Chapter 11 Reconciliation

The meaning of Li He's words, how Cheng Ziqiao didn't understand.

With a bitter face, he said astringently: "Yes, yes, I will try my best to compensate Changyi." ”

Li He snapped: "Shut up." From today on, you are not qualified to call my sister's maiden name again. Let's start by talking about how you compensate. ”

Li He's voice shook the roof for a while, frightening everyone in the Cheng family who didn't dare to speak.

Cheng Ziqiao said: "I, I will return your sister's dowry to your Li family." Again, again..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li He timidly, and saw that his eyes were blazing and his face was mocking.

Gritted his teeth and said, "Compensation of another three thousand taels of silver for your sister for the rest of her life." ”

Cheng Ziqiao said this sentence very worryingly. The nose is blue and the face is swollen, and the corners of the mouth are bloody. He pulled out a little silver in pain, as if he had scraped his flesh. The expression of gritted teeth was quite hideous.

"Well, that's a small compensation. But at this point, the line is drawn, and there is no longer anything to do with it. It's just that the book needs to be written according to my words. Li He stared at Cheng Ziqiao and said.

Write according to your words? What other tricks can you write in the book? Cheng Ziqiao had the heart to defend a few words, but after only one glance at Li He, he was seen by his clear gaze. Busy even claimed to be.

"Yizhou Cheng Ziqiao was ordered by his parents, and the words of the matchmaker. Married Changgu Li Changyi. Married for more than ten years, the Li family is diligent and thrifty, virtuous and friendly. It's a model for women. However, Cheng Ziqiao's morality is degraded and humiliating. It's really unbearable to be a good match for the Li family. From now on, both parties will voluntarily reconcile and go their separate ways. To compensate Lee..."

Li He's well-organized words made Cheng Ziqiao stunned. How did Cheng Ziqiao and the women of the Cheng family present oppose the corruption of their own personal morality in the book of reconciliation.

Li He sneered: "It's okay if you don't want to write like this." Let's go to the court and ask the county magistrate to write it? I'm afraid that the county magistrate will not want to. He sneered.

If this is the ugly thing of the county lady, it will be shaken out in public. The consequences were unpredictable. Lu Mincai, the county leader, was born in the Luoyang family, and the relationship between the DPRK and China is intertwined. It's not like they are strong in one place.

Looking at Li He's tone, I'm afraid everything is clear. Cheng Ziqiao, who was originally graceful, no longer dared to speak strongly. The gray and swollen face nodded in agreement.

When the next person presented the pen and ink, Li He looked at the two nephews who were snuggled next to Mrs. Cheng.

said angrily: "Although the two families are separated, it is a fact that the two nephews are the bloodline of my Li family. The dowry will not be refunded, and it will be left for the niece to use in the future. The three thousand taels of silver you compensated, my Li family will also keep two thousand taels for his brother and sister. Such as the heart of the two children. I will take the lives of your whole family at once. I do what I say. ”

As he spoke, the sleeves of his robe flicked, and a strong wind stirred up, rolling up the door that had fallen in front of the main hall far away, and falling straight back to the original place of the door. frightened the family members who were watching from the gate of the courtyard into fleeing in all directions.

When Cheng Ziqiao saw this, he was frightened and no longer dared to hesitate. With trembling hands, he writes and leaves the book with a pen.

Cheng Ziqiao, who can instinctively write a good hand, writes quite out of order. There were also a lot of ink dots on the paper. Li He picked it up and looked at it, sneering slightly. looked at Cheng Ziqiao again.

Cheng Ziqiao was not slow to react this time, and was busy calling the account office to get the silver. Money is something outside the body, and it is important to send this plague god away first. Cheng Ziqiaoquan regarded this as a nightmare, where would he dare to care.

The weight of three thousand taels of silver is not light, and it is quite difficult for several family members to carry it together. But wrapped in a package, in Lu Hualong's hands, it was as light as nothing. The master of the Cheng family was all speechless, and Cheng Ziqiao even dispelled the desire to take revenge afterwards.

Get and leave the book and compensate the silver, the matter is not over yet. Under Li He's signal, Lu Hualong grabbed Cheng Ziqiao, followed behind the Li family's sisters and brothers, and went to the county office. Mrs. Cheng watched her son being taken away, and hurriedly shouted for the upper and lower people to follow.

Li He seemed to be familiar with the road, and went straight to the civil department of the Yizhou County Ya.

There was no objection from both parties, and the separation procedures went quite smoothly. Under the surprised gaze of the official clerk, the official seal was stamped.

When he learned that the person in front of him was Li He, a talented man in the township, he was in charge of writing the paperwork, and he was busy giving it up again and again, admiring it. Li He didn't say anything else, but was polite and polite.

When Cheng Ziqiao and Li Changyi drew their respective charges, the matter was settled.

Li He and the Yizhou Civil Division clerk parted ways. took her sister and Lu Hualong out of the county office.

Li Changyi was still in the clouds at this time, and followed his younger brother to the street in a daze. The endless stream of pedestrians and the noisy voices of people brought Li Changyi back to his senses. This is really not a dream, I left the Cheng family. It is not to be abandoned, but to be proud and detached. Looking at the heroic back of the second brother, Li Changyi was proud.

Softly called, "Erlang, are we going home?"

This is the first time my sister has spoken.

Li He hurriedly smiled: "Buy some household goods in the market first, and then return home in a while." Rest assured, Erlang will definitely take care of the family in the future and will not let his sister suffer. ”

What else is there for his brother to worry about. Looking at Erlang's strong and capable appearance today, Li Changyi only felt extremely warm and safe.

"It's just that I'm away from home. Will my mother be angry? and..."

After all, Li Changyi is from a scholarly family, and she is still worried about whether everyone in her mother's family can accept her like a second brother. Li He couldn't understand what his sister was thinking.

