The old village chief and Li Yuanjing drank for a while, and finally felt better. At this time, Mu Ran was disturbed by the noise outside, and the old face couldn't help but become gloomy.
After greeting Li Yuanjing, he quickly went out.
After the old village chief left, Li Yuanjing naturally refused to sit still. He winked at Lianhua and hurried after the old village chief.
This way.
Lianhua's pretty face suddenly turned red.
She was very smart and naturally understood what Li Yuanjing meant.
——While the old village chief is away at this moment, let her quickly pick a piece of meat on the table to eat.
Can……
How could she, a daughter, do such a thing...
However, Lianhua did not do this. Lu Gang next to him was like a hungry ghost reincarnated. Seeing that there was no one around, he immediately stepped forward to grab meat and eat it. In the blink of an eye, his mouth was full of oil.
"Snapped!"
But just when Lu Gang was about to grab a piece of rabbit leg meat, Lianhua stepped forward quickly, slapped Lu Gang's hand, and shouted in a low voice:
"This piece is mine!"
As he said that, he quickly picked up the piece of meat and stuffed it directly into his little mouth.
However……
Then her little face immediately turned red...
because……
This piece of meat was exactly what Li Yuanjing left for her just now...
…
"Village Chief, Hou Wu, that damned guy..."
"He stole all the autumn tax money from my family this morning, and said he would sell the slave to pay the tax... How can a slave like an orphan and a widower survive..."
At this time, it was in front of the old village chief’s house.
A young woman with shabby clothes, messy hair, but a pretty face was leading a poor little girl of two or three years old, who was kneeling on the ground crying to the old village chief.
It was Hou Wu's mother-in-law, whose maiden name was Xiugu.
Talk about it.
Hou Wu and Li Yuanjing are of the same age, and their experiences are actually similar.
His parents were also craftsmen, and they managed to help Hou Wu marry a wife and have a baby by selling iron, but they died of illness due to overwork.
However.
It's fine that Hou Wu didn't learn the craftsmanship of his parents, but he still learned from others to mix in society...
In this situation, it is obvious that the Hou Wu family is hopeless.
"Why."
"Xiugu, you go back first. That bastard Hou Wu, if he dares to come back, you come to me! I will make the decision for you! He doesn't know how to cherish such a good wife, I will definitely interrupt him
Dog legs!!”
When the old village chief saw the poor Xiu Gu, most of his anger dissipated. He sighed deeply and could only persuade Xiu Gu like this first.
What Xiugu wanted was what the old village chief said, so she quickly kowtowed to the old village chief and thanked him profusely.
beside.
Li Yuanjing naturally doesn't talk much.
It was true that he sympathized with Xiu Gu, but because of this, he would never be half-hearted towards a hopeless gangster like Hou Wu!
…
The meal lasted until noon, and after the guests and hosts had enjoyed themselves, Li Yuanjing went home.
During this meal, Li Yuanjing also asked the old village chief for advice on various issues, and he became more confident about his future development.
"ah."
"Brother, why did you drink so much today?"
When Mu Ran saw that his brother came back so drunk, Yu Niang was dumbfounded. She hurriedly came over and helped Li Yuanjing lie down on the earthen bed, and just served him.
Li Yuanjing was in a comfortable mood, and naturally he was happy to enjoy Yu Niang's service.
For a while.
After being served by Yu Niang and drinking a bowl of warm water, he felt much better. Li Yuanjing slowly took out a piece of silver worth about twenty taels, snapped his fingers and said with a smile:
"Come on, girl, smile for me, and I'll give you these as a reward."
"ah!"
Yu Niang was completely shocked, her beautiful eyes almost widened to the limit, and she said in an incredible trembling voice:
"Brother, where did this money come from?"
Seeing that the good little flirtation was about to turn into a job like Yu Niang, Li Yuanjing was a little helpless, but he was not willing to tease this girl anymore.
He pulled Yu Niang into his arms, kissed her hard on the face, and told her everything.
But don't want to.
Yu Niang, who was already confused, became even more confused. She looked at Li Yuanjing in disbelief and said:
"Brother, you, you mean, you, you drank too much at the old village chief's house..."
In this girl's heart, a clan leader of the old village chief's level is already like the stars in the sky, elusive.
"Look at your worthless little thing."
Li Yuanjing lovingly patted Yu Niang’s erection and said:
"Aren't you just the village chief? What does this mean? Yuniang, when my brother becomes rich in the future, he will definitely go to the emperor to earn a job for you! When the time comes, anyone who sees you will have to respectfully call you madam."
"elder brother……"
Yuniang couldn't stand Li Yuanjing's teasing. She was so moved that she threw herself into Li Yuanjing's arms and started sobbing softly.
