Of course they felt distressed when Wei Dajun broke his leg, but compared to the loss of his family, this was already the best outcome.
The elders and villagers in the village were willing to help them make decisions and help Wei Dajun correct his bad habits. They were only grateful and had no resentment.
The villagers surrounded them when they went out, especially the women, who spoke to comfort them.
After everyone turned off the lights and went to sleep, the noisy night finally passed.
Originally, Li Laoer, Liu Biaotou and others thought that Zhang Jin from Xiaowangzhuang would have to wait for a few days even if he wanted to inquire about the news.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jin didn't know whether he was innocent and confident, or he was forced by the casino, but he actually found the village the next afternoon.
At the entrance of the village, Li Yong's house is building a courtyard, and people are coming and going in full swing.
Zhang Jin randomly picked up a man and asked, "Brother, how do you get to Wei Dajun's house?"
The man was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Jin's deer-headed eyes, and didn't look like a good guy, so he frowned and asked, "You are Where did you come from? What do you want to do with Wei Dajun?"
Zhang Jin quickly smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, I'm from Xiaowangzhuang, we are a family."
Sure enough, when the man heard that he was from Xiaowangzhuang, his face changed. With a defensive look, he smiled and said, "That is indeed a family! You go straight in. The last row of houses, the second house from the east, is Wei Dajun's house."
"Okay, brother. I'll leave first, then. Let's have a drink later!"
Zhang Jin said hello and left, with a flash of disdain in his eyes.
People outside say how powerful the people in Broken Gold Beach are, but in fact they are just a bunch of idiots, and they are too easy to deceive.
Little did he know that as soon as he turned his head, the whole village would know that he, the weasel, had entered the village, and hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at her.
It's hard to say who is easy to deceive!
Wei Dajun had a broken leg. He was in so much pain last night that he couldn't sleep a wink. Now he drank medicine and ate.
But when the children at home were studying and the daughter-in-law went to work, he was left lying on the kang with a urinal next to him for company. Not to mention how miserable it was.
Seeing Zhang Jin walking in, he wanted to get up, but he groaned in pain and lay down again.
Zhang Jin hurriedly stepped forward to help him and asked in a low voice, "Brother Wei, what's wrong with you? Didn't you make an appointment to go to the city to pay back the money today?"
Wei Dajun's forehead was in pain and there were big beads of sweat. He cursed, "Don't mention it, it's really unlucky! Last night, the village paid out wages, and my family got three taels of silver. I just wanted to go find you and go to the city early today.
" I didn't expect to take a shortcut over the mountain and fell down. Went down. Fortunately, there were patrols in the village, otherwise I would have had to lie in the mountains all night. "
Zhang Jin opened the quilt and took a look. Wei Dajun's injured leg was swollen and there was blood on the bandage.
It was really hurt!
Zhang Jin secretly scolded him for being useless, but he had an embarrassed look on his face. Said, "What can we do? If you don't pay back the money today, I'm afraid the casino will come to your house!
"No, no! " Wei Dajun was frightened and quickly pulled his hand and begged, "Brother Zhang, please help me. You must beg for mercy on my behalf." "
As he spoke, he took out a money bag from under the mattress.
"Here are all the wages I paid yesterday. Brother Zhang will help me bring them to the casino. I will be given a two-month reprieve. The village chief said that more than 5,000 taels of fruit were sold on the mountain, and our family would get at least 100 taels, and we would definitely pay off all our gambling debts by then. Zhang
Jin's eyes lit up, he tossed his money bag and said, "As you know, the casino is worried that business is not booming." After you recover from your injury, bring a few more guests over, and maybe the manager will be happy and forgive all your gambling debts. "
Wei Dajun seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and quickly responded, "Okay, okay, I'm healed, and the village has also given money. When the time comes, I will take a few more people with me. My family is the poorest, but they are all richer than mine! "
Zhang Jin became more and more satisfied after hearing this. He collected the money bag and said perfunctorily, "Okay, then you can take good care of your injuries. I will go to the casino to beg you for mercy. I'll see you again in a few days. " "Okay, okay!" Wei Dajun breathed a sigh of relief and kept thanking him gratefully.
Zhang Jin waved his hand and walked away.
After leaving the Wei family gate, he spit hard and cursed in a low voice, "Useless things."
After cursing, he looked up at the neat and clean new village, the mountains, river beaches, and hot spring valleys in the distance. His eyes were full of greed and jealousy...
Everyone at the entrance of the village was busy building houses while watching Zhang enter and leave the village.
Liu Biaotou was about to follow immediately. Li Yong was worried, so he told Hui Niang and the village chief a few words, and quickly caught up with Liu Biaotou. They were also companions...
In the evening, everyone who built the house had dinner, and they just came back.
Li Laoer, the village chief and others quickly asked, and Li Yong said, "This Zhang Jin went directly to the gambling house in the city and talked to the steward for a long time. We couldn't come forward because we couldn't hear what was said.
"But I went to the Hou Mansion and borrowed two veterans whom I met, and they will help us keep an eye on the little steward of the casino in the future. If there was someone behind him, they would definitely be able to catch him. Liu
Biaotou nodded and said, "For now, Zhang Jin is the smuggler of the casino, responsible for attracting gamblers outside." "
Then let's do this for now. We have stabilized ourselves. It's not that easy for outsiders to plot." "Li Laoer comforted everyone.
Everyone responded, "Yes, no matter who plans it, everyone has to cover their own money bags, and others dare to rob it! "
At this point, a small turmoil was suppressed.
Except for Wei Dajun, who was half dead in pain every day and his intestines were green with regret, the rest of the villagers continued to live their lives as usual.
Soon, it was time for Jia Huan to hire someone.
The Li family was closed . I asked Uncle Zhao and the others to look after the courtyard gate. Then, Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer, together with the village chief, took a car to the small town of Luo'an.
The village chief didn't want to go at first. After all, he was born as a farmer and was naturally interested in scholars and people. The academy was more in awe, and felt a little nervous.
But Li Laoer reassured the old man, "Uncle, I have even seen the emperor, what are you afraid of these teachers? We are getting married, not asking for services! Besides, the uncle is the head of Broken Gold Beach, a land endowed with feng shui. Just keep your head up and chest high, no matter who we face, we won't be afraid! "
What a big bowl of chicken soup. I just drank it down for the old man, and the effect was better than chicken blood.
The old man changed into his best clothes, wiped the pot of his tobacco pipe until it was shiny, and got into the carriage with great pride... ...
Over in the small town of Luo'an, in the courtyard of the Li family, the betrothal gift has been prepared and neatly packed.
In addition to the two hundred manuscripts originally promised to Mr. Peng, there are also two sets of headgear, one set of red gold and one set of headgear. Pearls. In addition, there are sixteen pieces of various colored silks and satins, a pair of rouge and gouache boxes, a pair of dragon and phoenix candles, four-color candies, four-color nuts, four cans of tea, and four jars of good wine.
The most important thing is the matchmaker's gift of a red seal. I bought two small gold ingots.
A box of betrothal money contained ten twenty-taels of gold ingots, which were converted into two hundred taels of silver.
All these added up were worth about five hundred taels of silver.
When it came time to buy them, Zhao Yuru took a lot of trouble, but the silver But she doesn't need to pay a tael.
This is the rule set by the father-in-law for every descendant of the Li family to marry a daughter-in-law.
