"Although it was 30 years ago, the older people talked about the Li family's past with great relish. At that time, the large and small families in lezhou all racked their brains to marry their daughter into the Li family, hoping that their daughter would give birth to an heir for the Li family. I don't know whether it was the Li family's geomantic omen problem or the reason, and finally failed to give birth to a boy."
"Even a few days after Li's mother died, Li left a letter and ran away from home. After 30 years, there was no news. In the end, there was only one family member left in Li's family."
Xu nodded, which was similar to what Li Chanjuan told Li Changting. She asked, "how did the Li family survive the natural disaster?"
Song Wenjie thought about it: "I don't know about this. During the natural disaster, all the people in our village hid in the mountains. Fortunately, they found a water source and survived. When they came out again, it was the second year of the natural disaster. At that time, my aunt suddenly found me and asked me to take care of the Li family's property."
Xu Qing: "Auntie?"
Song Wenjie shook his head: "no, it's a distant aunt. When I was a child, I didn't know her existence. When I grew up, my mother said that she had such a relative, but she had never been with her. This distant aunt's mother's family is also a well-known big family in lezhou. My mother once went to have a relationship, but she was beaten out, and she never mentioned this family again. "
"I only know that this distant aunt is the second wife of the Li family. During the natural disaster, the eldest lady in charge of the Li family died. Maybe there was an outbreak of plague. Many people in the Li family died. My aunt survived by luck, but she never took care of her family business. In the face of a huge family, she didn't know what to do, so she found me."
"But there's one thing I don't quite understand."
Xu Qing: "what?"
Song Wenjie said: "my aunt, the second lady, remarried not long after the Li family's master left home. She also gave birth to two daughters. The youngest daughter is also 20 years old. It's reasonable that she didn't give birth to a son and a half to the Li family. After remarriage, she had nothing to do with the Li family. But I don't know why she took over the Li family after all the people in the Li family died."
"But her cousin is the ninth wife of the Li family. She remarried after the Li family left home. You may not know that."
"Before he left home, the Li family leader left each of his wives and concubines a letter of separation, allowing them to choose whether to stay or remarry. If they remarry and leave the Li family, they can get a severance payment of 100 Liang silver."
"This Jiufu has three daughters. The eldest daughter is 31 years old. It is reasonable to say that the eldest daughter of Jiufu is the descendant of the Li family. However, Jiufu has only her second wife to do everything."
Xu Qing was confused: "wait, what do you say, the eldest daughter of the ninth lady is the descendant of the Li family?"
Song Wenjie nodded. He didn't understand why Xu Qing was surprised: "the eldest daughter of the ninth lady is thirty-one years old, and the Li family's owner ran away from home thirty years ago. She should be the daughter of the Li family."
Xu Qing touched his chin. How could this be wrong with Li Chanjuan?
"It's OK, you go on, Li Jiaqi and others are all dead?" Asked Xu Qing.
Song Wenjie: "I don't know about the others, but I heard from my aunt that all the people in the Li family died, and the daughters who married out were not spared."
Xu Qing: "you just said that the Li family has ten daughters. Which one is the ninth lady?"
Song Wenjie: "the tenth one. She was less than one year old when Li left. She should be the youngest one."
Seeing song Wenjie, Xu Qing knows that he doesn't know much. After all, he was not born 30 years ago.
Li Chanjuan clearly said that the tenth daughter of the Li family is still alive. When the Li family ran away from home, the tenth daughter was already two years old. Where did this one year old child come from?
Xu Qing also dare not say that the second wife killed the Li family and robbed the Li family. Based on Li Chanjuan's one-sided statement, she and Li Changting will not rush to a conclusion without evidence.
It will have to wait until after the end of winter for Li Changting to find out the truth.
If the second lady is really the murderer, she will not be spared.
As for who the tenth daughter of the Li family is, I will come to a conclusion when I see someone.
Song Wenjie ventured to ask: "why is madam so interested in the Li family?"
Xu Qing: "thirty years ago, did the Li family's owner who ran away from home call Li Luocheng, Luo of Luochuan, the city of Chengchi?"
This song Wenjie knew, he nodded: "yes."
Xu Qing said with a smile, "I've heard something about Li Luo city before. I didn't expect that this father of Li Luo city and I are still in the same village. Maybe they are of the same family."
Song Wenjie was surprised and said with a smile, "what a coincidence?"
Song Wenjie was just surprised, while Li Zhu was shocked.
Although Li Changting didn't say who his father was, Xu Qinggang obviously didn't say all of his words to song Wenjie. If he was just an unimportant fellow villager, why did Xu Qing specially ask song Wenjie for such details?
Li Luocheng is the father of the owner of the family.
That is to say, there may be family members of the owner in lezhou?!Li Zhu was shocked and soon returned to normal.
Song Wenjie didn't think deeply that it had nothing to do with him to control these things, and he didn't have to study the purpose of Xu Qing's questions.
He can't go back to the Li family. Maybe lezhou won't go back. Everything over there has nothing to do with him. Where Qiao Yu is, he will be.
Xu Qing said with a smile: "stay for dinner. It's not convenient to entertain you here. Please go to the canteen in the park and let Li Zhu take you there. You can have whatever you want."
Song Wenjie wanted to politely refuse, but as soon as he heard that he was going to the park, he immediately saluted with a smile: "thank you, madam."
Song Wenjie's heart has already gone to the park to see his daughter-in-law and have dinner with her.
Xu Qing nodded to Li Zhu and got up to go back.
Li Zhu will take song Wenjie to the park.
As soon as he got out of the gate, song Wenjie saw Qiao Yu waiting for him at the gate. He quickly walked over: "didn't I tell you to go back first?"
Then he picked up the two bamboo baskets on the ground and walked to the park, "let's go in together."
Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment. He saw that Li Zhu didn't stop him. Although he didn't know what happened, he seemed to be OK.
Song Wenjie said: "your boss invited me to dinner in the park. Tell me what you want to eat. It's her treat."
Li Zhu is in, Qiao Yu is not good to ask Xu Qing what to ask him to do, just nod: "I'll do anything."
Xu Qing went back to see her chicken soup. At this moment, the small kitchen was no longer cold outside because of the fire. Xu Qing took off his cloak, lifted his sleeve and began to prepare lunch.
A large pot of black chicken soup, Xu Qing divided half out into space.
