Chapter 8: Li Fang's decision
When we arrived at the warehouse, there was a crackling sound of fiddling the abacus in the warehouse.
When Liu Feng entered the warehouse, he saw two people on the counter at the first glance. Deacon Liu Yan was also there. Next to Deacon Liu Yan, there was a middle-aged man with a national face, fiddling with the abacus and checking the accounts. The man with a national face was Mr. Zhang, the accountant in the family, and his expenses were all passed by him. Mr. Zhang was a son-in-law. Although he was not very good at calculating, he was a good player in business, and he made his family business bigger and bigger. Everyone in the Liu family respected him.
Moreover, when Liu Feng was unable to practice, he always regarded Mr. Zhang as his goal and an idol.
Liu Feng said respectfully: "Mr. Zhang, Deacon Liu Yan, I am here to collect the quota." As he said that, he took out the token from his body and handed it to the counter.
After taking the token, Deacon Liu Yan looked at Liu Feng in surprise and said softly: "Liu Feng's."
Mr. Zhang found Liu Feng on the record and fiddled with the abacus for a while and said: "Liu Feng won four consecutive rounds, 16th place, fixed quota of 500 taels, and victory quota of 400 taels. With the first level of Qiling, breaking the family without breaking the rules, 240% additional income, 9680 taels, total: 14180 taels, sign a name if you are right?"
Even though Liu Feng had already done it along the way, he stopped nodding and talking to him when he heard Mr. Zhang counting, he couldn't hide the joy on his face. He took the brush and signed his name at the place where Mr. Zhang's finger.
Mr. Zhang handed the silver notes and the token to Liu Feng solemnly: "You won four rounds of victory. Within three months, in the first month, even if you don't have to participate in the tribe comparison, the floating quota is 1,500 taels, the second month is 1,000 taels, the third month is only 500 taels, and the fourth month returns to the original."
Liu Feng nodded. He knew the benefits he brought to participate in the clan competition, which was also a good way to stimulate the children in the clan to practice hard. After all, if the quota remains unchanged and meet the expenses required for cultivation, he could only continue to work hard to achieve good results.
Walking out of the warehouse and with a well-connected path, the entire Liu family is like a small town.
The courtyards are passed by home, where most of the children live at the fifth level of the Spiritual Creation, and their parents are at least powerful people in the Spiritual Gathering Realm.
Every time he walked to this place, his heart hurt.
Three years ago, he was also one of the people living here, owning a courtyard belonging to his family and serving his servants.
My father disappeared for no reason. After his failed to enlighten the spirit, he was told that he would never be able to improve his cultivation. From that moment on, he became a shame to the entire family, and the courtyard was also requisitioned by the family.
Looking at the tribe members coming and going, Liu Feng's eyes were extremely firm: "I must take back my own courtyard! Sure!"
If it were two days ago, he would be helpless, but the spiritual charm was restored and there was a Thunder Dragon. He already felt that all this would come soon!
Walking quickly towards home, I sat in a large mansion in the northwest corner of the Liu family. Most of the people living there had low cultivation and poor children's qualifications. They had not yet cultivated to the third level of Qiling.
There is a saying in the Liu family: the north is poor and the south is noble and prominent.
It can be said that the Liu family arranged residences according to their strength. The northwest corner is called the low-cultural concentration area within the family. The northeast corner is the spiritual gathering powerhouse, the southwest corner is the place where the deacons live, the southeast corner is the place where the family worships, and only the center is the place where the clan leader and elders live.
I soon arrived not far from the mansion, which was relatively dilapidated but large enough.
But today's mansion seems to be different from the past. In the past, everyone was working and working their own things. They would not get together unless something happened.
Suddenly, Liu Feng's eyes condensed and his heart skipped a beat. That place was in front of his home. Did something happen to his mother? Thinking of this, Liu Feng ran to the mansion in vain.
...
...
Inside the mansion.
Among the crowd, a chubby round and fat woman in a flowery shirt, with fat fingers pointed at her, a woman covered in patches and covered in white clothes, and a pale face, as if a gust of wind could blow to about thirty years of age. "Li Fang, you owe our family three thousand taels of silver. When do you plan to pay it back?"
The woman in white was not someone else, but Liu Feng's mother Li Fang. Li Fang's face changed suddenly, and she looked sad, and said helplessly: "Fat Sister Lan, I will definitely pay back the money I owe you. Can you be relieved for a few days?"
I never thought that Fat Lan's wife heard this and said unyieldingly: "You said this a few months ago, but now? I haven't seen a penny from you until now. I'm not unreasonable for your useless son to practice again. Fat Lan's wife is not unreasonable. I can understand this matter. I promised to pay back the money within three months, but you have been delaying it again and again, and I have been delaying it for several months."
"My son is not a waste, he is the best in my eyes."
