Fertile land

Chapter 25

"Jia Bao, mother, go away, and don't come back after you leave!"

The door to the second room opened with a creak.

This battle disrupted their thoughts...

Mrs. Chen was sobbing, with a bundle hanging on her arm and dragging a baby with one hand, her eyes and nose were red...

I don’t know what kind of grievances I have suffered, and there are actually scratches on my face...

Li Lei knew he was furious just by the sound of his voice!

When Lao Litou and Mrs. Zhou saw this situation, they understood what was going on, and a trace of pride flashed in each other's eyes.

Haha, there is finally a standing one in this house...

Chen Shili ignored what Li Lei said and walked away...

"Jia Bao's mother..."

Heartbreaking...

"Please, don't go. If you want to go, take me with you."

"Get out! Li, who wants to take you?"

"Mom...Jia Yong hasn't had enough fun yet!"

"Mom, the house in the town is too small, I also want to play in the country!"

"What are you playing for? Isn't the town fun?"

"Apart from a small shabby house, corn crumbs, and endless work, what else is there in this house..."

"The double robbery is over. If we don't leave, will we stay and be bullied to death by your family?"

"She, Zhou Hanjuan and her two gangs worked together to beat me. It's okay if you don't protect me. If you come back, they'll beat me indiscriminately!"

"I don't owe you anything! If you think about it, who have you relied on for food and drink all these years?"

Li Lei didn't care, Lao Li's head and face turned blue and white, and the night changed. He really wanted to cover her mouth...

"The worst is to be divorced. I came back with good intentions to help your family cut wheat and do farm work and housework, but I can't even eat."

"The baby will also be hungry. Let's go with our family and our treasures. We will never come back again. Your grandma and grandpa eat rice, porridge, eggs, and meat every day. It's not like they can't feed us."

"If you think we are wasting food rations, why don't we just eat corn crumbs? This is just what your old Li family wishes."

"No, I was wrong. You can hit me no matter what, Jiabao!"

Li Lei ran forward to stop them...

"Hit you? I feel guilty about dirtying my hands when I hit you. You go and avenge me. If anyone hits me, go and hit me back!"

Li Lei glanced at Xiao Zhou and Li Daqiang coldly!

Li Daqiang was embarrassed and kept explaining: "Second brother, the misunderstanding is not what you think!"

"Hmph! Think about it, don't even think about it, she is my wife, you are a country farmer, what are you thinking about?"

Little Zhou rolled around again and started howling...

Li Lei threatened,
"Remember, let's leave the conversation here today. Whoever beats my wife, I won't play with!"

Seeing his posture, Luo Zhi'er thought he was going to have a fight, but she didn't expect that he only used his mouth but not his hands...

Li Zheng, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Li and the others secretly looked at each other, why is this another big drama?
Then Li Lei beat Chen?

Or is there something else?

But when Li Lei came closer, his image was so terrifying...

It was much more miserable than Chen's. Her long hair was spread out, and there seemed to be a few bare patches on the top of her head.

That face in particular is so shocking that it sends chills down your spine...

The bloody mouth on the face is not like that of Xiao Zhou or Chen. The marks on the face are blood grooves.

There are blood grooves all over the face, and a blood groove is sunk under the eyes. I wonder if there are any areas on the neck or the body covered by clothes?

The clothes I wear in the summer are thin, and the exposed flesh is bruised and purple, as if it has been pulled... Some clothes are stained with tiny bits of blood on the fabric...

If you look closely, there are fingernail marks on the skin, and the marks are bloody and fleshy...

The clothes were torn and only a few pieces of cloth were left on the body...

When the two uncles saw Chen's long and pointed fingernails, their cloudy eyes shrank, their scalps went numb, and they were frightened...

How much pain does this baby have?

Li Depei muttered to himself, and even the cigarette smoke fell to the ground, "Damn, you are crazy, crazy! This is against heaven, against heaven!"

He regretted it so much. If he had known that it was his Lei baby who was being beaten, he would have run into the house to stop it no matter what.

Zhou wailed a few times and rushed forward to fight Chen.

