   Chapter 4 Settlement

   Zhang Defa hurry up and it was still too late. The ox cart entered Xishan Village. When he saw that everyone in the village looked at him strangely, and some people pointed at him, Zhang Defa knew that Li Yu and his brother had arrived.

   Zhang Defa held back his anger and drove the ox cart towards Li's house at the foot of the village's tail mountain. When he got to the door of Li's house, he heard the chatter inside and sighed that he was one step late.

   Zhang De sent off the ox cart, tied the ox to a small tree by the road, got up and closed his eyes, took a deep breath and walked towards the collapsed wall with a smile on his face.

  Li Qing looked up and saw Zhang Defa, clenched his fists, "Why are you coming to my house? You are not welcome in my house."

   Li Yu and Chen Yaohui also looked at him coldly.

   Zhang De made a dry smile and greeted with a smile, "Brother Yaohui is here too!"

  Chen Yaohui replied indifferently: "I'll take a look at these two hard-working children, and see how her father who sacrificed his life to save them did harm to them."

Zhang Defa did not expect that Chen Yaohui would tear his face with him without mercy, but Chen Yaohui made him speechless again, so he had to pick up the persimmon and pinch it softly, turning his head to look at Li Yu, "Xiaoyu, you let Guixiang Can you count the words you bring to me?"

  Li Yu felt a little strange when he saw that Zhang Defa didn't mention that he hit Zhang Guixiang. When he looked up, he saw Zhang Defa's gritted teeth and gloomy eyes, and thought to himself: It seems that he wants to keep the account, okay! Just let the horse go!

  Li Yu looked at Zhang Defa and said coldly, "I count, but should you return the things you took from my house?"

   Zhang Defa looked at Li Yu who was standing with his head held high and indifferent, and suddenly realized that the one standing in front of him did not seem to be the Li Yu he knew, and thought to himself: Is this really the Li Yu who is obsessed with Guisheng?

   Zhang De laughed and looked at Li Yu, and sneered: "Xiaoyu, you remembered it wrong! How can you have anything in your house? Xiaoyu, if you have any other requests, please put forward them, and uncle will try to satisfy you."

  Li Yu looked at Zhang Defa and sneered: "What do you want? I want you to pay my father's life, can you do it?"

   "You," Zhang Defa looked at Li Yu, so angry that he couldn't even laugh.

  Li Yu couldn't laugh anymore, and sneered: "You took the fur that my father saved, the rice that was kept in my barn, and the farm tools and furniture in my house. You want to repay your debts!"

  Li Yu saw Zhang Defa's eyes twitching, knowing that he would not admit it easily, so he looked at him coldly, intending to see how he wanted to quibble.

Zhang Defa glanced at the villagers who came to watch the lively after hearing the news, and hesitated whether to answer, but Chen Yaohui took the conversation, "Zhang Defa, if you can't remember, I can remind you that there are four fox furs, and there are five Zhang Lupi, and..., Li Mei and we have already counted, do you think you can still rely on it?"

   Zhang De was stunned after hearing this, and looked at Chen Yaohui with an angry face, "What does Chen Yaohui have to do with you? How can you take advantage of helping her like this?"

  Chen Yaohui sneered: "You think everyone is like you, mercenary and ungrateful."

   Zhang De became annoyed, turned his head and looked at Li Yu with a livid face: "Li Yu, your sister and brother have lived and eaten in my house for so many years, you want to eat and live for nothing!"

Li Yu took a few steps to Zhang Defa and spat, "Bah! You're not afraid of the wind, but what's your family's expenses? After my brother and sister left my father, we lived in your house as cattle. As a horse, I have never made a new garment, and I have never eaten a full meal.

Since we went to the county town with your family, our life is not as good as the next people. Every day there is unfinished twine, Ah Qing has to go up the mountain to chop wood every day at dawn. Your family is still full of leftovers. Zhang Guixiang and Zhang Guixiang always vent their anger on the siblings when they are unsatisfactory, starve and get beaten, which is even more commonplace. "

Li Yu picked up his sleeves to reveal the old and new scars left after being pinched and beaten, and looked at the villagers onlookers: "My grandpa, mother-in-law, uncle, and auntie, look, these are all pinched and beaten by Chen Zhaodi, and others. The same goes for Ah Qing."

  Li Yu pulled over Li Qing and picked up the clothes on his body, revealing criss-crossing whiplash wounds on his back, old and new wounds overlapping.

   Everyone gasped and whispered, "This is too much, Li Shanbai died, leaving two children to suffer in the world!"

"That's why it is said that begging has to follow the flesh and blood. I also blame Li Shan for being so stupid. He sacrificed his life for others and left two orphans without being blamed. He was stupid and didn't entrust the children to his own sister, but to an outsider. ."

An old man who knew the inside story sighed, "Of course Li Mei is good, but she can't bear to have a bad mother-in-law, and the two children are not good with her. Li Shan is also afraid that the children will drag down his sister, thinking that he and Zhang Defa are both in-laws and family members. Growing up together from a young age, a friend who shared weal and woe when escaping, he never thought it would be like this!"

   "Yes! People are unpredictable!"

  The old man looked at Li Yu and thought: Now that the Zhang family's son has been admitted to fame at a very young age, how can everyone take care of this nostalgia again, in case his son is successful,...

