Chapter 225 Evenly matched
After all this time, they found out that the reason someone gave them money was because of Li Xiaoxiao.
Wait, what does it say next? Let them ruin Li Xiaoxiao's reputation and get more money?
Li Dajiang and Li Laosi looked at each other, staring at each other. Why did it feel so unreal?
"Are you telling the truth and not lying to us?" Li Dajiang asked doubtfully.
"Of course it's true. I have no reason to lie to you." The man with a mustache took out a hundred taels of silver from his pocket and placed it in front of Li Dajiang.
Looking at the silver bills in front of him, Li Dajiang suddenly became excited. He felt that he had not seen silver bills for a long time.
"What do you want us to do?" Li Laosi's eyes lit up as he looked at the banknotes, his joy beyond words.
The man with a mustache couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw the expressions of the two men. They were indeed from the countryside. They got so excited over such a small amount of money.
He didn't say anything, but reached into his arms again and after a moment took out a bunch of keys.
"Not only the banknotes, but also the house has been found for you. As for what to do, it's up to you."
The temptation of money and house made the two of them agree without thinking. They were willing to do anything to stay in the capital.
If you stay in Qinghe Village, you will always be a peasant. How can you compare with the capital?
Because the man with the mustache asked their entire family to move in, when they saw that the place they lived in was such a big yard, the two returned to Qinghe Village that same day.
Now that they had money, they naturally did things differently from when they came. They bought clean cotton clothes, rented a carriage, and rode back at full speed.
Five days later, the two returned to Qinghe Village, with the sound of horse hooves tapping on the ground. Because there were many people in the family, they rented a carriage from Jiunu County.
Many villagers saw that Li Lao Da and Li Lao Si came back in a horse-drawn carriage with another one following behind them, so they guessed that it was Li Dahai who sent someone to pick them up to enjoy a good life in the capital.
As soon as we got home, we started packing up. Everyone had a smile on their face. It had been a long time since there was such a happy event in our family.
"Dahai is a filial son. He will bring your whole family to the capital."
"Your Li family is lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law."
"Who said she wasn't? When Sun first came, I said she didn't look like an ordinary farm girl. She was so fair and tender when she was first bought."
"I remember that little girl, she was really outstanding."
The villagers nearby couldn't help but talk about it when they saw the family packing up their things.
There are those who are envious and those who are jealous. Although the Li family has done many bad things, it has to be said that they are really lucky.
The eldest brother became a county magistrate, although he didn’t hold the position for long, but after all, he once had a glorious time. Now his family has moved to the capital, and I’m afraid he will never come back, right?
Listening to the villagers' discussions, it was clear that Li Xiaoxiao did not ask them to go, so how could she be given such a high honor?
Jiang was immediately unhappy: "It wasn't the second brother who asked us to go, it was the fourth brother who found a good job in the capital, so he came to pick us up and go to the capital together."
"This job was not found by Li Laosi alone. Our Dajiang also got a share." Liu rolled her eyes at her in dissatisfaction. She couldn't just start scolding her in front of so many people.
"If the fourth brother didn't ask the eldest brother to go to the capital together, the eldest brother would have gotten this good thing. Don't flatter yourself." Jiang put her hands on her hips, looking unconvinced.
"Then are you sure that without our Dajiang, Li Laosi can accomplish it alone?" Liu retorted bluntly.
"Li Dajiang is a county magistrate who was dismissed for corruption. What is there to be proud of? I don't know who scared him so much that he almost peed his pants. It's embarrassing to think about it." Jiang was extremely sarcastic. Everyone in the family was hypocritical.
"Bah! How dare you, you shameless Jiang, say that? I'll tear your stinky mouth to pieces." Liu was so angry that she didn't care about the presence of outsiders and started to wrestle with Jiang.
The fighting power of the two men could be said to be evenly matched, and it was difficult to tell who would win for a while. The Li family seemed to be used to it, and they were all busy with their own things, and no one stepped forward to stop the fight. Seeing this scene, the villagers who wanted to stop the fight hesitated. If their own family members didn't care, should they stop the fight?
Before they could figure it out, the two of them had separated automatically. Their hair was disheveled and their clothes were messy, but the strange thing was that there was not a single scratch on their faces.
It turned out that the two of them had discussed it beforehand: they could fight but they couldn't scratch each other's faces. Loving beauty is a woman's nature. Both of them agreed and always kept this in mind every time they fought.
After the fight, they started to pack up their things. Actually, there was nothing much to pack up. They were just some tattered clothes. There were several able-bodied laborers in their family, but none of them went out to work, and their expenses had long been in deficit.
Otherwise, Li Laosi and Li Laoda would not have been able to travel all the way to the capital. However, they did not expect that there was always a light at the end of the tunnel. Because of Xiaoxiao, the family could live a good life again.
One hundred taels is an astronomical figure for their current family.
Since old lady Li was paralyzed in bed and the journey was long, several people discussed leaving her at home.
When Mrs. Li in the room heard this, she was so scared that she shouted, "Old man, don't leave me, don't leave me."
Old man Li, who was sitting in the main room, sighed impatiently and looked disgusted.
Old Mrs. Li was lying on the bed, so anxious that tears were about to fall. Her whole family had left, leaving her here alone, and the weather was so cold, she was bound to die.
She struggled to turn over, using all her strength. She knew that if she didn't seize the opportunity, the men in the main room would really dare to abandon her.
With a bang, Old Mrs. Li fell heavily off the kang. She ignored the pain and crawled towards the door with great effort.
Several people in the main room heard the noise, but no one came to see what was happening. It took a while for Old Lady Li to crawl to the door of the main room.
He was wearing thin clothes and smelled bad. If you looked closely, you could see yellow stains on his pants. Everyone present showed an expression of disgust.
"Old man, if you leave me behind, I will starve to death. Please don't leave me behind." Old Mrs. Li's voice was trembling and pleading in her tone. She was lying on the ground, her whole body cold.
