A Timely Wife

Uncle Li Qi and Aunt Li Qi waited for about a cup of tea, and the patriarch's daughter-in-law came out with a smile on her face. Uncle Li Qi and Aunt Li Qi knew there was something going on.

The patriarch's daughter-in-law walked up to the two of them and said with a smile: "My old man said that this matter is your family's business after all. Although he is the patriarch, it is not good to always interfere in other people's family affairs. Ri always feels unwell. We are going to the town to see a doctor. Maybe we will live in the town for a few days to take good care of our bodies. You can take care of your own affairs and wait for him no matter what. Let’s talk when we get back from town.”

The underlying meaning of this passage is that the patriarch will not take care of their affairs now, no matter whether they come to make trouble, or let Li Qi set up a separate household, the patriarch will not take action or care, to be exact Neither side will help, it just depends on whether they can finish this matter, and the chance is only this time, if they can take over Li Qi's family property, then the patriarch will be happy to see it happen, But if they can't get it, the patriarch won't create a second chance for them, success or failure will depend on it.

After Uncle Li Qi and Uncle Li Qi received the exact answer from the patriarch's wife, they were ecstatic, and quickly stuffed ten copper coins to the patriarch's daughter-in-law. It’s a trick, you Li Qi don’t deny your uncle and uncle, okay, you can’t do anything if you are determined to deny them, but you can’t deny your grandparents, you can’t deny your great-grandfather, great-grandmother, if you If you don't even admit it, then from which rock crack did your Li Qi's father jump out.

As long as Li Qi married his grandfather and grandmother, and recognized his great-grandfather and great-grandmother, then you can't get rid of your relationship with your uncle's family. Even if you become a high-ranking official outside, you have to obediently give filial money.But if you don't recognize your grandparents, then not only you, Li Qi, are not filial, but your parents of Li Qi are also accused of being unfilial. of.

As soon as I heard this idea, I knew that it wasn't thought up by the patriarch's wife. It was clearly the patriarch's idea to Uncle Li Qi and his aunt. From this, it can be seen that the patriarch of the Li clan was inevitably moved by the temptation of interests, and verbally It is said that the two are not helping each other, but in fact they are still on the side of Uncle Li Qi and Auntie Li.

This is actually very easy to understand. Uncle Li Qi and auntie have lived in this village all their lives anyway. If there are any problems, how to deal with them, how to speak well, and what are their weaknesses, the patriarch of the Li clan is very clear. Compared with Li Qi who is very imposing and doesn't buy into him at all, the patriarch of the Li clan naturally supports Uncle Li Qi and Auntie Unconditionally. After all, Uncle Li Qi and Auntie are much easier to control than Li Qi.

If Uncle Li Qi and Uncle Li can successfully take over Li Qi's family property, then for him, the patriarch, it will be an extra money bag. Neither mother would, or dare not refuse, because if they dared to refuse, then he could throw Uncle Li Qi and Uncle Li into the prison casually, and let them enjoy the care of the cell bosses.

Li Qi's family, who have no idea of ​​the calculations of Uncle Li Qi's family and the Li family's patriarch's family, should live or how to live. Rather than saying that Li Qi's family is defenseless, it is better to say that Li Qi's family doesn't care at all. They can't survive here, they sold this house and moved to another place to live, I can't afford to offend you, I can always hide you, not to mention that there is no need for them to hide at all.

After Uncle Li Qi and Uncle Li Qi returned from the patriarch's house, they called all the sons back early the next morning, and told the sons what the patriarch's wife said. The family property is already within reach, so I can't wait to start planning.

Some said they rushed in wearing mourning clothes, and they didn’t care about crying on March 21, [-]. Some said they just cried at the gate and asked everyone in the village to come and have a look, and the more miserable the better, some said it was unnecessary. Cry, just put the spirit tablet of the ancestors directly at their door, as long as they open the door, they will be able to see the tablet, as long as they see it, they don't want to kneel.

A large group of people said that the public is right and the wife is right. They first said it, and then it became noisy, and finally almost got into a fight because of this. It was Uncle Li Qi who made these people calm down.

Uncle Li Qi compared the ideas of his sons several times, and decided to neutralize them. The whole family from old to young wore mourning clothes, holding the tablets of their ancestors, standing at the gate of Li Qi's house and crying. The sooner the better , Before I go, I have to borrow gongs and drums from the village, and weep and beat at the same time. It is best to attract everyone in the village. Even if they can't attract all of them, as long as someone comes, they have a chance of winning.

