"Mother-in-law, your yard?"

The old woman looked at the place where Liu Yunhua's eyes were, that is, the vegetable field, and said, "What, those soldiers from the Yue Kingdom passed by here before, and then snatched away the vegetables and chickens in my yard. ”

"But didn't my mother-in-law say that there were no soldiers from the Yue Kingdom here?"

The old woman smiled and said, "Old woman, I'm old, it's normal that I can't remember things, okay, I've prepared clothes for you, let's rest here today." ”

Liu Yunhua didn't explore the real reason, and silently followed the old woman into the hut.

The inside of the hut is very clean, but there is really nothing on the four walls of the house, which shows the poverty of the old man, and there is no distinction between the inner house and the outer house, only a simple earthen wall, which divides the room into three places.

The leftmost one should be the storage room, or the guest room, and the rightmost one is where the old woman lives, and the middle is just the kitchen and living room.

"My little house, girl, you're smiling."

Liu Yunhua didn't say these polite words, but smiled and said, "Old woman, what about the clothes prepared for me." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, look at the old man's memory, the girl and I are here."

The old woman took Liu Yunhua into the room on the left, took out a few clothes and said to her: "These are my daughter's previous clothes, if you don't dislike it, you can wear them." ”

Even if Liu Yunhua dislikes it now, he has to change it, as long as he can cover his body, but after changing the clothes on his body, he can only give up and assassinate Liu Yunxi for the time being.

Now the clothes on her body are simply miserable, I am afraid that the old woman herself has been bullied, so she will bring herself a stranger like this.

Thinking of this, Liu Yunhua shook his head helplessly, and changed into that dress, the clothes were washed very white, but there were no sewing and mending, and it was not like the old man's clothes were full of sewing and mending.

The old man seems to cherish the maintenance of this dress, and Liu Yunhua can still see a red dress in a bag when the old man is rummaging through the box, which seems to be the old man's daughter's wedding clothes.

The old woman packed up the clothes and took out a few clothes from her bag for Liu Yunhua to take away, but when she turned around and saw the fit of the clothes, the old woman cried unconsciously.

"Wife, you?"

"It's okay, I just thought of my girl."

"Why don't I change my clothes back now."

"No, no, that's good." The old woman hurriedly wiped away a handful of tears, but in the end, the tears still flowed out unconsciously, "Girl, you must be hungry, the old woman will prepare some food for you." ”

"Old woman, I don't need it, you can rest for a while, can you talk to me about your daughter?"

The old woman looked at Liu Yunhua in embarrassment, but when she saw the clarity in Liu Yunhua's eyes, she still said something about her daughter, some things were piled up in her heart, and the old woman was also suffering.

The old woman Li's family is the duty, and the old man Li is also a farmer, a tenant of the landlord Ma's family, although Ma Laoliu is a landlord in Youping Town, but he is not bad to his own tenants.

It's just that Ma Jiashan, the son of Ma Laoliu, the head of the Ma family, is an out-and-out bastard. However, Li Laohan usually has no dealings with this Ma Jiashan, and only has some friendship with Ma Laoliu.

It's just that he didn't expect that Ma Lao Liu was killed by the bandits who occupied the mountain as the king when he went out to do business, and Ma Lao Liu's business went into the hands of Ma Jiashan.

At this time, Li Laohan was dealing with Ma Jiashan, but what he didn't expect was that this year's harvest was not good, and Ma Jiashan was directly on them, tenants, and directly wanted to get more rewards.

Many tenants had no choice but to pay the valuable things in their homes to the Ma family, but the Li family had nothing to lose money, so Ma Jiashan hit the idea on Li Li, the only daughter of Li Laohan.

even let go of the cruel words, if he can't make up the land rent, he will use his daughter to pay off the debt.

In the past, the rent of more than ten wen per acre of land came to the hands of Majiashan, and it turned into three taels of silver per acre of land, and three taels of silver, not to mention that when the harvest was good before, the income in the land could not reach three taels, and the income of this year was only one tael.

Li Laohan's money for short-term work for large families in the city was not enough for Majiashan.

It's just that at this time, as in the script, there was a great benevolent person who helped them, and this person was a big family of Li Laohan who worked as a short-term worker in Youping Town.

This big family's surname is Wang, and it is a well-known big family in Youping Town, and it has a lot more property than the Ma family, a landlord who collects land rent.

What came was a middle-aged Confucian student, and the appearance of a Confucian scholar was the bookish atmosphere of a family, and the kind of scoundrel like Majiashan was simply on the ground one day at a time.

This Confucian student surnamed Wang paid the landlord for Li Laohan, and he didn't even ask for any payment, but just let Li Laohan work in Wang's house for a year, which can be regarded as repaying the land rent for ten years.

Such a good person, Li Laohan must be grateful to Dade, but the Wang family did not coerce him to repay him, everything was done in accordance with the rules, and there was no idea of exceeding the rules.

This made Li Laohan very irritable in his heart, and often sighed, such a great kindness did not ask for anything in return, which made Li Laohan feel that there was a mountain pressing on the top, and he really couldn't breathe.

