Within three days, the whole village knew about Li Hui's family's begging for things. In addition, Xu Geng had worked hard to publicize Li Wanshan's harsh words, which suddenly put Li Fang's family at the forefront of the storm.
Li Fang, who was originally scheduled to go to town on the 26th, waited until the 29th at home. If he didn't go, it would be the end of the month, so he didn't make the trip, so he made an appointment with Li Xiang.
On the morning of the thirtieth day, Li Hui and Yu Zhao went to work and saw Li Fang and Li Xiang. None of the four of them spoke to each other.
In front of Li Fang, Li Xiang remained the same as before, taking Li Fang as the priority in everything.
When the two left the village, Li Xiang was considerate and comforted:
"Second brother, don't be angry. We will borrow the things you want back. As the saying goes, 'a gentleman's revenge is never too late.' This time, we will ask for it directly in the name of 'ethnic learning'. If we don't give it back, we will isolate them."
Li Fang has completely recognized Li Xiang, and naturally he will no longer blindly trust him as before.
He waved his hand impatiently to interrupt him and scolded:
"Go your way, there is so much nonsense! Ethnic studies, ethnic studies, if you want your son to take over ethnic studies, he must first take the scientific examination. Studying is nothing, and your efforts here are useless, you know?"<
/p>
Li Xiang was attacked inexplicably. He couldn't get up or get down for a breath. He felt extremely aggrieved.
There are not many people on the official road, but there are many villagers under the willow trees at the head of Wanghe Village. The sun is very sunny these days, and after breakfast, the old men all come out to gather and chat.
Cheng Xue didn't go to the village, so she was holding Li Huai in her yard to bask in the sun. Li Tian was playing with Huzi in the yard.
Although it is cold in winter, as long as you wear good clothes and keep warm, you will not get sick. And going out often will also help your growth.
"Where are my brothers and sisters basking in the sun? Tie the tiger cub down."
"Hey, my sister-in-law is here. Why are you so free today? Tiedan, come here and tie up the dog. Mom has no hands." Cheng Xue called to the next room.
Li Yue had become very familiar with Yan Yixin since they had experienced asking for things that day. The more Cheng Xue looked at Yan Yixin, the more satisfied she became, so she asked him to take on the important task of teaching the siblings how to read.
Yan Yixin taught seriously, and the two siblings also studied seriously. Only Cheng Xue was serious about looking for candy and eating it happily.
The door opened and Mrs. Yang came in. When Cheng Xue saw the basket in her hand, her face suddenly changed.
"Oh girl, what are you doing? Why aren't you happy?"
Cheng Xue deliberately hummed, handed Li Huai to Li Heng, told her to "take my sister to the next door", and then went straight into the house.
Yang followed with a silly smile and put the basket on the table in the east room.
"Last time my sister-in-law came here, I told her that just take care of the thirty acres of land, and you don't need to give eggs. Why are you disobedient?"
"Oh, we are not pretending to be fat, this is within the scope of our ability." Yang explained in a flattering manner, "I have discussed with your eldest brother and will give you fifteen eggs every month from now on until the five years are up.
These are supplementary, starting from the month we pull bricks."
Seeing how sincerely she spoke, Cheng Xue felt reluctant to accept them, so she could only nod her head and agree.
"Okay, that's it, it's settled, fifteen per month, nothing more."
"Okay, okay, listen to you."
Yang looked around the room with a smile. When she saw the screens and candlesticks in the room, she couldn't help but nodded and said:
"That's how it is. If you don't need things, you have to put them on display. Those who are shameless will come and ask for them."
"Yeah, I just woke up now, but fortunately it's not too late."
"It's definitely not too late." Yang agreed, "By the way, sister, I want to ask your opinion on something."
"What's going on?"
Yang played with the tea cup and sighed softly:
"It's like this. Sanyu's wife came home early in the morning. She said that Si Zhu's daughter-in-law is here and she wants us to bring her mother and daughter back. Sanyu's family also wants to come back."
Oh, this is quite unexpected.
Cheng Xue thought for a moment and expressed her opinion.
"Sister-in-law, the Sanyu family doesn't have to accept it, but the Sizhu family has to."
If there are no special circumstances, there is no need to pick up the two families. After all, they are separated.
But Guo Sizhu has no son, and his only daughter Cuini is as old as Li Tian. If something happens to his fourth wife, one will die and two will die. It will be difficult for Guo Dake and his wife to explain.
Yang curled her lips when she heard this and rubbed her temples helplessly.
"Why are you saying the same thing as your big brother? Girl, it's unreasonable to accept the fourth bedroom but not the third bedroom."
Uh...
What is unjustifiable about this!
"Sister-in-law, are you thinking too much?"
Yang put down the water glass, shook her head and said:
"It's not that I overthink it, it's just that I didn't do it. Your elder brother called me a bitch, and said that I'd eat a hundred beans without feeling fishy." But you can't ignore the third child, and you can't ignore the old man. Don't worry about that day.
What's the deal? The third-bedroom child's surname is Guo, and he is the grandson of the old man."
Everyone has their own point of view. Because Yang respects his father-in-law, he will consider everything from his perspective.
Even if the old man is very angry, as the saying goes, "there are cruel children, but there are no cruel parents", the old man must still miss his grandchildren.
Cheng Xue could understand her mood, but he couldn't support her actually picking up the third room.
"Sister-in-law, originally I shouldn't be involved as an outsider in this matter, but my sister-in-law believed me and asked me for my opinion, so I spoke boldly. Do you think this is a good idea? What Sanyu's wife said, I will tell you in front of Uncle Guo tonight.
Brother Dake will speak once.
If Uncle Guo agrees, then Brother Dake certainly can’t stop him. If Uncle Guo doesn’t agree, you don’t have to be embarrassed. Sister-in-law, don’t forget, why did Uncle Guo get sick?”
The last sentence instantly awakened Yang.
Yes, the old man’s illness was caused by his three sons’ anger.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll talk about it when I get home tonight. By the way, sister, aren't you paying for the clan food again?"
"...Huh?" Cheng Xue was confused.
"You didn't pay it?"
Cheng Xue's mouth twitched hard, she shook her head and said:
"I don't have a lot of money to burn, so why do I pay for family food?"
Yang frowned slightly and nodded with a puzzled expression.
"Yeah, I think so too. Since you didn't hand it over, where did your wife's new jewelry come from? Two big red gold bracelets, so thick."
Cheng Xue was also surprised when she looked at the size of her hand gestures.
Although she has a father-in-law who is the leader of the clan and teaches clan culture, she cannot just buy such heavy red gold jewelry. What’s more, they just asked for the things back a few days ago, which was a time when her vitality was severely damaged. p>
"How did sister-in-law know?"
"Hey, when she saw Tian'er going to stay under the willow tree at the end of the village at noon, she put the bracelet on her wrist, and she could see it at a glance."
Oh, it’s quite a show off of wealth.
Cheng Xue sneered, rubbed her neck carelessly, and said:
"Anyway, I didn't pay for the clan food. As for how she bought it... I guess she has some family background."
"Bullshit!" Yang didn't believe it at all.
Although the wealth of each household is unknown, the land, houses, and population are transparent. A little calculation can give a rough idea. The Li Fang family is well-off, but they will not buy it just because they want it...
