Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Chapter 175 Apologize for money

Xu Lizheng did not doubt that he was there. He stared at Liu Lezi and asked angrily: "Liu Lezi, have you provoked someone you shouldn't have provoked outside again?"

Liu Lezi shouted that he was wronged: "No! Uncle, it's really not me who brought this about! It was Zhou. Landlord Zhou sent someone to find me and told me to give me ten taels of silver and let me set fire to Mrs. Zheng's house! I didn't even have a chicken. If you don't dare to kill, how can you do such an animal act of killing and setting fire?"

Not to mention that Liu Leizi didn't have the guts to set fire to hurt people, he also hoped that Zheng Shaoxuan would run the Huo clan school well so that he could send his youngest son to study and read in the coming year.

Liu Lezi did not dare to hope that his youngest son would pass the exam to become a scholar. He only hoped that after his youngest son could learn how to read and write, he could find a light job with a reasonable income in the town or city.

Xu Lizheng was a little confused. His mind went blank. It took him a while to come back to his senses: "What did you say? Landlord Zhou sent someone to give you ten taels of silver and asked you to set fire to Mrs. Zheng's house? Did you take the Zhou family's money?" Liu Lezi, you took the money from the Zhou family and still want to live in peace? Huh? With your head, you, if you really want to die, just find a rope and hang yourself. Why do you want to drag your wife and children to die with you?"

Liu Lezi cried so much that snot bubbles came out of his nose, and defended himself: "No, no, no, uncle, I didn't take the Zhou family's money! I fainted from fright! When I woke up again, there was no trace of that person. But I’m afraid, afraid that the Zhou family will kill me!”

When Mrs. Liu heard about her husband's tragic experience, she couldn't help complaining in distress: "Why didn't your enemy tell me earlier? If you told me earlier, I could at least think of a solution with you! Look what you did What's wrong? How can you harm the Xu family's crops?"

Liu Lezi hurriedly explained:

"Aren't I desperate? I just thought about asking Xu Ning to beat me up and use it as an excuse to recuperate at home. The Zhou family can't harm me, and I don't have to do such evil things."

Huo Yunchao scolded angrily: "Liu Leizi, you are very good at calculating! You will take all the benefits, and my family will bear all the disadvantages, right?"

Liu Lezi and Lady Liu knew they were in the wrong, so they were obedient and did not dare to speak out to defend their actions.

After all, Xu Lizheng felt sorry for his nephew. He faced Huo Yunchao's cannibalistic gaze and stammered: "Um, Yun Chao, Zhou's landlord family has a great business and has the government as its backer. Liu Laizi has no choice but to ask him to compensate you. , you, you took the apology and ignored the faults of the villain, what do you think?"

After learning the real reason why Liu Lezi pulled out the Xu family's rice, Xu Lizheng's heart naturally tilted towards his nephew. He chose the lesser of two evils. Anyway, the Zhou landlords should never be provoked. If he made a mistake, his family would be destroyed. Then they can only provoke Huo Yunchao and Xu Ning from the same village.

Huo Yunchao guessed that Xu Lizheng would protect Liu Lezi, and was not too excited when he heard what he said. He only said: "My few rice plants are not worth a few copper coins if they are taken out alone, but since this matter involves Landlord Zhou, then We must make a big fuss, the bigger the fuss, the better, so that the more people know about my feud with Liu Lezi, the safer Liu Lezi will be."

Liu Lezi covered his heart and asked carefully: "You, how much money do you want me to pay?"

Huo Yunchao smiled instead of being angry, and deliberately used words to scare Liu Leizi: "How much is it? Hehe, I will make you pay a penny, and the landlord will immediately send people to your house to set fire to it!"

Liu Lezi shrank in fear.

The wife hid behind Mrs. Liu: "Daughter-in-law, you go talk to them about compensation. I, I will write you an IOU."

Madam Liu looked confused: "Why do you want to write me an IOU?"

Liu Lezi said without thinking: "The compensation to the Xu family is all the hard-earned money earned by you and the children. Of course I have to pay it back to you."

A trace of sadness flashed in Mrs. Liu's eyes. She had covered it for so many years but still couldn't warm up Liu Lezi's heart, that's all.

After all these years, she should have figured it out: it's hers, and she can't escape; it's not hers, and she can't ask for it.

Madam Liu once again stood up to clean up Liu Lezi's mess. After negotiation, she took the initiative and said, "Huo Dalang, Madam Ning, I will pay you one tael of silver. Can that be okay?"

"One tael of silver?"

Liu Lezi was horrified. He thought he would only be compensated eight hundred and ten cents, but never thought that the Xu family would ask for one or two cents in compensation?

Mrs. Liu couldn't hold it back any longer, so she stepped forward and gave Liu Lezi an elbow: "One tael of silver will exchange for your life, so why are you so careless? Isn't your life worth one tael of silver?"

"Yes, but..."

"It's nothing! It's settled!"

Madam Liu made the final decision and turned to Xu Ning and said: "Mother Ning, give us two a few more blows on our faces later. It's best to beat them until they are bruised and swollen, so that people will mistakenly think that we can't get off. Bed."

Before Liu Leizi could open his mouth to speak, Madam Liu turned to him and told him: "Ms. Huo Dalang is right, we have to do the whole thing when we act!"

Huo Yunchao couldn't help but look at Madam Liu. He thought that Madam Liu was the kind of incurable love brain, but he didn't expect her to be so...

He is able to assess the situation and add drama to himself.

Xu Ning did not refuse Madam Liu's request. Her control over strength was far beyond ordinary people, as Huo Yunchao, Huo Yunyao and others knew very well.

Xu Lizheng didn't know Xu Ning's specialty, so he couldn't help but said: "Ning Niang, you are born with supernatural power, please be gentle and don't really hurt people."

Huo Yunchao glanced at Xu Ning, who didn't want to answer the question, and said with a smile: "Xu Lizheng, my mother Ning will never say more than a cent, so just put your heart back in your stomach."

Liu Lezi and Liu Niangzi were the unlucky ones who had personally experienced being "beaten" by Xu Ning. They said in unison: "Uncle, don't worry. If Ning Niang were really cruel, we would not survive long ago."

Even so, when Xu Ning raised his fists and prepared to do good deeds, Xu Lizheng was still so nervous that he swallowed his saliva and his hands were tangled together like twists.

"Wait a moment!"

At the critical moment, Huo Yunchao shouted to stop. He deliberately said in front of Xu Lizheng: "Liu Lezi, Madam Liu, you two must cooperate! Ning Niang must scream when she lands her fist. The more miserable the scream, the better!"

Liu Lezi and his wife nodded together. They were considered experienced. They screamed when they were punched, which made the scalps of the melon eaters outside the wall of Xu Lizheng's house go numb.

Aunt Yao didn't know Liu Lezi's difficulties. When she heard Liu Lezi's screams, she laughed so hard that she couldn't see her eyes: "Oh my, Liu Lezi is such a stupid fool. Who is he provoking? He's actually like this. I can’t even think about provoking Huo Dalang and Ning Niang! Not to mention Huo Dalang, who is full of money-making ideas, Ning Niang, who only talks about his natural power, can send him to the West with a few punches! "

Aunt Ma on the side disagreed: "Ning Niang will never bully the weak!"

The smile on Aunt Yao's lips froze, and she realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly said: "Yes, yes! That's what I just meant!"
