Seeing this formation, Li Mu frowned and said, "Uncle Bai, why are you leading people to block the door of my house?"
"What's the point?!" It was okay that Li Mu didn't speak, but his opening angered Bai Nao'er even more. He took a mouthful of thick phlegm, pointed at the tip of Li Mu's nose and cursed: "Thank you for calling me Uncle Bai, then I will
I won’t hit you for now, but I’d like to ask you kind neighbors to give you some perspective.” Bai Nao’er made a bow and said, “Listen up, everyone! Sixteen years ago, the little old man came here to visit his relatives, and he met a horse thief on the way.
I met Li Mu's father Li Gan returning to the camp with wounded soldiers and rescued my family. The young man was not the kind of person who was ungrateful. He first took out money to thank him for saving his life, and then invited him to drink.
Thank you very much, but I didn't treat you lightly. I thought that this kind of kindness was repaid, but I didn't expect that Li Gan actually took a fancy to my then four-year-old daughter and said that he had a newborn son. The third-year-old girl held a gold brick.
My daughter must be his son’s wife. The young man is unwilling in every possible way, but how can he say no if he is given the gift of saving his life? He has no choice but to agree."
Bai Naoer covered his face and pretended to cry, sobbing and said: "Later, Li Gan died in the hands of the Turks, so the little old man took the money and came over to discuss with the Sun family. The Sun family asked me for two ounces of money and canceled the engagement. I
I thought that the matter was settled at this point, but I didn't expect that this Mrs. Sun was so evil-hearted. She had already taken my money, and over the years, she had been bewitching my daughter in every possible way, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup she had poured into her to make me like that.
The poor daughter ran to their house day and night, and even stole the family's money to provide relief to them. It couldn't go on like this, so the little old man thought about finding a good husband for his daughter to marry quickly, so as to get rid of this family. Who?
Thinking of this silly girl resisting in every possible way and even threatening her with death, I cried so many times because of this. Li Mu followed the army to transport food, so my silly daughter came to deliver food to this sick woman every day. She had already
A marriage was arranged, but when people heard that this silly girl always ran to the Li family, they felt resentful and regretted the marriage. The old man was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger! Today, the boy in my shop saw someone raiding the shop.
When he passed by the door, he thought he looked like Li Mu, so he told me. Just in time, I saw my silly girl secretly cut the bacon and slipped out of the back door with vegetable porridge. I was so angry that I asked someone to follow me! "
"Did you do something wrong, little old man? Even if Li Gan saved my life, I have already paid back what I deserve. Why do you have to hold on to my poor daughter? Your old Li family is poor and cannot afford a wife, then
It's your own business. It doesn't matter if you dominate my daughter! Please give me your opinion!"
After what he said, Bai Naoer was already in tears. Many people didn't know the details, so they really believed his words and stood at the door pointing at Li Mu.
Li Mu remained silent and watched Bai Naoer's performance. Li Mu felt nothing about what he said. On the Internet in later generations, people who made up lies and cursed people were much better than him. If he took all this seriously,
His time travel was in vain. Of course, he still had to fight back. After all, it was related to the reputation of Li Mu's parents. Since he agreed to take responsibility for Li Mu, his parents' reputation was naturally included.
Just as Li Mu was about to speak, Bai Qiaoqiao came out of the room. With an angry look on her face, she stood in front of Li Mu and faced everyone and said, "Dad, although I am your daughter, I can't let you arrange benefactors at will. Back then,
I am four years old, and I remember some things. You proposed the engagement, and Uncle Li Gan didn't agree at first. Later, you invited him to a drink, and after he got drunk, he reluctantly agreed. I heard you and
Mom said that our family is from outside and we will be bullied when we come here. Uncle Li Gan is the halberd commander in the army. With his protection, no one will dare to bully us."
Hearing Bai Qiaoqiao say these words, Bai Naoer's expression suddenly changed, he picked up the wooden stick in his hand and started beating him, scolding: "You loser, you turned your elbows outward, why don't you shut up?
!”
Seeing that Bai Qiaoqiao was not hiding, Li Mu pulled her behind him, raised his hand to grab the wooden stick in Bai Nao'er's hand, and said: "If you want to beat or scold her, let her finish her words first. Today you come to block my door.
I can’t just let it go, so I’ll just make it clear and let’s end it!”
Bai Nao'er was intimidated by Li Mu's momentum. She glanced at him twice, let go of the stick bitterly, took a step back and hid behind the gangster he had brought.
Bai Qiaoqiao continued behind Li Mu: "I became good friends with Aunt Sun because my mother told me that people cannot stand without trust. She couldn't control you, so she had to teach me. No matter what the reason for the marriage was, since
If you make an agreement, you must abide by it, so that you can be called a human being. Seeing that Uncle Li Gan died in the battle and the Li family fell, you don’t want to recognize this marriage, but I want to recognize it, because I think mother is right! You say
There is absolutely no such thing as giving money to Aunt Sun to break off the engagement. With your temper, how can you be willing to pay two thousand dollars for my matter?"
"Also, you said that I would give my family's money to Aunt Sun, which is not true. I help my family's shop sell wine, and you promised to give me twenty cents every month to buy rouge. I have no use, so I save it and give it to Sun.
