There are bandits next to the farmhouse

Chapter 17 Getting the Silver
"Who did it? Are you not human?"

"I...? This, so much!" Although Li Erkui was not beaten, he broke into a cold sweat when he thought of the farm work in that area.

"And you, Mrs. Xu, tomorrow you will go to the field to take care of the big dragon. I still don't believe it. This family can't survive without you." The old lady of the Li family ordered.

"Ah? Mother, who will do the housework?" Mrs. Xu still wanted to stay and take care of Li Dalong.

The old lady of the Li family said angrily: "What's the job at home? Why don't you just cook a meal. Everyone will be hungry tomorrow, and no one will cook."

The family is so angry that their teeth itch and don't eat?Who doesn't eat for a day's work, and how can they get the strength to work without eating?

Tonight, when they came back, they had nothing to eat, so they didn't eat, and they were all screaming with hunger.

"Mother is too much." Chen couldn't help muttering.

Eyes aimed at Li Dalong and Xu Shi, feeling even more upset.

It's just an adopted daughter. Raising her is just to repay her when she grows up, and she really protects her like an eyeball.

Then, the hungry family all looked at Old Li.

Old Li's body is not as good as before, and today he was tired all day, and he was still making troubles when he got home, and he was no longer in the mood to eat.

But he didn't want to eat, but he didn't want to starve the younger ones in the family, so he said: "The second daughter-in-law is going to cook, old lady, come with me."

"Come in? What are you doing here? Are you going to pay me the money?" Although the old lady of the Li family was muttering, she followed Old Li into the house.

Old Li lingered by the bed for a while, and after a while, he took out a dilapidated small wooden box from the crack in the rock under the bed.

The old lady of the Li family's eyes lit up immediately, and when she saw the old Li took out the contents, she said angrily: "Well, you old man, you hide the money behind my back? Okay, I can get you, bring it to me !"

The old lady of the Li family grabbed the money inside.

Old Li didn't stop him, he just said: "This five taels of silver was originally reserved for the eldest grandson to marry a wife, and for Yuan Zhao to study, now you can take it, and heal the elder brother's leg."

The old lady of the Li family collected the money with a look of greed, and said, "What is the treatment? I just whipped him a few times with a broom, and there were a few blood marks. You really think I broke his legs." Well? The boss looks honest and shrewd. Don't worry, I'll act appropriately. If he becomes crippled, who will support me for the rest of my life?"

"Hmph, then I have to buy some ointment to apply it. It's the busy farming season, so we can't let him down, cough, cough..." Old Li coughed non-stop when he got angry.

The old lady of the Li family was unwilling, and said again: "Who is to blame for this? Don't you blame him? If he handed over the money-losing goods to Lao Wang, wouldn't he have the money?"

"You...are you still thinking about selling Xiaoyu? Li Zheng said that you are not allowed to sell your sons and daughters until you are short of food and clothing."

"When did I sell my son and daughter? The loser was picked up. We have raised her for so many years. Shouldn't she sell herself to repay her kindness?"

"You old woman, cough cough...cough cough..." Old Li coughed non-stop. He covered his mouth, and when he opened his hand, he saw a mouthful of blood from the palm of his hand!

Not far from him, the old lady of the Li family was still cursing non-stop.

He hurriedly hid his bloody hands, and said to the old lady of the Li family, "Go out, you want to quarrel..."

The people in the outer room, except Mrs. Chen who went out to cook, were all watching, listening to the movement inside.
