Rebirth: Picking up a Little Husband

The restaurant was buzzing with people, and Xiao Er used himself as a few people, flying up and down, sweating profusely in this cold winter.

The boss smiled happily, greeted the guests, and sat inside.

After this busy trip, Xiaoer stopped, wiped his sweat with the handkerchief on his shoulders, stretched out his hand and pulled the shopkeeper's clothes, "Shopkeeper, what's going on today, why is it so lively?"

The shopkeeper gave him a sideways glance, "You haven't heard about such a big incident in the Li family in Yecheng?"

"Huh?" Xiao Er looked bewildered.

The shopkeeper shook his head, and put the teapot on the counter into his hand. Before Xiao Er showed bitterness, he pushed him, patted Xiao Er on the back and said, "Go and listen for yourself."

Xiao Er curled her lips, always feeling that the shopkeeper was ordering him deliberately, so that he couldn't stop for a while.

Reluctantly, he could only hold the teapot and pour tea table by table.

"Hey, have you all heard about what happened a few days ago?"

"Why didn't I hear that Ye City is full of commotion. It is said that today, Li's family will remove the second son of Li's family from the family tree in front of the officials. This is determined to sever the relationship."

"The Li Mansion you are talking about is not the number one Li Mansion in Ye City?"

"Otherwise, there is another Li's mansion, look at the people in the restaurant, which one is not here to watch the excitement."

"Then what's going on?"

"This story has to start with Second Young Master Li going to Yinan..."

The second son of the Li family went to Yinan to marry the twin sons of the Su family. It was a good talk, but who knew that the second son of the Li family became addicted to gambling and owed a lot of money to the gambling house.

The old lady of the Li family helped out once, buying a house, and helping to pay off gambling debts. Who knew that Second Young Master Li was an idiot who couldn't afford it.

Not only wasted the old lady's painstaking efforts, but also intensified.

Now he owes the gambling house tens of thousands of taels of silver. Isn't this rushing to ruin the Li family?There are still so many people in the Li family to support, how can they ignore everyone just because the second son Li is alone.

Now Mr. Li's second son has been detained by the casino, his house has also been taken away by the gambling house, and the rice shop of the Li family has also suffered.

What a family misfortune.

As a last resort, the old lady ordered the person to be removed from the genealogy, so as not to implicate the Li family.

Mrs. Li's family was unwilling at first, after all, it was her own, but in the end she couldn't, and she could only kill her relatives righteously. Because of this incident, she became ill. People from Li's family went to the pharmacy every day to get medicine.

I can only sigh, it's unlucky for anyone to have such a young master.

It is also in line with what the fortune teller said before, Keqin!

After everyone heard it, they felt bad, but Second Young Master Li deserved it. If he didn't learn it well, why did he have to learn the way of the gambling house? Those who have gamblers in their family think so, and even want to go back and sever ties.

But there are also doubts about how Mr. Li became addicted to gambling. It's just that he has a low voice and rarely thinks about it. He was overwhelmed by someone with a loud voice.

There are still people who are wondering, the Su family's Shuang'er and the Li family's second son are just detained in the gambling house, and they don't care?

It's just that people are paying attention to today's genealogy, so they don't think so much.

This restaurant is not far from Li's house, after lunch, if you rush over there, you can still see several respected old gentlemen in Yecheng.

Although there are quite a few people in Chuanzhou who have cut off their relatives, but the Li family is so uproarious that everyone knows it across several cities, so it can be regarded as the only family.

Some people praised the Li family for being a good judge, but some also criticized the Li family for being ruthless.

Of course, it is more to scold the second son of the Li family.

As for gamblers, if you lose and continue to gamble, no one will hate it.

But at this moment in the Li Mansion, Li Shengcai and the old lady were standing in the ancestral hall.

The above are all the ancestors of the Li family. Although there are many side branches, but in Li Shengcai's generation, the relationship is already far away.

The ancestors were not yet in the future, so the old lady and Li Shengcai took incense and knelt down to worship the ancestors in the ancestral hall.

Li Shengcai helped the old lady up, looked at the bustling street outside, and asked in a low voice: "Mother, if Li Chuyao is expelled from the Li family like this, the people in the capital will not be unhappy, right?"

The old lady glanced at him, looked at the ranking of the ancestors in the ancestral hall, twisted the Buddhist beads and asked, "Is Li Chuyao dead?"

Li Shengcai shook his head, "No."

"Then he can stand out and harm the Li family's interests?"

"Of course not."

"We brought him up and got married, but is there anything we can do to him?"

Li Shengcai sighed.

The old lady closed her eyes, as if she was feeling the baptism of her ancestors, and then said unhurriedly: "Since there are none, then he can only blame himself for not being up to date. If he breaks the relationship, he will have nothing to do with my Li family."

"Mother said so."

The ancestral hall fell into silence. The hundred-year-old tree in the courtyard had bare branches, maybe the roots were broken, and the bark was dry, as if it would not survive the next winter.

Suddenly there was a sound outside, and a few servants were seen coming in from outside, helping a few silver-haired old men.

The officials followed closely behind, giving the Li family enough face.

