After a few years of good times, we forget what it is like when the times are bad.
There is always a contingency in everything. Plan and prepare for the worst, and then no matter how bad it is, it won't be that bad.
"become!"
As the conversation between uncle and nephew got farther and farther away, Wang Can finally let out a breath.
Now it has attracted the attention of Uncle Li's family. Presumably, there will be no big problems in Li's Ao this year.
If any of them can watch the weather and tell the county magistrate, the impact of this winter's snowstorm should be reduced!
After Li Jun left, the house seemed to be much emptier all of a sudden.
It was fine during the day, with tribesmen helping to repair the roof, but it was especially quiet at night.
After two days of idleness, Li Yuan saw that Wang Can had planted the vegetable field and said, "Can Niang, I'm going to the county town to make iron pots tomorrow. Do you have anything to buy here?"
"It's true. Sister Yuan, I want you to go to the carpenter's shop and buy a few bamboo baskets of this size for me. You can use them when you want to make noodles. Also, can you buy some more chili peppers? I think these days Make the spicy food."
Wang Can always felt penniless and lacking in confidence.
No matter what I want to do, I can't reach out.
After thinking about it, she made up her mind, looked at Li Yuan and said: "Sister Yuan, I want to go to Shuiyun Village to ask Yang Dahua for the money back. But I am only one person, and there is no clear evidence that she took so much from my house. You Tell me what should I do?"
When Li Yuan read the book, she knew how greedy Yang Dahua was, and she also knew how difficult it was for Wang Can to get the money back in the book.
She thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you go back to your hometown before we set up a stall? Then find the enthusiastic old people over there and ask them to testify for you?"
When Yang Dahua sold your house and land, you were not even ten years old. How could you have done this? Some people in the village should know about this. As long as someone is willing to testify, and you can provide evidence that Yang Dahua cheated on you, it will not be difficult to get the money back when the time comes. "
Li Yuan said, fearing that she might not understand, so she gave detailed examples.
"If you are sure that Yang Dahua took your money, then you have to let everyone know how much money her family has now.
After all, their family has lived in Shuiyun Village for generations, and their annual income and how much money the family has in savings can be calculated based on the income from the fields.
You should go directly to Liu Donglin, the head of the district, to handle this matter. If he doesn't care, you can file a lawsuit with the officials. It just so happens that Brother Xie is a scholar, so we will ask him to help you write the petition when the time comes. "
Wang Can's eyes lit up, and she felt that maybe it would be better to sue the official directly. She didn't want to argue with Yang Dahua.
"Okay, then I'll go back and take a look tomorrow. By the way, Sister Yuan, can you lend me a tael of silver first? I'll pay you back when I get the money back."
"Okay, I'll give it to you in a moment. But you don't need to pay back the money. Just treat it as wages paid to you in advance. Once the work starts, our stall will depend on you."
The feeling of being trusted made Wang Can's back straighten, and pride arose in his heart.
She has been living and eating here these days, and it was only because Sister Yuan trusted her that she was willing to lend her money.
If she were an ordinary person, she would have to consider whether she would take the money and run away.
But before Wang Can could return to his hometown with the money given by Li Yuan, Yang Dahua, who learned that she was in Lijia'ao early in the morning, came to her aggressively with her man, son and daughter-in-law.
"Can Niang, you are too ignorant. How can you run away from home without saying a word just because you quarreled with your aunt? Go back with your aunt. You are going to get married in two days, how can you be so childish? As long as I tolerate you, as my daughter-in-law, I can’t be so angry anymore.”
When she saw Wang Can, Yang Dahua pretended to reprimand him preemptively despite the gazes of the people who had followed him to watch the fun. His tone was full of intimacy and consideration for her.
However, Wang Can didn't buy it at all.
When she saw Yang Dahua bringing people over and saying such things, she knew she hadn't given up yet.
She didn't want to return the money to the Liu family at all, and wanted her to continue marrying Liu Dongsheng.
She is so beautiful!
"Auntie, you came just in time, and I was just about to go back to find you. Eight years ago, before my mother died, she gave you more than ten taels of silver as a thank you for raising me until I was married.
After that, you took me back to Shuiyun Village and sold my house and fields. You said you would keep the money for me and return it to me when I get married.
Now that I have someone in mind, I plan to marry him at the end of the year, and now I live here. When are you going to return this money? "
When Yang Dahua heard this, his face darkened: "Nonsense! What's wrong with the person you like? Didn't my aunt arrange a marriage for you before and also told you when to get married?
How do you think you are saying this after you have run away from home? When your mother left you in my hands, she asked me to take care of you and arrange a good marriage for you. How can I explain to your mother a hundred years from now? "
"My mother doesn't need you to explain it. When I get married at the end of the year, I will go back to worship with my husband and tell her in person. Also, you don't need to take care of my marriage. How can you help me talk about my marriage? It's so nice. , why don’t you tell everyone, tell me who the person I’m kissing is?”
Wang Can said, looked at the people around him, and raised his voice: "Do you know? She, my biological aunt, took five taels of silver from the Liu family and asked me to come and be her step-mother. She also told me that these five Two taels of silver will be treated as the money she has worked so hard to support me for so many years. Guess which Liu family is that from Shuiyun Village?"
Li Jia'ao had a quick mind and quickly contacted Li Yuan.
In the countryside, those who can spend five taels of silver to marry a wife at once show that their family is well off.
And being a stepmother means that the last wife is dead.
Coupled with the sarcastic tone of Miss Wang's words, she must be Yuan Niang's previous husband's family.
If the Li family hadn't gone to bring Yuanniang back a few days ago, she would probably be dead by now.
So, after marrying this Miss Wang, isn’t she just going to be a step-mother?
Thinking about this, someone asked: "Could it be Yuan Niang's previous husband's family?"
Wang Can looked at the person who spoke and smiled: "Yes, you are right. Sister Yuan was still alive at that time, and Mrs. Liu was vicious and wanted to starve her to death while she was having a miscarriage.
She told the public that Sister Yuan was dead and that she would let me in after her first seven days. I'm not crazy, how could I marry such a family?
Look, this is the marriage that my dear aunt has decided for me. He took my family's money, sold my family's land, and in turn wanted to cheat me for the rest of my life. "
As Wang Can said this, he couldn't help but think of his previous life, and he felt so filled with hatred.
"Yang Dahua, I know what you want to say. It's just that you didn't take as much money from my mother. In fact, my mother gave you one tael of silver and you used it for the funeral. As for the fields and houses, my family There was no waiting.”
Yang Dahua opened her mouth to refute. This was the argument she had just thought of, but when Wang Can, that bitch, said it like this, how could she accept it?
