Liu Ya asked with a smile, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes.

The woman shuddered with fright, perhaps because it was so cold on the ground that she felt chills down her back.

But Liu Ya just asked, and didn't plan to entangle with the woman more, so she didn't have to waste time and tongue.

Liu Ya sneered and said impatiently: "If you want to solve this matter, go and ask the village chief and the patriarch to come over." Otherwise, you will stand in my yard for a few days, and you will not even think about taking a pill, otherwise you will see you in the government. ”

Some people were afraid of causing trouble and wanted to get the medicine, so they quickly went to tell the village chief and the patriarch about it.

Afraid that Mrs. Wang would freeze, Liu Ya went into the house and took a soup woman and a quilt to keep the old man warm, and asked Liu Miao to send a pot of hot water.

After the village chief and the patriarch arrived, Liu Ya said: "Come into the house and talk about it, this matter can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences." But so many people are in my yard, affecting the normal life of my family, and it is troublesome for them to leave first. ”

After the village chief knew that the Liu Wang clan had agreed to the patriarch's requests, he had been holding his breath, but he couldn't fight with the patriarch, which would be just the right time to vent.

"What are you doing here? Really want to grab something? Hurry all home, and I'll tell you when I have the results. ”

The village chief screamed, and the women were so frightened that they all walked away, and no one dared to make any more moves.

The patriarch and the village chief were invited into the house where the Liu Ya sisters lived, and Liu Ya said to the coachman by pouring water: "Please move these boxes to the warehouse, and move the rest of the things to that house. ”

The two coachmen couldn't leave immediately, and seeing that Liu Ya gave a lot of wages, they were willing to help.

"The eldest sister will also go over after sending her grandmother to the house, you are the owner of those lands, and only you can be the master."

After helping Mrs. Wang get out of the car, Liu Ya said to Liu Ye.

"Okay." Liu Ye responded, she had to share the burden of the family.

When they entered the house with hot water, they didn't know what the patriarch and the village chief said, and their faces were not very good-looking, but they didn't mention it to Liu Ya, so Liu Ya didn't ask.

After pouring a cup of hot tea for each of them, Liu Ya looked at the patriarch and asked, "Does the patriarch know how much silver I spent on these medicines?" ”

The patriarch had never bought a medicine, so he couldn't answer.

Liu Ya continued: "Not counting what I bought in the town, and not counting what our family found in the mountains, it cost more than six hundred taels of silver. This is just the money for the medicine, not counting the money I asked someone to find a relationship to get in, and it doesn't count the cost of transporting it back. ”

"Why so many? Isn't it just a wagon? The patriarch asked in surprise.

According to Liu Ya, all the medicines add up to eight hundred taels if not one thousand taels, which is the largest amount of silver that the patriarch has ever heard of in his life.

"How many medicines I bought, there are accounts in the pharmacy, and the patriarch can ask people to inquire if he doesn't believe it. Medicinal varieties are more expensive than medicinal herbs, and the patriarch may wish to think about how much money it would cost if the medicine was made into a car. ”

After Liu Ya finished speaking, he took a small sip of hot tea with a teacup, and the fatigue along the way was a little lighter.

Sure enough, I still feel good at home, but it's a pity that I encountered such a bad thing.

"Your mother has agreed, what do you want to do about this?"

The patriarch asked after being silent for a long time, obviously still wanting Liu Ya to send medicine seeds for free.

"The mountains belong to my eldest sister, I have no right to call the shots, and only my eldest sister is qualified to call the shots, it's impossible for the patriarch not to know this, right? Did you ask my eldest sister what she meant? ”

Liu Ya asked with a light smile, her eyes drooping to hide the mockery.

The patriarch's face was not good-looking, but the village chief's face was clear, which showed that he did not approve of the patriarch's practice of bullying the third room.

"The ...... of that medicine"

"If there are villagers who need medicine, I won't make much money, just earn three or five dollars a catty. After all, it's not easy for me to buy medicines, and I don't have enough for them.

