Chapter 23 Both hard and soft
Cao Li thought that if he really persuaded Ling Xiu'er to release Li Feng, then he would be the number one benefactor of the Li family, and he would be reckless in front of the Li family.
Ling Xiu'er didn't admit that she was a family with the Li family, and asked instead: "Big brother, you forgot how Li Feng threatened you and put the knife on your neck!" Is there such a family? ”
Of course, Cao Li didn't forget!
was also annoyed when he was told about unbearable memories, but he hated not Li Feng, but Ling Xiu'er, who poked his pain points, "You cold-blooded woman, make our family uneasy every day!" Since you don't want us to be happy, then don't think about it either! ”
Cao Liang said as he pushed Ling Xiu'er down in the back room, then closed the door and added a lock to the outside.
He coldly put down his words: "If you don't intercede, don't think of it yourself!" ”
Li Shi looked at Cao Li, a little relieved, "Xianggong, it's still your idea." ”
Cao Liang sneered in his heart, he didn't really contribute to Li Feng's affairs, he hadn't forgotten the shame that Li Feng gave him before.
However, he would not show it on his face, and said with a sneer: "Lady, I look at this brother-in-law's affairs are also a little tricky. Ling Xiu'er is just a woman's family, where can she have such a great ability! I see, it's because my younger brother is cautious and refuses to let go of my brother-in-law. ”
The Li family and the Li Zhao family also felt reasonable when they heard it, and now there is only Cao Li, the eldest brother, who hopes to move Cao Yu, could it be that Cao Yu will not even listen to his eldest brother's words?
"Xianggong, what do you say?"
Li's words were in Cao Li's arms, he raised his head, and pretended to be majestic: "That's it, I'll go to the county school to find Cao Yu, in the end I am his brother, he doesn't dare not give me face, it's just ......." He made a look of embarrassment again, "Since it is asking Zhuang Yuanlang to do things, just the favor is a little too thin, so I still have to prepare a generous gift and make a table of good wine and food." ”
Cao Li's words couldn't be clearer, Li Zhao immediately took out the money bag and took out ten taels of silver to Cao Li, "Son-in-law, you use this money first, as long as you rescue my son, I will pay as much as I want." ”
Cao Liang took the money, smiled happily, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, wrap it up on me." After saying that, he swaggered into the county seat.
However, he did not go to the county to study, but plunged into the famous underground money bank in the county, and played with money first.
And Ling Xiu'er was locked in the house, and she pulled the door a few times, but the door could only be opened with a small crack, and the outside was locked to death.
But she quickly calmed down, and it was nothing if she couldn't get out. Xianggong can't wait for her to deliver food, he will definitely come back to her, and Li's paper tiger doesn't dare to do anything to her.
She took out the embroidery bandage with peace of mind and continued to embroider the embroidery that had not been finished a few days ago. Thinking that the peony flowers before were sold at such a good price, she just wanted to embroider more quickly. If she wants to save money, that's all she can rely on.
I don't know how long it took, the light in the room gradually dimmed, and Ling Xiu'er heard the sound of the lock being opened.
Li pinched his voice and gestured, "Yo, my brother and sister are still embroidering so late!" ”
Li looked around to see if she had any finished embroidered products, and squinted at Ling Xiu'er's embroidery that all of Ling Xiu'er's embroidery was still missing, all of which were semi-finished.
Oh, this little hoof is still guarding itself!
Li thought so in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She put the meals on the table one by one, and continued to hypocritically and zealously caring: "I'm hungry after embroidery all afternoon, let's eat quickly." ”
Ling Xiu'er's eyelids didn't lift, she was still busy with the embroidery work in her hands, and she didn't plan to take care of her at all.
"Brother and sister, what conflicts did we have in the past, after all, it was a matter between you and me, if you can't forgive me, then you will be angry with me, why bother to implicate my brother? If you can talk to your husband to release my brother now, I will treat it as if there is no such thing. ”
Ling Xiu'er's work in her hands didn't stop, her good-looking lips opened and closed, and she spit out a few coldly: "You dream." ”
Li's smiling face couldn't hold back any longer, she tore the tablecloth fiercely, the dishes and chopsticks on the table smashed to the ground, and all the food was scattered, and it was a mess.
She laughed angrily, and pointed at Ling Xiu'er with a smile: "Okay, you're tough enough!" Then you just wait to be starved to death! I'll see how hard you can get! Don't expect your father-in-law to come to your rescue, I'm afraid that by the time he returns, you'll be starved into a skeleton with skin and bones! ”
After Li finished speaking, he slammed the door shut, locking the lock.
Cao Yu was flipping through the books in the academy of the county school, a little absent-minded.
Today is the third day, and Ling Xiu'er hasn't come to deliver the food yet, it's not that he will starve to death without this stutter, but this is not like Xiu'er's style of acting. If there was anything else, she would ask someone to bring her over.
Zhang Ze on the side saw Cao Yu turning the pages of the book in distress, his handsome face was almost wrinkled into a bun, and quipped: "Brother Xian, what's the matter?" Can't read the book, just think about the daughter-in-law? ”
Cao Yu pulled her lips and smiled a little reluctantly, "Let Brother Zhang see you smile." Uchiko hadn't been here for a few days, and she hadn't asked anyone to bring a letter, so I was really worried about whether something had happened to her. ”
Zhang Zesi and the petite figure used to gently carry the food box to deliver the food, although the dishes in the food box were simple, it took a lot of thought.
Zhang Ze's eyes darkened, such wholehearted love did not belong to him.
However, he quickly adjusted his mood, "It's true that I haven't seen my brother and sister for a few days. It's better to go home as well as a virtuous brother, and you can rest assured, Master, I will take leave for you. ”
Cao Yu also had this intention, and hugged his fist to Zhang Ze and thanked him: "Thank you Brother Zhang, I will come back as soon as possible." ”
"Go now, go back quickly."
Bidding farewell to Zhang Ze, Cao Yu hurried home, the original road of more than half an hour, due to his impatience, arrived in two quarters of an hour. Even he didn't realize that this little woman had touched his heart so much.
As soon as Li saw Cao Yu go home, he felt a little weak, and hurriedly blocked his way: "Uncle, why did you come back alone?" What about me? ”
At this moment, she hates this Cao Li, and if she wants to come back, why don't she inform her in advance.
Cao Yu didn't pay attention to her at all, didn't even give her a straight look, and walked directly to the room.
Li Shi thought that Ling Xiu'er had been starved by her for three days, so his heart trembled, and he hurriedly stopped in front: "Eh, uncle, my mother is still waiting for you in the room, she thinks you are thinking tightly, you better go and see your mother first." ”
Cao Yu looked at Li's eyes dodging, pushing three and four, and felt bad in his heart, and his icy eyes made Li's body chill. She dodged weakly, and before she stopped it, she was crossed by Cao Yu.
Cao Yu came to the north house, but saw a big lock on the door, and almost instantly the blood in his whole body rushed straight to his head.
Without thinking about it, he slammed the door hard, and knocked the already dilapidated door panel open in a few clicks, only to see that Ling Xiu'er had fallen to the ground, her eyes were closed, and her face was bloodless.