Auntie, I can’t be considered the one who stole from the house. But you, in order to sell me at a high price so that you can get a wife for your brother, you used money to beg the matchmaker to let me go to a rich family to arrange a marriage. The marriage you arranged for me was for a lame man.
The second wife regretted the marriage because her first wife did not agree with it. What does it have to do with the Li family?"
Bai Qiaoqiao stood up to refute her own father, and immediately changed the opinions of the crowd. The important thing is what Bai Qiaoqiao said. The neighbors have heard a little bit of gossip, and by confirming each other, they can judge who is lying and who is telling the truth.
The truth.
Bai Naoer's face turned green and white, but he could not argue. He pointed at Bai Qiaoqiao and cursed: "I think you are crazy. I am your biological father, but you only speak for others. Okay.
, just pretend that I don’t have you as a daughter, and I will kill you today!”
As he spoke, Bai Nao'er winked at the gangsters he had brought, and several people with sticks came out to beat Li Mu and Bai Qiaoqiao behind him.
"Slow down!" Li Mu raised his hand and shouted. Bai Nao'er looked over and saw that he had a bunch of copper coins in his hand. It looked like he was consistent. When the gangsters saw this, they stopped one after another. They knew
Bai Naoer's character regards money as his life, and things will change for the better when he sees money.
Li Mu left the bunch of coins on the ground, then reached into his sleeves and exchanged them from the system. One string after another, a total of five strings of copper coins were thrown on the ground. Bai Naoer was dumbfounded. This was five strings of coins.
Ah, his family doesn't even have that much money. Is Li Mu going to deliver food this time or is he robbing people? Where did he get so much money?
Li Mu said: "Here are a total of five guan of money. Didn't you tell me that I would need five guan of money to propose marriage to your house? Anyway, you don't plan to have a daughter. Take these five guan of money and Qiaoqiao will have nothing to do with you anymore."
, all of you here are witnesses!”
Bai Nao'er suddenly regretted it. If he had known that Li Mu could give Wu Guan money, he would never have made it this far. But the matter had come to this point and was irreversible. Bai Nao'er gritted his teeth and walked over to give Wu Guan money.
Bai Qiaoqiao picked up the money and saw a trace of sadness flashing through his black and white eyes. It seemed that in his father's heart, he was only worth five qian.
Bai Naoer felt a little unwilling again, looked at Li Mu, and said: "I married my daughter, and my son-in-law pays filial piety during the holidays. I sold her to you today. Judging from your attitude, you won't show filial piety to me.
I don’t have any hope anymore, just give it to me as money!”
Li Mu took out another bunch of copper coins and threw them on the ground, saying: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. I'll give you one more. Take it if you want it. If you get greedy again, be careful of me falling out. I might as well tell you that I killed several Turkic cavalry this time."
, you have made great achievements, and you will receive a reward soon. I advise you to accept it when you are good, otherwise you will make me anxious, and your wine shop will not be able to open!"
When Bai Nao'er heard this, he had no doubt in his heart. If not, how could Li Mu get so much money? He had long heard that rewards and punishments were clearly defined in the army, and there were rewards for beheading enemies. It seemed like this guy had killed a lot of people.
, I didn’t expect him to be so cruel! Bai Naoer picked up the money, not daring to linger any longer. He glanced at Bai Qiaoqiao, who was silent, and walked away in disgrace with the gangster he had brought.
Li Mu cupped his hands to the onlookers and said, "I've told you all to watch the joke. Let's disperse. Let's disperse!" After saying that, he took Bai Qiaoqiao's hand and returned to the house, closing the door. The people outside the door saw that there was no excitement anymore.
, they turned into birds and beasts and dispersed, each returning to his own home.
Back in the house, Bai Qiaoqiao's tears could no longer be stopped and flowed down silently. Sun held her hand and comforted her: "The fact that he sold you for money means that he has no affection for you.
It’s not worth crying. Your mother has passed away, and your stepmother has been mean to you. There is nothing to miss in that family. He doesn’t treat you as his daughter, but I treat you as my daughter. From now on, you will be in our house, and we will spend our days together.
Just live well." After saying that, he looked at Li Mu and said, "My son, you must treat Qiaoqiao well, her life is too hard!"
Li Mu didn't say anything, he was thinking about money.
The currency of the Tang Dynasty was like this. The legal tender was the copper Kaiyuan Tongbao. One copper coin was one penny, one hundred cents was one tael of silver, ten taels of silver was one tael of silver, and ten taels of silver was one tael of gold. Gold and silver were not in circulation.
Currency is mostly used in large transactions and among nobles. Ordinary people use copper coins. They are threaded with threads and are measured in units. One coin corresponds to one tael of silver, which is one thousand coins. That day, Tang Jian gave a total of
After giving him fifteen taels of silver, he gave the Turk guard five taels and recharged the money into the system. Among them, learning medicine and inferior incense cost one tael and five taels, rubbing incense cost two taels, and learning elementary riding skills
After using one tael, the total cost was 2 taels and 2 cents, leaving 7 taels and 98 cents. Just now Li Mu threw six taels of money to Bai Naoer, which meant that the six taels of silver were gone. Now he only has
That’s one thousand four hundred and ninety-eight cents! Except for the one on the bed, there are only four hundred and ninety-eight cents left in the system!
Although the money can last for a while, if there is no income, it will be in vain sooner or later. So the most important thing right now is to make money!
