Li Jishan was speechless for a moment, but he quickly reacted and pointed at Yingbao: "Since I have recovered from the illness and will not go to the scientific examination, why did I bring those people home?"
Yingbao didn't wait for Li Xu to answer, and said arrogantly: "Because he owes him medical expenses, which is very rich! Of course he wants to come and beg for it!"
Li Xu nodded: "My nephew indeed owes the doctor money for consultation and medicine, and now he is unable to pay it back."
Upon hearing the uproar, everyone turned their attention to the village leader Li Jishan.
Everyone in the village knew that Li Xu's twenty acres of unencumbered land was not allocated to Li Jishan's family, and Ye Qin had to do so for three years.
And during those three years, Li Jishan seemed to have done nothing to his eldest nephew.
Not only did she not say anything, Li Jishan's wife often said outside that if she had known that the family would not have been separated, her family would have been spared a corvee.
As soon as Li Jishan heard that, his expression changed unexpectedly. He paused for a while and then reluctantly said, "If he believes me just once, he will pay for the medical expenses!"
Ying Bao: "Okay, Ye Yi has fifty taels of silver, he can leave as soon as he gets it."
"Wha, what?" Li Jishan was dumbfounded: "Fifty taels? What kind of medicine is so expensive?"
Ying Bao: "The medicine is not precious, but can it bring my nephew back from hell?"
"I...talked nonsense! He wouldn't believe it!" Li Jishan was embarrassed and annoyed, turned around and left.
Before leaving, he said: "Li Xu, he has to go back first. I will go to his house to talk in detail later."
Li Xu looked at his uncle's leaving figure and sighed secretly.
While I was lying in the inn, I suddenly thought about many things.
It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others. No matter what clan or relatives you have, they are nothing.
Just like his biological uncle, while enjoying the benefits he has given, he secretly hopes that he will be unlucky.
The uncle's youngest son once got drunk and pointed at Li Xu and said: "A pauper like me should never be able to turn around in his life. Do you think I will look down on the scholar who passed the exam? Then he can show off his power in front of us? Tell me! Dream on!"
Li Xu was very frightened at the time. He didn't know why Hong's cousin would talk about him like that. Seeing that he looked drunk, he thought he was drunk and not clear-headed, talking nonsense.
Now that I think about it, if my eleven or twelve-year-old cousin said those words at the celebration banquet of his middle school student, he must have heard what his parents said behind his back.
Li Xu lost his father when he was young, and he and his mother depended on each other. In the first few years, he could not even eat dumplings during the New Year.
His mother refused to support his education, sold the family land, and worked on embroidery day and night.
Obviously my uncle's family lives next door, but I have never received any help from them.
After he became a student, his uncle was more polite to him, but he often belittled him in front of outsiders, saying that he had been stupid since he was a child, and failed to pass the exam. The county magistrate saw that he was an orphan and pitiful, so he deliberately let him go.
The uncle didn't know whether the college examination was actually held in the capital city, and the person supervising the examination was not a county magistrate, but a political officer.
"Young doctor, you made me laugh."
Li Xu lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Is it true that a junior student can go to my hometown to teach students?"
"Okay, his father is a village official. Our village has a ready-made school, but we can't find a suitable teacher for a while."
"Okay! Let him go!" Li Xudong made up his mind and then asked hesitantly: "Young doctor, can you bring your mother with you?"
Yingbao: "Of course. The school in our village is very big. It has several rooms and a big yard. It's as big as a mule. When the original teacher left, there were only a few hens left. If we go
, those hens are all ours to raise, and the eggs of Dong are also ours."
While she was fooling around, she peeked at Li Xu.
If not, I can take a scholar and go back to be a private school teacher, no matter how good I am.
Because the scholar has examination experience, it is better for him to teach the children than those children who can enlighten the children.
"Thank you so much, young doctor." Li Xu bowed deeply to Ying Bao, "Let's set off in the bright moon."
Ying Bao smiled with crooked eyebrows and nodded: "Okay, let's set off in the bright moon."
I was originally very worried that my mother-in-law, the shopkeepers, wanted to switch to Chemi Badgerna. It would be much safer to have a scholar accompanying her on the journey.
However, at noon that day, when Li Xu was applying for household registration for his mother, he was blocked by his uncle.
Li Jishan angrily scolded his nephew: "My mother is not a widow, how can I lead her around?"
Li Xu said coldly: "His mother has been a filial piety for his father for thirteen years. Even if she remarries now, no one else has the right to interfere."
"Me!" Li Jishan slapped the table angrily: "He is not the head of the Li family, so we can't stop messing around."
Li Xu raised his eyes and looked at his uncle: "Uncle, since you said that, please lend your nephew fifty taels of silver. My nephew will give the little miracle doctor the medical money and send them away. My nephew does not have to follow to earn money and be in debt."
Well, wait until my nephew wins the exam, and then I’ll give the uncle a bad look."
"Can I win the election?" Li Jishan sneered: "Can I win the election? Don't have such wishful thinking! He won't waste money on me!"
Li Xu grinned and laughed at himself: "Since the uncle refuses to borrow money, the nephew can go out to earn money and be in debt. But when he leaves, the mother will be blind and helpless, so the nephew must take her with him."
Li Jishan's mouth moved a few times, but he made no sound.
Seeing this, Li Zheng, who was standing next to him, quickly wrote a reason for his trip and took Li Xu to the nearest post office to have the letter stamped so that he could send it to the county government for filing.
Ruming said that although it is much more convenient for good people to travel, they are not as strict as before, but they still have to do what they need to do to avoid being caught in other places.
Li Xu took the household registration certificate, looked at it carefully, and then returned home.
Early the next morning, the ox cart hired by Li Xu arrived, and everyone went to move things on the cart.
Li Xu supported his mother on the cart and walked away. Yong Tuo locked the door behind the bamboo fence and then walked on the cart.
The oxcart drove for several hours and finally arrived at Mingjiang Pier before dark.
This is a bustling market town, and even though it's dark, there are still many shops open for business.
Li Xuxian ransacked an inn, settled everyone, and then went to the dock alone to inquire about the ships passing through Qinchuan County.
It turned out that he actually heard that a merchant ship would dock at the dock in Qinchuan County.
Li Xu was so happy that he asked if the ship could carry passengers. He was even more excited.
But the ship owner said that their merchant ship will depart at Yin time tomorrow, so the guests must be on the ship before Yin time, and they will not wait if they are late.
Li Xulian went to ensure that he would be on the boat in advance, and then he happily ran back to tell his mother-in-law and Aunt Jiang.
Chun Niang was very happy and took her daughter's leg to promise that she would get up early tomorrow.
Finally able to return to her hometown safely, Chun Niang breathed a sigh of relief.
The anxiety and worry of those days were finally relieved, and Chun Niang couldn't help crying.
Yingbao patted her mother and said, "Mom, when we get home, he will send a letter to the king. Not only did Xiao Chengjun deliberately abandon us, but he also took away the gold and cloth given by the emperor. If the things in the box are
He will never give up if one thing is missing!"
More than a hundred taels of gold is not a small amount, and there are dozens of pieces of silk.
Even though Xiao Chengjun is a son of a noble family, he has no property, only a small amount of salary and occasional rewards, and even a small amount of money is enough for him to drink a pot.
