Chapter 26

After abandoning Li Ruying that day, Li Wanqing never saw him coming to the door again, so she exposed the matter and devoted herself to pickling the longevity fruit.

On the second day after Li Wanqing invited people, he had already picked [-] catties of longevity fruits. Because the big tile jars were not enough, the father and daughter borrowed an ox cart and went to the town to buy five of each. Come back with a big clay vat of one hundred catties.

Li Wanqing raced against time, and it only took two days to pickle all the longevity fruits. Today is a rare free time. Li Wanqing slept in. At this time, she just finished her breakfast and sat under the banyan tree in the yard, squinting her eyes Enjoying the cool, reminiscing about the gossip news I heard these days.

On the morning of the eighth day of the eighth day, she didn't get up early, so Li Rulin went to pick up Ji Fang. I heard that there were seven families selling green vegetables that day, and some earned [-] wen, some made [-] wen, and some could earn less. It's twenty cents, and everyone was very happy to get the money, so they actively poured vegetables that day, because the fields were all planted with crops, and there were only so many lands for growing vegetables. If you want to cultivate, you can only wait for the rice to be harvested. The land can be planted.

I heard that it will be her second uncle's family's turn to sell vegetables tomorrow morning. Well, it's good if they have the money to collect them, so that they won't forget about their workshop anymore.

It is said that ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Li Wanqing's good wishes did not last for a few minutes, when she saw Aunt Zhou who lived next door to her grandmother ran over: "Shui Rou, Shui Rou, are you at home?"

"Aunt Zhou, my parents have gone to the fields." Li Wanqing got up and replied.

"Xiaoqing, go to the field and call your parents back. Your grandma and your second aunt are fighting." Aunt Zhou said anxiously.

"What?" Li Wanqing thought she had heard wrong.

"I said your grandma was fighting with your second aunt." Aunt Zhou said again.

"Where is my second uncle?"

"Your second uncle has gone out."

Such a coincidence?Li Wanqing had no doubts.

"Aunt Zhou, thank you, I'll go and tell my parents right now."

"Okay, let your parents hurry over."

"it is good."

Li Wanqing asked Li Muchen to watch over her at home, so she leisurely went to find her parents who had fallen to the ground.

"Father, mother, my second aunt and my grandma are fighting." Although Li Wanqing walked slowly, when she reached the two acres of dry land of her family, she was also sweating profusely.

"Qing'er, don't talk nonsense." As soon as Li Wanqing finished speaking, Lin Shuirou threw away the hoe in her hand in fright, ran over to cover Li Wanqing's mouth, and looked around nervously.

Li Wanqing pulled Lin Shuirou's hand away and said jokingly: "Mother, it was Aunt Zhou who came home and told me that my second uncle had gone out, let me tell you."

Lin Shuirou was stunned for a while, then went back to pick up the hoe thrown on the ground and continued weeding.

"Mother, don't you want to persuade the fight?" Lin Shuirou was so calm, Li Wanqing couldn't help being curious, her mother is a good person, her second aunt and grandma were fighting, she was still so calm, it was really abnormal, very abnormal.

Stopping what she was doing, Lin Shuirou looked at Li Rulin.

"Let's wait for your second uncle to come back to deal with this matter." Li Rulin said to Li Wanqing with a flash in his eyes.

Li Wanqing was really surprised this time: "Father, you're not going either?"

"No, your second uncle will take care of it when he returns. There are so many weeds in the field. If you don't hurry up, you may not be able to keep up with the next season's crops."

Seeing that Li Rulin really continued to weed after finishing speaking, Li Wanqing couldn't say anything more.

The relationship between her mother and her grandma was not good in the first place, and her mother might be wronged if she went. Li Wanqing was one hundred percent in favor of Lin Shuirou not participating.

But the good father is her grandma's own son, and it would be unreasonable if he didn't go, but this matter has nothing to do with their family anyway, so she just went to watch the fun, to be honest, she really didn't see a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Fight things.

After returning to the village, Li Wanqing went directly to the old house, and saw that the courtyard gate of the old house was full of people, only Aunt Zhou looked anxiously at her.

"Xiaoqing, why are you the only one, where are your parents?" Aunt Zhou asked anxiously when she saw that Li Wanqing was the only one coming.

"Aunt Zhou, my parents have gone up the mountain." Li Wanqing said with downcast eyes.

"So you haven't found your parents?"

"Well, the mountain is so big, I don't know where to find it."

"Your grandma and your second aunt are still fighting, and I'm an outsider, alas, how difficult is this?" Aunt Zhou was in a dilemma.

It was true that the fight was still going on, and she could hear her grandma and her second aunt scolding each other, the scolding words were something that she, who had lived two lives, had never heard before, and it was very hard to say.

"Aunt Zhou, please go to the village chief's house again and ask the village chief's grandpa to come over. You can't let my second aunt and my grandma fight like this. My second aunt is young and in good shape, but my grandma is getting old no matter what. I don’t need to be beaten.” Li Wanqing had an idea and thought of Li Changcai, the village head. Since her second uncle was not at home and her parents didn’t want to talk to her, and she respected the elderly, she could only ask the village head to stop them. up.

"Okay, I'll go now, you—forget it, you wait here for my return." Aunt Zhou wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, she just asked Li Wanqing to wait for her here, and then asked the village head run away.

After Li Wanqing turned around and walked to the crowd, he could clearly hear the scolding inside: "You black-hearted rotten waste, our old Li family has raised you for so many years, you ungrateful white-eyed wolf, dare to hit me, see if I don't kill you today .”

Her grandma is still full of anger, it seems that her second aunt didn't take advantage of it.

"You old man, I gave birth to your old Li's family with a big fat son, and the ancestors offered him every day. I don't eat and drink for nothing. You old man, what else can you do besides scolding people? It's useless It's an old thing." Her second aunt is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. If her mother had half as much skill as her second aunt, she wouldn't be bullied so badly by her grandma, and she wouldn't have to go to the village chief grandpa to show her face.

"You bastard, you lazy bastard, you haven't worked a day's work since you married into my old Li's house, you still have to pay attention to you now."

It's a pity that Li Wanqing didn't go in to see the research environment, but hearing the two scolding each other and the crowd watching so enthusiastically, the situation inside must be very exciting.

"That's not what you did, what right do you have to say about me, you old godly woman who disrespects the old."
