On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 98 Be wary of men who complain to you.

(Thanks to Paulinelo for voting 3 monthly tickets.)
Long before leaving Liujiatun, Li Shiyue had some doubts in his heart.

Why did Li Shiyang insist on following them to Sanshan County to exchange the barbarian heads for silver?

Li Shiyue and a few others are enough to handle this matter. There is no need for Li Shiyang to go along.

After all, Li Shiyang's physique is really not as good as theirs, but he still has to go with them. If something happens to him on the way, they will have to distract themselves to take care of him.

In this case, not only will Li Shiyang be unable to help, but he may also add to their burden.

But Li Shiyang was a scholar after all, and he got the news in advance and led them to escape the famine;

More importantly, Li Youfu, the patriarch of Lijia Village, is his grandfather. If nothing unexpected happens, when Li Youfu dies, Li Shiyang will be the new patriarch.

Therefore, when Li Shiyang proposed to go with them to Sanshan County to exchange silver, they would naturally not refuse.

I didn't refuse, but I still had some doubts in my heart.

And when Li Shiyang knocked on the door and started talking about his unfilial, unbrotherly, unkind and unjust second uncle tonight, Li Shiyue already had some ideas in his mind.

You should know that when a man tells you about his difficulties and hardships, you should be alert;

Generally speaking, men who do this mostly want to lower your guard and impress you with their emotions so that you will consciously and actively sacrifice your own interests to achieve their desired goals.

Because a truly respectable gentleman will not expose his shortcomings to others.

They will only lick their wounds silently in an empty corner instead of exposing themselves to others in order to win the sympathy of others and get what they want.

Isn’t Mr. Li so shameless?
The reason he gave for his affair with Qin Tao was that Shitou was a fool, and he was the eldest son of the Li family, shouldering the responsibility of carrying on the family line;

Therefore, he had to find Qin Tao to do such a dirty thing, all for the sake of the Li family's successor.

He said this because he hoped that the capable mother Li would see his "helplessness" and "difficulties" and agree to his wish of making Qin Tao his mistress so that he could enjoy the blessing of having two wives.

As for the fact that Li Shiyang deliberately killed Li Wangren, in Li Shiyue's opinion, Li Shiyang definitely had the intention to kill him a long time ago.

It's just that the Japanese pirates came suddenly that night. Under that situation, he didn't have time to plan carefully. That night was a good opportunity to kill Li Wangren directly by using the Japanese pirates, so he did it directly.

If the Japanese pirates had not hijacked the ship, the people of Lijia Village would have settled in Liujiatun smoothly, and Li Shiyang would probably not have complained to Li Youfu and asked Li Youfu to control Li Wangren.

Because Li Shiyang's hatred for Li Wangren was not only because of his shameless affair with Qin Tao, the main reason was that Li Youfu made his father do labor service for Li Wangren but died!

The hatred in Li Shiyang's heart for his father's murder would definitely make him think of a way to kill Li Wangren.

His accidental discovery of Li Wangren and Qin Tao's affair was just the fuse.

At this time, when Li Shiyue asked this question, "Is there anything else that can't be said directly?"

She had already thought of it. Li Shiyang had just mentioned that he wanted to continue taking the imperial examinations, or to be a civil official under the King of Zhenbei. So, he must have set his sights on the "Xuan" card that Liu Tan gave her, right?

Previously, Chen Wenfu, an advisor under the King of Zhenbei, gave Li Shiyang a "Xuan" card in the city. But how could the advisor's "Xuan" card compare to the "Xuan" card given by the King of Zhenbei's eldest son himself?

As expected, Li Shiyang looked up at Li Shiyue's eyes and asked, "When we were in the village, the eldest master asked you if you were willing to serve as a soldier under him. What do you think about this?"

