Chapter 430 431. There is news
Li Zhengguang grabbed his hand and held it in his own, as if this could give the old man in front of him more strength, "Uncle, there is news about aunt."
"Any news about your aunt?" Li Bingkun held Li Zhengguang's hand tightly, his eyes widened instantly, and scared Li Zhengda and Li Zhengming beside him so much that they quickly patted him on the back.
"Tell me quickly," Li Bingkun asked impatiently as he calmed down, "Where is your aunt now?"
"Aunt, someone has been sent to look for me. I haven't asked where he is yet, but he's outside right now..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhengguang regretted it. Why didn't he remember to ask a few more questions? If it was good news, the old man would be happy to hear it, but if it was bad news, how would it end?
"Quick, please invite them in." Li Bingkun was excited. Before his elder brother passed away, he was always thinking about his younger sister.
I hope I can find my sister before I leave, so that I can give an explanation to my parents and elder brother when I go to the underground.
As soon as Luo Gang entered the room, he was sure that he had found the right person this time. The uncle in front of him looked 50% similar to the old lady.
"My humble servant Luo Gang greets my uncle. I hope I am well." Luo Gang knelt down and kowtowed in a proper manner, shocking the three generations of the Li family.
"Hurry up and stand up and talk. We farmers don't have so many rules. Come and sit next to me." Li Bingkun patted the seat next to him. He was afraid that he might miss something because his hearing was not working well.
Luo Gang carefully sat in a corner, next to the edge of the kang.
Li Bingkun narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Gang. "Just now, our boy said that he had news about my sister. How are they now? Are they doing well?"
Luo Gang briefly described the current situation of the Gu family, and did not forget to help Gu Dashi fill in the blanks, "After traveling all the way, the old man is not feeling well. He is now resting in the town. I will definitely visit you when the time comes."
After hearing so much, the Li family felt as if they were still in a dream. They were clearly fleeing for their lives and were escaping a near-death situation, but they didn't expect that their aunt and her family would actually turn a disaster into a blessing.
"Okay! As long as my younger sister is doing well, I can rest assured." Li Bingkun nodded continuously. If her sister's children and grandchildren are promising, she will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
He turned around and looked at his children. "When I am gone, you brothers must support each other and let the children learn more so that they can have more skills to make a living in the future."
At this point, he looked into the void, "You three brothers, take good care of the family inheritance. Knowing that your aunt is doing well, you can worry less. Her life has not been easy. She will have to look after her children and grandchildren in the future. Unless it is absolutely necessary, don't bother her."
As for the brother-in-law who had not visited him, Su Bingkun was too lazy to even mention him. Although he was old, he was not easy to deceive.
Just now, when Luo Gang talked about Gu Dashi, his eyes flickered. They had seen through his character and regretted it long before their sister got married.
But fortunately, my sister’s sons are promising, so they have someone to rely on even if their parents are not around.
He patted the child's head and said, "You guys go out and entertain the guests. I'll take a nap."
The three Li brothers choked with sobs as they helped the old man lie down on the kang and covered him with a quilt.
Luo Gang pursed his lips, took out the silver note that the old lady had stuffed into his pocket, and carefully placed it under the old man's pillow. "This is what my old lady asked me to bring back for her brother. You should have a good rest."
Li Bingkun, "No need, my brother and I don't need it anymore. Tell her that my brother can no longer protect her."
As the old man's voice disappeared, his eyes also closed. The three Li brothers who had been standing next to him felt that the old man was no longer breathing and could not help but howl and cry.
Luo Gang quietly retreated to the door, and once again took note of Gu Dashi in his heart, believing that the old lady would settle accounts with him when she returned.
Gu Dashi, who was sleeping in the inn with a quilt in his arms, suddenly felt a chill and muttered, "I didn't know how to add more fuel to the kang. I'm freezing to death."
The Li brothers looked at the large-denomination silver notes in their hands, which amounted to fifty taels. They quickly stuffed them into Luo Gang's arms as if they were hot potatoes.
"Take this back to my aunt. We can still make a living now, so we dare not take it from her."
Luo Gang: "..." We have to sell food to buy coffins, how can we survive?
He said sincerely, "The old lady had already made instructions before I came here. Even if the two uncles are not found, as long as they are descendants of the Li family, this silver is a token of her kindness as an aunt.
The old lady also told you that if you really want to go there, she will help you settle down there."
The three brothers of the Li family looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, "Now that we know that our aunt is safe, we feel relieved and will not go over to cause trouble to her.
But I'd like to trouble Brother Luo to take the silver back."
Luo Gang, "The three young masters don't need to be so nervous. The old lady can still afford this little bit of money.
Even if you want to reassure the old lady, you should accept the silver.
Otherwise, I will have a hard time explaining to the old lady when I return."
"Then I will hand it over to my son-in-law when the time comes," Li Zhengguang thought of Gu Dashi who came here with him. It would be the same if he handed it over to his son-in-law. This way, he wouldn't have to embarrass Brother Luo.
Luo Gang, "I advise the three young masters not to do this, this banknote was given to me privately by the old lady.
If you leave it to the old master, the old lady will be in trouble."
He wanted to reveal a little about what Gu Dashi had done, but in the end he changed his tone, hoping that the three brothers would not be so dull.
Fortunately, the three brothers were not stupid and fell silent after hearing what he said.
"Just keep it safe. Our master will not treat the old lady badly. Besides, the masters now have money on hand, and they will honor the old lady every now and then.
On the contrary, you should live a good life and save the old lady some worries, which is also a kind of filial piety. "
After Luo Gang's persuasion, the brothers agreed to accept the silver note temporarily, and then began to quickly arrange the old man's funeral.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do to help here, Luo Gang rented a carriage from the village and quickly went to the county town to report the news.
Gu Dashi, who was about to have dinner, heard the news and cursed, saying "bad luck", which made Gu Datian, who was sitting next to her, slap her in the face.
“Don’t stare at me like that, everyone has been patient with you along the way.
You haven't even washed the dirt off your feet, but you're acting like a big shot all day long.
I thought people like you would be a little carried away by sudden wealth, but would return to normal after a while.
I didn't expect that you don't even understand the ways of the world now."
