Chapter 39: Fight back
"......"
Hua Shi looked at the angry Li, snorted his lower lip, and shouted.
Li turned his head and glared at her viciously.
It's going to be over now......
Half a hundred years old, with a bronze face, an old lady with silver hair, even if she is old, she does not look old, but is aggressive, and her cloudy eyes are sharp and sharp.
When the eldest brother of the Li family saw the visitor, he was just an elderly woman, and his expression showed a little disdain.
"What? Is there no one in your house? I'm afraid that I won't be able to fight when the time comes, and we won't have anything to compensate for. ”
His words can be said to have poked into Li's heart.
In Li's life, he has spent such a son.
Even if you have a son, it's still a worthless thing, and after reading books for more than 30 years, you can't even get into the show......
Li Shi had a gloomy face, cloudy and small eyes, staring at the person who spoke secretly, the corners of his eyes and mouth drooped down, and he scolded sharply,
"Uneducated thing, who made you talk to me like this, do you know if you are still a tooth? The tutor of the Li family, why is he still going back more and more training! ”
Li Dian tugged at the cuffs of the eldest brother of the Li family, and said in a low voice, "Brother, that's Aunt Li, she has the same surname as us, and she is considered senior, so we have to call her Aunt Li." ”
Although Shoushan Village is a big village, it is a huge village, but there are only four surnames, Hua, Xie, Li, and He, these four big surnames are the original surnames of the village.
Generally, those with the same surname are all of the same clan and surname, which can be regarded as a big family.
The village also attaches great importance to clan surnames, focusing on respecting the old and the young, loving the old and the young, and the size of the generation is also very clear. He is a long and old man, and he is also very prestigious in the village.
The juniors with the same surname should respect the old and love the young outside, otherwise it is easy for people to be criticized and shameless in the village that values the concept of clan.
Although many people with the same surname, after a long history of inheritance and reproduction, many of them have already come out of Wufu and have no blood relationship by their generation.
But after all, the village pays attention to the same clan and the same surname, counting from the above dozens of generations, the generations are still there, and the elders with the same surname are indeed qualified to teach the younger generations with the same surname.
When the younger generation talks to the elders, they should pay attention to their words and behaviors.
After listening to Li Dian's words, the eldest brother of the Li family's face darkened visibly, and his smug expression stiffened on his face, and the appearance of smiling or not was really funny.
Hua Shi was also very surprised when he first heard that the village attached great importance to the clan surname.
She thought that the village was remote and backward, and the control would be very chaotic, but when she learned that the village constrained the villagers with the same clan and clan, she would be surprised because she had never heard of it before, and the village would record the inheritance in such a way in ancient times.
Although in later generations, there are still many people who can speak of the same root and the same origin, but most of them are just in charge of their own small family, and after the third generation, most of the relationships are not very close......
What's more, it is like this remote village now, almost isolated from the world, but it can order hundreds of families to record all those with the same surname on a big family tree, just look at the surname, regardless of whether the blood flows in the body or not.
Pay attention to the surname, pay attention to the generation......
And the most powerful person in the village, in addition to the village chief, there are also four old patriarchs.
The villagers all trust the four old patriarchs very much, and whenever there is something big or small in the village, when conflicts break out, they will go to the village chief and the corresponding old patriarch.
Therefore, in addition to the village chief, the four old patriarchs are the most prestigious.
The Li family, who has always been strong at home, is even more full of aura in front of several juniors with the same surname, with an old face and aggressiveness.
"The junior surnamed Li, can't even be called by people now?"
In front of everyone's eyes, the three brothers of the Li family looked at each other, although their faces were unwilling, they still shouted honestly, "Aunt Li." ”
Li nodded, and he agreed.
Although Li Dian is the youngest of the three brothers, he has the fastest brain and the most eloquent speech, "Aunt Li, although the same surname is Li, but that kid from your family stole our Li family's sheep and was caught by us, he also admitted it himself, if he doesn't help his relatives, this compensation should always be compensated." ”
Just now in the house, Li also listened to a rough idea, he was too lazy to care, he stole other people's things, and he deserved to be interrupted. But this kid of the Li family, the lion opened his mouth widely, and he asked for a tael of silver when he opened his mouth.
The more Li thought about it, the more angry he became, so he couldn't hold back and ran out.
She wants to see that she is here, this kid surnamed Li, how to blackmail her for a tael of silver.
Li's face was as unmoved as a mountain, and his tone was not hurried or slow, "Why did you steal your sheep?" Hua Li, did you steal his sheep? ”
Li first questioned, his tone changed, and he turned his head to look at the flowers that were huddled in the arms of his brother and sister, and sobbed the pair.
Several children of the Hua family have always been afraid of the Li family, and Hua Li was naturally not surprised, stared at by the Li family's dark and heavy eyes, shuddered, shrunk his neck, almost reflexively, and subconsciously shook his head.
Li Shi retracted his gaze with satisfaction, raised his eyes to look at the onlookers, lifted his eyelids, and said without changing his face, "Did you see it, he shook his head, he didn't admit it, the basin you detained for him, don't pour any dirty water on us, is it true that there is no one in our Hua family?" ”
In the end, he was young, Li Dian saw the scoundrel of the Li family for the first time, and he was choked and speechless.
