Shortly after Mr. Lu left, many people came outside the hospital.
There was a lot of talk, and the general idea was that the patriarch was sick this year and couldn't write the couplet, so let them come here.
It was an expected thing, but Cheng Xue felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She was bound by the laws and clan rules, and she really wanted to curse every minute.
Take a deep breath, adjust your mentality, and say:
"Thank you all for trusting Huizi. However, the couplets and father and son need to be written word by word. He doesn't have enough hands, so each person can only order one set. The remuneration remains unchanged, five eggs, one couplet, and two characters "福"
."
Most people can accept it, but there are always those who are alienated from others, such as Li Fang's younger brother and a man from the Lu family - Li Nan.
"Tiedan Niang, in the past years, my brother would write as much as he wanted. Why is it so troublesome to come to your house? My brother has been writing the couplets in these years. This year, it should be your turn. How can I return the couplets?
Don’t you know how to repay your kindness?”
Oh, you really dare to say it!
Cheng Xue chuckled, looked at him calmly and said:
"Uncle Nan, please help me figure it out. What does it mean that it's Huizi's turn to write the couplet? What does it mean that Huizi needs to know how to repay his kindness? You haven't been looking for him all these years. Now the patriarch can't write it. Hurrah and come over. Hui
The son is a human being, not an animal. He has to eat, rest, and go to the hut."
"You..."
"What's wrong with me?" Cheng Xue didn't give him a chance to refute, "You also said that in previous years, you would ask the clan leader to write couplets. So in previous years, do you always go to the clan leader to make couplets on the last day of the year? Ah——"
Now Li Nan was completely speechless.
On weekdays, he relies on his brother as the leader of the clan, and always puts up a show in the clan. Everyone knows that he is a fake and powerful person, so it is not uncommon for them to pay attention to him.
Now when someone confronts me, I become honest instantly.
"Uncle Nan, I originally planned to save face for you, but you don't want to, so don't blame me for speaking badly. My aunt came here just now and said that the clan leader asked Huizi to hand over half of the eggs earned from writing couplets to the clan."<
/p>
"Ah, what the hell, shouldn't it be?"
"Then I want to ask Uncle Nan, has the clan leader made friends before?" Cheng Xue asked.
"I paid it, why didn't I pay it? I paid it all!"
"Okay! Everyone heard it. Uncle Nan said that the clan leader handed it over. Then I want to see the account books. As long as it is in the account book, I will hand over the eggs without any hesitation. If not, Uncle Nan, what do you think we should do?"
Cheng Xue's step-by-step guidance finally allowed Li Nan to shoot himself in the foot. He made the decision to hand over half of the eggs, but Li Qingnian ignored him, so he "fakely preached the imperial edict."
Now we really have to make a fuss... No, we can't make a fuss!
"Daughter-in-law Huizi, you want to rebel?! Who are you? You're still looking at the clan's account books. I'm not even qualified to look at them. You want to read them? I'm bah——"
Li Nan's sudden high-pitched voice startled everyone.
Li Wangdeng saw the formality clearly and pretended to be impatient and said:
"Uncle Nan, why are you messing around here and delaying us all? If the patriarch had said earlier that he wouldn't write this year, we would have come a long time ago. Why do we have to wait until now to embarrass Huizi and his wife?"
When he opened his mouth, several clan members became uneasy and complained one after another——
"That's right. It's unreliable to do things day in and day out. You have to be more proactive than anyone else."
"That's not good. Why doesn't sister-in-law Li Hui have the right to see the account books? All Li clan members have the right to see the account books. This is the rule of the Liangyan Dynasty."
"Uncle Nan, it's Huizi's freedom to write more or less couplets. Even if he doesn't write any couplets, you just watch! They've done a good job, so don't pretend to be confused because you understand." "Zhengzi is right. Remember when we went to the clan leader to write a couplet, Li Qingnian paid 2,580,000 yuan, so everyone has not forgotten it!
When it comes to repaying gratitude, Li Hui was the one responsible for the firecrackers in the clan these years; the clan food was also handed over to Li Hui; and even the offerings for the Qingming Festival were provided by Li Hui. Where did all the clan money go?"
The person who said this is Li Laosan’s nephew—Li Qingyu.
He suddenly dug up the old account, which immediately caused many people to question it. There must be treachery, but there are also truly awakened tribesmen.
Seeing that Li Nan couldn't handle the matter anymore, he turned around and ran away, saying "unreasonable". Everyone saw that he was running away, but the couplet was about to come, and no one had time to pay attention to him.
"Sister-in-law Li Hui, I'll order a set for my family. You can write whatever you like. You don't have to choose. Just put a picture of the door to celebrate."
"That's it, brothers and sisters. I also ordered a set for my family. You can write whatever you want. I'm sorry to bother Huizi."
"My home..."
"..."
After Cheng Xue wrote down the name of the designated person, she wrote:
"Go home and wait. If it's not delivered tonight, come and pick it up early tomorrow morning."
Everyone thanked and left one after another. Cheng Xue closed the courtyard door and returned to the study.
After writing the couplet, Cheng Xue matched the two characters "福" according to the couplet, tied it with hemp rope, and put it into the basket.
Li Qingshan and the others had already delivered the eggs, so they asked Li Heng to run errands to deliver them to them first.
After burning the incense, Li Heng came back and Cheng Xue gave him a few pieces of candy. They were all candies bought from Fucheng, which were soft and very sweet.
"Son, if you send these two older ones to Third Grandpa, say they are from the clan school and ancestral hall."
"Okay." Li Heng had everything he needed, so he picked it up and ran away.
He thought simply, thinking that if he went to the patriarch's house to see him off, his mother would be worried about him fighting with Li Wanshan.
Li Hui took advantage of Yan Yixin's convenience and chuckled:
"Are you instigating it now?"
"Wrong, they have already started to take action." Cheng Xue defended herself, "Anyway, it will be exposed in the next spring. Li Laosan will slowly make progress, and when the time comes, it will be done once and for all. I just don't know if he will change as the leader of the clan.
."
After all, Li Laosan's character is average.
"Don't worry, he is timid and will not harm his life for money."
If Li Xiang hadn't disappeared suddenly, Li Fang would have been arrested by now.
It can only be said that good things take a long time, and the more they work, the better they become.
The couplets and the character "福" were written until 2:00 pm. Cheng Xue cooked some dumplings for them. After eating, they washed up and went back to their respective houses.
Li Hui entered the room and saw that Cheng Xue had not yet laid down. He walked up to her and said:
"Please help me with cupping. My shoulders and neck are too uncomfortable."
"Shall I give you two injections?"
"No, just cupping." Li Hui declined.
He didn't get dizzy from the injection, but it was painful and itchy, and he didn't want to try it again.
Cheng Xue went to the ground to prepare things, while Li Hui took off his shirt and lay on the kang to wait obediently.
According to the acupuncture points, five pavilions were extracted in succession. Cheng Xue blew out the fire extinguishers and lowered her voice and said:
"I plan to go to the county and eat fine grains. Your health is important."
They had to leave after the tenth day of the lunar month. Xiao Qinglin helped find a teacher, and classes would start on the seventeenth day. The college examination was in mid-February, so time was tight.
Li Hui nodded and also whispered:
"Qinglin will come over in the third grade of junior high school, and I will ask Bai Rui to help with two trips. In the second grade of junior high school, we have to come back after dinner at my uncle's house. We can't stay here."
"Okay, I've written it down." Cheng Xue said while shaking the jar.
This is to add strength to the can, and it will be very comfortable when you lift it up...
