Wei Tu approached Li Tong to discuss the matter of redemption. After careful consideration, Wei Tu decided not to delay for too long. He was worried that things would change if things were too late. According to Caixia, the boss Li Yaozu wanted to use the autumn harvest of the tenant fields to threaten him and his wife and force him and Xinghua to submit. The wheat harvest in Qingshan County will be in these ten days. As time goes by, if Li Yaozu threatens... then there will be no friendship left between master and servant. If he tried to redeem himself at that time, Li Yaozu would definitely try his best to stop him, even frame him up, to get rid of him as the "scourge" of the Li family. And redeem yourself in advance. Although the money on my body is still a bit short. But now that the master and servant have not yet broken each other's skin, Li Yaozu will be wary of him when he sees that he is "strong", and there is a high probability that he will cancel his original plan and will not enmity with him. night.
Wei Tu told Xinghua his plan and asked for Xinghua's opinion. "You are my man, I will obey you." Xinghua replied. Xinghua knew that she had a weak eyelid, so she never argued with Wei Tu on the general direction. "Your words are enough." Wei Tu nodded and asked Xinghua to return to Li's house later when she went to the county town to buy groceries tomorrow. "If something changes, you should leave the county as soon as possible and hide outside the city..." he warned. "Brother Wei, are you going to..." Xinghua's heart was shaken when she heard this, and she suddenly thought of something bad. But as soon as her words left her throat, she stopped again. She hummed slightly, pulled her legs out of the quilt, and took advantage of the night to start tidying up the belongings at home. "When you leave, don't drag me down." After the lights went out, the couple hugged each other and fell asleep. In the middle of the night, Xinghua opened Wei Tu's eyes and whispered this sentence. Wei Tu's sleeping spirit was dazed for a while after he was woken up. In a daze, he heard Xinghua's words clearly, but he didn't know how to answer Xinghua. At that time, in panic, he could not guarantee whether he would bring another burden to his death. "I still want you to cook for me. I'm used to eating your own food. It's not like eating other people's food..." Wei Tu thought for a long time and said something that was not very sensible. However. The words fell. Xinghua fell asleep, and her breath was quick and a little hot. … The next day, morning.
Wei Tu got up very early as always. He went about his work, mixing ingredients for the horses and shredding the hay accumulated in the previous days one by one. He even filled the bucket with water, leaving no space. After finishing the work. Wei Tu watched Xinghua walk out of the front door of Li's house with a basket, and then he sat on the stone pillar and waited for a while, until the sun burned his back unbearably, then he got up and walked to the inner house. The foreign man is not allowed to enter the inner house without the master's instructions. Wei Tu remembered his "duty" and stood at the door of the inner house, asking the maids who came and went to come inside to report to Li Tong. soon. The maid took Li Tongshi's order and led Wei Tu into the living room. "Brother Wei, what's the important thing you want to see me for? But what's missing at home? Or are you and Xinghua at odds?" Li Tongshi frowned and glanced at Wei Tu standing in the center of the hall. Li Tongshi's voice was calm, without any hint of condescension, but anyone familiar with Li Tongshi knew that he was deliberately suppressing his anger and dissatisfaction. When a male servant enters the inner house, if he has something to say directly to the outer house, and communicates it through the maid, there is no need to go into the inner house to "discuss" it. Wei Tu entered the inner house today. In Li Tong's opinion, it was unruly. No rules no standards. As the mistress, Li Tongshi wanted to suppress any "signs" that might cause unrest in the Li family and crush them to death. Li Tongshi sipped her tea, the hotness of the tea made her lips and tongue hurt, but she still maintained the demeanor of a mistress and looked at Wei Tu coldly, waiting for Wei Tu's answer. However, Wei Tu's opening surprised Li Tongshi. Wei Tu bowed and said, "Grandma, I came to the inner house this time to redeem my bond. I plan to take part in the martial arts exam next year." After the words fell, the whole hall fell into silence, the atmosphere was frozen to the freezing point, and you could hear a needle drop. Li Tongshi was stunned. Including the serving maids standing behind Mrs. Li Tong, they were also shocked. In the house, it should be said that in a large family, the last thing that the servants should not mention is the body contract. This is a taboo. No one mentioned the contract of selling oneself, and the servants in the outer house and the inner house could perform their respective duties, as if they were born this way and not imposed upon them. "Brother Wei, you have been in the Li family for some years. The Li family should treat you well." Li Tong's expression remained unchanged, but the fingers hidden in his sleeves tightened the corners of his sleeves. The redemption of servants often occurs in wealthy families who are restless at home. She has been in charge of the internal affairs of Li's house for so many years, and she does not want to cause a stain, a stain that can be criticized by other women in the county. "Li Zhai has been kind to me for my survival." Wei Tu nodded and replied. The hall faces north and south. Under the shadow of the sun, Li Tongshi's expression softens slightly.
"But the wages are not enough?" Her tone was gentle. At this time, Li Tongshi remembered that Wei Tu's salary had not increased for a long time, probably because of salary issues, which led Wei Tu to remind her of the ransom. "No, Grandma." Wei Tu shook his head firmly, "Grandma, I just said that I plan to redeem myself and take the martial arts exam next year." Wei Tu wondered why Li Tongshi didn't hear the second half of his words when he spoke clearly just now. "Martial arts exam?" These four words appeared in Li Tongshi's mind again. After this time, Li Tongshi finally understood the meaning of these four words. Li Tongshi raised her eyes and carefully examined the slightly dark-skinned young man in front of her. After looking at him for about half a while, she said: "You raise your head." From the moment she entered the living room, she saw that Wei Tu's head had been lowered and never raised. In other words, since Li Zhai bought Wei Tu, a servant, she has never seen Wei Tu raise his head. She had always been very satisfied with Wei Tu's compliance with the rules, but today, she felt that she had made a mistake. The person who has always been the most well-behaved turned out to be the most restless at heart, and he actually wanted to redeem himself, take the martial arts exam, and leave the Li family. "Yes, Grandma." Wei Tu followed the instructions and raised his head to look at Madam Li's house in front of her. "Why do you want to take the martial arts exam? The martial arts exam is not easy..." After seeing Wei Tu's appearance, Li Tong felt temporarily relieved and asked warmly. Wei Tu's face was not the "long and quasi-dragon-like" look she had seen in books. On the contrary, Wei Tu's appearance is still a little unremarkable, and he is indistinguishable from a rural farmer. "Grandma, I don't know, but Wei Tu asked for a book of health-preserving skills from my second aunt two years ago. After two years of practice, his strength has increased a lot, and he has met the requirements for taking the martial arts exam..." Wei Tu thought for a moment, then told him all about his practice of health-preserving skills, and mentioned his second aunt Wei Xin by the way. Thank you woshileilei for the 100 starting coins
