Poor Family

Li Sanlang was not accepted by the government school, and the Li family was very angry.

Li Wuya looked at Li Sanlang: "Brother, should we go find Governor Cai?"

Li Sanlang was silent for a while, then shook his head: "I don't think it's worthwhile to waste the favor that Governor Cai owes us for a place in a government school."

"It's not that the government school can only take the exam this time. If I didn't get admitted this time, it's a big deal that I will go again when I recruit new students next time. I can't go back and give me the top."

Li Wuya: "But, this will delay you for at least a year."

Li Sanlang said with a smile: "It's only been a year, and there's nothing to delay. It just so happens that our family just arrived in Rongcheng, and we don't know anything yet, and the land purchase has not yet been finalized. I can help at home."

Seeing that Li Wuya was still frowning, she smiled and stepped forward to nod her head.

"Okay, little housekeeper, let's leave it as it is. If someone pushes you, I can only blame my bad luck."

Li Qilang said angrily: "Those who go through the back door are really annoying."

Li Wuya glanced at him: "The main reason is that our family is too weak. If our family is strong enough, others would not dare to do this."

"So Qilang, you have to study hard, and strive to pass the examination for junior students next year, the examination for scholar the year after, and the examination for juren the year after that."

Li Qilang let out an 'ah', although he always felt that he was very good and powerful, but he still had no idea if he was allowed to win the exam in three years.

That night, Li Changsen tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Jin Yue'e saw it and asked, "Master, are you still thinking about Saburo?"

Li Changsen was silent for a long time before opening his mouth: "Tell me, should I go to that family?" In front of the child's future, the entanglements and worries in his heart were nothing.

Jin Yue'e immediately sat up with a 'chuckle': "Master, please don't do this, Saburo won't be happy if he finds out."

Husbands can recognize their relatives at any time, but they must never come to the door when they have a request. How does this make the family think of their husband and their family?

Li Changsen: "I just feel that I am so useless. When something happens to my child, I, as a father, can't help at all."

Jin Yuee held his hand: "Master, don't think so, isn't it just waiting for one more year? With our Saburo's skill, I believe that even if my son goes to school a year later, he can still have a bright future."

"A year's delay is a delay. How can everything go smoothly in a person's life? When Saburo grows up, it's time for him to take care of things."

Li Changsen didn't speak anymore, and stared at the roof with his eyes open, his face was full of complicated and tangled expressions, but he soon became firm again.

Early the next morning, Li Sanlang sent Li Qilang to the Fuxue Journal. Li Erya and Li Wuya waited for Jin Yuee to pack up and were going to visit Mrs. Qiao.

"Sister, look quickly, Dad has gone out alone."

Li Wuya saw her father quietly going out through the back door alone, and immediately pulled Li Erya to follow: "Mother, let's go out for a while."

Although Li Changsen's body has not recovered yet, he is almost in good condition. It is no problem to go out for activities.

At first, he didn't realize that he was being followed by his two daughters, but when he walked to the street where Jiang's mansion was located, he was a little hesitant, stopped and turned around from time to time, and then saw the two daughters who hadn't hidden in time.

"You. You"

Li Wuya smiled obsequiously and pulled Li Erya over, "Father, we felt a little worried when we saw you going out alone, so we followed."

Li Changsen glanced at his little daughter, how could he not know what this ghost girl was thinking.

Li Wuya walked up to Li Changsen with a smile, took his arm and asked, "Father, what are you doing here?"

Li Changsen: "Can't I just walk around?"

Li Wuya smiled stiffly: "Okay, of course, it's just that you just walk around, it's a little far away from our house."

At this moment, Li Erya suddenly said 'huh': "Wuya, look quickly, is that old man the one who asked us at the gate of the inn last time?"

Li Wuya searched for the sound, and immediately saw Jiang Sheng standing in front of the gate of Jiang's mansion talking to the boy: "It's that old man."

Li Changsen frowned, and asked eagerly, "Do you know that old man?"

Li Erya shook her head: "I don't know him, but last July, the old man was going to Dieling Pass to visit friends, and when he passed Tianling Tun, he stopped us to ask questions."

"Last July?"

Li Changsen's expression tightened. Isn't that what happened after he chased General Beiyan and stayed in Rongcheng and returned, "What did he ask you?"

Looking at Li Changsen with an anxious face, Li Wuya's eyes flickered, she looked at Jiang's mansion, then at Jiang Sheng, thoughtfully.