If it is one hand to pay the money and the other hand to deliver the goods, it is the same thing, but it is obviously more than ten taels of silver, and it is offset by half a year's salary, which is really a great advantage for Li Laohan.

It's just that the Li family is also a good person, how could they take advantage of it casually, until one day Li Laohan came back from the Wang family's work, with a sad face.

Li asked Li Laohan the reason, and Li Laohan replied that the Wang family was now recruiting maids, so he thought about sending his daughter Li Li to the Wang family to repay the kindness of the Wang family for their Li family, but he didn't know if his daughter was willing.

Although Li Li is a woman, it is not yet time to get married, and it is not insulting to go to such a big family to be a maidservant.

So Li Laohan repaid his kindness, that is, he sent his daughter to the Wang family to be a maid, the amount was not much, it was fifteen taels to buy Li pear for three years, but after Li Laohan's bargaining, six taels sold his daughter half and sent it to the Wang family for three years.

In the first year, this Wang Yuanwai treated Li Li quite well, and he didn't do anything excessive, Li Li also worked diligently in the Wang family, from an ordinary girl in the Wang family to a second-class maid in the Wang family, enjoying the treatment of a first-class maid.

This made Li Laohan feel very relieved, his own rented land was replaced by a landlord, although the price was definitely not as cheap as Ma Laoliu before, but it was only a penny more expensive, which was acceptable to Li Laohan.

In addition, his own daughter is also out of the picture, waiting for the maid who has been working for three years to come out and marry directly, Li Laohan and the Li family have no regrets.

It's just that things changed in the winter of the following year, when Li Li cried and found Li Laohan, who was doing short-term work in Wang's house, saying that he had received an insult from Wang Yuanwai.

Li Laohan didn't take it seriously, he just taught his daughter to be ignorant, who knew that this lesson would become the beginning of a disaster for the family.

On the second day, Li Laohan was kicked out of the Wang family on the grounds that the construction period was delayed, and on the third day, he heard that his daughter was thrown on the official road, and the most hateful thing was that his daughter died naked.

At that time, Li Laohan and Li put on their daughter's clothes, and came to the Wang family compound under the guidance of a group of people watching the play.

But the housekeeper of the Wang family said that his daughter did not abide by women's morals and was expelled from the house, as for how she died, it has nothing to do with the Wang family.

Hearing that the Wang family was so arrogant, Li Laohan beat the drum and cried out for grievances, but the county official only listened to the words of the Wang family, saying that he hooked up everywhere in the Wang family, so that the backyard of the Wang family became a pot of porridge, and he was driven out of the house by Wang Yuanwai a long time ago.

But the daughter saw herself yesterday, how could there be a word for a long time, and the county official did not investigate, but just asked a few subordinates of the Wang family, saying that there was no such thing, and what was even more odious was that the Wang family also spewed blood and said that Li Laohan was an shoddy liar.

As for the scholarly Wang Yuan, out of humanitarianism, he gave Li Laohan a tael of silver as Li Li's funeral expenses in the Wang family for so many months.

This matter made the official retreat hastily from the court! The Li family became the laughing stock of the entire Youping Town.

After restraining Li Li, the poor and honest man Li Laohan, who had no place to complain, still couldn't resist the guilt for his daughter in his heart, and he also hanged himself at the gate of Wang's courtyard on the first seven days of his daughter's life.

Speaking of this, the old woman cried with grief, "It's been five years, and I knew that I would follow them!" But I don't dare, old woman! ”

"If the old man had said something like that at that time, and I hadn't let my daughter hear it, my daughter wouldn't have been like this."

"That bastard who was stabbed with a thousand knives killed my daughter and killed my old man."

Liu Yunhua closed her eyes when she listened to the old woman's crying, and listened to the old woman's final words, she finally found the insider at that time, a servant of the palace, after this incident happened back then, it was Li Li's body that he disposed of.

According to Wang Yuanwai's instructions, Li Li's body was thrown outside the desert.

As for the cause of death, this servant did not know, but he knew that Wang Yuanwai had often molested Li Li in those days, and they also took Li Li out of Wang Yuanwai's study.

It's just that when they threw the body, Li Li was in the quilt, they didn't know what was inside, and when they arrived at the official road, a servant knew that it was Li Li inside, so they were so frightened that they threw Li Li's body on the official road in a panic.

Afterwards, when Li Laohan came to Wang's house to make trouble, Wang Yuanwai gave them a sum of silver taels, told them not to go out and talk nonsense, and also said that his power in Youping was huge, so let them think about the price.

The reason why Li didn't leave was that he wanted to see the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom kill the bastard there, but he didn't expect that the bastard had already run away, and he was disheartened and wanted to die under the iron cavalry of the Yue Kingdom.

It's just that the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom are not angry, and within a few days of coming, they were beaten back, which disappointed the old woman even more.

"My wife I want to die but I don't dare to commit suicide, it's really..."

The old woman burst into tears again.
