No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!
Chapter 24: Argument! Disappointment is never sudden
It was daylight, and Li Aniang got up to finish a round of work and make breakfast. Usually Li Erlang was already up at this time, but today, after waiting and waiting, he still didn't see anyone.
Aunt Li was surprised: "The rooster has been crowing for several rounds, why hasn't Erlang woke up yet? It's almost time for breakfast, but there's still no movement?"
Grandma Li was sitting at the dinner table, worried: "Could she be sick?"
Li Aniang waved her hands with a look of disbelief: "Erlang's body is the strongest among the brothers. How can he get sick if he doesn't play in the snow or soak in cold water!" Then she was not confident and hesitated: "How about I go and take a look? ?Is it possible that you are really sick?"
So Grandma Li followed Grandma Li to see Li Erlang and knocked on the door: "Erlang, it's time for breakfast!"
Li Erlang turned over inside and fell asleep again with a groan.
Grandma Li: "It doesn't sound like he's sick... maybe he went to bed late last night? It's rare to get some rest, so let him get enough sleep!"
Aunt Li thought so, so they went back to the main room to have breakfast with everyone else.
It was almost noon, and they had already started preparing lunch materials. When they saw that Li Erlang still hadn't gotten up, Li Aniang became anxious: "Are you really sick?" So she barged in without even knocking on the door.
Li Erlang felt a hand on his forehead: "Round...immortal...round..." and then he was woken up by a brain collapse.
Li Erlang covered his forehead and opened his eyes, only to see his mother-in-law sitting by the kang, groaning angrily: "I think you went to look for immortals at night!!"
Li Erlang was not fully awake yet, so he was shocked when he heard his mother-in-law say this, thinking how could his mother-in-law know? Then I heard Aunt Li continue to mutter: "What did you do last night? Why don't you sleep at night? The kang is cold and you still sleep. I'm wasting firewood in the winter. Get up quickly! It's time to have lunch! No pig can sleep like you!"
"Oh... I read a strange story last night. The story in it is so magical. The book says that we live on a ball. Mom, do you think God is magical? Is it possible that the world we live in is really round?! "
Li Aniang rolled her eyes and scolded directly: "Dream on you! Don't read weird stories. If you show it to Sanlang and Shilang and it affects your studies, I will give you a beating! Live on the ball? What about the people under the ball? Isn’t it going to fall? Stop talking nonsense and get up quickly!”
Li Erlang was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself: Auntie is right, why didn't I think of this truth? This is different from what the immortal said. Has the immortal thought about this problem? If I hadn't thought about it, would he be angry if I exposed him like this?
As a result, when she was in a daze, she was slapped hard on the forehead again, and Aniang Li laughed angrily: "I asked you to get up to have lunch, but why didn't you move for a long time! If you don't sleep tonight, let's see if I can deal with you tomorrow. !”
"It's coming, it's coming!" Li Erlang got dressed excitedly and got out of bed. When he walked out of the room, he saw that the snow had stopped and there were even signs of clearing up!
While eating lunch, Li Erlang mentioned that he was going to Wu Aweng's family to do wood work in the village, and there were some things to discuss.
Li Aweng was chewing the soup cake and asked: "What are you going to do? I'm going to go with you and go to him for a drink in the afternoon." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Awen glared at him.
Drinking plan, die.
"Aunt, Aniang, there is something I want to tell you." Li Erlang thought about the bellows and decided to tell his family.
Seeing that her second son was rarely so solemn, Aniang Li immediately became alert and asked, "What's going on?"
"I got a wooden drawing a few days ago. I will go to Wu Aweng later to discuss the drawing. I told Wu Aweng that the drawing was drawn by Sanlang and I. In fact, it was not the case. There was another person who drew the drawing. That person I was entrusted to sell the drawings in exchange for money, so I asked Uncle Quan to start this business. I sold the drawings to him, and I got 80% of each item he sold. I guess Uncle Quan has returned from the county and is waiting for me to go over and draw. Deed."
Li Erlang's words were like thunder, causing everyone at the dinner table to stop moving and several pairs of eyes staring at him at the same time.
Xu Qing looked at Li Erlang, guessing who drew the drawings, and soon thought of the mysterious benefactor.
