Chapter 2 The Ma family withdraws from the marriage
As soon as these words came out, the third uncle turned his eyes to Li Zhixuan.
Li Zhixuan's eyes rolled, so he said: "This ...... In recent years, the people in the clan have prospered, and the idle houses have been divided. Only two empty houses remained outside the ancestral hall. If the sister-in-law doesn't dislike it, she can settle down there. β
"The shabby house at the door?"
"It's windy enough to blow down there, right?"
"Where can people live? It's too ruthless! β
As soon as Li Zhixuan's voice fell, the lively neighbors immediately whispered.
The third uncle glanced at Li Zhixuan deeply, and Li Zhixuan hurriedly whispered: "It is true that there is no vacant house." Moreover, if the sinners of their family live too well, the people of the clan are only afraid that they will be unhappy and will be embarrassed in the future, and they will also be sad. β
The third uncle nodded, acquiesced in his words, and said to Mrs. Li: "Li Li, you go and pack up your things, and solve this matter today." β
"Third Uncle Qi," a flowery woman next to Li Zhixuan spoke, and everyone saw that it was Li Zhixuan's wife, Cao.
"The belongings in the main house are all owned by the clan, and theirsβ" she glanced at Mrs. Li with a look of contempt, "and there's nothing to take." β
The crowd was in an uproar again. Is this to let the orphans and widows leave the house?
The third uncle raised his head and glanced at everyone, and his majestic gaze immediately suppressed the whisper. The third uncle said lightly to Mrs. Li: "You go and see what is left, pick it up and take it." β
He pointed to a young man behind him and said, "Ah Zhang, you go and take a hand." The young man nodded in response. Everyone whispered two words, and they all dispersed.
A few people returned to the main house, and Li Jingshan hurriedly beckoned her younger brother to bring everything she could. In fact, there is nothing to clean up, and the valuable antique ornaments have been taken by the mother, which is nothing more than some pots and pans, bedding and clothes for daily use. But the days to come will be sad, and these can't be wasted.
Mrs. Li didn't know what to do with the house, but she saw that her daughter didn't even let go of a set of fine porcelain tea sets on the table, and packed all the rice, noodles, vegetables and vegetables in the small kitchen, she was dumbfounded.
In the past, because her husband was the head of the family, their mother couldn't even recognize whether wheat seedlings or leeks were planted in the field outside the door, and they didn't think about how to live on their own. Otherwise, as soon as her husband was imprisoned, she would have lost her backbone and let others bully her like this.
But now that I look at my daughter, it seems that she has changed someone, is it that people often say, poor children are in charge of the house? Thinking of this, Mrs. Li couldn't help but cry again.
Li Jingshan didn't have time to pay attention to her mother's tears. She knew that the opportunity to collect things was just like this, and when they left the gate of the Li family, they didn't want to take another one from here. At this time, what kind of face do you care, the inside matters!
After she finished the main house, she went to see the study, and collected the pen and ink of those books, the valuable things had already been taken away, and the paper, pen and ink of the second uncle they couldn't look down on. But for Li Jingshan's family, it is of great use. At least my brother still has to study.
She thought about it and turned to the sewing room, and despite everyone's disdainful eyes, she took the sewing basket in its entirety before she went out unsatisfied. She turned around the rooms a few times to make sure that nothing was left behind, and then nodded to Ah Zhang, who had been waiting by the door, "Brother Li Zhang, I have a lot of work for you." β
"Just call me Azhang." Li Zhang came over and picked up the heaviest two bags of things and walked out first.
Li Jingshan looked at the back of Ah Zhang's promotion, and her mood was complicated.
Li Zhang is a side branch of the Li family, and he is a cousin of Li Jingshan. Because it is not a descendant, even the word "Jing" is exempted when the name is taken. But it was such a distant Li family, who was so weak that even their blood was weak, that they extended a helping hand to them, but their own second uncle acted so ruthlessly.
Li Jingshan thought so, and also walked out with two bags of clothes, but she didn't think about it and walked two steps, when suddenly her eyes were flowered, her body was weak, she fell down, and she didn't know what to do.
The thought she had at the moment before she fainted was: dizzy again? Can you wake up and wear it back?
------
As it turned out, she was overthinking.
When Li Jingshan opened her eyes again, she was lying in the dilapidated house of the neighborhood, which could be blown down by the wind.
When Mrs. Li saw her wake up, she burst into tears of joy with joy: "My son, you have suffered!" β
Li Jingshan rolled her eyes at the fact. While drinking the white porridge boiled by her mother, I listened to her talk about the situation of this "new home".
It turned out that when she woke up from her injury that day, she was dragged to the ancestral hall, fought with the Li family for a long time, and ran to pack her things, her weak body couldn't bear it, and she was dizzy for four days. Fortunately, the doctor said that it was just weak, so it was no big deal.
"Fortunately, with Ah Zhang's help, this house was also repaired and tidyed up by him, so he could barely live in it." Mrs. Li sighed.
"Brother Azhang also helped me chop the firewood in the room." The younger brother Li Jingjue also said doggedly.
Li Jingshan scooped up the porridge and ate it slowly, as she looked at the houseβit was indeed "barely inhabitable": the roof that could leak the light had been clearly repaired, and the crumbling windows had been tidied up and could barely be closed. The furniture in the room is in tatters: the table is full of insect eyes; A chair has a leg shorter; The bed underneath him was also a hardwood plank with hastily laid bedding. The rest of the house is even more insignificant.
But at least there's a place to stay.
Li Jingshan nodded, "Brother Li Zhang's love can't be white-collar, let's find a chance to pay it back in the future." "Mother, you said that you hired a doctor for me, where did you get the money?" β
Mrs. Li dodged her eyes and whispered, "This...... You don't care. β
Li Jingshan thought that she might have taken something close to her again, sighed, and said, "Mother, don't worry. When I'm well, I'll go to Ma's house to think of a way. Back then, my father ordered me to be a baby kiss with his young master, and they would never sit idly by. β
When Mrs. Li heard this, she took her hand in a panic, "Don't go, listen to your mother, you must not go!" β
Li Jingshan was startled, and was about to ask what was going on, when she heard someone outside the door: "Is anyone there?" I'm the housekeeper of the Ma family, and I'm here to send the divorce papers! β
The person who came was wearing a blue-gray satin gown, and he looked like a housekeeper, but he was polite. Saluted to Mrs. Li and said: "I am the housekeeper of the Fengcheng Ma County Order, because my lord and your lord Li Zhiyuan Li have a friendship of the same year, and the two are friendly, so they have formed a century-old relationship with Ling Qianjin." β
He took out the document from his arms and handed it over with both hands, "But now that Master Li has been convicted and died, the Ma family is innocent, and he will never marry a criminal minister again." Therefore, the party sent a divorce document, and the two families broke off this marriage today, and from then on, the man and the woman married, each with nothing to do! β
Mrs. Li's face was pale, her body was shaky, she looked at the document with tears in her eyes, and her trembling hand could not be stretched out.
Li Jingshan reached out next to her to take the paperwork, opened it and glanced at it, hooked the corners of her mouth and sneered: "It's a good man to marry a woman, each has nothing to do with it." Dare to ask the housekeeper, my father was good friends with Master Ma back then, and even confiscated the deposit and helped him design many sets of exquisite jewelry. I helped build two of them. β
Li Jingshan looked at the housekeeper and said, "At that time, it was said that I would be a member of the Ma family sooner or later, and these gold and silver jewelry would be used as a dowry. Now that this marriage can't be consummated, can I get those dowries back? β
