When she got home, Li Xiangxiang was drying her clothes in the yard. When she saw her coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward to take the vegetable basket and pulled her in. "Mom, I bought you a hairpin. It is said to be the latest style in the county. Just now
Just arrived, it’s very beautiful.”
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows, "Why are you thinking of buying a hairpin for me?"
Under her eyes, Li Xiangxiang's face became redder and redder. He took the hairpin and sat her down in front of the dressing table. He helped her put the hairpin on and whispered, "I can't hide it from you. Du You bought this as a tribute to you."
."
Chu Yunli had a straight face and reached out to pull it out, "No, you want to deceive my daughter with just one hairpin!"
"No, no." Seeing her resistance like this, Li Xiangxiang was a little flustered, "Mom, I tricked him into coming back, and we made the money. They said we were going to marry him!"
Huh?
As far as Chu Yunli knew, Du You's parents were gone, and he was the only one left in the Du family. How could he still marry into the family?
Li Xiangxiang was still convincing her, "Just think, he will make money. With him here, we will definitely be popular and drink hot food!"
Seeing that Chu Yunli didn't speak, she was very nervous, "Mom, is there something wrong with Du You?"
The girl's eyebrows were full of shyness, her fingers were holding her sleeves, and her eyes were full of nervousness. Compared to Su Man last time, she was much more considerate this time, and she seemed to be in love.
Li Xiangxiang was so nervous that her breathing became shallow. Chu Yunli said, "I haven't noticed it yet."
"Then take your time and watch." Li Xiangxiang helped her squeeze her shoulders and pat her back, "I'm not in a hurry just yet. If there's anything wrong, you must tell me."
In fact, the relationship between the two has just begun. With Su Man in front, Li Xiangxiang is very cautious. Rather than being nervous about Du You's character, she is more nervous about her own vision.
If one thing doesn't work, and another one doesn't work, she will doubt herself.
The mother and daughter lived a peaceful life here, but those who came to escape the famine did get food at Li's house that day.
There are many people in this town who are willing to help people, but if one or two is okay, who can bear ten or eight?
If there are more than a dozen people together, who would dare to entertain them?
Furthermore, it is said that people become greedy when they are poor. These people don’t know how long they have been hungry. You can give them a meal through gritted teeth, but it will be troublesome if you let them target you. So later on, those who are really willing to treat them to a meal
, it’s just Li Dahu.
He has been quite angry recently, and he has been quarreling with Mr. Tian. This anger is not directed at the children, but at Mr. Tian. He refuses anything that Mr. Tian wants to do, and insists on doing anything that Mr. Tian does not agree to do.
Dry.
For example, when the group of people arrived at the door that day, Mrs. Tian directly asked them to leave. Those people might have inquired before going to Li's house, but ignored her words and kept squatting at the door waiting for Li Dahu to come back.
When Li Dahu came back from selling the meat, he saw a group of ragged people at the door. After asking about it, he welcomed them in. Then he asked Tian to cook for them.
Mrs. Tian was so angry that her face was livid. You said that it would be okay if you gave them some food, so you sent them away directly. You have to cook them for them to eat, and after eating, you have to wash the dishes and wash the pots. It really hurts your back to stand and talk.
Seeing that Tian didn't move, Li Dahu scolded, "Hurry up, get out if you don't want to do it!"
With Liu Yuniang in front of him, Tian didn't dare to make a fuss, and went to cook with Ping Ping Pong Pong. More than a dozen people ate, plus she was reluctant, and it was still not cooked after a long time. In the end, there was
Two women even went in to help.
These people emptied out a large pot of steamed buns, eating and taking them, leaving a mess. Tian gritted his teeth and cleaned up.
Unexpectedly, they went there again the next day.
Of course Tian was unwilling. She knew that it was useless to go to Li Dahu, so she went directly to the mayor and said directly: if the town takes in these people, it will be easy to cause trouble.
The mayor was convinced, so he called everyone together and expressed his willingness to donate food and materials to them, all on a voluntary basis.
In just half a day, a lot of things were collected. Regardless of whether it was good or not, those people took their things and finally left the town.
It's summer, the weather is hot, and normal people don't go out.
At this time, the group of people came back again.
They did not come in large numbers like last time, but two women came in at night, and while Li Dahu went to the market in the morning and Tian was cooking, they quietly went in and took the child away.
In the morning, the child slept in. Mrs. Tian was busy cooking and cleaning up the house before she remembered that the child had not woken up yet. When she went to bed, she saw that there was no one there?
At that time, Mrs. Tian went crazy. After searching around, he went directly to the market and asked everyone to help him find it along the way. Li Dahu knew that his son was lost and didn't care about the meat, so he went home to look around.
Asked, and immediately a sharp-eyed woman said that she saw two women in the group coming back.
It is quite bad to lose a child, and it is still a boy. Therefore, everyone has children, and many people are very concerned about it. There are many people standing in the Li family yard.
Mrs. Tian burst into tears. When she heard someone say that some of the people who had helped him last time had come back, she collapsed and rushed towards Li Dahu like crazy, scratching and scratching.
It is said that rabbits bite when they are anxious. In normal times, Tian would never have the courage to scratch Li Dahu. Not only that, she also yelled, "Bastard! Aren't you kind? Give my son back..."
Give me back my son..."