I can't buy it in the pharmacy in the town and Honghu County, and I don't know what the price is in the next place, but I think it's expensive, so I can buy it outside. ”

After Liu Ya finished speaking, he looked at the Liu Wang clan who hated to bury his head, and moved his gaze to the patriarch who was thinking.

Liu Ya didn't have the patience to wait for the patriarch to think about how to calculate their family, so he asked: "Patriarch Grandpa, if you talk about this matter from your heart, if it were Patriarch Grandpa, would you agree to give away thousands of taels of silver for nothing?" ”

"It doesn't take that much, and the family in the village can plant two acres of land at most." The patriarch obviously hasn't given up on letting Sanfang send medicine.

Liu Ya smiled angrily and asked: "Our family has no good land, so do the people in the village want the family to give us one acre or two acres of land to plant, and give grain seeds for free?" If that's the case, I'll admit that I'm losing this time, and I'll just exchange it for a year. ”

"What's that? Crops are the foundation of everyone's life. The patriarch said urgently.

"The medicine field is also the foundation of our family, otherwise I spent so much money to buy mountain land, and I bought medicine and hired people. If we don't make money, what do we eat and drink as a family? Who will pay the debt I owe? ”

Faced with Liu Ya's repeated questioning, the patriarch opened his mouth and couldn't find a word of defense.

Village Chief Liu snorted, and seeing that the patriarch was still thinking about speaking, he said, "Liu Ya girl is right, whose family doesn't live?" Why do you let a girl put on so much silver? That's not a few dozen papers, and we may not be able to save that old in our lifetime. ”

"You and Sanfang sold vegetables for a winter, don't you be too embarrassed to say this? Why am I doing this? Don't you want everyone in the village to get rich? The patriarch choked at the village chief.

"Yes, our family buys vegetables with Sanfang, and we have made a lot of money this winter. But Patriarch, why don't you want to think about why? ”

Village Chief Liu has always felt that he has failed to benefit the people in the village, and he is not a qualified village chief.

But hearing what the patriarch said, Village Chief Liu lost his temper, stood up and said: "What kind of life has Sanfang had over the years, how did you survive until now after being driven out, don't say that you don't know the patriarch?" ”

"But what did the people in the village do? When Sanfang had something, no one helped him, but the old Liu family said a gossip, those girls who originally helped Sanfang to work didn't dare to come over, forcing Sanfang to lose a money-making job, this is all true, right? ”

"Who is to blame for their own misconduct? Why don't you gossip about others in the village? The patriarch said coldly.

Liu Wang raised his head sharply and shouted, "We don't have it!" They are all harmed, they have wronged us, and they can't see a good life in our family! Our mother is innocent, and there is no indiscretion! ”

Holding Liu Wang's hand, Liu Ya looked at the patriarch coldly, this was the first time she knew that the patriarch had such a mind.

"Can you believe what those long tongues say? Sanfang doesn't even go out on weekdays, if it's really that kind of person, can he still work all day long to make hard-earned money? These words can force people to death! ”

Village Chief Liu looked at the patriarch in disappointment, and only felt a chill in his heart when the patriarch said such words, and finally understood why Liu Ya was unwilling to help the village.

The patriarch also knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he was reluctant to apologize.

Liu Ya sneered: "Since the patriarchs think so, then there is nothing to talk about." What my mother said before is not counted, this year to plant medicine fields, our family will go to other villages to hire long-term workers, and it is better not to have contact with the people in the village in the future, and the province will ruin everyone's reputation! ”

"Do you want to stay in the village anymore?" The patriarch asked with a cold face.

"The homestead was bought legally, I can live if I want to, and if I don't want to live in the town or county, it's better than being scolded for nothing."

The cold gaze fell on the patriarch, and Liu Ya said angrily: "I don't want to hear such words again, otherwise I don't mind going to sue the official." Slandering the innocence of women from good families and sentencing them to exile is light! ”
