Chapter 251 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (2)
Uncle Li's home is at the east end of the village.
Unlike Li Dalang's two simple thatched houses, Uncle Li's house is a three-yard-style mud house.
When Xu Yin led one and carried another to his house, Aunt Li was drying sweet potatoes.
Since her family used the three-seven-cent acres of Li Dalang's land to cultivate, even though the annual income is not as good as she said, it is still much richer than other families.
Others didn't dare to eat it with open stomachs, but her family actually had leftovers to dry in the sun.
Xu Yin sighed and stepped across the threshold.
Aunt Li heard the noise, turned around and saw that it was her, and said with a smile: "Oh, what kind of wind has brought the young man's wife here?"
"It's not Feng, it's you, auntie. You owe me the rent and you haven't paid it back, so I have to be shameless and ask for it." Xu Yin didn't talk nonsense to her.
The stomachs of the two little ones were growling all the time. They asked for food and went back to make food for them.
"Who owes you rent?" Aunt Li jumped up when she heard this.
Xu Yin picked her ears: "Didn't you say this yourself at the beginning? Your family took my land for planting, and gave me half a stone of millet per acre of land every year. It has been a full year and three months since last spring. You
I have finished harvesting sweet potatoes and have harvested two crops of grain. Isn’t it hard to afford the rent? Oh, you think the journey is too far and it’s inconvenient to send it there? It’s okay. Just leave it to me. I’m strong.
, one person can pick it back, no need for your help."
Aunt Li was so angry that her chest was heaving up and down. She pointed at her and started to curse: "Damn you..."
Xu Yin interrupted her: "Auntie, for the sake of relatives, I will give you a discount. You can give me half a stone of millet and half a stone of sweet potatoes! You just need new grain. I don't want the old grain before I rented my land."
"
"you……"
"Okay!" Uncle Li came back from outside. He probably listened for a while through the wall. He didn't ask anything and asked his mother-in-law to load the food.
Aunt Li refused: "Why should I give it to you! I am busy taking care of these three acres and seventy percent of the land, but they have not contributed anything and they have to get two stones for nothing! Why!"
"This land belongs to my family!" Xu Yin said with a smile, "If you find it hard, you can return it to us. I am very strong and only have three acres of land, so I can totally farm it."
"Bah!" Aunt Li spat at her, "What a beautiful idea you have!"
Xu Yin also took a sip and said, "Bounce back."
"..."
There was nothing the couple could do with such a niece-in-law.
If someone comes crying, they have plenty of ways to deal with it.
If someone is tough, they will have a way to deal with it.
The only thing I didn't expect was that my newly married niece-in-law was like this: she didn't seem to be afraid of anything.
If you scold her, she'll say it's a rebound.
What does rebound mean? Bounce back on yourself?
When she complained about her poor financial performance, she said that every household was like this. Other families would pay at least one stone for renting land. She only needed half a stone to give enough face to her relatives.
Forget it!
I can't afford to offend such a niece-in-law.
The proud Uncle Li sighed and waved his hand: "Give it to her!"
But Aunt Li was not willing to give away the food in vain, so what the hell is her nephew-in-law? Her nephew Li Dalang stood in front of her, and she refused to give it to her even if she didn't want to.
"You and Dalang got married, thanks to me and your uncle Zhang Luo. What does it mean now? Burning bridges across rivers? Let's all judge, is there such a heartless niece-in-law?"
Aunt Li slapped her thighs and started crying.
The neighbors on the left and right came out of the house and pointed at Xu Yin through the fence.
Xu Yin chuckled softly: "Auntie, I have a characteristic, that is, I will never make a fool of myself. It doesn't hurt to tell everyone my actual situation. My sister-in-law can't tolerate me, and she will leave as soon as my parents leave.
You want to marry me without a betrothal gift, as long as someone wants it. As for your family, you don't want to raise the second son and the third sister, so you agreed immediately when you heard that no betrothal gift was required. It took you a lot of thought to make a marriage happen in three days?
Excuse me, where is the fee? It’s been a long time, what are you asking for?”
"Pfft..."
Someone among the melon-eating crowd laughed out loud.
Uncle Li's and Uncle Li's faces turned red.
Xu Yin continued: "I heard from Erlang that before Dalang left, he left you a sum of money to take care of Erlang and Sanmei. This is how you take care of him? Dalang walks in front, and you take the land and plant it yourself.
, I won’t say anything if you really want to pay rent, but after planting for more than a year, I can’t see a single grain of millet or sweet potato. Look at how skinny these two children are, and all the meat they lost will be made up for you.
You went, right?"
"Pfft hahaha..."
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Uncle Li and his wife, especially Aunt Li, are indeed plump.
After laughing, I felt that Mr. Li and his wife were indeed a bit too much. They accepted money from the elder man, but failed to fulfill their responsibility of taking care of their nephews and nieces. How could they be uncles like this!
"I said, Daniel, this is what's wrong with you two. Before Da Lang left, he gave you money to take care of the Erlang brothers and sisters. You took the money but no one took care of them. How will you explain to Da Lang when he comes back?"
"That's right! I rented the land from Dalang's family, but didn't pay rent, and still dig like this for half a stone's worth of food."
"If I had known better, I would have rented it to me. I rented the land from the old bachelor's family at the west end of the village and got one stone per acre!"
Everyone was whispering, and even though Uncle Li didn't hear it, he still felt the contemptuous gaze. He was suddenly ashamed and angry, and said to Xu Yin:
"Okay! What are you talking about? Didn't you promise to give you food? I will also repay you the money Dalang gave you! I didn't want it in the first place, but he insisted on giving it."
"What?" Aunt Li screamed when she heard that she was going to give money back, "Why pay back! No! That's what we deserve. His third uncle and brother-in-law have both, so why should my family give it back!"
The third uncle of the Li family who was named secretly hid in the crowd and did not dare to show his face.
I was originally dissatisfied with the boss's exclusive use of the nephew's land, and had always wanted to find an opportunity to get a share of the pie. But now it seems that my nephew-in-law is a powerful person, so I might as well forget it. I can't get it back later, and I have to give back the money I got.
Then the gain outweighs the loss.
The two of them looked at each other, secretly escaped from the crowd, and hid at home. No one could shout out, for fear of paying back the money.
Xu Yin didn't ask for the money Da Lang gave her. If she wanted to ask for it, she would wait until Da Lang came back to ask for it herself. She only wanted food today.
Aunt Li stopped yelling. With a sullen face, she dragged two stones of grain out of the basket.
"You said it yourself, you don't need our help, just take it away! Return the basket quickly."
Seeing that they were two large baskets that were not easy to carry, Xu Yin asked the melon eaters who could lend her a pole.
“I have a carrying pole at home!”
Uncle Li couldn't help but turned around and went back to the house to get a pole.
But he was so angry that he didn't even mention helping his nephew's daughter-in-law to pick her home. It was up to her to see what she was going to do as a woman.
However, a village woman who had a disagreement with Aunt Li said enthusiastically: "Daughter-in-law, do you want me to help you take care of the house?"
"Thank you, but no need."
Xu Yin squatted down, hung the two baskets on the poles, and picked them up easily.
