The God of War is killing like crazy
Chapter 32 The tragic fate of the peasant girl (end)
The Li family also found a barefoot doctor to treat their son. When the doctor heard that it was a plague, he was so scared that he didn't even enter the door and ran away.
Old Lady Li had no choice but to go to the town to ask for a doctor, but she had no money. So she went to look for Xu and her family, and then she was chased away by Xu Yimeng.
Now the imperial edict and prescription from the capital had been passed to the town, but Li Laifu could no longer use them because he had died in that dirty and smelly straw shed.
The people in the town continued their normal lives. The plague was about to end, but everyone who took the free medicine that day suffered from severe abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea.
The local authorities knew that the prescription was given by Si Ying because they had received word from their superiors, so they invited Si Ying to take a look at the situation.
Si Ying found the medicine residue and said, "The dosage of this medicine is wrong, and two of the herbs used are moldy and old waste medicine."
So the authorities investigated and found out that the drug dealers were selling inferior products as good ones in order to make a profit but did not want to be discovered.
Just as the government was about to send people to arrest them, they heard a report from below that the drug dealer's house was broken into by refugees, and the drug dealer and his wife were beaten to death. Then the entire house was burned down by the refugees.
The refugees knew that it was the drug dealer who did it. Of course, it was Si Ying who asked someone to tell someone, because that drug dealer was the one who bought the original owner's brother. The couple bought the original owner's brother and didn't treat him well. They even poisoned and killed him for fame. They were so vicious that they deserved to die.
Si Ying was just deceiving them and wanted to buy that kind of medicinal materials at a high price. So they thought of passing off inferior products as good ones and selling as many medicinal materials as possible to Si Ying, and thus they fell into Si Ying's trap. It would be more accurate to say that it was their greed that harmed them rather than Si Ying.
The Li family had money after selling the widow Zhang and her son, but old man Li was in a dilemma. He wanted to send his eldest grandson Li Tiezhu to school, but his youngest grandson Li Tieniu was already ten years old and also wanted to go to school. The Li family had so little money, so who should he support?
Soon, the Li family started to split up again. This time, no matter what he said, it was of no use. The two sons were determined to split up the family for the sake of their own sons. In the end, the silver was divided into three parts, and the remaining land was also divided into three parts. The Li family was completely divided and became a joke in Xiaowa Village. However, his family had been quite embarrassing in recent years, and the villagers gradually got used to it.
Li Tiezhu returned to the city academy to study. The eldest son rented out the land, and the couple went to farm for other families to make money. With the money that old man Li secretly gave him, Li Tiezhu still lived a very carefree life in the academy and was not affected by family affairs at all.
Old man Li secretly gave money to the first wife, and the third wife's family guessed it. After all, Li Tiezhu was older, and old man Li was counting on him to pass the exam so that he could enjoy a comfortable life in the future. However, his grandson Li Tieniu was too young, and he didn't know whether he would be alive or not after he passed the exam.
However, what Old Man Li did not expect was that two years later, Li Tiezhu and Li Tieniu took the examination for children at the same time. As a result, Li Tiezhu failed, but Li Tieniu did, although he was ranked last.
Old man Li regretted it very much. He chose his eldest grandson, which also meant he gave up on his youngest son's family. In the past two years, the relationship between the two families has gradually deteriorated and has reached the point where they have no contact with each other until they die.
Now that his twelve-year-old grandson has passed the imperial examination, he should have enjoyed the envy and praise of the villagers, but he has cut off all contact with his youngest son's family.
Now he has become a joke in the village again.
Old lady Li was always complaining in my ears, but she was determined to take good care of her youngest son's family, as she might become the grandmother of a juren in the future.
Old Lady Li acted like she was the one who agreed to help his eldest son without her. Old Man Li was so angry that he wanted to hit her again, but he was old and couldn't do it anymore, so he simply ignored Old Lady Li.
However, this time, Old Man Li was completely disappointed with his eldest grandson. He had spent money to support his eldest grandson's studies in the town over the years, but he ended up doing worse in the exams than his younger grandson who was in the private school next door. Old Man Li was disheartened and stopped giving money to Li Tiezhu.
In recent years, Li Tiezhu has become accustomed to a life of lavish spending. He even went to brothels and gambling houses with a few questionable students.
