The couple tossed about like this until dawn, but there was still nothing they could do.
We can only take one step at a time. Ask for the dowry first. If you don’t give it, kick the person out first!
Yes, at this time, the Wen family and his wife really had the idea of breaking up with Li Yuancha.
The next morning, Father Wen went out to Li's house early in the morning, and Mr. Li was so angry with his daughter that he didn't sleep well all night.
Father Wen was very direct, "Why did Yuancha send back the dowry yesterday?"
"She paid me back the money." Mr. Li rubbed his eyebrows. He really wanted to persuade his daughter to restrain her kindness, not to ask her for the money. Li Yuancha brought the money last night, which made him very angry.
Father Wen couldn't accept this answer. Last year, Li Yuancha borrowed grain from everywhere. If the Li family hadn't given him the grain, he would have returned at that time. After working together for a long time, should the Wen family still be responsible for the grain?
Originally, Li Yuancha paid off her dowry, but rounding it off, she was giving away the Wen family's food.
According to Master Li, will the money come back?
Thinking like this, Father Wen couldn't bear it, "Mr. Li, your daughter is too prodigal. I can't afford to support her. Please take her away!"
Mr. Li was originally very angry with his daughter, but he was surprised when he heard this, "What do you say?" Before Father Wen could answer, he had already figured out the cause and effect, "No, she would lend food out because they are your Wen family members."
"No matter which family you belong to, you can borrow this food, but you didn't say it could be given as a gift, right?" Father Wen felt exhausted, "I don't want my wife here anymore, you can figure it out."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Mr. Li became anxious. He also felt that the Wen family was short-sighted and would not even want their daughter-in-law without a dowry. Thinking of something, he said angrily, "My daughter has kept a filial piety for your Wen family, you can't refuse it."
she!"
Hearing this, Father Wen almost wanted to faint.
It was only then that he remembered that Li Yuancha had indeed kept his filial piety, and that he could not break up according to the law. Thousands of words combined into one sentence, "Brother Li, how did you raise your daughter?"
Mr. Li: "..." Is it so difficult to explain in one sentence?
Seeing that Father Wen was so tired, Mr. Li began to reflect. His daughter seemed to be really careless.
"I will persuade her!" Mr. Li ordered the people next to him, "Go and get the box that the girl sent back yesterday..."
The servant left quickly, and Father Wen felt a little relieved. He had more than eighty taels of silver, so he just had to pay it back.
When the servant came out with the box, a servant hurried in at the door and said, "Master, something happened!"
This is the nephew who is in charge of the meat shop and is also a clerk in the shop. Seeing that his face turned pale with fright, Mr. Li stood up and asked, "What's the matter?"
The waiter was out of breath after running, and after entering the door, his legs went weak and he knelt down, "In the shop... the Zhao family who bought meat yesterday, Zhao Dafa is dead!"
Mr. Li held his head, "What's going on? Tell me carefully!"
Father Wen felt comforted when he saw the box, but when he heard about the sauced pork shop, his heart skipped a beat and he suddenly became uneasy, "Are you sure it was caused by eating the sauced pork?"
The clerk shook his head, "I don't know! Zhao Dayou and his wife have already gone to the mayor's house, threatening that if the store doesn't give an explanation, they will force the mayor to report to the county today."
The Hu family did exactly the same thing as last time.
Mr. Li rolled his sleeves and said, "I'll go and ask." Before going out, he stretched out his hand to grab Father Wen's hand, "My in-laws, the shop is now in the name of the Wen family, let's go together."
Father Wen just felt that he had been unlucky for eight lifetimes.
If this is not explained clearly, it is likely to drag down the Wen family. You know, the Wen family's tofu shop and restaurant are all about eating. If it has a reputation of poisoning people, can this business still be done?
When the Li family's sauce butcher shop was newly opened, it was going to be in the name of the Wen family. He thought about it if he got the Li family's recipe... Thinking about it now, he was so regretful that his intestines turned green. The two of them were anxious, so they took a carriage and went to Wen's house.
My father couldn’t help but ask, “Has your family offended anyone?”
Mr. Li looked cautious, thought about it carefully, and wondered, "I didn't offend anyone!"
Zhao Dafa died. He went to see a doctor and found out that he had indeed died from too much alcohol. Zhao Dafa's mother cried and said that her son's snacks with wine were soy sauce meat and peanuts, all of which were bought from a sauce meat shop. There were also some food on the side.
Zhao Dafa's wife and children knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
They didn't say they wanted money, they just said they wanted the Wen family to return the favor!
This was their brilliance. Originally, they could not pay much money for compensation when a person died. Now they only wanted people, and if the Wen and Li families did not want them to go to the county town to file a lawsuit, they could only raise the amount of compensation.
Father Wen felt that he had died unjustly. He did not get any benefits and suffered a lot of misfortunes.
The two parents looked at each other.
Zhao Dafa's mother on the ground wailed, "Please let the mayor make the decision. The old woman just wants the murderer to be punished. Please take the women to the county town today. I want to seek justice for my son, and I can't let him go in vain."
He died unjustly."
In fact, Zhao Dafa usually drank too much, and he probably died of drunkenness. But no matter how he died, he died after eating something from the butcher shop. Mrs. Zhao found many people to testify.
The biggest fear of food shops is that there is a problem with the food. Hu San in front basically ruined the business of Lijia Sauce Butcher Shop. If Zhao Dafa is added to the list, no one in this town will really eat the sauce pork.
