The last stack of ledgers was moved away by Li Heng. Cheng Xue touched her stomach and felt a little hungry.
Looking up at the sky, it's almost noon and it's time to cook.
"Mom, the leftovers from getting up early are not enough. Do you want to stew some beans?"
"You don't want to go to the stew now. You can go to Wei's house in the south of the village to pick up a piece of tofu and pull it out."
"Okay."
The conversation between mother and daughter in the yard was overheard by the father and son in the study.
Li Heng rolled his eyes, leaned over the account book and said:
"Dad, can you let me go fishing in the river in the afternoon? My sister happened to be buying tofu, so let's save half a piece to catch fish sauce in the evening. Dad must be thinking about it after not eating for a long time."
Mom loves dad the most, so under the guise of "dad wants to eat", she will definitely let him go out.
He is going crazy these days!
After breakfast, you have to read and write. After you read, you have to write, and after you finish, you have to be punished.
After finally finishing writing the punishment, his mother arranged work for him.
Instead of letting him look at the four eggs, let him go to the barn to pick up firewood.
He was about to pluck out the flowers from the stack of firewood.
The child couldn't hide his thoughts. Li Hui looked at the tall stack of account books and saw his eyes full of hope, and finally couldn't bear to refuse.
"Okay, you can fish, but I have to follow..."
"Dad, what are you going to do?" Li Heng stood up and refused, "Dad has so many account books to do, I can just go by myself. If that doesn't work, I'll find a roller and a bolt, and the three of us will go together."
"Then don't go."
After Li Hui finished speaking, he stood up without any discussion.
Li Heng quickly hugged his arm and said flatteringly:
"Go, dad has to go. It's best if dad follows us and we'll be safe."
After saying that, Li Heng felt that the action was too intimate and wanted to let go. Li Hui took the opportunity to close the relationship and raised his hand to flick his forehead.
"Now do you know how good your father is? If you are obedient, I will take you up the mountain to catch pheasants after the snow falls."
"Really?" Li Heng was excited, then curled his lips and shook his head, "No, my mother can't let me."
"I'll take you there, your mother can do it. But you have to be obedient, study hard, and keep running."
"That's no problem! I'm afraid dad won't be able to hold on."
"How could I give up halfway? Who am I looking down on!"
Just as he was talking, Li Hui saw Huzi, who had been lying on the ground and dozing, suddenly stood up, then walked to the entrance of the courtyard, his waist naturally collapsed.
Is this someone coming?
Logically speaking, a newly bought dog shouldn't be so adaptable, but it happened to be.
Li Hui came out to open the door, and Li Fang happened to be standing at the door.
Seeing the tiger ready to attack in the courtyard, the old man instinctively took two steps back and said:
"Hey Huizi, you have to keep your dog on a leash. This little beast of yours just tore the hem of Wan Shan Niang's clothes. It's pretty fierce. How many months? How much did it cost?"
Always showing his calculations on his face, Li Fang is really a weirdo.
Li Hui closed the courtyard door without inviting him into the house.
"Second uncle, don't you know why Wan Shan Niang's clothes are broken?"
Li Fang frowned and looked unhappy.
"No matter what the reason is, it just doesn't bite. What if it bites? It's a village, a clan, how bad it is!"
"What's wrong? If I bite her, she'll be in trouble. Who told her to rush to my house?" Li Hui refused to give in.
Since you have decided to travel across the map, the relationship is enough. Who will know whom after leaving!
Li Fang was too lazy to chat with him and asked impatiently:
"Will your wife stay at home? I have something to do with her."
"Uncle, if you have something to do, just tell me, my wife..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Fang interrupted him with a scold——
"Is it useful to tell you? Are you in charge? Are you in charge?"
Li Hui didn't get used to it and raised his eyebrows with a sneer:
"Why, the second uncle also wants to say that my family is a hen Si Chen? My wife is lying on the kang feeling uncomfortable after the quarrel with Wan Shan Niang. If the second uncle wants to say it, just tell me, and if he doesn't want to say it, please come back."
As soon as Li Heng in the yard heard this, he immediately went to the east room to report to his mother, asking her to "feel uncomfortable" as soon as possible.
Li Fang saw that he was determined not to let him enter the house, so he deliberately sighed.
"Huizi, you feel like a different person since you woke up after being smashed. What did your mother say in your dream?"
"Second uncle came here specially to ask my mother what she told me in her dream? Didn't he come to pay off the debt for Wan Shan's mother?"
Seeing that he was still refusing to get to the point, Li Hui simply made it clear.
After dinner, you have to take your children down to the river to fish, so you can’t waste time.
Li Fang's face became even worse, and he angrily took out a bunch of money from his arms——
"Huizi is trying to climb a high tree, and he doesn't want to talk to me, an old guy. Your family is well-off, and things will continue to happen in my family after the new year, but I know what Wanshan Niang borrowed..."
"Second uncle really knows? What she borrowed that day was a pound of brown sugar. Does uncle think that a bunch of money can pay off the brown sugar, millet, and sticky rice?"
Li Fang gritted his molar teeth and made a "creak... creak..." sound. He took out two more strings of money from his arms and said angrily:
"Why are you so anxious? I haven't paid all the money yet! One tael of brown sugar costs eight cents, can I still settle the account? After all, I am a scholar!"
Li Hui heard the meaning of his words, but this old guy was really naive, thinking that he was still the same Li Hui!
After taking all three strings of money, Li Fang looked at Pickle's expression happily.
"Since my second uncle knows that he is a scholar, I will tell you some things directly. Over the years, we both know very well how my family has treated the clan and how the clan has treated my family.
Not arguing or making trouble doesn't mean that I, Li Hui, am inconsiderate. I just don't want to cause trouble and make other people laugh. As my uncle said, you can't write two Lis in one stroke. But uncle, the rabbit is going to bite someone if it's anxious, let alone
Say I'm still a man.
Xue Niang is my lifeblood, and I will risk my life for whoever touches her. Li Qingchuan that day is a living example. If my uncle feels that life is too stable, I don’t mind finding something for him to do."
"You...what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting." Li Hui smiled scornfully, "Wan Shanniang came to my wife to ask for justice for being kicked back home at the age of 18. I plan to go to town after lunch and ask the boss to go to your house in person.
I didn’t have this ability before, but now I have it.”
The half-truths and half-false words finally made Li Fang completely panic.
He knew from the last time his son was kicked home that the forest farm chose Li Hui.
Although I feel unwilling to do so, the forestry farm belongs to the imperial court. Although the chief shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper are just doing business, they are "seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door". They have connections, and he is definitely not a small scholar who can compete with them.
Seeing that Li Hui was really coming, he hurriedly showed weakness and said:
"Don't, don't, don't trouble the shopkeeper. He's so busy. It's my uncle's fault. He didn't explain it to Wan Shan Niang. You are a good boy. For the sake of your surname, you can give your uncle face. This
Things got messed up.
Take the money, and I will give you twenty... no, thirty, uncle will give you thirty more eggs so that your wife can take good care of herself. Don't worry about Wan Shan Niang, I will give you thirty when I get back.
Tell her, I will definitely not let your wife suffer in vain, definitely, definitely."
After saying that, Li Fang turned around and ran away, fearing that he would catch up if he was too late and cause trouble again.
I forgot, I forgot, Huizi valued the Yu family, and he actually forgot about this...