After being intimate with his wife for a while, Li Yuanjing's expression turned serious and he said:
"Yu Niang, please pack up and follow me to do something."
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Yuniang was smart and hurriedly went to clean up.
Li Yuanjing smiled and said:
"Don't be nervous. Well, the autumn tax will be collected tomorrow. Let's go to Aunt Zhang's house and have a look. I will also advance Brother Zhang some wages in advance."
Only then did Yu Niang relax a little, and couldn't help but look at Li Yuanjing gratefully. After hesitating for a while, she finally gathered the courage and took the initiative to kiss Li Yuanjing on the cheek:
"Brother, thank you, thank you..."
"Ai?"
Li Yuanjing was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. He quickly pulled Yu Niang into his arms and said with a smile:
"Girl, we are a family, why do we say thank you? Okay, hurry up and clean up. You are my wife, Li Yuanjing, and you can't be looked down upon."
Upon hearing Li Yuanjing's words, Yu Niang didn't have time to be shy and hurriedly packed it up.
…
When Li Yuanjing and Yu Niang arrived at Zhang's house, it was already evening, the sky was already dark, but the north wind was raging fiercely.
Look at this, it's going to snow again tonight.
Aunt Zhang was making a pot of vegetable soup at this time. The difference from the previous one was that there were two small fish in this pot of soup, which made the soup much more delicious.
"ah."
"Yuan Jing, Yu Niang, why are you here?"
Only then did Aunt Zhang see Li Yuanjing and Yu Niang, and she quickly stood up and greeted them with a smile.
Naturally, she understood deeply that without Li Yuanjing and Yu Niang, their family would probably be ruined right now.
Li Yuanjing smiled and said:
"Aunt Zhang, I came here to see Brother Zhang and take a look at Brother Zhang. By the way, Yuniang, you talk to Aunt Zhang. I'll go inside and take a look."
"Hey, good to come."
Li Yuanjing had already told Yu Niang the purpose of their coming here before, so Yu Niang naturally knew what was going on and was busy chatting with Aunt Zhang with a smile.
As soon as Li Yuanjing entered the house, Zhang Kun, who had just gone to the backyard to carry firewood, rushed over and hurriedly saluted Li Yuanjing respectfully:
"Master, why are you here?"
Li Yuanjing smiled and patted Zhang Kun on the shoulder and said:
"Let's go see Brother Zhang first."
Zhang Kun didn't say much and quickly led Li Yuanjing to Zhang Liang's side in the back room.
At this time, although Zhang Liang's physical condition was better, he was like a living dead, without any energy.
Even if Li Yuanjing came over, he didn't react at all. He turned over with difficulty and turned inside without looking at Li Yuanjing.
"Boss, the second son has been this tempered since his accident. Don't be like him..."
Zhang Kung just wanted to explain, but Li Yuanjing smiled and waved his hand:
"Brother Zhang, I know that our family members don't speak the same language. By the way, we have to pay the autumn tax tomorrow. You can take this money and it will be regarded as the wages I paid you in advance."
While talking, Li Yuanjing took out about one tael of silver and handed it to Zhang Kun.
Zhang Kun took the money tremblingly, surprised and happy. He was worried about where to borrow money and pay tomorrow's autumn taxes first.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuanjing actually came to the rescue...
But Zhang Kun naturally knew about Li Yuanjing's current situation. Even though he was reluctant to give up, he still pushed the money back and refused.
Before Zhang Kun could speak, Li Yuanjing said first:
"Brother Zhang, take what I give you."
"I'm not pretending to be fat. You went to Dagou Village with me today. To be honest, I borrowed money from Mr. Wang. Let's get over the current difficulty first, and then talk about other things!"
"thump!"
Zhang Kun knelt down directly in front of Li Yuanjing, really bursting into tears:
"My boss, I..."
He wanted to say something, but he couldn't express it at the moment.
Even Zhang Liang, who was sitting on the kang, was shocked by this scene and turned around to look at Li Yuanjing in disbelief.
Li Yuanjing did not help Zhang Kun, and his expression became solemn.
He took out a sharp wooden stick about a foot long from his waist, placed it in front of Zhang Kun and said:
"Brother Zhang, you are my long-time employee, and I won't hide some things from you. The reason why I was able to borrow money from Mr. Wang this time was because of my requirements. I need your help."
"Did you see this thing?"
"I want a hundred identical ones. You have to help me make them within three days."
Zhang Kun was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. He kowtowed to Li Yuanjing hurriedly and said:
"My boss, it won't take three days, but at most two days, I will definitely help you get things done!" This chapter has been completed!