Said softly: "Sister, don't worry. Picking up my sister home is my mother's meaning. The eldest brother and sister-in-law also support it. How can my daughter of the Li family be abused. In the future, our family will be harmonious and beautiful, and we no longer need to worry about it and look at people's eyes. ”

Li Changyi sighed at this time. Yes, you have to be on guard at all times when you are a cow or a horse in someone else's house. Although there is no worry about food and clothing, there is never a comfortable day. The mother's family is no matter how depressed it is, but the family cares about each other and snuggles up to each other, which is far stronger than the messy Cheng family.

The Li siblings bought household cloth at the bazaar and went to the pharmacy to buy some silver needles.

Li Changyi said curiously: "Erlang, what are you buying these for?"

Before Li He could reply, Lu Hualong rushed to say: "The second son wants to practice medicine now, but he doesn't need these things." Hello Miss, I'm Lu Hualong, a scholar. Thank you for your kind attention. ”

Lu Hualong has always been very depressed, he has been ignored until now, and he can finally see the opportunity to introduce himself.

Li Changyi never understood who this boy was. And behold, his garments were smooth and smooth in the sun, not tilapia. Words and deeds have always obeyed his brother's instructions. I've always wondered if it's a relative of my mother's family. Seeing that my brother didn't mean to introduce, he didn't ask. Seeing Lu Hualong reporting to his home, he turned out to be his own scholar.

Li Changyi was slightly shocked in his heart, and said softly: "I've worked hard for you today." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard. I haven't been happy yet!" Lu Hualong said with a high spirit.

Li Changyi saw that he was carrying silver taels in his hand, and he was carrying some things on his shoulders.

Hurriedly asked, "How can you have such strength at such a young age?"

Lu Hualong was praised by others, and he was immediately happy that he couldn't find the north.

boasted: "What is this? I can still catch tigers and dragons!"

Seeing Li He's eye knife sweeping over, he hurriedly laughed and said, "I'm not as good as the second son, he can... Ouch!"

As soon as he was halfway through his words, he was knocked on the door of his head by Li He.

Li He smiled at his sister and said, "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense." As soon as his conversation box was opened, he couldn't hold it back. As he spoke, he glared angrily at Lu Hualong.

Li Changyi was full of questions, when did the second brother learn medical skills? But today when it comes to his own affairs, he still has to think about how to go home and explain to his mother. I had to put it on hold for the time being.

Li He finished purchasing the necessary items in the county seat of Yizhou and hired a horse-drawn carriage. Loaded on. When I arrived at the mountain village, it was just sunset.

Li Dalang waited for his younger brother for a long time to no avail, and complained that his younger brother did not let him go with him. I was anxious. At home, the yard was circulating, and after the worst, I ran to the entrance of the village to look.

Just as he was anxious, he saw a carriage parked at the bottom of the hill from a distance. When Lu Hualong and his younger brother got out of the car, they hurriedly ran down the mountain. As soon as he took two steps, he saw a woman get out of the car.

Li Dalang's heart was like a drum: he was still suspended.

All of a sudden, I couldn't breathe, and the people wilted and came down, and they greeted the people who went home. Li Changyi was ashamed when he saw his eldest brother coming down.

Choked up: "My sister is incompetent, and I have suffered from you." ”

Li Dalang's eyes were also wet, and he remembered his mother's instructions.

Hurriedly rubbing his eyes and comforting: "It's okay, it's okay." Just go home. We are not subject to the guilt of their Cheng family. ”

As he spoke, he took the things from his sister's hand and helped Li He carry a bag of noodles.

On the way home, I met villagers from time to time. It has only been six years since the Li family moved to the backing village. At that time, Li Changyi had already been married, and almost never returned to his parents' home here. None of them recognized the eldest lady of the Li family, and under their doubts, they all opened their mouths to inquire.

Li He didn't say anything else, but said that his sister went back to live at her parents' house. Today's mother's family lives in a mountain village, and it is no longer the Guangzhai compound in the county town earlier. After Li Changyi moved from her mother's home, she was never able to go home to visit her relatives. I was ashamed.

As the two younger brothers entered the house, they hugged the old lady and cried bitterly. The younger daughter-in-law, Dou, also wept on the side.

Li He comforted: "This is a good thing! Why are you crying? It's too late to be happy!"

Can her daughter be happy when she is divorced? Mrs. Zheng glared at her second son fiercely.

Li He hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry. My sister was not divorced, but both parties voluntarily divorced. I also smacked them hard. As he spoke, he opened Lu Hualong and put it on the table to wrap it.

The white silver suddenly shook the eyes of the family. Mrs. Zheng was shocked and hurriedly asked for details.

Li He, sister and brother, and Lu Hualong, you will tell me what happened in the Cheng family today.

Old Mrs. Zheng was stunned and said, "Erlang did this, although it was for your sister. But aren't you afraid of being criticized by the world? ”

Li Dalang and his wife were enthusiastic when they heard this, and they didn't expect this layer yet. When I heard my mother mention it, I came to my senses. They all looked at Li He.

"Why care about the eyes and opinions of outsiders. I live my life by myself, and I know my own warmth and coldness. As long as you are worthy of your conscience and heaven and earth, you don't care what outsiders say. Besides, this is also what my sister deserves. If I don't fight for her, why should I be cheaper than that white-eyed wolf! Mother doesn't have to be suspenseful, we should want it. ”

Li He disagreed, and his words were righteous. The old lady and the eldest husband and wife nodded in confusion, and always felt unsteady.

After dinner, Li Changyi told her mother about the Cheng family's past. Li He called Lu Hualong aside and whispered, "Let's go, clean up that Baishi Daoist." ”
