Chapter Fifty-Nine: A New Member of the Li Family

eact, still saying, "No, no, it's Uncle, Uncle!""Eh!" Jia Yin responded clearly once again.The man blinked a couple of times, finally feeling something was amiss.But the onlookers were already laughin..."Who are you talking about, who knows!" The scolding woman was not to be trifled with, she pounded on the pots and pans forcefully.

"Whose house is inhabited by a gambler who has no sense of self-control Everyday, everyone carefully puts things away, afraid that they might be snatched if they aren't careful! And the person themselves doesn't even realize it, acting like they are oblivious!"

"That's right!" another woman chimed in.

"Just now, I saw with my own eyes a gambler walking away carrying grain. What else could he be doing Selling his grain to gamble, of course! Think everyone's as rich as you are, hoarding their grain like treasure!"

Someone even shouted to the head of the household, an elderly woman.

"Big Sister Gao, what kind of hard labor have you found Don't abandon us all because of her! We've been renting from you for several years! This rotten egg has spoiled the whole pot of soup, making it uncomfortable for everyone to live here."

The old woman, who was also the landlord of this courtyard, glared at Wu Cuifang and snorted coldly.

"Shut your dog's mouth, or I'll knock out your teeth if you cause any more trouble! Have you finished washing the clothes today Get to work!"

Wu Cuifang was furious, but more afraid that they would run out of food. How could she survive next month!

She mustered all her courage and finally pleaded with the old woman for a long time, managing to get another ten kilograms of grain. Afterward, one kilogram would be deducted from her monthly allowance until it was fully repaid.

After a commotion, she wasted an hour and was busy until nightfall before finishing all her work.

It wasn't until three watches of the night that Wu Erdog returned, head bowed in dejection.

As a result, the house was cold and empty. There wasn't even a single cup of hot water, let alone any food.

He flew into a rage!

"What do you do all day at home Why don't you cook or boil water"

Wu Cuifang jumped directly from the cold kang.

"Do you still have the face to speak I'm supposed to cook, but how Where's the food! You took all the food! Return it to me right now!"

Wu Erdog woke up and remembered he had sold his food.

His eyes darted around wildly, as if in response.

"How would I know, didn't you forget where you put it!"

Wu Cuifua couldn't bear it any longer, so she stepped forward and slapped him.

"You bastard! You only know how to gamble! That's my month's salary, you dare to steal even that! How are we going to survive Are we going to eat the northwest wind Do you even have the face to come in and eat You've been eating off of my salary this whole time!"

Wu Erdog was in pain, and he wasn't happy either. He shook off his sister angrily.

"What are you making a fuss about It's just some food! When I win money later, I'll buy you two hundred kilograms!"

"How could you not die! You're still 200 kilograms, I haven't even seen two pounds! What will we do now, starve to death together"

Wu Cuifang sat on the kang, crying loudly. She really didn't know how she ended up with such a gambling addict of a younger brother.

Being the only child left in the family, with both parents gone, how could she possibly think of killing her own brother

Obviously, Wu Erdog also knew this. He lay down in the bed, ignoring his sister's cries completely.

He yawned as he came up with a suggestion, "Tomorrow, you go back to Li's family and ask for some."

Wu Cuiflower turned around and kicked him.

“You dare say that! I was kicked out of the Li family, who is to blame Wasn't it because you implicated me!”

Wu Ergou didn't care, "You gave the Li family two grandsons. They really dare to starve you to death!"

Wu Cuiflower remained silent, thinking about Old Mrs. Li and Li Lao'er. She was truly a little afraid of them.

But without food, we can't starve to death either.

After a long night, she woke up the next day with a rumbling stomach. Gritting her teeth, she kowtowed profusely to the old lady of the house and finally managed to get half a day off. She returned to Qing Shui Village.

The weather was warm, and the villagers couldn't stay idle. Old and young often went to the fields.

As a result, they encountered Wu Cuifang on the way. Everyone looked at her strangely.

Someone guessed that Wu Cuifang was back to cause trouble, so they took a detour down the back path and ran away.