Li Erya: "It's nothing, he just inquired about our family casually, and Qilang said he looked like a human trafficker, so we didn't talk to him more."

"However, I heard from my mother that he lived in the post station for several days, and even talked to my mother several times."

Li Changsen's hand hanging by his side tightly gripped his shirt, trembling slightly because of too much force.

The Jiang family knew about him, and even went to Tianling Village to find out! ! !

He must have been seen by the Jiang family when he was in Rongcheng.

That's right, he looks so similar to the second master of the Jiang family, he can think of the relationship with the Jiang family, and the Jiang family can naturally think of it too.

Therefore, the Jiang family sent people to Tianlingtun to investigate.

But the Jiang family knew of his existence, but did nothing.

The Jiang family doesn't want to recognize themselves!

Li Changsen looked at Jiang Fu, with deep hurt in his eyes: "Go, go home!"

Sensing Li Changsen's depressed mood, Li Erya and Li Wuya didn't dare to ask any more questions, and helped Li Changsen turn around and leave.

After returning home, Li Changsen was often in a daze. It was not until Li Sanlang took him to look around that he slowly recovered. From then on, he never mentioned that he wanted to recognize his relatives.

The contiguous stretches of good land were still not available. Li Changsen took Li Sanlang on a field trip and bought 20 mu of scattered good land. Because the distance was too far away, it was inconvenient to take care of it. Finally, he went to Shang Laojiu. , The tenants were given to several duty farmers for farming.

It was difficult to buy land, and Li Sanlang was given a place in a government school. When the Li family first came to Rongcheng, they saw that it was not easy to make a living in Rongcheng.

Here, money alone is not enough, status and power are also required.

"What, Dad, you and brother want to go darts?!"

Li Wuya, Jin Yuee, Li Erya, and Li Qilang looked at Li Changsen and Li Sanlang in surprise.

Jin Yue'e was in a hurry: "How dangerous is it to run a dart, can't you not go?"

Li Changsen quickly comforted him: "This was decided after discussions with Saburo. It's not easy to find a good job in Rongcheng, so I can earn relatively more money by running darts."

"Changsen and I run darts together, and we can take care of each other. We only escort the darts around Rongcheng. If we don't go far, there will be no danger."

Li Sanlang followed suit and said, "There are many places where you can run darts, and you can increase your knowledge. I have grown up so much, and I have never been to other places except around Tianlingtun."

"Furthermore, my father and I have practiced martial arts for so many years, so we can't just waste it. Running darts is the most suitable job for us."

"Maybe in the future, my father and I will also be able to set up an escort agency."

Li Wuya looked at the two of them, but didn't say anything.

She understood her father and her brother in her heart.

Her father is the head of the family, so naturally he wants to support the family, and her brother probably has the same idea, so even if the family is not short of money for the time being, the two of them want to earn more money back.

This is a personal value and pursuit, since they have already made a decision, respect it.

Afterwards, Li Changsen took Li Sanlang to run as a dart; Li Qilang went to the government school; Li Erya and Li Wuya went to Mrs. Qiao's to study and learn to read; Jin Yue'e took care of the family's basic necessities of life at home.

Everyone has their own things to do, and the life of the Li family has settled down like this.

Fast forward to April.

On the second day of April, Shang Laojiu came to Li's house to look for Li Wuya. Jin Yuee went out to buy vegetables, and the door was closed. The sound of a sharp sword piercing through the air.

He is also a martial arts practitioner, and he knew that someone was practicing swords when he heard the sound.

He was really curious about the Li family.

At first, he thought that Li Wuya and Li Qilang were the children of Bai Yueguang and Hei Lianhua. After seeing Li Changsen and Jin Yue'e, he knew he was wrong.

For this reason, he even sent someone to investigate the Li family.

After this investigation, it was incredible that a military household was changed to a civilian household when the war was tight, which is too strange.

How did they do it?

Jiubian Yahang has business in many border towns, and he happened to know a superintendent in Dielingguan, so he knew the reason for the change of Li's household registration.

Li Changsen burned Beiyan's food and grass and survived. Li Sanlang and Li Qilang dared to go deep into Beiyan's rear to save their father, and they succeeded in the end!

These all show that the Li family is unusual.

Therefore, even if the investigation is clear, this is an ordinary family with no background or relationship, and he dare not neglect in the slightest.

He has seen Li Wuya and Li Qilang's kung fu before, and they can kill eighth-rank warriors, so what about the others?

Who is the person practicing sword in the yard?

