Tie Kui Extra Story (20)

It has been half a year since I started the business, and Li's father and his wife always thought it was an accident. Unexpectedly, the truth turned out to be so unbearable.

Li Gui cried and said, "I was too scared at the time, thinking that Uncle Tie Hu, an old Orion, must have a way to kill wild boars."

Tie Kui didn't bother to argue with Li Gui at all, what to be afraid of was just an excuse for selfishness. Tie Kui said expressionlessly: "My father's leg has cost eight hundred taels of silver so far. I won't make things difficult for you, you only need to bear half of it."

Half, that is four hundred taels of silver. The Li family can't get so much together.

Li Gui's daughter-in-law yelled as soon as she heard it: "You are all cheating money, it's just a leg treatment, how can you spend so much money?"

Not to mention Chunxiang and Chunni, even Tiehu's face darkened. Using his legs to swindle money, thanks to Tie's words.

Father Li gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, don't worry, I'll sell the house and land to raise money when I get back. If it's not enough, we'll make an IOU first and pay it back slowly."

Li Gui became anxious, and immediately said: "Father, don't listen to their nonsense. Eight hundred taels of silver, they can't even get it out. Father, A Cui is right, they just want to cheat our family out of money."

Tie Kui laughed, and that smile was full of sarcasm: "Father, I'm right! Li Gui put you in danger and almost paralyzed you, but he doesn't feel any guilt at all."

Hearing this, Chunni asked a little puzzled: "Kuizi, what are you talking about?"

Tie Kui said: "My father said that Li Gui did that because he was too scared and didn't want to pursue the matter. But I think he did it on purpose, deliberately leading the wild boar to my father. If my father kills the wild boar It can be divided into half, and it would be just an accident if Dad was bitten to death by a wild boar. But Dad didn't believe me, and said that I thought too badly of Li Gui." It turned out that his guess was correct.

When Father Li and Aunt Li heard this, their faces turned green.

Chunni asked cautiously, "Isn't the eight hundred taels real?"

"It's true..."

Before Tie Kui could finish speaking, Tie Xiaocui screamed: "Impossible, how could your family come up with 800 taels of silver? Let me tell you, there is no way to cheat money."

Tie Hu turned to Father Li and Aunt Li and said, "Kui Zi and I hunted a leopard and a white tiger two years ago. The tiger skin, leopard skin, tiger ointment and leopard ointment were sold in Shengjing for a total of eight hundred and eighty taels. silver.

I originally planned to use the money for Kuizi to study and marry a wife. "

Chunxiang and Chunni looked at each other when they heard this. They knew about the leopard, but they didn't know anything about the white tiger. But when he thought about such an important matter, if he said that leaking his mouth would attract people's covetousness, he immediately felt relieved.

No wonder the father and son went to Shengjing that year to sell tiger and leopard skins.

Tie Xiaocui was stubborn: "Who knows if what you said is true..."

Before she finished speaking, Aunt Li slapped her across the face: "Why did I marry such a bereaved star to your son?" I don't know what kind of temperament my son has. Although he is not very smart, he is well-behaved and obedient. But he seemed to be a different person, and this was completely instigated by Tie Xiaocui.

Father Li still said the same thing, go back and sell pots and irons to raise money. IOUs that are not enough will be paid back slowly in the future.

Tiehu shook his head and said, "Brother Li, don't take Kuizi's words seriously."

The four members of the Li family went back soon.

Tie Hu looked at Tie Kui and said, "Kui Zi, what you said just now was too aggressive. Anyway, you, Uncle Li, have treated us well."

Tie Kui said with a gloomy face, "If it wasn't for the kindness of my uncle, I would definitely ask him to pay the money. If I don't, I will make him unable to stay in Tiejia Village."

If it was an accident, no matter how much Qian Tiekui spent, he would have nothing to say. But Tie Hu almost died, it was entirely caused by Li Gui. This is no different from murder.

Tie Hu shook his head and said, "Kuizi, I believe Agui was really scared at that time, and it wasn't intentional."

Tie Kui didn't answer, but asked Chun Ni: "Second Sister, do you believe what Li Gui said?"

"I don't believe it. He has never gone to the mountains to hunt, but he came to my house and said that he would go hunting with Dad." Knowing this on the day, Chunni was very angry. After that incident, she didn't go to Li's house very often. After Tiehu's accident, the sisters never set foot in Li's house again.

Chun Ni said to Tie Hu: "Father, although Uncle and Aunt are good people, Li Gui is their only son. Uncle and Aunt cannot beat Li Gui and Tie Xiaocui."

Tie Kui answered and said, "Uncle said to sell the house and fields, father, the Li family will not send any money."

