22. Who is the culprit of harming the Li family?
Liu Ying was shocked when she heard this, even if she believed that the family could do such a thing, she still asked, "But is it really your aunt who wants to sell you?" ”
"I heard with my own ears in a half-dazed and half-awake that my second aunt sold me for a hundred taels of silver, saying that she wanted me to serve Master Zhang."
Qin Wuran cried even more fiercely after speaking, most of the people present were rich ladies who were already mothers or pure-minded, and when they heard this, everyone felt a little bad in their hearts.
The old man of Li Ji Restaurant was seriously ill and was only bedridden for a few days, and none of the three sons in the family began to compete for the family property, but none of them did their filial piety by the old man's side, and when he left, he even asked the family's assistant cook to send a message to his son.
Such unfilial piety spread widely, and everyone thought that the people of the Li family could only do this part, but they didn't expect that Li Man of the Li family would attack his fifteen or sixteen-year-old niece, and even sell her to the notorious Zhang family master as a concubine.
It's disgusting.
Liu Ying is also familiar with the Li family, and she knew early on what the three pairs of uncles and aunts were, so she took a pair of scissors from the maid without saying a word and untied the hemp rope in her hand.
After that, well-meaning people sent soaked handkerchiefs and wound medicine, and finally treated the wound that Qin Wu had stained outside.
"Okay, don't cry, aunt will send you back, I want to see how capable the people of the Li family are, and even dare to do this kind of thing that violates the law." After Liu Ying finished speaking, she took Qin Yingran's hand, her face was cold, and she obviously looked like a teacher asking for guilt.
And the people who got out of the carriage also looked at each other, hesitating for a long time, after all, most of them chose the latter between stepping on spring and watching the excitement.
So the coachman drove the carriage back to the direction of Li's house.
The Li family was doing white things, and there were many people outside who came to mourn, even if Liu Ying wanted to come over to ask for an explanation, he also relaxed when he saw this kind of scene.
The Lin family that Liu Ying married is the richest man in Yuanxi Town, so the Li family, which is only in the middle of the stream, is a little inadequate, and the servants guarding the Li Man's family at the door dare not come out, so they can only salute her very flatteringly.
"I don't know that Mrs. Lin is here to see off my old man today." The servant asked.
It's really ironic to say that Mrs. Li has almost never stopped in his life, but his two sons are more prosperous than the other, not only building a big house, but even using servants.
Thinking of this, Liu Ying was also very disappointed in this family, but said to the servant with some impatience: "Go and ask your uncle to come out, I have to ask them about some things." ”
Although the domestic servant was from Li Man's family, he didn't dare to be the slightest bit snub about Liu Ying's words, and hurriedly went into the house to invite Li De.
Li De didn't actually know that the two daughters-in-law of the Li family were going to sell Qin's daughter-in-law, and at this time, seeing her come back in such an embarrassment, he only felt a little unlucky, frowned and scolded: "Where did you go again?" ”
As soon as Liu Ying heard him open his mouth to reprimand, he didn't get angry, and took the person behind him, "You ask her what she is right, and I want to ask you what you have done to make this little girl almost die of injuries." ”
To Liu Ying, Li De was still a little polite in the end, but the arrogance of the scholar did not allow him to show weakness easily, and said in a decent manner: "This is originally a family matter, and Mrs. Lin is better to mix less into it." ”
"Do you think I want to get involved in this pickled matter?" Liu Ying sneered, "Your family is black-hearted, and you don't even let go of a child, and you have to sell her to a desperate place to be a concubine, but it's really a big face." ”
In the morning, everyone wanted to see the excitement, and when Liu Ying and his party came over, a large group of people gathered around, and they were naturally embarrassed when this remark came out.
Li De was also afraid that this matter would be discredited and his reputation would be dishonored, so he only thought that no matter what the truth was, he had to invite someone in to talk about it first. But Li Man also came out at this time, and when he heard this, he scolded and opened his mouth.
"Don't talk nonsense, who is going to sell you to the Zhang family?"
In a word, it means resolutely not admitting it, Qin Wuran's grievances and anger burst out together, and she immediately replied: "The second uncle and the eldest uncle's mother brought their own teeth in, and the second uncle dares to say that he doesn't know at all?" ”
While talking, the Wang family and the Gao family also came out of it, at this time the former was forced to calm down, but the latter was obviously a little weak-hearted, and a discerning person could see that there was something greasy in it.
"Dead girl, don't talk nonsense, when will I find someone to ask you to sell?" Wang and her husband Li Man are simply a virtue, they open their mouths to scold, and they don't feel that they are unsightly to bite back.
Qin Wuran was so angry that her body trembled slightly, and she stepped forward to reason with her.
