Chapter 80: The Turning Point (Part 2)

Xiji Town, beef pork.

Li Facai took half a big pancake, rolled up several chopsticks and roasted pork, took a hard bite, and said happily: "Smell, this is the life that people live!"

The one sitting opposite Li Facai was a gangster in the town.

Those idle people looked at Li Facai in contempt and looked down upon him. After all, they were mud-legged in the countryside, and this small street restaurant could eat a lot of oil.

But after all, it is eaten for free. The braised pork is made of authentic pork belly. It is stewed with rock candy and smells it. I can't help but become vulgar. I imitate Li Facai and took a bite of the big pancake.

The big cakes here are all square and half square, one piece is three pounds, and those who eat half a piece can burp.

After Li Facai finished eating, he touched his mouth and said with a flattery: "Brother Wang, when will Mrs. Hong be hired? My nephew is gentle and will definitely be filial to Mrs. Hong in the future."

The group of idle people put the last piece of pork belly on the bottom of the plate into their mouths and said in disgust: "Get rich, it's not that I won't let you down. Mrs. Hong said it well, and praised your niece as a flower. She would nod there too. Who would have thought that someone would just make a fuss? This is also impossible! Let's see the next time, I'll look for you if there is any good thing next time."

Li Facai jumped up from his seat and widened his eyes: "Didn't everyone agree? Who is so inauthentic?"

Since the news, Li Facai invited him to have two meals and spent 100 cents. The Hong family’s betrothal gift of 60 taels of silver, how did Li Facai think well, and then flew away?

The group of idle people still felt embarrassed: "I can't tell you this. If something goes wrong, the Hong family will blame me."

Li Facai shook his head, took out a handful of money from his purse, and stuffed it into the idle's hand: "Brother Wang, who is the two of us? Don't worry, I'll just ask."

The group of idle people collected a handful of copper coins, curled their lips with Li Facai on their backs, and then reluctantly said: "Then I will... say it, but I will say it after that. I will not recognize it later. You can't say it was what I said."

"That's natural. I just ask, see who has such good luck and has entered the eyes of Mr. Hong's house." Li Facai promised: "I'll not mention Brother Wang to others."

The gang of idle people looked around and saw that there was no one else, Fang whispered: "I can't say it's someone you know!"

Li Facai widened his eyes: "Who is it?"

"It is also from your village, and it is the relative of Guardian Mei. I heard that their family is not only a scholar, but Guardian Mei's nephew Xiaomei's husband is also a 'little Sanyuan'. Mr. Hong's family is the richest man in the town, so he is willing to marry this decent family." The idles said mysteriously.

Li Facai gritted his teeth, his face turned pale with anger.

If someone intercepted the slander, he would just curse a few words; but if the Mei family intercepted the slander, he would naturally be unable to bear it and no longer need to endure it.

Seeing that he looked wrong, the group of idle people hurriedly said, "Brother Faith, you can't go and make trouble. If you really want to make trouble, I can't afford this marriage."

Li Facai smiled and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry, I won't make trouble. What's the point of getting married? This marriage is a consensual matter!" Despite this, his eyes flashed and he had a decision in his heart.

After eating the meat and the matter was said, the two of them ate the roast pork restaurant.

Li Facai hurried away, and then he helped the idle to go to the teahouse next door with a toothpick in his mouth.

When he arrived at the door of the private room, he spitted out a toothpick for his idleness, lowered his hands and said respectfully: "Fifth Master, it's OK, Li Facai's letter."

In the private room, the young man who was drinking tea slowly was nothing but Gui Wu.

Gui Wu took two pieces of silver, pushed forward, and said, "Take the pocket money."

The help was delayed, and Gui Wu took it honestly after looking at him.

"I'll collect two shops at the pier, and let your brothers go over and take a look in a few days, and learn something in the future." Gui Wu said.

Bang Xuan said gratefully: "Thank you, Master Wu!"

Gui Wu said: "Li Facai wants to sell his niece. In a few days, you will give him a letter and find a way to sign a contract and take his niece out; the Hong family..." Speaking of this, he showed disgust: "If the couple continues to do anything, they will only cheat the children of good people, and find a sensible personality from the boat to send it over, so that they can save the daughters of good people from the good people's daughters."

This is the dock, and there are many boat prostitutes, and Gui Wu is talking about these people.

It turns out that there is indeed a news of a child bride in the Hong family, but it is not Mr. Hong, but Mrs. Hong wants to find someone. She doesn't want her son to carry the name of a widower, and she doesn't want her husband to have the opportunity to sleep with other women, so she came up with such a way to buy a child bride at home.

