Chapter 54 Nameless Dining Hall (4)

There were salted prawns for dinner and stewed radish with beef. The majority of the prawns had entered Zhao Xu’s stomach, the beef was completely filled up by Black Bean and the Mao Dou Brothers, and the radishes that were filled to the brim with beef soup were mostly finished up by Li Yannian.

She could see that the Li brothers were dogs after all. Even if they ate seafood, they would only feel fresh after eating it once. When they had meat, they would still rather eat meat, finding it too troublesome to eat prawns and peel their shells.

As for Zhao Xu, he was a cat. As long as there was seafood on the table, he would be straight with eyes wide open.

This was really a family of gluttons! Every time she drilled into the kitchen, the eyes of a few children of all sizes would sweep over her. Their expressions were as if they were treating her as a moving human gourmet, waiting for her to come up with something delicious to eat.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he had a golden hand in the Treasure Shop, he really wouldn’t have been able to support a family like this.

While Li Yannian was washing the dishes, she was thinking about something, when she suddenly heard Mao Dou calling him.

“Bro, I forgot to tell you guys that Eldest Uncle came to our house today. I lied to him that the second door was locked and I couldn’t open it, so he left in a huff. ”

Li Yannian was immediately on guard, what was Li Qingshan doing in their home? What kind of evil scheme was this?

Black Bean asked: “Did he say anything?”

Mao Dou: “Uncle didn’t say anything. He just kicked the door when he arrived. Xu Zige and I were shocked when we were in the room. I went up to the second floor and told Big Uncle that you guys had things to do, and he went out. The second door of our house couldn’t be opened, and Big Uncle wanted to knock on it.

Li Yannian thought that the Li Family major chamber and the Three Houses were all rotten things, what was the point of coming here? In short, this was a weasel paying respects to a chicken for a new year, he had no good intentions. Initially, he felt that it was inconvenient for Mao Dou and the others to follow him back to the town. Now that he thought about it, leaving the two of them, one weak and one foolish, at home really made him a bit worried.

Mao Dou proudly replied, “Of course, I’m smart. “Brother, don’t worry. Even if Big Uncle and the others come again next time, I won’t make a sound. I’ll pretend that there’s no one at home.”

Li Yannian shook off the water stains on her hands, grabbed a towel and wiped it as she walked into the living room.

He then turned to Black Bean and said: “Brother, since it is still not late, why don’t we go to Aunt’s place? “Looks like I’ll have to pick up the matter of buying a car earlier. Also, I’ll have to ask about this afternoon’s matter as well.”

Black Bean nodded: “Then let’s go. If I don’t clarify this matter, I won’t feel at ease either.”

Borrowing the weak starlight, the two of them went to Auntie Li’s house next door and knocked on the door. Only then did Uncle Li and Auntie Li take a rest for dinner, and the dishes on the table had not even been served yet, they were just a bowl of red oil curd s that Li Yannian had given them before, and a small bowl of boiled vegetables with half of the remaining water. Without them living at home, the old couple’s food was clearly several times worse than before.

Of course, Auntie Li also saw the surprise in Li Yannian’s eyes, but she was not embarrassed, and laughed: “Why are you here at this time? Did you hear Mao Dou talk about what happened in the afternoon? Sigh, that uncle of yours is truly unlucky. After getting scolded by the Old Man Li, he will really vent his anger on you little ones. ”

Without waiting for the two siblings to ask, Auntie Li carried two small stools over for them to sit on and told the two little ones about the joke that villagers told them this morning.

“Didn’t you guys get ruined in the fields last time? Didn’t you guys plant quite a few caput dysenteriae s? Your uncle and I went to your grandfather’s house to talk about this matter. At that time, Old Man Li did not say anything, and your uncle and I thought that Old Man Li did not want to bother with your family’s matters.

