[Chapter 2096 Tie Kui Fanwai (20)]
It’s been half a year since I was engaged in the development, and both Father Li and his wife have always thought it was an accident. Didn’t expect the truth to be so unbearable.
Li Gui cried and said, “I was too scared at the time, thinking that Uncle Tiehu is an old hunter who must have a way to kill wild boars.”
Tie Kui didn’t bother to argue with Li Gui at all, what he was afraid of was just an excuse for selfishness. Tie Kui said with a blank face: “My father’s leg has cost 800 taels of silver so far. I won’t make it difficult for you, you only need to bear half of it.”
Half, that’s also four hundred taels of silver. Smashing pots and selling iron, the Li family couldn’t gather so much.
Li Gui’s daughter-in-law shouted as soon as she heard it: “You guys are completely cheating money, it’s just a leg treatment, how can you spend so much money.”
Not to mention Chunxiang and Chunni, even Tiehu’s face sank. Using his legs to defraud money, it is also a loss for Mr. Tie.
Father Li gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t worry, big brother, I’ll sell the house and land to raise money when I go back. If it’s not enough, we’ll make a loan first and then pay it back slowly.”
Li Gui was in a hurry, and immediately said, “Dad, don’t listen to their rumors. For eight hundred taels of silver, they can’t even get them to sell iron. Dad, A Cui is right, they just want to defraud our family of money.”
Tie Kui laughed, his smile full of sarcasm: “Dad, I’m right! Li Gui put you at risk and almost paralyzed you, but he doesn’t feel any guilt.”
Hearing this, Chun Ni asked in confusion, “Kuizi, what are you talking about?”
Tie Kui said: “Dad said that Li Gui did that because he was too scared at the time, and he didn’t want to pursue the matter. But I think he did it on purpose, and deliberately led the wild boar to Daddy. If Daddy killed the wild boar, he It can be divided into half, and it would be just an accident if my father was killed by a wild boar. But my father did not believe what I said, and said that I thought too bad about Li Gui.” The result confirmed that his speculation was correct.
When Father Li and Aunt Li heard this, their faces turned green.
Chun Ni asked cautiously, “Isn’t that eight hundred taels of silver real?”
“It’s true…”
Before Tie Kui could finish speaking, Tie Xiaocui screamed, “Impossible, how could your family come out with 800 taels of silver? Let me tell you, there is no way to cheat money.”
Tiehu said to Father Li and Aunt Li: “Kuizi and I hunted a leopard and a white tiger two years ago. The tiger skin, leopard skin, tiger cream and leopard cream sold a total of 880 taels in Shengjing. Silver. I originally planned to use this money for Kui Zi to study and marry.”
Chunxiang and Chunni looked at each other when they heard this. They know about the leopard, but they really don’t know about the white tiger. But when I thought about such an important matter, I was relieved to say that leaking words would attract people’s covetousness.
No wonder the father and son went to Shengjing that year to sell tiger and leopard skins.
Tie Xiaocui stubbornly said, “Who knows if what you said is true…”
Before she finished speaking, Aunt Li slapped her with a big ear and said, “Why did I marry your son to such a mortal star?” Her son’s temperament is still unclear. Although he is not very smart, he is obedient and obedient. After getting married But it seems like a person has changed, this is completely instigated by Tie Xiaocui.
Father Li still said that, and went back to smash the pot and sell iron to collect money. If there are not enough IOUs, I will pay them back slowly in the future.
Tie Hu shook his head and said, “Brother Li, don’t take what Kuizi said seriously.”
The four members of the Li family returned soon.
Tie Hu looked at Tie Kui and said, “Kuizi, what you said just now was too aggressive. No matter what, your Uncle Li is good to us.”
Tie Kui said with a gloomy face: “If it wasn’t for the uncle, I would have to pay him for the money. If not, I would make him unable to stay in Tiejia Village.”
If it were an accident, no matter how much money Tiekui spent, there would be nothing to say. But Tiehu almost lost his life, which was entirely caused by Li Gui. It’s no different from murder.
Tiehu shook his head and said, “Kuizi, I believe Agui was really afraid at the time, not intentional.”
Tie Kui didn’t answer this, but asked Chun Ni, “Second sister, do you believe what Li Gui said?”
“I don’t believe it. He never went to the mountains to hunt, but he came to my house and said he wanted to hunt with my father.” Knowing this that day, Jiang Chunni was very angry. After that incident, she didn’t go to Li’s house very much. After the Tiehu accident, the sisters never stepped into the Li family again.
Chunni said to Tie Hu, “Father, although uncle and aunt are good people, Li Gui is their only son. Uncle and aunt can’t beat Li Gui and Tie Xiaocui.”
