Lucky husband

The story of the Liang family selling the shop spread in the county on the same day. After all, it was not too late when the guards went to arrest people, and many people hadn't returned home. After watching the excitement, everyone soon understood the truth behind it. , After separation, go back and tell relatives and friends in twos and threes.

There are two shops, one in the south of the city and the other in the north of the city, so the news spreads quickly on both sides. Those who were cheated of the deposit got the news the next morning at the latest.

Ten taels of silver may be okay for people with some family background, but for people like the Li family, it is a bit unacceptable.

It is not easy to make money, and it is thunderous to cheat money.

Fortunately, the problem was solved very quickly, and the county government took out the money and distributed it to the buyers who held the contract documents written by Boss Liang himself.

Some people got their money back and hurried home. After getting the money, some people couldn't help but ask if the shop had really been sold by the cheap guy surnamed Liang. Should those who bought the shop cheap on the difference.

The officials of the county government don't have the heart to deal with such people. If you give the money, let them leave quickly. Don't block the servants from doing business, or they will clean up with them. No matter whether the buyers are unwilling or not, it is always quiet outside the county government office. down.

This time, the incident was resolved very quickly. Those who bought the shop hid themselves happily, while those who only got their deposit back were a little bit dissatisfied despite being grateful.

As for the Li family, Li Chengzhi and his wife felt sympathy, fear and gratitude after listening to the guests talking about the Liang family's shop at the booth. They didn't know Brother Jin's ability. , this time they are the ones who got involved. Although the Fu family said at the time that they only need to pay five taels of silver as a deposit, five taels of silver is a lot of money to them, and they will have to work hard for several days to earn.

After understanding the whole story, Li Chengzhi and Bai Xiuhe looked at each other and decided to learn a lesson. If they meet a suitable shop again in the future, they must not look at the shop and feel satisfied and then want to settle down. They must inquire about it.

On the other side, Li Chengshi, who knows what's going on, has the same idea. Although Brother Jin has a prophetic dream, he can't relax his vigilance because of this. The child will leave and marry one day. Ability forms dependence, so you must be more careful in doing things, and find a way to protect brother Jin well.

Because he didn't commit any major crimes, Boss Liang was released after being locked up for a few days. A few days ago, his wife took the money from the family and went to Zhoucheng to bring his son back.

Now the family's reputation in the county is bad, and if they go out without paying attention, someone will quietly throw rotten vegetables at them, so after Boss Liang came out, they hurriedly left the county and went to the most remote place in Changping County. A new life begins in the town.

It was already the end of the year, and the New Year atmosphere in the county was getting stronger and stronger. After the affairs of the county government were finished, compared with the previous two years, Zhao Chengze gave everyone their annual leave and asked all the servants to go back to celebrate the New Year with their families.

Li Chengshi, who was on vacation, first stayed at home for a day to accompany his parents and help with some housework, and then saw that the weather was good, so he took Jiang Zhiyun, Li Mingjin and Li Mingkang, who was already two years old, to the county seat Have fun and buy new year's goods.

They set off relatively late, and arrived at the county seat in the middle of the morning. It stands to reason that there should be no one at the rice noodle stall, but when they passed by, they found that there were quite a lot of customers at the rice noodle stall, so they just said hello and left.

Speaking of which, Li Mingjin hadn't really visited the county town for a while, and he found everything new in the county now, especially when he saw the hawker selling candied haws, his eyes sparkled immediately. The corner of his father's clothes.

Li Chengshi was hinted by Li Mingjin, and raised his head to ask his wife for advice. Li Mingjin also turned his head to his mother, with a longing look on his face.

Jiang Zhiyun saw Li Mingjin's little tricks in her eyes. If it was normal, she would think that Li Mingjin ate a lot of candies and pastries recently and would not let him eat candied haws, but she also thought that the New Year is coming soon, so she can indulge her children a little A little bit, so she nodded.

Seeing this, Li Mingjin hurriedly dragged his father to the hawker selling candied haws, picked left and right, and finally ordered two that he thought were the largest and roundest, one for his younger brother.

Li Mingkang is still young, although his teeth have grown enough to bite things, it is still difficult for him to eat candied haws, but he can hold the candied haws and lick them, eating the candies on them.

After buying candied haws, Li Chengshi hugged his youngest son, Jiang Zhiyun led his older brother, and the family of four walked together on the busier street than usual, shopping for things to use for the New Year.

At this time, there are many things sold on the street, such as melon seeds and peanut candies for visiting guests, cakes and cloths that can be used as gifts for visiting relatives, and dried seafood brought by foreign businessmen. Loaded a lot of things.

Just when they were about to find a place to rest for a while, Li Mingkang, who was still happy before, burst into tears without warning. The candied haws he had been holding tightly to before also loosened and fell directly to the ground.

Seeing her son crying suddenly, Jiang Zhiyun put down the dry goods she was looking at, put her arms around her son and gently shook him to coax him: "Kang'er, good boy, don't cry when mother is here...Sanggong, what's the matter with Kang'er, isn't it?" How many people accidentally bumped into him just now?"

"I'm holding him facing this way. It's impossible for someone to bump into him. Could it be that the candied haws stick stuck his mouth?" Li Chengshi looked nervously at Li Mingkang and wanted him to open his mouth. Is there any bleeding.

"Father and mother, I know why my brother is crying." Li Mingjin looked at the candied haws that had fallen to the ground and stood there covered in dust with a look of pity, "He ate all the sugar on the surface of the candied haws, and the hawthorn inside was sour."

