Chapter 25 play self pity? Who wouldn’t!

Chapter 25 Pretending to be pitiful? Who wouldn’t!

Everyone was thinking in their hearts, but they kept using their chopsticks.

The dishes tasted so good that they were paired with wine and rice, and everyone praised them.

 For a time, the yard became more lively.

The village chief smiled and took a sip of his wine, sighing inwardly.

Qingshui Village has been deserted for too long. Now that the Li family has arrived, it may be a good turn.

 The village will definitely become more and more prosperous and lively in the future.

“Sister-in-law, the Liu family is talking bad about your family all over the village. Logically speaking, you are relatives, why are you so angry?”

An old woman was sitting next to Mrs. Li chatting. Maybe she thought Mrs. Li was very kind, so she reminded her in a low voice.

Mrs. Li held Jiayin in her arms, pulled the fine cotton towel under her neck to wipe her saliva, and sighed.

“It’s sad to talk about it, but it’s okay not to talk about it.”

“Ah, you have to talk about it, otherwise everyone will think that your family is really having a good life and look down on your poor relatives.”

My wife's surname is Sun, and she loves to hear about these family members. Most of the news in the village comes from here.

Mrs. Li said softly with red circles in her eyes.

"When my brother Li Gen'er was alive, he sent me many letters. When his son got a wife and a family member was sick, he borrowed a lot of money from me. My family's life was not easy at that time, so I sold all my dowry and sent it to him. Come here with the money."

 She wiped away her tears and said again.

"I didn't want to fight. There was a riot outside the wall. We came all the way to escape for our lives, but the Guo family and the nephews didn't even let us in. They were afraid that I would bring up the money that I lent them to the Liu family!"

I was also heartbroken, so I told the Liu family to break off the relationship at that time, and the Liu family agreed. From now on, I would just be an ordinary villager. "

Once she heard what she said, not only Mrs. Sun, but also other women also felt disgusted with the Liu family.

 Heartless, white-eyed wolf, these words are all used on the Liu family.

I have to say that Mrs. Li is really good at this. Sometimes it is easier to get people on her side by pretending to be pitiful than by being reasonable.

Jiayin spat out a big bubble of saliva and was once again grateful to be reborn into a good family.

Brothers are united, sisters-in-law are harmonious, and the grandmother who heads the house also knows how to adapt.

 Even if the current life is difficult, as a family, we can always make it better if we work together.

The Liu family lives at the entrance of the village, which is a bit far away from the Li family, but the village is quiet. You can hear a few faint chatter and laughs, and smell the fragrance in the wind.

  “A family that suffers a thousand blows!”

 So many people were invited but they didn’t invite us. Isn’t this just a sign of giving us little shoes to wear? "Liu Tiezhu was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened.

Guo's eyelids were drooped and his expression was not good.

“That aunt of yours is the best at winning people’s hearts. She doesn’t help her relatives when she has money, but instead invites others to eat! Sooner or later, their family will not be able to survive!”

Liu Laifu on the other side rolled his eyes and also said.

“Mom, don’t be angry, I will deal with them sooner or later and get all the money back!”

This is said as if the Li family’s money should belong to their family.

Mr. Guo finally looked better after being coaxed by her son.

Liu Laifu took the opportunity and said, "Mom, give me some money, and I'll go to the county town to find Wu Er.

Wu Er also looked down upon the Li family. His sister was the second daughter-in-law of the Li family and knew the Li family best. With his help, it will definitely be easier to deal with the Li family if they want to cause trouble! "

Mr. Guo doted on his second son the most and actually gave him a handful of copper coins.

 Without a few words of instructions, Liu Laifu had already run out of the house.

Retaliation for the Li family is a trivial matter. Going to the casino to win money first is more important!

 The villagers received warm hospitality at the Li family, and their relationship with the Li family became much closer.

 At least everyone knows that the Li family is generous and their food is delicious.

 The next day, the young and old in the village started harvesting, and their busy feet did not touch the ground. The Li family had no crops to harvest, so they were very leisurely.

 After dinner early in the morning, Tao Hongying took Zhao Yuru to the mountains to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables.

Before leaving, Tao Hongying left two bowls of rice oil in the pot for her daughter, not afraid that she would be hungry.

The two sisters went up the mountain talking and laughing without asking Wu Cuihua. Anyway, even if Wu Cuihua followed, she would be lazy, so she simply didn't call her.

Li Laoer saw that many elderly people in the village were having difficulty walking yesterday, so he wanted to take the boys to help them with the autumn harvest.

 He only said a few words, and Mrs. Li agreed without hesitation.

“Bring more bread and don’t eat other people’s food. It’s not easy to collect some food.”

Old Mrs. Li told her son, holding Jiayin in her hand, bowing her head and kissing her chubby face.

 She dared to say that there was no shortage of food at home. This confidence was given by her precious granddaughter.

Li Lao Er, Li Lao San and Li Lao Si took Jiaren and the other boys and went straight to Uncle Zhao's house next door.

Uncle Zhao was in his early fifties, but he lost one leg and one eye on the battlefield.

Now he is a single man with no children, and he is also the one who has the most difficult autumn harvest in Qingshui Village.

 “Uncle Zhao, we are here to help you cut your crops!”

Jiaxi and Jiaan are naughty. Yesterday, they pestered Uncle Zhao to tell stories about the battlefield. Now they are familiar with each other, so they called out as soon as they entered the door.

“Brother Zhao, your legs and feet are inconvenient. Let us brothers come and help you with some farm work.”

Li Laoer smiled and greeted Uncle Zhao, and without waiting for Uncle Zhao to say anything, he took his younger brother and nephews through the Zhao family's backyard to cut sorghum in the fields.

 Sorghum poles must be piled together to dry, and the sorghum heads must be cut and packed into bags, carried back to Zhao's yard to dry, and finally beaten down to complete the work.

Li Lao Er and others wielded sickles, while Li Lao Si and Jia Yi were responsible for carrying the bags. They were walking as fast as flying.

Uncle Zhao lamely boiled water and carried it to the field. He was so happy that his family was happy and he ran forward to pick it up.

 Uncle Zhao touched their heads and the circles under their eyes were a little red.

“Tell me, how can I thank your family for this?”

“My grandma said that neighbors and villagers should help each other. Uncle, you sit down while we go to help with the work!”

Jiaxi Jiaan drank enough water and ran away again.

The Zhao family didn't have much land, only two acres, and the Li family took it all in one day.

No one from the Li family was willing to stay for dinner when Uncle Zhao asked, and Li Laosan didn't forget to give his instructions.

“Uncle, I think your roof is old. I’m afraid it’s leaking. After the autumn harvest, I’ll help you repair it.”

 Uncle Zhao had no time to say anything more, and the Li family all went back.

Just like that, in the next few days, the eight young and old men of the Li family took turns helping people in the village collect land.

Most of these families are retired soldiers, and their fields are provided by the county.

Two acres of one person, tax and food are half of ordinary farmers, which is considered to be taken care of by the court.

 They don’t have any spare money to buy more. They only need to pay the tax every year to have enough food and clothing.

 The eight members of the Li family work neatly and live as a family every day, and they have good tempers.

 Every house in Qingshui Village is lively, and everyone in Qingshui Village will praise it.

“No wonder the Li family is full of children and grandchildren, and their life is so prosperous. They are all kind-hearted people, and they are all people with great blessings!”

 The old lady in the village was sitting in a place chatting, and when she mentioned the Li family, she gave a thumbs up.