Aunt Li had the biggest reaction: "Who is that person? What is the identity of that person?" Aunt Li was careful about what she said next, as if she was afraid of being heard by outsiders.
The rest of the people had the same idea as Li Aniang. Compared with the horrific natural disasters, they were more afraid of sudden man-made disasters.
Li Erlang repeatedly promised: "I assure you, he is not a deserter, not a fugitive, and he is definitely not someone who will harm us!"
"How do you know?! What if he..." Before Li Aniang could finish speaking, Li Erlang raised his hand to stop the conversation.
He glanced at Xu Qing and saw that she lowered her eyes nervously, so he skipped what happened last time: "He was the one who saved Tuan Lang's last accident. If he hadn't told me how to do it..."
Li Aniang keenly connected with the initial abnormality: "So, what happened to Shiro was also because of him...?"
Tuan Lang didn't know what was going on, so he said to himself, "Immortal...save...teach...my lord!"
Li Aniang ignored Tuan Lang's childish words and stared at Li Erlang. Li Erlang became weaker: "Yes, but...!"
"Shut up!" Li Aniang was very angry: "Have you forgotten what your father taught you? Do good and be filial, don't be greedy for evil, don't be deceitful, be honest, don't deceive. Why did he want Shiro to be a man? If a child steals food, he is not a deserter. He can go out and find Wu Aweng himself. If that doesn't work, you can be a Yaren and lead him to see Wu Aweng. Why should you go alone?!"
Li Aniang directly and clearly refused: "His behavior is so secretive. If he deliberately hides and deceives you, what will you do then? Are you going to drag Saburo with you?! This is the only thing I can't tolerate!! I can't trust him, please give up quickly. This idea!”
The reason why Li Erlang wanted to explain these things to his family was that he didn't want to hide such a big thing from them anymore. Bringing food to Ji Qingyue on his back was already the most extreme 'bad thing' he could do; secondly, if he To hand over the bellows to Ji Qingyue, he had to let his family know the whereabouts of the bellows. When they suddenly discovered that the bellows had disappeared inexplicably, he had no reason to explain. If it made a big fuss, more people would know about it.
He guessed that Li Aniang would refuse, but he didn't expect that what she couldn't tolerate the most was that Li Sanlang would be implicated. These words suddenly penetrated his heart, and his eyes immediately turned red, and his lips trembled: "Only one can't pull it up Sanlang? Aniang, do you mean that I will harm Sanlang? "
Aniang Li knew she had said the wrong thing, but she was too anxious to take it back, so the two of them had a stalemate at the dinner table.
Xu Qing was helpless, and finally wanted to speak for Li Erlang: "Auntie, Erlang did this, and there is another..."
"Sister-in-law, don't say anything anymore." Li Erlang stopped what Xu Qing was about to say. He didn't want to make things worse: "Okay, I'll explain later. The drawings were not drawn by Sanlang and have nothing to do with him. But this deal The business is done, and I won’t take a penny of the 80% I will get when the time comes, so I can repay his kindness for saving the group."
Li Aniang immediately threw the bowl, and the bottom of the bowl hit the table with a loud noise, which made Tuan Lang and Li Jinniang tremble greatly.
"Where did he get the blueprint? Is it legitimate? Have you ever thought about this? If he is a thief and tricks you into working for him, what should you do?!"
Li Erlang said with a cold face: "I said, he is not a deserter or a bad person, he is just inconvenient to come out!"
"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and if you don't come out, you are a bad person! If you are really desperate, you can come out to beg for food from us, but he let Shiro steal something, this is wrong!" Li Silang also received a beating, This made Li Aniang very upset.
Li Erlang was silent for a while and said: "I have promised Wu Aweng to sell him the drawings, and Muramasa will also come to witness when the contract is drawn."
Li Aniang: "Okay, I'll tell Cun Zheng that there is an outsider hiding in the village!!"
"Auntie, you can say whatever you want. I've finished eating." After finishing his meal, Li Erlang took away his bowl without saying a word, went back to his room, put on his cloak, and went out.
The main room was so quiet that no one dared to move. Li Aniang was breathing heavily. Although she said she was going to file a complaint, everyone knew that this was impossible.
After Li Erlang went out, Li Aniang gave up her strength, stopped eating, and got up with red eyes.