Tie Kui answered and said, “Uncle said to sell the house and sell the land. Dad, the Li family won’t send you a penny.”
The next day, Tiehu heard that Father Li was ill. It’s not pretending to be sick, it’s really sick, it’s qi sickness.
Not to mention selling the land, selling the house, even the family’s savings, Li Gui and his wife, were not allowed by Father Li to give it to the Tie family.
This was expected by Tie Kui, so he was not disappointed.
The two went to the village chief’s house with gifts. During the time when the father and son were away, it was thanks to the village chief’s family that they took photos of the Buddha.
Seeing them bringing something, Mrs Tong said, “You must take it back. Otherwise, not only your grandfather, but also I will be angry.” want their stuff.
Tie Hu said with a smile: “This is the pipe that Kui Zi bought for Grandpa Jiu. I don’t smoke either. If you don’t keep it, you’ll have ashes in your house.”
Tie Kui said: “Master, many things in Shengjing are cheaper than here. The pipe I bought is only one hundred and twenty cents.”
To a farmer, one hundred and twenty pennies is not an uncle. But as soon as he saw the simple copper-colored pipe inside, the village chief fell in love: “I’m very happy that you miss me, the old man. But we have to give this money.” Tiger family stuff.
Tie Kui said with a smile: “Master, I specially honored you with this pipe.”
Tie Hu inserted a sentence: “Grandpa Jiu, Kui Zi is very capable and earns more than 30 taels of silver for half a year of copying books for the bookstore. He earns all the expenses for eating in Shengjing.”
“real?”
Tie Hu said with a smile: “Ninth grandpa, when did I lie to you? The shopkeeper said that Kui Zi’s handwriting was good, and the price he gave was high.”
The village chief didn’t believe it, and asked Da Shuan to take out his eldest grandson’s pen and ink. When he saw Tie Kui’s words ‘establishing meritorious service’, he believed it.
After accepting the pipe, the village chief said, “Since Kui Zi honored me, I accepted it. But it’s only this time, it won’t be an example. Otherwise, you are not allowed to enter my house again.”
After talking for a long time at the village chief’s house, the father and son went back. Still Tie Kui supported Tie Hu and walked back slowly.
Holding the pipe, the village chief said, “Tiger son can enjoy future blessings.” With such a capable and filial son, he is worried that he will not have a good life in the future.
Looking at the writing on the table, Mrs. Tong said, “It’s a pity that this kid is so smart.” If he could keep studying, he might be able to become a jinshi and become an official. Now, he is dragged out of school by his family.
The village chief sighed and said nothing.
In the evening of that day, Dashuan’s daughter-in-law returned home angrily. Seeing this, Er Shuan’s daughter-in-law asked, “Sister-in-law, what’s wrong? Who made you so angry?”
Dashuan’s daughter-in-law said, “Tie Xiaocui, this dead girl, has completely disgraced our family.”
This happened to be heard by Mr. Tong who was walking out of the door. He frowned and said, “You elder, what do you care about with a junior.” Tie Xiaocui is not the granddaughter of Mr. Tong’s direct relative, but the fourth brother of the village chief who has passed away. granddaughter.
The village chief’s mother gave birth to seven sons, two of whom died, and the five surviving sons, the second, the fourth, and the seventh, were all given away.
The village chief’s fourth brother had an only son, but he died early, leaving Xiaocui with a daughter. When Xiao Cui was eight years old, the old man also fell ill. He was worried about his relatives and entrusted Xiao Cui to the village chief before he died.
Xiaocui arrived at the village chief’s house and was recorded in the name of Dashuan and his wife. But Dashuan’s daughter-in-law didn’t like Xiaocui, who had to be strong and thoughtful. Later, she fell in love with Li Gui herself, and the village chief and Tong Shi saw that the Li family was good, so they asked someone to tell her and marry her into the Li family. Even though Dashuan and Ershuan’s daughter-in-law didn’t like Tie Xiaocui, because of this relationship, the Li family quickly gained a firm foothold in Tiejia Village.
Dashuan’s daughter-in-law repeated what Chunni had told her, and then said: “Huzi saved her man’s life, she would just say that she had no money to pay, but she even shouted that Huzi’s family fabricated lies and cheated money. Mother. , did you see what she said about this?” Fortunately, this is not his own daughter, or she will be slapped to death.
When she went to bed at night, Mrs. Tong told Mr. Jiu about this: “Xiao Cui is not good at thinking about herself, but it has harmed the child of the Li family.”
When Xiaocui came to the village chief’s house, she had a sum of money in her hand, and the amount was not small. The money was tightly covered by her.
