Chapter 42: Threats
Fortunately, although Li Xuezhe hit Zhuangzi's head with a hoe and shed a lot of blood, he looked scary but did not hit the most deadly position, and let Zhuangzi escape in a daze.
Zhuangzi's daughter-in-law hugged Zhuangzi in the hospital and cried and laughed, and finally discussed the issue of compensation.
Zhuangzi said that he had nothing to do anyway, just let the Li family lose money. If the government hurts the peace, not to mention, even if it is compensation, it can't be compensated much, it is better for them to ask for it themselves, maybe they can get more benefits.
Zhuangzi's daughter-in-law disagreed at first, her man's injury was like this, although it was not life-threatening, but it was not guaranteed to leave sequelae, in case there was anything in the future, there was nowhere to cry.
But in the end, under the persuasion of Zhuangzi's mother-in-law, his daughter-in-law finally agreed to this statement.
Li House.
"Fifty taels?" Zhang Qiaoqiao screamed, "Can their family be a little more shameless?" But I heard that the strong man didn't have anything to do, so the back of his head was a little broken, and I was embarrassed that the lion opened his mouth to be fifty taels? If that's the case, I can also let Li Xuezhe be beaten by her like that. ”
"Shut up!" Li Haotian was annoyed when he heard Zhang Qiaoqiao's words, and scolded: "You still think you haven't caused enough trouble, do you?" And what does it mean to let Li Xuezhe be beaten like that? Why wasn't it you who was beaten? Li Xuezhe is the only man in our Li family's grandchildren, you don't necessarily know him well, do you? ”
"He's my man, why can't I see him? Didn't I say, old man, the people of your Li family are people, and those of us who marry into the Li family have to be treated as beasts by you, right? Zhang Qiaoqiao said, and looked at her aunts meaningfully.
She has been in the Li family for so many years, and what she has seen the most is that Li Haotian is shouting at the woman who married into their family. Especially Zhou Xinghua of Dafang, that is, Li Xueyan's mother, is the person with the lowest status in the entire Li family.
After all, in terms of patriarchy, Li Youzi is the one who inherited his father best. At this time, Zhou Xinghua did not appear here.
In Li Youzi's opinion, the affairs of the Li family have nothing to do with Zhou Xinghua. She just married into the Li family to do housework for her and give birth to children, and she didn't even give birth to a son and wanted to be regarded as a member of the Li family?
Zhang Qiaoqiao also seemed to find out that Zhou Xinghua was not there, and turned her head to Li Youzi and said, "Uncle, I didn't say you, what do you mean by not letting your aunt come over on such an important occasion?" Aren't those of us who are daughters-in-law the Li family? ”
Li Youzi was dissatisfied: "Is it the Li family that I have the final say?" The question discussed now has nothing to do with her, what do you ask her to come over? ”
"What Uncle said is not right, since it is our Li family's business, then naturally every member of the Li family should participate."
"It's not up to you to decide whether it's right or not!" Li Youzi is dissatisfied with being told what to do and what not to do, especially being said by a junior, which will make him very faceless.
"Okay, okay, is this what we're going to talk about today? Boss, you too, they want the Li family to be involved, so you just call your daughter-in-law over, what's the big deal? Li Haotian was very impatient to hear that they were still arguing about such a trivial matter, so he directly interrupted their conversation.
Li Xueqing quietly glanced at Zhang Qiaoqiao.
If Li Xueqing hadn't secretly come to her to discuss this matter before, she wouldn't have thought of calling Zhou Xinghua over to talk.
Then Li Xueqing told Zhang Qiaoqiao her thoughts, Zhou Xinghua is the softest and best in this family, and asked her to say one and she didn't dare to say two, otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to the county government to beg Li Xueyan to give up suing Li Youzi at that time.
It's the same thing this time, Li Xueqing just said something like this when she talked to Zhang Qiaoqiao, at least she could get a sum of money on Li Xueyan, and Li Xueqing and Li Xueyan had already formed a relationship, and she was happy to see Li Xueyan unlucky.
In fact, there is the most important reason, if they lose money, they will definitely not be able to make up so much silver just for three rooms, where will that money come from? No, you have to go out of the big room and the second room. Now that the two girls in the big room are not there, she is the only one in the second room, and everyone doesn't have much money, so giving money to Li Xuezhe is not so much a loan, but to put it bluntly, it is to give it directly.
Li Haotian wants to protect Li Xuezhe, so can his three sons not follow? At that time, if all the families have to pay, they will definitely suffer from the second room.
So Li Xueqing thought of letting Zhang Qiaoqiao take this opportunity to lure Zhou Xinghua and her two daughters out, so that she could suffer a little less.
Li Youzi called out to the outside of the house, and not long after, Zhou Xinghua came in. She didn't seem to know why she wanted to come in, after all, when she talked about such a big thing before, Zhou Xinghua never had the right to participate.
"Sit and listen, and don't interject if you don't have to speak." Although Li Youzi called Zhou Xinghua in, he didn't intend to give her the right to speak.
And Zhou Xinghua didn't seem to have any opinion on this, just nodded her head, and sat aside without making a sound.