Li Erlang and Li Sanlang are only one year apart. Li Erlang escapes Li Sanlang's quietness, but when they were enlightened, their performance was about the same. Both of them were better than Li Dalang. In some aspects, Li Erlang was even better. Proficient in Li Sanlang.
After attending elementary school, the master of the village school suggested that the Li family send these two children to continue their studies. They might have a bright future in taking the imperial examinations in the future.
It’s still the tacky but realistic problem. The money in the family can only support one person’s education. After all, the better private schools require at least ten taels a year, and more for higher education. It is really impossible for two people to study at the same time. Besides, the family still has to farm.
So Li Aniang chose Li Sanlang to go to the county school, while Li Erlang stayed at home.
It was impossible for Li Erlang not to be disappointed at first, but his situation was so embarrassing. He was older and had to let the younger one go. Sanlang was not in good health and was more suitable to find a living in books. In the future, he would be the first to be naturalized and claim land.
If you farm, you farm.
This matter could have gone away like this, but every year after that, he could see Aniang Li's partiality in some small things.
He can understand, it's all understandable.
But when choosing cloth the day before yesterday, he listened to Li Aniang's words and chose a piece of cloth that pleased his eyes. But Li Aniang was hesitant later. In fact, his expression had solidified at that time, but Li Aniang didn't see it.
It's not that he is stingy, it just feels a little funny.
Time after time, disappointment is never sudden.
When Li Aniang said those words today, Li Erlang couldn't help it in an instant.
Every time he noticed that Li Aniang was partial, he was never jealous or complained or even took his anger out on Li Sanlang. He just wanted to get more attention elsewhere. He could no longer compare to Li Sanlang when it came to studying. When it came to farming and raising a family, he was no match for everyone else. Just as diligent. He also knew that it was not easy for his mother-in-law. She sewed and cooked for him and asked him for help. She never failed to do anything.
Well, to be honest, he was still a little jealous of his younger brother. Even Li Silang, who had just entered elementary school, was jealous because his mother-in-law had also planned to send him to the county school.
If these were not counted, then what chilled his heart the most... was what he heard his mother-in-law say outside the house that time.
Li Erlang stood outside the courtyard gate for a while, waiting for his heart to calm down before setting off to find Wu Aweng.
Wu Aweng had been waiting for him for a long time. As soon as he heard Li Erlang coming, he couldn't wait to pull him in: "Cunzheng has arrived, it's just you! Your uncle will have to rush back to the county later! "
Li Daquan, the son of Wu Aweng, opened the curtain to welcome them into the house. He seemed to be honest and honest. When he saw the drawings, he was very excited and wanted to go back to the county to start working.
Muramasa understood what was going on. He only knew that the two wanted to buy and sell blueprints, but he did not know what was on the blueprints. He was only acting as a notary to prove that there was a third party in the transaction. If someone wanted to break the contract in the future, he would need to come forward as a witness.
After several discussions, a contract was made. The contents of the contract were written by Muramasa himself. Listening to their discussion, he gradually became interested in this object called the "bellows".
Li Erlang took the brush and explained it again before signing: "Five Aweng, I said before that the drawings were discovered by Sanlang and I. I lied. I'm afraid that you are worried about the origin of the drawings and don't want to talk to them. I cooperated and used Saburo as an excuse to make you believe it."
Li Daquan asked: "Did you really discover this drawing?"
Li Erlang was not very interested, but his tone was affirmative: "I discovered the drawings. Uncle Quan, you have been in the county for a long time and have close news exchanges in the county. You must know that the things in the drawings have not yet been extant, so there is no need to worry about it. Some people say you are imitating.”
Li Daquan: "I can trust you! Since the source of the drawings is clear, let's sign the contract!" There is no way he would give up this business.
Li Erlang raised his hand and signed his name: Li Changxiang.
Under the witness of Muramasa, the two of them each took a copy of the deed, and the drawings belonged to Li Daquan.
After finishing the business, Li Erlang went to the county with Li Daquan because he wanted to buy something.
In the afternoon, Li Aweng came over for a drink and found out that Li Erlang had followed Li Daquan to the county.
Accompanied by his old friend, Li Aweng drank quietly all afternoon. Wu Aweng knew that his friend was in a bad mood, so he had to keep company silently. As a result, both of them were drunk.
One is happy, the other is sad.
