Chapter 117:

Zhou Chengkang ran away for a long time, and now he had the meal. He gobbled up two bowls, took the dishes to the kitchen, and went to wash up again. Xiyu was already asleep after entering the door.
"Mother is very worried." Zhou Chengkang whispered while lying on the bed.
Li Qinghe didn't answer, no matter how bad Zhou Boss is, Zhou Mu, as a mother, must be worried.
It was quiet at night, and from time to time the dog barking in the village came, and the two gradually fell asleep.
The next day it was dark, and someone knocked on the door outside, Zhou Chengkang got up and opened, and then Zhou's mother's voice came in.
"No matter what grudges your elder brother has with you, you will always be two brothers. You can't ignore him at this time."
Hearing this, Li Qinghe opened his eyes, cloaked up and went out. It was not cold in the morning in May, and I saw Zhou Mu in the yard at a glance.
Zhou Chengkang was washing, but did not answer.
Seeing Li Qinghe coming out, Zhou's mother was a little embarrassed, "Qinghe, be careful at home these days, take Xiyu well, we will go back."
"Mother, I didn't say I want to go." Zhou Chengkang wiped his face with the kerchief. "The county seat is too far away. There is still something in my forest."
Zhou's mother's face changed slightly, "You mean you don't want to care about your elder brother? Let the grievances between brothers go first, then they should be consistent with the outside world."
When I woke up at this hour, I couldn't sleep anymore. Li Qinghe also went to wash up, and asked, "Mother, third brother, are you going?"
Zhou Mu dumbly said, "What is he going to do? The fourth child has been to the county a few times and can find the way. The most important thing is that Lin Zhixian knows the fourth child. If he helps plead with him, the county magistrate will definitely check it carefully. "
"Others don't know, you two always know your elder brother's temperament. He just became greedy for a while and won't kill. As long as you check carefully, he will be fine."
The calculations are clear. The two of them know Lin Zhixian, but why should they beg for Boss Zhou?
Zhou Chengkang has gone into the kitchen to cook, but he has no intention of packing up and leaving.
Mother Zhou was anxious and chased into the kitchen, "Fourth old man, you are so..."
"Mother." Li Qinghe entered the door holding the firewood, "We are brothers of the eldest brother, but there are two elder brothers and three elder brothers above. Even if the second elder brother is married, he is always from the Zhou family? If they go, we will Go together, if they don't go, why should we go?"
"Also, if Sister-in-law doesn't go, we won't go either." Li Qinghe looked serious, "It's not that easy to ask for help. If nothing else, I just want to see my eldest brother and ask about the inside story. You can't see people without money. You may not be able to see it if you put money into it. It's impossible for us to post it, right?"
"In fact, when my eldest brother brought Chengkang to the forest to feed the wolf, he never thought that he would beg for this younger brother. Sister-in-law didn’t come in person, we would not take the initiative to do so, lest people think we are troublesome. ."
Mentioning the childhood incident again, Zhou's mother's face paled, "I blamed me for that. For a mother, a child in the world, the eldest child at that time actually didn't understand it, because I didn't like the fourth child... now it is not. When talking about this, find the boss first, and then we will talk about it, okay?"
"You said you want Meihua to come in person, I'll go now." She turned and hurried away.
Originally, when you ask for someone, you have to beg for someone. What is the matter if the old mother comes forward for everything?
If Mei really came to invite Li Qinghe, it didn't matter, Zhang Haiyao would definitely sneer. Since Lady Liu died, her eyes were high, and these concubines were no one in her eyes. Now that Boss Zhou has something wrong, she hasn't come forward yet, waiting for these people to take the initiative to help?
It's beautiful!
Mei's came really fast, with a sincere attitude, "Fourth brother, this time I really trouble you to help. Second brother and third brother, I've talked about them, and they will also go together."
"It's just another thing," she was a little embarrassed. "I didn't plan to go because Healy was at home and I have to take care of the children. Now if I go, can Healy be sent to you?"
"Don't!" Li Qinghe raised his hand and refused, "If Xili is not optimistic about something wrong, then you can't say that we deliberately retaliate? Let Sansao show it to you."
Mei's face was pale, "The third sibling said she wants to go too."
"What about Xiwei?" Li Qinghe asked in surprise, "Isn't it also sent here?"
No wonder she asked, it takes two days away from the county seat, and adults find it hard, not to mention children. What's more, I don't know when this case will be tried until it is delayed. It is impossible to say one or two months, but one or two years are possible.
"She wants to take Xiwei with her." Speaking of this, Mei's complexion was not very good. She was obviously going to save people, but Zhang Haiyao made it seem like she was going back to her family.
Just go back to my family!
Since the Zhang family moved to the county seat, she hasn't been there once in the past few years. She occasionally receives news from there. Maybe the Zhang family is doing well recently, and sometimes they send her things.
"Then you'd better take it with you," Li Qinghe said calmly, "it is inevitable that the children will bump into each other together, lest you worry, I don't have to bother."
