Chapter 22 Cousin (Second Update, Ask for Collection, Recommend Votes)

Zhou Tong, as the big shopkeeper of the Li family's salt shop, has a lot of salt in his hands, and it just so happens that he is a person who does not want to die, and he can do things that violate the law for a little silver.

Such a person should have been rich and noble, but after the government confiscated his family property, many creditors flocked to him.

The shopkeeper of Zhou Da has always been very arrogant, and he has debts in many places.

Twenty-five thousand taels, this amount of money was not too much before the incident, but Zhou Tong ended up with an army, and the Zhou family asked the county lord to copy it clean.

Although Li Ling did not plan to return to the courtyard of the Zhou family, the officials still regarded it as the property of the Li family, sealed the gate with a paper seal, and only waited for Li Xiu to take over the courtyard.

Zhou Tong's wife and children were kicked out, and there was not much silver on him, so it was not easy to repay the huge sum.

The nine-year-old son watched as he fell from his pampering into the abyss, and the little one could only cry with his mother.

The thirteen-year-old daughter is even more anxious, and there are always some lustful creditors staring at her and her mother with bright eyes.

She thought of her cousin, and her childhood sweetheart, the second young master of the Li family, and the two families had also discussed family affairs, and the two of them were ignorant and had some feelings.

Li Ming was surprised. I didn't expect my uncle, who has always been beautiful, to owe so much debt outside.

It's just that his status in the Li family is not what it used to be, where can he get so much silver. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he borrowed usury. 25,000 taels to repay the debt, and 3,000 taels to buy a small yard for my cousin's family, so that they can finally have a place to live. "So that's the case, if you didn't say it earlier, your aunt is also my elder, and I won't embarrass you if I say it!" Li Ling comforted Li Minglai without thinking, his younger brother was able to do this, and Zhou Tong didn't hurt him in vain.

Li Ming was very grateful to Li Ling, it was he who kept his privacy and didn't let himself say these things on the spot, and when he was only facing him, Li Ming felt unhappy.

Remembering that it was really too much for him to deal with him with his uncle, the wealth of the Li family would only be used more reasonably in his hands.

The debt of 30,000 taels of silver was repaid by Li Ling casually, and he didn't even ask too much about the whereabouts of the silver. This made Li's father appreciate it very much, and it also made Zhou's mother and son even more worried.

He won't have a back hand, and it wasn't until a few days later that Li Ling still didn't mention the matter of the silver, and the Zhou family put his heart in his stomach. "Take me to see it, if you can do your best, after all, it's because of my Zhou family that I fell to this step!"

The two quietly slipped out of the door, and after making sure that no one was following them, they walked forward quickly, got into a narrow alley and never came out again, and finally arrived at Fugui Lane.

"Fugui Lane" is people's joking name for this street, here is very close to the county's first green building "Dark Fragrance Pavilion", rich people are mostly in the outer room here, and they are fed up with the tigress's anger at home. It's also a special taste to come here for a night or two.

Li Ling was silent all the way. It was not easy for three thousand taels of silver to find a courtyard in the city, and it was no wonder that they shifted their attention here.

"I've heard that the official has found more than 100,000 taels of silver from your house, and you must give me 20,000 taels as compensation, otherwise I will go to the yamen to sue you, and you won't be able to give it when the time comes!"

"Why, you said that it was my lord's outer room? Even if you really are, our mother and daughter have no money, and if it weren't for that, we wouldn't have moved to this place! ”。

"Who believes you when you say this, this is just an expedient measure, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, doesn't that dead ghost in your family leave something valuable?"

When Li Ling and the two entered a small courtyard, they were lucky to witness the quarrel between the two women, as if they both had something to do with Zhou Tong.

Li Ming's head "buzzed", wasn't the bewitching/enchanting woman who was arguing with his aunt their neighbor? Could it be that she is really her uncle's outer room, and there is really such a coincidence in the world?

Her cousin hid behind her mother with her brother in a trembling way, and this woman had been relatively friendly with them for the previous few days, but when she knew that her cousin had paid off their debts, she immediately changed her face.