On the second day, Tiehu heard that Father Li had fallen ill. It's not pretending to be sick, but a real sickness, a sickness from anger.

Not to mention selling fields and houses, even Li Gui and his wife wouldn't allow Mr. Li to give the family savings to the Tie family.

This was within Tie Kui's expectation, so he was not disappointed.

The two went to the village head's house with gifts. During the time when the father and son were away, it was thanks to the village head's family for taking care of Buddha.

Seeing them carrying things, Tong said: "You must take the things back. Otherwise, not only your grandpa, but I will also be angry." Tiehu needs money to heal his legs, and the family has no other income, so how can he? Want their stuff.

Tiehu smiled and said, "This is the pipe Kuizi bought for Grandpa Ninth. I don't smoke either. If you don't put it away, it will be ashes at home."

Tie Kui said: "My lord, many things in Shengjing are cheaper than here. The pipe I bought is only 120 yuan."

For the peasant family, one hundred and twenty coins is not a brother-in-law. But as soon as he saw the quaint copper-colored pipe inside, the village chief fell in love with it: "I am very happy that you miss me, old man. But we have to give this money." If it was before, it would be fine, but how can it be collected now? Things from Huzi's house.

Tie Kui smiled and said, "Grandfather, I specially honor you with this pipe."

Tie Hu interjected: "Grandpa Nine, Kui Zi is very capable and helped the bookstore to copy books and earned more than thirty taels of silver in half a year. He earned all the expenses for eating and drinking in Shengjing."

"real?"

Tie Hu smiled and said, "Grandpa Ninth, when did I ever lie to you? The shopkeeper said that Kuizi's handwriting is good, so the price is high."

The village chief didn't believe it, so he asked Dashuan to take out his grandson's pen and ink. He believed it when he saw Tie Kui's words 'make contributions and establish a career'.

After accepting the pipe, the village head said, "Since Kuizi honored me, I will accept it. But it's only this one time, it's not an exception. Otherwise, you are not allowed to enter my house again."

After talking for a long time at the village chief's house, the father and son went back. It was still Tie Kui who supported Tie Hu and walked back slowly.

Holding the pipe, the village chief said: "The tiger will enjoy the blessings of the future." With such a capable and filial son, he still worries about his poor life in the future.

Looking at the writing on the table, Tong said: "This kid is so smart, what a pity." If he can keep studying, he might be able to win the imperial examination or even become a Jinshi and become an official. Now, he was dragged down by his family and dropped out of school.

The village head sighed and said nothing.

In the evening of that day, Dashuan's daughter-in-law returned home angrily. Seeing this, Er Shuan's daughter-in-law asked, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter? Who made you so angry?"

Dashuan's daughter-in-law said: "That dead girl Tie Xiaocui has completely disgraced our family."

This happened to be heard by the Tong family who walked out of the door, and immediately frowned and said, "You elder, what do you care about with a junior?" Tie Xiaocui is not the granddaughter of the Tong family, but the fourth brother of the village head who has passed away. granddaughter.

The mother of the village chief gave birth to seven sons, two of which died young, and the five surviving sons, the second, fourth, and seventh, were all given away.

The fourth elder brother of the village chief had an only son, but he died of illness early on, leaving Xiaocui with a daughter. When Xiaocui was eight years old, the old man also fell ill, worried about his relatives, and entrusted Xiaocui to the village chief before he died.

When Xiaocui arrived at the village chief's house, she was recorded under the name of Dashuan and his wife. However, Dashuan's daughter-in-law doesn't like Xiao Cui, who is hardworking and thoughtful, and even if she is in her name, she never cares about her. Later, she fell in love with Li Gui herself, and the village head and Mrs. Tong saw that the Li family was good, so they asked someone to talk and marry her to the Li family. Even though Dashuan and Ershuan's daughters-in-law didn't like Tie Xiaocui, because of this relationship, the Li family quickly gained a firm foothold in Tiejia Village.

Dashuan's daughter-in-law relayed what Chunni had told her, and then said, "Huzi saved her man's life. If she wanted to say that she had no money to pay for it, it would be fine, but she actually yelled at Huzi's family for fabricating lies to cheat money. Mother." , Can you see what she said about this human thing?" It's also fortunate that she is not her own daughter, otherwise she would have slapped her to death.

When she was sleeping at night, Mrs. Tong told Mr. Jiu about this: "Xiaocui has been a bad thinker since she was young, but she has hurt the Li family's child."

When Xiaocui came to the village chief's house, she had a sum of money in her hand, which was not a small amount. The money was tightly held by her.

