Then, Li Zheng made the final decision.

The Li family was mostly at fault, so Hu Zi came to apologize to Xiao Li Baojiao.

The tiger girl wailed again and said that her eyes hurt. The black girl from Lao Wang's family had blinded her eyes and asked for a tael of silver to cure her eyes.

Seeing that the two families were quarreling again, Li Zheng had no choice but to call the barefoot doctor in the village. After checking Hu Ziniang's eyes, it was indeed necessary to take medicine, but the medicine did not cost one tael of silver, only two hundred coins.

Because many people saw the chili noodles that Erya spread, Li Zheng was a little embarrassed. He knew the poverty of the Wang family, and two hundred coins was not a small sum for the Wang family.

At this time, Liu Laoxiucai said directly: "I heard that Hu Zi pushed Xiao Li into the tree hole. Fortunately, Xiao Li's life is great, so what if it's not a human life?"

Liu Zhihua hugged Jiaojiao and nodded in agreement: "That's right, my son's life is much more valuable than your eyes."

"I didn't!" Huzi yelled, pulling his neck.

Erya put her hands on her hips and imitated shouting: "I didn't sprinkle any chili powder either!"

Aunt Liu frowned, patted her clothes and stood up and said: "Huzi, I saw you leading a group of children at the intersection that day. If you don't tell the truth, I'll find a few people and ask them to find out the truth."

When Huzi heard this, he was so frightened that he took a step back, grabbed his mother's hand, shook his head and said in a panic: "It wasn't me anyway, it was him who went in by himself."

Xiao Li frowned and said, "You were the one who asked me to get in!"

"That's because you are stupid. You have to earn copper coins by yourself. It's none of my business anyway." Huzi retorted with a frown.

Seeing that there was something he didn't understand, Li Zheng frowned and shouted: "You want to kill people at a young age, how did the Li family teach you?"

Huzi Niang held her son in her arms and said, "You can't blame us Huzi. The Wang family is very poor. His stupid son only wants to earn copper coins. He is willing to beat and suffer."

"Auntie Li, since you don't want to admit that your son intended to kill himself, but according to you, Xiao Li went into a tree hole, then can you give the money that your son promised?" Liu Weiqing's voice sounded.

Hu Zi Niang choked, "You,"

I was speechless, but in my heart I scolded the Liu family. There are people from the Liu family everywhere, and this family is really nosy!

After hearing this, Li Zheng thought it was reasonable, so he said sternly: "Li family, do you want to pay someone else's money, or go to the Yamen and get slapped with a ban?"

Hu Zi Niang was frightened. Finally, under the persuasion of the Li family, Hu Zi Niang dug around and took out five copper coins, but was scolded by Li Zheng, "You hurt your eyes and blackmailed someone for two taels of silver, but they took it back."

Isn’t that disgusting for you to give five coppers for a life!

In the end, Hu Zi Niang was so painful that she gave out three hundred coins.

Although the Wang family doesn't care about their money, they don't want it in vain. Three hundred coins can buy some fine grain.

……

The next day,

Wang Zhuangzhi went to the town before dawn to buy eggs and fine grains. After buying them back, Liu Zhihua divided the things into two parts, put one part into a basket and covered it with a piece of cloth.

Yesterday, it was all thanks to the help of Aunt Liu and her family. She was going to bring something to say thank you.

Because of that incident yesterday, the peanuts on the hilltop had not been planted yet. Erya and Xiaoli helped their father to sow the seeds. Liu Zhihua hugged Jiaojiao and took Qiu Sheng to Liu's house.

The Liu family is in the direction of Xiancun, a bit far from the village head, and Liu Zhihua doesn't dare to walk fast while holding her daughter.

Jiaojiao looked at the grass along the road and suddenly saw a forsythia plant. She hugged her mother's neck and said softly: "Mom, I want that flower."

"Where?" Liu Zhihua looked back, but she didn't see any flowers.

"The color is so bright and there are many fruits." Jiaojiao pointed with her little finger.

After hearing this, Qiu Sheng walked in the direction pointed by his little sister, and it took a lot of effort to dig up the thing.

"That flower is not beautiful. Mom picked beautiful morning glory for Jiaojiao." Liu Zhihua coaxed while holding Guabao.

Jiaojiao shook her head, "I want this."

"Hey, okay, your mother's sweetheart, let your big brother pick the one you want."

Qiu Sheng patted the dug herbs clean and returned them to his little sister, not forgetting to tell her: "Jiaojiao, throw it away after playing with it. Don't eat it by mistake."

Jiaojiao nodded obediently and said: "Okay~"

The three of them walked and talked, and before they knew it, they arrived at Liu's house.

Liu family,

The big house with blue bricks and red tiles, with a plaque hanging on the door, looks like it belongs to a scholarly family.

In the yard, Aunt Liu is hanging melon silk.

Suddenly she saw a family of three coming in. She put down what she was doing, wiped her hands and walked up to them with a smile, and asked: "Zhihua, I am willing to bring your beloved to visit today. Have you three mothers eaten?"

Liu Zhihua replied with a smile: "After eating, the leftover chicken soup from yesterday gave them some pimples."

Holding forsythia in her arms, she sweetly shouted: "Hello, aunt~"

Qiu Sheng salutes and greets: "Auntie."

"They are all good children. Jiaojiao's little mouth is so sweet. Come, the aunt will carry her into the house and give her some sweets to eat."

Aunt Liu took off the old cloth wrapped around her body and patted her body before taking Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao was very obedient. Aunt Liu took her back to the house and took out a handful of pine nut candies. Only when Liu saw Jiaojiao did she get up and tease her a little. They only had grandchildren but no granddaughters. They were envious when they saw other people's little girls.

Jiaojiao is a girl, and her cute and well-behaved appearance makes Zhou Zheng even more rare.

Liu Zhihua casually put the basket she brought on the wooden table, rubbed her hands and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I received three hundred cents for the Liu family's blessing. Early in the morning, the head of the family went to town to buy things and bring them with me. Don't dislike it. How much is it?

It’s our intention.”

"Wei Qing will go back to school in the afternoon. We are the only two who are short of everything at home. Please take it back and let Jiaojiao eat it." Aunt Liu shook her head and waved no.

"There are still some at home. This is brought to you. You have to take it if you don't want to, otherwise I won't dare to come to your house in the future." Liu Zhihua said with a smile.

Their family is poor, but they have always known propriety and do not like to take advantage of others.

A good relationship between neighbors requires two families to maintain it. You can't just take things without paying because they have money. That kind of relationship won't last long.

At this time, Jiaojiao said in a soft voice: "Auntie, Jiaojiao wants to go to the ground."

After being carried by her mother and walking away from home for a while, she was already sweating a little. Now when she entered the house and was held by her mother, she felt very hot.

"Auntie, I'll let you down now, and you can play in the house by yourself."

After Jiaojiao was put down, she curiously watched Grandpa Xiucai write.

"Uncle, can you tell stories when you write?" Jiaojiao tilted her head and asked.

Old scholar Liu smiled and asked softly: "What does Jiaojiao want to hear?"

Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly lit up when she looked at the forsythia in her hand. She held up the herb and said, "Tell me about this."

Liu Lao Xiucai stared at it carefully, took up his pen and wrote the word forsythia, and said with a smile: "This herb is called forsythia. It blooms first in early spring. The flowers bloom with a light fragrance, and the branches are full of golden color. There are many medicinal prescriptions."

It is found in everything, and it is a good medicine for treating diseases."

"Wow, uncle is so awesome!" Jiaojiao's eyes sparkled, and then she asked happily: "Uncle, how much silver can forsythia be sold for?"
