On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 201 I, Li Shiyue, am the most reasonable person.

Li Shiyue turned around and grabbed Mother Li's hand. She slowly said to her, "Mother, how could I be the kind of person who only knows how to beat and kill without knowing the severity of the situation?

I just went over there to talk reason with them.

How could I kill someone in broad daylight?
Mother," Li Shiyue said to Li's mother, while looking up at Zheng Meiniang who was also looking at her anxiously from behind Li's mother, and explained, "And aunt, if you are worried, just come with us.

I, Li Shiyue, am the most reasonable person.

If you ask me, there is no one in our village who is more reasonable than me."

Everyone present, even Yan Jiuniang, who had known Li Shiyue the shortest time, almost rolled her eyes when she heard what Li Shiyue said.

Yan Jiuniang couldn't help but complain in her heart: "How can anyone believe what she said?"

But since Li Shiyue said so, what else can Li's mother say?

Finally, Li's mother, Zheng Meiniang and Yan Jiuniang followed Li Shiyue and the others out of the yard.

Li Shiyue did not go to the village entrance first, but went to the paper mill instead.

As soon as she entered the paper mill, Li Shiliang (Gou Lao San), who was enjoying the cool under the eaves at the door, stood up suddenly.

“October! You’re here.

Everyone is not here. They are all enjoying the cool air in the warehouse at the back.

Don't worry, there is no paper in the warehouse. You were allowed to take the last batch of paper away, and the batch that is drying has not yet been put into the warehouse."

Li Shiyue nodded to Li Shiliang, and then said, "Third brother, call all the men in our village over here, and call the people in the kiln over there, including the men over there, including those in Li Youfu's kiln."

Before Li Shiyue finished speaking, a man ran out from behind the paper mill.

"October?
October! You’re back! "

"Brother Mazi, that's great. Brother Mazi, gather all the men in our village who are watching the house construction at the entrance of the village and wait for me at the entrance of the village."

Ma Zi was stunned for a moment, but only for a moment. Then he responded and ran out.

"Third brother?"

"Hey, I'll go right away!"

Li Shiliang shouted twice toward the back of the paper mill, then left the paper mill and headed towards Dahei Mountain.

On the other side was the kiln that Mole and his men had built specifically for baking wood after listening to Li Shiyue's advice.

It's hot now, so they can't roast wood, but they also listened to Li Shiyue's advice and are experimenting with how to burn charcoal. If the experiment is successful, selling charcoal in winter can also be a good and decent business.

Therefore, the kiln is a bit far away from the village, and there are several dogs there.

After all, it is a business that can make money, so we have to prevent outsiders from knowing about it.

Li Shiyue took Li's mother and the others to the back of the paper mill, where they met Zhao Min and the other women. Li's mother and the others sat down with them and talked.

Zhao Min was a straightforward person. She asked Li's mother quietly what was wrong and why she came here when it was so hot.

Li's mother did not hide anything from others and told the story of Zhou Lanhua and Zheng Meiniang being raped by the man who was doing forced labor.

Zhao Min clapped her hands, took Mother Li's hand and whispered, "That's right. Sanlang told me a few days ago that I don't need to wash the clothes at home. He can just go to the river to wash them every morning and evening."

The two women sitting behind Zhao Min, one was Yangzi's cousin, and the other was Erdan's mother. When they heard what Li's mother and Zhao Min were saying, they looked a little surprised. They looked at each other, lowered their heads, and talked together.

After waiting for two quarters of an hour, Li Shiliang finally came back.

He reported to Li Shiyue panting: "Shiyue, I called everyone over. They are right behind us, rushing here."

Li Shiyue nodded and handed the big bowl of tea on the table to Li Shiliang.

"Thank you for your hard work, Third Brother."

Li Shiliang took the big bowl of tea and drank the whole bowl. He waved his hand and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand to wipe off the water stains. Then he looked up at Li Shiyue and asked, "Shiyue, what do you want to do? Tell me."

Li Shiyue smiled and said to Li Shiliang, "Third brother, grab your weapons and let's go and talk things out."

So, Li Shiyue walked in the front, behind her on the left were Li Qiutian, Li Xiatian and Yan Jiuniang, on the right were Li Shiliang and Mole and others, and behind them were more than thirty men.

Walking at the end were Li's mother, Zheng Meiniang, Zhao Min and a few other women.

In fact, the Li family members had no shortage of weapons while fleeing from famine. Although there were not many large items, there were still quite a few long and short swords and axes.

However, this time when they went back to reason, Li Shiyue only asked the men to take wooden sticks, the same thick wooden sticks used to stir the pulp in the paper mill.

This wooden stick is not short, about four or five feet long, and is specially used to stir paper pulp in a ground vat.

So, such a large group of people heading towards the village entrance would still make quite a noise.

At least Jiang Huai, who was in the school not far above the paper mill, saw it.

Jiang Huai glanced at the children who were sleeping soundly on the tables in the classroom, then hurried out towards Li Shiyue.

He was shouting Li Shiyue's name while running, which forced Li Shiyue to stop and wait for him to catch up.

"Madam Li, what are you doing?"

"Mr. Jiang, it's nothing, I just went there to reason."

How could Jiang Huai believe what Li Shiyue said?

Anyone who sees the attitude of Li Shiyue and the others will know that this is definitely not a simple matter of "reasoning".

Who wants to reason with twenty or thirty men holding sticks?

It was also said that the hatchet on Li Shiyue's waist was as long as an adult's forearm, and Li Xiatian was carrying a longbow on his back!
Just like that, who can think that they are being reasonable?
Jiang Huai was choked by Li Shiyue's words. He could only watch Li Shiyue bow to him and then lead these old people to the village entrance in front.

At this time, Ma Zi had gathered about twenty men at the entrance of the village and were waiting.

Among these nearly twenty men, there were not only Li Shiyue's own people, such as Yangzi's cousin's uncle;

Here also were the eldest and youngest sons of my eighth great-uncle. They had built houses at the entrance of the village together with the people of Sunjiayao and Zhaoyoujia.
Since Li Shiyang had brought them together and Li Youfu and his men had bowed their heads, things in Liujiatun were apparently going very well.
Of course, among these twenty people, there are a few men who are members of the Wang family. These men are related to Wang Shisan. With the good relationship between Wang Shisan and Li Shiyue, these Wang family members are closer to the people in Lijia Village, and they are called upon to do any work together.

When building a house, one would inevitably have hoes, shoulder poles, hatchets and other tools placed aside, ready to be used at any time.

Ma Zi came over and greeted them. At first they thought something was wrong. But when they heard Ma Zi say that Li Shiyue had sent an order to gather them together, they hurriedly picked up axes and knives, and some picked up sticks.

So, when Li Shiyue and his companions arrived at the entrance of the village, Ma Zi had already led his men, armed with knives and sticks, to confront dozens of men who were doing corvee labor.
