Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 769 Is this considered family?

The old man kept kowtowing and talking non-stop.

"Please, daughter-in-law, please let Lili marry Mr. Li. Mr. Li promised to provide us with pension money and arrange a job for our second son.

This is a job in the county, a stable job. With a stable job, our Wei family will have hope. Just agree to it. If you don't agree, I won't get up..."

Liu Fang shook her head desperately.

"Dad, I can't agree to this. Lili is my only daughter and the only bloodline left by Deguang. I can't watch my daughter die. I can't do this..."

The old woman turned over and sat up. She had been crying for so long but not a single tear shed. The old man took the opportunity to stand up. After all, they were a family and cooperated very well.

"Liu Fang, you son of a bitch, my son was killed by you and this money-loser. This is what you and your mother owe to our Wei family, you have to pay it back to us."

Liu Fang gritted her teeth and said,

"Mom, what do we owe you? You took away Deguang's pension as soon as it was received. And what about Deguang's allowance? Have we ever seen a penny of it?"

Lili has been working since she was six years old, what do we owe you?"

"Don't you owe me anything?" the old lady slapped her thigh.

"I went through so much hardship carrying a baby for ten months, but you killed the son I gave birth to. Don't you think you should pay me compensation?"

"Mom, are you being reasonable? Why do you say that your son was killed by us?"

The old lady glared at the mother and daughter fiercely.

"I tell you, Liu Fang, Xiaoli has to marry you today, whether she wants to or not. I have already agreed to accept the 200 yuan betrothal gift. If you want me to return it, there is no way.

The boy surnamed Li will be here to give the betrothal gifts soon. You two should accept all the gifts honestly. Except for the new clothes worn by the money-loser, you must leave the rest to me!"

Liu Fang fell to her knees, crying and howling.

"Oh my god, aren't you forcing us both to die?"

The young man pretended to help Liu Fang.

"Sister-in-law, don't listen to what others say. The boy from the Li family is a good person. His previous wife ran away with someone else because she disliked his lameness.

Don't worry, after Lili gets married, she will have a good life and give birth to a big fat boy for the Li family in two years. Do you think the Li family will treat her badly?

Lili's father-in-law is the county magistrate of our county. If Lili marries him, who will dare to look down on our Wei family in the future? "

The old man nodded and said,

"Yes, daughter-in-law, what the second brother said makes sense. A woman will eventually get married, so it doesn't matter who she lives with."

Liu Fang hugged her daughter and kowtowed repeatedly. She was becoming more and more desperate.

Cheng Yuntian was reluctant to step forward to dissuade them. They were all family members, and he had no way to persuade them.

At this moment, a group of people blowing trumpets came over, and the villagers who were blocking the door turned around to look.

An old woman who was as thin as a paper man, wearing a red coat, waving a fan in her hand, with a black mole as big as a soybean on her face, and two hairs growing on the mole. The way she was dressed, she looked like a matchmaker.

Behind the matchmaker, there was a limping man with messy hair. He looked to be in his forties or fifties. This was Li Zixiong, also known as Li Cripple in the underworld.

The matchmaker swayed with every step. She glanced at the crowd and found that only Cheng Yuntian was the most handsome. She couldn't help but flirt with him, almost making the crowd vomit.

Li Quezi had polio when he was a child. One of his legs was paralyzed and he had to drag it along. He proudly greeted the onlookers, but no one paid any attention to him.

Li Quezi was a bad person from the very beginning. Before liberation, he relied on his family's wealth to indulge in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and had already lost his health.

Li Tianping had no descendants except this son, so he gave Li Quezi a strict order that as long as Li Quezi could leave him a descendant, he would not care about what Li Quezi did in the future.

Li Quezi was overjoyed when he heard this, so he went to find a fortune teller in front of Guandi Temple and asked him to tell his fortune. However, in order to cheat him out of his money, the fortune teller told him to find a 14-year-old girl who was born at the hour of Chou on the 25th day of the sixth lunar month. This girl would give him children and bring him good fortune.

Li Quezi was half-believing and half-doubting, so he went to find the fortune tellers nearby to tell his fortune. It turned out that these people were from the same group. They had just heard his fortune. This time, in order to deceive him, the four fortune tellers said the same thing.

With Li Quezi's intelligence, it was as easy to deceive him as to deceive a four or five-year-old child. Li Quezi believed it to be true. The four fortune tellers had no idea that they had actually harmed a child, which triggered a series of deaths.

Li Quezi was also a little clever. While he was sending people to look for her, he went to the Household Registration Section of the County Public Security Bureau, which had the information of all the people in the county.

The deputy director of the county public security bureau personally accompanied them. The people from the household registration department searched for three days and found that there was only one girl in the county who was 14 years old and was born at the hour of Chou on the 25th day of the sixth lunar month. She was Wei Mingli, the daughter of the martyr Wei Deguang.

When Li Quezi heard that she was the daughter of a martyr, he was overjoyed. His father had originally disagreed because she was a fourteen-year-old girl, but when he heard that she was the child of a martyr, he had no objection.

Because such a background would bring him great help, as expected, Li Gongping agreed immediately when he heard that she was the daughter of a martyr.

Moreover, he praised Li Quezi for the first time in his life, which made Li Quezi believe in the fortune-telling even more.

As soon as Li Quezi entered the Wei family's yard, his eyes never left Wei Mingli. Although Wei Mingli was thin, she was pretty and beautiful.

This made Li Quezi salivate.

The matchmaker twisted her slender waist and took the thick stack of money from Li Quezi's hand. She spat on her fingers twice and began to check the money.

The people in the Wei family were all stunned. They had never seen so much money before. When they thought that the money would belong to them soon, the old man in the Wei family almost pouting with excitement, and the old lady was drooling.

The second son of her family was not much better. In his eyes, the money had become a woman to marry. When he thought of women, he couldn't help but drool...

The matchmaker checked the money twice, then patted her hands and said triumphantly,

"I say, Old Man Wei, Aunt Wang, I have been a matchmaker for so many years, but I have never seen such a generous in-law. Your granddaughter will enjoy a good life in the future, and you two old people will enjoy it too.

Hurry up and accept the betrothal gifts, the marriage is settled!"

The old woman laughed and stepped forward to grab the money. She was so happy holding the thick wad of money.

"It's settled, it's settled!"

The old woman was so happy that she was foaming at the corners of her mouth. This made the second son very anxious. He hurriedly pulled at the corner of his mother's clothes.

The old woman was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening. She quickly asked,

"Uncle Sun, now that our marriage is settled, what about your second uncle's job?"

Li Quezi curled his lips and waved his hand.

"No problem. After we get married, I'll let my second uncle work at our county paper mill and let him drive!"

This made the second brother so happy that he almost kowtowed and called him godfather...
