Chapter 204: Blackmail

Li Yue had a teachable expression on her face, and said with a smile, "Yes, and don't be polite to him, ask for a little more, and when you have the capital, I'll tell you what to do." ”

Yi'er nodded, "I'll try." She didn't know if she wanted to come back.

Li Yue asked with some curiosity, "By the way, how did you and Zhou Huaijin meet?" ”

Yi'er was silent for a while, sighed, and then said, "Actually, my brother and I are both criminal slaves, when my father worked in the household department, he was involved in a corruption case, and was robbed of his family and exterminated, and the underage child escaped and became a criminal slave and exiled, and the person who copied my family back then was Zhou Huaijin, but he did not exile me and my brother, but became his domestic slave." ”

Listening to Yi'er's words, Li Yue said apologetically, "I'm sorry for mentioning your sadness." ”

Yi'er said lightly, "It's okay, I know that he is just acting on orders, but when I watched my relatives fall in front of me one by one, I couldn't let go of the hatred in my heart, so my relationship with him became worse and worse, and after that, he threatened my brother and forced me, and whenever the hatred in my heart rose, I wanted to kill him." ”

Li Yue finally understood, why Yi'er betrayed Zhou Huaijin several times, it turned out that there was such a past, such a love-hate entanglement, Li Yue wanted to comfort a few words, but she didn't know how to speak, so she had to remain silent.

After Li Yue went back, she couldn't help but sigh when she thought of the strict hierarchy of this feudal society, and she was very happy in her heart, fortunately she was a rural village girl, if she was a slave like Yi'er, and she was still rounded and pinched by others, she was afraid that she would turn the sky upside down, and she didn't know if she could live.

Listening to Li Yue sighing all the time, Li Yun finally couldn't help but ask, "Why do you keep sighing?" ”

Li Yue responded, "I just listened to Yi'er's life experience, and I felt a little emotional." ”

Li Yue, who listened to it, kept sighing for someone else's business, Li Yun frowned slightly, didn't ask much, and said, "It's so late, aren't you tired?" Go to bed early, and I'll go back to see my mother and grandmother tomorrow morning. ”

Li Yue nodded, stood up and went to the bedside, Li Yun saw Li Yue get up and go to sleep, and then went to the living room to wash.

And Zhou Huaijin's side, I was quite happy to hear that Yi'er asked him for money and something like that for the first time, after all, Yi'er in the past would never ask for anything from herself except for things related to her brother.

But when Zhou Huaijin heard that it was Li Yue's idea, and asked Yi'er to ask him for more, he was unhappy, thinking that Li Yue's girl was really getting more and more excessive, and now she actually instigated Yi'er to ask him for money to partner with her in business, which was simply indirect blackmail.

Since Yi'er opened her mouth, Zhou Huaijin still agreed to give it silver, but she vented all her dissatisfaction on Yi'er's body, and tossed Yi'er enough.

This Linzi county is really warmer than the border, mainly because there is no wind and sand, and the cold wind is not so biting, so Li Yun and Li Yue got up early in the morning, cleaned up, said hello to the third aunt, and let Li Zhong leave the county seat with the carriage and go back to Waishan Village.

As for Yi'er, with Zhou Huaijin here anyway, there is no need for them (her) to care.

The two of them didn't have time to go to the teahouse to take a look, so they went back directly to the outer mountain village, and Li Yue muttered in the car, "I haven't been back for more than a month, and I don't know how my grandmother's illness is, my mother, my brother and Lin Xiao don't know if it's okay, I'm afraid I'm worried if I haven't gone back for so long." ”

Li Yun said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Lin Xiao is taking care of you at home." ”

There is a carriage to travel, but the speed is much faster, about an hour to arrive at Dalu Village, the two of them are going to see their grandmother first, and then go back to the outer mountain village.

I didn't want to wait for the two of them to go to the Li family in Dalu Village, but they found that there was no one who closed the door and locked it, and when they inquired, they found out that the Li family had all moved to the county seat.

Got into the carriage and continued to go back to Waishan Village, Li Yun said in the car, "I was careless, I should go to my uncle's grain shop first." ”

Li Yue said, "It's okay, when we go back to the county, we just go to see grandma, there is nothing to do during this time, I want to pick up my mother and younger brother and they will also go to the county town to play for a few days." ”

Li Yun responded, "Okay, I just don't know if Lin Xiao is willing to go." ”

Li Yue said, "I want to ask Lin Xiao when I go back, why don't we find a girl for Lin Xiao and marry her a daughter-in-law?" ”

Li Yun shook his head, "Forget it, this matter is not like other things, let him decide for himself, we can't let him make his own decisions." ”

Li Yue pursed her lips and said, "You didn't make the decision made by your uncle at the beginning, aren't you living a good life now?" ”

Li Yun looked at Li Yue and looked at Li Yue with a smile on his face, "Really?" How do I think it's your decision? In order to marry me, but he took great pains to spread rumors everywhere, saying that I was a murder fugitive. ”

Li Yue looked at Li Yun in surprise, "How did you know about this?" ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Li Yun's mouth, "I guess." ”

Li Yue didn't believe that Li Yun was guessing, a suspicious flush appeared on her face, and she didn't admit it, "What does it have to do with me, hmph, if I didn't think you were good-looking, I wouldn't agree to marry you." ”

Li Yun was afraid that she would say it again, so Yue'er became angry and anxious with herself, did not answer, and stopped talking about this matter.