The eldest brother of the Li family frowned, he was so angry that he refuted word by word, "He just admitted it, he stole it by himself, what do you mean by us to detain the!" And we didn't just watch him steal, but on the road where the sheep were herded, several people watched! ”
Li was still calm, "Oh, then you go and find someone, and say in front of me, you said he stole the sheep, what about the stolen sheep?" Why didn't I see it? You can't just steal it and swallow it alive, right? ”
What Li said was obviously ignored by himself, and he forcibly broke it for her, and it became confusing.
Brother Li, staring at his eyes, he was angry for a while, "You...!" ”
They didn't expect this old woman to mess around so much......
Li Dian took a deep breath and said calmly, "When he stole it, we found out, we naturally brought the sheep back, how could we take it away from him!" ”
Li Shi drooped his old face, "That's no evidence, no evidence, don't talk nonsense." You can't call people, and you don't have any evidence...... Oh yes. ”
Li said, not knowing what to think, his eyes slowly fell on Hua Li, who was holding a quail on one side, and pulled Hua Li directly with his big hand.
Her strength was not light or heavy, and she directly lifted the flower away from the broken hand, and asked,
"You beat my people indiscriminately, and you broke people's hands, and I don't care about your rest, and I don't know how much money it will cost to heal these broken hands...... I estimate that it will cost at least five taels of silver, and you will have to pay for this silver, right? ”
Li Shi thought about it, and what he said was also a set, and he directly came to a backhand, looking at the three brothers of the Li family who wanted to slander people, he sneered in his heart, and he had already thought of all the countermeasures.
Isn't it to blackmail money, she can also blackmail, this broken hand, you have to let her blackmail a few taels.
When the second brother of the Li family heard this, he was also anxious, and bluntly retorted, "Why? It was he who stole our things, so we broke his hand. ”
Li snorted coldly, "Stealing things, do you have any evidence?" Evidence must be spoken of in everything, and you can show me the evidence. ”
The three brothers of the Li family looked at each other, and they were speechless for a while, where did they get any evidence, saying that someone was watching, but in fact, no one really saw it. They also said this on purpose, just to scare people so that they could honestly lose money.
I really saw that kid stealing sheep, in fact, Li Dian was alone.
But the theft of sheep is a fact, and they deliberately exaggerate it in order to increase the deterrent. I didn't even think about bringing any evidence over to confront him.
These petty thefts happened in the village, and the thieves were scared by such a situation, and they recruited everything, where do they need any evidence to prove it......
Li Shi looked at the three speechless people, raised his eyebrows, crossed his waist with one hand, and spoke even more violently.
"I can't even get the evidence, so I talk nonsense, and I discount such a young child, I think there is a difference between you and hooligans, is it because we have a small family, so you bully us orphans and widows, do you want to be shameless? Do you want to be shameless? ”
The Li brothers were forced by the Li family to take several steps back.
Li Dian looked a little flustered, he really didn't expect the Li family to be so brazen, and he turned the situation around in three or two clicks, but it became theirs.
"We're not talking nonsense, that's the truth! The big guys have seen it, I don't believe you ask them! ”
Li Dian pointed to the group of onlookers and said loudly.
Li Shi pulled his face and looked around, and his tone became gloomy, "Really? Who saw it? Did you see my grandson stealing sheep? Who watched? ”
The onlookers, most of whom are neighbors of the Hua family, know the Li family's cautious eyes and pungent temperament, and are generally reluctant to provoke, for fear of causing trouble.
What's more, they just came to watch the play, and they didn't know anything about what the Li brothers said.
Li Dian looked at the silent and staring at each other, but no one stood up and spoke for him.
Li Shi was also a little impatient, and said bluntly, "I don't care what you say, I don't recognize it anyway, but you broke his hand, this is evidence, and you also admit it yourself, if you don't pay me five taels of silver, I will go to the village chief to reason." ”
The Li family is used to dealing with these, and they are also shrewd, so they put things aside in three or two clicks, and even beat the Li brothers.
There is always her mouth, and in front of the village chief, she still has something to say.
The eldest brother of the Li family was so blocked that he couldn't say a word, "You! ”
You don't know how to refute it for a long time.
Obviously, they were justified first, how could it be her turn, it would become that they were going to lose money!
The three brothers of the Li family, seeing that they couldn't talk about it, couldn't argue with the Li family, took a few steps back, exchanged glances, and left angrily.
Li watched them go, and did not stop, and said slowly behind them,
"Don't think it's okay if you leave, if you don't send five taels of silver over tomorrow, I'll go to the village chief to reason, and I'll invite you to the old patriarch, I'll see who has something to say!"
The voice was not loud or small, just enough for people to hear clearly.
Hua Shi looked at Li Shi in amazement, his combat effectiveness was off the charts, and he was concise and concise in a few words......
In Li's eyes, she didn't care whether Huali stole the sheep or not, put it in front of her, that is, she didn't steal it, and she couldn't get any evidence, and no one ignored her......
