Farmer one or two things

Liu Shengyao and his wife turned pale when they heard this. It is true that they took the silver, but they only took 300 taels, and Liu Cailian sent over one after another, which was less than 400 taels of silver.The money is not in vain, not to mention that the Song family had a quarrel before, and their family was at a time when they were eye-catching, so they didn't use the money.

Originally, Liu Shengyao and his wife planned to wait a year or two to go to the town to buy a shop and then buy some land.From now on, life at home will be easier.Originally, Liu Cailian was going to send them money once in a few months, but this time there was no movement for three or four months, and Liu Shengyao and his wife felt that something was wrong.Now there is such a confession that Wan Qianfeng and Zhu Desheng were both arrested and imprisoned.

Liu Cailian is their daughter, they still understand, she is much smarter than them.But such a smart daughter actually wrote such a confession, it can be seen that the Song family really caught Liu Cailian.That Wan Qianfeng is even more hateful, and he even told about the money given to them. Once they go to court, they won't be able to deny it even if they want.

Li Zheng has already said this, and his two elder brothers have let go. Liu Shengyao understands that if their family is really stubborn, they are afraid that when they go to jail and implicate the village, Li Zheng and the clan elders will drive them out of the village. .The 400 taels of silver are already in the open, and they can't keep it in the yamen, so their family is really doomed.

Zhou's heart was already panicked, she cursed her daughter Liu Cailian for hurting them, and felt wronged at the same time.Obviously they didn't persecute Liu Cailian, they just persuaded her a few words, but why don't you go there when you have a good life, what's the benefit of following a poor show.She is also for the good of her daughter and her family, but now she is said to be persecuted.

Song Tiancai is no longer as bookish as he used to be, and he goes to the Yamen every now and then.She is a grandmother now, how she will face her daughter-in-law and son after she is caught in prison, and her grandchildren will have to blame them for hurting the family's reputation.

The room was quiet, and Liu Guangliang said, "I've come to this point, I don't want to listen to you. Anyway, if you insist on refusing, then wait until the Song family sues the Yamen. I'm afraid you will lose face, and our village will accept it." I won’t leave your family anymore. That’s enough, give me an explanation, my uncles and I don’t have time to spend with you.”

Liu Shengyao suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Lizheng, I am Song Tiancai's father-in-law, and he didn't write a letter of divorce with Cailian. I'll go and beg him, kneel down, kowtow to him, let him He let our family go. If this matter doesn't get out, it won't affect the village, so I'll go right away, right away."

Liu Kunwu was startled when he heard this, and hurried forward to stop Liu Shengyao who wanted to run out to find Song Tiancai.When Liu Shengyao was stopped by someone, he was already anxious, but when he saw that it was Liu Kunwu, he thought that Liu Kunwu was the son-in-law of the Song family.The resentful face immediately turned into flattery and said: "Awu, uncle also watched you grow up. You follow uncle to the Song family and intercede with uncle. At any rate, you and the Song family are relatives, so you can talk. The Uncle's family is small if it is retaliated by the Song family, but it is big if it hurts the village. They look at your face and say nothing to make your sons look bad."

Liu Kunwu shook off Liu Shengyao's hand, and said with a sneer, "I don't have such a big face, so I can open it up. When you took the money from the seller's daughter-in-law, why didn't you expect that the village would be involved. What is Song Tiancai?" People, you can see that he has suffered, I stopped him with good intentions. Let him relax for the sake of Taozi and my Yue family, and settle this matter privately. You provoked this matter, and you don't want anything Don't worry. You want to keep your money and your reputation without punishment. You treat the Song family as a face. Do you still think Song Tiancai can let you do this? I'll leave it at that. You went to the Song family today, and he I can send you to the yamen immediately. At that time, I am afraid that even I will be annoyed. I am afraid that he will not take care of the reputation of the Liu family village. It doesn't matter if you kill yourself, don't implicate us. "

"Lizheng, elders of the clan, everyone has seen Song Tiancai's temperament. He handed over this matter to our village to negotiate with Uncle Shengyao's family, which is to give us face. If we don't do well, we don't speak up, and people will make trouble According to his temperament, he will definitely not give up. At that time, he will definitely say whether it is Ding Mao or Mao, and he may even let Liujia Village handle the matter first. Speak out. People in the village who have been implicated may blame us for not being able to do things well." Liu Kunwu expressed his assumptions with a worried expression, which was half true and half deceitful.

As soon as these words came out, everyone remembered that Song Tiancai was not a good-natured person.If this made Liu Shengyao come to his door to scare him, he might think that Liu Jiacun deliberately did not show him face.When the time comes to face the court, and if they don't ask for anything from them in Liujia Village, the people in Liujia Village will only lose.