She might be more disappointed than distressed. Li Lei was not only the one who was beaten, but he also had the shamelessness to beg for a beating...

"Chen, you little hooves seeking death, how dare you scratch Lei Wa?"

His head hit her, but before he hit anyone, he was pushed away by her second son, Li Lei.

A dog gnawed on the mud and fell into the dung pile next to the garden...

This was specially reserved for burying in the ground...and it was done all over...

It's basically pig shit, it smells very...

It was unlucky for a person to have water stuck between his teeth, and when he was thrashing about, he bumped into the urine bucket next to him.

There are several little kids inside who get up at night to urinate. She usually doesn’t want to go to the toilet...

Thinking about keeping the vegetables in the garden...

Don't pour it all over from head to toe, mainly on the head...

Rubbing his eyes,
"Oh my God, I... Pah, what the hell did Zhou Meizhen do to meet these bad guys!"

Li Lei looked at her coldly,
"Mom, we don't need you to interfere with our second wife's affairs."

"What?" Ms. Zhou was stunned, shocked and at a loss. Her butt and hands hurt, all of which were drowned out by his words...

Do you think she's being nosy?

jumped up,

"Are you having a hard time with your wings? Are you trying to show off with Mom? You are really a white-eyed wolf. Mom is doing this for your own good, but you haven't gotten the money yet?"

Li Lei was stunned and his eyes flashed...

Chen's stepped foot retracted...

"Mom, that's not what I meant. I know what's going on with Jiabao's mother."

"How can you say that I, Li Lei, am also the head of the second family?"

"Even if you are the head of a family, you have to look like the head of the family. I deserve this injury. Jiabao's mother is weak, so don't embarrass her..."

Zhou felt a little more comfortable, but she didn't feel comfortable for some reason.

She feels particularly uncomfortable now. Well, she believes that Lei Wa is independent...

In addition, this Chen family is different from Luo Zhi'er and Xiao Zhou family.

Not only do they have their natal family, but their natal family also values ​​them, otherwise who would be willing to help them raise their children and work for their second child...

The second brother also pays her eighty cents every month, and it is said that the remaining twenty cents are left as food rations for their family...

But, that's it, her old Li family's seed is just like his Chen family's...

He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhenzhu, who stood beside him and was so frightened that he was at a loss. "Damn girl, come here and help me!"

"Ah, mother, I, I have a stomachache. Let's go to the toilet first. You wait..."

"Hey, you..."

The person has disappeared...

I had to get up by myself...

Old Li Tou felt unhappy. Lei Wa had red lips and white teeth. He was the head of the family. Where would he be placed as the head of the family?

Those of you who weren’t planning to drink tea, now you look at me and I look at you!

All four adults in the first and second rooms were injured...

"Leiwa, what's going on with you?"

The chief asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

"Haha, uncle, it's okay, I'm having a little fight with my wife, and my wife is having fun with me!"

kidding?
A small fight can lead to this...

This Mr. Chen is really too ruthless!
Forget it, he's protecting his wife, so there's no point in getting to the bottom of it.

Now that they are here, they plan to sit down and have a sip of tea and deal with it before leaving!

All the people in the Li family gathered in the courtyard, and a table and bench were brought up. When the tea was served, Li Zhengxin and others sat down.

More and more people gathered outside the courtyard. Seeing their embarrassment, they all whispered and whispered to each other.

Mrs. Zhou scolded someone in the yard, "It's late at night. If you don't go home to sleep, what's the point of coming to my house to see the excitement?"

"Have you never seen the world?"

Some people outside were spitting, and some were mumbling, "Do you care?" It was quite noisy...

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet for a while. This is just some housework for Lao Li's family. If you want to watch, just be quiet."

"Uh... Li Zheng, can you keep them out of this matter?" Lao Li looked around the yard...

"Depei, you are out of sight. People from this village are worried about your family's situation. It's okay. I've asked them to be quiet..."

"I'm afraid they will spread rumors..."

"You are worrying too much. Rumors will only be disproven when you see them with your own eyes. If you don't let them see it tonight, it will be rumored tomorrow..."

"Uh... okay."