Tong didn't think about asking her for the money, but when Tie Xiaocui was asked to take the money for the dowry, she also bit her to death saying that she had no money. In the end, they forced their family to buy him a decent dowry. Because of this, the whole family was very angry.

"Nothing is harmful, if he has a righteous heart, he will not be affected." After all, Li Gui's own intentions are not righteous, so who can be blamed.

Tong said this to Lord Nine on purpose: "Huzi saved his man's life, but she didn't appreciate it at all, and even bit back and said she was cheating money. Old man, you have done enough for her. Don't worry about her any more."

"They're all other people's daughters-in-law, what else do I care about." I thought it was just young and ignorant before, but now I find that this child has no heart at all. Whether it is good or bad in the future depends on her own fate.

After hearing this, Tong immediately felt relieved.

On the third day after Tiehu and his son returned home, Chunni told them that the Shao family had retired.

Thinking of the day when Tie Kui objected to this marriage, saying that the Shao family was unreliable. But he felt that the conditions of the Shao family were very good, so he insisted on making the decision. In the end, it hurt the eldest daughter: "Xiang'er, don't be sad, Father will find you a better one."

Whenever this matter was mentioned, Chunxiang couldn't help crying: "Father, I don't want to get married anymore."

Tie Kui looked at Chun Xiang's disheartened appearance, and asked, "Shao Lili doesn't know about the resignation?"

Chunni hummed and said, "The divorce was hidden from him. After the divorce, he came several times, but I kicked him out." Now that the divorce has been divorced, don't bother me again.

Tie Kui nodded, and changed the subject: "The Shao family's betrothal gift of ten taels of silver was refunded, so did the carpenter's wages not be paid?"

"I gave Uncle Xu the money, but he confiscated it, and said he could use the wood left over from our house to pay for his wages."

There are still twelve pieces of wood left in their house, which add up to four or five taels of silver. Uncle Xu is a carpenter, how could he not know this. It's just that seeing that the Tie family is in trouble now, they don't plan to ask for this salary.

Tie Hu said: "Kuizi, send your wages to Xu's family tomorrow." I got it, but I can't lose it to him.

Chun Ni hesitated and asked, "Father, how much money do we have?"

Tie Kui smiled and said, "Second Sister, you don't have to worry about money, I'm here!" They took the car of Yongsheng Commercial Company when they came back from Shengjing, saving the carriage fare. And, it's safe on the road. Speaking of which, shopkeeper Bai can be regarded as his nobleman.

Chunni said: "Brother, you can't handle everything alone. If you have something to tell us, let's find a solution together."

It was already ten days after Shao Lili heard the news that Tiehu and his son had returned.

After taking leave of absence from the shopkeeper, Shao Lili hurried to Tiejia Village. Afraid of being kicked out by Chunni, Shao Lili sent a villager to call Tie Kui out, and he waited at the entrance of the village.

Tie Kui built several wooden stakes in the yard, and tied long poles to the wooden stakes. In this way, Tiehu can walk slowly while holding on to the pole.

Hearing that Shao Lili came, Tie Kui put down what he was doing and went out.

Tiehu sighed. Kuizi said that Shao Lili was reliable, and hoped that Kuizi didn't miss it this time. Otherwise, looking at Chunxiang's haggard appearance, he would also be worried.

Shao Lili's first words when he saw Tie Kui: "Brother Kui, I really don't know about the resignation. Because of this, my mother and I had a big fight."

"Then what?"

Shao Lili said: "Brother Kui, my mother is not kind, but I really want to marry Ah Xiang."

If he didn't know that Shao Lili really liked Chunxiang, and he was capable and assertive, he wouldn't have come out: "Whether you are sincere or not, I have to look at your actions, not what you say."

Shao Lili was ecstatic: "Brother Kui, so you are willing to give me another chance?"

"Let me see your sincerity first, and then talk about other things." Although Chunxiang tried her best to show that she didn't care, they all knew that she had Shao Lili in her heart. Otherwise, she wouldn't cry when she heard the name Shao Lili. Therefore, Tie Kui is willing to give him another chance.

Shao Lili knew in his heart that if he wanted to marry Chunxiang, he had to separate. Only by not allowing Chunxiang to live with his mother under the same roof can Tie Kui agree to marry Chunxiang to him.

Shao Lili is not a foolish and filial person, and what Shao's mother did made him feel chilled. But separating the family is not so easy: "Kuidi, give me a few months."

"Don't worry, my family won't propose marriage to eldest sister within this year." With Chunxiang's current state, it's not suitable for her to be engaged now. She has to calm down before talking about marriage. Of course, it would be great if Shao Lili could solve the Shao family's affairs.
