Chapter 9, don't take it seriously
Everyone in the Li family is very greedy for a box of medicinal materials, and now the eldest family is clearly trying to occupy that box of medicinal materials, which makes Li Laoniang feel very uncomfortable.
In addition to the fact that Li Wuya beat Li Changlin yesterday, Jin Yue'e not only didn't scold Li Wuya, but also didn't come to apologize to Li Changlin, and Mrs. Li became even more angry.
When eating morning food in the morning, Mrs. Li's face was drawn long, as if she was very unhappy.
In the current social environment, every family is generally ruled by the elderly. In addition, the Great Chu ruled the world with filial piety. The power of the elderly is undoubtedly the greatest at home, and the sons and grandchildren in the family have to listen to the elderly.
Like the Li family, Father Li is the head of the family, and all outside affairs are under his control.
And Mrs. Li is in charge of everything in the family, such as food and drink distribution, housework distribution, financial expenses, etc.
Now that she is upset, the rest of the family should take it easy.
However, the Dafang family directly ignored this, and they should eat and drink.
Li Wuya glanced at Mrs. Li, and once again sighed in her heart that her grandma is really not smart.
No matter what you do, you have to analyze the specific situation in detail, and you have to pay attention to a premise in everything.
The elderly can be the masters of the house, and the elderly can also say the same thing, but there are prerequisites for this.
The premise is that the elderly must have the ability, either to support the whole family, to ensure that the whole family is not trapped by food and clothing; or to be highly respected and to convince the children and grandchildren.
Mrs. Li doesn't have anything to do with these two, and she is still biased. In this case, she still wants to be the old lord at home, is it possible?
Seeing Jin Yuee and Li Sanlang's four brothers and sisters treating themselves as air, Mrs. Li became even more angry, and immediately said:
"Boss, daughter-in-law, I will take care of everything in the house. Bring me the box of medicinal materials that you brought back yesterday after dinner."
As soon as the words came out, the rest of the Li family immediately looked over.
Medical materials are precious things, so a big box can definitely sell for a lot of money, right?
An angry look crossed Jin Yue'e's face, and she said bluntly: "Mother, that medicine is reserved for the head of the family."
"In recent years, border wars have continued, and every time the head of the family comes back, he is wounded. The box of medicine was brought back by Saburo and Wuya at the risk of being punished by the nobles. The daughter-in-law will not give it to anyone."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li slapped the table with a 'slap', looked at Jin Yue'e and said sternly: "I, as a mother-in-law, can't call you anymore, can I? Look at yourself, do you still have any pranks?" Does she look like a daughter-in-law?"
Li Changlin answered immediately: "That's right, sister-in-law, contradicting mother-in-law, you are very unfilial!"
Others also chimed in.
Li Wuya looked at the greedy Li family with some annoyance. This group of moths were used to asking for money. They thought that everything in the big house belonged to them. Just as they were about to say something, Li Sanlang stood up.
Li Sanlang didn't look at Mrs. Li, nor did he care about the rest of the Li family, but looked straight at Father Li: "Master, is my father still your son?"
Old father Li's heart was shocked, and he quickly said unhappy: "You child, what nonsense are you talking about, your father is of course my son."
Li Sanlang: "In this case, my mother has already said that the medicine is for my father, why do you still want it?"
Li Erya also muttered: "How can a father or mother see his son injured and go to grab his son's life-saving medicine?"
These words made Father Li very ashamed. He turned to look at Mrs. Li, and said in a loud voice, "You can't stop eating even after eating. The medicine is reserved for the boss. You are not allowed to ask the boss's wife again."
Mrs. Li moved her lips and glared at Li Sanlang, but she really didn't mention the medicine anymore.
Li Wuya glanced at her, feeling a little strange.
Although her grandma always listened to her master in matters outside, but in matters at home, her grandma would never compromise easily.
A box of medicines is definitely considered a huge fortune in the Li family, and her grandma just compromised like this? It's not like her style!
A farce ended like this.
"Brother, you are amazing!"
Li Sanlang laughed and said: "The family is still in the hands of the master."
Li Wuya sneered: "My lord is just a display. If you didn't stand up just now, I can guarantee that my lord will not stop me."
Li Sanlang's expression darkened, and he was silent for a while: "I still want to save some face."