In the afternoon, a wagon full of talents packed up and set off. After sending people away, Li Qinghe had to go back to Zhou's yard to help Zhang Haiyao feed the chickens.
This chicken has been fed by Zhou Laosan since he had a child, and he specially fed the child eggs. I went back all the time. She also stopped by the Li's house. I met a lot of people on the way. Many people were curious to ask her: How is the boss?
Li Qinghe only answered that he didn't know.
She really didn't know.
If it can be proved that Boss Zhou did not participate, it would be okay, if no evidence can be found to prove his innocence, and the two people over there insist on saying that if he participates, maybe he will pay for his life, then it really won't come back.
Everyone in the village knows that the Zhou brothers have gone to the county town to find a way. It is slack in the farming industry and the weather is good. Every family is busy cutting firewood, and some go out to do part-time jobs. Someone also asked if Li Qinghe's family had anything to help lately.
Yu Yan came this day. Her son did look good, with fair skin, comparable to Xiwei, and at first glance he was a handsome little girl.
"Do you want to buy the land over there?" Yu Yan asked with a smile.
She asked about the wasteland of the Yang family and the barren slopes. Li Qinghe shook his head, "I won't buy it for now. The 40 acres behind me are still filling in silver." I'll wait until the medicinal materials can be recovered to earn money.
"Yesterday the mother and daughter begged me to come to me." Yu Yan smiled, "Said that the people in the town chase them so hard, and that they will be sent to the dirty place if they don't."
This is also normal. Whatever causes and results, this is a debt owed by Xu Changjie, and they will definitely not be let go.
No one really bought the wasteland. Even if it was made into Li Qinghe's terraced land, it would barely have a harvest. However, the human and financial resources invested in it are not at all, and no one in this village can afford it.
Within two days, Li Qinghe heard the news. Yang Lanrou went to the mayor and asked him to write a letter for Xu’s family and leave the village for her, and then took her mother out of the village. No one knew where she went.
As for the barren slopes, ponds, and land, they are all handed over to the mayor to help him make peace, hoping that the creditor will receive these things and the account will be written off.
The mother and daughter ran away, and the creditor had to admit it if he didn't want it.
It is worth mentioning that the pond is a gift from Yang Lanrou for helping the mayor, and the wasteland and slopes are the debts of the Yang family. When Xu Changjie bought the land, he imitated Zhou Chengkang and wrote Huangpo's wife's name. Otherwise, the ten acres of Huangpo would still be handed in, and the debt would not be paid here. It is equivalent to borrowing ten taels of silver to buy a barren slope. After that, you have to buy four acres of land before you can count the debt.
In fact, if Yang's father operated it himself, he would not necessarily get to this point. The main reason was that he hadn't counted the stingy of a woman of Xu's mother. It was true that those people had a handle, but they couldn't make people anxious. There is a degree during this period, which must be measured. Father Yang can do it, Mother Xu can't.
Zhou Chengkang and the others really went there for more than a month this time, and when they came back they finally brought with them the much thinner Zhou boss.
It was May when I came back, and the weather was hot. When Zhou Chengkang got home, he washed up. The food was already on the table. After eating two bowls, he sighed, "It's still comfortable at home."
Li Qinghe poured tea for him and asked with a smile, "How? Isn't he troublesome?"
"Trouble." Zhou Chengkang took the tea. "The two men did not let go. The county magistrate interrogated them every day. Later, they found out that when they started the murderer, their confessions were not right. This cleared the suspicion for the older brother."
I haven't seen each other for nearly two months. Zhou Chengkang feels that not only his daughter-in-law looks better, but even Xiyu seems to be a bit taller. The most important thing is that she is tanned.
It was as black as a piece of charcoal, and he couldn't react for a long time when he saw it, "Xie Yu, what's wrong with you?"
Speaking of this, Li Qinghe was helpless. Yu Yan at the back told her son that the boy’s face was too pale, so the two children ran away to bask in the sun when they were free. Xiyu was okay, Yan'er’s face was peeling. Success was dark, and it hurt for several days.
"Father, it looks so good." Xi Yu is serious.
The children's aesthetics is really different, Zhou Chengkang sternly said, "Starting tomorrow, practice calligraphy."
I've been playing crazy for the past two months, okay? I practiced writing when I remembered, and I didn't rub ink all day when I didn't remember it.
Xi Yu nodded hurriedly, "Okay! Let's be together."
together?
The next day the father and son really spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to practice calligraphy. After half a day, they have already found the feeling, written well, and have time. Zhou Chengkang said, "We still have to take Dr. Huang, let’s pass by. Study medicine..."
Just as he was talking, someone knocked on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw Mei, "I will have dinner tonight. These days, thanks to my fourth brother, thank you very much."
Mei's also lost a lot of weight, and his eyebrows were a little haggard, but his eyes were bright.
Since the couple moved to the town, they have not invited them to dinner for several years. I still have to go. I helped me decently. I don't feel bad about eating this meal.
When the two went to the village, Li Qinghe asked curiously, "Do they spend a lot of money?"
