With a bank note in his arms and a hundred taels of broken silver in his sleeve, Li Su left the gate of Yong'an Dang, and the shopkeeper and his assistant delivered it to the door in person, warmly and politely. The big shopkeeper even helped to call for a sedan chair. Although the man didn't understand what the old lady had become and how much money she had gotten, but judging by the big shopkeeper, it should be a good thing.
Li Su has already felt several eyes on her, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, Nima, this is because he is afraid that others will not know that she is rich, right? If his thoughts were any more sinister, he might suspect Yong'an.
Li Su didn't refuse, got on the sedan chair, and put all the bank notes and silver into the space as soon as he entered. Still the safest space.
Sure enough, the sedan chair swayed all the way, and suddenly stopped. Li Su lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw that the sedan chair had stopped in an unfamiliar alley.
"Old lady, be sensible, hurry up and teach me the money, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." The leader bearer said proudly. One of his relatives is Yong'an's buddy, and someone just sent someone to tell him that a big business has come to his door. That's why he deliberately carried the sedan chair and waited near Yong'an.
Seeing the big shopkeeper personally send the old lady out, he knew that there was no mistake.
There was no fear on Li Su's face. He got out of the sedan chair slowly and looked around. This is a dead end and there are no people around. It seems that these people have been prepared for a long time. Maybe it's done often.
Li Su tilted his neck and moved his limbs. It's been a long time since she did it, she really misses that feeling. She looked around, but couldn't find any convenient weapons. Turning her head to look at the chair pole as thick as her calf, she pulled it out with all her strength.
Those tall and burly men stared wide-eyed, no, aren't they just a helpless old lady? How come you have so much strength! Could it be that they are dazzled
They didn't realize that they were not dazzled until the old lady waved the sedan chair and hit her head and face.
Li Su vented heartily, his back no longer hurts, his legs no longer hurt, and his whole body feels energetic. Seeing the people lying on the ground, Li Su went up to mend his foot again, "Grandson! Don't even look at who I am, your grandma! Let me see you next time, and break your dog legs!"
Then clap your hands and walk out.
Li Su was not familiar with this area, and he couldn't find the way back after walking for a long time. After walking like a headless fly for a while, she was about to ask someone, when she saw the man who had just greeted her rushing over panting, seeing Li Su, the man's eyes lit up, "Old An, are you okay?" Our shopkeeper is worried, let us come and have a look. We searched all the way, and heard that the bearer had carried you here, so he hurriedly chased after you. Are you all right?"
"It's okay! Those idiots set prices on the floor, I don't want to. I won't sit in their sedan chairs." Li Su said lovingly.
The guy's eyes widened and he blinked, "Really? What about them?"
"I don't know. I think they have worked hard. I gave them some money. I guess they went to drink somewhere!" Li Su's ability to tell nonsense became more and more powerful.
The guy scratched his head in embarrassment, "Really? That's good, that's good!" Could it be that their conscience discovered it? No way? Just after the old lady left, the shopkeeper woke up from the surprise. Thinking of the several malicious robberies that had happened before, the shopkeeper was busy and asked him to lead people all the way to catch up, hoping that there would be time.
In the end, nothing happened!
"Okay, let's send it here, I know the way." Li Su said with a smile, then touched from his sleeve, touched the ten taels of silver ingot that was used as a bracelet just now, and sighed, why didn't he expect it to be in his sleeve Put some broken silver.
But he still gritted his teeth and took out the money, "I'm going to trouble you to make a trip today, and you can take this money to drink tea!"
The buddy didn't refuse, "Thank you, Lao An!"
When Li Su returned home, Yingniang had already washed her clothes and was preparing lunch in the kitchen, while Li Yuan and Li Ru were writing and drawing on the sand table.
Seeing Li Su's return, Li Yuan cheered and ran to Li Su's side, but when he saw Li Su's hands were empty, he stopped, "Grandma!" Didn't we agree to buy delicious food
Yingniang heard the movement and came out of the kitchen, "Yuan'er, don't mess around." Then she laughed, "Mother, are you back? You've worked hard, mother, let's drink some tea!"
"Grandma is not good today, grandma forgot. Grandma will make up for you later!" Li Su patted Li Yuan's head and smiled.
"Mom, don't spoil him, now that the family is like this, it's good to have a stutter." Ying Niang said hastily.
"I'm going to cook separately today. Go to the Taibai Tower and ask for a banquet, then go to the next door to say hello, ask the next door Ling Erlang to accompany you, invite those family members, have a meal, and pay back the money owed by the way! " Li Su said.
Yingniang's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Mother!"
Li Su nodded, Ying Niang's eyes turned red with excitement, and then she felt guilty for a while, Mother pawned the dowry for this family, and when Lang Jun came back, how should she explain to him!
Liu Yingniang completely forgot at this time that her dowry had already been pawned clean.
