CHAPTER XXIII EXTERNAL UNCLE DOUBLE (4)
After staying at the Zhang house for two days, the uncles seemed to want to make up for their five or six years of absence, so they played with the red beans and the hairy beans with all their might. In the morning, he would go to the mountains to dig winter bamboo shoots, and in the afternoon, he would go to the ice river to dig holes and fish. Forget about Mao Dou, even Li Yannian, the genuine child who had long since become an adult, was having a great time playing around.
But February’s footsteps had arrived in the blink of an eye.
Other than the Zhang family’s few daughter-in-law, who stayed at home to take care of the children, almost all the members of the Zhang family moved out. Early in the morning, with Zhang Yaomei taking the lead, under the escort of the Zhang Family Village, they brought Black Bean to Li Village.
Li Yannian did not know about her return trip until the moment she stepped out of the door, and her grandmother had even called Zhang Wen Bing, who was in the middle of the village, to accompany him. From the looks of it, the Zhang Clan was planning to blow up this small matter of theirs. She was not worried at all that the Zhang Family would suffer a loss, not to mention having their own businesses, just these three uncles of hers – First Uncle had returned to the Du Jia Village to work the day before yesterday, and she did not even need to say a single word. Just standing there was enough to make her feel pressured.
The Li family, the major chamber and the Third Branch were just bullying their lonely three siblings. They would see if they could still bully them in the future!
Li Yannian snickered, and even the long mountain road that she thought was extremely long was no longer difficult to walk on, with light and quick steps, she was about to fly.
After four hours, the group of people entered the entrance of Li Village. Zhang Yaomei first asked her wife, Xu Zhangshu, and her second son, Zhang Erbao, to go with him to invite Li Qingfeng, the leader of the Li Village. Under the curious and probing gazes of the rest of the villagers, she first went to the small house where the three siblings were staying to check out the situation. At the same time, she also arranged for the food and clothing prepared for the three siblings to be placed in the small house.
But if he did not go, that would be good. If he did, Zhang Family’s lungs would have exploded from anger. The three small red mud huts that occupied the space had mostly collapsed, and only the stove remained standing. The door was shaking from the north wind. Strange creaking sounds came from it. It made people wonder if, in the next moment, this worn-out door would suddenly fall to the ground with a loud bang.
The stove was narrow and narrow, the moment they entered, they had a clear view of three siblings’s house, where should they be staying? If he had known earlier that they would suffer so much, he would have taken them away no matter what!
Zhang Yaomei’s heart ached as though a piece of her heart’s core had been cut off. She asked in disbelief, “You all have been living in this kind of place for the most part of half a year?”
Black Bean blushed and nodded, “I had plans to build a house, but I didn’t have the time for that.”
What did it mean not having enough time? If there was money, who wouldn’t build a house in the middle of winter, leaving a room with no kang and no wind to cool it down?
Zhang Yaomei’s face was so dark that the ink could come out, she turned and spoke to the shocked and unwilling Zhang Wen Bing: “Uncle Zhang, you saw it too, how the Li Family bullied my granddaughter and the rest, for that reason, we must get to the bottom of it!”
Uncle Zhang looked at Li Yannian and Mao Dou with sympathy. He could not help but shake his head and sigh.
The faces of the Zhang family’s three uncles turned ashen, hearing the commotion outside the door, they all turned their heads, but they were so scared that they were startled by Li Village who was following Black Bean and the rest into the room.
Since there were so many people in the small kitchen, Zhang Yaomei gestured for her sons to retreat into the courtyard so that Xu Zhangshu and Li Qingfeng could enter and see what the Li Family had done to their children.
Li Qingfeng had originally heard that the three children of the second house of the Li family were having a hard time, but he never would have thought that it would be this hard. Although he had accepted two taels of silver from major chamber to help him take the three acres of land, major chamber still agreed with him.
He was secretly complaining on the side, this time the children’s outer sect disciples had come looking for him, and even brought him some money. He might just make things difficult for them, but he had the attitude of wanting to meet an official in the county, how good was the Li Family major chamber’s silver from the start, now he was regretting it a lot, and had already scolded Li Qingshan and his wife to death in his stomach.
Uncle Zhang tapped the smoke gun in his hand and laughed. “Brother Qing Feng, we haven’t seen each other for some time.” This time, if it wasn’t because of your Li Village being so unreliable, this old skeleton wouldn’t have spent so much effort to come all the way here. It’s a terrible thing to do, and it’s bad for the reputation of your village if it gets out, isn’t it? After bullying a few children to such an extent, we should at least have an explanation for it. Why don’t we go to the children’s parents’ house and talk about it? ”
Li Qingfeng forced a smile and said: “Since Big Bro already said that, then I will accompany Big Bro on a trip to the Li Family. I want to hear what the Li Family members have to say, so I will be the witness.”
Zhang Yaomei glared at him coldly, and said with a smile that did not reach her eyes: “Since Uncle Li has agreed to be a witness, then in the future when the county magistrate has something to say, I ask that Uncle Li come as well.
The smile on Li Qingfeng’s face stiffened, he turned around and looked at Zhang Wen Bing who was begging him for help, then looked at Xu Zhangshu who had invited him over, but the two of them did not seem to understand his gaze, and turned around.
If this were to end up in the county, the county magistrate would be the one to eat the defendant after the plaintiff had eaten him. In terms of family background, the Zhang Family was richer than the Li Family. A poke into the county, that would mean that he, as a Li Village, was done for.
