Culinary Specialization through Farming

The main room of the Li family was a bit empty, and as soon as Chen Yan said these words, the sound echoed in the room and reached everyone's ears.

Li Fu looked at Chen Yan with some horror, and wanted to go forward to stop him but was stopped by Li Maoshan who was standing in the middle.Zhu Wu shrank his head and hid in the corner of the wall to watch.

Mrs. Li looked at Chen Yan with a look of disdain from the beginning to the end, but when old Li heard Chen Yan's words, his gaze was fixed on Chen Yan who looked comfortable.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Chen Yan cast a disgusted look at the nervous Li Fu, and then took out from his bosom the IOU stamped with Li Fu's signature and handprint.

"This is the debt of the Four Seas Gambling House in the county town. Your precious son is promising. If you don't learn other things well, you have learned good gambling skills."

"What do you mean by that?"

Hearing the word gambling house, Li's expression immediately changed.

"Brother Fulang, you better stop talking about it." Li Fu tried to save him, "You don't know the ins and outs of this matter, is it really okay to smear me like this?"

"Written in black and white, why should I discredit you!" Chen Yan said coldly, and raised the paper in front of Li Shi, "You can see clearly, what is written on it is your son's name, and the handprint .”

Li Shi stared straight at the debt, the pity and distress for Li Fu on his face had been suppressed by him, replaced by indifference.He looked at the bill, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Is this true?"

He asked this question to Li Fu, but Li Fu was not in a hurry because his mother could not read.

He pursed his mouth in aggrieved manner, and he did not forget to flirt with Li Shi, "Mum, don't listen to his nonsense, how could I go to a gambling house. No matter how courageous you are, you won’t go to that kind of place.”

Li Fu's sophistry made Chen Yan feel that this person was really shameless.

"It says on the receipt that he gambled at the Four Seas Casino yesterday and lost a total of 20 taels of silver."

Seeing that Mrs. Li was still suspicious, Chen Yan was afraid that he could not read, so he directly read the content of the owed bill.As he spoke, Li Shi's wrinkles that had been stained by the years became deeper.

"20 taels!"

After listening to Chen Yan finish reading the bill, Old Li couldn't believe it, and his voice trembled.

"Father, don't listen to his nonsense, if I really owe so much money, how can I come home safe and sound." Li Fu still didn't give up defending himself.

"You came back only because we paid off your gambling debts for you." Chen Yan sneered, "If you dare to do it or not, should I go to the gambling house and ask for your money back, so that you can be cut alive by them?" .”

The cold and emotionless words made Li Shi's heart beat violently, who still couldn't believe it.

"Ah Fu, is this all true?"

"How is it possible? I don't have the ability to owe 20 taels. Don't be fooled by him, Mu."

Li Fu stood in front of Mrs. Li and Old Li, so as soon as he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows provocatively at Chen Yan.

However, Li Shi, who was disturbed by Li Fuqiang's unreasonable words, had not yet cleared his mind, frowned and remained silent.

After a long time, Mrs. Li stopped the old Li who was about to speak, and questioned Chen Yan: "Don't just use a piece of paper to bluff people."

Because Li was illiterate, the bill Chen Yan held in his hand was just a piece of paper full of words to him, and he didn't know whether the real content was the same as what Chen Yan read just now.

For an outsider who he disliked very much, Li naturally chose to believe Li Fu's words.

"The one who was beaten so badly that he nearly died and still didn't forget to turn black and white, and the one who was blind and couldn't tell the truth from the false and even protected his son. You are worthy of a pair of sisters."

Chen Yan really didn't expect Li Shi to still believe Li Fu's words. This worst expectation, he and Li Maoshan analyzed it on the way here, but he didn't expect that the analysis was really right.

"Father, this bill was handed over to me by someone from the casino this morning."

At this time, Li Maoshan spoke slowly, his voice was steady without fluctuations, but what he said convinced Old Li more than Li Fu's self-defense.

"It's really the 20 taels of silver he owes?" Old Li confirmed again.

"Yes." Li Maoshan nodded and replied, "The people in the gambling shop are not kind. If I hadn't paid off his gambling debts for him, I'm afraid he would be missing some things."

These words were not threats. Li Fu, who was frightened to half his life by the people in the gambling shop yesterday, subconsciously shook his bloated body when he heard the words.

"certainly not……"

However, he still did not forget to quibble.

"Afu!"

Before Li Fu could finish his sentence, Li Shi already grabbed his wrist, and pressed his thumb on his wrist.

Li raised her head and asked him, "Is this true?"

"Mum, do you trust me or them?" Li Fu suddenly expressed his hurt.

"Then what are these injuries on your body?"

Over the years, Mrs. Li has managed the top and bottom of the house clearly, so she is not a person who is easily deceived and deceived.If this person hadn't involved his own son, he would have been furious as soon as he heard the words that the gambling house owed money.

