Chapter 373
When Li Shasha came out of Zheng's house, she asked Qiu Lan and Qiu Gui to give Li Dehe and the others all the things in the carriage to the old house below.On the other hand, he went back to the house to rest for a while. She had been having a hard time these few days, and there were too many things to do.

Besides, when Qiulan and Qiugui were sending the things in the carriage downstairs, Li Dehe happened to be lighting a fire in the stove. There was no way. If there is no kitchen, no fire will be lit, so the big job of lighting the fire is left to Li Dehe, and she takes a rag and plasters around the bedroom.

Behind Qiulan and Qiugui, a few young servants were carrying boxes and cages, and when they entered the main room, they put the boxes and cages there and were about to go out.Li Dehe could be regarded as seeing someone, and quickly dropped the torch in his hand, and came over to them with a dark face, "Qiu Lan, Qiu Gui, leave two young men here to help me light the fire and cook!" Qiu Lan looked at him Not knowing whether he was dead or alive, he glanced sideways: "Old man, you like to do things yourself so much, we of today must let you have a good time. You just play slowly with that one, and the servants will not accompany you! "After that, with a wave of his hand, the boys all followed and filed out.

How could those little servants want to stay here to accompany them to suffer, they fled out like the wind under their feet.Seeing that this was not going to work, Li Dehe immediately changed his strategy, ran out and shouted: "Qiu Lan, Qiu Gui, if you don't keep me, you have to leave me some food. There is not a single grain of rice in this rice jar!" Standing under the bamboo porch, Lan smiled and waved: "Grandpa, you like to play, so let's have fun. These things belong to Mrs. Xiande. If you want something, you should make up your own mind!"

Hearing these words, Li Dehe fell down angrily, and entered the main room indignantly.Unexpectedly, Li Dejiang, who lived next to him, heard the excitement here, and squatted at the door of the house to watch. When he saw his third brother returned to the house, he walked to the door of the main room with a smile: "I said, third brother, how come the more you live, the more you go back?" I can't even deal with a woman." Li Dehe looked at his second brother who was watching the joke, and was so angry that he didn't speak for a long time.I ignored him and went into the house to rummage through the cage.

Unexpectedly, Li Dejiang was not angry, and followed him into the house. Seeing that there were still several cages in his room, he touched the lid of one of the cages with his hand.But before I touched it, I was frightened by the bulging eyes of a boy standing by the cage and my hands trembled.The child didn't speak, but stared at his hand with a pair of big black and white eyes. Being looked at like this, he had no choice but to withdraw his hand embarrassingly.But he remembered and asked Li Dehe again: "Is this baby you plan to adopt to me?" Li Dehe nodded: "It's just a nominal adoption, and I won't live with you, so that when you get old, someone will provide you with incense "Although Li Dehe is not good to Mrs. Zheng, he still has nothing to say to his brothers and sisters.

But there is another problem with him, that is, he likes to take everything for granted. For the matter of adoption, he is the only one who shaves his head and picks his head. At this time, he still dares to say it in front of the two parties involved.Jiang Shi, who was plastering in the back room, heard it, threw the rag in his hand and ran out angrily, shouting at Li Dehe: "You, you actually gave Zong Lin to someone else!"

Only then did Li Dehe remember that he hadn't told Jiang the news of the thunderbolt from the blue sky, so he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Okay, listen to me first!" Jiang was trembling with anger, "This is my only one." Son, you let me listen to you, what to say, what else to say." She hugged Li Zonglin: "My son, none of you are allowed to take it away." In fact, the regret in her heart at that time, I I can't go back for a while, otherwise it's not good to live somewhere with my son and my cage.

Li Dehe first gave a blow to Zheng, who had never lost his temper, and now he was very embarrassed by what Jiang said.He looked up and saw Li Dejiang, who was enjoying watching the excitement, he pulled him up and pushed him away: "Second brother, you should go back quickly!" He pushed him outside the door three times, and knocked the door of the main room with a bang. The door is closed.Li Dejiang didn't finish watching the excitement, so he couldn't bear to leave, so he beat on the door hard: "Third brother, how can you drive brother out like this, let me in!"

Li Dehe ignored him, pulled Jiang who was holding Li Zonglin to a chair and sat down, and then explained: "Well, you don't listen to what people say, this Zonglin is just my second brother's successor. Zong Lin was adopted when there was no one else, but it was only written in the genealogy that he was adopted, and he didn’t actually leave us. If that’s the case, I have no choice but to do so.”

Li Dehe accepted the softness for a long time, and Jiang's finally burst into laughter.The two were flirting, when suddenly Li Zonglin yelled: "Hungry!" The two remembered that the fire had been lit for a long time and they hadn't started cooking. He picked up the two broken buckets he was holding and went to the well in the village to draw water.

