I took my game account back to ancient times to do business

Chapter 177

Until Qiao Lin came back from the field at night, no one else knocked on the door of Old Qiao's house.

Li could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, what she didn't know was that the two officials listened to the gossip all over the village, and those ladies who had nothing to do rushed to shake out all the old sesame seeds and rotten millet in Qiao's house.

Because he had a token from the county magistrate, he came out this time as a business trip, so Tang Dalang was not worried that the county gate would be closed at night and he would not be able to get in, so he kept nagging with the ladies at the entrance of the village from the afternoon The sun is setting.

There was even an old woman in her 80s, with her almost toothless mouth shrunken, pounding the ground with a walking stick tremblingly, and mournfully said: "How nice are Qiao Da and his wife! The couple regard that stepmother as their own mother." Filial piety, if this is my son and daughter-in-law, I will definitely hurt her eyeballs, unlike her, she can be abused with all her strength!"

"Old man Qiao married such a second wife, it's really bloody bad for eight lifetimes!"

The 80-year-old lady sighed: "When the old man was still there, the surname Lu looked like a real person! Who would have thought that his wife would turn his back on him before the first seven times? Man, why does this man have two faces?"

While sighing, she instructed the young daughter-in-law who came out with her, and said earnestly: "You should keep your eyes open when you tell Xiao Shuanzi that you are dear, and you must never marry such a woman!"

"The young couple still has a young lady, who seems to be called Da Ya. I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I don't know where she went." A younger lady with not much gray hair has good teeth, He sighed regretfully while knocking on the pine nuts that Tang Dalang brought over.

One person replied, "Maybe she went to her grandparents' house?"

"It's okay if you go to her grandma's house. If you don't have a father or a mother, you won't be trampled to death by Mrs. Lu if you stay!" The pine nut cracker pouted with her mouth open, and spit out the pine nut shells into the tree pit as if venting her anger.

Tang Dalang courteously took out another pack of pine nuts from his pocket and handed it to the aunt, asking, "Her grandma? You mean Mrs. Zhen, is she from this village?"

"No, no! That mother Zhen was married from the county town. Her natal family had a brother who worked as a cook in a big restaurant. The Qiao family was still rich when Mr. Qiao left, and the family's Yongyetian was for Lu After selling half of it, you can still have more than 30 acres! Thanks to such a family, they are willing to marry the little lady, otherwise, no one in the county would look down on us mud legs!"

Aunt Songzi laughed at herself very smoothly, and the people around her laughed, and no one minded her self-deprecation.

Tang Dalang and his brothers looked at each other, nodded, and said, "I have one last question. Who do you turn to for medicine in your village when you have a headache?"

"Ham! Our village is too close to the county seat. How can there be a doctor?" A young daughter-in-law supporting her mother-in-law smiled and said, "There is only one barefoot doctor dozens of miles outside the county seat. We call him Old Man Li, who lives next door. Lijiazhuang! It took a day and a night to drive a donkey cart from our village to the southeast."

The aunt knocking on the pine nuts added: "Yes, the stepmother of the Qiao family and the second wife of his family were married from that Li family village."

"We got it, thank you all, we still have something to do, so let's go first." Tang Dalang stuffed the remaining pine nuts into the old woman's hand, saluted and took oil on the soles of his hands.

The two came to the outside of the village, found a secluded place, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else, Tang Dalang said: "Fourth, what do you think?"

The fourth child pondered for a while, and said: "Maybe there is something wrong with Mongolian sweat medicine. Medical halls are not allowed to sell this kind of medicine privately in the county town. If someone insists on buying it, they must go to the yamen for approval together with the doctor, but we have not received it for several years. This kind of approval. Lu and Li can only buy medicine from the barefoot doctor in their natal village."

Tang Dalang patted him on the shoulder approvingly.

It's not impossible to insist on buying it, as long as you give some benefits to the doctors in the medical hall and the county magistrate in private.But the villagers said that Mrs. Lu was a penny-pinching rooster. The money to bribe the doctor and the county magistrate was more than five or six times more expensive than a dose of Mongolian sweat medicine.

Although Sun Xiancheng is greedy, he is also very principled. Although he is never greedy for big things, he does not accept small things.He has always been willing to accept money in the tens of thousands. If you only bribe a few hundred cash, he will only think that you are insulting him.

Taking a ten thousand step back, Mrs. Lu really used all the inheritance on hand to bribe the old grandson, but they must be seen passing the gate of the county government, right?
There are not many others in the county government, but there are many bad people.These bad people are all in the same breath. They saw something rare that day, and bragged to their brothers in the tavern as if they could pour beans when they were drinking at night.

If a doctor brought an old lady to Sun Xiancheng to do business, no matter what he did, there would be several versions spread by these brothers, but Tang Dalang and his subordinates had never heard of such news.

"Then we just need to ask that old man Li." Tang Dalang held his chin and rubbed his thumb against his people, "It's easy to deal with this kind of person, if you show style and even intimidate, you can do it." Let him clean up honestly."

"The difficulty is that no one saw the process of the two of them attacking Miss Qiao! There is no evidence, so there is no way to settle the case. Why don't we go back first and report to the Lord?"

Tang Ban frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Alright. Tomorrow, let's get two horses and take a trip to Lijiazhuang."

At night, Mrs. Li put Qiao Bao'er to sleep, but she lay on the kang tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

The rural nights in this season are still a bit cold. In order to save firewood, each family no longer burns kangs. After Li's tossing like this, all the heat from the blanket escaped, and Qiao Lin felt in a daze. His back was chilly, and when he heard that it was Mrs. Li turning over constantly, he suddenly lost his temper. He half turned his head sleepily: "What's wrong with you, are you upside down?"

"It seems that mother has really stayed at the third child's house." Li Shi stopped turning over, and she lay down on her back, sighing.

"Just stay here..." Qiao Lin couldn't figure out what to worry about, so he rolled up the quilt to cover his back, "Mother always loves the third child, what's the point of letting him stay for a night?" of."

"But she's going to sell eggs today!" Li's tone was a little anxious, "Right now, eggs cost four cents a piece, and she brought over twenty, so she can earn eighty cents no matter what. I bought more than 20 catties of sorghum noodles. Mom won’t carry all of them into the old three’s house, right?”

Qiao Lin snorted: "Don't think so badly about your mother, and carry them all into the third child's house, let alone us, what does the old girl eat? Mother will not let the old girl go hungry."

"Then I have to give the money to the third child. I guess half of the points will be given out!" Li Shi was a little impatient, and her breathing was a little violent, "What time is it now? Mother still only cares about the third child and her daughter , the youngest son eats the dowry of his younger siblings, how useful it is, why don't we pick it out of our mouths to help him! No, I have to go to the county tomorrow! No matter what, I have to persuade my mother not to be confused!"

"The money won't reach both of us if we don't split it up, so save it!" Qiao Lin said impatiently because of his sleepiness, "Mother is not here, tomorrow you go to the county and who will cook ...Stop thinking about it and go to sleep."

Not long after, Qiao Lin was snoring again.

The shining moonlight shone on Li Shi's face, and she couldn't sleep.

After thinking about it for a long time, she still decided to go to the county seat tomorrow.

If you bump into Lu Shi, you will say that you are here to pick her up, and by the way, persuade her not to think too hard.If he didn't run into her, then he would just go to ask the third child for some food and sneak it back by himself. In private, he would also be able to give Bao'er a small treat. With the kindness of his younger siblings, he would definitely not refuse.