Li Fang said to her mouth, but she kept coughing. In recent years, in order to enable Liu Feng to regain Lingyun, she has been borrowing debts and even selling jewelry. She has never told Liu Feng about these debts and has paid them back alone. She borrowed a sum of money from Fat Lan's wife a few months ago.
She was originally able to repay, but at this critical moment, the disaster never came alone. She fell ill and had no time to work and earn money to pay off her debts. Even though Liu Feng was sensible than other children, he was weaker in his body.
The people around her pointed and talked, which made her feel dizzy and took two steps back weakly, and then she barely stood up by holding the door.
Seeing this, Fat Lan's wife yelled, put her hands on her hips, and said sarcastically: "Look at me, she is pretending to be pitiful again, and she is not sick." Then she changed the subject: "You are a trick to deceive others. Fat Lan's wife, I will not be fooled again the second time!"
The eyes of Li Fang were filled with strangeness, as if they believed Fat Lan's words, some were skeptical.
Li Fang grabbed the door with difficulty, coughed a few times, and hurriedly took out Bai Jie's handkerchief from her body and wiped her mouth. The Bai Jie's handkerchief was faintly stained with blood.
The fat lady was stunned at first, looking at the brown jade ring on Li Fang's finger, unable to hide the greed in her eyes, and sighed and pretended to be helpless, "Li Fang, what are you doing? Fat lady said you are pitiful, you are really pitiful. Look at you like this, okay, Fat lady really can't bear to see you like this, who made Fat lady so kind? You do this, use the jade ring in your hand to repay your debts, so what do you think of us?"
Fat Lan's wife looked at Li Fang, but she had an idea in her heart: this ring can be worth at least 5,000 taels. If the goods are sold correctly and meet the Ai family, this jade ring can be worth at least 1,000 taels.
Not to mention a few months ago, someone asked her to spend more than 10,000 taels to buy this jade ring.
When she lent money to Li Fang, she had to do everything she could to get the jade ring for this reason.
Of course, this is also because she is skillful and has never dared to force her too much. If Li Fang really sells it to someone else, she will be in tears.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone is here today, she is in trouble and taking advantage of the neighbors' ignorance of goods, she will definitely help her persuade Li Fang that she can be a good person and take the opportunity to take the opportunity to get the jade ring she wants. Why not?
Not to mention, the others in the mansion really took her plan and didn't think this little finger ring could be worth a lot of money. Because they didn't know the goods, they began to persuade Li Fang to get up.
"Fat Sister Lan would be so kind?" But these people hadn't said this yet.
Just listen to others:
"Li Fang, look at how good the fat lady Lan is. As long as you give her this valuable ring, you will pay off your debt. What a great person, why are you hesitating?"
"Yes, your broken ring is only three or five hundred taels of silver at the stall. Now you can pay back 3,000 taels of debt. You can't be greedy!"
"Why are you hesitating for kindness?"
Li Fang looked at these familiar people for the past three years and suddenly became unfamiliar at this moment. She touched the ring on her hand, a little surprised and missed.
Then she looked embarrassed. This ring was a token of love given to her by Liu Feng's father. Even if she sold all the jewelry, she was not willing to sell this jade ring. It was not that she didn't know the value, but because the ring was of great significance to her.
The fat lady Lan listened to everyone's words and looked at Li Fang hesitating and made a fuss in her heart: "Li Fang, otherwise, I think you and Liu Feng are not going to live well. I'm giving you five hundred taels of silver. Of course, these five hundred taels are not bought for your ring. These five hundred taels are pitiful to me. I kindly help you. You have to think about it and make a decision before I change my mind. There will be no such opportunity after today!"
"Who was saying that Fat Lan's wife was so stingy? Look at how Fat Lan's wife is a human being?"
"We blamed her wrongly. Fat Lan's wife must have had her own difficulties at the beginning, otherwise why did Liu Feng and his family be so good in this matter?"
"Yes, Li Fang, why are you hesitating? Fat Lan's wife is very righteous. Not only does she not want to pay off her debts, she is also willing to help you. What a great person?"
"Fat Lady Lan is so kind-hearted and a good person."
"Fat Lan's wife is affectionate and loyal, and she will choose one in a million. After Li Fang passes this village, there will be no such store. You can decide earlier!"
When everyone heard Fat Lan Sao's words, they looked at Fat Lan Sao's body as round as a bucket and as fat as a giant ball. They suddenly felt that this ancient warmth was the true face of Fat Lan Sao. Everyone had blamed her wrongly before, and began to persuade Li Fang not to hesitate, and if he hesitated, there would be no chance.
How could you not know that these tribe members who made fun of each other are kind, but Li Fang's face was embarrassed, but she smiled bitterly in her heart. How do you know the meaning of this ring to me? Do you think that a person like Fat Lan's wife who never takes advantage of her will change her personality? But should she give it to her now?
"Mother."
Just as Li Fang was thinking about this, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. This voice made her heart heat up and she immediately decided that everything was worth it for him!
"Fat Lan, you can give this jade ring to you, but..."
