Liu Jin occasionally wanders outside Lao Liu's house. She doesn't want to go in and can't help but come. She can only waste time.
Finally, on the day of old Liu tou's funeral, Liu Jin just wore funeral clothes and followed at the back because of her special status.
Old lady Miao looked at it and sneered from time to time. She knew that the funeral procession had left the village.
After leaving the village, women could no longer send each other. Only Liu Gensheng and a group of his brothers carried the coffin of old Liu's head away.
As soon as the man left, Yang opened his mouth.
"Now that the matter is over, it's time to settle the accounts. You killed the old man. All the funeral expenses are paid by you, and you can't be less."
"I'm out of my mind and talking nonsense again." Liu Jin simply replied, then turned around and took Roche to go.
But Yang's hands and eyes were quick. He grabbed Roche's wrist and pulled them.
"Want to go? It's not that easy."
"We keep saying that we killed the old man. What's the evidence? Nonsense. Be careful I'll sue you in the government."
Liu Jin glared at Yang.
Yang Shi was frightened at first, then calmed down, "who are you bluffing? The government? Is that where you said you would go?"
"Don't mention that Lord Huang of the government has a good relationship with girl Jin now."
Zhao Qing said at this time that he had received some news about the town. When he learned that the county magistrate had fallen, he was startled.
He is in the right place and has a little relationship with the county magistrate. Fortunately, he was not involved.
As soon as they heard this, they looked at Liu Jin with a trace of awe.
No one thought that Liu Jin was still related to the new imperial envoy.
Yang Shi was a little stunned and looked at Li Zheng, "this is true? Li Zheng, aren't you scaring me?"
"What are you cheating on? Not long ago, the county magistrate didn't allow girl Jin to do brine business. As a result, Lord Huang took off her black hat two days later. It is said that girl Jin took Lord Huang there."
Zhao Qing had just heard about it. At this time, he looked at Liu Jin with a trace of surprise.
Liu Jin looked at Yang Shi and ignored the surprised eyes of the people. "Do you want to go on? Or do you want to go to the Yamen?"
Yang swallowed his saliva. "You collude with the government. I can't fight you. However, you must bear the funeral expenses."
With that, Yang shook his hand angrily and left.
Liu Jin looked at her far away figure and said with a smile, "it's sad to take herself too seriously."
The villagers who watched the excitement were silent one by one. Yang's reckless entanglement is famous. Even if he is unjustifiable, he has to stir it hard, which makes people hate it when they see it.
When the funeral procession came back, it was already dusk.
At this time, the three elders put out the cost of the whole funeral. Most of them were taken by people first, and now they come to settle accounts.
In order to show their notarization, the three elders calculated one by one in front of Lao Liu's family, Luo's family and others.
Yang sat aside and didn't care about these accounts at all. A pair of eyes glanced at Liu Jin from time to time.
Obviously, she wants Liu Jin to bear the burden, so she doesn't care. Instead, she thinks the larger the number, the better.
Liu Gensheng was also indifferent. He looked down at the table and didn't know what he was thinking. Liu Jin suspected that he wouldn't even bother to come if the three families were not here.
After a long time of calculation, the three elders settled down for a long time.
The funeral expenses cost a total of 92.5 silver.
I'm afraid this is a high standard burial for Qingshui village. It's hard for ordinary people to spend two or three liang of silver.
After all, the coffins are ready. The most expensive item is omitted.
"Roche, your family has money. It's up to you." Seeing that the number had been calculated, Yang said softly.
Roche looked at his nose, asked his heart, lowered his head and said nothing.
Liu Jin told her before she came and said nothing.
Seeing this, the three elders hurriedly said, "isn't this inappropriate? Anyway, Gensheng is also the son of old Liu tou. How can he not pay a penny?"
After hearing this, Yang said to Liu Gensheng, "you can give half a liang of silver."
Liu Gensheng nodded, "everything depends on my mother."
"Then my mother also gives half a Liang. Everything is the same as that of the second room."
Liu Jin said at this time.
"You dream. You get nine liang of silver."
"You dream too. We only go out with the second room."
As soon as Yang's voice fell, Liu Jin immediately followed, and there was no intention of showing weakness at all.
The three old people looked at each other and didn't know what to do for a moment. Anyway, the silver is to be paid, and it can't be paid by the three outsiders, can it?
"Well, you can discuss it."
The three old people are not easy to talk, and they don't want to pay attention to the broken things of Lao Liu's family.
"There's no need to discuss. One person is half. If we can't, we won't pay a penny. I paid for the medicine before, exactly ten Liang silver. Now it's their turn."
Liu Jin said this and looked at Yang, waiting for yang to refute.
As expected, Yang opened his mouth and scolded, "are you okay to say? If there were no problem with the medicine you bought, the old man wouldn't have died so soon."
"What are you talking about? Isn't there another note of medicine? Take it out and let's change the money. The doctor will check it to see if there is a problem with the medicine."
Liu Jin said angrily to Yang so that she wouldn't always talk about this problem.
Hearing the speech, Yang immediately said, "the test must be clear, or my old man will die without understanding."
"What about the cost of the funeral?" The three elders are in a bit of a dilemma. They have to pay back what the villagers have gathered together.
Yang Shi waved, "we'll talk about these later. Let's find out if there is a problem with the medicine after the old man's death. At the beginning, she went to buy medicine without getting the prescription. I thought there was something wrong."
Miao nodded, "that's right. Doctor Qian has excellent medical skills. Since he has prescribed a prescription, he must be sure. How can he die after taking a dose of medicine? He must have made a mistake."
Liu Jin smelled the speech, looked at the Miao family and said nothing.
The three clan elders were stunned for a while, and then said with some dissatisfaction: "the accounts have been calculated clearly. You will collect the money at noon tomorrow and return it to the people in the village."
"This is the money collected by the villagers in the village. We can't help paying it back."
"Those are the food money they came to join the fun and ate. It's funny that they want us to return it."
When the three elders heard this, their faces sank.
According to the usual practice, the funeral expenses these days are all raised by everyone. It takes a lot of money. Naturally, they have to give money to others.
