Relatively speaking, Mrs. Liu made a quick decision. She was her only daughter, and she must save her.
It's just that Mrs. Liu has her own thoughts. She wants to bargain with Tang Lihua, and even wants to drag it on. Will the Wang family get more money.
The two of them started thinking, everyone was waiting for an answer, and the atmosphere became quiet for a while.
It's just that the Wang family can't stand anymore. It's okay to save people, but it depends on whether they are willing to use such a large sum of money to save people.
In fact, just now when Mrs. Wang said that she would pay ten taels of silver, some daughter-in-law of the Wang family would be dissatisfied, let alone this meeting.
Father Wang is the eldest, and there are two younger brothers under him. The second and third households of the Wang family will come to watch the fun, and regardless of the usual majesty of Mrs. Wang, they start to make trouble.
"Mother, don't be too partial, the grandpa's money is also our second and third bedroom!" The second wife was afraid that Mrs. Wang would agree, and in a hurry, no matter what the situation was, she yelled loudly and provoked Mrs. Wang. a stare.
The daughter-in-law of the second room is not afraid either. Nothing is more important than money. "Mother, if you give me money, then we will split up. We can't afford such a disaster."
Anger appeared on Mrs. Wang's face, and it was the first time a daughter-in-law dared to challenge her authority.
"Shut up for me, I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to make decisions, so get the hell out of here and go back to your mother's house."
Although the second and third bedrooms were still dissatisfied, they were still momentarily stunned by Mrs. Wang's words. If they were really driven back to their mother's house, they would be judged by others.
The old god Tang Lihua is there, just waiting for their answer, anyway, Tang Lihua likes both options very much.
Half a quarter of an hour passed, and still no one made a sound. Tang Lihua became a little impatient, "Since you are reluctant to part with the money, then don't waste your time. The village chief will do business soon. I have to go home and cook."
Just as the village chief was about to nod, Mrs. Liu hurriedly said, "Don't worry, old lady, I want to agree, but the money is too much, I really can't get it out, how about you..."
Tang Lihua interrupted her by raising her hand, "If you can't make it together, you can sell the land. Anyway, on my side, I can't make it if I lose a copper coin."
Mrs. Liu really didn't expect that there was such a way. She was reminded by Tang Lihua, and she couldn't be happier.
The Li family has fertile land and dry land, but they were all obtained by fighting for it back when they were divided. Now that it is cheaper for others, how can she be reconciled.
Not to mention Mrs. Wang, she has more scruples, she said with a dark face, "Let us discuss it."
Tang Lihua showed kindness and let the two of them go.
I don't know what the result of the two people's discussion was, anyway, when they came back, the faces of both of them were not good, especially Liu's.
"Do you think this will work? Let's draw a contract for you first, and the village head and the big guys will witness it, and we will give it to you when we have enough money." Mrs. Wang said.
"It's true that there is not so much cash, and it will take time to sell the land. Don't worry, there will be no shortage of money." Liu also followed suit.
Tang Lihua saw the careful thinking of the two of them at once, and smiled, "It's okay."
The two of them didn't expect Tang Lihua to pass it off so easily this time, with surprise on their faces, but Tang Lihua's next words made them froze.
"I'll give you three days to make up seventy taels. If you don't make up enough by the due date, you can directly pay the price of the land in your home." Tang Lihua gave the time limit.
Tang Lihua said again, "Village chief, folks, our Lin family is small, if the two of them renege on their debts, we will trouble you at that time."
"Don't worry, I, the village chief, can still make the decision." The village chief patted his chest and promised.
He was indeed right, unless the Wang family and the Li family didn't want to stay in Luoxia Village, they would have to pay all the money.
The reason why the village chief agreed so readily was because deep down in his heart he didn't want to really kill someone, and it's a good thing that it can be settled with money now.
And as the village head, he thought a lot. With such a large sum of money, the grandparents of the Lin family could live a good life, and Tangzi didn't have to get up early every day in the dark to set up traps on the mountain, and then go to the fields to work during the day.
Being able to marry a good family is better than sinking Li Qingyue and Wang Dazhuang into the river, and having an enmity with the Li family and the Wang family, and this is a deadly enmity.
There are only two grandparents and grandchildren in the Lin family, and there are many Wang and Li families. No matter what, it is the Lin family that suffers.
In particular, Mrs. Liu only had a biological daughter like Li Qingyue. If she really died like this, the village chief himself was not afraid, but Mrs. Liu was afraid that Mrs. Lin would suffer if she went crazy.
Tang Lihua didn't know that the village chief had thought so much about the Lin family. Anyway, she kept the two of them just to watch them torture each other.
When Lin Zi has this rebirth and can walk, then the family of three will be so lively.
The matter was settled like this, and the three families signed the contract on the spot. Tang Lihua took a look, and the Wang family only took thirty taels, and the Liu family had to sell the rest.
Liu's chest was tight and short of breath, she really wanted to cry, this time she was really going to sell the land, and she finally earned it back, so it was gone.
At this moment, she wished that Li Qingyue, who was careless, would be beaten severely, and she also blamed her daughter in her heart.
If it weren't for the forty taels of silver she was going to leave before, she wouldn't be in such a situation now.
I can't think about it, if I think about it, Liu is afraid that she will vomit blood from the pain.
The Liu family not only blamed her daughter, but also blamed the Wang family for Tang Lihua.