Old Li carried Jia Yin on her back and was tending to the vegetable garden behind.

Although several old men promised to take care of the vegetable garden, they either had no arms or no legs. It was pitiful to see them.

So, if you can help them do a little more, give them a little less.

Villagers ran towards them, shouting from afar, “Auntie, Wu Cuifang is back. Looking at her like that, I'm afraid something bad has happened.”

Lao Li frowned and thanked the villagers.

She hurried back to the front yard. Her family, Jiaxi and Jianan, were chopping wood in the courtyard. They weren't being honest about their work either.

Two people competed to see who could split the firewood thinner, almost hitting their fingers.

Just as they were feeling apprehensive, Grandma rushed out, startling them.

Before she could even speak, Wu Cuiflower arrived at the door, “Mother, that...I came back to see you!”

Li Laotai didn't say a word, picked up the wooden pole in the corner of the courtyard, and rushed out.

Jia Xilai Jia An was taken aback and also reached for the bolt and broom.

Three generations, plus one Jia Yin, beat Wu Cuifang until she ran away like a frightened mouse.

She didn't expect her family to be so cruel, beating her as soon as they saw her.

I wish I had two more legs right now, but I still got beaten with two poles. It hurt so much.

She also wanted to wait for her son to come back and plead for leniency, but she waited until noon and still didn't see him.

It wasn't until she asked the villagers that she learned, Jiarren hadn't returned from studying, and Jiayi had gone to be a bodyguard.

This is hopeless!

Wu Cuifang still wanted to throw her face away and go outside Li's house to make a scene.

As a result, far away, Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si drove back a sturdy mule.

She was so scared that she quickly hid!

When he made Li Lao Er do hard labor, he explained it clearly.

If she dares to go home and meddle, I'll strangle her and throw her in the river.

She had no support from her family, and her brother was selfish.

Then, no one will dare to speak up for her. If she dies, it'll be a pointless death!

At that moment, the hatred and disgust in Li Lao Er's eyes made her not dare to doubt...

The gate of the Li family's courtyard finally opened because their son was coming back.

The villagers followed all the way and at this time, they all rushed into the courtyard to watch the commotion.

"This mule cost a lot of silver, it's really strong."

"Yeah, it should last seven or eight years."

"This is much more useful than the village head's donkey."

Li Lao Si didn't like it, so he arranged for the mule to drink water and brush its fur.

Jiā xǐ jiā ān also wanted to come forward, but was pulled aside by Li Lao'er.

"Be careful, you might get hit! In a few days when the grass grows, take it out for walks more often. Once it gets used to you, it won't kick up a fuss."

Jīaxǐ jiā'ān gǎn jǐn diǎntóu, yuǎn yuǎn wàngzhe.

The content translates to: "Jiaxi Jia'an nodded quickly and watched from afar."

Jia An couldn't help but shout, "Father, let me ride it."

Li Laosi spoiled his children the most. He grinned and hugged his nephew and son onto the back of the donkey.

The two boys were ecstatic, but too afraid to move around. Their expressions were particularly funny.

But in the village, the children's eyes were envious and red, desperately pulling at their fathers' hands, shaking them frantically.

Finally, all the mischievous boys in attendance were lifted up and made into little donkey-riding warriors.

The mule was in a bad mood, snorting and flipping its lips, very agitated.

Fortunately, Old Madam Li found a cabbage and threw it over.

When the donkey has something tasty, it can bear the mischievous children.

The old men next door heard the commotion and came over to join in the fun.

They are veterans, more intimate and fond of livestock.

Uncle Zhao said straightforwardly, "Lao Si, your courtyard has so many children. Raising such a large animal is inconvenient. Why don't you move it to our courtyard We can help take care of it."

"Yes, that's right. Cleaning the dung and feeding the grass, you all don't have to worry about it anymore. These little chores, we can still manage." The other old men also chimed in.t unchecked, who knows what kind of trouble they will cause for the Northern Expeditionary Army later on!”And besides, every prominent family in Xindu City has tens of thousands of dan of grain stored...
