Chapter 18 Grievances and grievances
The news that Yang Li had become a top three controller spread in Tuqiao Village, and then caused a sensation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Every household is discussing how to get along with Yang Li's family in the coming days. After all, this is a major matter related to vital interests, and there are many privileges brought by the Yuan Controller, among which there are not many that can make them a little bit light.
For example, if someone can move Yang Li and put his own fertile land in his family's name, the tax saved every year is not a small amount.
The discussion didn't last long, and then it turned into action. It was too late to go to the county seat to buy things temporarily, so every family found the most valuable things from the cabinets at home, and then walked briskly to Yang Li's house with these gifts.
Zhang Hu's parents carried two boxes of silk brocade worth nearly ten taels and ran at the front.
Because they just learned that just yesterday, their son Zhang Hu was actually quite disrespectful to Yang Li, and it was likely that he had offended others. If this is hated by Yang Li, then what's the point?
So they are now hurrying over to show their goodwill, ready to probe the mouth.
As long as Yang Li still expressed his dissatisfaction in words, they would not mind pulling Zhang Hu over and beating him in front of him to let Yang Li vent his anger.
After a while, at the door of Yang Li's house, there were already a circle of villagers.
The villagers are carrying all kinds of gifts in their hands, the good conditions are silk, tea, famous wine, etc., and the worst thing is a basket of eggs.
Yang Li knew what these villagers were thinking, so he didn't plan to receive these gifts.
When everyone was almost there, Yang Li stood at the door and said loudly: "Thank you, folks, I understand everyone's kindness, but the so-called merit is not rewarding, everyone should take these things back!"
However, when the villagers heard this, they thought that Yang Li no longer looked down on these gifts they gave, and they became even more anxious.
Someone said directly: "Young Master Yang, everyone is a fellow villager, and now that the Yang family has such a big happy event, we have to express it anyway." If you still think that we are a village, these things should be guarded anyway. ”
The others also echoed one after another, desperately trying to drill into Yang Li's house, and there was a big sense that if Yang Li didn't accept these things, they would stay here and not leave.
Yang Li had no choice but to continue to explain: "I already plan to go to the county seat to buy a house, and I am ready to move out before tonight, thank you folks for taking care of me in recent years, we will come back often when we have time." ”
Everyone was stunned, and immediately stopped moving, and someone tried to say: "A house in the county town costs seventy or eighty taels of silver, and the price is not cheap!"
The implication is to doubt whether Yang Li can afford it.
Yang Li had to explain again: "Wang Chengde has compensated me with a sum of money because of today's incident, which is more than enough to buy a house." ”
Then, in order to confirm his words, Yang Li also took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, held them in his hand and raised them.
Seeing this, the villagers finally believed Yang Li's words, and immediately looked at each other, not knowing what to do next.
If you insist on giving gifts, it doesn't seem to have any practical effect, and this transaction is a loss, which is really reluctant. But if you don't send it, what I said earlier is so good, and now I will leave in the blink of an eye, it seems that I feel too faceless.
However, for these villagers, the face is not worth the actual benefits after all, and many people complained casually, and then left directly.
When the others saw this, they immediately followed suit and dispersed in a hurry.
Only Zhang Hu's family is still standing in place.
Seeing this, Yang Li couldn't help but feel a little strange, and stepped forward to ask the reason.
"This ...... That one...... Yang Gongzi ......"
was asked by Yang Li like this, Zhang Hu's father scratched his ears and cheeks, and stammered for a while.
However, Zhang Hu couldn't stand it when he saw his father looking like this, so he stood up directly and said loudly: "Yang Li, I was quite disrespectful to you in my words yesterday, and I am here to make amends to you." If you still have any grievances against me, just come and punish me, I have absolutely no complaints. It's just that my parents have nothing to do with this matter, and I hope that after you become the controller, you won't be too small and angry with them. ”
When Zhang Hu's parents heard this, they couldn't help but be taken aback.
How can there be such an apology like this? What if Yang Li is annoyed and angry?
Zhang Hu's mother directly slapped Zhang Hu, reprimanded him twice, and was about to open his mouth to explain to Yang Li again, but was stopped by Yang Li waving his hand.
"My Fair Lady, a gentleman, it is a normal thing at Zhang Hu's age. And he didn't do anything out of the ordinary after all, even if there was a slight inappropriateness in his tone, it wasn't a big mistake. ”
"And when I rejected him at that time, he did not use his status and power to oppress me, but only claimed that he would not help me in the future. Doesn't the implication of these words show that his original intention was to try his best to help me, a person from the same village, after he has developed himself?"
"So I don't have any resentment towards Zhang Hu, but I feel a little grateful and admiration in my heart, your worries are completely unnecessary. ”
Yang Li's patient explanation made Zhang Hu's parents sincere and grateful, and the original worries in their hearts were swept away.
Zhang Hu also looked at Yang Li blankly at this time, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Is this still the Yang Li I know?
Why did Yang Li, who was originally very wooden in his mind, feel that his image was so tall at this time?
I was still using words to squeeze him for not wanting a small belly chicken intestine just now, but now it seems that the one who really has a small belly chicken intestine should be himself, right?
When Zhang Hu's family also left, Yang Yuyi approached and asked a little reluctantly, "Are we really going to move out?"
Yang Li nodded and said, "If nothing else, I may have to go to the University Hall of Cangzhou Mansion to continue my studies for a period of time until I become a true elemental master." It's not safe for you to be alone in the village, so it's better to move to the county seat. First, the public security environment in the county is much better, and secondly, Zhao Ze is also in the county, he will look at my face and take care of you. ”
Yang Yuyi saw that his brother was taking care of himself so considerately and caringly, and unconsciously snuggled up to him, only feeling that his heart was full of warmth, and agreed: "Brother, you are so thoughtful in everything you do now, I listen to you." ”
Yang Li suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, before we leave Tuqiao Village, we still have one more thing to do. ”
"What's the matter?" Yang Yu said.
"In the past few years, you have been helping Aunt Li next door to make money as a female celebrity, right, has she deducted and deferred your salary?"
"No, sometimes it's more difficult to see my life, and I will give a little more. ”
Yang Yuyi's eyes lit up, and she seemed to understand what Yang Li meant.
Yang Li was also quite relieved to see that his sister was so sensible, and continued: "Our Yang family should have clear grievances and grievances, revenge, and kindness. The Wang family has a life-and-death enmity with us, and we need to keep in mind that we must always try our best to take revenge, so that others will not dare to bully us wantonly when they see it. Aunt Li is kind to us, and we also need to remember that we have to reciprocate immediately when we have the conditions, so that others will lend a helping hand to our Yang family when they are in trouble in the future. ”
"Brother is right!" Yang Yuyi nodded heavily, "Let's go to Aunt Li now and thank you together!"
