The old man saw Li Qingling and them walking out outside, he strode up and asked Li Qingling how they were?
He went to play with Li Qingning in the fish pond before, and after learning about it from the villagers, he hurried over, but the courtyard door was locked, and he couldn't go in if he wanted to, so he could only wait outside helplessly.
Li Qingling smiled at him and said, Let's talk about this matter when we go home.
The people in the village, who had pricked up their ears and wanted to listen to the gossip, were all regretful when they heard Li Qingling's words.
They'd love to hear what was going on, too? How could Li Qingling take the dowry away?
The old man also thought of this, and after humming, he and Li Qingling walked home in great strides.
When she returned home, Li Qingling saw the people in the village following behind, and she smiled helplessly, "Uncles and aunts, there is something at home today, and it is inconvenient to entertain you, so I will entertain you well when I am free another day!" With that, she neatly closed the courtyard door.
Looking at the courtyard door, the people in the village began to talk about it.
"What's going on here? How could Xiao Ling bring back the dowry? ”
"It may be that Lao Litou's family did something to make Xiao Ling angry, and Xiao Ling doesn't want to marry in his family."
"Let me tell you, today I saw Li Baozhu wearing a beautiful hairpin on her head and running with Bu Shao to play with Xiao Ling, and it didn't take long for her to run home crying, and Xiao Ling and Zhimo also followed." There was an aunt who said this mysteriously.
As soon as she said this, the eyes of the people in the village were on her, and they asked her what was going on?
The aunt looked proud, and continued to talk nonsense, "I guess it must be the Liu family who coveted Xiao Ling's dowry, but Xiao Ling was angry, so they brought the dowry back." ”
"That person from the Liu family must be able to do this kind of thing."
"I think too..."
The people in the village guessed this matter randomly, and if it was Li Qingling's, they would definitely give them a thumbs up, thinking that they guessed accurately.
At this time, Li Qingling was sitting in the hall, being interrogated by the old man, what happened here?
Li Qingling reluctantly spoke, "My pair of grandparents coveted half of my dowry, and I couldn't get angry, so I brought the dowry back." "If it weren't for Lao Litou, they were too much, and she wouldn't have made such a move.
It's no wonder that they were too greedy to covet so many dowries from her.
When the old man heard this, he didn't have to stand up, and shouted loudly, "How can there be such a thing?" It's just black-hearted, and he even covets his granddaughter's dowry, "Have you taken back those coveted dowries?" ”
"Some of them have been brought back, and some of them have not been brought back, so they may have been given to someone by my great uncle, right? My grandfather said that when those things were recovered, they would be sent to me directly. After a pause, Li Qingling continued: "If he doesn't bring back those dowries, I will let him discount them to me." "At this point, she is not going to suffer.
It's still the old saying, those dowries were bought back to her by Liu Zhimo with great difficulty, she can't let them go so easily, she must give them a profound lesson, let them remember that she is not so easy to be bullied.
Hearing this, the old man nodded with satisfaction, that's right.
Fortunately, this girl doesn't have the heart of a bodhisattva, and she won't let go of Lao Litou's family easily.
In his heart, he felt that people who had done something wrong should be punished, rather than let them go easily.
In short, this girl has a deep heart.
…
A few days later, Lao Li Tou personally came to Li Qingling, he looked at Li Qingling, and said in a cold tone: "Some things have been brought back, and some are missing, how much are those things worth?" I'll give you a discount. He pushed the things he brought directly in front of Li Qingling.
Li Qingling glanced at Old Li Tou, presumably he hated her granddaughter in his heart.
She pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, and in front of Lao Litou, she directly opened the package and looked at the contents inside, hairpins, step shakes, and bracelets...
Her eldest uncle was really willing to give away such a valuable thing.
No wonder Liu pointed at his nose and scolded him for being a loser.
These things add up to no less than 50 taels, and 50 taels is a lot of money for a family.
"Please wait a minute, uncle, I'll go get the list." As soon as he finished saying this, Li Qingling didn't care about Lao Li's face, he went back to the room directly to get the dowry list.
When Lao Li heard Li Qingling's uncle, his brows furrowed involuntarily, and he looked very dissatisfied.
But he said it directly, and if he wanted to cut off relations with Li Qingling and them, he couldn't open his mouth to accuse Li Qingling and them.
He really regretted it in his heart, he shouldn't have been so impulsive and said this sentence!
Now I want him to retract this sentence, and I can't pull it down.
After a while, Li Qingling took the dowry list, spread it in front of Lao Li Tou, and pointed it out to Lao Li Tou in the same way.
