Chapter 49: The Lao-in-law of Jinshan

He didn't sleep all night, but Li Zhang didn't look tired the next day. It might be because he was growing up and his energy was already very strong. The most important thing was that he figured out some things, which made him have a clearer goal in the future.

After breakfast, Li Zhang did not go out again, but instead ordered Douzi to buy some things, and then opened the door with Chou Niang and the others. However, just as they opened the door, they saw that the door was blocked by a meat mountain outside the door.

"You are here to buy braised pork for breakfast again, are you?" Li Zhang couldn't help but smile when he saw Jinshan outside the door. Compared to when he was sick two days ago, Jinshan looked much better now. The most important thing is that he seemed to have lost weight a little. I don't know if he lost weight because he was sick, or because he was afraid of getting sick again, so he began to lose weight intentionally?

"Stop kidding. Last time I went back, I scared my mother and invited the most famous doctor in Tokyo. As a result, this doctor made several taboos, including the prohibition of meat and fish. Now my mother sent people to follow me every day, which made me not see meat for two days." Jin Shan said weakly at this time. He was a real carnivorous animal. Not eating meat is like an addict who does not allow drugs. It is even more uncomfortable for him than death.

"Then you dare to come to my shop?" Li Zhang looked at the various braised pork piled on the chopping board in front of him and joked again. It was the first time he knew that there was an old lady in Kingsoft. In addition to the coachman and thugs behind Kingsoft, there was also an old lady with a serious expression. It was probably sent by Kingsoft.

"My mother has always taught me the gratitude, so I can only come to you with this reason. Even if I can't eat it, I can satisfy my craving after a few glances." Jinshan looked at the braised pork on the chopping board greedily, and his nose twitched a few times, but in the end he still closed his eyes cruelly, his face full of pain.

Letting a person who is fond of meat stand in the pile of meat and not let him eat it is simply the biggest torture, so Li Zhang simply invited Jinshan to the backyard. After all, he was a guest at the door and could not let others stand outside the door all the time.

"Brother Li, if it weren't for you that day, I'm afraid my Jinshan would have become a mountain of death." After Jinshan sat down, he immediately said to Li Zhang with a serious expression.

"You have to be polite. I just happened to know some first aid methods. Those doctors can really save you!" Li Zhang smiled modestly. Before, he actually didn't like to get in touch with people like Kingsoft. It was just that things were unpredictable. He didn't expect that he would save the other party's life.

"Brother Li, although I do not thank you for your kindness, I brought something to express my feelings. Please accept it!" Jinshan said again at this time.

However, when Li Zhang heard this, he looked at the other party with a strange look, because Jinshan was originally coming empty-handed. He was wondering why Jinshan didn't even understand the qualities. At least he was willing to carry a box of snacks, but the other party was empty-handed. Of course, Li Zhang was not a person who cared about customs and etiquette. But now when he heard what Jinshan said, he seemed to have prepared a gift. Could it be that he had put it in the carriage outside and didn't bring it in?

However, Li Zhang soon found that he had guessed wrongly. Jinshan took out a small box from his arms and put it in front of Li Zhang. This made Li Zhang a little strange. He opened the box and found that there were two pieces of paper inside. When he saw the content on the paper, Li Zhang couldn't help but look dark.

These are two loan notes. The first one is Li Yong and the usury that he had owed Jinshan Casino before. Finally, Li Zhang talked about 65 kens of kens, which were divided into ten kens per month. The second proportion is also Li Yong and the loan notes that he owed Jinshan Casino. This time, he had a little less, only twenty kens, and the date was yesterday.

"It turns out that he took the family's money to your place yesterday." Li Zhang sighed as he looked at the second loan note. He had a glimmer of hope, and even if Li Yonghe took the money to eat and drink, or to go for prostitution, he felt that it was better than gambling, but unfortunately the other party disappointed him again.

"In order to recuperate in the past few days, I rarely go to the casino. I didn't hear my subordinates say this until this morning. I'm really sorry for you. You saved my life, but you still asked your father to go to my casino and lose so much money." Jinshan said with some guilt at this time.

"You can't blame you. After all, even if there is no Kingsoft Casino, there may be Yinshan Casino and Tongshan Casino. As long as he wants to gamble, he will always find a place!" Li Zhang shook his head gently and said.

People who open casinos are indeed hateful, but they cannot blame them all. It is precisely because of too many gamblers that there are so many casinos. The trend of gambling in the Song Dynasty was even more prevalent. From princes and nobles to the people, gambling can be seen everywhere. Even though the court banned gambling several times, it still couldn't stop this trend.

