him. To know! His father went bankrupt that year. That's it! It was all earned by the white officials who helped him earn it back. Alas! This brother-in-law! I don't know what to do! He also cheated on his sister and his brother-in-law! Is! ”
"Damn it!" The owner said angrily.
The guards who came back at the end inquired thoroughly, and the brother-in-law's house was sold, and the furniture was also sold. And also! Some of his family's fixed assets, such as shops, inns, and wine stores, were also sold at a discount. Gather all the money and give it to Qi Jun, and let Qi Jun buy horses.
Qi Jun was very moved by his brother-in-law's behavior, and did not accept it at first, but only accepted it under the persuasion of his brother-in-law.
"Good! You are the number one loyal merchant in Qi country! The widow remembers you! Someone! Go and tell the Cheetah team that you are not allowed to move Linyi in the future! He is the hero of our Qi country! ”
Qi Jun's words and actions made his brother-in-law Lin Yi grateful.
"Lord! Woooooo Lord! Linyi is a native of Qi country, and he should do his best for Qi country, and he should be there! As it should be! Woooooo Lord! ……”
After listening to the guard's words, the owner of the house said: "It seems! This brother-in-law is going to be a dog in a down-to-earth manner! Alas! ”
Everyone looked at Bai Gui and waited for his attitude.
Bai Gui hugged Bai Yun, glanced at everyone, and said, "Maybe?" The brother-in-law is gambling. ”
"Bet?" The crowd was puzzled.
"Bet!" Bai Gui nodded and explained, "Can he do it if he doesn't bet?" If he doesn't show his loyalty to Qi Jun, can he do it? No amount of your possessions in the presence of the king is necessarily yours! If he wants to, he will find any reason and eat you. So! The brother-in-law took the initiative to sell the family property and handed it over to Qi Jun, which is better! ……”
"This?" Everyone thought about it and thought it was too!
"I wish he wasn't here to be a dog, but to be free! That's the only way! has no property, so he is not ostentatious. Later! Others won't know where Linyi's family lives, and they won't be able to find him......"
