Chapter 273 Asking for Money ([-])

Li Zhaoshi on the side also frowned, and said displeasedly: "There is nothing at home, the house has been washed away, what are we going to do when we go back? Besides, the fields have also been flooded, it must be full of water now." Sandy soil, where can we grow crops? Old man, don’t be confused, we have no ability to make money, don’t we still have children? Raising them so big, it’s time for them to show their filial piety, it’s only natural to respect the elderly Well, if they don't raise it, they will be struck by lightning."

Li Yushan responded and said: "Yes, father, mother is right, isn't there Hai Tang, Xia He, and Qiu Ju here? They are all our Li family, there is no reason to stand by and watch."

Li Dehai naturally knew what they were thinking, but he also had his own calculations in his mind: "This matter is settled like this, we must go back, but how to go back, and how the family will live after going back is a problem. You all came here to discuss this matter."

Li Zhaoshi wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Li Dehai's eyes. Although he was unhappy, he still closed his mouth obediently. The juniors below also had different thoughts. For a while, the whole hall was extremely quiet.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Dehai frowned. From her point of view, when this matter was brought up, the granddaughters should consciously express their views. On the other hand, none of them spoke now. This attitude made him very dissatisfied. When they are in trouble, their attitudes of having nothing to do with themselves are indeed the water thrown by the married daughters. They are unkind, so don't blame him for being unrighteous.

He cleared his throat first, and then said: "You sisters are doing well in our village, so our old Li's family is lucky, it's not difficult to start over, and I won't make things difficult for you, the three of you Each of the sisters paid 100 taels of silver, and after a few days the flood has almost receded, so we can go home."

Hearing this, Li Zhao’s eyes lit up, one person is 100 taels, that’s 300 taels of silver, my goodness, last time the second room’s house was built for only fifty taels of silver, even if it goes back and rebuilds according to that specification, Then there is still a lot left.

Life in this county is good, but going back to Lijia Village is the only one. After this catastrophe, who can come up with so much money in Lijia Village?The money left over from repairing the house can be used to buy some fields, so when she goes back, she will be living the life of a landlady, why must she fight with some young children here.

At this moment, Li Zhaoshi looks like Li Dehai's eyes are already admiring, the old man is still powerful, and his vision is farther than her.

Li Haitang didn't think there was any surprise, but she was a little surprised by the amount Li Dehai said. To her, 100 taels is nothing, but to Qiu Ju and Xia He, 100 taels is really not a small amount. .

Although the Jin family is rich, Jin Xin is only in charge of affairs and has no real power at all. Let alone whether there is much money in hand, even if there is, compared to money, it is still in the hands of the third wife of Jin. Isn't Xia He It might be possible to get it, but with Xia He's current situation, I'm afraid 100 taels of silver is really tricky.

Li Haitang looked at Jin Xin beside Xia He, and saw that he didn't seem to have heard Li Dehai's words, but was just sipping the tea in his hand carefully, thinking to himself, there must be a good show to watch.

As for Qiuju and Haitang at the side, she gave her a wink, telling her not to worry, and Qiuju felt relieved.

Li Dehai saw that the three of them didn't say yes or no, his face darkened even more.

"Qiu Ju, you are the oldest, tell me first, what is your idea? Old Li's family provided you with good food and drink. You can't just stand by at this time."

Seeing the old man speak so politely, Mrs. Li Zhao felt a little anxious. The more polite you are towards these lowly hoofs, the more polite they are, the more they pretend to be ignorant.

"Old man, you go down and rest first, let me discuss it with the three sisters."

Li Dehai knew that it was really inappropriate for him to say this. Li Zhaoshi was aggressive, and this kind of thing was naturally easy to grasp.

"Then talk about it carefully and discuss it slowly."

After finishing speaking, Li Dehai led everyone out of the courtyard.

"Xia He, you should take the lead in expressing your opinion to grandma. Over the years, you and Yurou are the ones who love grandma the most. At this time, you have to give grandma a face. You are also a decent rich wife now. The 100 taels of silver Isn't it a joke for you?" In Li Zhaoshi's opinion, this Xia He has been the most docile since she was a child, and she will definitely listen to her this time, as long as she shows it, the other two will be fine.

Li Xiahe was also bitter in his heart.

If she had silver in her hand, she would definitely be willing to take it out. After all, the 100 taels of silver is really not much, and if she can show her face in front of her family, why not do it?
But the problem is that she really has no money. Since she came to the Jin family, although there is no shortage of food and clothing, Mrs. Jin San has never given her money. It is not a small expense to take care of the servant girl, she is almost penniless now, how can she spend 100 taels?

Li Xiahe is a person who cares about face, it is really difficult for her to show weakness in front of her sisters, but if she relaxes about this matter and cannot get the money, it will only make her face even more embarrassing.

"Grandma, I really don't have any money. You know it before. I don't have a good time in Jin's family. Just after passing the door, my husband brought up two aunts. All the money in the family is in the hands of my mother-in-law. You are weak and have always been mean to me, so where will you give me money? Even if you sell me now, I don’t have 100 taels of silver.”

Seeing that Li Xiahe didn't cooperate, Li Zhao became angry immediately.

"After all, you are a decent young mistress, and you can't beat the two aunts? Don't fool me. You were fine before, but now it will be difficult for you to get the money out? Xia He, Kuai Nai loved you so much back then. , is this how you repay milk?"

Turning her head and looking at Qiu Ju again: "You are an older sister, and your younger sister said you have no money, so do you have no money?" In fact, Qiu Ju has no money at all, she is just a servant, relying on Li Haitang is eating, and now she is taking care of the children at home every day. Where did the family get the money?What's more, I heard that his man and his family were all slaves back then, so they must not have much wealth, so she definitely didn't have the 100 taels of silver in her hands, but this girl has always been easy to handle, even if she didn't, she still has a way to let her She didn't worry at all about borrowing money and handing it over.
