Chapter 45: a tael of silver
Chapter 45 One tael of silver
Li Hexiang knelt down like that, her whole body trembling, and suddenly she cried loudly as if she had an emotional breakdown.
"Li Hexiang! You unfilial girl! What do you want a tael of silver for?" The village head, Old Li Tou, pointed at Li Hexiang with trembling hands, his expression very angry and sad.
"One tael of silver! One tael of silver!" Surprised voices came from the crowd.
This tael of silver is not a small amount. It seems that this matter is not that simple.
"Miss Li, why do you want a tael of silver? No wonder your father is angry! Hurry up and tell your father!" An old woman looked at Li Hexiang worriedly.
Li Hexiang shook her head, her eyes were still fixed, as if she was stupid.
Old Li was so angry that he was panting all the time, and the surrounding villagers didn't dare to say anything. After all, this was the village head's family business.
At this time, Mrs. Chen came out, "Old man!" Mrs. Chen called out to Old Li.
The village chief didn't respond, but still looked at Li Hexiang angrily.
"Old man! We only have this one daughter! What are you going to do! What can't be said properly! You must embarrass our daughter in front of the neighbors!" Chen stamped her feet.
Old Litou saw that Chen was angry, and quickly took Chen's hand, "Don't be angry, this... our daughter wants a tael of silver!" Old Litou sighed for a long time.
Chen's eyes widened, "This... He Xiang, why do you want a tael of silver?" Chen looked at Li Hexiang with surprise on his face.
"That's right! One tael of silver is not a small sum, so you should apologize to your father immediately." The old woman greeted her.
Li Hexiang raised her head suddenly, "Mother! You must give me this tael of silver!"
Old Li heard that his temper had reached its peak, and he picked up the broom next to him and was about to hit Li Hexiang.
The villagers saw it and said, "The village chief can't do it!" They all made a sound in surprise.
"Stop it!" Mrs. Chen grabbed the broom. When the village chief saw it, he immediately let go of the broom, and Mrs. Chen shook off the broom.
Mrs. Chen looked at Li Hexiang who was crying like pear blossoms and rain, her heart felt like being beaten by something, and she hugged Li Hexiang tightly.
The room was filled with the sound of Li Hexiang's wailing, which woke up the emerald green leaves, causing them to fall from the tree and land in front of Li Hexiang and Chen Shi.
"The village chief! Something must be wrong with this child! Let the child talk first!" The old woman walked in front of the village chief and said earnestly.
"What! It's only a tael of silver! Give the lotus fragrance!" Chen shouted at the village chief.
"Do you still want to beat Hexiang? Has Hexiang been beaten since you were a child? Do you still want to beat her? Who else do you want to spoil the only daughter you don't love!" After Chen finished speaking, her hand holding Li Hexiang became tighter. up.
When Li Hexiang heard it, her mother loved her and supported her, so she immediately gained confidence.
"Father! You must give me this tael of silver!" Li Hexiang retracted into Chen's arms after finishing speaking.
Old Li wanted to talk about her again, but his wife said to give her the money, so what can he say? But his heart hurts.
A tael of silver is really nothing to the village head's family, but the village head is very stingy, he doesn't usually take out the money, and he doesn't want to change his clothes after wearing them for several years, but he treats his wife He and his daughter are very good, otherwise, what can we do? If the village chief is not afraid of Mrs. Li, he will probably suffer a lot of beatings if he looks at Li Hexiang's habit.