That day he was out of money again, so he went back to ask Old Man Li for it. This time Old Man Li refused to give him any money and asked him to come back from the town and work in the fields. Li Tiezhu refused to do that, so he started arguing with Old Man Li in the yard.
As a result, he accidentally pushed Old Man Li to the ground, and he didn't know where the impact was on his head. A lot of blood flowed out immediately. Old Man Li died in anger and disbelief.
He was killed by his most beloved grandson.
Because there was a fierce quarrel in the yard before, some villagers heard it and came to watch the excitement, and then saw someone dead. They were all shocked, and some ran to the village chief's house. Li Tiezhu wanted to run, but so many people were watching him that he couldn't run away. In the end, the village chief reported him to the police and arrested him.
The eldest wife and husband of the Li family were completely devastated. A few years ago, their eldest daughter was beaten to death by her in-laws, leaving two lives. They went to their house to make a fuss but were driven out. Now their son was taken away again. They had no hope for the rest of their lives. So after their son was taken to the vegetable market to be beheaded, the couple took their son's body back, bought medicine, and committed suicide by taking poison.
Only Old Lady Li was left, and she was taken in to be taken care of by her youngest son. The third family hastily buried Old Man Li and the first family, thanks to the village chief's promise to give Old Man Li and the first family's land to his family.
The third family planned to tighten their belts to continue to support their son's studies, but unfortunately Li Tieniu stopped there and never passed the exam again. He was not even a scholar, and in the end he could only come down to farm.
In the second year after the plague ended, when spring came and flowers bloomed, Si Ying took her family to the south.
She had previously gone out on the Canglan Sword to investigate and found that the Jiangnan water town had extremely beautiful scenery and was suitable for retirement.
But she was not in a hurry and walked very slowly. She took Xu and the others to travel around the mountains and rivers, and they were very comfortable. After seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers, the mother and daughter naturally had a greater change in their state of mind.
She brought Xu, her elder sister Xu Yimeng and her younger brother Xu Yian to a provincial capital in the south of the Yangtze River.
The two maids had already married and did not come with them. They just met by chance and when their fate was over, they parted ways.
Si Ying chose this place not only because of the beautiful scenery, but also because the former prefect of Puzhou was promoted to be an official here. When he heard that Si Ying was coming to Jiangnan, he took the initiative to invite Si Ying here. With someone to protect her, Si Ying was naturally happy to do so.
Moreover, this place is very close to the capital city, and is a Feng Shui treasured place.
Si Ying plans to go back to her old business and open a clinic.
She bought a very well-built courtyard, planning to use the front as a clinic and the back as a living quarters. There was also a large yard in the middle that could be used to dry herbs and for the family to practice martial arts.
In recent years, Si Ying has taught her elder sister Xu Yimeng how to read, keep accounts, and manage the clinic, and she also has the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.
So soon, she won the admiration of the eldest son of the prefect's family. As they got along with each other, they gradually developed feelings for each other and finally got married.
The only small episode was that the prefect's wife disliked her for her humble background and older age, but after meeting Xu Yimeng, who was polite, generous and decent, she liked her very much. Her whole temperament was as if she came from the capital. She also heard that her sister was rewarded by the emperor for her contribution to controlling the plague, so she immediately agreed.
After marriage, she discovered that her daughter-in-law was actually a good housekeeper and was more thoughtful than her. She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and boasted to everyone that she had found a treasure.
Xu was also very satisfied. She did not look for a good man again, but quietly looked after her daughters and the clinic, watching Xu Yian grow up. She felt that her current life was very comfortable and happy.
Xu Yian also entered the best local academy. Because of Si Ying's teaching since childhood, he was naturally not bad. He soon passed the examination to become a student, then a scholar, and finally the palace examination, and was the number one scholar appointed by the emperor. Later, he and his brother-in-law entered the court as officials.
Si Ying fulfilled the original owner's wish and left quietly, although she was a little reluctant.
……
When the news that Xu Yian had become the top scholar reached Xiaowa Village, the villagers all sighed. If Xu and her family had not left Xiaowa Village, then this would have been the top scholar from their village. Upon hearing this, Li Laosan and Li Tieniu said nothing, but swung the hoes in their hands even harder.
At the Li family, the dishevelled old lady Li sat in front of a dilapidated thatched shed, staring into the distance with cloudy eyes, muttering: "The No. 1 scholar is my grandson, and I am the No. 1 scholar's grandmother..."
