Chapter 206: One person's success brings prosperity to the whole family
Compared with the ups and downs in the capital, Anshun County seems to be a place of minor disturbances.
Zuoqiu released Li Tuo from prison, comforted and praised him, and sent someone to send him back to his dilapidated home.
After the news that Li Tuo was arrested and thrown into the county jail spread, Li Tuo became the laughing stock of the village, and even his parents and brothers were unable to hold their heads up.
Now, Li Tuo was sent back by the county officials. The villagers were very curious and watched him from afar.
"Dad, my son is back!"
When Li Tuo returned home, he saw his old father sitting in the yard working. A trace of disgust appeared on his face, but he quickly hid it.
Countless times, Li Tuo imagined that if he had not been born in such a family, he would definitely be famous now.
Although his family did their best to support his studies, Li Tuo was still very dissatisfied with the tight financial situation.
"Xiaoer, is that you? Is it really you?"
When Father Li heard Li Tuo's words, he thought he was hallucinating. He looked up numbly, then shook his head vigorously, staring at Li Tuo standing in the yard, and stood up excitedly.
"Dad, it's me, I'm back!"
Li Tuo looked at his father with the look of a grateful filial son, "I'm an unfilial son. I made you and mother worry!"
"Before, my son was just implicated. But now, the county magistrate has seen through everything and cleared my son's name!"
"Dad, from now on, your son will definitely let you live a good life!"
"By the way, where's my mother?"
"And what about the eldest brother, the second brother and the others?"
If it were usual, as soon as he returned home, his family would definitely gather around him.
"Ah, your mother went to your grandfather's house."
"Your eldest brother sent your mother there."
"Your second brother went to the mountains to try his luck!"
The so-called "trying your luck" means going hunting in the mountains. Although there is a lot of game in the mountains, if you are unlucky, you may not encounter any prey in a whole day.
Therefore, many people go into the mountains to hunt and rely on luck.
Just as Li Tuo was talking to his father, another runner from the county government came and brought Zuo Qiu's appointment document for Li Tuo.
Chief clerk!
With the arrival of Zuo Qiu's official document, Li Tuo instantly became the third most important person in Anshun County.
Of course, up to now, Li Tuo, the chief clerk, is just a figurehead.
But for the villagers in their village, it was a different situation.
They only knew that Li Tuo had become an official, and a very high-ranking one at that.
Under such circumstances, the members of the Li clan immediately came together and brought a variety of gifts, including gold and silver, food and drink, and even ten acres of good farmland to Li Tuo's family.
Of course, these things were sent in the name of the clan, under the pretext of allowing Li Tuo to study with peace of mind and adding more glory to the clan.
For a moment, Li Tuo began to tremble.
Even Li's father was grinning from ear to ear.
Their family lived frugally with the purpose of supporting Li Tuo. As long as Li Tuo had a promising future, their family would be able to reap the rewards of their hard work.
Everything that happens now proves that they have done nothing wrong!
When Li Tuo's second brother came back from the mountain empty-handed and heard the good news, he was overjoyed.
"Little brother, can I marry Sister Feng?"
"Okay!" Li Tuo responded immediately, "Don't worry, second brother. When mother comes back, she'll go propose marriage. Our family is no longer the same as it was before. I, your brother, am also an official. Who dares to look down on our family?"
"Hey, good, just right!"
Brother Li laughed like a fool, but suddenly stopped laughing and said, "Little brother, what if Sister Feng gets engaged?"
