On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

(Thanks to rcmamahong for voting 2 monthly tickets.)
There was only a dim oil lamp in the room, emitting a little light. Li Youfu looked at the words written on Li Shiyang's reply letter to him: "Grandpa can't force Li Shiyue to bow her head like he does to other little girls. How many little girls in the world dare to reach out and kill someone?
If Grandpa continues like this, he will push Li Shiyue to the opposite side of us, and the Li family will be in danger. "

Li Youfu knew that what Li Shiyang said was right. Li Shiyue was not an ordinary little girl. She dared to kill people!

But how could Li Youfu, who had long been accustomed to having the final say in the Li family and had been the patriarch of the Li family for nearly 30 years, be someone who was willing to bow his head?

Let a little girl who is only about ten years old climb on top of your head?

Li Youfu is unwilling to admit his old age and powerlessness, but the reality is like this, what can he do?
Could he kill Li Shiyue?
How could it be possible that Li Youfu was the only one in Liujiatun who was thinking about Li Shiyue?

Li Wangjin, the eldest son of my eighth great uncle, couldn't fall asleep after hearing the sound of rain outside the window. He reached out and pushed the woman next to him. The woman closed her eyes and uttered "hmm" in a daze.

Li Wangjin pushed her again, and the woman, Li Wangjin's wife Wang Xiangxing, had to open her eyes. With a hint of impatience as if her sweet dream had been disturbed, she whispered, "What are you doing? What? Why? If you don't sleep, I still want to sleep!"

Seeing his wife wake up, Li Wangjin turned over and spoke to Wang Xiangxing's ear: "Tell me, where did Wangshui and his men get the plow and the tools they use to plant seeds?
How come their thing works so well that they can finish all the work in just a few days?

That’s not all. Did you see the wasteland they reclaimed at the foot of the mountain on the other side of the river?

Xing'er, you need ten acres of land!
Ten acres of land!"

Speaking of this, Wang Xiangxing, who couldn't sleep anymore, became alert. She half sat up, took clothes from the head of the kang, put them on, and started talking to Li Wangjin.

"Of course, that good thing must have been obtained from somewhere by October!

It's all your father's fault. If he hadn't wanted to use Qiao to make October bow down, maybe we could have benefited from it and used that good thing!"

When it comes to farming, Wang Xiangxing has endless things to say.

“Also, it’s time for us to learn from others and buy a donkey.

Look at other people, they have donkeys, horses, mules and even horses to use, but what about us? Your father uses you like a donkey!
October is a capable person. Do we need to differentiate between men and women who are capable?
Why is your father so ungrateful?
Have you forgotten that we encountered refugees and Japanese pirates on our way to escape famine?

If it wasn’t October, our clan wouldn’t have known about it.”

Li Wangjin covered Wang Xiangxing's mouth with his hand. She became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and her voice became louder and louder.

"Please keep your voice down, don't wake the baby."

Wang Xiangxing turned around and glanced at the baby sleeping beside her. Seeing that the baby was sleeping soundly, she turned around and gave Li Wangjin a cold look.

"Come on, I think you're afraid your father will hear what I say!"

The couple lay down again and started talking in each other's ears under the quilt.

Li Wangjin knew very well that his wife was right. Li Shiyue was no ordinary girl. Half of his father's finger had been chopped off!
If Li Wangjin were to tell it, Li Shiyue is more powerful than any other man.

No matter what the households in Liujiatun think, they have to act according to the will of heaven.

The heavy rain really lasted all night. Li Shiyue got up early and went out of the house. He looked at the sky outside. It was still gray and he didn't know if it would rain again today.

Last night, because of the rain, Li Shiyue and Shitou were forced to drink a bowl of bitter medicine soup by Li's mother, and they were specially asked to cover themselves with a quilt to prevent sweating. This made Li Shiyue feel so hot that he always felt wet all over, and finally fell asleep in a daze in the middle of the night.

It should be said that the system's products are good. In fact, ever since Li Shiyue gave everyone in the family water to drink in order to save Li Wangming, no one in the family has been sick since then!

None of the medicine packs bought by Li's mother had a chance to be used. The one yesterday was the first time it was used.

As a result, by the time Li Shiyue had finished breakfast, the sky had begun to clear up, and by noon, it was completely sunny.

After being exposed to the sun this morning, the accumulated water in the Li family's yard has dried up a lot.

Li Shiyue originally wanted to go to the mountain with Li Qiutian and the others, but he had been too busy these days and hadn't been to the mountain for some time.

But just as she took out the hatchet and put the basket on her back, she heard a noise coming from a distance, and several footsteps. Someone was coming.

She walked to the door holding the hatchet and looked ahead, and saw Granny Liu, Xiao Lizi and two other people coming towards her house.

She only took a glance and saw clearly that it was Zhao Youcai from the Zhao You family and an unfamiliar young man who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old who came to visit.

When they got closer, Li Shiyue touched Xiao Lizi's hair, called Li's mother, and welcomed the others in. Aunt Liu led the way and wanted to take Xiao Lizi back, but Xiao Lizi looked at the puppies of the Li family and didn't want to leave.

"Grandma, please stay and talk to my mother. She wants to ask you about what happened at the Qingsong Town market."

Turning around, Li Shiyue bowed to Zhao Youcai and the unfamiliar young man, and the two quickly returned the greeting.

Zhao Youcai said to Li Shiyue with a little nervousness: "I met Xiaofu on the road. It was a coincidence that I came to see you and he did too, so we came together."

The two were invited to sit in the main hall. Li Qiutian served them tea, and then Zhao Youcai and Sun Xiaofu from Sunjiayao told them the reasons for their visit.

Zhao Youcai came to ask Li Shiyue and the others why they needed to build a house. The spring plowing was over and everyone had some free time, so they wanted to earn some money.

As for Sun Xiaofu, it was the batch of bricks that Li Shiyue ordered from Sunjia Kiln. Sun Daqiang sent Sun Xiaofu over to ask them when to let them deliver it?
Li Shiyue calculated the date and agreed upon a time with the two of them. Before sending them out, Li's mother took the initiative to give two pancakes to each of them.

How could the two of them feel comfortable taking it? After all, they just came to ask a question, but they came empty-handed.

Li Shiyue had already led the donkey out. She said to the two of them, "Don't be polite. Take some to eat on the way. It's not easy for you to come all the way here.

I'm just going to town to do some shopping. Come, I'll take you back together.

I won't let you guys stay at home for dinner this time. There will be plenty of opportunities when you work later, and you must stay at home for dinner then."

Zhao Youcai was still able to remain reserved, but Sun Xiaofu became happy. He smiled, bowed to Li's mother, and took the cake that Li's mother gave him.

He was exhausted after walking all the way here. Liujiatun was too far away from their Sunjiayao.

"Come on, get in the car."

Shitou and Li Shiyue drove the cart together, with Zhao Youcai and Sun Xiaofu also sitting in the cart. The four of them drove out of the village in the spring breeze. (End of this chapter)