Then a few sharp eyes were locked on little Zhou:

"Daqiang's wife, tell yourself, why did they beat you today?"

"Although we say we make the decision for you, if you lie, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in Zhaoli Village any longer. You can go back wherever you want!"

Little Zhou shivered and was a little scared!
Back?Where can she go back?

Mrs. Zhou calmed down and stamped her feet, "You bitch who has been struck by lightning, my old Li family treats you very well. If you dare to talk nonsense, be careful I tear your mouth open!"

Li Zhengxin raised his eyes and glanced at her, then stopped eating immediately.

This little Zhou family and Chen family have been here for many years, and in their impression, they are not so innocent and simple. Today, they have to take their time...

Little Zhou looked at Pearl and took a deep breath.

"Li Zheng, two ancestors, you have also seen that in front of everyone, my mother dared to threaten and scare me. If you were not here, I would have been beaten again..."

Several people nodded secretly, it was indeed the case...

"They didn't let me speak, and there was no way I could survive anyway. I figured it out, and I had to tell the truth..."

"The reason I'm being beaten today is all because of their precious little girl, Pearl!"

Old Li's forehead had veins bulging, and Zhou put her hands on her hips and cursed again:
"Shameless little whore, my pearl didn't drink your blood or eat your flesh. She's so soft when you pinch her persimmon. Why did you bully her? Why don't you die..."

Pearl covered her face and cried bitterly, "Sister-in-law, it's in vain that I always treat you as one of my own, you've gone too far..."

"In front of so many people, I just want to ruin my reputation..."

Li Gui also sat aside and watched their performance expressionlessly!
Just when his mother stood up and cursed, she covered her nose...

Little Zhou didn't say anything about Li Gui. Li Gui is not only the glory of this family, but also the glory of the entire Zhaoli Village. To talk about him is to say that he is small-minded and petty...

"In this family there is her but not me, and there is me but not her."

Several people are curious, how come it has reached this point?

"Is this completely irreconcilable?"

"Li Zheng, you've seen it too. How can a sister-in-law beat her sister-in-law in this world?"

"This matter is indeed Pearl's fault. Don't worry, we will let your father-in-law educate her. If your father-in-law can't do it, we, the elders of Zhaoli Village, will step in. We can't let a piece of mouse droppings ruin our pot of porridge!"

Little Zhou was happy, it really worked, and Old Li Tou suddenly felt powerless...

"Then thank you all, uncles."

"Since I married into the Li family, I, Zhou Hanjuan, have been working hard, giving birth to and raising children, and serving my parents-in-law and husband. I promise to do nothing extraordinary."

"Zhuzhu is not young anymore. She is very lazy all day long. She only comes back after running around a lot. Even her own clothes have to be washed by her third sister-in-law."

"I have to serve the food, but she doesn't think it tastes good! I just say a few words, but she still holds a grudge."

"It's common for me to complain to my mother-in-law and beat and scold me. Today, she wants to tie me up and lock me up in the woodshed. How can there be such a thing..."

"I have pity on my children. How many days can I go into the woodshed without eating or drinking? Will they give my dolls food?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Mu Qingyunliang Liuliu is the son of my old Li family, will we treat them badly?"

"Hmph! The corn is crumbled and mushy every day. It's hard for me to eat when I'm here." I'm gone, it's hard to say..."

Several people took a look at the children who were astonishingly thin. The old man's house was dirty. All three children were skinny, but Liu Liu was the skinniest.

Also, Miao Miao from the third child’s family is cleanly dressed, but thin, while Miaomiao from the second child’s family is fine...

"Is that right?"

Several uncles glanced at the faces of the young wives in other rooms.

Mrs. Chen's eyes showed unshakable expression...

Luo Zhi'er sat obediently on the side with several rings of meat folded around her waist. Miaomiao sat on her lap, while she lowered her head and played with Miaomiao's little finger, naively...

"Sanmao's wife, is that so?"

Uncle Li is fair.

"Li Zuzu, my parents are old and work hard at home. It won't hurt if I wash a few more clothes..."

Uncle Li, Uncle Zhao, and Li Zheng nodded. This fat girl is not bad. It is an honor for the old Li family to have this wife...

