Chapter 99: Li Xuan's filial piety
Li Shuan returned home with his things, and went to ask a barefoot doctor to treat Li Goudan's injuries.
After some busyness, he stood by Li Goudan's bed.
At this time, Li Dogan had a scruffy beard, greasy hair, and a dirty appearance, but Li Xuan's eyes did not dislike it, but fell into memories......
His father asked the villagers to borrow money to do business, and Patriarch Li and Patriarch Gu served as guarantors to help repay 30 taels, and later the village chief helped repay 20 taels of silver, and the villagers' debts were paid off.
However, the money owed to these three people has not been paid off.
Under the persecution of Patriarch Li and Patriarch Gu, his family's fields were sold, and the silver obtained was also divided between the two.
Now it is only owed to the village chief.
Today, Mrs. Li came again to ask for compensation, and her mother was at home, and she took a broom to blow people away.
Later, he was the only one left in the family, and Mrs. Li saw that she couldn't get the money, so she didn't come to find trouble.
Now that my father is back, if I can't take it out, Mrs. Li may not know how to make a fuss!
At this time, the reputation of his village was already stinking, and no one would stand up to help him.
Therefore, the last hope can only be placed on the village chief.
Although the village chief was calculated by his father, she did not force his father like the big guy, drove his family out of the village, nor did she come to his house to scavenge things, but only cleaned him up when his father made trouble.
That's why he decided to sell himself to her.
At the same time, he believes that the future village chief will be extraordinary.
Li Shuan cut off his memories and told him about selling himself, and seeing that Li Goudan had no reaction, he couldn't help but ask:
"Dad, what are your plans for the future?"
At this time, Li Goudan came over, very unhappy, and wanted to confirm again.
"Did you really sell yourself to the village chief?"
Li Xuan nodded.
Li Goudan got up angrily, patted Li Xuan's head, and in the blink of an eye, he bared his teeth in pain and broke out in a cold sweat, while Li Xuan's head rubbed and looked at it with his eyes, and he didn't think about helping at all.
Li Goudan was lying on the bed again and got angry when he saw Li Xuan's appearance, and wanted to hit someone, but in the end, it was himself who suffered, so he could only stare dryly.
After the pain in his head disappeared, Li Xuan said angrily: "Why did you beat me, if it weren't for you to clean up the mess, I wouldn't be a slave to others, and I would be inferior." ”
"Who are you talking to, you dare to talk to Lao Tzu in this tone, and when Lao Tzu is well, he will beat you up. Now you hurry up to the village chief and say that you are not going to sell yourself. My son of Li Dogan will never be a slave. ”
Although Li Goudan is a scoundrel, he is an outsider, but he still loves his own son very much, and he doesn't want his son to sell himself at this time.
Li Xuan stood there and didn't move, staring straight into Li Goudan's eyes and said: "Be a man to make a promise, since you have agreed, you can't go back, I think it's good to follow the village chief to do things, as for you to do it yourself in the future!" ”
"Stinky boy, are you going to give me a pension?" Li Goudan was angry, he knew that this would happen, he shouldn't have let Li Xuan grow up with his father.
Faced with Li Goudan's menacing questioning, Li Shuan sighed helplessly and said:
"Dad, the village chief said that when I pay off the money I owe her, I will give me the deed of sale, if you feel sorry for me, when you are ready, you can find a serious job to do, and we will pay back the money together, and I will be able to go home and provide for you."
His son did it all for him!
Thinking about it this way, Li Goudan looked at Li Shuan, his clothes were crumpled, and he was still stained with ash, although his hair was not neatly combed, he was finally tied up, and his round face had lost weight twice and became sharper, and the left side of his face and closed were still stained with black soot.
looked dirty, but he suddenly found that his son had grown up overnight, and his admiration for him seemed to have faded, and he was no longer the little doll he let him hold.
Li Goudan opened his mouth, wanting his son to get back the deed of sale, but the words that came to his mouth turned into a silent sigh.
Seeing that Li Goudan suddenly stopped talking, Li Xuan thought that he had just gotten up, tossed to the wound, and his body was uncomfortable, so he asked with concern:
"Dad, are you alright?"
Li Goudan shook his head and said, "I'm tired and want to sleep for a while." Do whatever you want! ”
"Dad, you have a good rest, and call me if you have something." Li Shuan turned and walked out.
Li Goudan lay on the bed alone thinking about what had happened recently, and in the familiar environment, it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.
Li Xuan quietly walked into the room, covered him with the quilt, and turned to leave again.
Li Bolt's action on the quilt was very light, however, Li Goudan was always full of panic because he was locked up in prison, and he was always on guard when he slept, and he didn't slow down when he got home, so he was woken up by Li Bolt's slight movement.
When the people left, Li Goudan opened his eyes, looked at Li Xuan's small back, felt relieved, and smiled.
When he was a child, he disliked the poverty of his family and wanted to get ahead.
After failing to take the Xiucai exam five times, he gave up and began to give up on himself, mingling with those gangsters in the county, not being idle all day, and later his parents took out his life savings to marry him a daughter-in-law.
However, he still did not do his job.
Later, his parents died one after another, so he had no spare money to live like this, and he began to look for work.
When he saw a friend open a shop, he moved his mind.
Send money to the two patriarchs, promise heavy profits, and ask them to help them find villagers to borrow money to open a shop.
After borrowing the money, the grocery store also opened.
At that time, he was very happy, thinking that his life was about to usher in a new change.
However, the shop's business was sluggish, and he was unable to return the money.
So there was a matter of calculating the village chief, but he didn't expect the village chief to help him......
Thinking, thinking, Li Goudan had no sleep, his eyes stared blankly at the roof, thinking about his future.
……
Gu Jinxiu, who was mentioned by the father and son, was in the study at this time.
She casually locked Li Xuan's deed of sale in the cabinet, and she didn't plan to take it to the government to go through the formalities.
Gu Jinxiu was about to leave the study, when she saw He standing at the door about to knock on the door, so she invited her into the study.
The two sat down, and Gu Jinxiu asked, "Mother, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
He Shi said hesitantly: "Jin Hao, can you go and find the ewe again?" After all, for the sake of the dog's reputation, she forcibly forbade Gu Jinxiu to go back to the ewe, and now she asked her to help find the ewe again, and she was very embarrassed.
Looking for sheep? Gu Jinxiu looked at He Shi suspiciously.
He said angrily: "Our family temple is small, and we can't accommodate the big Buddha of Zhuang's." ”
Gu Jinxiu raised her eyebrows, what happened to make the He family drive away the Zhuang family?
Although curious, Gu Jinxiu didn't ask.
"Mother, this sheep is not easy to find, I will look for it when I have time." Last time, she was going to get the sheep back, but He didn't let her, and now she wants the sheep, where can she go to find it.
Most of the sheep are shipped from the north, and the sheep are not popular in the south, so they are very rare, making the ewe even more difficult to find.