“Who would have thought that two days ago, Old Man Li would suddenly hoist a carrying pole onto your uncle’s house. Even the elders couldn’t stop him. Behind him, it was you who ran a few steps faster with your little feet, saving your uncle. They talked for a long time before realizing that the reason for their boss’s beating was because he had helped your mother plant caput dysenteriae in your fields that night. ”

“Even your uncle and your family have a share in this matter! “He’s really unlucky. There’s not a single good person in this family. Everyone is looking forward to see if you kids can continue to live like this.”

Li Yannian did not understand, and asked curiously: “Since third uncle has a share, why didn’t my grandfather hit third uncle, only eldest uncle?”

Auntie Li curled her lips in disdain: “The one leading the pack is still your milk! Could it be that Old Man Li was able to hang his wife up and beat her up? No matter how he thought about it, he could only do what he wanted! Furthermore, your uncle is your big brother. As your big brother, he did not bring your little brother along to learn. As your father, of course, we should beat him up first. ”

Li Yannian subconsciously looked at Black Bean, who blinked innocently at her, causing her to laugh uncontrollably: “Big bro, luckily you’re not the same as big uncle, you didn’t lead me and Mao Dou to break.”

As he spoke, he turned to Auntie Li and asked, “But Aunt, how did my master know the truth in bringing Uncle and Third Uncle to ruin our land?”

“Thank you, Third Aunt, for doing all this, asking people everywhere for caput dysenteriae s that were pulled out from the fields. It was too late for villagers to avoid this thing. There was even someone who specifically asked them for the seedling, saying that her mother-in-law told her to ask for it. Isn’t this weird? villagers would say whatever he wanted to say. After a while, it already spread to your master’s ears. “When you go home and ask again, you’ll know everything.”

He really wasn’t afraid of a god-like opponent, but a pig-like teammate! No wonder they had seen Old Man Li hoeing in their fields a few days ago. He had been there to “atone for his sins”.

Li Yannian felt that the Old Man Li could not be considered to be bad, but there were some people who acted in their own way, and there were even some who valued their sons and daughters seriously. It was a fatal flaw in the modern world to prioritize males over females. However, in the ancient times, especially in rural areas like the Li Village, it was extremely common.

Of course, this did not mean that Li Yannian had a good impression of the Old Man Li. For a person who viewed his face and authority as more important than the happiness of his own flesh and blood, being able to respect Old Man Li as an ordinary elder was already his bottom line. However, he wanted her to be a well-behaved, sensible, and well-behaved junior, just like the body’s original owner’s father, Li Hongshan. She had to be as loyal and filial as the original owner, and sacrifice her own family to help everyone …

She asked herself if she was aware of the fact that she was using the money she had earned to feed a family of bloodsucking leeches. Sorry, but she really couldn’t do it.

“Your uncle has probably recovered from his injuries in the past few days. He is quite angry, and is jumping up and down again.” By the way, you new seedlings in the field, don’t let them kill you again. I think we need to find the Lizheng for this matter. Even if it’s a peasant, he would not be able to tolerate it. ”

Auntie Li said indignantly. Uncle Li, who had been sitting quietly at the side, glanced at her, then said to the siblings, “Don’t worry, your grandpa has already said that. If anyone dares to touch the things in your land again, he will go and invite the Earthen Lord to follow the rules of our village.”

Li Yannian did not know what the rules of the Li Village were, but looking at how shocked Auntie Li and Black Bean were, she guessed that the rules should be strict.

Black Bean opened his mouth and said: “Then I won’t be worried anymore. Eldest Uncle and Third Uncle couldn’t hold back their anger anymore, so they didn’t dare to bring trouble to this land anymore. Uncle Li, thank you for your concern. Speaking of which, us siblings have always been under the care of Uncle and Aunt. Originally, I didn’t have the luxury of asking for your help, but after thinking about it a bit, other than Uncle and Aunt, I really can’t think of anyone else who would really treat us well. ”

Auntie Li had a face full of happiness when she heard this, but managed to suppress the smile in her eyes after being rolled in Uncle Li’s gaze. She said politely, “Child, you are too foreign to me. As long as it’s something we can help with, you can just ask for it. ”

Black Bean looked at Li Yannian, and when the latter understood, he immediately took out a note that was worth a hundred silver and handed it over to Auntie Li.

