Chapter 251: Rebuked: Don't be hasty in getting married again
As soon as Li Yuanqing walked out of the gate, he happened to meet Village Chief Li who was about to go home.
"Yuan Qing, have you eaten?" Village Chief Li greeted Li Yuanqing cheerfully. He leaned closer to Li Yuanqing, lowered his voice and winked, "Have you coaxed your wife well? Yuan Qing, let me tell you, your wife is really a good person.
Woman, you missed Pan'er and you can't find such a good wife."
Li Yuanqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Uncle, don't worry, I've already coaxed you. I just have something to do with you. Come on, let's talk while walking."
Village Chief Li nodded with satisfaction. This nephew has always been smart, so there is no need for him to worry. "That's good. I just have something to tell you. Your parents followed another wave of villagers to the village last time, but what they did
, It’s too bad, our Li family can’t tolerate such vicious people, so I thought of expelling them from the Li family, but I can’t bear to let you, a good boy, go.”
"Therefore, we have reached an agreement with your father's side. Split the clan, divide your father's branch, and then you will stay in our Li clan. There is also a price, which is to give your father ten taels of silver every year, five in a row.
Year. Originally, I was going to pay for the money, but your wife refused and insisted on paying it herself. Although you are still related to your parents by blood, they are already divided in the clan. If they ask you for pension money,
If you have money, give me some. If you don’t have money, don’t give me anything. If I still want to oppress you like before, I will be the first to say no."
Hearing this, Li Yuanqing's eyes lit up, and he was very happy that he finally didn't have to face those two old elites.
Giving ten taels of silver a year can be regarded as repaying the gift of childbirth to the original person.
"Thank you uncle for helping me deal with it, otherwise I will continue to be tricked by them." Li Yuanqing sighed, with a bitter look on his face, "Since I was a child, I have always been better than my eldest brother and my second brother, but my parents never praised me. They always criticized me and squeezed me.
Now that I have grown up, I don’t expect them to change. It’s good to be separated now. I have Pan’er and four children, and I will have my own children in the future, so I feel relieved.”
After hearing this, Village Chief Li looked at Li Yuanqing with kind eyes and nodded, "Yuan Qing, if you think so, that's right. Don't have hope for your vicious parents. They are so inhuman.
You actually sold your second sister-in-law and niece to a brothel, which broke your conscience. They were willing to do it even though they were starving to death, just for the sake of good food."
"You stay away from them, and you can be more relaxed in the future. In the past few years, you have gone through life and death in the northwest, and it has not been easy for your wife. Along the way, your wife has tried her best to protect her four children. Her own mother may not be able to do so well. Your wife
He is alert and has led us out of danger several times. He is the benefactor of our entire village. We are able to settle down thanks to your wife's discovery of sweet potatoes..."
Sweet potato, potato?
It's very common in modern times, but it probably didn't exist in ancient times, right?
Seeing that Li Yuanqing was lost in thought, Village Chief Li patted him on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, treat your wife well. If you dare to bully your wife, your Aunt Cuihua will scratch you into a pig's head without me taking action."
Li Yuanqing smiled, nodded, and agreed happily, "Uncle, I know that I must be good to Pan'er. I am coming to the village chief now because I want to hold a new wedding with Pan'er. Although the divorce is fake, to the outside world
, I said everything is true. Now that I’m back, I can’t just live with Pan’er without knowing anything.”
"Also, when Pan'er and I got married, my family was too poor and we had money left to raise our children. I didn't dare to arrange the wedding, so I invited you and the village elders to have a meal. This time,
I want to hold a grand ceremony and invite everyone in our Jixiang Village to attend and witness our wedding."
Village Chief Li was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "Hey, you're good! If you do this, your wife will be happy. It's not like we don't have money now, so we should have a good one."
"I think so too, so I want to ask you and Aunt Cuihua to come over and help." Li Yuanqing said with a smile, "Let's buy chicken, fish, meat and eggs today, and the wedding will be held tomorrow."
When Village Chief Li heard this, his face darkened, and he retorted and scolded Li Yuanqing, "You kid is just messing around. Even if you get married again, you can't be hasty. When you and Pan'er got married, you just picked a date at random. This time, you will use your
The two people's birthdays and horoscopes coincide with each other. There is no need for betrothal gifts. Anyway, you are a family and have been together for a long time."
"But a wedding dress that looks good and fits well, don't you also want to prepare it for Pan'er? I remember you didn't prepare it for Pan'er at the beginning! Such a good girl, Pan'er, came with you from the northwest to the poor mountains and rivers of our hometown, and took care of her.
Housework. You adopted four children and walked away."
"Pan'er is a child who has not grown up at home, but she is willing to take care of your children at home. Children are sometimes disobedient, and your parents are messy. Pan'er has had a hard time these years. We only saw her in the past.
You're a bitch, but you didn't pay attention to her suffering. You can't ignore it, you have to make up for it."
Village Chief Li's touching words made Li Yuanqing feel sour inside.
It turns out that Li Yuanqing owed a lot to that Liu Pan'er, and he also owed Liu Pan'er. Since the wedding was held again, of course it had to be perfect.
"Uncle, I listen to you. Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise a rough guy like me would have done stupid things." Li Yuanqing showed gratitude on his face, and in his heart he thanked the village chief and his wife for taking care of Liu Pan'er and the children. "You first
Go back to have breakfast and come to my house later to discuss what to do and what to buy! I will go to other people’s houses to talk about it now.”
Village Chief Li nodded upon seeing this, "Go quickly, don't delay."
Li Yuanqing nodded and hurried to other homes to ask his elders and peers for help.
When Zhou Cuihua saw her husband come in and Li Yuanqing leave, she was full of curiosity and asked doubtfully: "Why did Yuan Qing leave? You guys have been chatting at the door for a long time, what is going on?"
Village Chief Li walked up to his wife and said in a low voice: "Although we know privately that the divorce is a lie, externally it is true. In addition, Yuan Qing felt that he and Pan'er did not have a proper banquet when they got married, so she felt that
I owe Pan'er a lot and want to organize a new wedding for Pan'er."
When Zhou Cuihua heard this, her eyes lit up, "Okay, great. Master, you eat first and I'll go there."
"Let's go together after dinner." Village Chief Li called from behind. His wife's fiery temper must have not changed.
Zhou Cuihua didn't even turn around, "No, I have to go quickly and be a matchmaker for them. If I go late, the matchmaking job will be taken away by others."
Zhou Cuihua beamed with joy and took Xiaopao to Liu Paner's house.
Liu Pan'er and Mrs. Liu were waiting for Li Yuanqing to come home for breakfast when they saw Zhou Cuihua running over, "Auntie, it's so early in the morning, why don't you get up to exercise and lose weight?"
Zhou Cuihua stood up and said angrily: "You young people have just had a few good days, and you are afraid of getting fat all day long. You are as thin as a hemp stalk. I am not like you, eating my own rice and growing fat with great effort based on my ability."