Mr. Li pulled the mayor and said a few words in private. After the mayor came back, he began to persuade, "I would say, you'd better not go to the county seat. Your son usually drinks, and he probably died of drunkenness. The Li family also
Willing to compensate, you see..."
Mrs. Zhao didn't answer, she just covered her face and cried.
Mr. Li calculated it and said, "Thirty taels."
Mrs. Zhao wailed even louder, "Hu San, you both lost eighty taels. This is not how you bully others. Dafa has one more child and mom than Hu San, do you think we are dead? I want to fight for my son
Ask for justice! If you don’t send your Li family to jail, I will kill you in front of the county government office!”
She looked determined.
Mr. Li was really a little scared. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you eighty taels too, but when you look back you can't say he died of eating meat. You can say he died of drunkenness."
"I have never told a lie in my life, you are embarrassing me!" Mrs. Zhao cried, "Why doesn't the Hu family have to lie? For the sake of my Zhao family's children, you can ask me to lie, two hundred taels! It's just one less copper.
no!"
Earlier, the Hu family asked for eighty taels. Mr. Li thought it was a lion's mouth. Today when he heard two hundred taels, there was a thud in his head and he almost fainted. He said hoarsely, "How can I have two hundred taels? You know two hundred taels?"
How much can a hundred taels buy? Just open your mouth and tell me if you like!"
Mrs. Zhao cried, "Mayor, I must go to the county town to find the adults to make the decision. There is something wrong with the Li family's sauce meat. I heard that his son even went to the county town to sell it. How many people are going to be poisoned to death?"
Hearing this, Mr. Li's eyelids twitched. His son had just settled down. One hundred taels of silver was only enough to buy a small store, and his business was average. If she was allowed to continue making trouble, the Li family would really be doomed.
After hesitating for a while, he sighed, "One hundred taels, that's too much."
"It's a deal!" Mrs. Zhao quickly got up, "Bring me the banknotes and we'll bury them immediately!"
Where does Mr. Li have one hundred taels?
Even the more than eighty taels that my daughter sent back, the other ten taels can only be obtained from the Li family's recent expenses and the capital of the shop. For a while, this can only be done.
Father Wen watched helplessly as Mr. Li gave Mrs. Zhao the box that was originally intended for him. But he couldn't stop him!
The Li family has really plundered everything now. The meat from the sauce shop has to be bought on credit. However, after two murders, the Li family can barely get the meat from a familiar butcher on credit, but who can it be sold to on credit?
Moreover, what worried Father Wen the most happened. No one ate at the Wen family's tofu shop and restaurant. There was almost no food available. Not to mention the spoiled meat and vegetables, even the wages of the clerks and stewards were lost.
In this case, the only option is to close the door and give the clerks and supervisors a holiday.
The clerks and stewards rely on this job to support their families. There is no word on when the holiday will be held here. In addition, the past two years have been bad, not many people are willing to eat out, and seeing the Wenjiajiang Butcher Shop,
In such a situation, I would simply quit my job and find another way out.
After Chu Yunli saw off Yuan's mother, she looked back and saw that both Wen and Li's shops were closed.
Wen Ruxi also came back. Wen's father was making noises about divorcing his daughter-in-law. It wasn't that he had to add insult to injury at this time, but it was a heavy rain a few days ago, and the mud-walled houses of family members in the village were washed away by the water.
He borrowed money from the local government and heard about Li Yuancha's reputation for kindness, so he came to beg for help.
Naturally, Li Yuancha couldn't bear to see anyone in such a miserable condition, so he immediately asked the Zhang family's daughter-in-law to lend him ten taels of silver.
The Wen family and his wife didn't know about it until the Zhang family came to ask for debts.
They originally thought that Li Yuancha would be honest when she ran out of money, but she was still able to borrow it!
However, the Li family has been in the town for many years and knows a lot of people. They know almost everyone, so they can really borrow money if they want.
When Wen's father learned about this, he immediately waved his hand and told Li Yuan to leave the tea like a bolt from the blue.
Forget about helping others and paying for the dowry, but she could still go out and borrow it. Father Wen was really afraid that one day she would owe a lot of debt outside and wait for Wen Ruxi to pay it back.
This time the Wen couple were determined, no matter what Wen Ruxi tried to persuade them, it was of no use. Li Yuancha was so angry that she returned to the Li family with her maid.
On the night she returned to the Li family, the Li family's soy sauce shop caught fire. Not only did her own shop burn down, but the grain shop and cloth shop next to it also burned clean the shops and their goods!
Too many things happened recently. Mr. Li was busy and worried about his daughter's future. He didn't sleep well for many days. After hearing the news, he fainted immediately.
Even if he fainted, he would not stop the nearby grain store and cloth shop from asking the Li family for compensation.
Not only do we have to restore the shop, but we also need to fill it with other people's goods. Especially since the autumn harvest has just begun, when the grain shop has the most food, the owner of the cloth shop has also kept saying that he has just received a batch of goods recently. After a rough calculation, he wants to compensate
Three hundred taels of silver can't even buy someone from their two families!
But the Li family really has no money.
At this time, the people who could have helped were afraid that the Li family would not be able to help. The only people who could ask for help were the in-laws, the Wen family and the Fang family.
The Fang family was already upset when Mr. Li changed the name of the sauce butcher shop to the Wen family. The Fang family itself was not very wealthy. Seeing that the Li family could not afford it, they just argued that they didn't have it. So, the only thing left was
Wen family.
Li Yuancha didn't show any pretense at this time, and went back to Wen's house, crying all over Wen Ruxi.