Li Shiyue would definitely not agree to Liu Tan’s words!
Putting aside the question of whether there are any women soldiers in the Xuanjia Army led by Liu Tan, given the mess at Li Shiyue's home, it is impossible for her to abandon Li's mother and the others and turn around and enter the military camp, only to be used as a killing knife in the future!
It is not advisable to be a soldier for others. It would be a good thing if you could be a general and have soldiers under your command.

"Crack" suddenly, an idea flashed in Li Shiyue's mind!
She took the "Xuan" card Liu Tan gave her from her waist, put it on the table, raised her head and looked at Li Shiyang: "Brother Shiyang, do you want to use this card to go to Sanshan County to find Mr. Chen?"

Yes, Mr. Chen!

Li Shiyue suddenly remembered what Liu Tan said after giving her the "Xuan" plaque: "Take this plaque and go to the garrison behind Qingsong Town to find a gentleman named Chen."

I wonder if this Mr. Chen is the same Mr. Chen that Li Shiyang met in the provincial capital?

Li Shiyang's eyes were immediately glued to the "Xuan" card on the table. He picked it up and put it in his palm to look at it. He also took the oil lamp on the table and looked at it closer.

"Compared to the piece Mr. Chen gave me, this piece has one more word in the corner."

Li Shiyue looked down at the place where Li Shiyang was pointing, and a small word "handsome" appeared in front of her.

Seeing Li Shiyue nod, Li Shiyang continued to ask: "Sister Shiyue, what do you think?"

Li Shiyue raised her hand and took back the "Xuan" card from Li Shiyang's palm. She looked at Li Shiyang and said word by word: "Brother Shiyang, although I have no intention of joining the army as a soldier, I intend to send the men from our village to go.

You also said that troubled times are coming, and our village has settled in Liujiatun. If we want to live a good life in the future, how can we do it without anyone in the army?

Yes, we followed you to escape the famine when the land was dry and the spring seedlings died just to avoid being randomly forced to serve in the army.

But now is different from the past, there is no drought here, but there are barbarians! "Listening to Li Shiyue's words, Li Shiyang thought that Li Shiyue probably didn't want to lend him the "Xuan" card.

Li Shiyang's face immediately drooped, but Li Shiyue's eyes were fixed on him without missing a single detail, and Li Shiyang's face was immediately filled with a gentle smile again.

“However, I can lend this card to you first.

I believe that as long as this card can allow my brother to meet Mr. Chen, I believe that with my brother's talent and intelligence, he will have a bright future! "

Having said this, Li Shiyue smiled and put the card in Li Shiyang's hand: "If this card can be of some use, please don't forget that the Liujiatun clansmen are the ones."

In fact, all Li Shiyue needed to do was to take this sign and find Mr. Chen at the garrison, and then take Li Shiyang with him.

However, Li Shiyang came to ask for the badge at this time, which must mean that he wanted to meet Mr. Chen alone. He didn't expect that he was able to meet Mr. Chen because Liu Tan noticed Li Shiyue's abilities.

In the final analysis, it is a question of who is the primary and secondary between Li Shiyue and Li Shiyang.

Li Shiyang wanted to take advantage of this.

Li Shiyue could of course refuse Li Shiyang, but if she did so, she would be at loggerheads with Li Shiyang.

Li Shiyue is of course not afraid of Li Shiyang, but Li Shiyue still has family. If he really has to be on guard against the next clan leader in the future, how will Li's mother and the others live in Lijia Village?

Therefore, they could only accept this matter now, and from now on, they would have to rely on Li Shiyue herself. If she became more powerful, she would naturally not be afraid of Li Shiyang's little tricks;
Furthermore, Li Shiyue considered that if Li Shiyang could really get a job here through Mr. Chen, it would naturally be a good thing for the people of Lijia Village.

Therefore, the sign was taken away by Li Shiyang.

The next day, after everything was packed up, they entered Sanshan County and followed the soldiers who were transporting grain to the government office. Li Shiyue went to find the county magistrate to exchange the silver. Li Shiyang took the "Xuan" card and asked the soldier who led them there, then went to the garrison to look for Mr. Chen.
