Yan Laoer was careful and knew that there was not so much good paper at home, so he went to the bookstore and bought half a knife before going back.
When I came back, I found that neither my eldest niece nor his daughter had written.
Yan Laoer was a little anxious: "Why don't you stop copying? I called everyone in the village, don't stop, I'm too old..."
Qianchu pursed her lips and smiled, while Yan Yu rolled her eyes.
Rubbing his little wrist.
"My good dad, even if we are willing to copy them one by one and send them to Yongning County Government, will they be willing to accept them? So many..." She gestured exaggeratedly.
"Uncle, dad is already writing. It's a long scroll." Qianchu explained kindly.
Yan Laoer slapped himself on the forehead.
"Yes, yes, just press one button."
Yan Huaiwen wrote very quickly. The people in Xiaoan Village did not enter the alley, but wandered around the alley entrance. When they heard that they had pressed their fingerprints, they lined up one by one to go in, and they went in and out in a very orderly manner.
Mrs. Tian stood in the courtyard. Every time someone came in, she would say thank you and invite them to come in for a drink of hot water. If they brought their children, she would give them coins and let them buy snacks.
Li Xuemei stood next to her and introduced the person to her. After a while, Yan Yu ran over and took over her mother's place. With a small mouth, she not only introduced the people in the village, but also told them that this was her grandma.
.
The people in Xiaoan Village are used to taking turns doing this kind of work. They are like this when they receive money. They are very familiar with it and don't stay too much. They just leave quickly after pressing the button.
Facing the eldest master's wife, she was more nervous than the eldest master in person.
…
Mr. Tian entered the city quietly, so naturally he had to leave quietly.
Yan Huaiwen wants to go with him. Yan Laoer knows what's wrong with his brother. Without the eldest master, he can't go back...
"...As soon as this matter is completed, the documents will be sent to the Yongning County Yamen archives for sealing." Yan Huaiwen warned.
"Brother, I have written it down." Yan Laoer solemnly promised.
Yan Huaiwen nodded.
Mr. Tian: "God bless, your wife..."
Yan Laoer rushed to speak: "Teacher, please don't be reluctant. The master's wife must live with us. The waiter's mother is about to give birth, so there is a lack of a backbone like the master's wife to control the house at home. You can be merciful and let the master's wife live with us."
Worry, worry."
Mr. Tian laughed so hard that his eyebrows trembled.
Smiling, a few drops of crystal flashed in his eyes.
"Your wife and I have endured hardship for most of our lives and have never enjoyed a single day of happiness. God bless me. The most right thing I have done in my life is to accept you as my disciple..." He patted Yan Laoer's hand.
He used too much strength on his shoulders and said with a smile: "I'm leaving as a teacher."
…
Yan Laoer returned to the alley and clearly felt the changes in his neighbors.
He became more enthusiastic, and the smile on his face became more genuine. The temptation to nag him and inquire about him suddenly disappeared. It was not that they didn't want to, but that they didn't dare.
The difference in status suddenly distances people from each other.
Yan Laoer felt this difference again.
Gouzhu was a conscientious caretaker, and Yan Yu's orders to him were very clear: to care for the home and the courtyard.
Yan Laoer saw it as soon as he entered the courtyard. He rolled his eyes and had an idea.
"Xiao Er, Xiao Er!"
"Here we come!" Yan Yu ran over and raised his head: "Dad, please call me."
"Does the Liu family raise chickens?" Yan Laoer squatted down and asked in a low voice.
Yan Yu also squatted down, and the father and daughter naturally held their hands, one big and one small, exactly the same.
"It's okay." Yan Yu whispered, her eyes rolling. "Dad, what do you think?"
"Let the dog go and kill one of his chickens." Yan Laoer had a bad idea.
Yan Yu chuckled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes: "Only bite him to death? Not hold him back?"
Yan Laoer said sternly: "Tsk! Look at you, what do you think of your father? Is your father like that? Your uncle said that his family must sign a confession, admitting that they defrauded your grandma of money, no?
Your grandma wants to buy someone else's grandson. You can talk about it, but it can't be included in the paperwork. In the paperwork, it means that the Liu family cheated the money. If you can pay it back, let's go ahead. If you can't, it doesn't matter. It's fine if you don't want the five taels of silver, but it can't be involved.
Go buy the kids."
This involved the uncle's personal instructions to her father in private, and Yan Yu listened attentively.
"Why can't you buy a child? Ordinary people can't use slaves, but officials can use them. If a family is rich, they don't want to add two servants to free up their hands and grab a lot. No one will care. There should be no arrests.
If you talk like this, there will be too many people buying people." She couldn't understand.
"You are too naive to imagine what those evil-hearted people can do. Your uncle said that Sanqiu is not easy to support, and the Liu family doesn't seem like a family willing to spend money to raise their children carefully. What if... what if?
The child is gone, and we have to prevent the Liu family from causing trouble again. Think about it, the Liu family originally wanted to distribute your grandson's family's extreme wealth. Your grandma was kind-hearted and didn't give the child a birthright. She didn't want to
He is a little slave, otherwise with the deed of sale in hand, we really have nothing to fear.
Raising children for free and giving money back, where can you find such a good thing, but the Liu family is not satisfied, this family is so greedy!"
Yan Laoer sighed.
Yan Yu pursed her lips tightly and nodded seriously.
"What the uncle is thinking is that if we take one more step now, it will cost us a lot of money at most." She turned around and ordered Gouzi: "Hang in there, wait until dark when you go to Liu's house and kill the chicken. Be careful and don't call anyone."
If you see it, the traces will be swept away."
Gouzhu nodded, changed from sitting to lying down, put the dog's head on his paws, twitched his ears, and stared at the two men without blinking.
Yan Yu stretched out her hand to touch the dog's head and narrowed her eyes happily.
"Tomorrow I will call for people to set up the stall for buying charcoal." Yan Yu decided to implement the plan to block the alley, just to make life difficult for the Liu family and make his family unhappy.
Yan Laoer said: "Yes, just block it. If his family doesn't come to apologize, we won't mention it, so we'll just leave their door open and the stove broken to see who can hold it in."
"What else did uncle tell you?" Yan Yu asked.
Yan Laoer is so satisfied that someone can finally talk about it.
He started from the beginning.
"Your uncle said that we were wrong from the beginning. You were right the other day when you clamored to drag Mrs. Liu to the court to fight." Yan Laoer patted the snow on his left arm and pulled his daughter under the eaves of the door.
The two men squatted and moved together.
"Let the Liu family sue us first, and we will be passive. We have to change our thinking when something happens. We are not ordinary people now. Your master is a seventh-grade official. Your uncle has a reputation. Our family has half a foot in the official circle.
, you need to consider more.
We are waiting for her to file a lawsuit. We have to find out when she will file a lawsuit and when she will go to court. It is inconvenient to ask for money and favors at her own time.
It's up to me to file a complaint. We can decide the time ourselves. The best thing is, since your master is an official, if you take his name and go directly to Yongning County to file a complaint, Yongning County can send people to pick up the person and take the person back. It's the same.
If there are not so many people watching in court, the matter will not escalate. For officials, official reputation is very important, and confronting the people in court... is really unwise and especially stupid."
The former sentence was said by his brother, and the latter sentence was summed up by him.