Mr. Hong is determined to "have a grandson", how could he have the original intention?

Mrs. Hong arranged a few hiring people to find candidates, but afterwards Mrs. Hong paid double the money. No matter how powerful Mrs. Hong is, she is still a woman in the house, and things outside are easily fooled.

Even if Gui Wu was not interrupted, Li Facai would not have done anything to send his niece to the Hong family.

Bang Xian had already collected Mr. Hong's money and wanted to fool Li Facai. Today, he just added a few words, so he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with the "Fifth Master".

However, Gui Wu knew that he should not be too stingy with these people and lure them for profit, so that he could drive them better in the future. As for this group of idle brothers, he used to work as a mate in the teahouse and was an honest and capable young man. After Gui Wu left the Gui family, several brother-in-law intervened in the teahouse and excluded not many elderly people. This mate was one of them.

Gui Wu mentioned this when he heard about this.

Not to mention that Gui Wu was a little pusher in the town, Li Facai went out of Xiji Town and hired a donkey cart to return to Mujia Village.

The donkey cart went directly to Mei’s door and saw someone walking around in Mei Tongsheng’s yard.

Li Facai's eyes were full of fire and pushed the door directly into the door. A female family member came out and saw Li Facai's aggressive appearance, and was very curious.

Li Facai has always been a mess, so he went to Mei's house to go to the room regardless of whether he was careless.

In the Mei family's upper room, Mei Tongsheng and Mei Xiucai and his son were sitting in the hall, and there were two Mei tribe members on the seat.

Seeing Li Facai coming uninvited, Mei Tongsheng put down his face. Mei Xiucai frowned, but still stood up and said, "Brother Li is here, you are such a rare guest, hurry up and sit down!"

Both families are old surnames from Mujia Village. When it comes to in-laws, both families are in-laws of the Gui family. Mei Xiucai and Li Facai are of the same generation, so they have the title of "Brother Li".

When the Li family and Gui family broke off their kinship and got married to the Du family, Mei Xiucai and Li Facai were actually different from each other. Mei Xiucai married Du Lizheng's daughter, but Li Facai was Du Lizheng's brother, and in fact she became Mei Xiucai's cheap uncle.

But Mei Xiucai claims to be a scholar and looks down on the mud legs in the village. He calls him "Li Dafa" like this to give face to the Li family, let alone anything else.

Li Facai came in anger and did not sit down. He only looked at Mei Xiucai and said without a smile: "I can't sit up at Mr. Mei's seat. I just want to ask, they are all relatives, why are you doing bad things for me?"

Mei Xiucai was so sarcastic that he said unhappily: "I'm so stupid, Brother Li, what are you saying?"

Li Facai snorted coldly and said, "I only have sixty taels of silver. Why are you a scholar so greedy? You actually do a job of helping the media!"

Mei Xiucai immediately changed his face. What else can I get for 60 taels of silver? Isn’t it the marriage between the Hong family?

The other Mei family members were also holding their breath and concentrating. Just now, Mei Xiucai mentioned that Mr. Hong's family in the town saw that there were two scholars in the Mei family and wanted to marry the Mei family. Mei Xiucai originally thought about her niece Mei Duo, but she didn't want the Mei family to make her own decision to promise her niece to the Gui family, so she wanted to choose a gentle person among the clan niece and marry into the town.

What's going on with these sixty taels of silver?

Mei Tongsheng said unhappily: "Li Facai, is he drunk too much? Go home by drinking crazy, don't make a fuss at my house. This is not a place where you can be arrogant?"

Li Facai said angrily: "Who is arrogant? They are all fellow villagers in the country. You are so unkind. Everyone knows that you, father and son, are greedy, but you can't intercept them halfway! The Hong family has a good deal with me. They hired Tao'er as their daughter-in-law for sixty taels of silver. You have been stuck in a jar, but no one can tell me!"

The Mei family and his son were still angry at Li Facai's rudeness, but the Mei family members who were sitting there heard something was wrong.

Li Taoer, the niece of the Li family, has been the topic of conversation in the village these days. Some people guess who her biological father is, and some people who are in a clear mind guess that the Li family is going to sell people. If it were the Li family, the Li family would definitely not be able to watch it in vain. Only if it was not the Li family, but just a traitor, and was raised by the Li family, would they let the Li family deal with it.

Didn’t Hong’s hometown want to marry the Mei family? Why did he buy someone behind his back? Wouldn’t his son have any problems?