Lao Li Tou looked at it and said directly: "What is missing on it?" How much money you want to lose, you just say it! He really didn't want to have any more contact with this granddaughter.
As soon as he saw her, his emotions were mixed.
In that case, it's better not to see him!
Li Qingling raised her eyes and looked at Lao Li Tou, who looked at her with a blank look, knowing that Lao Li Tou didn't want to stay with her longer, she was not reluctant, and said directly: "There are still five hairpins missing here, eight step shakes, and six bracelets..."
"It's... How much silver does this cost? He couldn't help but ask again!
"Converted, at least 150 taels."
"What? 150 taels? As soon as he heard this data, Lao Li almost jumped up, where did he find so much silver?
Li Qingling nodded calmly, "Uncle, if you don't believe it, you can go and inquire, how much are these worth?" She really didn't give him any money, she just reported it to him directly according to the original price.
Lao Li's face became even more ugly, he rubbed his hands, and looked at Li Qingling twice, wanting to say something, but the words came to his mouth, but he didn't say it.
He really wanted to ask Li Qingling if he could count a little less money, but he felt embarrassed, and he couldn't say it when it came to his lips.
Li Qingling didn't see Lao Li Tou's deep affection, she picked up the teacup and slowly drank two sips of tea, letting Lao Li Tou think about it slowly.
Lao Li Tou sat for a while, and Li Qingling didn't have anything to say, so he sulked in his heart, thinking that she couldn't be a man.
"I don't have that much silver for a while, so I have to lend it to you." Lao Li Tou said this very skillfully, and bit down heavily on the borrowed word, wanting Li Qingling to know that his family was in difficulty and he couldn't take out so much silver, so he wanted to borrow it.
If other granddaughters heard this, they would let him not have to pay it back, but what about Li Qingling? She smiled lightly, put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Lao Li Tou and said, "Well, as long as you return the silver before I get married, uncle." "She's forgiving enough, isn't she? Don't rush him back the money.
Old Li Tou rolled his eyes angrily by Li Qingling, and was in no mood to continue talking to Li Qingling, he stood up abruptly and left without saying a word.
He walked briskly all the way home with a breath, and when he met people who greeted him on the way, he ignored them.
As soon as he returned home, he saw Li Laifu sitting and eating in the yard, he had a black face and yelled at him, "Eat, eat, you can eat, I tell you, if you don't take those things back, I will break your hind legs." "It's really a loser, and he lost so much money to the mother-in-law who hasn't passed the door yet.
Li Laifu was almost choked by Lao Li's roar, he stretched his neck, swallowed the things in his throat, looked up at Lao Li, and asked him what's wrong?
Wasn't he happy when he just went? Why did you come back this time and your face was so dark again?
Lao Li pointed at Li Laifu with one hand and continued to yell loudly, "What's wrong?" You still have the face to ask me what's wrong? I told you to hurry up and ask the mother-in-law to get the things back, did you hear that? ”
"Dad, you really want my son to be a single, right?" He finally coaxed Mei Niang and took back those things from her hands, if he went to her to get them again, he really couldn't marry Huang Mei Niang in his life.
Thinking of Huang Meiniang's figure, he was very reluctant.
Lao Li Tou gasped heavily by Li Laifu's anger, and roared back loudly, "With that 150 taels of silver, what kind of daughter-in-law do you want to marry?" Don't talk about marrying one, whether you marry two or not, there are also people who marry you. "I really don't know what to do, that's 150 taels of silver!
What is the concept of 150 taels of silver? Does he even know? He was so by this stupid son.
Hearing this, Li Laifu jumped up from the ground violently, "What? 150 taels of silver, why didn't she Li Qingling grab it? He looked at Lao Li Tou and asked loudly, "Dad, didn't she see that you are her grandfather, can she give you a cheaper?" ”
It's good that Li Laifu didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, the fire in Lao Li's heart rose again.
"Our family has already cut off relations with them, how can she give me this face?" Lao Li replied angrily, "Don't talk nonsense to me, hurry up and find that mother-in-law for me, and ask for things back, or if you don't come back, don't come back." ”
With such a stupid son, this family will be ruined by him sooner or later.
Li Laifu looked at Lao Li Tou in disbelief, seeing that the look on his face didn't look like a lie, his brows furrowed even tighter, "Dad, isn't your son even worth 150 taels?" Yes? "Dad broke his heart too much.
Lao Li snorted, threw down a sentence, it was not worth it, and strode into the house.