Tong Shi didn’t even think about asking her for the money, but when she asked Tie Xiaocui to take out the money when buying the dowry, she also bit her to death and said she had no money. As a result, they forced their family to buy him a decent dowry. The whole family was very angry about this.
“What is harmful or not, if he has a righteous heart, he will not be affected.” After all, Li Gui’s own mentality is not right, who can blame him.
Tong Shi deliberately said this to Master Jiu because she had a purpose: “Huzi saved his man’s life, and she was not grateful at all and said she was cheating money. Old man, you have done enough for her, and in the future Whatever happens to her, leave it alone.”
“It’s all other people’s daughters-in-law, what else do I care.” I thought I was just young and ignorant, but now I find that this child is completely heartless. In the future, it will be good or bad to see her own luck.
Hearing this, Tong Shi immediately felt relieved.
On the third day that Tiehu and his son returned home, Chunni told them that the Shao family had retired.
Thinking that Tie Kui opposed the marriage that day, saying that the Shao family was unreliable. But he felt that the conditions of the Shao family were very good, so he insisted on it. In the end, it hurt the eldest daughter: “Xiang’er, don’t be sad, Dad will find you a better one.”
Whenever she talks about this matter, Chunxiang tears can’t help falling: “Father, I don’t want to get married.”
Tie Kui looked at Chunxiang’s disheartened appearance, and asked, “Shouli don’t know about the withdrawal of relatives, right?”
Chunni snorted and said, “The withdrawal was hidden from him. After quitting, he came a few times, but I beat him out.” After quitting, don’t bother again.
Tie Kui nodded and changed the subject: “The Shao family’s 10 taels of silver has been returned, so the carpenter’s wages have not been given?”
“I gave Uncle Xu the money, and he confiscated it. He also said that he could use the wood left over from our house to cover his wages.”
There are twelve pieces of wood left in their house, which together are worth four or five taels of silver. Uncle Xu is a carpenter, how could he not know this. It’s just that the Tie family is in difficulty now, and they are not prepared to ask for this salary.
Tie Hu said: “Kuizi, tomorrow you will send the wages to the Xu family.” The love has been received, but it cannot be lost to others.
Chun Ni hesitated and asked, “Dad, how much money do we have?”
Tie Kui said with a smile, “Second sister, you don’t have to worry about money, it’s me!” They came back from Shengjing and took the car of Yongsheng Trading Company, which saved the carriage fee. Also, the road is safe. Speaking of which, the shopkeeper Bai was considered his nobleman.
Chun Ni said, “Adi, you can’t handle everything alone. If you have something to tell us, we’ll find a solution together.”
It has been ten days since Shao Lihe heard the news that Tiehu and his son had returned.
After taking leave from the shopkeeper, Shao Lili hurried to Tiejia Village. Afraid of being kicked out by Chun Ni, Shao Li called a villager to call Tie Kui out, and he waited at the entrance of the village.
Tie Kui drove a few stakes in the yard, and tied long poles to the stakes. In this way, Tiehu can walk slowly while holding the pole by himself.
Hearing that Shao Lili came, Tie Kui put down what he was doing and went out.
Iron Tiger sighed. Kuizi said that Shao Lili was reliable, and hoped that this time Kuizi did not miss out. Otherwise, looking at Chunxiang’s haggard appearance, he would also be heartbroken.
Shao Lili’s first sentence when he saw Tie Kui: “Brother Kui, I really don’t know about the divorce. I had a big fight with my mother about this.”
“Then what?”
Shao Lili said: “Kuidi, my mother is not being kind, but I really want to marry Ah Xiang.”
If it wasn’t for the fact that Shao Lili really likes Chunxiang and has his own opinions, he won’t come out: “Is it true that I have to see your actions, not talk about it.”
Shao Lili was ecstatic: “Kuidi, so you are willing to give me another chance?”
“Let me see your sincerity first, and then talk about other things.” Although Chunxiang tried her best to show that she didn’t care, they all knew that she had Shao Lili in her heart. Otherwise, I wouldn’t cry when I heard the name of Shao Lili. Therefore, Tie Kui is willing to give him another chance.
Shao Lili knew in his heart that if he wanted to marry Chunxiang, he would have to separate. If Chunxiang and her mother were not allowed to live under the same roof, Tie Kui might agree to marry Chunxiang to him.
Shao Lili is not a filial person, and what Shao’s mother did made him feel chills. But splitting up the family is not so easy: “Kuidi, give me a few months.”
“Don’t worry, my family won’t marry my eldest sister within this year.” Given Chunxiang’s current state, it is not suitable for her to be engaged now. She has to calm down and talk about marriage. Of course, it would be great if Shao Li could solve the Shao family’s affairs.