And those money, once they go to court, how can they still have their share in the village.They all fell out, and they wouldn't try to appease the Liu Family Village by giving them some money. In this way, the money would be gone and their reputation would be ruined.No, Liu Shengyao's family must not go to the Song family.

Liu Guangliang opened the mouth first and said: "Kun Wu is right, what you Liu Shengyao did was wrong first. Song Tiancai has already put the words aside, you choose by yourself whether you want to pay the money or go to court. If you want the money, bring it with you today Your family members get out of our Liujia Village; if you give us money, we will intercede with you and help the village work for two years, and this matter will be exposed."

Mrs. Zhou pulled Liu Shengyao, Liu Shengyao saw Liu Kunwu blocking the door, he couldn't get out of the door.Liu Guangliang now wants him to choose, and if he doesn't choose, he won't give it away.He looked towards his two older brothers, and his eyes were pleading, hoping that his two older brothers would come forward to intercede with him.

As the eldest brother, Liu Shengguang felt a little uncomfortable seeing his younger brother being forced by everyone. He felt a pain in his waist just as he was about to say a few words.It turned out that his mother-in-law had pinched him and glared at him viciously.Liu Shengguang immediately thought of his eldest daughter who often came back to cry and complain. If this incident really got out, his eldest daughter would definitely have to be divorced in the end.One of his granddaughters was fifteen and the other was thirteen. Once the eldest daughter was divorced, three of them, mother and daughter, would have to be forced to death.

Thinking of this, Liu Shengguang was cruel and avoided Liu Shengyao's eyes.Liu Shengzu's mother-in-law said: "Third uncle, sister-in-law, you are very kind. When you are good, you and your two elder brothers are unexpected. If something happens, you will take us as the top of the vat. Let me put it here. If our family is killed by you Don’t blame me if you get kicked out of the village. You go there and we go there. Don’t miss me if you eat steamed buns. My family will follow you. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not talking Fraternity."

Seeing that he couldn't find anyone to help, Liu Shengyao had no choice but to say, "I have some silver, but I definitely don't have 500 taels. The big girl took 200 taels, and I can only pay 300 taels. If there is too much money, I can't get it out anyway." If you can't do it, then I have no choice but to go to the Yamen with Song Tiancai."

What you said was a rascal, Liu Shengguang frowned and glanced at Liu Yupei.Liu Yupei said unhurriedly: "You can ask for whoever you give, and there is no reason to just waste it. Since you took so much money from others, and you spend it, you can make up for it yourself; If you have leftovers, we won’t take them. Today you bring 300 taels, and we will give you two days to tell your eldest daughter that if you don’t want to go to the cell, you have to pay the money. Otherwise, we will go to you For the eldest daughter’s in-law’s house, she needs to have a good talk with her parents. I think that even if she gives birth to a son in her in-law’s house, her in-law’s family won’t be able to tolerate her.”

Zhou's face was livid, Liu Yupei was the highest seniority in the clan, and he was almost never refuted when he spoke.Liu Shengyao had no choice but to ask Zhou to go back and get 300 taels of silver, otherwise, the people here would not let him go home.

That night, Zhou and Liu Shengyao went to Liu Xiulian's house.He directly asked for 200 taels of silver, and said exactly what Liu Yupei had said.Liu Xiulian's in-law's family didn't know what she was doing outside. At first, because Liu Cailian was missing, it was rumored that she eloped.She was also talked about by her in-law's family for a while, and as a last resort, she had to spend 20 taels of silver to buy gifts for everyone in her in-law's family, only to coax her mother-in-law, father-in-law, father-in-law and sister-in-law to stop talking about it.

But her in-laws have treated her like a cash cow since then, asking her to pay for everything.Every time the eldest sister-in-law goes back to her mother's house, she puts on herself any good things she sees.As long as she said a few words, her mother-in-law would show her face, and her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law would still add fuel and jealousy.In the end, she came out with bad things, and she couldn't get back the face of her in-laws.

A few days ago, she became very angry, relying on the money she had in her hand, she encouraged her husband to separate the family.The parents-in-law only gave them two dilapidated houses and two acres of paddy fields, but nothing else was left.She has money, but she doesn't care about it, she just stopped talking after being wronged by her husband. She plans to wait two days to go back to her natal family, and tell her husband that she borrowed money from her natal family to buy some land for planting.

Now she is told by her parents that the 200 taels of silver will be given to the clan, how could Liu Xiulian be willing.She still has to rely on a sum of money to live a good life, how can she lose it.Liu Xiulian's reluctance, Liu Shengyao and the Zhou family couldn't see it, but the clan suppressed them, and they couldn't move their remaining 100 taels, so they could only let Liu Xiulian spit out the money.

