The mother-in-law sneered in her heart, and her expression became more and more contemptuous.
It's really a small family, and I was frightened by just a few words.
This time, maybe Madam can get her wish, and she can also get a huge benefit!
With this thought in mind, the woman pondered and spoke.
"What our lady means is that walls have ears. No one can guarantee whether this matter will spread. If your boy is let go, it will be leaked. It will not be easy for our lady to get married in the future. Therefore, Madam wants to give Miss, prepare more dowry.
"Although your shop is not big and the business is not good, it is right opposite the academy and is convenient for walking around, so I gave this shop to our lady. Of course, your shop selling steamed buns, pancakes and stir-fried vegetables Fangzi should be taken with him. In addition, give our lady six hundred taels of silver to buy clothes and jewelry.
"If you can do this, then your boy will be released immediately and he will not be an official. Otherwise, our wife will tell the master that your boy will be in jail by then, and your two grandsons who are studying are I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the college."
Before Mrs. Li could say anything, Li Laosan became anxious, "No, you are taking advantage of the situation! You need prescriptions for the shop and six hundred taels of silver? Why don't you go to be a mountaineer? Where's the thief!"
The old woman jumped after being scolded, "Who asked your boy to seduce our young lady? Just give it to me and forget about it. If you don't give it to me, I'll go to court!"
Li Laosan's eyes were blood red with anger, he Honest people are really driven crazy.
The three of them have worked so hard for so long, and the shop has made a total of several hundred taels of silver. Now they have to give everyone not only recipes but also prescriptions.
If you don't give it, your son will go to jail and your nephew's future will be ruined. This is simply too much!
But Mrs. Li stopped her son and asked her mother-in-law, "That's all, there's nothing else, right?"
The woman's tone was wrong when she heard this, but she couldn't guess anything, so she replied: "Yes. , that's all."
"Okay," the old lady pulled her granddaughter back for a few words, and then said, "Lao San, tie her up and gag her!"
Li Lao San was stunned for a moment, then turned around and started ruthlessly He gave the mother-in-law a kick, causing her to fall to the ground.
The mother-in-law still screamed, but her mouth was stuffed with a rag, and then her hands were cut off from behind her back.
Jiayin Dianding ran to the corner of the courtyard and pulled a straw rope. Li Laosan took it and quickly tied the mother-in-law tightly.
After doing this, he asked the old lady, "Mom, why did you tie her up?"
The old lady laughed. There was nothing going on at the moment. Mr. Wen didn't arrive, and Zhao Yuru didn't come back either, so she simply said more. In other words, break the matter into pieces and let your son learn the truth so that he can be more thoughtful in the future.
She took her son to the front shop and told Jiayin, "Fu Niu'er, go sit at the door for a while."
"I got it, grandma." Jiayin ran to guard the door.
At noon in autumn, the sun is still very bright.
There were not many people walking around on the street, but the shops were already busy because classes were about to end in the college.
The Qingshi Street is very clean, and the houses on both sides are antique. Occasionally, a vendor will shout feebly.
If you don't have anything to worry about, this is really a good place to relax.
Jiayin held her chin and looked at the intersection from time to time, but unfortunately her carriage never appeared.
However, after Li Laosan had eaten the reassurance given by his mother, he actually started busy making buns and cooking porridge, planning to continue doing business.
"Fu Niu'er, hang out at the door and go inside to accompany your grandma. Third uncle has to work."
Jiayin blinked his big eyes twice and hurried into the yard.
The old lady was helping to pick vegetables. When her granddaughter came in, she said directly without waiting for her to ask: "Don't worry, your third uncle is not crazy! Your father doesn't know when he will invite Mr. Wen over, so our family must be stable. When doing business, don't let others see the problem. It's best to make the other party confused first, so that our family can do things better."
Jiayin felt relieved, but pouted again and began to think about her brother, "Grandma, they Will you hit my brother? I'm afraid it will hurt him!"
The old lady snorted coldly and scolded: "If he has the courage to cause trouble, he must have the courage to take it upon himself. He deserves to be beaten. He thought he was the most honest child, but he turned out to be bored. If you say anything, you will get into trouble!
"What kind of place is the academy? How dare he do this? Why didn't he think about his family and his brothers who were studying in the academy?" "
That's what she said, but when the old lady picked the green vegetables, she threw the young leaves into the broken basket and the rotten leaves into the basin. It was obvious that she was also thinking about her grandson.
At this time, Zhao Yuru came back in a hurry. In the yard, she couldn't help shouting, "Mom, I found out!
"Don't yell, come and talk! " Mrs. Li called her daughter-in-law to come forward and asked in a low voice: "Is this Mrs. Peng's marriage renewed?" Or does she not want to see her daughter? "
Zhao Yuru nodded and shook her head, anxious Jiayin grabbed her sleeve.
She hugged Jiayin and said excitedly: "Mom, there is no wife in the Peng family at all! Mr. Peng's first wife passed away seven or eight years ago, leaving behind a daughter. Mr. Peng took the youngest daughter of a restaurant owner as his concubine and gave birth to a boy two years ago. It is said that this concubine takes care of the Peng family's backyard.
The old lady also laughed, threw away the food in her hand and cursed: "No wonder that woman has seduction and fornication! " Instead of hiding something like this happened to someone's daughter, she was afraid that what she said was not harsh enough. It was obvious that she didn't respect her own young lady.
"The slaves are watching the master's actions. I guess this concubine is a thorn in the side of his first wife's daughter! What else did the mother-in-law say about her wife, and a concubine deserves to be called madam? Our boy might have been discovered by others a long time ago, and he has always been like this. We're waiting for today!
"You still want our shop and recipe to do the girl's dowry? Bah, this concubine is just stepping on her original daughter-in-law to carry things for her parents' family!"
Zhao Yuru was confused and quickly looked at Li Laosan who was walking over. Li Laosan simply said a few words.
Zhao Yuru gritted her teeth angrily, "That's really it . Lai Toad yawned, what a big mouth!
The old lady waved her hand, "Okay, don't worry, let's do business first. Mr. Wen and Mr. Peng are classmates and friends, so today's matter is not difficult to solve. "
"Our boys don't understand the rules. Their concubines are also at fault for plotting against their legitimate daughters. When our beloved is released, let's ask what's going on and discuss what to do next."
"We listen to mother. !" Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru had a backbone. Although they missed their son, they also put on their aprons and started busy.
Soon, the college had its lunch break, students came out in large numbers, and the shop was immediately packed.
Brother Li came jumping to the shop and was so happy when he saw his grandma and sister.
The old lady ate with her grandson, asked about the school's chores, and then personally sent her grandson to the gate of the college.
Hearing that grandma was staying overnight, Brother Li reluctantly went in.
When the old lady was walking back, she saw a little girl poking her head not far from the shop, so she asked, "Little girl, what's the matter with you?"
As a result, the little girl ran away like a frightened rabbit.
A cold look flashed in the old lady's eyes, and she went back without paying much attention.
After sending away the last student, the academy soon closed its doors and the streets became quiet again.
Li Laosan and his wife were washing dishes and thinking about their son. At this time, Li Laosi and Mr. Wen finally arrived.