Originally, he has been an old man for many years, and he has done this job of carrying water for more than ten years, so he is still capable of doing it.Now this shoulder looks like a thorn, and it hurts when the shoulder pole is placed on it.Fortunately, these two buckets have not been used for many years, and water leaks everywhere. With the weight reduction, although there is only half a bucket of water at home, the shoulders are much easier.To make a fire, you can only boil a pot of boiling water. After searching for a long time, Li Dehe found a teapot with a chip and a poorly broken teacup.

Fortunately, Jiang's cage still found a lot of snacks and jerky. The three ate some snacks and jerky with boiling water, and Jiang scooped the rest of the water into a clean basin. People make do with a wash.Jiang wiped the bed clean again, took out his mattress and quilt from the cage, and spread it on, finally he was able to sleep overnight.

Besides, Li Dejiang beat on Li Dehe's door for a long time, but the door still didn't open. He was both proud and funny, and went back to his room happily singing a little song.Ever since the old lady went to Beijing, Li Dejiang was like a wild horse that had run loose, living a life of ease.As long as the autumn harvest came, I would sell my few acres of land when there was grain, and I would go to the gambling house in the town to gamble for money, and I would never come back until I had a sticky cloth in my pocket.If I really have nothing to eat, I will go to the restaurant of Li Shasha's house in the town to eat and drink.The spring equinox has nothing to do with him, after all, he is the old man's brother, every time he comes, he knows that he is free, even though there is no shark's fin and bird's nest, it will make him full.When I go back to the village, I will also go to Li Dehai and Li Dehu's house to enjoy the autumn breeze. In short, this day is slowly passing by.It's just that the house is as messy as a kennel, and no one wants to go to his house.

This time when the old lady came back, she gave him 300 taels of silver and Li Dehu 150 taels each. He took the silver and ran away without a trace.This time he has some old money, so he won't spend it in this small gambling house in the town.When he became more capable, he hired a carriage and went to the big gambling house in Fucheng to make money, so Li Shasha and the others haven't seen him these days since they came back.

But how can this bet be turned over? People say that out of ten bets, nine loses.Li Dejiang is pretty good at calculating, there is still some distance to go back to the village from this prefecture, and there is no Li's restaurant, so he has to save some money for travel expenses no matter what.Just like that, he wandered around Fucheng with these few taels of silver in his pocket, and unexpectedly let him see Li Dehe sitting in a grocery store talking affectionately with a woman.He hid and took a closer look, he had seen that woman before, the Jiang family who once ran to Li Dehe's house to make trouble.He was also taken aback. Didn't the woman say she was dead?

He was not in a hurry to go back to Lijia Village, so he went to a nearby wonton stall to eat a bowl of wontons, pretending to inquire about nearby shops.Finally, he was asked to find out that Jiang Shi was not dead at all, and Jiang's elder brother drove her out. The shop was exactly the grocery store that Li Dehe opened in Fucheng back then.After receiving this letter of approval, Li Dejiang hired a carriage and returned to Lijiacun the next day.

Originally, he wanted to control Zheng's place for extorting some money, but he didn't know that Li Shasha would drive him away, so he yelled so unwillingly, trying to turn Li Dehe's backyard upside down and make him beautiful.Sure enough, when Li Dehe came back, Mrs. Zheng was rushed to the old house next to him.Hmph, let your third son be an old man in the capital, and my brother will live here alone.Li Dejiang finally let out a bad breath when he thought of this.It's just that Li Shasha's little girl grew up and became more and more powerful, and she dared to chase herself away. Seeing that I didn't take the opportunity to retaliate properly, Li Dejiang retaliated fiercely in his heart.

Not to mention the tragedy of the Li family brothers, let's talk about Li Shasha and Zheng's courtyard is very lively.For the first time in so many years, Zheng had a tough attitude, which made Li Shasha very happy.When Qiulan and Qiugui came back, they told Li Shasha about going to the old house to deliver the cages, and even bowed down laughing to her and Zheng Shi.So Li Shasha decided to invite Li Dehai and Li Deqing's family to have a good reunion today, and asked Qiulan to buy a half-fried pig from Zhang Butcher and come back to cook a delicious meal.

The main room was brightly lit, and there were two tables full of dishes. After sitting down separately for men and women, Li Shasha stood up and offered a toast to everyone. She said that she came back this time and got everyone's help. She would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone.It was so lively when everyone pushed and changed glasses, which was in stark contrast to the three people in the old house below who ate snacks and drank boiled water in the faint light of an oil lamp.

Mrs. Jiang endured it for two days and saw that Mrs. Zheng had no intention of calling Li Dehe back at all.She began to think about it in her heart, she came here with Li Dehe just to make an excuse to live a good life, how could she know that the good life had not been lived, and she had to live this miserable life of being miserable and poor.Finally, one day she took advantage of Li Dehe to go out. She took some broken silver from her purse and went to the village owner who had an ox cart. She dragged several boxes and Li Zonglin back to Fucheng in one cart, and took the grocery store overnight. He was sold, and led Li Zonglin to disappear without a trace with the silver.When Li Dehe came back, the house was already empty, and he never saw Jiang Shi and Li Zonglin since that day.
