Step by step lotus in another world

Chapter 280
The reception hall of the Li family is very spacious, and although the decoration is not luxurious, it is also very exquisite. Although the Li family is now in decline, the facilities in the family still maintain the same as a few years ago. At least on the outside, the Li family is unwilling Come down to the truth.

At this time, there were quite a few people sitting in the hall, including men, women and children, all of them were silent, while the man with the Chinese character face directly above him was expressionless, and the old man with hooked nose was sitting opposite him, smiling all over his face. A look of disdain flashed in a pair of small eyes, and he looked at the man and said suddenly: "Elder Seven, do you see what the old man just said?"

The man looked at the old man expressionlessly, and said in an extremely bad tone, "The Nalan family has always been on good terms with our Li family, but now they want to rub salt on our wounds?!"

"What is the seventh elder talking about!" The old man's face remained unchanged, he still looked at Li Wu with a smile and said: "It's only natural to sell goods for money, and our Nalan family is just here to get the money we deserve. , why was it that the Seventh Elder said that it was like doing something that is unreasonable."

"laugh!"

Li Wu sneered and looked at the old man, "Nalan Jie, the way we trade has always been to give the goods in advance and pay after a month, and now it's only five days, and you are rushing to ask for money, it's you Nalan The family lacks this spiritual stone to live on, or did you, Nalan Jie, take advantage of others and join forces to persecute my Li family?!"

"Seventh Elder, please don't say that. I, Nalan Jie, am not that kind of person. It's just that Nalan's family has encountered some troubles recently and urgently needs money. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you, would I?"

Nalan Jie didn't take Li Wu's anger seriously at all, and he didn't confront him directly. He still said with a smile. His tone and attitude made it clear that he had a legitimate reason to come to take money today, forcing Li Wu Even if you want to scold people and want to do something, you can't find a reason.

If Li Wu had money at hand, even if he went bankrupt, he would throw it in Nalan Jie's face without hesitation and let him go. Unfortunately, he didn't have it. Now the Li family's warehouse is empty, let alone the goods owed to Nalan's family. Money, even if you want to spend a little bit of money, you can't do it.

In the past three months, the Li family's business has been losing money, relying on the main family's subsidies to keep the few remaining shops from closing down, and the products produced by the Li family's field can't be sold. It can be said that the mountain is at the end of the river. Originally, they thought that after the goods were sold this time, they could make up for some, so they went to Nalan's house to get some valuable goods that they didn't dare to take before, because only the more expensive things are, the more profitable they are. Unexpectedly, it caused disaster, and all the goods were robbed.

Li Wu knew where the goods had gone, but he had troubles to say, not to mention that there was no evidence, even if there was evidence, he would have nothing to do with those people.

And the Nalan's family had no troubles early or late, but when the Li family was in trouble, they rushed to force them to ask for money, obviously they joined with those people to persecute their Li family.

However, even if they knew that they did it on purpose, there was nothing the Li family could do. It was a fact that they took the goods from others, and it was also a fact that they owed money to them!
Taking a deep breath, Li Wuqiang held back his anger and looked at Nalan Jie, begging for justice, and said: "Nalan's family has a big business, even if they are in trouble, it is impossible to lack such a few spirit stones, can you wait a few days for us to... ..."

"Seven elders!"

Nalan Jie interrupted without letting Li Wu finish speaking, and the smile on his face disappeared, obviously impatient, "The few spirit stones you mentioned are not a small amount, even if our Nalan family A big family and a big business can’t afford to lose money, how about this, if your Li family really has no money to pay back, for the sake of our cooperation for nearly ten years, use your Xilin market to pay for it.”

"You!!" Li Wu's eyes widened, looking at Nalan Jie who opened his mouth like a lion, he almost choked back his anger.

After a long while, Li Wu flicked his sleeves and stood up. Just as he was about to speak, there was a childish scolding sound from the door: "Nalan Jie, you are not afraid to flash your tongue!! Those junks want to be exchanged for our market!" , what are you!!"

Li Wu was taken aback, and turned to look at the door, only to see a seven or eight-year-old boy standing at the door, with a handsome face, red lips and white teeth, and a small face full of anger, and beside the boy stood a man in yellow gauze The young woman, with willow leaf eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, has a very enchanting appearance and looks bright.

"God! Why are you here!"

Seeing Li Wu's inquiry, the little boy called "Daddy" respectfully, and then said, "Aunt Ran and I just came over from mother's place, and we heard from the tribe that some shameless people came here to take advantage of the fire, so we came over here." Look, I just heard some shameless people say some shameless things!"

Nalan Jie was already livid with anger at Li Tian's words before, now that he heard him say shameless words again and again, he couldn't hold back his old face immediately, and smiled angrily: "Okay! Good! Good! Li Wu You have given birth to a good son! No matter what you say, the money must be paid! If there is no money, my Nalan family will send someone to take over Xilin's Fangshi in three days!"

