On the second day of the New Year, it was time to go back to her parents' home. Early in the morning, Lin was busy preparing gifts for the father and daughter to go to her eldest brother's house.
While Lin was packing, she watched her brother staring at the snacks in the car. "Feng'er, why don't you go back with your brothers-in-law to see big brother?"
Lin Feng didn't respond to his sister's words. Instead, he went back to the house, got a lambswool coat, put it in the car, and told Li Yan, "Don't tell anyone, I told you to bring it! With your uncle's temper, he would definitely throw it away if he knew!"
Li Yan looked at her uncle who was speaking seriously and sighed helplessly, "It's obvious that they both still care about each other, but neither of them is willing to give in first!"
Li Erlang packed up the mule cart and urged his daughter to get on: "Alright, hurry up and get on. We'll be back sooner rather than later!"
After Li Yan sat down, Li Erlang immediately drove the mule cart and set off.
The north wind was howling. Li Yan wore the small hat made by her aunt today. I think her aunt would be happy to see it.
When Li Erlang drove the mule cart to Linjia Village, he saw his uncle standing in front of the door looking out from afar. When Li Erlang drove up, he hurried to greet him and said, "It's cold outside, right? Come on, come inside and warm yourself by the fire." After saying that, he was about to take the reins from Li Erlang's hand.
Li Yan saw her uncle and quickly jumped off the mule cart. She asked crisply, "Happy New Year, Uncle!"
In the children's minds, Lin An has always been synonymous with strictness, and few children can see him smiling.
Lin An was infected by Li Yan's smiling face, and couldn't help but relax his tense facial expression. He said gently: "Good boy, go home quickly, your aunt is making you something delicious!"
Li Erlang took the piece of meat, several packets of snacks, and the lambswool coat that Lin Feng had asked him to wear before departure from the car, and took them into the yard.
Sun, who was preparing the meal, saw the visitors and hurriedly invited them into the house. The table was piled high with dried fruits.
Sun poured water for the two of them while inviting Li Yan to eat: "You guys sit down first and eat some dried fruits. The food will be ready soon!"
The father and daughter were warmly received at Lin's parents' home.
On the other hand, because the eldest daughter-in-law was going back to her parents' home today, Wu was generous for once. She chose a piece of cloth from the cloth given by her granddaughter last time and asked Liu to take it back today.
Liu was flattered. Her mother-in-law no longer held on to the small amount of money. Liu felt that she was living a very comfortable life.
Liu took the ingredients given by her mother-in-law, carried the prepared snacks, and rushed to her parents' home with her three children and husband.
Along the way, Liu was in a very good mood. The gift she brought back this time must be better than the one Tiezhu's wife brought back, and her parents would definitely be respected in the village!
Lin happily took her husband and children to her parents' home. Before they got home, they saw that the front door was surrounded by a crowd of people.
Liu was panicking. She trotted to the front door, only to hear her mother wailing, "I'm going to die! I'm going to die! This rebellious son owes you money. Just ask him for it. You're going to tear this house apart. If I don't have any money, I don't have any money!"
When Liu Dalang heard his mother say this, he knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "Mom, please save me this time!"
Seeing that the Liu family was refusing to pay, several thugs waved their hands. Several of their men understood and immediately stepped forward to beat and kick Liu Dalang again.
Liu Dalang, whose face was bruised and swollen from the beating, covered his head and wailed at Old Man Liu: "Dad, Dad, please save your son. I will never dare to gamble again!"
Liu, who had rushed back, saw this scene and rushed into the house, shouting, "What are you doing? Stop it!"
The gang leader looked at Liu who rushed in and said mockingly, "This bastard owes us five taels of silver for gambling and has been hiding from us the whole time. If he doesn't pay me back today, I'll chop his hands off!"
When Liu Dalang saw his sister coming back, he immediately cried out to Liu for help: "Sister, please save me! I will work like a slave for you from now on!"
Seeing her daughter and son-in-law return to such a terrible situation, Wang angrily said to the gangster, "I don't have any money. This rebellious son caused trouble. You can kill him or cut him up as you please!"
Seeing that the old woman was unmoved, the gangster had no intention of putting any effort into Liu Dalang. He turned his gaze to Da Niu who had been hiding behind Wang: "It is only natural that a son should pay for his father's debts. Since you have no money, we will take this kid away!" After that, he sent people to capture Da Niu.
Da Niu was already scared to death by what happened at home today. Now when he saw those ferocious-looking thugs trying to catch him, he burst into tears out of fear.
Mr. Liu protected his grandson behind him and shouted, "Let's see who dares!"
Watching the chaotic scene in the yard, Li Dalang stepped forward and asked, "How much money do you owe them?"
