A farmer's daughter travels through time, farming and dividing the family to fight for the best
Chapter 38 Brother Tiger
Wang Dahu was none other than Brother Hu who robbed Sun’s things in the county town that day.
That afternoon, Brother Hu called four thugs and went to Li's house to ask for money.
Old Lady Li wanted to lose her temper, but when she saw that Wang Dahu came with four other men, her arrogance immediately subsided, and she could only say dryly, "Nephew, the ritual was not completed yesterday, and I also gave your mother one or two taels of silver. You see, otherwise, this matter..."
"Old woman, stop talking about useless things. I'm here to ask for money today. Just decide whether you want to give it to me or not." Wang Dahu was not someone to be trifled with. He sat down on the main seat.
"It's really difficult for our family. My eldest son is a scholar who is studying in the county town. He wants to take the exam to become a high-ranking official, so our family is not well off." Old Lady Li had to bring out her eldest son, whom she was so proud of.
How could Wang Dahu listen to her words?
"You don't have money? Why are you hiring a fortune teller if you don't have money? My mother was almost beaten by that woman yesterday. You must give me money today." Wang Dahu slammed the table arrogantly. Old Mrs. Li trembled with fear. Li Laosi next to her didn't dare to say anything. Li Laosi was a ruffian in the village and a coward when he met outsiders.
At that time, he asked the fortune teller and the agreed amount was four taels of silver. After discussing with the fortune teller, he decided to take one tael of silver as a commission, so he said five taels of silver. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Seeing Wang Dahu coming to ask for money, he was very anxious, but he didn't dare to tell his mother about the money. He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.
Li Laosi had heard of Brother Hu's name. He was a well-known gangster in the county. He didn't dare to offend him too much. He thought for a long time before speaking hesitantly.
"Brother Hu, we did agree on a price with Goddess Wang. We asked Goddess Wang to come because my niece was possessed by a fox demon and her mind was blinded. My niece is rich. She just hunted two wolves two days ago and sold them for dozens of taels. We originally planned to subdue the fox demon and she would be grateful and give us money. But we didn't do it. We really don't have money. You can go and ask her for it."
When Brother Hu heard about selling two wolves, he immediately became interested. This ritual was originally performed for her, and it was reasonable for her to pay the money. So what if she knew kung fu? He brought four people with him today, and even with five grown men like him, they couldn't beat a little girl.
Seeing Brother Hu's expression, Li Laosi knew that this matter was going to happen, and flattered him, "Brother Hu is mighty and domineering. My niece dare not act presumptuously in front of you. If she really gets the money from her, the reputation of the witch can be restored. In addition, the witch was frightened yesterday, and you brought the brothers here from afar, so she must give the money to the witch, and buy wine for the brothers."
After hearing these words, Brother Hu felt much better and immediately asked Li Laosi to lead the way.
Li Laosi nodded and bowed in response.
When they were almost at Li Xiaoxiao's house, Li Laosi stopped. Having been beaten yesterday, he didn't dare to provoke her again. He pointed to a thatched hut not far ahead. That was it.
Looking at the simple thatched hut, Brother Hu was a little skeptical that he could have the money to live in it.
After getting an affirmative answer from Li Laosi, he walked towards Li Xiaoxiao's house.
Li Xiaoxiao had just finished washing clothes at the riverside. When she turned around, she saw several adult men walking straight towards her house, all of them looking nonchalant.
No need to guess, you know it's the Li family's doing again. Great, they're treating her like a soft persimmon. The Li family better not let her get hold of anything, otherwise...
Seeing that they were almost reaching the straw hut, Li Xiaoxiao ran a few steps and blocked their way.
"What are you going to do?" Li Xiaoxiao put down the wooden basin in his hand and gently patted the slight creases on his body from squatting for a long time. His tone was calm and he was not afraid at all because of their large number.
The new clothes she wore today were a pink skirt. Li Ruolan had made it with great craftsmanship, fine stitching and a perfect fit. She was already pretty, and after putting on the new clothes, she looked even better than Li Jiaojiao, even without any makeup.
Brother Hu fell in love with her at first sight. He didn't expect that such a beautiful girl could be raised in this remote area. This girl was really brave. She was not afraid at all in front of several grown men like them. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she looked.
Li Xiaoxiao was also looking at him. Brother Hu, who had robbed Sun's food in the county town, what was he doing here? Was he here to take revenge? So many days had passed.
It took Brother Hu a while to remember.
"It's you." Last time, this girl was dressed like a beggar and I almost didn't recognize her. She just changed into ordinary new clothes, but she looked so beautiful. It was unbelievable.
"It's me, what do you want to do?" Li Xiaoxiao asked again, while calculating in her mind how likely she would be to win if she took action.
Brother Hu just remembered the purpose of his coming here, but after seeing Li Xiaoxiao, he changed his mind temporarily. Although the last incident made him lose face, his body was fine afterwards and he was the same as usual, so he was not too angry and did not want to seek revenge on Li Xiaoxiao.
"Here's what happened." Brother Hu lowered his voice, trying to keep his tone calm and gentle.
Faced with Brother Hu's sudden change, the four people who came with him looked at each other in surprise as if they had seen a ghost.
"The one who performed the ritual for you yesterday was my mother. She is a famous witch in the county with great magical powers. The Li family asked my mother to perform the ritual for five taels of silver each time. One tael was paid as a deposit in advance, and another four taels were paid after the ritual was completed. But the Li family said they didn't have the silver, and that the ritual was performed for you, so the rest of the silver should be paid by you."
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone so shameless. The Li family hired a fortune teller, who said that she was possessed by a fox demon and that they were going to deal with her, and she had to pay the money.
Are there the words "big victim" written on her face?
"So, you are here to ask me for money?" Li Xiaoxiao asked with a fake smile.
Brother Hu was stunned, then he realized something was wrong.
"Our family was driven out by the Li family, and this is where we live." Li Xiaoxiao pointed to a thatched hut not far behind him.
"The relationship between our two families is like fire and water. The Li family has come to my house to make trouble many times, and they regard me as a thorn in their eyes. They finally risked their lives to hunt two wolves in exchange for some silver, and then they found ways to ask for the silver. I am a good person, but they insisted that I was possessed by a fox demon and asked a witch to deal with me, and they also wanted me to pay them. How can this be justified? Also, I gave the silver I earned from selling the wolf that day to the people who helped build the house to buy materials. Everyone in the village knows about this, and they still ask you to come to me to ask for money. What can I give you?" Li Xiaoxiao stopped there.
Sure enough, Brother Hu's face changed immediately after hearing this. He finally realized what was wrong. The damn Li family actually used him as a gun.
He immediately returned in a furious manner.
Li Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. If she really fought, she probably wouldn't be able to beat them. The last time in the county town, it was because Brother Hu underestimated the enemy, so she had the chance to win with one move. It probably wouldn't be useful if it happened again.
When Brother Hu arrived at Lijia, he slapped Li Laosi in the face. Li Laosi covered his slapped face, but dared not say a word.
Mrs. Li felt sorry for her son being beaten, but she didn't dare to do anything to Brother Hu. "Why did you hit him? Let's talk it out."
"Humph, you old Li family are really courageous. You dare to use me as a gun." Brother Hu had a fierce look on his face and sat down directly on the main seat.
Old man Li knew that this matter would not end well today.
