The first peasant daughter of the green garden

Chapter 12 Let her be a child bride
"Village Chief, did you hear that it was Li Caibin who hit me, you must seek justice for me!"

Village head Li Chengfu brought along several elders, all of whom were influential people in the village. "Li's daughter-in-law, don't worry, everyone is here, let's figure things out first."

Hearing someone outside, Li Mingde got up from the bed in the room and went to the door to look at all the elders in the clan.

Li Chengfu is a reasonable person. Seeing Li Mingde coming out, "Mingde, your legs are inconvenient." He said to Caibin who was standing beside him, "Go and move a stool for your father to sit on."

Seeing that all the elders of the clan had come, Li Mingde said, "Caibin, go and move some more stools out."

All the people waited and sat down. The village head spoke first, "Mingde, you are not feeling well. I shouldn't have disturbed you, but you must be present for this matter."

Li Mingde is an honest man, he nodded and said: "Village chief, you can ask, if Cai Bin made a mistake, I will not let you talk about it." The village chief nodded.

"Dahai, Caibin, you two tell me what happened."

Li Haihai glanced at Li Caiwei with a guilty conscience, and described the matter hesitantly.Li Caibin put all the responsibility on himself, "Village Chief, I did it first, if you want to punish me, punish me."

The village head pondered for a while, "Caibin, you don't have to take all the responsibility on yourself like this, it's what it is, if you're right, the village head won't punish you, and if it's your fault, he won't punish you." Will turn a blind eye and close one eye.”

"The sea, tell me."

Li Dahai thought for a while, "Village Chief, it was Li Caibin who made the first move. I didn't hit him. Look, he doesn't have any injuries."

I thought that Li Hai was timid and afraid, and he didn't dare to tell the matter, but the matter became more serious.Li Caiwei stood beside her half dead with anger, staring at Li Dahai.As soon as Li Dahai saw Li Caiwei, he was nervous and dared not speak. Xin felt his son's point, and whispered to his son, "Dahai, do you think it's this little fairy?"

Li Dahai was evasive, "No, it's not."

"Tell me the truth, did this vixen hurt you?"

"Mother, I said no." Li Dahai was a little annoyed because he was afraid of being exposed.

"I knew it was this little goblin who was causing the trouble. How could Caibin beat someone up for no reason?"

Li Caiwei finally couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't care less about her own reputation, "Father, let me tell you, it's not brother's fault."

Li Caiwei explained the development of the matter in front of everyone.The moment she finished speaking, she felt much more comfortable, but she didn't know what the consequences would be. What would happen to her reputation in the future?But right now, this is the only way to go. If Cai Bin is punished, it will be serious if the family loses a pillar.

"Village Chief, that's the way it is. My brother did it to save me."

Li Chengfu nodded, "Chengfa, the matter has been clarified. It was your child who was at fault first, but it was also wrong for Caibin to beat someone. In my opinion, let Mingde's family pay some money, and let the matter pass like this."

Xin didn't expect that it was her son's fault. She wanted to teach the Li family a lesson, but she didn't want to be generalized.

Li Chengsheng nodded and stammered: "Mother, it's Dahai's fault, let's just let things go like this."

Xin was unwilling to reconcile, "I agree with the village chief, you said to lose money, but you see how the sea was beaten, how much do you think the compensation will be?"

Li Mingde tremblingly stood up from the stool, "Village chief, my family will pay two taels of silver. You know that the family is in trouble, and this two taels of silver is considered medical treatment money for Dahai!"

Seeing this, the village chief said, "That's two taels."

Xin was not forgiving, "Village Chief, the two taels of silver will be calculated within half a month, otherwise it will become five taels of silver."

The village chief knew that the Xin family was a troublesome woman, so it wasn't too much to figure it out in half a month, "Mingde, can you come up with two taels of silver in half a month?"

"The money will be paid back within half a month." Li Mingde entered the room, and everyone dispersed.

Li Caiwei was not convinced, why did all the unlucky things happen one after another, what did she do wrong?

Li Caiwei wanted to resist, but it was useless for her to resist. Since her father agreed to pay the money, she also hoped that the matter would not make a big fuss.

She was almost raped by Li Dahai, and was used by women in the village to make irresponsible remarks, and everyone said she was the one who seduced her.

In the evening, Li Caiwei cooked the meal, and when she went to the room to call Li Mingde, Li Mingde said that she didn't want to eat.She had no choice but to bring the food to the room, "Father, you feed it to mother, and I will ask Caibin to eat." Li Mingde hummed for a while.I know dad is angry, but what should she do?If you don't make it clear, brother will be punished, and there is nothing to say about your grievances.

Li Caiwei brought out all the food, but Li Caibin hid in his room and did not come out.

Li Caiwei sat alone in the kitchen in a daze, looking at the food, without any appetite.

Two taels of silver, the family can't even afford food, let alone two taels of silver.Dad's leg mother's illness needs money, and there is no money to pay for it, so what should I do?
Li Caiwei felt very unconvinced, why should the family pay for it?

But since Dad has already said it, she can't resist!
Li Caiwei thought, she can only go to the market to sell a la carte, so that she can make some money, but when can she make up two or two taels of silver?
Li Caiwei sat in the yard weaving bamboo baskets, so that it was convenient to carry some vegetables to sell in the market.I don't want the third aunt Long to come from a distance, "Caiwei, I'm here to find your father."

Hearing her muttering in the room for a long time, when she came out, she smiled perfunctorily, "Caiwei, today your mother-in-law said that she would ask the whole family to discuss something. I think your father is in good health today. At noon I called Your uncle came and carried your father to my house for dinner."

"Okay, I know." Li Caiwei responded, there must be something wrong.

Third Aunt Long thought for a while, "You ask your brother to come over for lunch at noon." Li Caiwei declined, "Auntie, I won't go, you can just let brother go." "That's up to you."

In the evening, Li Caibin helped his father go home.

Li Mingde didn't look very well, he entered the room sullenly, and specifically asked not to bring food in.

During dinner, Li Caiwei wanted to ask Li Caibin what happened during the day.

"Brother, why is Dad going to Auntie's house today?" Li Caibin didn't say a word, he added some food and walked out of the kitchen, ignoring her.Li Caiwei can probably feel that it must have something to do with her, and it is inconvenient to say it clearly. It seems that she can only find another suitable time to ask what happened.

Early the next morning, Li Mingde braced himself to get up.

"Father, what are you going to do?"

Li Mingde didn't answer either, and walked out the door on crutches.Li Caiwei wanted to ask what happened, but couldn't ask.Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, put down what she was doing, and followed behind her father.
