Chapter 346： The toad yawns!

Chapter 346 The toad yawns!

The mother-in-law sneered in her heart and her expression became more and more contemptuous.

Since he is from a small family, he was frightened by just a few words.

This time, maybe the madam can get her wish, and she can also get a huge benefit!

Thinking this way, the old woman pondered and spoke.

"What our lady means is that walls have ears. No one can guarantee whether this matter will spread. If your boy is let go, it will be leaked. It will not be easy for our lady to get married in the future. Therefore, Madam wants to give Miss, prepare more dowry.

"Although your shop is not big and the business is not good, it is right across from the academy and is convenient for walking around, so you gave this shop to our lady. Of course, you have to take your steamed buns and pancakes and cooking recipes with you. In addition, give our lady six hundred taels of silver to buy clothes and jewelry.

"If you can do this, then your boy will be released immediately and he will not be an official. Otherwise, our wife will tell the master that your boy will be in jail by then, and your two grandsons who are studying are I’m afraid I won’t be able to stay in the academy.”

Before Mrs. Li could say anything, Li Laosan became anxious, "No, you are taking advantage of the situation! You need prescriptions for a shop and six hundred taels of silver? Why don't you become bandits!"

The mother-in-law jumped at the scolding, "Who asked your boy to seduce our lady? If you give it, forget it. If you don't give it, you will go to the official!"

Li Laosan's eyes were bloodshot with anger. He, an honest man, was really being forced to go crazy.

The three of them have worked so hard for so long that the shop has made a total of several hundred taels of silver. Now they have to give everyone not only recipes but also prescriptions.

If you don’t give it, your son will go to jail and your nephew’s future will be ruined. This is simply too much!

Old Mrs. Li stopped her son and asked Mrs. Xiang, "That's all, there's nothing else, right?"

The mother-in-law's tone was wrong when she heard this, but she couldn't guess anything, so she responded: "Yes, that's all."

“Okay,” the old lady pulled her granddaughter back a few words, and then said, “Third brother, tie her up and gag her!”

Li Laosan was stunned for a moment, then gave the woman a hard kick, causing her to fall to the ground.

The old lady still screamed, but her mouth was stuffed with a rag, and then her hands were cut off from behind her back.

Jiayin Dianding ran to the corner of the courtyard and pulled a straw rope. Li Laosan took it and tied the old woman tightly.

After finishing all this, he asked my mother, "Mom, why did you tie her up?"

The old lady laughed when she heard that. There was nothing going on at the moment. Mr. Wen hadn't arrived and Zhao Yuru hadn't come back. She simply said a few more words to break things up and let her son learn the truth and be more thoughtful in the future. .

She took her son to the front shop and told Jiayin, "Fu Niuer, go sit at the door for a while."

"I know, grandma." Jiayin ran to guard the door.

At noon in autumn, the sun is still very bright.

There were not many people walking around on the street, but the shops were already busy because classes were about to end in the college.

The bluestone streets are very clean, and the houses on both sides are antique. Occasionally, a vendor will shout feebly.

If you have nothing to worry about, this is really a good place to relax.

Jiayin held her chin and looked at the intersection from time to time, but unfortunately her carriage never appeared.

On the contrary, after Li Laosan had eaten the reassurance given by his mother, he actually started busy making buns and cooking porridge, and planned to continue doing business. "Fu Niu'er, hang out at the door and go inside to accompany your grandma. Third uncle has to work."

Jiayin blinked her big eyes twice and ran into the yard quickly.

The old lady was helping to pick vegetables. When her granddaughter came in, she said directly without waiting for her to ask: "Don't worry, your third uncle is not crazy! Your father doesn't know when he will invite Mr. Wen over, so our family must be stable. When doing business, don't let others see the problem. It's best to make the other party confused first, so that our family can do things better. "

Jiayin was relieved, but pouted again, and began to worry about her brother, "Grandma, will they beat my brother? I'm afraid he will be hurt!"

The old lady snorted coldly and cursed: "If he has the courage to get into trouble, he must have the courage to take it on himself. He deserves to be beaten. He thought he was the most honest child, but he ended up getting into trouble without saying a word!"

“What kind of place is the academy? How dare he do this? Why didn’t he think about his family and his brothers who were studying in the academy?”

That is what she said, but when the old lady picked the green vegetables, she threw the young leaves into the broken basket and the rotten leaves into the basin. It was obvious that she was also thinking about her grandson.

At this time, Zhao Yuru came back in a hurry. As soon as she entered the yard, she couldn't help shouting, "Mom, I found out!"

“Stop yelling, come here and tell me!” Mrs. Li called her daughter-in-law to come forward and asked in a low voice: “Is Mrs. Peng’s marriage renewed? Or does she not want to see her daughter?”

Zhao Yuru nodded and shook her head, and Jiayin grabbed her sleeve anxiously.

She hugged Jiayin and said excitedly: "Mom, there is no wife in the Peng family at all! Mr. Peng's first wife passed away seven or eight years ago, leaving behind a daughter. Mr. Peng took a restaurant owner's youngest daughter as his concubine. Two years ago, I just gave birth to a baby. It is said that this concubine is taking care of the Peng family’s backyard.”

The old lady also laughed, threw away the food in her hand and cursed: "No wonder that mother-in-law said seduction and adultery! Whose daughter didn't hide it when something like this happened to her? She was afraid that what she said was not unpleasant enough. It was obvious. It's because he doesn't respect his own lady on a daily basis.

"The slaves are watching the master's actions. I guess this concubine is a thorn in the side of his first wife's daughter! What else did the mother-in-law say about her wife, and a concubine deserves to be called madam? Our boy might have been discovered by others a long time ago, and he has always been like this. Waiting for today!

“You still need our shop and recipe to make a dowry for the girl? Bah, this concubine is just stepping on the original daughter-in-law to carry things for her parents’ family!”

Zhao Yuru was confused and quickly looked at Li Laosan who was walking over. Li Laosan simply said a few words.

Zhao Yuru gritted her teeth angrily, "It's like a toad yawning, what a big mouth!"

The old lady waved her hand, "Okay, don't worry, let's do business first. Mr. Wen and Mr. Peng are classmates and friends, so today's matter is not difficult to solve.

"Our boy doesn't understand the rules. His concubine is also plotting against his legitimate daughter, and they are both wrong. When the wife is released, let's ask her what's going on and discuss what to do in the future."

“We listen to our mother!” Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru had a backbone. Although they missed their son, they also put on their aprons and started busy.

Soon, the college had its lunch break, students poured out of the door, and the shop was immediately packed.

Brother Li came to the shop jumping up and down. When he saw his grandma and sister, he was so happy.

The old lady ate with her grandson, asked about the school's chores, and then personally sent her grandson to the gate of the college.

Hearing that grandma was staying overnight, Brother Li reluctantly went in.

As the old lady walked back, she saw a little girl poking her head not far from the shop, and asked, "Little girl, what's wrong with you?"

As a result, the little girl was frightened like a rabbit and ran away.

A cold look flashed in the old lady's eyes, and she went back without paying much attention.

After the last student had to be sent away, the academy soon closed its doors and the streets became quiet again.

Li Laosan and his wife were washing dishes and thinking about their son. At this time, Li Laosi and Mr. Wen finally arrived.