Li Ming's arrival brought infinite confidence to the little girl, and she came to her younger brother and walked over quickly: "Brother, this woman has to say that she is her father's outer room, she wants us to give her thirty taels of silver every month!" ”。

The little girl was very aggrieved and said that the family was almost unable to open the pot, where did she get the money.

She only cared about greeting her cousin, and suddenly found that there was another person behind Li Ming, she naturally recognized Li Ling as the eldest young master of the Li family, and also the person who caused her father to be convicted by the yamen, and the little girl didn't know how to deal with it.

"Hey, it turned out that the little lover came over, no wonder he was so arrogant!". The demon/glamorous woman is sarcastic when she speaks, and she is ruthless.

Li Ling and Li Ming were extraordinary, brightly dressed, and looked like everyone's sons, she was empty-hearted: "I don't know, who are these two sons, and do they have anything to do with the Zhou Wang family?" ”。

"I'm Li Ming, my aunt's nephew, this is my eldest brother, and I'm Xiucaigong!" Li Ming took the first step to introduce the identities of the two, and specifically mentioned the clone of his brother Xiucai.

The woman really knew the identities of the two, she couldn't stop looking at the two, but she guessed in her heart, they all said that the eldest young master of the Li family and the second young master were not in harmony, and he not only removed Zhou Tong, who was powerful in the Li family, but also completely took over the financial power, I don't know what he has to do here?

Zhou Wang was also stunned, this Li Xiucai is a ruthless person, it only took him a few days to see through her husband's tricks and send him to the execution ground.

"Auntie, don't get me wrong, my eldest brother just came to take a look, after all, 30,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, you must give the Li family an explanation!" Li Ming hurriedly explained, but don't make any more misunderstandings.

Zhou Wangshi let out a slow breath, and glanced at Li Ling with a complicated expression, she has always been against her husband's greed/dirt on the Li family's money, Old Man Li trusts Zhou Tong so much, if he engages in conspiracy and trickery in private, he is indeed sorry for the Li family.

"Since it's a member of the Li family, then ask the second son of Li to make up for the money owed to me, if you want to talk about it, Cuilian is still the aunt of the second son, don't hurt the harmony!" Cuilian said in a calm tone, her attitude softened, as long as she could get the silver, who would want to have a hard fight with the Li family?

Li Ming's face changed, he didn't expect his uncle to be so confused, and he also gave her a piece of paper, the content on which made him feel even more uncomfortable, his uncle not only helped her redeem herself, but also promised to give her a living allowance of thirty taels a month, which was higher than the main room, if she let her aunt know, how could she not be sad?

"We won't give you thirty taels of silver a month, but these two courtyards can be left to you! The Li family can only give you this condition at most, and the Zhou Wang family can't afford it, if you don't accept this condition, just go to the yamen to complain! ”。

Zhou Tong is also true, when he was ambitious, he only cared about his own pleasure, but he left such a big hidden danger to his wife and children, this woman is not a real person at first glance.

"Since the eldest prince said so, the little girl had no choice but to admit it, but she just asked the sister of the Wang family to move out as soon as possible!"

The two courtyards were worth five or six thousand taels, which was already a great fortune for her, and she never thought of taking so much from the Zhou Wang family. She once again confirmed that Li Ling was not joking with herself, and left the courtyard with a smile on her face.

"This courtyard is given to her, so what about my aunt and cousin?" Li Ming was a little surprised, he didn't expect his brother to send this courtyard out easily.

Li Ling raised his eyes and looked at the small courtyard, it was messy, although the government had raided the Zhou family, but there were still a lot of furniture left, Zhou's mother and daughter felt that these were also wealth, so they moved them all back.

"Let them move back to their original courtyard, this is not a place for serious people!".

By chance, he thought of Zhou Tong's request for himself, and he could help them a little.

Zhou Wang's face turned red, this is indeed not a good place, the drunken villain broke in several times, and she scolded him. Being able to move back to her original home, that's what she couldn't ask for.

"Thank you, big brother, I'll find someone to help my aunt and mother move another day!" Li Ming said gratefully.

The house where the Zhou family lived was awarded to the Li family, and Li Ling had the right to let the Zhou Wang family live there.

Thank you for the reward!
