This means that within a short period of time, the work does not belong to him.
In this case, we can't live over there in the teahouse.
In addition, he had limited money, and after asking a doctor to see his injuries, he had very little left.
In desperation, he could only go home.
And because he couldn't cook, the villagers were unwilling to give him free meals, so he had no choice but to pay to buy them from them.
He is a man in his twenties and has a large appetite. In addition, he requires enough oil and water. Even if there is no meat, the villagers still charge five cents for a meal.
This means that if he does nothing for a day, he will spend fifteen cents.
It can be said that this is almost his usual day's wages at the teahouse.
If it was one or two days, that would be fine, but how could he bear it for seven or eight days?
It happened that a few days ago, his good friend in the city came over and told him that he wanted to buy land, but he accidentally saw the land deed of his house in the hands of the steward of the county magistrate's brother-in-law.
He thought that this was the Liu family's land, and in a moment of desperation, he found a trusted person to convince the manager, and then borrowed money to help buy it.
Because the middleman he found had a good relationship with the manager, the land was finally purchased at a price of one hundred cents per acre lower than the market price.
Liu Dongsheng didn't believe it at first, but when his friend came over, he also brought one of the land deeds.
Liu Dongsheng naturally knows his own things, especially such important land deeds.
He would not believe that his parents had sold it, but it was possible that it had been stolen.
After all, when Li Yuan asked for a divorce, the house was in a mess, and it was not impossible for someone to take advantage of the chaos and steal her.
But he still didn't want to believe this fact, and his friend also said that he bought it from the steward of the county magistrate's brother-in-law.
This means that it is impossible for him to sue the other party.
If the complaint is successful, it is equivalent to offending the county prince's brother-in-law, which is a disguised form of offending the county prince.
After thinking about it, he simply took a stone and smashed the lock of his mother's house.
When he entered the house, he searched through the places where his mother might hide money and land deeds, but he didn't find what he wanted.
Not a penny of silver.
The land deed was even missing.
Liu Dongsheng's eyes were splitting when he thought that all these things had been stolen.
Their family has so many fertile fields and dry land, and the soil is very fertile. If they were sold, they could get close to a hundred taels.
In addition to the family's savings, it means that if his mother had not taken it away, the family would have lost hundreds of taels.
The title deed is still with his friend, who also borrowed money to buy it for him because of the low price.
He has to give this money, both emotionally and rationally.
If you don't give it, they won't pay it back.
My friend wants to give him fifty cents per acre of land below the market price if he buys it back, and they will earn him fifty cents.
He thought about it and felt that it should be the case.
After all, they have a fiduciary relationship and are looking for someone to borrow money.
If you borrow so much money at once, the person who borrowed it must pay interest.
In addition, my friend's help was not in vain. Being able to help buy it immediately and come over to talk to him was considered extremely loyal.
If his family doesn't buy it, I won't worry that no one will want it.
After all, the business has been good in recent years, and this good land is not cheap even for a penny. As long as the news is released, many people will buy it.
Liu Dong was so worried that he couldn't eat or sleep well in the past two days. There were even several bubbles at the corners of his mouth. He was looking forward to his mother coming back as soon as possible every day.
Mrs. Liu had no idea of her son's inner suffering, and was shocked when she saw his appearance.
But she was extremely tired from running around for days.
At this moment, I wish I could close my eyes and fall asleep directly.
Therefore, even if she was concerned about her son, she wanted to rest first.
"Dongsheng, where is Mrs. Li? Are you dead? If not, ask her to quickly kill a chicken and make soup for me. I will drink it when I wake up."
With that said, she prepared to go back to her room.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she heard her son ask her in an expectant tone.
"Mom, you took away our family's money and land deed, right?"
Liu Dongsheng couldn't care less about whether his mother drank chicken soup or whether Li Yuan was dead.
He just wanted to confirm whether his mother had sold the field and whether she had taken the money away.
If so, it means those things were made by his parents.
They left with so much money, presumably to buy properties in other counties.
Mr. Liu has always cared most about his own things.
She can be so arrogant in Shuiyun Village because these family assets give her the confidence.
When she heard her son's words, she was still a little unable to react.
"Dongsheng, what did you say?"
When Liu Dongsheng saw this, his heart skipped a beat, and he said with a slightly trembling voice: "Mom, how much money did you bring when you went to the city? Did you bring all the land deeds with you? Our family's money is gone, and the land deeds are also gone. ."
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she rushed back to the room without saying a word.
After she rummaged through the places where she had hidden her things, her face turned pale, her legs went weak, and she fell directly to the ground.
Old Man Wang also searched inside and out. After making sure that everything was gone, his hands were trembling and he didn't know what to say.
However, when he saw his old lady sitting on the ground as if she was stupid, he couldn't help but comfort her: "Plum Blossom, if we look for it again, it must still be there. Don't worry, we still have money."
They were lucky this time when they went to Fuguang Temple and met a girl who was unconscious and lying on the roadside at the foot of the temple.
The girl looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was dressed exquisitely and had a lot of jewelry on her head. There was no one around her and she had a bulging purse hanging around her waist.
There was no one on the road at that time, so the old couple didn't dare to take the jewelry for fear of selling it later and being recognized.
If they just took the jewelry and didn’t sell it, it would be of no use to them.
Even if you hide it secretly at home, you may bring trouble to yourself.
After thinking about it, the old couple decided that it would be better to take the money.
After all, the wallet is bulging, and it looks like a lot of money.
But they were afraid that when they took it, the girl woke up, so they were so bold that they found a stone and hit her on the head hard.
After confirming that the person was not dead and still breathing, he took off his wallet.
There are sixty-three taels of silver in the purse, including a fifty-tael silver note, and the remaining thirteen taels are two ingots of five taels of silver and three ingots of one tael of silver.
Because they took other people's money, they were afraid that the other party's personal maids and servants would come looking for them, so they simply didn't go to Fuguang Temple.
After the two discussed it, they went directly to a village two hours away from Fuguang Temple and spent a hundred cash to stay there for a few days on the grounds that they were not in good health due to a long trip.
When they felt that it was almost over, they asked for directions to the town and shared a carriage with someone to drive all the way back.
However, they were afraid that their money would be stolen by someone riding in the carriage on the road, so the old couple did not dare to sleep.
Unexpectedly, they took away more than 60 taels from others, but the family lost more than 130 taels.
Thinking of this, Old Man Wang was heartbroken.
If I had known this, I shouldn't have gone out before, but now I regret it, it's too late!
"Money, yes, we still have banknotes!"
Mrs. Liu said, taking out her money bag.
