a month later...
These days, Chu Yang has been inquiring about the situation of Li Erxi's family with some villagers in Xinghua Village. After inquiring, I learned that the situation of Li Erxi's family is very bad. I heard that Jixiang Casino sent more than a dozen thugs to Xinghua Village to collect debts from Li Erxi's family. Li Erxi had no choice but to sell the family land and house, and together with some savings of the family, he managed to scrape together fifty taels of silver.
Li Xiaojiang owed one hundred and eighty taels, so of course fifty taels were not enough. So, the people from Jixiang Casino took Li Erxi's family to Ping'an Town to ask Xiao Qi's husband's family for money. However, everyone didn't know that Xiaoqi's life in her husband's house was not good. Xiao Qi has a bad temper and no brains. When he first married, the old man liked him quite a bit. Xiao Qi is not a person who can use tricks, so he was quickly defeated by everyone. Even the old man doesn't like him that much anymore.
This time, as soon as the matter about Li Xiaojiang came out, the old man heard that he wanted to pay his brother-in-law one hundred and thirty taels of silver to pay off his debts. Naturally, it was impossible to give one hundred and thirty taels of silver, so he only gave Xiao Qi a few rags and drove him out of the house.
In Ping'an Town, they didn't get any money, so Jixiang Gambling House could not let it go, and directly sold all eight members of Li Erxi's family into Yazifang. Reluctantly sold for eighty taels of silver. Adding the previous fifty taels, a total of one hundred and thirty taels of silver was received, and there was still a shortfall of fifty taels of silver. Therefore, Jixiang Casino went directly to Li Daxi's and Li Sanxi's families, threatening them not to help Li Erxi's family pay back the money, and to sell all their sons, daughter-in-laws and children.
The eldest son of Li Daxi's family refused to accept his argument and was beaten up by Fatty. Li Daxi had no choice but to sell half of the family's land, and took out all his savings to help Li Erxi's family repay the twenty-five taels of silver. Li Sanxi's family was not as wealthy as Li Daxi's family, so they were forced to do nothing. The old couple sold the house and lived in their son's house, and only then did they get together twenty-five taels of silver for the gambling house. So far, the debt of one hundred and eighty taels of silver has only been repaid.
Hearing this, Chu Yang can only feel that this ancient society is so lawless. If it is modern, at least you can call the police. Unfortunately, in ancient times, the poor people did not dare to report to the officials, so they could only bear it by themselves. with.
Looking at the thoughtful daughter-in-law lying in his arms. Chu Yang leaned over and kissed the other party's lips. "What are you thinking?"
"No, I didn't think about anything." Shaking his head, Li Xiaohu said he didn't think about anything.
Seeing the daughter-in-law who was obviously preoccupied, Chu Yang smiled. "Why, are you worried about Li Erxi's family?"
"Hmph, I'm not worried about them? If you don't have money, you still have to gamble like others. This is Li Xiaojiang's own fault. But, but..." Li Xiaohu frowned at the end.
"But father can't let them go, right?" Seeing his daughter-in-law's stammering appearance, Chu Yang immediately thought of this. Xiaohu has never had a good impression of those three families, and has always disliked them, so Xiaohu doesn't care whether they will be sold or not. However, the old man is different. After all, Li Erxi is the elder brother of his father-in-law, and the two have grown up together as brothers. Even though Li Erxi has everything wrong, this blood relationship cannot be changed.
"Yeah, ever since I heard the news that Li Erxi's family of eight had been sold, Dad has been eating very little these past few days. Although he didn't say anything, I can see that he cares." Speaking of this , Li Xiaohu sighed lightly.
"If that's the case, then it's not impossible for us to redeem them!" After thinking about it, Chu Yang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Li Xiaohu was stunned. "Ruishan, then Li Xiaojiang and Li Sheng colluded. If we redeem him, what if they join forces to deal with us?"
Seeing his daughter-in-law's nervous appearance, Chu Yang was happy. "I've thought about it. Instead of being on guard against Li Sheng all the time, it's better to indulge him once, grab his seven inches, and make him never turn over. In this way, we don't have to be on guard against him every day."
Hearing what Chu Yang said, Li Xiaohu was stunned. "But, isn't this too risky?" Li Xiaohu understands what his lover thinks, but he thinks it's dangerous to do so.
"No way, if we don't catch him, we have to guard against him all the time. It's really difficult to keep guarding against him like this!" The male protagonist is in the dark, and they are in the light, although Zhang Xiaoshan is secretly passing the news However, what Zhang Xiaoshan knows must be limited, so they still have to be wary of each other day and night, and this day is very aggrieved.
"Then you want to redeem Li Xiaojiang, and then use Li Xiaojiang's line to determine Li Sheng's plan, and then catch him to deal with Li Sheng directly?" After thinking about it, Li Xiaohu asked.
