A farmer's daughter travels through time, farming and dividing the family to fight for the best
Chapter 76 Stealing Rabbits (1)
"Dad, I know what you want to say. You think your uncle is educated and can pass the exam, but have you ever thought about this? It takes three days to get from here to the provincial capital by car, plus food and lodging. Your uncle actually wants to borrow sixty taels of silver. Why did he borrow so much silver?"
"Your uncle said he would take care of it..." Li Dahai tried hard to recall what Li Dajiang said. After repeating it again, he seemed to realize that something was wrong.
"Dad, you've thought about it, right? The imperial examination is the most fair and just. The so-called arrangement is to bribe the examiner, which is cheating. If he is caught, not only will he never be able to take the imperial examination again, but his title as a scholar will also be revoked. You are not helping him, you are harming him." Li Xiaoxiao carefully analyzed the pros and cons for him. Seeing Li Dahai lost in thought, the corners of her mouth rose. She didn't plan to tell her father about the last time she saw Li Dajiang visiting a brothel in the county town, so as to avoid her father suspecting that she didn't want to borrow money and framed Li Dajiang.
After thinking for a while, Li Dahai said hesitantly, "If you want more, lend some to your uncle."
Li Xiaoxiao was about to go crazy. No matter how much he said, he still couldn't change his mind.
"I won't lend him a penny. If you have money, you can lend it to him. I have no objection." After saying that, he turned and left.
"Hey, Xiaoxiao." Seeing that her daughter was angry, Sun wanted to stop her.
Li Dahai sighed heavily. He understood what his daughter said, but this was after all related to the future of the Li family and the expectation of his parents.
"We can't lend Dahai this money. It will disappoint our daughter." Seeing that they were unhappy, Sun became anxious. Their family went from having nothing in the beginning to having a house and a field now, all of which were earned by Xiaoxiao alone. She has given so much to this family and never complained. Now that Xiaoxiao disagrees to lend the money, she stands on her daughter's side.
Li Xiaoxiao had dinner in her room, and Li Dahai took a few bites and put it down.
"Dad, I don't want to lend money to uncle either." Li Ruolan took the initiative to speak, which was rare. She was not favoring anyone. Since they separated, no matter how difficult life was, their family was always happy. This was the first time they had a meal separately.
Li Dahai was a little surprised. Even his eldest daughter, who usually spoke very little, disagreed. Was he really wrong?
Li Xiaoxiao came out of the room angrily. Li Dajiang was simply stubborn. Since she couldn't convince him, she didn't bother talking to him. The money was in her hands anyway. If she didn't lend it to him, Li Dajiang couldn't snatch it away by force.
She accidentally looked up at the rabbit cage in the distance, and her brows gradually twisted into a "川" shape. She clearly remembered that there were six rabbits. Sun said that she killed one for lunch, but why are there still three now? Where did the other two go?
When Sun was called in to ask, she was also puzzled. The door of the house was always closed, so the rabbit could not have run away, and no outsiders had come in.
"Mom, think about it carefully, is there anything wrong?" The door was closed, so how could the two rabbits disappear for no reason?
Sun tried hard to recall that after lunch in the afternoon, Li Chengcai and Li Xiaobao left first. At that time, she and Li Ruolan were cleaning up in the kitchen and did not come out to see. Later, when Li Jiaojiao left with Li Dajiang, she and Li Dahai saw them off together, so the most likely ones were Li Xiaobao and Li Chengcai.
It was definitely them. Li Xiaoxiao was just worried that she had no place to vent her anger. They brought this upon themselves, so don't blame her for being rude.
Li Xiaoxiao came to the old house as fast as she could. Jiang was watching her little daughter Niuniu. Seeing her coming towards them aggressively, she thought of the rabbit meat stewing in the pot and tried to close the door in a panic. However, Li Xiaoxiao could not let her do what she wanted. She pressed the door tightly and said, "Aunt Si, why did you close the door when you saw me coming? Don't you want me to come in?"
"Look at what you said. I wasn't afraid that Niuniu would run away. I didn't know you were coming." Jiang lied with her eyes open and laughed.
"Oh, that's what I told you." Li Xiaoxiao pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as she entered, she smelled the smell of fried meat in the air. There was also a wild rabbit in a cage in the corner of the yard. The wild rabbit's fur was gray, and the rabbits raised at home were all white, so they could be recognized at a glance.
The Li family raised rabbits a few years ago, but later Mrs. Li disliked the strong smell and stopped raising them. The extra rabbits in the house were undoubtedly stolen from her house.
"Aunt Four, where are Li Xiaobao and Li Chengcai? They took two rabbits from my house this afternoon, and I'm here to ask them for money." Li Xiaoxiao didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
Hearing the noise, Li Dajiang's wife Liu came out. The last time she saw Li Xiaoxiao was during the Chinese New Year. At that time, she was dressed in rags, was thin, and was dirty all day long. She often played with boys, had a rude temper, and was picky and strong-willed. Compared with her daughter, she was like heaven and earth.
When I saw her again today, she had changed a lot. First of all, her clothes were clean and tidy, she had gained some weight, and she looked much prettier. Her expression and behavior were graceful, confident and low-key. If I hadn't watched her grow up since she was a child, I wouldn't have believed that she was the same person.
Liu's thoughts turned over and over, and then she said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao is here, come in and sit down. Auntie has been missing you for a long time, but she didn't want you to come over."
Li Xiaoxiao's deepest impression of her aunt is that she is a smiling woman with a dagger hidden behind her back. She says one thing in front of you and another behind your back. She is a good match for Li Dajiang. This is the kind of person she dislikes the most. But it doesn't matter. They have separated and the family can't disgust her.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Since she is willing to perform, just cooperate with her.
"Aunt, I've missed you for a long time too, but you've lived in the county town for many years, and our family doesn't know where you live. We would like to go see you, but we have to find a place." Li Xiaoxiao said regretfully.
"Haha." Liu smiled awkwardly, "I neglected it. Next time I'll take you all with me. It will be more lively."
"That's not necessary. We have separated, so we are no longer one family. I came here to ask Li Chengcai and Li Xiaobao for money. They took the two fattest rabbits in my family, each weighing eight catties, which adds up to sixteen catties. I sell rabbits in the county for eight cents per catty, which is one hundred and twenty-eight cents. You are not outsiders, so give me one hundred and twenty cents."
Li Xiaoxiao acted friendly and said that the rabbit they stole was taken. If they said they stole it, why would they ask for money? The rabbit had been chopped up and stewed in the pot, so she didn't want it.
"Xiaoxiao, you are just kids playing around. Why don't you eat here? The meal is ready." Liu coughed lightly and forced a smile. Girls really change a lot when they grow up. When did this girl become so eloquent?
Li Xiaoxiao looked at Liu carefully for a while, which made Liu feel uneasy, and then she spoke slowly.