Unable to hold back his curiosity, Shang Laojiu turned over to the wall quietly, and then saw Li Erya in the yard, holding a long sword in his hand, dancing quickly and neatly.

How fast is the sword?

It was so fast that he could hardly see the sword clearly, he could only see the sword light reflected by the sun.

"Who?!"

As soon as the voice came out, Shang Laojiu felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart, and shouted without thinking: "Second Miss, it's me, Shang Laojiu."

As soon as the words fell, Shang Laojiu saw the cold light of the long sword directly lowering his throat, and he was already lying under the wall.

He could clearly feel the sharp and cold touch of the sword tip.

too fast!

He didn't even have a chance to dodge!

At this moment, Shang Laojiu has no doubts at all. If he hadn't spoken out earlier, he might have died!

Seeing that it was Shang Laojiu, Li Erya frowned, and withdrew her sword: "Why are you here? Okay, why did you climb over the wall?"

While struggling to get up, Shang Laojiu replied: "Second girl, it's like this, before the third girl asked me to inquire if there is any suitable shop for opening a pharmacy, didn't I have news from my side, so I came over to tell her right away. "

"I just knocked on your door, but there was no answer. I heard voices in the yard again, so I couldn't help but climb over the wall to have a look."

Li Erya knew that the person who started the dental practice was very tactful, so she couldn't believe everything she said, and guessed that he might want to investigate the situation of Li's family, so her expression was not very good.

"Don't climb over the wall again in the future, I can't hold back every time."

Shang Laojiu hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, absolutely don't dare."

Li Erya: "Wuya is still practicing piano at Mrs. Qiao's place, and she won't be back until an hour later. If you have something to do, you can leave first."

Shang Laojiu wanted to say that he was fine, so it could be seen that there was only Li Erya in the family, so he could only leave first.

As soon as he left the door of Li's house, Shang Laojiu kept patting his chest and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Scared him to death!

Shang Laojiu touched his cold neck, feeling inexplicably sad in his heart, he is an eighth-rank warrior, even in Rongcheng he can be regarded as a master.

But look at what kind of monsters these four brothers and sisters he met, at such a young age, one move could kill him.

After the horror was over, Shang Laojiu became happy again. The stronger the Li family brothers and sisters, the stronger the master behind them.

"It seems that Bai Yueguang and Black Lotus are really their teachers in all likelihood."

Not long after Shang Laojiu left, Li Wuya came back with the guqin in her arms. As soon as she walked to the door, she saw her mother and the neighbor next door greet each other warmly, but the other party turned a blind eye and went back to the house.

"mother!"

Jin Yue'e was in embarrassment. When she saw Li Wuya come back, she smiled again.

"Mother, don't talk to this kind of person in the future."

Jin Yue'e was a little confused: "When our family first moved here, they were pretty good, why did they suddenly become cold during this period of time?"

"Why else? Find out the bottom line of our family."

Li Erya came out of the house: "The neighbor on the left has a talented son; the neighbor on the right has someone who works in the Duhu Mansion, and we are just ordinary people. They think they are superior to us, so they don't want to talk to us. gone."

Jin Yue'e frowned: "Why?"

Li Wuya smiled: "Actually, this is quite normal. Tianlingtun is a society of acquaintances, and everyone will help out in case of trouble, so the relationship is relatively good."

"But in Rongcheng, no one knows anyone. You have to be valuable, and you have to bring benefits to others, so that others will take the initiative to make friends. Mother, you just get used to it in the future."

Jin Yuee sighed and entered the door with her two daughters.

I thought that when I lived in Rongcheng, I just changed to live in another place. After living here, I realized that the living environment has changed, and the way I think about things has to change accordingly.

After returning to the house, Li Erya told Li Wuya about Shang Laojiu's visit, and also said that she had frightened him.

"Scared, don't look at Shang Laojiu who is very considerate to us on the surface, but he may have some little Jiujiu in his heart. He knows how good we are, so he should be more dedicated in doing things."

"You want to open a pharmacy? How much money will it cost?"

"I still have more than 8,000 taels of silver in my hand, which is enough."

"Okay, why are you thinking of opening a medicine shop?"

"Eight thousand taels of silver sounds like a lot, but I can't bear it at all. My brother is sixteen this year, and my sister is fourteen. Whether you are getting married or getting married, it will cost you money. Qilang and I will follow along." It’s too late, so don’t think about it earlier.”

"Furthermore, I also want our family's life to be better. Now my mother is busy working inside and outside the house. It's too hard. It would be great if our family can afford maids and mother-in-law."
