When she said this, Ling Xiao stopped and did not speak in a hurry. Instead, she glanced at the chief and then looked at the other people. After she came in, the children and grandchildren of the chief did not dare to stay away or sit down, so they were giving her greetings.
Stand behind the long seat.
They wanted to know what was going on, but fortunately Ling Xiao had no intention of letting them leave. It would be better for a few people to listen to some things, lest anyone forget what was going on.
Even the chief didn't dare to look at Ling Xiao, and several other people didn't even dare to look at each other. They were all busy avoiding Ling Xiao's eyes, but there was also one at the back. After hearing Ling Xiao's words, he nodded and admitted that Li Han's feeling was
Really, if he were allowed to study, he would rather go home and farm.
"In fact, when he finally died, he should have felt that he was relieved. He had always felt that he was too tired to live and could not get up again. The only thing he worried about was the safety of his wife and children. Unexpectedly, someone took the opportunity to take advantage of them. Someone's
My heart is really dark." Ling Xiao said.
The women who were eavesdropping at the door of the room opened their eyes wide and listened attentively, because they could tell that the Taoist Priest seemed to have just said that someone was deliberately playing tricks on Li Han and did not want Li Han to advance and succeed in the imperial examination.
"Isn't this impossible?" Some people said softly, while others shook their heads and said: "How is it impossible? You have forgotten one thing. Li Han's mother-in-law is someone else. It is normal for some people not to want the first wife's one to become powerful.
.”
Ling Xiao heard their conversation and took out a piece of paper from his long sleeve, "Li Han probably never expected that they would treat the big house like this. The Li Shitou family didn't dare to do so when the father of the village chief was here."
It was so much that he never thought that someone was secretly plotting against him because they were his relatives."
The chief remained silent. He knew that he was an average-minded person and could not fight against that kind of smart person. It was better not to say anything. Sometimes speaking less would lead to fewer mistakes, but he also heard that the Taoist priest seemed to
Accusing Li Shitou and his family.
"Ever since Li Han and his wife lost the protection of their Song parents and the protection of Mr. Li, their lives have become difficult, because people in other houses said that Li Han spent too much money on studying, so that the family could no longer support it.
.”
After hearing this statement, Li Chang almost slapped his thigh and cursed. This was absolutely nonsense. His father told him that he could only tell Li Han after Li Han was in high school: the money for studying was not given by others, but was left by Li Han's own grandfather.
Down.
The reason why I didn't say it was because I was telling the truth, because the old man had a bright mind. If Li Han didn't pass the exam, Li Shitou and his family would not give up this huge sum of money. Naturally, the director didn't want to
He said that because the money given by Li Han's grandfather had been used up, after Li Han got married, he asked Li Shitou's family to start supporting Li Han's education.
"Li Han became depressed after hearing that the Li family's life was not good because of him. Her wife took out her embroidery and sold it after learning about her husband's family situation because she had poor legs and feet.
, every time she finished embroidery, she would give the embroidery to her mother-in-law and ask her to help sell it.
What I didn't expect was that after a trip to the county town, the mother-in-law insisted that the embroidery was not valuable. Ha! It's really funny. This person is really evil and thinks that this can erase the memory of my great-niece.
Credit?
After I rescued my grand-niece, I went to check and found that the price of each of my grand-niece's embroidery items was not less than ten taels of silver, and there were dozens of taels of silver to purchase. Just look at the amount of silver that can be found over the years.
A few hundred taels of silver, no wonder some people say they don’t make money, but they don’t need their grandnieces to work in the fields or do housework.”
The Li Chang's eyes widened when he heard the news, and he couldn't believe his ears. He never thought that Song's embroidery level was so high and he could earn so much money? No way! He remembered that Li Shitou's whole person changed later.
Looks more tired.
The women in the back were in an uproar, what was going on? They were relatively familiar with the other members of Li Shitou's family, so naturally they didn't notice that the other party was rich.
Obviously, Li Shitou and his family are talking about how much money they spent on Li Han's education, and the money they earn every year is not saved. So, is the person who is talking lying?
They had been deceived before, and now they looked a little sad because the reason why they looked down on the Song family was largely because the Song family did not pay but lived a better life than them. Now they know that is not the case.