Hearing this, Li Chengshi lowered his head and looked carefully at the candied haws on the ground, and found that the sugar coating on one of them had been licked off by his son, and there was a row of tooth marks on the hawthorn inside, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

At this time, Li Mingkang, who didn't continue to cry after being coaxed, pointed to the candied haws on the ground and said angrily, "Mother, Tangtang is bad!"

Li Mingkang had never eaten such a sour taste before. He didn't know that the taste was called sour. He just felt uncomfortable now, so he decided that candied haws were bad, bad for bad children.

Jiang Zhiyun held back her laughter and coaxed her son: "Well, Tangtang is bad, Kang'er will not eat Tangtang in the future."

After talking about the candied haws he ate was bad, Li Mingkang looked at the bunch of candied haws in his brother's hand, pointed to the candied haws and continued, "Brother, no, eat candy, bad, bad candy!"

Li Mingjin couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard what his younger brother said, he laughed a few times before holding his younger brother's hand and said to him seriously: "Kang'er, this is called candied haws, it's not bad, you can eat it when you grow up I like it very much."

When eating candied haws, you can’t eat the hawthorn in it after eating the candy. You have to chew the two together. The taste is sour and sweet, but unfortunately my brother can’t feel it now.

Li Mingkang didn't listen to that, he watched his brother still pinch the candied haws in his hand, and jumped towards his brother in his mother's arms, as if he was planning to take the candied haws from Li Mingjin's hand directly.

Jiang Zhiyun has little work and little strength. Just holding her two-year-old fat son is already very strenuous. She almost missed him when he flopped around. Fortunately, Li Chengshi moved quickly to catch him, so that Li Mingkang would not fall.

Seeing that her son was about to cry again, Jiang Zhiyun winked and asked Li Chengshi to take him to look at other things to distract him, and then asked Li Mingjin to quickly eat the three remaining hawthorns on the stick.

Li Mingjin thought about it and didn't eat it, so he asked his mother for a clean handkerchief, wrapped the candied haws and stuffed them into his father's basket: "Second sister, fourth sister and younger sister Mingyue haven't eaten candied haws yet, I want Take it back and give them a taste."

Given the current situation of the Li family, if you want to bring candied gourds to the children of the eldest brother and the second brother's family, you can buy a few later when you meet them on the way back, but Jiang Zhiyun thought that Brother Jin said that he would leave his for the sisters , she didn't mention the matter of buying candied haws again. It's a good thing to love brothers and sisters.

After walking around the county town, it's time to go back to the village. If you miss lunch late, you will be talked about by Mrs. Li all afternoon.

Just when the family of four turned around, Li Mingjin caught a glimpse of a person out of the corner of his eye. This person was quite familiar to him, and it was Bai Zhiwen from the Bai family next door.

There were a lot of people on the street at the moment, and Li Mingjin was a small man. When he turned his head and tried to find Bai Zhiwen in the crowd, it was already impossible to find him.

Jiang Zhiyun led Li Mingjin forward, and when she found that her son hadn't followed, she turned to look at him: "Brother Jin, what's wrong?"

Li Mingjin shook his head: "It's nothing. I seemed to see the brother of the Bai family next door just now. I don't know if I misread it."

"You should read it right. Today seems to be the day when Zhiwen went to the county to look for Mr. Zhang. I heard Mingde say it before." Li Chengshi continued.

Li Chengshi and Li Mingde's two nephews, Li Mingli, have a good relationship. When they were still studying in the county school, they were often picked up by him. Li Mingde likes to talk to his third uncle about anything, so he understands these things quite well. Yes.

But Li Chengshi turned his head and glanced at the road that Li Mingjin had just looked at. That road was not in the direction of Changda Street. I don't know why Bai Zhiwen appeared in this place at this time.

Today is indeed the day when Bai Zhiwen went to study at Zhang Anhao's house. Usually, he came here once every ten days, and he returned to the village with Li Mingde, his parents and the others after lunch.

Today is a bit different. Mr. Zhang Lao has other things to do in the afternoon, so he asked the two young apprentices to go home first. Li Mingde consciously went to the booth, and Bai Zhiwen took the books he copied to the bookstore. On the way to the bookstore.

Bai Zhiwen knew about his family's situation. His grandfather and father didn't save much money when they were alive, and they used a lot when they were sick. So after the family lost their support, he and his mother immediately returned the rent and returned to their ancestral home to observe their filial piety. .

After returning to the ancestral home, although the family's expenses have decreased, the three of them still need money. Bai Yao's embroidery work is enough for the family's expenses, and he can save some of it. It seems that his life is better than that of the people in the same village. better.

However, Bai Zhiwen was going to take the imperial examination in the future. If his mother had to save all the money for the exam by doing embroidery work alone, it would be too tiring. He was worried that his mother would wear out her eyes.

Under the guidance of Xiaobai Xiucai, Bai Zhiwen practiced calligraphy from the beginning of reading, and his handwriting was not bad, so he thought of copying books to make money.

It happened that Li Mingde's younger brother, Li Mingli, was working as an apprentice at a bookstore in the county seat. Bai Zhiwen asked him to find out which books were selling well in the bookstore, and then he picked out the ones he wanted to learn, and copied them while learning. It can not only earn money to subsidize the family, but also review articles and practice calligraphy, without delaying things at all.