It seems that the Li family has made up their minds about this end, and it can no longer be eased.

The old lady looked at the neighbors in the village who were blocked from entering, and nodded at Li Shengcai.

Li Shengcai went out, stood in front of everyone, and said loudly: "I, Li, thank you very much for the people who came today to bear witness for the decision made by my Li family. Be quiet, don't make any noise."

After Li Shengcai finished speaking, he asked all the servants to get out of the way.

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.

The Li family is planning to invite them in?

Someone tentatively took a step forward, and Li Sheng stepped aside and made a "please" gesture.

Everyone understood, walked inside in an orderly manner, looked back, but also kept in mind Li Shengcai's words, be quiet and be a spectator.

Li Shengcai asked someone to move a stool, let the respected old man sit down, and invited the head of the official family to sit down.

Getting ready, one of them, a white-haired old man, is the oldest elder of the Li family and the current patriarch. He stood up with a hunched back, with a cane and a long beard, trembling in the wind.

The old patriarch was helped to walk in front of the ancestral hall, and bowed his hands to the tablet. He took the genealogy handed over by the clan, his hands trembling slightly.

"On behalf of the Li family, I'm here to ask the second son, Li Chuyao, what crimes did he need to expel from the genealogy?"

The old lady and Li Shengcai bowed to the old man, and they all blamed Li Chuyao.

"I borrowed thousands of taels from the rice shop before, and owed 2000 taels of gambling debts, and the Li family paid them back."

"Later, there were married couples who bought about 8000 taels of houses."

"Mipu lost tens of thousands of taels."

"The IOUs are tens of thousands of taels."

After careful calculation, everyone present was startled, so much money, not to mention that the Li family couldn't pay it back, as far as they were concerned, they were unwilling to pay it back.

This number is too scary.

Even the familiar old patriarch was taken aback. If he hadn't taken into account that he would continue to host, he really wanted to scold him, the family is unlucky!

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

The old lady stepped forward and said to everyone: "I made everyone laugh today. As Li Chuyao's grandmother, it is a crime for me to be lax in discipline. I promised him to go to Yinan in order to fulfill a good deed. Let him go astray and feel ashamed."

The old lady's words were sincere, her eyes were kind, and she was wearing Buddhist beads. With a few words, people felt the helplessness of the old man, and they couldn't help but think about how this biological mother raised her.

However, Li Shengcai spoke first, and they didn't say anything, so they could only listen to the old lady continue.

"I'm dissatisfied with everyone. Before Yao'er got married, there was a rumor that she owed gambling debts. The old man asked Uncle Qiong to go and make people correct it. The Su family also knew about this matter. After helping people settle the debt, he also agreed , never go again..."

The old lady had tears in her old eyes, wiped them with a handkerchief, took a breath, and continued: "Who would have thought that after getting married, Uncle Qiong would go back to his original nature, and I thought Yinan and Yecheng were far away. , The two are newly married, and after a few days, they will be brought back together, who would have known that such a thing would happen, this old man... is guilty."

Li Shengcai went up to support the old lady at the right time, and some people who had gamblers at home couldn't help crying, and even said: "The old lady understands the righteousness, what happened to Li's house today is also a warning to us, asylum cannot last forever, It’s not bad to end it in time.”

When one person speaks, those who are deeply moved agree with her, and they all sigh, "The old lady understands righteousness deeply."

The old lady was helped down, and Li Shengcai said: "As a father, it's my fault for not being a godfather. Please punish the patriarch."

How could the old patriarch punish him, the side branches of the Li family were all supported by the Li family, and he stepped forward to help him up.

"It's not your fault, Li's mansion is all run by you, and if not everyone in Li's mansion is like this."

These words reminded everyone that what happened to the eldest son of the Li family was known to everyone, but it was not serious. Later, Li Shengcai sent him to the academy to teach him. It was not Li Shengcai's fault.

I'm afraid that because of the matter of the second son of Li, the Li family is powerless, so they made such a bad plan to sever the relationship through notarization.

Before and after contacting some people, they couldn't help but think of Mrs. Li's family status, and sighed for a while.

If a son is not taught well, it may be that he has grown crookedly, but both sons are like this, which inevitably makes people think too much.

Li Shengcai saw everyone's expressions, and suddenly understood why the old lady didn't let Zhang Xianglan come. Unfortunately, the words had already been spoken. Even if he wanted to save Zhang Xianglan's reputation, he could only let the situation develop according to the old lady's wishes.

He sighed in his heart, glanced at the old lady, the fingers in his sleeves were clenched tightly and could only be loosened.

"Thank you patriarch."

The old patriarch stood in the middle, asked someone to bring a pen, and crossed off Li Chuyao's name from the Li family tree in front of everyone.

He tore off the introduction page belonging to Li Chuyao and burned it on the candle. He said loudly: "So far, there is no Li Chuyao in the Li family, and nothing about him has anything to do with the Li family."

The official family needs to do population registration. For those who came with them, turn to the population of Li's family, cross out and subtract one, then cross out Li Chuyao's name, and list it separately.

In this way, one family becomes two families, and there are no more disputes.
