Chapter 0022 enticement

There were more than a dozen Suojia servants standing in the narrow alley of Sanxian Lane, surrounded hundreds of villagers on the three floors outside the alley.

Jiuzhi Jiuzhi pointed to a group of servants in the alley and shouted to the villagers: "Did you guys see that? The Suo family is going to occupy the house of Li Sanlang. So many servants come here to grab the land deeds and everyone makes a certificate. They are all fellow villagers in the village, and the Suo family is shameless."

Hundreds of people were talking and pointing fingers at the alley. Although no one dared to stand up and be righteous, Spider Star was also a kind of support for the Li siblings.

In the Li family's living room, Li Quan looked at the sky outside the hall expressionlessly. Although Suo Mao, who was sitting on the other side of the table, had already worn out his mouth, Li Quan seemed to have not heard a word.

Li Zhen stood behind his sister, holding a small wooden box with gold in his arms, which contained the land deeds, house deeds and the right deeds of the Mogao Grottoes stone wall.

Li Zhen couldn't figure out why my sister had to let herself hold the Trust in her arms? Could it be that the Suo family really dared to rob it? Without the transfer registration of the government and the signatures of both parties and the intermediary, what's the use of robbing it?

Suo Mao was almost desperate. He originally thought that this matter was not difficult. As long as he offered a sky-high price, no one would disagree. Unexpectedly, Li Quan and his brother were unmoved.

He patiently advised, "Second Madam, think about it again! That stone wall is usually worth two or three hundred coins. Now I offer you ten times the price. You won't buy such a good thing. You can never encounter such a good thing in your life! Let's do this, how much does it cost?"

Li Quan said coldly: "I appreciate the sincerity of Master Suo Er, but I said it very clearly just now. This is not a matter of money. This is the last wish left by my grandfather to my descendants. If you hear it clearly, it is not a legacy, it is a last wish. My grandfather hopes that his descendants can open a wall for him and fulfill his wish that he has never achieved in his life. We have saved enough money and prepared to build a Buddhist cave ourselves."

Suo Mao was angry and anxious, gritted his teeth and said, "That is to erect the stone wall of the statue of Maitreya for the Holy Emperor. You are going to cause a huge disaster!"

"It's great! We are also willing to erect the Maitreya statue, whether it is for the Holy Emperor or anyone, as long as we erect the Buddha statue, even if my grandfather's last wish is fulfilled, Master Suo, please come back!"

Suo Mao said anxiously: "We will pay 5,000 guan, it's OK now!"

Even Li Zhen behind him was a little moved, five thousand guan! He can use this to do a big business. My sister was so happy that she was going crazy after earning seven hundred guan. This time it was five thousand guan, just a stone wall. So what if she gave it to them?

Although Li Zhen thought this way, he didn't say anything. He didn't discuss this with his eldest sister in advance. Maybe his eldest sister wanted ten thousand yuan. In this case, he would better not talk too much.

At this time, Meng appeared next to her at some point, and she couldn't help but persuade: "A Quan, since she is so sincere, you can agree!"

Suo Mao was excited and the other party finally broke out of division. He quickly said, "Our Su family is a noble family. We will never regret it afterwards, and we will not deceive you. As long as you agree to transfer, the money will be negotiated."

Li Quan's face turned red and white. She didn't expect that her mother-in-law would come out at this time and she turned a firm decision: "A word, don't sell it!"

Suo Mao was extremely disappointed, but he still had a glimmer of hope. At least someone on the other side was already moved and there were cracks inside. It seemed that today was not enough, so he had to wait until tomorrow.

He stood up and said, "Okay! You guys think about it again, I'll come to visit again tomorrow and say goodbye!"

He walked out of the Li family and took a group of servants and followers away...

Li Quan glanced at her mother-in-law with great dissatisfaction, got up and went back to her room. Li Zhen hurriedly followed her. Meng's face looked extremely ugly. She had her own idea to sell this stone wall and then buy a small stone wall to open a Buddha cave.

Five thousand guan! One thousand guan is enough to open a good Buddhist cave, and her family's life has improved greatly. She didn't understand why her wife refused to agree, no! She must take care of this matter, and she can't do it based on Li Quan's temperament.

In the room, Li Quan took the wooden box from his younger brother and said coldly: "Don't persuade me, no one will persuade me about this!"

Li Zhen sighed, "Sister, why bother with this?"

"Then I will tell you why I didn't agree."

Li Quan said with a firm attitude: "First, that was left by his grandfather. Whether it was given to you or me, it cannot be measured by money. Maybe you have forgotten it, but I have not forgotten what my grandfather said when he passed away.

Second, I am a revenge person. When Suo Zhiping was tampering with you when you participated in the martial arts examination, I didn’t forget it.”

"Sister, this is a bit too extreme!" Li Zhen said with a wry smile.

Li Quan looked at his brother for a moment and his tone softened a little again, "I know that 5,000 guan is very attractive, but Sister hopes that you are a principled person. There are some things that even 10,000 guan cannot betray the principle. I didn't mean that we siblings must open the Buddhist cave. To be honest, if the Suo family is really sincere, I can give him a penny if I don't want it.

But the so-called sincerity of the Suo family is not the sincerity I want. They are for the benefit of their family, disrespectful to Buddha and their grandfather's last wishes are also a blasphemy. Do you understand?"