Ling Xiao continued: "Chief, you may think that I am favoring my niece, but please look at this bill now. I have indeed made a lot of money. Do you think this money is enough for Li Han to study for the exam?"
"
The chief stretched out his hand tremblingly and took the paper handed over by Ling Xiao. He opened his eyes wide and looked at it. As a chief, he was still literate. Looking at the record above, he was sure it was a lot of money. The chief saw
Finally, his expression was very solemn.
"It is true that they have so much money, but Li Shitou and his friends don't live like rich people? Is this true?" There was some doubt in his words. If they are so rich, why do they think so of Li Shitou?
The family is not considered rich.
Everyone looked promising, so everyone believed the words of the other people in the house, thinking that they really had no money. Later, when the family was separated, some people felt that the big house had gone too far and should be separated.
Later, when the family was separated, Li Han was so angry that he vomited blood. Some people thought that Li Han was too petty. But now they know that someone has been plotting against him. Looking at this record, there is only one thought: Someone really plotted against Li Han's house.
People? So dark! The reputation of Li Han's family is not very good in the village.
"Of course! This is copied from the ledger I got from the embroidery shop. The embroidery shop's account book has records of transactions. If you don't believe it, you can ask someone for clarification. If you are not at ease, you can ask the county master for clarification." Ling Xiao
explain.
"But Li Shitou's family does seem to have no money." Someone interjected, "Their family has always eaten coarse grains, and they don't wear any good clothes, mostly clothes with patches."
"You may be wondering where the money went? Don't forget that they married men and women several times in a row, built houses, and did corvee labor, etc., all of which needed money. Recall that Li Shitou's family lived for a while
It's okay." Ling Xiao said.
The family members of the Li family recalled it for a while and then remembered that this was indeed the case. When Li Han got married, he said that he had wiped out all the family's wealth, but it did not delay the marriage of his subsequent children, and even built several additional houses.
"As for why it didn't work later, it was because Wang Li's heart had to be responsible for selling embroidery. At first, he just got the money and went to eat, drink and play by himself, or take part of the money home.
But later on, after getting the money, he not only had to eat, drink and whore, but also learned to go to the casino. He became a gambler and thought about how he could become rich by gambling every day. As a result, he threw all the money earned by the Song family into the casino and transferred it to the casino.
I just went back and said that I didn't get much money, and lied to my niece and nephew to continue embroidering.
After selling the money, I went to the casino to make a fortune. People who have a gambling addiction basically cannot give up. Anyway, when I have no money, I let my sister-in-law do embroidery. This time I still lost the bet and I have no money to pay back. Plus, my grandnephew
After the woman's hand was injured and she could no longer embroider, she sold her sister-in-law's dian. It was too bad."
The head of the family was a little confused. They also knew that Li Shitou's wife loved the youngest son Li Hai the most. Li Han did not go to the fields in the village, so Li Hai, the youngest one, did not go to the fields. He often
I went to the county town to work part-time and came back with some money every once in a while.
Previously, Mr. Li Wang had always boasted about his son's ability, but he never expected that it would be like this. He just fooled the people in the village. Everyone said that the boy was motivated. At this moment, the village chief and his family didn't know what to say.
The whole thing is subverted.
Ling Xiao looked at the strange family and did not speak immediately. Instead, he sat there quietly and waited for them to accept the reality. In fact, the reason why the lie was not exposed was because the villagers generally did not enter the county town and could say whatever they wanted.
What to say, and they still remember that guy really moved into the county town.
Only then did the family members realize that they had been deceived, and the women were even more angry. If they had known that Song's embroidery was so valuable, they would have sent their daughters there to teach them not to be as good as Song.
, half of it is done.
Ah! They were very angry just thinking about it. They naturally recognized that the person who came out with the Taoist leader was the Song family. Naturally, they also discovered that this person was wrapped in three-inch golden lotus. Only now did they realize that this kind of person could not work in the fields at all, so before
Their jealousy seems ridiculous now. Do they need to compete with the Song family?
When the woman in Li Chang's family was reflecting, Li Chang was stunned at this moment. He remembered his father saying: Gambling is one of the things that this person cannot get involved in. Once he gets involved, he is likely to lose his entire family. The most terrifying thing is that he becomes addicted to gambling.
