Chapter 27
Confession
Zheng Ying smiled, looked away, and continued talking to Li Changlei, "Second cousin, I need your help to say a word in front of my cousin. One day we invited my cousin to try our luck in the mountains together."
These words played into Li Changlei's temper, and he thought to himself, this guy is on the right track.
What is he talking about? Don’t you just want to go up the mountain together? My father told me repeatedly to let him go up the mountain, but he didn’t dare to run up the mountain for several days.
The second uncle had already handed over all his skills to him. My nephew taught me sincerely, and there was no such thing as hiding anything. He also learned hard on his own. Not to mention the second uncle’s skills, he learned 10% of them, and he also had 80% to 90% of them.
.
"It's all on me!" Li Changlei patted his chest, feeling relieved, "Tomorrow, just tomorrow! By chance, we also have a break, so we got up early to find my second uncle, and we went to the outskirts together to hunt hares, pheasants and the like. My mother's skills are very good.
Well, you’ll know after you taste it.”
Li Qiusui rolled his eyes, as if the mountains were your back garden! Pheasants and rabbits were waiting for you to catch them.
The second brother deserves a beating like this. When dad comes back, he will really be beaten.
Not wanting to continue listening to Zheng Ying's lies to his second brother, Li Qiusui and Liu went to the backyard to watch the chickens being killed.
The backyard is quite open and bright. In addition to a piece of land for growing vegetables and a chicken coop built near the back door, there is also an open space in the front.
Mrs. Liu caught two big roosters and plucked out the hair around their necks.
Li Qiusui took a big bowl from the kitchen and said, "Mom, save the chicken blood to make blood tofu. That one is delicious."
Mr. Liu should be fine, but he raised the knife and dropped it.
After the blood of the chicken is clean, throw the chicken into a basin of hot water and pluck out the feathers, which will open the intestines and rupture the belly.
Country women are accustomed to killing chickens.
"Suisui, what did Mrs. Zheng tell you?"
Young Master Zheng was here, so it was inconvenient to ask questions. Mrs. Liu took the opportunity and couldn't help but ask.
Li Qiusui told the truth, including the matter of being allocated a separate courtyard.
"Mom, Mrs. Zheng, including Zheng Ying's two sisters, are all good-tempered. I have nothing to worry about there, just at home. My brothers have gone to school, and I can't handle the work in the field, so I'm looking for part-time workers to help. You and
Dad, don’t be reluctant to spend your money.”
"You know so much now!" Mrs. Liu laughed.
It's really cool for such a villain to give her serious instructions.
My heart felt sad again. Her little girl was only a few years old. She hadn't seen her for a few days and she knew so much. How could she be afraid and panicked in the Zheng family!
"Mother~" Li Qiusui called out, but I don't know if Ms. Liu heard what she said.
Ms. Liu quickly turned her head and wiped her eyes, smiling: "I know, I know!"
Li Qiusui frowned, took off his purse, and took out three silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels, "These are three hundred taels of silver notes, the money from the orchids I took away last time. Mom, our family is not short of money, you and I
Dad, relax."
"What did you say?" Mrs. Liu was shocked, thinking that she had misjudged her.
"It's the orchid that my second brother brought back. I raised it for a few months and sold it." Li Qiusui smiled and put the banknote into Liu's hand.
Mrs. Liu had never seen a banknote since she was a child. She quickly wiped her hands clean before she dared to hold it in her hand and look at it carefully. "This is a banknote! Orchids are so valuable! You can see them everywhere on the mountain."
Ordinary orchids are certainly not worth so much money.
Li Qiusui did not intend to elaborate on this with Mr. Liu.
She hasn't found a good way to make money for the time being. She doesn't plan to hide the matter of selling orchids. She needs to give her mother some reassurance first.
Her mother and father, including her sister Xia He, were all dressed in linen clothes.
Not only did she leave a bag of money last time, but the Zheng family also sent a lot of cotton cloth.
Being accustomed to saving is one thing, but there are also reasons such as feeling sorry for my little girl and lack of confidence.
Mrs. Liu stuffed the banknote back into Li Qiusui's hand, "The money you gave me last time hasn't been touched yet. Your father said that I would give it to you again when I get the chance. Spend money in a wealthy family..."
Seeing that Mrs. Liu was becoming stubborn and refused to accept it even after being pushed and pushed, Li Qiusui also lost his temper and threw the banknotes to the ground, "No, just throw them all away!"
Tears welled up in my eyes, "Mom, I eat well and wear well every day there, but you and dad have to go to the fields, and the clothes on my sister's body are not as good as those of other people's maids. I feel uncomfortable!"
As he spoke, the tears flowed more fiercely, "My second brother dug the orchids. I read many books and spent three months raising them. Why can't you spend the money?"
"What's wrong, is this?"
At the sound of her father's voice, Li Qiusui turned his face and ignored her mother.
"What's going on, Sui Sui?" Li Sanzhu held his hands full. From a distance, he saw his daughter jumping around and wiping her tears.
Li Qiusui sniffed and turned away without speaking.
Mrs. Liu was embarrassed, hurriedly picked up the banknotes on the ground, handed them to Li Sanzhu, and explained the matter again.
"Sister-in-law will be here in a minute." Li Sanzhu whispered.
Putting down the things in his hands, he deliberately raised his voice and said: "Since it is my daughter who honors you, just keep it."
What happens if you accept it? It’s not you who has the final say!
Li Sanzhu winked at Mrs. Liu. "If it's not my filial piety, it's our family's money." Li Qiusui looked at her father and stamped his feet.
She still couldn't tell that this was said to her on purpose. They always felt indebted and were reluctant to spend the money they had.
"I'm not really married, so I won't have the money to show my filial piety. Aren't you going to want me?" Li Qiusui said, tears hanging on his cheeks, looking extremely pitiful.
"Don't cry. Don't cry every year. If you have anything to say, let's talk it over!" Li Sanzhu stepped forward and pulled the corner of his clothes to wipe his daughter's tears. "When we grow up, we can't cry all the time!"
Li Qiusui wiped his tears from his father's clothes and told him about selling orchids again.
"Dad, do you think this money belongs to the family?"
Li Sanzhu was confused. "There are a lot of orchids on the mountain. Your second brother showed them to others. Did you sell the flowers to the Zheng family? Girl, we can't hold on to that little kindness..."
"Dad, listen to me carefully!" Li Qiu Sui shook her father's arm, "My second brother dug ordinary orchids, but I raised them well, so I sold them for money. Not all the flowers went to the Zheng family...
"
That’s not because of the Zheng family’s help!
Before Li Qiu Sui finished speaking, she could see the meaning in her father's eyes.
This is still unclear!
Let me tell you the whole story in detail, including that Song Gongzi, who boasted about everything in the sky and everything in the earth.
Such a person can't tell the good from the bad! He must know the goods!
"Mr. Zheng's pot of orchids was a half-gift, and I didn't ask him for any money." Li Qiusui finally said.
Li Sanzhu asked his daughter, "Does that book belong to the Zheng family? Did you learn to read from the Zheng family?"
Li Qiusui nodded.
"Giving someone a pot of orchids is the right thing to do." Li Sanzhu straightened his face.
The more the topic gets talked about, the more biased it becomes, the deeper the hole is dug, and the bigger the lies become.