Had he known earlier, he would not have taken Li Qingshan’s mere two taels of silver! Li Qingfeng was regretting his mistake, he was forced to do nothing, and could only promise the Zhang Family: “Your child’s life is so good, my heart aches for her. I really should accompany his to the Li Clan to seek an explanation for all of you.”
Li Yannian kept shouting in her heart, thinking that her grandmother was the strongest, opening her mouth to capture Li Village, the local tyrant.
Black Bean looked at them in satisfaction. There were times when he would not even so much as glance at them!
The group of people put down their things and was about to head towards the Li family estate. Mao Dou purposely lagged behind as he tugged at the corner of Li Yannian’s clothes. He asked in a low voice, “Sis, why are so many eggs missing from our house?”
Li Yannian tapped his forehead and smiled mysteriously: “I already said it’s something that the deities want, so when I wanted to take it away, I naturally took it.”
At first, he thought that there was a thief in the house, but when he saw that Li Yannian was not surprised at all, he knew that she had done it in a weird way. He was extremely curious, but there was still someone at home, so he held himself back and didn’t ask.
It was not that Li Yannian purposely hid this from them to scare them, it was just that the System was progressing too quickly. Just as she was about to enter the room, as she was thinking that there were so many eggs piled up in front of her grandmother and uncle, she suddenly thought that there might be some doubt within. Beginner transactions amount to 1000 yuan, free 10 square meters of storage space next month)
Since it is free, there is no need to waste it!
Li Yannian immediately chose to agree, and then felt that all the eggs in the room had instantly been moved to the warehouse. Upon entering, he found that the place where the eggs had been piled was now empty.
This was good as well. In the future, if there were any things that were inconvenient for her to reveal, she could just stuff them into the warehouse.
Of course, it was best to keep such incredible things hidden from the two brothers. As long as Black Bean and Mao Dou enjoyed the convenience that her Treasure Shop brought, the less they knew about it, be it for them or for her, it would be safer.
Li Qingfeng rubbed his hands together, smiling awkwardly: “Uncle, you’re eating right now? Yo, this food is pretty good. There’s wine and meat, so your life is quite comfortable. ”
After saying that, Li Qingfeng wanted to slap himself in the face. He really wanted to add oil to the fire by sprinkling salt onto Zhang Family’s wound!
Sure enough, when Zhang Yaomei heard that, she became extremely angry and sneered at the two Li Family elders: “Your own family eats very delicious food and drinks spicy food, and you even left the small ones below to eat until they’re full or wear warm, what are you doing? When I get back, I really want to go to the village and tell them that your Li family really doesn’t change their way of doing things.
Madame Li immediately threw down her chopsticks: “Which family’s dog came to bite people during the new year’s celebration? Did all of your Zhang family grow up eating feces?” Your mouth stinks like that? ”
She still wanted to come up and beat Zhang Yaomei up? The Zhang family’s uncles could see how impressive the situation was. Not only had their mother been scolded by others, they even had their mother beaten up right in front of them?
They immediately picked up their things on the spot, Zhang Erbao picked up his chair, Zhang Sanbao grabbed the ancestral tablets that were on the incense table in the living room. Li Yannian was sighing inwardly about her uncles’ straightforward and aggressive ways when she saw Little Uncle turn his head around. Seeing that she really had nothing left to take, felt wronged and picked up the feather duster that was thrown beside the door.
Eh, something doesn’t seem right about this scene …
However, in the end, they still weren’t able to win. The Li family’s old man impatiently shouted at Madame Li, “It’s the new year, calm down a little.”
Madame Li’s anger had been completely wiped out in an instant, so she obediently retreated to the side.
Old Man Li put down the wine cup in his hand heavily and raised his chin towards Xu Zhangshu: “My dear family, have you eaten lunch yet? Sit down and drink a cup of wine to warm your body. The two guards also sat down. There weren’t any good dishes or wine at home, so don’t mind them.
Zhang Yaomei was about to lose her temper when his wife shook her head at her. Outside, Zhang Yaomei was still giving some face to his wife, causing the fire to go out, so the men could handle this matter.
Everyone was sitting at the table. Old Man Li raised his eyelids and said indifferently to Madame Li: “Guests are all knocking on my door, there’s no need to make me hungry. You go inside and cook another pot of noodles and fry two eggs. ”
Madame Li opened her mouth to curse, but Zhang Yaomei first rejected her with a cold voice.
“I can’t take my mother’s noodles, who knows if there’s poison inside! My daughter married into your family and worked as a horse for so many years. It’s fine if she didn’t give anything to the branch family, but she didn’t even report her loss when she died. Don’t think that I don’t know that you’ve stopped my mother and daughter from meeting for so many years. Your Li family has done too many wicked things. Black Bean, Hong Dou, if you bring your brother along, let’s go home and make dinner! ”
Madame Li was almost angered to the point of falling backwards. Just as she was about to chase after him and scold him, the three Zhang brothers suddenly glared at her, and she immediately became breathless.
Old Man Li’s face turned dark, he was quiet for a moment, seeing that the Zhang brothers did not follow them back, he nodded his head to signal for them to sit down and eat, then glared at Madame Li, implying a warning.
Lady Li shrank back from her wife’s stare, knowing that she was in the wrong, and seeing that there weren’t many dishes on the table, she could only go to the stove and fry another plate of eggs and a plate of leek. Originally, she wanted to spit in the food, but when she remembered the warning look in Old Man Li’s eyes, she gave up.
