The village chief bought a roasted chicken and a jar of strong liquor. They returned to the village and went up the mountain together. I wonder if he wanted to report to his deceased brother.
The young and old of the Li family were all happy when they saw the deed.
Everyone came up to have a look and touch, and then became more and more excited to get into the craze of cleaning their new home.
Mrs. Li and Jiayin lived in the main room, and Jiaren and the brothers lived in the west room.
Then the south room in the east wing was given to Li Lao Er and his wife, and the north room was given to Li Lao San.
The south room in the west wing was given to Li Laosi and Tao Hongying, while the north room was locked up and used as a temporary warehouse.
The two wing rooms are just right for men and women to use as washrooms, where they can also dry their underwear.
To avoid any embarrassment if so many people live together.
The winter here in Kyoto is not very warm, so every room has a heated kang, which makes the Li family even more satisfied.
Li Laoer followed behind his mother and was busy making a list.
Kang mats, new window paper, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, rice, flour, grain and oil, pottery pots and pots, almost all need to be purchased.
Mrs. Li accepted the good news and gave the money to Tao Hongying and Li Yuru. Li Laosi and Jiayi followed and hurried into the city to buy.
Jiayin can't help, so I try not to cause trouble. I pee a few times when I'm hungry, and when I'm really bored, I go to sleep.
Such a well-behaved person made Mrs. Li and her family members even more happy, and everyone who came over would kiss her little face.
The Li family was so busy and noisy, so naturally people in the village heard about it.
Three women came back from the fields and gathered at the entrance of the village to chat.
"I heard from the village chief's wife that someone else has moved into the big yard at the foot of the mountain."
One of the women, who lived next door to the village chief's house, quickly shared her newfound conversational skills with the others.
"Has that yard been bought? How much money did it cost? How brave. Don't they know how Zhang Laokui died?" someone exclaimed.
"I heard it was one hundred taels, and the family handed over the silver without blinking an eye."
The woman gestured excitedly as if she was watching Mrs. Li hand over the silver at the scene.
"This family is really rich. Although the yard is a bit dirty, it is really a good yard. I heard that Zhang Laokui spent more than one hundred taels when he built it. Now it only costs one hundred taels to add ten acres of land. The new You really took advantage of me!"
"Who says otherwise? The village chief said that the family came to our village yesterday to seek refuge with relatives. Their relatives refused to take them in, so they wanted to buy a place to live. I don't know which lard family was deceived. , to be able to turn away such a rich relative."
Liu Tiezhu's wife, who was standing not far away, turned green and red after hearing this, and her intestines turned green with regret.
She turned around and ran to the yard at the foot of the mountain...
The Li family was busy inside, and the bluestone floor was washed with water, making it look fresh.
Liu Tiezhu's wife looked at it for a long time. She was in a daze and didn't even know how she got home.
Mrs. Guo was making a fire and was about to scold her daughter-in-law for being lazy, when she heard that the Li family had bought a yard for one hundred taels.
She immediately jumped up from her chair, "No way, when did the Li
family become so rich!" If they had known this was the case, they should have imprisoned the Li family yesterday. Even if they wanted to drive them away, they had to defraud the money out of them. !
"Go and have a look over there!"
Ms. Guo was unwilling to accept it no matter what she thought. Mrs. Li was the children's aunt. Now that she was prosperous, how could she let her nephew suffer?
She had to take the money from Mrs. Li!
Liu Tiezhu and Liu Laifu also had this intention, and the whole family rushed to the foot of the mountain.
"Oh, eldest sister, you said it was true. You didn't even say a word to us when you left. I asked my daughter-in-law to cook for you this morning, but as soon as I opened the door, you were gone."
As soon as we entered the yard . , Mrs. Guo came up to Mrs. Li, her attitude was many times more enthusiastic than yesterday.
Mrs. Li raised her eyelids and glanced at her, and responded coldly, "Aren't you afraid that we will stay in your house?"
Mrs. Guo was embarrassed, but she still defended shamelessly.
"Eldest sister has misunderstood. You have also seen it. Our family is poor and only has a few houses. Isn't this because I am afraid that eldest sister will dislike me?"
After saying that, she looked at the big courtyard greedily and asked.
"Sister, I heard that you bought this yard? Oh, it's a mess here. Everything needs to be cleaned up immediately. I'll ask Zhu Zhu and the others to help."
Liu Tiezhu and others pretended to roll up their sleeves to help, but in fact they were all focused on the Li family. on the luggage bag.
Just when Li Laosi and Tao Hongying came back from outside, they all looked bad when they saw the Liu family there.
Li Laosi directly chased people away, "We don't need your help, you should leave quickly!"
Liu Laifu didn't like Li Laosi. After hearing his words, the jealousy and unwillingness in his heart suddenly emerged like fire. .
"I just bought a yard, what are you proud of? Let me tell you, our family has lived in this village for more than ten years. If you dare to offend our family, you will definitely not survive in this village!"
Jiayin had just been hugged by Tao Hongying When I got up, I was a little dazed from sleep. Hearing the Liu family's clamor again makes them even more tired.
It was rare for her to burst into tears!
This stirred up a hornet's nest. The Li family threw down their work and rushed over.
"What's wrong with Fu Niu'er? Are you scared?"
"You must be scared. I heard a dog barking just after I woke up!"
Mrs. Li was also very distressed. She was still a little soft-hearted towards the Liu family, but she disappeared immediately. trace.
She hugged her granddaughter and coaxed her, while pointing at the door to chase people away.
"Hurry up and don't come back again. As we said last night, Liu Gen'er is dead and our two families are no longer related."
"Damn old lady, who do you dare to chase!"
Liu Laifu had a bad temper and raised his hand to hit Old Mrs. Li. , Li Laosi pinched his arm.
Liu Laifu screamed in pain, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Ms. Guo wanted to step forward to help her son, but was so frightened by Li Laosi's look that she did not dare to move.
Liu Laifu was so painful that he almost fainted. When he felt as if his arm was broken, Li Laosi suddenly threw him away.
"Get lost! Don't let me see you again!"
The Liu family members hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Laifu and stumbled out.
Jiayin was very relieved and spat at their backs.
It's a pity that she didn't have any strength. The saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth and fell into her neck.
Coincidentally, Mrs. Li and Mr. Li saw this scene and burst out laughing.
"Oh, my Fu Niu'er is so awesome, she even spits!" "Even though Fu Niu'er is young, she can tell the difference between good and bad!"
Everyone laughed and teased Jiayin one after another, making Jiayin blush. .
Mrs. Li waved her hand and told her children and grandchildren.
"Our family has settled down, and there may be good and bad things in the future. But we must be ambitious and work together to live a good life!"
The Li family agreed in unison, "Mom, don't worry, we will work hard."
"Grandma, We should also be obedient."
At sunset, the new home was finally ready for habitation.
Tao Hongying cooked a large pot of porridge, added wild vegetables, and tore up a roast chicken bought in the city. The first meal of her new home was ready.
The whole family sat around, ignoring the disgusting looks of Wu Cuihua and Wu Ergou frantically grabbing the roasted chicken, and they all felt extremely comfortable.
After running for nearly two months, I finally found a home.
Seeing that autumn was about to come, the Li family had no time to express their emotions. They got up early the next morning and started to continue their work.
