Chapter 22 Withdrawal of Wine

"Isn't it just one or two or five dollars of silver, I'll pay it back!"

The word 'yet' landed, and the courtyard of Li Er's house was silent for a while.

Li San's daughter-in-law looked at Li Lincai with a shocked face, and Li San was even more guilty and stunned.

"Don't be a second brother, no, really don't. ”

Li Lincai's face was frosty, but he still endured his temperament and went to full of their brotherhood.

"Third brother, you also said it, isn't it just one or two or five dollars of silver, don't worry, your second brother can afford this money, and it is not worth it for such a small amount of money to break your relationship between husband and wife. ”

Li San's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"Second brother, this, if you really want to pay it back, you can't let you out all of it, so Zi Rui Zisheng is also at fault, we are half of the two families, you just give seven coins of silver. ”

When Li San's daughter-in-law heard the seven coins, her face changed suddenly.

"No......"

As soon as the word "no" came out, she suddenly met Li San's angry gaze, and she held back her words halfway through.

Their husband and wife have always been like this, and it is Li San's daughter-in-law who is in charge of the family in trivial matters, and it is Li San who has the final say when it comes to major events.

Li Lincai also wanted to speak, but Li Linjie grabbed him a step, and he looked at Li Lincai and Li with sincere eyes.

"Second brother, don't say it again, if you want to recognize me as a younger brother, then seven dollars of silver, more than not treat me as your own. ”

Li Lincai looked at his third brother, sighed deeply, and said something for a long time.

"Second Brother ......"

The matter ended like this, and finally ended with Li Lincai promising to compensate seven coins of silver.

That night, Li San and Li San's daughter-in-law walked back to their homes with a straight face and a distance of one foot from each other.

As soon as the door of the house was closed, the inside and outside were isolated, Li San's daughter-in-law, who had a cold face, immediately laughed and grabbed Li San's hand.

"You're still in charge! Now, we have not only got the money, but also kept your brother's affection. ”

Li San was also very proud.

"You don't look at who you are, if you don't have such means, how can you get to your current position in Zhancheng. ”

Li San's daughter-in-law snorted coldly after laughing.

"I said that my father-in-law and mother-in-law saved a lot of family wealth in their early years, and when they went, there was nothing left at home, so they must have secretly given your second brother, and his mother-in-law was by his side when he left. ”

"If he hadn't gotten the lot of money for his mother-in-law to see a doctor last year, he would have had the money to invite the whole village to dinner yesterday, and today he promised to lose money, and he promised to be so happy. ”

"The money of your father-in-law and mother-in-law is also your money, why let his family monopolize it, we have to find a way to get him back little by little. ”

It turned out that although Li Zirui and Li Zisheng did have diarrhea today, it was not serious, and Zhang Mazi, a barefoot doctor in Zhangjiawan, came to see it and said that he left without worrying, and he didn't even ask for a visit fee.

After Zhang Mazi left, Li Sanyi patted his head and suddenly came up with such an idea, which led to the previous scene.

Everything is just a scene that the husband and wife played for Li Lincai.

"It's a pity that I only got seven pieces of silver. ”

Li's third daughter-in-law sighed regretfully.

Li San was not disappointed.

"What are you afraid of, seven dollars is already a lot, and things have to be done slowly. ”

On the other side, Li Lincai's house.

After Li San left, Li cried helplessly with a crying voice.

"Seven coins of silver, where can our family get seven coins to compensate people. ”

Li Zijin also cried out with a whimper.

"Woo, mother, I was wrong, woo. ”

With tears in her eyes, Li Yao'er took Li's hand and said in a small voice.

"Mother, didn't Dad say that Tai Sui is very valuable, or we will sell Tai Sui, maybe it will be enough to pay back. ”

Li Shi looked at Li Lincai, who was standing in the middle of the courtyard without saying a word, angrily.

"It's useless to tell me, go tell your father. ”

......

This night, Li Lincai's family and his family collectively lost sleep.

Also suffering from insomnia is Li San's whole family, Li San and his daughter-in-law have made an unexpected windfall and are so excited that they can't sleep.

As for their sons, Li Zirui and Li Zisheng simply couldn't sleep, as if they had chicken blood in their bodies, and they didn't feel sleepy at all.

The next day, Li Lincai had a bitter face, carefully wrapped the remaining Tai Sui, which was the size of a half palm, and put it in a back basket with the intention of taking it to Zhancheng and selling it.

Before leaving, he thought about it and put the small jar of wine that Li Linjie gave him into the back basket.