Lao Litou wanted to scold her, but she didn't say anything...and she felt quite filial...

Looking at the lively crowd in the courtyard, Sophora japonica also came running over, confused.

Is this Luo Zhi'er the same as the one who just put his arms on his hips and scolded her?
Her words make it clear...

The second son was in town, so he didn’t ask Mrs. Chen at all. In short, no one from the three daughters-in-law refuted...

Besides, everyone has eyes. Luo Zhi'er often washes in the river, carries water, washes vegetables and so on...

Everyone around the house knew that the old Li family often quarreled over cooking and eating...

The fundamental reason is because of pearls...

"It's so outrageous..."

The man named Uncle Zhao slapped the table.
"When my daughter was five or six years old, she was able to cook meals for a large family. She was a good needleworker, and she could do housework easily..."

"Do you really think your pearl is just a pearl? If someone else's daughter marries into your family, she is no longer a human being, but your daughter is a treasure?"

Mrs. Zhou trembled with fright...

Old Li Tou was ashamed and hated Little Zhou for exposing his shame. Why bother talking about this matter behind closed doors in front of outsiders?

This family is not harmonious at all. The family will be twisted into a rope, and the other rooms will not be able to see pearls, right?

If pearls are not good, what good is it to them?
"But, Depei, I see that the farmers at your house are doing well. There will be a bumper wheat harvest this year, so you won't be so frugal with corn crumbs every day, right?"

"The third child is hunting again. There is no shortage of meat and fish. Your family seems to be very prosperous. You adults are just hungry, but the little ones still need to be given some nutrition..."

Li Fuquan said kindly.

"Haha! Uncle, it's not like what she said. Our family sometimes bakes pancakes and fry eggs from time to time."

Old Li Tou defends...

Xiao Zhou and Chen sneered, right?Some of it must have entered the mouth of the baby in someone’s heart!
"Oh, Li Zuzu, I'm surprised too. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this. Where are the things saved?"

Little Zhou said reluctantly...

This is a question that the other rooms want to know.

"You little hooves, didn't I tell you that you eat and drink at home, you are a favor person, you farm the land and buy seeds every year, and your fifth brother studies... Why don't you need money?"

Li Gui is a little uncomfortable, why would his mother tell him...

"Indeed, these all cost money. Boss and daughter-in-law, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when you are not a family member..."

Uncle Zhao is fair.

"I know this, but I feel like we are so frugal that we can't have any money left over and still owe money. I want to see the account books..."

"What kind of account book? Didn't I say I've spent all my money? I'm from a rural area and I don't know how to keep accounts. You, a mother-in-law, know how to cause trouble!"

Zhou jumped.

Everyone also knows that it is impossible for Zhou to get the account books now. She insists that the money has been spent and no one can do anything with her...

"Let's do this. Let's keep track of every expense in the future so that these kids know what they are doing! After all, they are at the age of starting a family and starting a business, and they don't want to be confused..."

In the right way.

"That's easy to say, but I'm illiterate, so it's impossible!"

Zhou's dead pig is not afraid of boiling water...

"In that case, why don't your family find a housekeeper who can read and keep accounts?"

"What? Just dream!"

"What do you say?"

"Why don't you let Depei take note of it, so that in the future, you can have an explanation when you ask me..."

"Ahem...well, okay!"

Old Li Tou agreed, what Zhou wanted to say, and Li Depei gave her a look, please be patient...

After being reassured here, Li Zheng continued,

"You said they beat you, but why did you bite your man?"

"This is a misunderstanding! I might have been a little crazy at the time..."

Li Daqiang was slightly moved and looked at his wife with tears in her eyes. It turned out that her daughter-in-law really didn't mean it...

"Well, let's continue..."

"Li Zheng, this is what I care about the most today. My family Yunliang Muqing has reached the age of studying. Yunliang should have gone there the year before last, but it has been delayed year by year, and Muqing has been delayed for a year."

"My father-in-law said that if the wheat is sold this year, they will be allowed to go to school. But, if the wheat is sold then, will they really be able to go to school?"

"I feel anxious and want my father-in-law to give me a guarantee!"