A carriage suddenly came to the outer mountain village, and everyone was very curious, and when they saw that the carriage was going to Zhang Langzhong's house, they thought that a noble family had come to invite Zhang Langzhong to see a doctor.

Li Yun and Li Yue came to Zhang Langzhong's house first, the first was to come to see the godfather's family to see if the godmother was okay, and the second was because the carriage couldn't catch up with the mountain, and it was not safe to put it down the mountain, so Li Yue simply drove the carriage to the godfather's house to put it away.

Zhang Langzhong saw a carriage coming from the door, and thought that a noble family had come to invite him to see a doctor, since he cured the leg of the young master of Xu Yuanwai's family, his reputation can be said to have been greatly improved, and many dignitaries came to ask him to help see a doctor.

But it was Li Yun and Li Yue who got down from the carriage, which still surprised Zhang Langzhong, and he was very happy, after all, the two of them hadn't come back to see them (them) for a long time.

Li Yue called out to her godfather with a smile, then went over and opened the gate and said, "This carriage can't catch up with the mountain, so it has to be stored at the godfather's house first." ”

Zhang Langzhong went over to help remove the threshold, and asked, "You haven't been back for a long time, but are you okay?" Is something wrong? ”

Li Yue's eyes flickered, then she shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's just that the teahouse in the county town is a little busy, so I don't have time to come back, are my godmother and godgrandmother okay?" ”

Zhang Langzhong nodded and replied, "It's all good, I just keep talking about you, why haven't I come to see them for so long." ”

Li Yue said apologetically, "I will come back to see them often in the future." ”

After that, several people worked together to drive the carriage into the door, and at this time, the old lady Zhang in the house heard the movement in the yard and shouted, "Who is coming?" The side came out of the yard.

Seeing that it was Li Yun and Li Yue in the courtyard, he greeted happily, "Is Ah Yun and Yue'er here?" Quick, come in and sit. Seeing the things in Li Yun's hand, he said reproachfully, "Why did you bring things over again?" It's good that people come to see us often, don't take anything in the future. ”

Both of them called their godgrandmothers, and went to the front hall where the old lady was, Zhang Langzhong looked at Li Zhong next to the carriage, and asked suspiciously, "Who is this brother?" ”

Then Li Zhong hugged his fist towards Zhang Langzhong, "Master Zhang, I am a former scholar of Gongzi, and I only found Gongzi some time ago and reunited with Gongzi." ”

Zhang Langzhong nodded knowingly, and said, "Everyone calls me Zhang Langzhong, and the little brother also calls me Zhang Langzhong, don't be a master, don't be comfortable, you can also follow into the house, it's very cold outside now." ”

Li Zhong clenched his fists, "Xie Zhang Langzhong." After that, he also followed Zhang Langzhong into the house.

There was a brazier in the front hall, and a small needlework dustpan was placed next to it, and there were some small clothes in it.

Mrs. Zhang beckoned the two of them to sit down, and said, "My legs are afraid of cold in winter, so they will be roasted at this time." ”

Li Yue responded, "If Grandma doesn't move more, her legs will be better, and she can't just bake the fire." ”

Li Yue picked up the dustpan on the side, looked at the small clothes and shoes in the dustpan, felt cute for a moment, and asked, "What about the godmother?" ”

Mrs. Zhang replied, "I'm a little sleepy, so I'm sleeping in the house now." ”

As soon as Mrs. Zhang spoke, Aunt Zhang appeared at the door of the front hall, looked at Li Yun and Li Yue in the room, and greeted with a smile, "I heard movement in the house, like the voices of the two of you, I didn't expect you two to come, Yue'er, you haven't come to see us for a long time, my godmother misses you." ”

Li Yue hurriedly got up and went over to support the big-bellied godmother, and asked, "Is the godmother okay?" ”

Aunt Zhang let Li Yue help her into the house, and replied with a smile in her mouth, "It's good, you have your godfather to take care of it." ”

Li Yue helped her godmother to sit down in the house, and then talked to everyone for a while, the two got up, planning to go back to Daliang Mountain, Mrs. Zhang originally wanted to leave the two for lunch, but I heard that the two had not gone home for more than a month, so they did not keep the two, and let the two go back to Daliang Mountain first.

So a group of three people, ready to walk to Daliang Mountain, go back to Daliang Mountain, just about to pass by the old house of the Ming family, Li Yue walked to the door of the old house of the Ming family, and habitually looked at the old house, this look, actually looked at the door of the old house is open.

Li Yue frowned a little puzzled, and said to Li Yun on the side, "No, this uncle and third uncle are all in the county seat, and the yard should be locked, how can the door be open?" Was it a thief? ”

Li Yun had good eyesight, looked at the flickering figure in the room, and said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

Li Yue nodded, went to the old mansion of the Ming family with Li Yun, and pushed open the half-hidden door of the mansion.

After entering the door, I saw a woman in her thirties and forties, busy in the courtyard, watching a few strangers enter the door, the woman raised her head, frowned, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
