Chapter 277 The Wang family is really generous!
“Haha, if my boy is as capable as Jiaren, I would like to see him not just once a month, but even once a year!”
"Me too, haha, it's good for the boys to make a difference."
Hope your children will become successful, this is the wish of all parents and elders in the world, there are absolutely no exceptions!
A banquet was held from when the sun was high in the sky to when the sun set.
The men were red-faced and drunk, talking and laughing as they went home to sleep.
The women were busy clearing the table, washing the dishes and dividing the leftovers, and then hurried home to see if the drunkards had vomited all over the floor.
Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen had to rush back to the city. The Li family had just thanked them in front of the whole village for helping Li Zhensheng, and now they all saluted and thanked them.
The old lady took them and asked them to stay for a few more days.
It’s a pity that Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng are busy and cannot stay.
Fortunately, Mrs. Cui did not leave and planned to stay for three or two days.
Mr. Ye supported Ye Shan and returned to his yard.
For a time, the Li family yard, which had been noisy all day, finally became quiet.
Li Zhensheng was ill and drank less than half a bowl of wine at the banquet, but now he covered his face with wine and leaned against his mother, smiling and refusing to leave.
Just like when I was a child, I relied so much on being close to my mother.
Brothers Li and Lao were also sitting around, drinking strong tea to sober up.
Brother Li, Brother Cat, and Jiayin dug out a few sachets and were catching stones, having a lot of fun.
Li Laoer took out the revised household registration and the banknotes from the yard sale, "Brother, keep these things."
Li Zhensheng pushed it directly to his mother's hand and said in a low voice, "Mom, these are all from home, you can keep them. I also arranged for Sihaiju and the shipwreck. In fact, there was no loss at all. Wait for those shops Bring back the money and I will give it to you."
"No, I don't want it." The old lady waved her hand, "This is your money, keep it yourself. When Brother Li and Brother Mao grow up, keep it for them to study and marry."
“Mother!” Li Zhensheng saw that my mother really didn’t want it, so he was a little anxious and hugged my mother’s arm directly.
“Mom, please keep it, okay? I’m from our family, and of course these silver shops belong to our family. Brother Li and Brother Mao have grown up, studied and gotten married, so of course they have a family to run!”
Mrs. Li glanced at the end of the kang and saw that the three children were playing well without looking over, so she quickly patted her eldest son.
"How old are you? Don't act like Fu Niu. These money shops are what you have endured and suffered for so many years. The family can't keep them. If you are asked to keep them, you can keep them. Besides, your brothers are now You also have your own private room, you are not the only one."
“Yes, brother, we keep half of our wages for ourselves.”
"Yes, my mother will give us a bonus of silver at the end of the year. She said that we are all married and have children, so we cannot be without money."
Li Laoer and others advised, "Brother, don't worry about us. We have hands and feet. We are making money every day, which is enough to support the family. Brother, just keep your own money. We don't have enough, or there is money at home." If I need it, I will definitely ask you to borrow it, and I won’t be polite.”
Li Zhensheng refused, "I have been away from home for so many years, and you have worked hard to support the family and be filial to me. I feel guilty. Now these gold and silver shops are my compensation for the family, otherwise I would have no shame in hearing you call me big brother."
Having said this, Li Lao Er and others couldn't persuade her any more, and they all looked at my mother.
Old Mrs. Li really doesn’t want the money. These are all her son’s blood and tears.
If she could, she didn't want a penny, she just wanted to get back the more than ten years of her son's life.
At this time, Ye Shan returned from serving Mr. Ye. Everyone hurried forward to help him, and sat Mr. Ye on the kang again.
"Chengyi, what do you have to say? Just call someone and we can go there. Your injury is not healed yet, so it's not good to walk back and forth like this. If you open the wound, you will suffer."
Mrs. Li called Mr. Ye by name, and she was very close to him. A warm light flashed in his eyes, and she smiled, "Don't worry, Auntie. Doctor Zhang said, it won't be a problem if I walk around slowly for a few times."
After saying that, he took out an envelope and handed it to Li Zhensheng.
"I used some tricks. The Wang family was frightened and sent someone to deliver these banknotes. The power should be regarded as compensation for the eldest brother from the Wang family!"
Li Zhensheng frowned, opened the envelope, and revealed a stack of banknotes, all of which were in large denominations of 500 taels each. By simple counting, they amounted to 20,000 taels.
“Hmph, the Wang family is really generous!” Li Laoer scolded, “If I had been so conscientious earlier, my eldest brother would not have suffered for so many years.”
Everyone nodded. Even if the old man of the Wang family died, the reputation that the Wang family had maintained for decades was ruined, and Wang E had to be sent to hard labor, the hatred of the Li family towards the Wang family would never be wiped away in a lifetime.
Now it's just because of the two children, Brother Li and Brother Mao, and because Li Zhensheng didn't take his life, so he reluctantly forgets it, and doesn't care so much anymore.
Otherwise, all the descendants of the Li family will be enemies of the Wang family for the rest of their lives, and the Wang family will never have peace...
Li Zhensheng thought for a while and pushed the envelope to his mother.
"Mom, don't forget about the shop and the money. I'll keep it for Brother Li and Brother Mao. But this money is compensated by the Wang family. You and your family have suffered a lot because of my disappearance for more than ten years. This money, You got it right."
Mrs. Li still wanted to refuse, but her son looked at her eagerly, as if he couldn't feel at ease if she didn't accept the offer.
She hesitated for a moment, then took the envelope.
"Okay, you have been away from home for more than ten years and have not made any money for the family. Today, the 20,000 taels will be transferred to the public account, as if you have paid it all at once. From now on, you can live at home with peace of mind and leave the things at home alone, okay? It’s all about you and Brother Li and Brother Mao, do you understand?”
“Understood! Just listen to me!” Li Zhensheng immediately smiled.
Jiayin crawled over at some point and quickly got into grandma's arms. She stared at the envelope with her big eyes shining golden.
Old Mrs. Li couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry. She immediately stuffed the envelope into her arms and said, "Little money lover, you are really there wherever there is money!"
Everyone started laughing. Mr. Ye hugged the fat girl with a disappointed pout and coaxed her, "I'll go to the palace in a few days and ask for some gold bracelets for Fu Niu. The solid ones, okay?"
“Okay!” Jiayin immediately changed her smile, put her arms around her adoptive father’s neck, and gave him a big kiss.
Mrs. Li laughed and scolded, "This girl is really obsessed with money. We don't have such roots in our family, so who are you following!"
At this moment, Ye Shan came in from outside, holding a long wooden box and reporting in a low voice.
“Master Marquis, someone from the palace has come and brought this box as a gift!”
Everyone was curious and looked over.
This box is a foot long, made of rosewood, carved with complicated patterns, and the locks are made of gold. It looks extremely precious at first glance.
I just don’t know what good things need to be packed in such a good box.
Mr. Ye had some vague guesses, reached out to take it, and opened it gently.
Jiayin was sitting in his arms and could see it most clearly, and she opened her mouth in shock!