Li Wuya smiled: "Yeah, I want to save face. In the future, if my grandma wants to rob the big house again, we will go directly to him. If he doesn't show up, I will make everyone in the army known."
Li Sanlang listened and rubbed Li Wuya's head: "Family ugliness should not be publicized. It is better to close the door if it can be solved. Grandpa and grandma lose face, and we will be criticized by others."
Li Wuya disagrees: "As long as I can achieve my goal, I will be said as long as I am said, and I will not lose a piece of meat, so I don't care."
Li Erya came over: "You don't care now, you will care when you grow up. Which girl doesn't care about her reputation?"
Li Wuya curled her lips, wronging herself for the sake of a mere reputation, she would not do it.
Li Erya looked a little unhappy, still angry about what happened at the dinner table: "I really don't know why grandma just doesn't like us, so dad is not his son?"
Li Wuya: "Sister, you don't need to be angry because of grandma, so as not to anger yourself."
She really didn't take Mrs. Li seriously. No, it should be said that she didn't pay attention to the rest of the Li family except the eldest family.
Her grandma used nothing more than three methods to coerce the big house. One was to deprive them of food, the other was to assign them more housework, and the third was to spread unfilial remarks about them in the army.
In the past, the family’s rations had to be produced by the military farm, and Mrs. Li had always collected the food in the field. In this case, she could still control the big house by deducting food.
But since her father became Xiaoqi, he can get the salary from the family every month, and Mrs. Li can't afford to deduct the big house's food any more.
Without him, her father directly handed over the salary to her mother for safekeeping.
As for allocating more housework, her mother doesn't swallow her anger when things happen. Once she finds out that the first room has done too much, she immediately asks the second room and the third room to be the same.
Regarding the dissemination of unfilial remarks by the big family in the army, if Mrs. Li can spread it, can they not?
After Li Wuya can speak, as long as she finds out that Mrs. Li secretly feeds the children of the second and third bedrooms, she will take Li Qilang out, and she will say that Mrs. Li is eccentric.
After three or four years, Mrs. Li's eccentricity and harsh treatment of the big house has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the entire army.
Again, Li Changsen went to the guard at the age of thirteen to serve as a soldier. The reason why he went so young was because he took the place of old man Li.
A man who has served his father in the military for more than 20 years, if you say he is unfilial, no one will believe him.
It’s still the same sentence, without the means and ability to restrain people, Mrs. Li can’t make any troubles, at most she can show her prestige verbally.
Li Qilang on the side said: "Fifth sister, I knew we should ask for money. Anyway, the money can be hidden, and grandma doesn't know."
Li Wuya laughed and said: "Qilang, medicinal materials are much more valuable than silver. For us, silver is just a coin that can be used to buy things, but medicinal materials are genuine and scarce resources."
"In a prosperous and stable area, money is easy to carry, so it is natural to take money; but here we are at the border, and the medicinal materials at the border are not only expensive, but also rare. We have no connections, so of course we need medicinal materials."
Li Sanlang looked at Li Wuya in surprise: "Little sister, where did you hear these truths?"
Li Wuya: "... I heard from Fan Xiucai in the village." I didn't want Li Sanlang to continue asking, so I quickly changed the subject, "I don't know if the group of guards at Dieling have left?"
Li Erya shook her head: "Not yet, when I went to fetch firewood just now, I saw brother Gu Zi from Yi Cheng's family, and Gu Zi brother said that the guards would stay at the post for two days, and would not leave until the new Yi Cheng arrived. "
Hearing this, Li Sanlang was shocked: "Xin Yicheng? Isn't Grandpa Yicheng going to be replaced?"
Li Erya nodded: "It should be, Brother Guzi is very unhappy today." As he spoke, his face showed worry, "The post-cheng has been replaced, so mother's errand will not be gone, right?"
Li Sanlang was silent for a while: "I heard that the secret passage under the post station leads directly to the outside of the pass. General Zhuang will definitely send more powerful people to guard the post station."
Li Wuya frowned: "They shouldn't have filled the secret passage, right? I even hid something in it."
The blood ginseng and blood sesame obtained from Huyanjina, she was afraid of being confiscated, so she hid them in the secret passage.
Li Sanlang: "I'll go to the station later to have a look."
"I want to go too." Li Wuya said hastily.