After finishing speaking, Nalan Jie waved his sleeves and left the hall without looking back. When he came to the door, he gave little Li Tian a vicious look. Li Tian also stared back without any fear, and incidentally made a Grimace spat, and Nalan Jie staggered and turned around in anger, wanting to strike.

However, the spiritual power in Nalan Jie's body had just started to circulate, and the woman in yellow on the opposite side gave a cold snort, which instantly dissipated his spiritual power, and even caused his blood to surge and almost suffered internal injuries.

Glancing at the charming woman in horror, Nalan Jie instantly remembered the savior of the Li family that the Ye family had said, he was a fifth-level powerhouse of the Holy Spirit Master, and he quickly lowered his head and did not dare to speak harshly. Let it go, and left the Li family in a desperate state.

"Shameless old man! Pooh!"

After Li Tian saw Nalan Jie left, he made a face outside, and then he dragged Ran Mengxue into the hall together, and stood in front of Li Wu obediently and called out, "Daddy~"

"You!"

Li Wu glared at his son angrily, but didn't say much, but Li Muxi next to him said with a worried face: "Tian'er has annoyed Nalan Jie so much, I'm afraid it really won't last this time." gone."

Li Wu looked at the expressions on the faces of the surrounding clansmen, shook his head and said, "Haven't you noticed? Even if there is no sky, he will not let our Li family go! This time, the Nalan family is obviously here to take advantage of the fire!"

As soon as Li Wu's words fell, everyone in the Li family looked sad.

None of them are three-year-olds, so why don't they know what the Nalan family's plan is? What they said just now was just casually, but no one is really stupid enough to blame Li Tian. Instead, they think he did it. Yes, after all, he just vented his anger on their behalf, but what about the money?Is it true that the Nalan family has taken over Xilinfang City, the most prosperous of the only three remaining Fangcities of the Li family?

Xiao Litian looked at the frowns of the adults around him, and looked at Ran Mengxue with pouted lips, "Aunt Ran, can you help my father and the others?"

"It's not that I don't help them, but that I really can't help them." Ran Mengxue shook her head and said, if this society is still in the Black Witch Clan, she can naturally help the Li family with the help of the family, but now there are only three In one day, the far water cannot dissolve the near fire.

Xiao Litian saw that Ran Mengxue, who had always been omnipotent, also said that he was powerless, so he couldn't help lowering his head, his face full of frustration.

Ran Mengxue rubbed Li Tian's head, her face was helpless, although she was ordered by Tian Xin to protect Yun Niang and Li Wu's family, but later in the days of the Li family, she really fell in love with this She loves Li Wu's son Li Tian as much as her own.

Not only did she teach him how to practice and how to behave, but she also told her many anecdotes one by one. If she was not really powerless, she would not want to let this cute little guy down.

Li Wu was right next to the two of them, so he naturally heard their conversation clearly, feeling a little depressed.

Since the "accidental" death of the head of the Li family, Li Yue, the Li family has been supported by him so that it will not fall apart. But before Li Yue died, the Li family had already shaken its foundation. The Li family, now this catastrophe, how can he lead the people through it? !

After waving his hands to let all the clansmen disperse, Li Wucai, pretending to be strong, fell down on the chair, staring blankly at the void. It was not until two hours later that Li Wucai walked out from Li's house, ready to go outside to think of a solution.

……

On Yong'an City Street, Tianxin followed the flow of people and walked towards the Li family in his memory. The closer he got, the more excited he became. Even Jin Mo'er, who had been teasing her before, fell silent and followed her silently. walking forward.

Suddenly, Tianxin paused, looking at the middle-aged man who quickly exited a chamber of commerce with a wry smile on his face, and the bearded man chasing after him.

"Wu Qi, wait!!"

The bearded man quickly ran out of the chamber of commerce, dragged the middle-aged man in front of him, and cursed: "Why are you running away!! Although the He family is not doing well, you can still get this little spirit stone!! Why are you Go to those people to borrow money and don’t ask me?! If I didn’t happen to meet you today, how long would you want to hide it!!”

Li Wu looked at He Meng with a wry smile and shook his head, "Second brother He, the current situation of the He family is not much better than that of my Li family, how can I use your life-saving money to relieve the urgent needs of the Li family?"

"you!"

"Second brother, listen to me!"

Li Wu stopped what He Meng wanted to say, and said frankly: "If I hadn't been desperate, I would not have borrowed money from these people, and you have seen it just now, what kind of goods are they? The Li family, why did you bring the He family in?!"

"But, do you want me to watch you being humiliated and the Li family ruined?!"

Li Wu shook his head and didn't speak. He was about to push He Meng away when he heard very cold words from behind.

"Humiliated? The Li family is ruined? Uncle~ can you tell me what's going on?"