Feeling depressed, seeing Li Laosan holding the child beside him, Mrs. Liu snatched it up and stuffed it into Mrs. Wang's arms, "Since this is your great-grandson, of course it should be taken care of by the Wang family."
Of course, Mrs. Wang would not wait to see this great-grandson who appeared suddenly, but she couldn't just throw it away under the watchful eyes of everyone, so she had to catch it with a stiff smile.
Turning around, he gave the eldest daughter-in-law a hard look, and scolded in a low voice, "You don't want to wink, don't hurry up."
Wang Dazhuang's mother hurried up to take Lin Ziyou over. Lin Ziyou was not her first grandson, so she couldn't care less about it. Now, like Mrs. Liu, she felt sorry for the money her family was about to give away.
Mrs. Wang and the Wang family would never have imagined that besides the thirty taels, Wang Dazhuang still owed the gambling house forty taels.
"Village chief, this matter is over, can we let them go first?" Mrs. Wang turned around and asked.
Mrs. Liu also nodded at the side.
Tang Lihua put away the two contracts, and rushed to speak out before the village chief, "This death penalty is inevitable, but the living penalty cannot be escaped."
What does she mean
A bad premonition emerged in the hearts of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu at the same time.
"I'm also an elder, and I know that you love the younger generation and don't force their lives, but if you make this mistake, you will definitely be punished."
"What?! We've already given you money, don't go too far!" Mrs. Liu couldn't help it.
Tang Lihua didn't care about her, and continued, "It's because of the money you gave, the two of them were not punished, and they won't have a long memory."
"Besides, they are corrupting the atmosphere of the village, so they have to be punished no matter what, let everyone see it, and no one will dare in the future."
The village chief nodded after listening to it, and felt that what Tang Lihua said made sense.
The most important thing is for others to realize how much they have to pay for making such a mistake.
"The two of them went to the ancestral ancestral hall and knelt down. They knelt for seven days before they could come out. During this period, no one was allowed to visit." The village head directly made a decision.
It doesn't sound like a heavy punishment. Although Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu are still dark-faced, they are more or less acceptable.
"Village chief, let them have a taste of sinking in the river first, and learn a lesson." Tang Lihua suggested, "Of course it's not really drowning, just let them remember what the consequences will be if there is another time, after all These two are not the masters of peace."
When Li Qingyue was still a girl, she hooked up with Wang Dazhuang, and after she got married, she didn't realize it.
This is especially true for Wang Dazhuang, and he is also a well-known second-rater in the village.
The village chief hesitated, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that neither Li Qingyue nor Wang Dazhuang could do such a thing.
So, under Tang Lihua's lobbying, the village chief felt it was necessary to let the two try sinking the river.
The development of things is unexpected by everyone, and it changes again and again.
Under the order of the village chief, each of four people lifted Li Qingyue and Wang Dazhuang respectively and put them into wooden cages.
Li Qingyue and Wang Dazhuang were sunk into the lake. They struggled violently and choked several times. The suffocation caused Li Qingyue's nose and tears to flow out together.
When she felt that she was going to die, she was finally pulled up, and the two of them were drenched and coughing in embarrassment.
All the big fellows looked at them and warned themselves secretly that they must never do such a thing. Seeking a momentary pleasure will not only make people suffer, but also ruin their fortunes, which is really not worth it.
After Tang Lihua watched them sink the river, she took her grandson back to the Lin family.
She did have to cook, and she was still hungry.
Just entering the courtyard of the Lin family, Tang Lihua smelled the aroma of food, and her face showed helplessness.
Tang Lihua walked into the kitchen, "Xiaohe, when did you come?"
Li Qinghe was busy serving the meal, and when he heard the voice, he turned his head and showed a big smile, "It didn't take long, I heard you said you were hungry, so I came over to make a fire."
Tang Lihua gave her a helping hand, and after a while, the simple meal was served on the table.
Li Qinghe also sat down to eat together. Anyway, the Li family was very lively, and no one noticed whether she was there or not.
They didn't have the rule of keeping their mouths shut. During the meal, Li Qinghe told Tang Lihua the forty taels of silver he had picked up.
Tang Lihua was surprised, even Lin Zhengtang, who was eating in silence, looked at Li Qinghe.
Li Qinghe was a little embarrassed, "I was lucky, I just wanted to take a look, but I didn't expect to pick it up."
After speaking, Li Qinghe took out the purse from his pocket and put it on the table.
She brought it back to Li's house specially, and Li Qinghe thought it would be safe to leave it in Lin's house.
Tang Lihua smiled, sincerely, this Wang Dazhuang is going to be in trouble.
Although I don't know why Wang Dazhuang threatened Li Qingyue to ask for the money, but now that Qinghe has picked up the money, Wang Dazhuang urgently needs the money, how will he make up the hole at that time.
Tang Lihua instinctively felt that there would be excitement to watch again in a few days.
"The money you picked up is yours. I'll keep it for you first, and I'll give it to you when you need it." Tang Lihua said directly.
Li Qinghe also meant the same thing. There was no one in this world who could reassure her more than Grandma Tang.
During the period, they chatted about other topics casually, because Lin Zhengtang was here, so they didn't mention business. They were happy and harmonious. Compared with Lin Zhengtang, Tang Lihua and Li Qinghe were more like grandparents.
After finishing the meal, Li Qinghe took the initiative to clean up the dishes.
When the three sat together again, Lin Zhengtang finally spoke the first sentence.
"Grandma, I want to go to the military camp."