"What are you doing in a daze, go quickly! Bring Yuan'er with you." Li Su said, hammering his arm. This body is really not good, I have been tossing for a long time, and I am very tired. In the end, I still have to buy some people to come back. I can't let Ying Niang show her face for everything.
It's not that Li Su thinks it's bad for women to show their faces, but that's just the way this world is. In addition, Li Yu is a bit hypocritical. It's better to be cautious, so as not to lose your tongue.
Yingniang hurriedly pulled Li Yuan and left together, only Li Su and Li Ru were left at home, Li Ru stood timidly aside, Li Su looked at her helplessly, and waved: "Ru'er, come here Come here, grandma."
Li Ru hesitated for a moment, but still walked over slowly.
Li Su held her hand and looked her up and down, this little girl is so pretty, she can't complain that he will be favored by Prince Kang's dandy in the future, and be kept as a concubine. It's just that the clothes looked old, as if they had been altered from clothes worn by Liu Yingniang.
"Tomorrow, I will ask your mother to pull out some good materials and make some good clothes for you. Let's see what you are wearing here?" Li Su thought about this home, where the original owner, Li Yu and Li Yuan and his son can often wear new clothes Needless to say, Li Yu, the head of the family has fame, and he must wear new clothes when he goes out to meet friends. As for the original owner, she considers herself the mother of a scholar, an old lady from a scholar's family, and refuses to wear old ones out of face. Li Yuan, as a boy in the twins and the only son in the family, can also have a few new clothes. Only Liu Yingniang and Li Ru, mother and daughter, wear old clothes every day.
Li Ru was a little happy when she heard that Grandma was going to make new clothes for herself, but remembering the gloomy look at home before, Li Ru said sensiblely, "Grandma, I don't have any money at home, so I don't want new clothes."
Li Su stroked Li Ru's hair, "Don't worry about these things." Some things need to be taken care of quickly. Counting the days, Li Yu should be on his way back from injury.
Not to mention Li Su's inability to prevent Li Yu's injury, even if he did, Li Su didn't intend to intervene. She also wanted to have a good time while Li Yu was recuperating.
Liu Yingniang came back soon, and not long after, the folks from Taibailou delivered a banquet, and then the Li family's creditors also came. Li Su is old, so he doesn't care about these things, and pays off all the debts he owes in front of the big guys.
The creditors were a little confused about the sudden ability of the Li family to pay off their debts. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. They only heard that the old lady of the Li family had pawned a family heirloom. As for what it was and how much it was, they didn't know.
Anyway, the debt owed by the Li family has been paid off, and Li Yu still has a reputation. Although he has failed many times, he is still young. What if he wins the exam in the future
It's better to cultivate a good relationship in everything.
After paying off the debt, not only Li Su, but even Liu Yingniang felt a lot easier.
Then, Li Su found Ren Yazi and bought a few servants, which happened to be a family of three, the man was a lame and dumb, the woman was both deaf and dumb, and the daughter was healthy, but looked very thin. The whole family refused to part with each other, if they wanted to buy it, they would buy it together, there was no other way. Fortunately, Li Su took a fancy to the family of three and bought them for five taels of silver.
"From now on, your family will live in the East Wing. Boil some water first, and the three of you have cleaned up. Throw away all the clothes on your body! Yingniang, find some old clothes for them to wear first. I will make them for them later. A few clothes. Make two new clothes every month. Zuo Kui, right? You will be in charge of the door, chopping firewood and carrying water at home will be yours, and the kitchen will be left to your mother-in-law. As for Yan’er, From now on, I will serve Ru'er and play with her!" Li Su said.
Liu Yingniang was a little at a loss, "Mom, what should I do?" She used to do these things, but now they are all done by others. What is she doing
"You? Go and make some new clothes for your husband and Yuan'er Ru'er! Make it for Ru'er first." Li Su said angrily.
When Liu Yingniang heard that she had something to do, she immediately felt relieved, "Got it, mother." Then she went back to her room happily.
Seeing that his sister had a little girl, Li Yuan ran to Li Su, took Li Su's hand and said, "Grandma, I want it too."
"You're still young, I'll buy you a book boy when you get older! Go study hard first!" Li Su laughed.
Zuo Kui wiped away his tears, gestured to his wife, pointed to the direction of the east wing, and pointed to the well. Then Zuo Kui went to fetch water from the well, and the mother-in-law went to boil water in the kitchen. The family of three took a happy bath and wore the clothes given by the master. Although the clothes were old, they were washed clean.
At dinner, they eat whatever the host family eats, but they refuse to eat at the same table.
At night, the family of three slept on the kang. Although the quilt was not new, it was sun-dried and soft. Yan'er fell asleep quickly. Zuo Kui and the mother-in-law had red eyes and sighed endlessly, they met a good master! Be blessed!