As soon as Wang saw that people were about to come forward, he rolled up his sleeves and took a step forward, "The little cheap hoof dares to cross with me now, doesn't he?" Stand with me, and see if I can kill you. ”
Qin Wu's eyes were red, if Liu Ying hadn't stopped her, she would have really wanted to fight with her.
"Since I came to the Li family, I have never done anything unpleasant, why can't my uncle and aunt tolerate me?"
Why can't it be tolerated?
Qin Wuran is not a little girl who doesn't understand anything, and she sees the entanglement of interests very clearly. But although she knew that these two families didn't like her, she never thought that they would do this for the family property.
However, the Wang family, who had done something wrong, still did not have the slightest guilt, pointed at her with one hand on his waist and the other hand, and began to count the years when she had eaten and lived in the Li family, but now she was still uneasy and kind.
Until he didn't scold a word, there was some commotion in the crowd.
"It's really easy for me to find." The person who came was obviously not a good person, and at this time, he pushed aside the crowded crowd and grabbed Qin Yanran's wrist.
Seeing that this was about to sell his own human teeth, Qin Wuran panicked in her heart, and immediately shook it on his hand. The latter was in pain, pushed the person to the ground, and reached out to pull her hair.
A sudden change occurred, and the people around didn't react at first, but at this time, they all came forward one by one to pull back, and finally restrained the man's teeth.
However, he didn't panic at all, and even spat on the ground and scolded: "This hand pays the money and delivers the goods with the other, and there is no reason to take the money back but bring it back." What we are doing is this business, even if the magistrate is here, I can't find fault with me, but you ......"
The man raised his head and stared at the Wang family with a sinister gaze, full of ill intentions, "Either return the money, or let this girl follow me, otherwise you will wait to eat in prison." ”
As soon as these words came out, what else did everyone present not understand? They all pointed at Wang.
Seeing that the Wang family saw that the matter was estimated to be unable to hide it, he pulled the Gao family beside him with the idea of pulling people into the water.
"You were there last night, and now you're pretending to be dumb?"
Gao was originally a cowardly character, and he waved his hand in a panic at this time, but he couldn't argue that he was pulled up at all. What did Li De not understand when he saw this meeting? Immediately gave Gao a slap in the face.
After a farce, it ended with Wang handing over the money, and the man ran in vain with bad luck in his heart, so he stabbed Wang coldly, "If there is such a business next time, you have to remember to find me." ”
Wang couldn't wait for him to leave quickly, scolded twice, and drove everyone away.
Although Yuanxi Town is still wealthy, compared to the surrounding villages, selling children and daughters is actually not a very strange thing, and even if the Wang family does it, they will definitely not be able to sue the magistrate.
It's just that Liu Ying was a little uneasy when she left, so she simply asked the patriarch of the Li family to come over and administer justice, which can be regarded as a little relieved.
"This matter is indeed the fault of your two aunts, but the family does not speak two words, and they will have to live together in the future, so you will be more responsible." The patriarch pointed out that Li De could become an official master, so as to win glory for their Li family, so he didn't want to publicize this matter, so he could only let Qin Wu settle the matter.
If it was before, Qin Wuran would definitely not agree, but at this time, Old Lady Li ascended to the throne and entered the earth for peace, even if he let his spirit in the sky rest, Qin Wuran could only endure it.
"It's not impossible for me not to publicize this matter, but I have a request," Qin Wuran looked at the patriarch, and rarely asked for something for herself that didn't belong to her, "I want Li Ji Restaurant." ”
Hearing this, before the Li family patriarch could speak, Li Man jumped to his feet first, "Li Ji Restaurant is the ancestral shop of our Li family, how dare you hit the idea here?" ”
"Shut up!" The patriarch was thinking about how to persuade Qin Wu to turn a big thing into a small matter, but at this time, what Li Man said was obviously contrary to his meaning, and he couldn't help but reprimand.
However, Li De on the side also disagreed, but compared to Li Man's blind only knowing about sprinkling, it added a bit of high-sounding truth.
"Li Kee's restaurant has been destroyed by you, do you know this?"
Qin Wuran Wenyan was slightly stunned. She naturally didn't believe it, after all, in her opinion, she had been following Mrs. Li to run this Li Ji Restaurant, but Li Man and Li De only knew how to take money from here, so why could he say that he had destroyed Li Ji Restaurant?
However, seeing her face in disbelief, Li De did not mean to speak euphemistically.
"If you make such a fuss today, it will become a complete joke when we leave home, who will come to us to do business in the future? Or did you just want to give this shop a makeover, abandon my father's life's work, and make it your own business? Qin Wuran, your mother is a scourge, and you are the same as her. ”