  Chen Yaohui looked at Zhang De and shouted angrily: "Zhang Defa, you scorpion-hearted villain, how would you explain the injury on the child?"

"Children are disobedient, they will inevitably get angry when they are anxious, and sometimes they will inevitably lose their hands when they are in a hurry. What kind of child doesn't get beaten several times!" Zhang Defa sneered and turned around, pretending to bow to sister Li Yu and salute. , "Xiaoyu, uncle is sorry for your brothers and sisters, uncle will make up for you."

  Li Yu raised his head and said, "Compensation! We don't care. I just want you to break off the marriage happily and return my family's things to us."

   Zhang Defa glanced at the people who were watching the excitement, walked up to Li Yu, and said in a low voice, "Xiaoyu, in the face of your brother Guisheng, our two families will talk privately, will it work?"

  Li Yu looked at Zhang Defa and thought: I want to use Zhang Guisheng to seduce Li Yu, but unfortunately Li Yu, who cares about your son, is no longer there.

   Li Yu looked at Zhang Defa sarcastically, "There's nothing to talk about, I'll go to the yamen to complain if you don't want to pay it back. When I saw that, what kind of fame did your son take."

  Li Qing clenched his fists, looked at Zhang Defa and shouted: "Zhang Defa hurry up and pay back my money. My sister and I haven't eaten since yesterday, and we have to buy rice to cook."

   "Xiaoyu, Ah Qing, you two haven't eaten anything since last night? Why haven't you eaten?" Chen Li asked, pulling Xiaoyu.

Li Yu looked at Zhang Defa and said loudly, "Yesterday afternoon, Chen Zhaodi asked me to return the marriage certificate and Geng Tie to her. If I didn't agree, she beat and scolded me and refused to give us food. Zhang Guixiang also said, I won't take out the Geng Tie and the marriage certificate again. I'm going to be sold to the kiln, and I won't marry such a person who carries a large sedan chair to carry me."

   "Oh yo." The villagers who were watching the excitement gasped.

   "Ah! Brother Li saved an enemy! Zhang Defa, your conscience was eaten by a dog!" Chen Li shouted.

   "Brother Zhang, your family is not short of that little money now, just give it back to Xiaoyu sister and brother! Let it go!" Someone said from the onlookers.

   "Yes! Yes! Those things were left to the two children by Li Shan after all!"

Zhang Defa was very angry when he heard these comments and advice: they are all people who are not afraid of the height of the stage, you are just jealous. My family is living a good life now, and when my son has a big future,... Zhang Defa looked at the person who spoke justice sternly, and secretly remembered it in his heart.

   The villagers who spoke justice were all startled by Zhang Defa's eyes.

Li Yu looked at Zhang Defa's sullen eyes, and said lightly, "You'd better think about it before you pay it back. If you don't pay it back, I will go to the yamen to file a complaint. I have heard that people who occupy other people's property and do not pay back their virtues are the court. But never hired."

   Zhang De heard that and looked at Li Yu, and shouted sharply, "You dare!"

   Li Yu looked at him coldly, "Why don't we try."

   "Brother, you really came back, what happened?" Zhang Defa's younger brother Zhang Decai squeezed to Zhang Defa's side.

Zhang Defa pulled him aside and told him the matter, Zhang Decai rolled his eyes and put his eyes on his ear, "Brother, you don't have to leave your relatives, just carry a sedan back home, as long as people enter our Zhang Decai The door, such a little hoof without a parent, it is not up to us to play with it."

   Zhang De thinks after hearing this, yes! Entering Zhang's house to see how arrogant you are, he happily patted Zhang Du Cai and said, "Yes, just do it like this."

   Li Yu saw that the Zhang brothers were murmuring for a while, and Zhang Defa looked relaxed and happy, knowing that Zhang Decai had given him an idea and calculated himself.

Zhang Defa walked up to Li Yu with a relaxed face, and smiled smugly, "Ha! Ha! Xiaoyu! You are also filial, and we don't want to break off the marriage. Your marriage with Guisheng is your father's last wish. This year, Guisheng has been awarded as a scholar again, and I think I am overjoyed to have arranged the marriage of the two of you, what do you think?"

   "Yeah! Xiaoyu, you and Guisheng grew up together since childhood. Now that Guisheng has a future, you can be relieved that you are your parents." Zhang Decai persuaded hypocritically.

Li Yu looked at Zhang Defa coldly and said, "Getting married is my father's last wish, so he told you to treat his two children kindly and help him raise Li Qing as an adult. Why didn't you obey his last wish, but took it instead. He doesn't return the things he left to his children, eats and uses his own, and abuses his children, Zhang Defa, you brazen person, be careful that my father comes to you in the middle of the night."

   Zhang De said angrily: "You, don't know how to lift...

Chen Yaohui stepped forward to stop him and interrupted him, "Xiaoyu said it well, Zhang Defa, are you really not afraid that Brother Li will come to you in the middle of the night? You Zhang Defa swore to be good in front of me and some old people in the village. Raising their siblings, people are watching."

   Zhang Defa's brothers were blue-faced, they looked at each other and said nothing.

At this time, someone was saying that Li Mei and her man were back. Li Yu looked up and saw a beautiful woman in her forties, wearing an old dress that had been washed white, and an honest man with a sling on his back. The man came out from behind the crowd on both sides.