Li Haotian re-spoke, "The other party wants fifty taels, I have already told them all the bad things today, but those two people just have no room to relax, saying that fifty taels is less than a penny, they will go to report to the official." There was really no other way, so I called everyone over. ”
Li Youzi asked, "So what does Dad mean, let's make up this money together?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the dissatisfied voices in the house buzzed, mainly from the second room. The second child said directly: "If this is what my father means, it will be difficult for me to obey my fate." You don't work now, and you don't know how hard it is to earn silver, fifty taels of silver? How many years does it take to plant a few acres of land in our family in exchange for such a small amount of money? It's all for Li Xuezhe to come over, are we still alive? I disagree. ”
Li Xuezhe's father was not to be outdone, "Second brother, what you said is wrong, what's wrong with Zhe'er, isn't he from our family?" For your nephew, you can't afford to be an uncle? ”
"Is this a matter of reluctance? It's because our family doesn't have the money at all, and they didn't even sell me! You might as well let your son go to be locked up for a few days, how much can it do? Your son is so expensive? ”
"Ridiculous!" Li Haotian slapped the table, "Second brother, what are you talking about?" Zhe'er is the only man in our old Li family's grandchildren, if something happens in prison, our family will be doomed! ”
"You don't want to think about giving them all the money, so how are we going to live?!"
"It's everyone who lives together, and it's not just your family who pays for it! To put it bluntly, don't you just don't want to suffer this loss? ”
"I just don't want to lose, what's wrong?"
"You unfilial thing! I ......"
"Dad, grandpa, don't quarrel yet, I have something to say." When they were arguing, Li Xueqing suddenly interrupted their conversation. This has never been done before, Li Xueqing has always been well-behaved and taciturn, and it is impossible for adults to interject when they are talking.
So this time it was Li Xueqing who heard the opening, and the people here were a little surprised for a while.
"What do you want to say?"
Li Xueqing smiled and said, "Grandpa Fang Cai said that this matter is a matter of the Li family, and it should be solved by the people of the Li family, right?" If that's the case, we're here from the Li family, and we're not here? For example, the eldest sister who got married, and Li Xueyan. ”
Li Haotian frowned when he heard her words, the eldest sister Li Xueyue is a member of their Li family, but Li Xueyan was kicked out of the Li family at the beginning, and she is a woman with a child, even if she can barely survive, how much money can she have? Calling her back is the same as not calling her.
Li Xueqing probably guessed what Li Haotian was thinking, and said again: "Grandpa may not know about this, it is said that Li Xueyan opened a stall selling zongzi by herself, and there are more people who go there every day, and she can make a lot of money!" ”
Speaking of this, Li Haotian's eyes lit up, "Really? ”
Li Xueyan smiled: "Really." ”
Zhou Xinghua had been listening to the side, and after knowing that they were playing this idea, she ignored what Li Youzi told her before that she couldn't speak, and hurriedly said: "It's not easy for Yan'er to take the child alone, so don't bother the two of them, okay?" ”
Li Youzi reprimanded Zhou Xinghua dissatisfiedly: "How do you know that they are easy and not easy? Last time, I sued her to the yamen, and I haven't settled accounts with her yet! Shut up, I'm going to count the new and old hatreds together this time! ”
"But ......"
"Shut up and shut up, what are so many things to say?!" Li Youzi's reprimand stopped all of Zhou Xinghua's pleas.
When Li Xueqing found the broken temple, Duan Yunfei happened to be absent. Li Xueyan glanced at the person who came and said with a little surprise: "Yo, did I step on shit when I went out today?" When I opened the door, I saw you as a plague god. ”
Li Xueqing held back her anger and said with a smile: "I'm not here to quarrel with you today, I'm here to find you on business, and I'll go back to Li's house with me." ”
Li Xueyan evoked a mocking laugh, "The Li family? Does it have anything to do with me? The...... Miss, don't think that my surname is Li, and the matter of your Li family is related to me, there are more people with the surname Li all over the world, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin is still surnamed Li, why don't you tell people that you are a descendant of the royal family? ”
Li Xueyan is not stupid, she has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, Li Xueqing came to her at this time and said that it was the Li family's business, it must be that the Li family had an accident but wanted to help. When she had an accident, no one in the Li family except Zhou Xinghua was willing to give her a good face, and now she comes to her when she needs help, is she wronged?
was ridiculed by her, Li Xueqing secretly clenched her fists before she could hold back her temper.
"It's not that I'm looking for you, it's grandpa, and your dad is looking for you. That's all I have to say, it's your own business whether you go back or not. After Li Xueqing finished speaking, she prepared to leave.
"It's good to go, and you are not welcome to come next time."
"Oh yes," Li Xueqing turned around and smiled weirdly, "If you don't go, we don't know what will happen to your mother." Don't you want to go back and see how your mother blames you, a good ungrateful daughter, for ignoring you when she needs help? ”
Li Xueyan was angry from her chest when she said this, she knew that the people of the Li family were shameless, but she didn't know that they could be so shameless.
Use her mother to threaten her to go back and help? Is she the daughter of the Li family or a dog thrown out of the Li family?
Li Xueyan knew that even if she didn't go back, they wouldn't do anything to Zhou Xinghua, but they would definitely pester her endlessly until she agreed to help. In that case, it is better to see what they are going to do before making a decision.
"You go back first, I'll go over later."