"These are the ones we met and were beaten by a few ruffians."

"And what about the rope around your wrist?"

There were clear traces of being tied up with ropes on the swollen wrists.

"This..." Li Fu paused for a while, then turned his mind around and said, "You have to ask your elder brother, I asked him to untie it and he never untied it."

Seeing that he was still so stubborn, Chen Yan raised his foot and kicked Zhu Wu who had been crouching in the corner.Zhu Wu was kicked, and looked at Chen Yan with some doubts.

"It depends on your performance." Chen Yan said in a low voice.

Zhu Wu's expression froze when he heard the words, he looked at Li Maoshan who was always calm and composed in the main room, and then at old Li Tou who was frowning tightly, and he could still hear Li Fu's words of defense for himself.

Chen Yan winked at him.

Zhu Wu was excited, and hurriedly said: "It's all Li Fu's good deeds. He didn't study hard in the school, so he insisted on finding a few gangsters to have fun with. After going back and forth, I don't know when he became addicted to gambling. "

He paused while speaking, glanced at everyone, and continued, "He wanted to make a fortune from gambling, but he didn't expect that he would owe such a large amount of gambling debt after losing everything. Just owe it, And dragged me into the water."

Lifting up his sleeves, revealing the same bruises underneath, he raised his voice and said: "The people from the gambling house arrested us yesterday and gave us a lesson, look at the wounds on my body and neck, These were all beaten by people from the gambling house yesterday. I have suffered a little, but Afuna has suffered more."

Facing the scene where this person's evidence was all there, Li Fu turned his head a little anxiously, trying to pull back his Eun's heart that was gradually drifting away.However, Li Shi is not a blind and narrow-minded person. Even if he cannot read, he can still distinguish the facts.But what is presented in front of him now, everything shows that Li Fu really owes gambling debts.

"Ah Fu!" Li Shi called out loudly, and before Li Fu could continue to defend himself, he was slapped back in the stomach by Li Shi's heavy slap.

"slim Shady!"

He covered his right cheek that had been slapped, and said aggrievedly, "Mum, you don't believe me!"

"I really want to believe you, but show me evidence to refute it." Li yelled loudly, "Are you trying to say that they teamed up to play tricks on you? Deliberately framed you?"

Li Fu covered his face and wanted to nod, but was stared pale by Li Shi's cold gaze.

"You, Mum, I'm not a stupid person." Li's slap was loud and clear again, which surprised everyone in the main room.

Chen Yan just snorted coldly and said, "You still have the brains to tell right from wrong."

Mrs. Li glanced at him coldly, and said to Li Fu again: "Since you have the guts to go to the gambling house, then you should also know what I told you from a young age."

Li Fu's mind was flexible now, and he immediately remembered what Li Shi said to him every day before - if he dared to gamble, he planned to be a useless person with both legs and feet for the rest of his life, at least the useless person still had a life.

Thinking of this, all the wounds on his body suddenly ached, Li Fu's face turned pale with fright, and there were still traces of being bound by ropes on his hands, which made him even more embarrassed.

He knelt down in front of Mrs. Li, "Ah Mu, I really didn't mean to go to the casino."

"It wasn't intentional, it was intentional."

Chen Yan was still fanning the flames.

At this time, Mrs. Li took a round stick from nowhere, and it was quite heavy in her hand.

When Li Fu saw him holding a wooden stick, he shouted in fright: "Mum, I was wrong! I won't dare again!"

"I seem to have heard someone say this before today, but just now that person was trying to get away with it."

Chen Yan moved closer to Li Maoshan, but did not lower his voice.

The blunt words not only made Li Fu's face change, but Li's even froze.

The stick in his hand was raised high, and before it fell, Li Fu was already crying with his head in his arms.

"Mum, if you're just putting on a show, then you're free." Li Maoshan saw that his hand holding the stick hadn't dropped for a long time, and taunted him coldly, "Since I brought him back, I naturally have to deal with this matter well." thing."

"The family is unlucky. Since he made a serious mistake, he will naturally be punished." Old Li was not protective. He looked at Li Maoshan and asked, "Dashan, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"

"I retired from the school and worked as a farmer at home."

The eight words seemed random, but they hit Li Fu's proud and stubborn heart hard, causing him to cry out in pain, "I don't!"

Studying and taking the imperial examination has always been the goal of Li Fu's struggle, and it has also been his persistence for so many years.At this time, when he heard that Li Maoshan asked him to quit the school, how could he agree.

"As far as your virtue is concerned, you still want to get fame." Chen Yan sneered, and did not forget to add: "The 20 taels of silver are just lent to you, and you will need to repay it in the future. Don't think that there is no debt collection from the gambling house." , you can feel at ease and think that everything is over."