As long as people can get money, they can do anything.
But what does this noble person mean? The chief still has some doubts in his heart. He doesn't know if Ling Xiao said it on purpose, or if he told a lie, or if he just wanted to kill people with a borrowed knife and let him deal with Li Shitou's family.
But then I thought about it, did he have the right to refuse?
After Ling Xiao saw it, he said: "Pindao didn't frame others. In order to know where the money earned by his grandniece went, he asked Luo Da to help him find it, only to find that the guy turned out to be a frequent visitor to the casino.
It's only been four years since your father died, right? At that time, the Li family had already begun to eat up the money earned by my niece and nephew. Li Hai was responsible for selling embroidery from the beginning, saying that he had acquaintances and could sell it at a higher price.
My great-niece had never been an embroiderer before and didn't know the price at all, so she was deceived. The ten taels of silver were said to be one tael. Later, Li Hai kept making the price difference. Even so, it was still a lot of money.
The Li family also had money for their wedding. After getting married, Li Hai used the money he had withheld to buy a small courtyard in the county town. Later, he said that he was working in the county town and living in the small courtyard.
After a while, I went back to the village to get embroidery. After getting the money, part of it was given to his wife as private money. Some of it was taken back to the village for household use. Some of it was saved and tried to make a fortune, but it failed again and again.
.
In the end, he entered the casino, lost a lot of money in the casino, and had a lover in the brothel. I asked Mr. Luo to have people check the following things. Is it true? Mr. Luo. "
Luo Da kept his body upright, standing with his right hand holding the handle of the knife. Hearing this, he nodded repeatedly and said: "It's true, it's absolutely true. Those people in the casino still wonder how Li Hai is rich, but they only need money from gamblers."
Just fine.
When I went to check, I found out that he had spent almost the money from selling his sister-in-law during this period. The casino began to press for debts. He took part of the money from his wife and it was not enough. I heard someone from the casino said that he wanted to bring some people to the casino.
Gambling is not about gambling. Who will be the next victim?"
Ling Xiao glanced vaguely at his eldest grandson, who was just over ten years old. He happened to look at Ling Xiao. When the two people's eyes met, the other party immediately felt like someone had discovered something wrong. How could he?
It feels like he will be the next victim.
Just yesterday I met Li Hai who was returning to the village, and I told him: If you want to take him to play outside, you won't take yourself to the casino to play, right? Thinking of this, he felt something was wrong, wasn't it? Oh my God!
The head of the village also remembered that his eldest grandson had just said last night that he would follow Li Hai to work in the county. Before, they all thought that Li Hai had connections in the county, but now they realized that he had no good connections at all. A person who likes gambling, Da
There is a chance that he will not be willing to earn money honestly.
Before, the Li family said that Li Hai worked in the city and got some wages back every once in a while. Now they realized that he was not earning money honestly at all, or he was just a guy who gambled with his sister-in-law's money. Now he has no money and has a new life.
Isn't his plan to deceive people into entering the casino to gamble? He probably wants to take a commission.
The daughter-in-law, who grew up in the room, felt something was wrong when she heard this, because the person Li Hai was looking for during this period was his son, and his son was the target of deception. She almost jumped when she thought of this. But because she thought of everyone’s parents
Still there, she didn’t go out, but walked around in the room,
It's really hateful! She actually set her sights on her son! Speaking of which, she didn't face Ling Xiao directly, so naturally she didn't know about the pressure. At first, she didn't want to care about it, but now she has another idea.
:How to make Li Shitou’s family’s reputation become bad?
Now she only has one idea: to try to get the family out as soon as possible. With such a gambler around, people in the village usually won't be too cautious. If one mistake is made, something will happen.
She used to dislike the Song family. On the one hand, she felt that she was an anomaly among the women in the village. She worked as a young mistress at home every day, completely ignoring the hard work of her family. Therefore, the Song family had a bad reputation in the village.
Only now did I realize that I had misunderstood the Song family. Although they did not work in the fields, they had been earning money at home. Although they were deceived, they were definitely not people who did not earn money. They should be taken care of anyway.