"No matter what, your father lost money in my casino, so he will return these IOUs to you, just pretend he had never been to my place!" Jinshan pushed the IOUs to Li Zhang again and said.

Li Zhang looked at the two loan notes in front of him. Although he wanted to accept them, he was so debauchery that he always felt more like a kind of alms, so he felt a little uncomfortable. Finally, he reached out and pushed the loan notes to Jinshan and said, "I will not receive any reward without merit. I have never thought of repaying you to save me. I can accept other gifts, but I will not accept the money!"

"Uh?" Jin Shan didn't expect that Li Zhang would refuse to accept the loan note, which made him look at Li Zhang with a strange look. After a while, he spoke again, "This is more than 80 chunks, are you sure you don't want it?"

"I have a disadvantage. It's not that the money I earn is not comfortable to spend. However, if you are willing to buy a few kilograms of braised pork with more than 80 guan, we will pay the money and deliver the goods in the same way." Li Zhang said half-jokingly and half-seriously in the end.

Jinshan couldn't help but show a depressed expression when he heard Li Zhang's words. After a moment, he said speechlessly: "I can take out hundreds or thousands of volts of money to do some good deeds, but I don't like being a sucker. After all, I'm already very fat and don't want people to say I'm stupid anymore."

After saying that, the two looked at each other, and then laughed out loud, because they both thought that the other was a very interesting person. However, after the joke, Jinshan suddenly showed a very serious expression and stared at Li Zhang and said, "Brother Li, I don't like to owe favors. You saved my life. I must repay this favor, otherwise I will be uneasy!"

Hearing Jinshan's words, Li Zhang couldn't help but feel moved. He thought for a moment and then said, "If you really want to repay me as a favor, I really have something here that I want to ask you for help."

"If you have anything, just say it. As long as it is something I can do, I will never refuse!" Kingsoft said happily immediately.

"You just said that you don't like being a sucker, but a few days ago I had to be a sucker. Someone asked me to spend ninety cents to redeem myself for an ordinary slave..."

At that moment, Li Zhang smiled bitterly, then went to Xu's mansion to redeem Douzi's sister, and then told him about the extortion by the butler Xu. However, after hearing this, Jinshan said with a strange look: "Do you mentioned Xu Mansion live in the Xu Mansion north of Wuqi Temple?"

"Yes, I met the young master of the Xu family that day, whose name is Xu Wen. You won't know each other, right?" Li Zhang saw Jinshan's expression a little strange, and immediately asked again with some emotion.

"It's not just about knowing each other, it's my father-in-law's family. Xu Wen is my brother-in-law." Jin Shan said speechlessly again. After a long time of trouble, his father-in-law's family actually cheated Li Zhang. Now he feels that he owes Li Zhang more favors.

"You actually got married?" Li Zhang looked up and down at Jinshan, and said with surprise on his face. Although Jinshan is very fat, he is not very old, and is probably in his twenties. Of course, it is normal to get married at this age, but Li Zhang knew that it would be difficult for a couple to live a married life, so even if he got married, his wife would probably be similar to a widow.

"What do you mean? Can't I get married if I am fat?" Jin Shan also understood something from Li Zhang's eyes, and said a little annoyed. Even if he is fat, he is still a man. Men will always be very sensitive to others' doubts about their own affairs.

"This...haha~" Li Zhang smiled awkwardly when he saw the other party getting angry, not knowing what to say. But it's not surprising that Kingsoft is rich and powerful. Even if it is a combination of interests, someone will be willing to marry his daughter to him.

"I have long disliked that butler Xu. He looked smiling on the surface, but he was only concerned about making money for himself. However, my father-in-law has never driven him away because he is an old man next to him. Now he dares to cheat you, so I will ask someone to bring him, and you can do whatever you want!" Jinshan didn't want to discuss his marriage with Li Zhang anymore, so he said again, but looking at his angry look, he probably had the anger he had just blew on the butler Xu.

"There is no need to deal with it. You just need to ask him to send Douzi's sister and the contract for sale. I will give the money for the redemption according to the market price!" Li Zhang said very generously. It was not that he didn't hold grudges, but that he disdained to be calculating with villains like Butler Xu.

"Don't worry, this matter is for me!" Jin Shan patted his majestic chest and promised that Li Zhang could not care about it, but he had to care about it. What's more, he had long disliked the housekeeper Xu, and just took advantage of this to clean up the other party!