"Yes, if Li Xiaojiang's chess piece can be used, Li Sheng will definitely start his plan impatiently." The hero has waited for so long and endured it for so long, so he will definitely look forward to the future plan.
"However, we didn't give Li Xiaojiang the money to repay the debt. This is equivalent to tearing apart the face with the second uncle's family. If we redeem them now, won't they doubt it? In case, Li Sheng has doubts about us , then it will be very difficult for us to lure the snake out of the hole!" After thinking about it, Li Xiaohu was still a little worried.
"Of course they can't be redeemed for nothing, you can add an additional condition!"
"What condition?" Blinking, Li Xiaohu asked curiously.
"Sever the relationship. With this in mind, Li Sheng will not doubt it. He will only think that we ransom them to get rid of the relationship with Li Erxi's family!" Chu Yang had already thought about this.
"This, father, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't agree!" After thinking about it, Li Xiaohu was worried that his father would not agree.
"You can tentatively ask your father for his opinion, I think he should agree. Because it will be a relief for him!" Father is bound by this family affection. In fact, from a certain point of view, This is also an invisible bondage.
"Okay, then I'll ask my father tomorrow and see what he says. If my father agrees, we can go and redeem them!" After thinking for a while, Li Xiaohu accepted Chu Yang's proposal.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you!" As he said, Chu Yang kissed his daughter-in-law on the lips, and slipped his hands directly into her clothes.
"Don't, don't come. I'm a little tired today!" Holding the man's hand, Li Xiaohu hurriedly begged for mercy.
Looking at the daughter-in-law who refused, Chu Yang was a little disappointed. "We haven't done it for five days. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"I, I..." Speaking of this, Li Xiaohu hesitated to speak.
"What's the matter?" Looking at his daughter-in-law who was hesitating, Chu Yang hurriedly grabbed his wife's wrist to feel her pulse.
"No, I didn't feel uncomfortable, but I heard those new servants chatting. I heard that people with good martial arts have special ears and can hear all kinds of sounds. I, I'm afraid..." said Seeing this, Li Xiaohu blushed.
Hearing this, Chu Yang froze for a moment, but then smiled. "So you're worried about this, then, I'll find a craftsman tomorrow to thicken the walls in our room, okay?"
"No, don't you need it?" Hearing what Chu Yang said, Li Xiaohu twitched the corner of his mouth.
"I have to, I can't let my wife's beautiful voice be heard by others!" As he said, Chu Yang kissed her on the lips.
"Well! Then, let's build a wall!" After thinking about it, Li Xiaohu voted for it!
———————————
The next day, Li Xiaohu told his father Li Sixi about the matter of Li Erxi's family. Originally, Li Xiaohu thought his father would not agree, but what Li Xiaohu didn't expect was that his father actually nodded and agreed, and strongly demanded to redeem them with his own money.
For the past four years, Li Xiaohu and Chu Yang would honor Li Sixi with some money every year during the New Year, festivals, or Li Sixi's birthday. Li Sixi was from a farmer and was used to hard times, so he was reluctant to spend the money his children gave him. After four years, he himself praised more than four hundred taels of silver. Originally, he planned to keep it as a dowry for his youngest son, but now that something happened, he decided to take out the money to redeem the second brother's family.
After Li Xiaohu got his father's consent, he told Chu Yang about it, and Chu Yang promised to take his father-in-law to Yazifang to redeem him tomorrow. Ma Liu of the door.
"Boss, are you looking for me?" When he came to Chu Yang, Ma Liu hurriedly greeted Chu Yang with a smile and nodded.
"I have a matter, and I want to find a safe person to handle it. You are the oldest among the six people, and you are also the safest!" As he said, Chu Yang looked Ma Liu up and down.
"Boss, you order, you order!" Nodding, Ma Liu said flatteringly.
"If you do this well, I will give you two taels of silver in addition to the salary I promised you every year!" Looking at Ma Liu, Chu Yang said again.
Hearing this, Ma Liu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help swallowing a big mouthful of saliva. "Boss, don't worry, no matter what it is, I will make it beautiful for you."
"Well, come here with your ears!" Beckoning to Ma Liu, Chu Yang leaned over and whispered a few words in the other's ear.
"Hey, I understand, I understand the boss, just look at it!" Nodding, Ma Liu immediately accepted the errand.
"Remember, be careful in everything, protect yourself, and don't mess things up!"
"Well, don't worry, I will be careful!" Nodding repeatedly, Ma Liu hastily responded.
"Okay, let's get ready, we will do it tomorrow morning!" Waving his hand, Chu Yang motioned for the other party to get ready.
"Hey, I got it!" Nodding, Ma Liu happily left.