This matter was originally led by Liu Xiulian, and they were tired of being parents. Now that something happened, they would naturally want to get back the original money.In the end, Liu Shengyao became ruthless and told Liu Xiulian that if he didn't give the money, he would make a fuss in front of Liu Xiulian's mother-in-law, mother-in-law and father-in-law, and spread the matter out.

Liu Shengyao and the Zhou family are parents, and Liu Xiulian can't screw them up no matter what.In the end, I had to take out 150 taels of silver, but I just shook my head and refused to take any more.In the end, Liu Shengyao and Mrs. Zhou saw that they couldn't force out any money, so they had to go home.

Liu Xiulian looked at the remaining twenty silver coins and felt extremely regretful.Divided the family, offended the natal family, and now I have no money, how will I live in the future.

Liu Shengyao and the Zhou family collected 500 taels of silver and gave it to the clan. Liu Guangliang discussed with the clan elders and asked Liu Shengyao and the Zhou family to go to the mill to grind for two years.Every village has a mill, except for those with cows and mules who pull the milling animals, the others are servants.There are also [-] or [-] households in Liujia Village who are widowed, elderly, weak, sick, and disabled. The rice, noodles, and miscellaneous grains of these households are all milled by the villagers in turn.

There is another kind that makes mistakes and goes to the mill to help grind.In addition to doing farm work, sleeping and eating, you have to go to the mill.The elders of the clan will check from time to time, how much they have to grind out in a month, Liu Shengyao and Zhou's waist can't straighten up after grinding for a month.The most important thing is that they can't stand the speculation and ridicule of those gossip women. The clan elders don't condone it. They just want Liu Shengyao's family to learn a lesson so that they can explain to the Song family.Therefore, the clan elders sent someone to tell Liu Shengyao and his wife that if they did not finish their work, they would be whipped, so that Liu Shengyao and his wife would no longer dare to play tricks and be lazy.

The clan elders and Li Zheng of Liujia Village were relatively good at life. They took the 500 taels of silver handed over by Liu Shengyao, and took out 100 taels of silver, and asked Liu Kunwu to give it to Song Tiancai.Song Tiancai was reluctantly satisfied after learning about Liu Cailian's natal family from Liu Kunwu. As for the 100 taels of silver, Song Tiancai did not return it.This was the group of old foxes in Liujia Village testing him, and he accepted them to make them feel at ease.

Song Tiancai himself was unwilling to use this money, because he felt tired of it.However, if it is money, he is not afraid that there will be no place to spend it. He went to Lizheng's house once and donated money again.In addition to buying another six acres of sacrifice land, Song Tiancai directly bought rice noodles for the rest of the money. For families with children and elderly people in the village, a child would have 14 catties of rice and 50 catties of noodles, and the same would be true for the elderly.Children under the age of [-] are available, and the elderly are no less than [-] years old.

This time it cost ten taels of silver, and Song Tiancai planned to distribute it once a year in winter and summer in the future. This is also the feeling he got from Song Xiaobao's playmate, Gouzi.Not long after Gouzi was born, his father died, and his mother guarded his father for three years. Life was really difficult, so she remarried when she returned to her mother's house.

Gouzi lived with his grandparents. According to seniority, Song Tiancai should call him grandparents or uncle and aunt.His grandfather's name is Song Sanlei, and he said that when he was born, it happened to be spring, and three thunders struck him, so he got such a name.Grandma Liu, known as Mrs. Liu.His grandparents gave birth to a dog father, and a daughter married to Fengjia Village.

These two old people only have two acres of paddy fields in their homes, and they have to pay taxes every year in exchange for coarse grains to get enough food and clothing.Fortunately, Songjia Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, picks wild vegetables in spring, and fishes and shrimps in summer. Finally, the old couple can live their lives.However, it is very poor.

The two old people love the grandson Gouzi very much, and leave some good things in the family to him, Gouzi is also filial.Once at the Song family, Song Tiancai gave Gouzi two pastries to eat.Gouzi put it away after taking a small mouthful, saying that grandma has no teeth, and this snack is soft and can be saved for them to eat.

At that time, Song Tiancai felt that although Gouzi was small, he had the heart of a child.Besides, Song Sanlei and his mother-in-law didn't like to take advantage of others. Every time they knew that the Song family had given Gouzi something to eat, they would ask Gouzi to bring something when he came to the Song's house.Sometimes it's just a few wild fruits, sometimes it's just a few eggs. Although it's not worth a lot of money, this kind of communication makes Gouzi and Song Xiaobao get along very naturally and intimately.

Song Tiancai admired these two old people very much, and used this method to teach the dog to come and go, not just to ask for something in return.

However, Song Tiancai felt uncomfortable seeing Gouzi being short and thin.He thought about it, if he didn't wear it back then, then Song Xiaobao would have been another dog.Thinking about it this way, Song Tiancai's heart hurts like being pricked by a needle.