Li Dahu threw her away with great force. Tian took a few steps back and sat down on the ground. She did not get up and sat on the ground crying.
Just at this time, a four or five-year-old child squeezed into the crowd with a piece of paper and a piece of candy in his mouth. "Uncle asked me to give this to you."
Li Dahu was suspicious, and suddenly thought of something, he took it and opened it, and saw words written inside. He didn't recognize it, so he hurriedly handed it to the doctor next to him.
The doctor squinted his eyes and said, "I want ten taels of silver to be delivered behind the big stone at the foot of the Western Mountain today..."
Li Dahu leaned against the wall slumped, pulling his hair, "Where can I get money?"
The money he earned these days, except for food and drink, was all used to pay off debts.
Tian also knew that he couldn't get it out, so he stood up and rushed over, "It's all your fault."
Li Dahu stretched out his hand and pushed her gently to the ground. He didn't look at her, but only glanced at everyone in the yard.
When they caught his gaze, everyone stepped back. Their eyes evaded, saying that it would be okay to help find someone, but to borrow money... let's forget it.
Li Dahu was a little disappointed and looked at one of the women who walked straight into the crowd and said, "You have lent me five copper coins, ten coins each time..."
The woman felt guilty, but no matter how guilty she was, she couldn't return it to him. She plausibly said, "You bought medicine for my son. You said you don't have to pay it back."
This was the most outrageous thing, and there were some who returned it, and some who were willing to lend it to him. People all over the yard worked together for half an hour, but it was less than 300 cents.
This little copper plate is far from enough for ten taels of silver. Looking at the copper plate in front of him, Li Dahu seemed to realize that among the people he had tried his best to help in the past, except for a few, most of them were unwilling to take money. But usually,
Many people who were not familiar with him brought it up.
Li Dahu thanked everyone, got up and went to the mayor, wrote a deed and borrowed five taels. Then, he went straight to East Street and knocked on Chu Yunli's door.
Seeing Chu Yunli behind the door, he knelt on the ground with a bang, "Yu Niang, I know you are good at embroidery, so you must have five taels of silver, can you lend it to me?"
There were many people following him from a distance, and now they all arrived at the door of Chu Yunli's house.
"Why?" Chu Yunli asked calmly, "This child caused me to be kicked out, why should I save him?"
Li Dahu lowered his head, "It's my fault. It has nothing to do with the child. As long as you are willing to borrow it, I can do whatever you want. Even divorce Mr. Tian..."
Mr. Tian, who followed, turned pale and his lips trembled.
Doesn't this man want to get rid of Tian?
Chu Yunli sneered, looked at the people over there, swallowed the sarcasm on his lips, thought about it and said, "I can lend it to you."
Li Dahu's eyes lit up, and he heard her continue, "But... you have to pay me back ten taels of silver. It's not because I'm a big talker, but because you spent so much on Mrs. Tian, even though she gave birth to a son for you,
I also gave you a daughter, and this is not interest, but money you willingly gave to your wife and daughter."
As long as he could borrow it, Li Dahu didn't care how much he had to pay back in the future, whether it was interest or for his wife and daughter, so he immediately went to the mayor to write a deed.
The interest rate is a bit too much, but it’s hard for outsiders to persuade people to agree with each other. Besides, if you think about it carefully, what Chu Yunli said makes sense.
I spent ten taels for my son and another five taels for my daughter. There is nothing wrong with that!
Calculating it this way, the original mother and daughter still suffered the loss. After the Tian family raised three bastards for so long, it was not Li Dahu who helped clean up the mess in the end?
After everyone figured this out, they praised Chu Yunli for her magnanimity. You must know that he was the enemy's son, and she was willing to use money to rescue her. Not to mention making money, she wanted to pay back the debt Li Dahu owed now.
, if you have to wait, it will be good for ten or eight years.
Finally collecting enough money, Li Dahu took it and ran down the west mountain. Chu Yunli didn't go. After closing the door, he saw Li Xiangxiang with a complex expression.
"Mom, you are actually the kindest."
Chu Yunli laughed, "Why do you say that? I don't do good deeds like your father."
She doesn't have a medical center, and she doesn't plan to leave Ku Lai Town. She probably won't be able to do much good in this life. But it's okay. It's not hard to raise Li Xiangxiang, so it's just a vacation.
Speaking of which, she hasn't taken a serious vacation yet.
Li Xiangxiang couldn't explain the reason, and said after a while, "It's just a feeling!"
The child is innocent. Even if Li Dahu and Tian were wrong, the child should not have to pay for their actions.
However, her help only goes so far!
Li Dahu collected enough money and put it under the stone. He waited until night, but no one came to pick it up. Moreover, the people in the town searched the surrounding barren mountains and found no trace of them.
It was then that everyone suddenly realized that those people had already left Ku Lai Town when they had picked up the child.
They searched until midnight, but found nothing. After confirming that they were no longer there, they hurried to the county seat overnight.
The group of people went to the county town overnight, but after walking ten miles away, they were surrounded by the group of people, who beat them up, took off their clothes and threw them into the river, and then fled quickly.
The worst thing was Li Dahu. Even if his money was gone, he couldn't even get his son back.
The group of people who came back the next day were all bruised and swollen. It is worth mentioning that as the group of people left, the two gangsters in the town also disappeared.