“This is?” Even though Auntie Li didn’t know how to read, she could still recognize the size of the banknotes. When she saw the amount of money on the banknotes, she couldn’t help but be shocked, “So much money, where did you guys get it from?”

Li Yannian laughed: “Aunt, rest assured, this money is from our shop’s owner, they can help me buy an ox-cart. The two of us had to go to the shop every day, and after thinking about it for a while, we had to make things difficult for our uncle and aunt, to help our boss create a suitable car. You don’t have to use the best ones, you just need to use it. ”

Black Bean continued: “We are also not clear about the situation, and are afraid that others will see that we are still young, so we casually gave a price. In the end, he was still helping his boss. If he didn’t do his job well, he was afraid that his boss would blame him afterwards. Uncle, can you help us out this time? If you don’t have enough money, I’ll ask my boss later. ”

Uncle Li shook his head: “It’s not necessary, we still have more to look for. Don’t worry, I’ll go to town tomorrow to take a look. ”

Li Yannian laughed: “Then that’s for the best. “Uncle, if you buy it, you can just go up to the restaurant on the pier and look for us.”

The Auntie Li opened her mouth to say something, but seeing that the Uncle Li was floating towards him as a warning, she suppressed her words, “I have to go back to work tomorrow.”

Taking advantage of the fact that Uncle Li was up and sending the two out, Li Yannian secretly stuffed half a tael of silver into Auntie Li’s heart. The Auntie Li subconsciously wanted to push her back, but Li Yannian stopped her hand and shushed her, even winking mischievously at her.

“Aunt, you still have to save up for your wife for Hu-ge.”

With just one sentence, he had successfully changed Auntie Li’s mind. She quickly glanced at her wife who was walking in front of her. She did not insist and silently kept the half silver taels into her sleeve.

Seeing that she was willing to accept the silver, Li Yannian smiled and said the other thing that he wanted her to help with.

“Oh right, aunty, I have something I need to ask of you. Help me see who has a little chick growing out of them. I can make thirty to fifty of them.”

“Why do you need so many chicks?”

Li Yannian laughed: It’s fine to raise and play, Dou Dou has nothing to do at home, it’s fine to give him something to do. Furthermore, there might be leftover food in the shop, and it would be a pity to sell it to someone who collects slops. It would be better to keep it to feed the chickens. ”

Originally, he wanted to bring it back to the Aunt Zhang to feed the chickens. However, the other party didn’t appreciate his help, so Li Yannian thought that it would be better to let the other person take advantage of himself instead. In any case, he had the warehouse on hand, it was a skill that could be casually put away and given out.

The Auntie Li still did not agree with Li Yannian’s actions, and patiently advised: “Chicken is not something that can be raised easily. As long as one of them gets sick, the rest will suffer. Didn’t you see that even though the Widow Hu has raised a lot, there are only about 10 or so of them in the village?

Uncle Li and Black Bean stopped in their tracks. Hearing her say that, they looked at Li Yannian suspiciously.

Li Yannian laughed: “Aunt, don’t worry, Dou Dou is very careful. Actually, I won’t hide it from my aunt. This matter was also instructed by our boss. He was worried about the chickens raised by someone else, so who knows how he fed them? “He just wants us to feed him. If he dies, we’ll let him take it. If he comes back alive, we’ll send him to his residence. We’ll also give him some to share with him. This can be considered as a good fortune.”

The Auntie Li curled her lips and said: “There are a lot of problems with this rich person as well. Alright, since it’s not your fault, Aunt will not stop you. I will go over to Widow Hu’s house and ask for some seeds. “Let’s not talk about other things. Aunty was a good hand at raising chickens. There were only a few bad people who raised chickens.”

“Aunt, it seems that Dou Dou will have to take you as her master in the future. Please give me some pointers.”

Auntie Li laughed as she covered her mouth in embarrassment. She humbly spoke a few sentences before sending Li Yannian out.
