While Li Changgeng and his wife were busy making paper figures and horses for the old man's funeral, Li Waner helped look after his younger brother. At night, when his younger brother fell asleep, he would also help his parents with some business work.
Even though Li Waner is only twelve years old, she is already pretty decent at work.
The lifelike appearance of the paper figures she made was no worse than her father's.
The Sun family was very relieved to leave the paper-making work to Li Changgeng's family.
Most of the Sun family are very kind, except for the youngest, the Fifth Master, who is incompetent.
After the death of his old man, he not only failed to observe filial piety at home, but felt that his father's passing had deprived the family of control, so he indulged in drinking and playing cards every day, and often had to play outside with his friends until late at night before returning home.
This fifth master has a son named Sun Yaozu. Because he lacked the control of his father since he was a child, his temperament is similar to that of his father. He is not yet sixteen years old, but he is already a frequent visitor in the flower streets and willow lanes of the town.
On this day, Sun Yaozu drank flower wine in the town and did not return until midnight. In a daze, he saw a very delicate and beautiful little girl. He immediately felt malicious and walked towards the little girl with a lewd smile.
past.
Unexpectedly, there were two blank paper figures standing next to the little girl!
That was Li Waner, helping her parents with their work.
Sun Yaozu was startled by the two white paper figures. Not only was he sober, his legs were weak and he fell down, knocking off one of his front teeth.
After this accident, in order to avenge his lost teeth, Sun Yaozu brought a group of gangsters and beat up Li Changgeng.
Li Changgeng, who was injured, went to seek an explanation from the Sun family, and was arranged by the Sun family to live in the Silent Garden to recuperate from his injuries.
As a result, the paper-making work can only be left to Li Waner and Li Wu, mother and daughter.
Although the Sun family did not have the old man in charge at that time, there was still Mr. Sun Wu's elder brother.
Under the orders of several other masters of the Sun family, Mr. Sun Wu had to take his son Sun Yaozu to apologize to Li Changgeng. They brought the gifts they bought and doctors from the town who specialized in treating bruises.
Doctor, diagnosed and treated Li Changgeng.
Not only were Mr. Sun Wu and his son ordered to apologize to Li Changgeng, but they were also ordered to kneel down in the ancestral hall for their misbehavior during the old man's funeral.
Father and son are usually very pampered, so how could they have ever suffered such a sin?
The two of them knelt for a short time, and not only did their legs become numb, but even their knees turned blue. While kneeling in the ancestral hall, they talked in low voices and cursed several brothers of the Sun family.
As the father and son talked, Sun Yaozu actually had a vicious plan in his mind.
"Dad, when the second uncle, the third uncle, and the fourth uncle treat us like this, they obviously do not regard us as a family! As the saying goes, it is ungentleman not to avenge a grudge. Are we, father and son, just allowed to be bullied by them?" Sun Yaozu said.
.
When Master Sun Wu heard this, he first clenched his fists and shouted vigorously, telling Sun Yaozu that he would not be a gentleman if he did not take revenge.
But then, he suddenly thought of something.
How could a dandy like him, who was industrious and indifferent to grain and grain, be able to dominate the countryside and indulge in pleasures and indulgences if he did not rely on the protection of his family.
Unexpectedly, Sun Yaozu immediately put forward a different opinion.
"Dad, after all these years, we have spent money from our family's public debt, and how often do we have to look at other people's faces?"