Li Yao'er, who has always regarded herself as an adult, was worried about her father, afraid that he would be deceived by going out to sell things too honestly, so she insisted on going to Zhancheng with her.

Li Lincai didn't plan to take her there, but he couldn't resist his daughter, and even Li Shi looked sideways and said, "Xiao'er follow, she is smarter than you." ”

Li Lincai had no choice but to nod in response.

Zhancheng is not far from Zhangjiawan, six or seven kilometers away, and you can walk there in an hour by foot.

Although it is not far away, the rural people do not often come to the city on weekdays, and they have no money and nothing to do in the city, which is a waste of energy.

Yes, Zhancheng, which is only six or seven miles away, Li Yao'er has been here so many times, and he can count it on five fingers.

The country where Li Yao'er is located is called Xuanwu, which is the largest country in the east of the Dongshen Continent.

Zhancheng is located in the southwest hinterland of Xuanwu Kingdom, is the capital of Zhanzhou, and is the economic hub of Zhanzhou, Yunzhou, Qingzhou, and Qingzhou.

Stepping through the towering gates of Zhancheng, the inside and outside of the city are like two worlds.

Outside the city, although there are also bustling carriages and horses, the official road is lined with golden fields and autumn-colored forests on both sides, and it looks bright but desolate.

In the city, all kinds of shops and inns crowded the streets on both sides, and the shop flags were swaggering in the autumn wind, and the voices of people, horses' hooves, and selling sounds, mixed with all kinds of flavors, appeared alternately in Li Yao'er's world.

Li Yao'er took her father's hand, caught in the flow of people, and looked around curiously.

They went to Bai Kee Winery first.

Li Linjie said that the small jar of wine was bought by him at Baiji Winery for a hundred yuan.

At this time, one penny of silver was equal to one hundred and fifty yuan, that is, this small jar of wine could be worth three-quarters of the silver.

The Li family is short of money now, and three-quarters of the money is also a lot of money for Li Lincai, so he is reluctant to drink this small jar of wine and plans to sell it.

However, after the winery's little servant heard his intentions, his originally enthusiastic face collapsed instantly.

"Once the wine of Bai Kee Winery is sold, it will not be recycled, so you can take this wine back. ”

Li Lincai was willing to take it back, he kept begging the shopkeeper, and Li Yao'er also stood aside and shouted pitifully again and again: "Brother help."

Later, the shopkeeper was finally annoyed by the two of them, so he licked his face and went to intercede with the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper glanced at Li Lincai, who was dressed in a brown short shirt and pudding on his cuffs, out of the corner of his eye.

"If you want to refund it, you can also return it, it can't be the original price, you can only refund 50 yuan if you buy it for 100 yuan, and if you agree, it will be refunded to you. ”

When Li Lincai heard that he could only return fifty yuan, he couldn't help but hesitate, and Li Yao'er pleaded with a small mouth.

"Uncle, let's retreat more, fifty wen is too little. ”

The shopkeeper listened to Li Yao'er's words, and originally wanted to scold her for leaving quickly, and she would not retreat.

But he followed the sound and looked at it, and saw that although the little girl who spoke was dressed as a village girl, her eyebrows and eyes were very beautiful and cute, like a porcelain doll, and the evil words that rushed to her mouth couldn't help but be a little kinder.

"I can only return so much, and I can't do more. ”

Li Yao'er looked at the shopkeeper with aggrieved eyes, the shopkeeper turned a blind eye and refused to let go, Li Lincai was still hesitating, Li Yao'er pursed his lips and responded for his father.

"Okay, fifty is fifty. ”

Li Lincai saw that his daughter agreed, so he couldn't say more, so he had to put down the basket and take out the small jar of wine from the basket.

However, when the shopkeeper saw the small jar of wine, his face immediately changed.

"This jar is our family's jar, and it is not sealed. ”

He took the small jar of wine, lifted the lid of the wine, and lowered his head to sniff it slightly.

"The wine in it is not our wine, our wine, the wine is clear and fragrant, your wine, the color is green and the taste is clearly inferior rice wine, and you dare to pretend to be the wine of my Baiji Winery!"

"Where did you come from such two liars, one big and one small, who wanted to use a wine jar and a jar of bad wine to cheat me out of fifty cents!"

"Don't deceive people carefully, such a clumsy trick is to treat your master and me as fools?"

As he spoke, the shopkeeper took the jar of wine and threw it into the open space outside the winery with a 'bang', making a loud noise.
