After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

"My dear, I think what you said is true. I will go to look for Yun Tao tomorrow. If you want me to go, you have to give me more money. Otherwise, I won't go."

"Besides, the Yuntao family has so much money, so adding a little bit won't be a problem."

The two of them kept discussing tomorrow's affairs and did not go to bed until very late.

The next day, Li Ji went to Yuntao's house immediately after breakfast.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of Yuntao's house and before I even went in, I was stunned by the door. Oh my god, why didn't I notice it before? The door of Yuntao's house is particularly famous in the city. It must have cost at least several thousand taels of silver.

It's all about money. Li Ji wanted to pull the door off the wall.

After looking for a long time, Li Ji finally realized why he came to see Yun Tao today.

Immediately bang bang bang bang bang...

After knocking on the door for a while, someone finally opened it.

The lady recognized the person in front of her. Isn't this Li Ji from the village? "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Although the lady knew him, they had never spoken to each other, so she still didn't know him very well. But she had heard about Li Ji's reputation, saying that he liked to take advantage of others. But he worked very hard in the workshop, and she hadn't discovered any other major problems.

Li Ji said with a flattering smile, "Lady, I came to talk to your mother about something."

The lady guessed it all, but she still wanted to ask.

"come in."

This was Li Ji's first time to Yun Tao's house. He had always walked around outside the house before and had no idea what was inside. He had even only been to Zhang San's house once, but it was much better than his own home.

But this time when Li Ji entered Yun Tao's house, he found that it was much better than Zhang San's house. It was so luxurious that it was beyond description. Li Ji hated himself for being uneducated and uneducated. He didn't know what words to use to describe Yun Tao's house.

As soon as Li Ji entered the room, he immediately looked around. The lady was used to seeing Li Ji's expression. After all, when she first met him, her expression was no less expressive than Li Ji's.

The house was indeed well decorated, and the furniture was well made. Some of the furniture might not even be found in the capital. Even the dressing table in my room was something I had never seen before.

I have also seen it in the city, but I have never seen this one.

Seeing that Li Ji hadn't said anything, the lady immediately said to him, "Sit here for a while. I'll go call my mother."

Li Ji nodded stupidly.

His eyes were always moving around, looking at the furnishings around him.

Li Ji was thinking even more that he must go to the imperial capital.

Only by going to the imperial capital can I build a big house like Yuntao's family, and I can also be proud of myself in the village.

Yun Tao soon came in front of Li Ji.

Yuntao had seen this person before, but was not familiar with him. Yuntao was not very familiar with many people in the village.

The original person was a socially anxious person, and her mother-in-law was very timid. She was afraid to say or ask many things.

Moreover, there are differences between men and women, and I have indeed never spoken to Li Ji.

"I heard from the lady that you are looking for me. Is there something?"

Yun Tao also said directly,

"Actually, it's nothing. I just heard people in the village say that you want someone to go to the capital, right?"

"Yes, let's go to the imperial capital, but there are certain risks. I can't guarantee that nothing will happen to you. I'm sure you've heard about Erniu's incident."

Li Ji nodded.

"The salary is 5 taels of silver per month, including food and accommodation. Of course, there are still benefits. If you need to go back to the village for something, I will still reimburse the round-trip fare."

Li Ji was very satisfied after hearing what Yun Tao said, but he felt that the salary was a little too little.

He immediately said to Yun Tao, "Boss, I think this amount of silver is a little short. Even if there is danger, I still have to pay 5 taels of silver a month. At least 10 taels of silver should be given."

The lady was very unhappy when she heard Li Ji mention the 10 taels of silver.

Just as he was about to speak, Yun Tao stopped him with a look.

"The dangers I mentioned may not necessarily exist. It's just that when you go out, no one can guarantee that they will be safe. I can't even guarantee that Yun'er is safe."

"Also, you may not know the wages in the imperial capital. The average waiter only gets two or three taels of silver. In fact, it's not as much as you think. I wonder if you have any misunderstandings about the monthly salary."

"There is no misunderstanding, but I think the money is a little insufficient if we want to go to the imperial capital."

The lady immediately said, "Brother, my mother paid for our food and accommodation. If you knew that these two things were provided, it would be very cost-effective in the capital. If I were you, I would be very happy."

The lady said very proudly.

Li Ji didn't care.

"Boss, what do you think? I can go to the imperial capital with you for 10 taels of silver a month."

"Do you know how to fight?"

Yun Tao looked Li Ji up and down.

Li Ji was skinny and looked malnourished, and he didn't look like someone who knew kung fu at all.

Li Ji said embarrassedly,

"I really can't do it, but even though I'm skinny, I still have a lot of strength."

"I am thin, but I have muscles."

After Li Ji finished speaking, he went to Yun Tao to show off his muscles. Although he was wearing clothes, his muscles were still visible.

Yuntao didn't care. Everyone in the village was strong. How could someone who didn't have the strength to work in the fields?

"The work in the imperial capital is not that hard. Generally, the salary is only 5 taels of silver. If you know some martial arts, it's 10 taels of silver. There's nothing to say about it."

Yuntao didn't want to waste time with the person in front of her.

Li Ji was unwilling in his heart, but he did not dare to offend Yun Tao. "Boss, you can't find anyone in the village, so I am willing to go to the capital with you. After all, we are from the same village, so I am still at ease for you to use me. I work very hard in the workshop."

"You will definitely not lose out if you give me 10 taels of silver."

Yun Tao looked at Li Ji and asked, "How many words do you know?"

When Li Ji heard this, he was devastated. He had no chance of success. He had forgotten that he had to learn to read in a big city like the imperial capital. He was illiterate and had no education. It seemed that his 10 taels of silver would be wasted.

As soon as Yun Tao saw Li Jiyan's unimpressive look, she knew that the guy in front of her could do nothing except enthusiastically asking her for 10 taels of silver as a monthly salary.

"Li Ji, you'd better work in the workshop in the village. The imperial capital is not suitable for you. You must be able to read in the imperial capital. The youngest son of the village, Li Xu, can read and write, and he also earns 5 taels of silver a month."

Li Ji looked at Yun Tao, who was rich but unkind. His family was so rich, but he was unwilling to give her even 10 taels of silver a month. If this wasn't being rich and unkind, what was?

Li Jiqiang pretended to be angry inside and left, but he still smiled on the surface.

As the saying goes, smiling on the surface but cursing behind the scenes, this is what people like Li Ji are like.

Li Ji was furious when he returned home.

As soon as You Shi saw Li Ji's expression, she knew that the matter had not been settled.

"Okay, don't be angry. If it's not agreed, then it's not agreed. Why be sad? In the village, the two of us can get 4 taels of silver a month. I am satisfied, so don't be sad anymore."

"Humph, we two paid several hundred taels of silver as compensation before. You know how much silver we have now. I am doing this for the good of this family."