Uncle Li Qi had spoken, and the sons under him dared not speak out no matter how much they had opinions, and they all agreed with Uncle Li Qi’s idea. Uncle Li Qi was proud and happy to see that the whole family agreed with his idea. After making the decision, I started to do what I said today early in the morning on the second day.

After returning home at night, several families have to explain clearly to the family members, including when to get up tomorrow morning, when to gather here, when to change mourning clothes, when to go to the ancestral hall to invite the ancestors' tablets, when to arrive At the gate of Li Qi's house, when did the mourning with gongs and drums start, and it was clearly explained bit by bit.

The sons went back to their respective homes and told their wives what Uncle Li Qi had said before, and it was in response to that sentence, it was not that the whole family did not enter the house, but none of the families raised any objections. Li Qi’s house with blue bricks and big tiles and an unknown amount of silver taels flashed through Li Qi’s mind. Everyone was thinking about how much silver taels they could get in the future, which yard they could live in, and how much fertile land they could get, but no one thought about Li Qi’s family. What will the Qi family do, will they have trouble living, will they be forced to death because of their behavior.

So, there was the scene in the morning. After Li Guanshi came over with the two tablets in his arms, Li Qi straightened his clothes, turned his head and said to Li Wu: "Madam, you must hide behind me later, don't come out. do you know?"

Mrs. Li Wu stroked her hair and replied: "No, I will be where you are. You stand on the left and I stand on the right. We have come here all these years. I have never hidden behind you. It used to be like this, but today So too."

Li Qi paused, and said: "Okay, what happened to our old couple before, and what will happen in the future."

After finishing speaking, Li Qi ordered people to open the door and walked out first. Li Wushi followed closely behind him. The two looked serious, just like they faced those Li family members back then. Li Liang and Li Chenshi hugged each other. A tablet with a sad face, and Li Ruosong and Chengdong walked last, all of them were attracted by the things outside the gate, no one noticed that Zhou Huyuan was holding Li Ruoshan and walked near them at some point. behind the person.

Although Li Ruoshan didn't hear the previous words, he heard Li Ruosong's last words. On the way here, Zhou Nuyuan had already told him about what happened at the gate. What should I do? I have to say that all he can think of is the two points Li Ruosong mentioned before, either invite the patriarch or the elders, because apart from these two kinds of people, he can't think of anyone else Can suppress the shameless person of the big family.

Li Ruoshan saw that the elders and brothers and husbands had all gone outside. Li Ruoshan, who wanted to come down and go by himself, rolled his eyes, but he didn't come down. He leaned into Zhou Huyuan's ear and muttered for a while, The smile in Yuanyuan's eyes grew stronger as he listened, and when Li Ruoshan finished speaking, Zhou Huyuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, young master, just leave this matter to me."

Seeing that Zhou Huyuan agreed to his request, Li Ruoshan put his arms around Zhou Huyuan's neck, buried his head in Zhou Huyuan's arms, and was hugged by Zhou Huyuan like this, the two of them did not rush out, Instead, he hid behind the gate and listened to the movement outside.

After Uncle Li Qi and his uncle's family saw Li Qi coming out, their crying suddenly became louder. According to Cheng Dong, it suddenly soared from 90 decibels to 200 decibels. How jarring, fortunately in this day and age

There was no such thing as a loudspeaker, otherwise Cheng Dong felt that his eardrums might burst directly.

"Open your eyes, ancestors, come and take a look, take a look at these unworthy descendants, it's fine if they don't recognize us, the old couple, we did do something to them back then, but this thing can't be done It’s all our fault, they don’t recognize us and they don’t recognize us, but they don’t even want to recognize their ancestors, it’s all our fault, we didn’t teach Qi’er well, we didn’t teach him what filial piety is.” Li Uncle Qi cried loudly.

The surrounding villagers heard the words and felt that what Uncle Li Qi said was very reasonable. No matter what Uncle Li Qi and his aunt did in the past, now that they knew they were wrong, Li Qi should forgive them. Decades have passed. The great hatred should also disappear. Uncle Li Qi and his aunt are both at this age. Who knows when they will disappear like this. Li Qi is looking at this matter, so he should stop pursuing the past. things.

And Li Qi didn't die because of the incident back then, but after getting out because of this incident, he earned a lot of silver and even got a reputation. Really, if Uncle Li Qi didn't drive Li Qi out, maybe Li Qi hasn't had such an encounter yet, and Li Qi shouldn't pursue it because of emotion and reason.
