A farmer's daughter travels through time, farming and dividing the family to fight for the best

Chapter 237 The gangsters come to the door

Just now on the ox cart, she felt like she was about to freeze to death. What she didn't expect was that her two beloved children since childhood didn't care about her life or death.

At the most critical moment, it was Li Dahai, the son she had always disliked, who took out his warm clothes and carefully covered her with them.

As if she was afraid that she was cold, she carefully tucked the edge of her cloak again and again. At that moment, Mrs. Li's mood could be said to be extremely complicated.

There is also a hint of regret in the complexity, but what can regret do?

She heard everything that happened in the court clearly. In the past, she would have started cursing. But now, she was indifferent to the prefect's judgment and even seemed a little happy. You deserve it.

As proud as the Li family's father and his two sons were when they went out, they are now as depressed as they are now. They originally wanted to bring Old Lady Li to send Li Dahai here, but they didn't expect things to end up like this.

When they left, there was only Old Lady Li on the ox cart. When they came back, there was an extra Li Laosi. One of them was lying down, and the other was lying down.

Several people returned home dejectedly. Boss Li carried Old Lady Li to the bed and left without caring whether the quilt was covering her or not.

Then she took Li Laosi to his room. Seeing Li Laosi's appearance, Jiang cried and wailed, "Who the hell beat you like this?"

As soon as I walked out of Li Laosi's room, I heard the sound of the door slamming.

Boss Li was already in a bad mood, and when he heard the urgent knock on the door, he felt even worse. He shouted to the outside of the door, "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?"

After he finished cursing, the knocking on the door became even stronger than before, as if they were going to knock a hole in the door.

Restraining his anger, Boss Li opened the door without waiting for him to speak.

A dozen men rushed in all of a sudden, all of them looked sloppy and were obviously gangsters, and pushed Boss Li aside.

"What are you going to do?" Boss Li said in a trembling voice, swallowed nervously, and forced himself to suppress the bad premonition in his heart.

"Are you Li Dajiang?" One of the gangsters stood up. He was tall and strong, with a piece of hay in his mouth. One corner of his lips was raised and there was a mocking smile on his face. You could tell at a glance that he was not a good person.

"I, I am." This was in his own home, Li Dajiang felt that he could not appear too cowardly, he stood up straight and forced himself to look him in the eye.

"I'm glad you are. You have lived in this house for several days. This month's rent has not been paid yet. Please pay it first." The leader of the gangsters nodded indifferently and stated the purpose of this trip.

"What rent? This..." Hearing about the rent, Li Dajiang's mind was full of questions. Wasn't this the house given to them by the mustache man? Why did they have to pay rent? Why didn't he tell them before?

The gang leader saw that Li Dajiang's expression did not seem fake, so he patiently said it again.

"More than ten days ago, someone came to rent a house from me. He said he didn't have enough money and asked me to come back in a few days to get it. I gave him the key at that time. I was delayed for three days because of something, so you just need to pay the rent."

"I didn't rent the house. You should go ask the person who rented it for it." At this point, Li Dajiang realized that the man with the mustache had not paid rent for the house.

"We agreed to give the house to a man named Li Dajiang when we rented it. You are already three days late. I don't care what happened between you two. The house is yours to live in. Just give me the money. If you have any other questions, go and talk to him."

The leader of the gangsters was obviously a little impatient. How dare anyone not pay rent for his house? Haha, he really thought he was living too long.

"He rented the house for us to live in. I had no idea about it. If I had known, I would never have lived here." Li Dajiang was telling the truth. Housing and commodity prices in Beijing were very high. The house they were living in now was simply not something their family could afford.

"You don't have to waste time talking to me. Just tell me whether you are going to give the money or not?" The leader of the gangsters had obviously lost his patience. He took a few steps forward and approached Li Dajiang, looking down at him.

The exhaled breath sprayed on Li Dajiang's face, and the cold voice made Li shiver.

"I, I..." Li Dajiang said that he didn't want to give it at all, but there were more than a dozen people on the other side, staring at him hungrily. If he said no, he would be in trouble.

"How much is the monthly rent?" Li Dajiang had to settle for the second best. After all, they had enjoyed the place for a few days, so if it wasn't much, he could give it to him.

"Hmph, if you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink a penalty. Seeing how cowardly you are, I won't ask for more from you. Twenty taels of silver will be enough." The leader of the gangsters snorted coldly and glanced at him with a squint.

"What twenty taels?" Li Dajiang opened his mouth in surprise. He knew that the rent in the capital was expensive, but he couldn't ask for twenty taels. This was blatant robbery.

"When we rented it before, we agreed on twenty-two taels of silver, and I gave you a discount of two taels of silver. Don't you know what's good for you? Look at my house and its location." The gang leader glared at him and pointed a finger at Li Dajiang.

“I dare not, I dare not!” Boss Li took two steps back and waved his hands repeatedly.

The noise at the door startled Old Man Li. When he came over and saw so many people, he was really scared.

Seeing Old Man Li coming, Li Dajiang ran towards him quickly and whispered a few words in his ear. The more Old Man Li listened, the wider his eyes widened, until they were wide open.

Twenty taels of silver, isn't this asking for his life? No, the house is rented by the man with a mustache, so he has to ask him for the money.

I whispered a few words to Boss Li, but he just shook his head. So I had to think of another way.

Thinking of this, Old Man Li suddenly had an idea and cleared his throat: "My dear brother, we are all farmers and we don't have that much money at the moment. How about you give us two more days and we will give it to you when we have enough money."

As the leader of a gang, he has seen everything. Old man Li's tricks are only good enough to fool a few-year-old kid.

"I must get the silver today. How you get it is your business. If I can't get it, hmph, none of you will have an easy life." The leader of the gangsters made a harsh remark and went straight to the stone pavilion. He sat down with his legs crossed, as if he would not leave unless you gave it to me.

Old man Li is really overwhelmed. Too many things have happened recently, and none of them have gone well.

At this time, Li Dajiang wanted to find the man with a mustache, but he suddenly remembered that it was the man with a mustache who came to him every time, and they had never taken the initiative to look for him, and they didn't even know his real name.