Li Zhen nodded silently, "Sister, I understand."

Li Quan handed him the wooden box again, "You can take this with you, I'm not at ease with you, I'm worried that someone will steal it."

Li Quan glanced outside, and Li Zhen was startled, "Sister, no way!"

"I know what I know, go to the state to study! Give your lessons to the teacher these days and come back early."

Li Zhen was indeed going to rush to the state school, so he put away the box, turned around and left the room.

Shortly after Li Zhen left home, Li Quan and his mother-in-law Meng broke out in an unprecedented quarrel. This quarrel originated from the fact that women would instigate others, and the Suo family wanted to buy stone walls was the direct fuse of the quarrel.

As for how much the quarrel was, Li Zhen would know after he came back.

Li Zhen returned home at dusk. As soon as he entered the yard, he heard a crying sound from the kitchen. Li Zhen was shocked and hurried into the kitchen, but saw his sister standing in front of the stove with her back facing her and crying.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Li Quan was startled and quickly wiped away his tears, "A Zhen, you are back, I forgot to cook dinner. Really, I'm confused."

"Sister, why are you crying?" Li Zhen saw that his sister's eyes were red. He had just cried, and his anger rose. Who dared to bully his sister?

"I didn't! It was smoked when the fire was burned."

"Is it the Suo family? I'll go find them!"

Li Zhen turned around and wanted to leave, which must have something to do with the So family buying stone walls today. Li Quan hurriedly grabbed him, "It's not the So family, don't go!"

"Why is that?"

Li Quan sighed. She knew she could not hide it from her brother, so she had to tell him the truth. "After you left, I had a fight with my mother-in-law. She said I would not have a child and wanted the Buddha slave to divorce me. She was already determined and she must force her son to divorce her wife."

Li Zhen was stunned. It was common for the elder sister and her mother-in-law to argue, but it was never so serious that she actually forced her son to divorce her wife. Moreover, the reasons were sufficient. There were three unfilial things, and there were no descendants.

"Sister, it's actually because of the stone wall!"

"That's right! The old woman's eyes turned red when she heard that she had five thousand guan of money. She forced me to hand over the power contract. I refused to agree, and the conflict escalated. All the trivial things in the past were revealed. Anyway, the end result was to divorce my wife."

"Sister, this won't work."

Li Zhen knew in his heart that Cao Wen was extremely filial to his mother. If his mother would force him to divorce his wife, he would definitely agree. In this way, his sister and brother-in-law would divorce.

Li Quan sneered, "Actually, I've had enough, so let's go! Maybe in the end, she will come to beg me."

Li Zhen knew that the eldest sister and her brother-in-law had a good relationship, so of course she didn't want to, otherwise why would she hide here and cry. Li Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "I'll go and persuade Auntie! Don't go that step."

"You don't want to go, I know that she actually won't force her son to divorce her wife. She was just out of breath."

"Why?" Li Zhen asked in confusion.

Li Quan sneered, "It's very simple! This house belongs to you and the land belongs to mine. She has to move out after divorce. Their old house in Shouchang County has been sold long ago, and the money has been donated to the woman. Where can she live? Besides, her son's meager salary is not enough to buy her medicine every month."

Li Zhen was relieved, but his eldest sister was still very good, and he saw through things. He smiled and said, "Sister said something is reasonable."

Li Quan shook his head and said, "It doesn't make sense. It's the truth. She knows very well in her heart. When she calms down, how should she live the same life. I just cried because she was so angry that she said bad things about me in women's clubs all day long, thinking I don't know?"

At this moment, someone asked at the gate, "Is anyone at home?"

Li Quan hurriedly walked to the yard and saw a middle-aged man standing at the door. He looked a little familiar, but Li Quan forgot for a moment, "You are..."

"Did Li Erniang forget me? I am the housekeeper of the Li family."

Li Quan suddenly remembered that he was the housekeeper of the Li family, "Is there anything wrong with Housekeeper Li?"

"That's right, isn't it already March? According to convention, we have to settle the family income of last year for each family. Saburo's name is also on the list. The Presbyterian Council asked me to inform Saburo to attend the clan meeting."

"Come on tonight?"

"I'm just registering tonight, but if I don't register tonight, it's like giving up. Anyway, you guys decide for yourself! I'm just here to notify me, and I'm going to inform other families and leave first."

The housekeeper smiled and walked quickly.

"It's so strange. I haven't thought of us for so many years, but I thought of it this year. It's very strange!" Li Zhen sneered.

"I don't think it's strange. Even General Wang has written a letter of recommendation to you. The Li family has always been snobbish and of course they will look at us with admiration. Last time I met the head of the family on the road, he apologized to me, so the family will naturally have your share of the profits."

Li Zhen shook his head, "I don't want the money from the Li family, I won't go!"

Li Quan poked his brother's forehead and said, "You are so stupid, why don't you? It's your thing, you don't just know how to get cheaper. Last year, Li Yang's family got twenty coins. He is the same as ours, and you must have at least a dozen coins."

Li Zhen really didn't understand. The eldest sister didn't want 5,000 guan, but she had to compete for more than 10 guan of tribe money. He had to smile bitterly and nodded, "Anyway, I don't want it, just give it to the eldest sister!"

"Of course it's for me, what do you think?"

Li Quan glared at him and smiled and said, "I'll go change my clothes, let's go together!"
