Chapter 38 Relatives’ concern

The villagers left in great numbers and came back with joy and joy. The people who stayed in the village had been waiting for a long time. When they saw that their family members were finally back, they hurriedly greeted them and asked about the situation.

"They're all sold! One penny and two pounds, that's right!"

"Yes, yes! It can really sell for money!"

Everyone on the left and right made money from the sale, and everyone who went to sell it together knew who sold it and how much it sold. Therefore, there was no need to hide it, and some who were excited even sold it at the entrance of the village. I told my family: "Our three hundred kilograms of kudzu root were sold for one hundred and fifty cents!"

"Our two hundred catties were sold for one hundred cents!"

"Iron pillars sold the most! His family dug 600 kilograms and sold them for three coins!"

All the villagers were overjoyed and cheered, as if they were celebrating the New Year.

The commotion suddenly became quiet. Someone rolled their eyes, quietly rubbed oil on their soles, and then passed them on one by one, and they all started running towards the village.

What are you running for? I must hurry up the mountain and dig kudzu!

It cost so much to sell it, I’d be sorry for myself if I delayed it for a while longer!
Everyone was busy digging up kudzu roots and selling them for money, but no one noticed that there was one family in the village who did not go to the market to sell kudzu roots together today.

Of course, this "no one" does not include Mr. Li.

In the morning, he didn't pay that much attention. He just thought that Brother Yu or someone else had gone to the second brother's house. But when he came back this time, everyone was crowded at the entrance of the village. He looked left and right and realized that his second wife's children and grandchildren He didn't even look at any of them, they weren't even here!
Everyone rushed up the mountain, and Father Li ran very fast with his arms and legs. He arrived at the east end of the village. There were three homesteads next to each other. The first one was still busy with work. The other two places, It was so cold that not a single person was seen.

Father Li sighed at first, but then he felt a little relieved when he thought that the kudzu roots dug by the second and third sons in the past three days had been sold for two taels of silver and the other for two and a half taels of silver.

Then he went straight to the homestead of Lao Er's house and found Li Jihe who was busy. "Lao Er, come with me."

After calling his son aside, Father Li hurriedly asked, "Jihe, why didn't you go sell kudzu? The three of them have been digging pomegranates in the mountains these days, and there are also some that were dug before. They weigh several hundred kilograms, right?" Why not sell it? We have sold so much kudzu root today, maybe in two days the herbal medicine dealer will have enough and stop taking it, which will be a disaster for our family!"

"That's right, you are busy building a house, so you can't take your hands free. Let's do this. You tie up the kudzu roots. I will go to the village to borrow a cart and ask Brother Yu to come with me. Then we will sell them on the market. go!"

Li Jihe saw that his father came out of breath because he cared about him. He thought that he had no time to sell kudzu and wanted to help him sell it himself. He was very moved.

How could he ask his father to help sell it? If his brothers knew about it, they wouldn't be able to talk about him?
But he didn't know how to tell his father the truth. After all, the less people knew about his daughter's dream about the God of Wealth, the better.

"Dad, don't panic, I'm thinking of digging for a few more days and making time to deliver it in one trip! Pomegranate made an agreement with the druggist to accept whatever she sends, no matter when! Don't worry! "

Seeing his father's concerned look on his face, but he was about to lie, Li Jihe felt as if there was phlegm stuck in his throat and felt very uncomfortable.

When Father Li heard this, his worries immediately disappeared and he laughed, "That's good! That's good! Then dig more and sell them! This pomegranate kid is a good boy!"

He really felt that way. In the past, when the whole family was together and there were so many grandchildren, how could he pay so much attention to them all?

Looking at it from the side, this child went to the mountain to dig kudzu roots as soon as the sky came out, and he dug a lot of them, but he was really not capable of anything!
The second son and daughter are both hard-working and blessed, so he is also happy for him!

"Okay, while you are busy, dad will go back and won't delay you."——

There were people all over the mountains and fields looking for kudzu vines. Pomegranate took Li Rongyu and Li Rongyu up the mountain early in the morning. After searching for a long time, they finally found it, so they dug up this one and found it again. It took a long time, but I didn't find it again.

When the villagers came up the mountain in droves, it became even harder to see the kudzu vine.

After crossing another hillside, Pomegranate's sharp eyes saw a cluster of kudzu vines at the bottom of the slope, and he hurriedly ran towards that end.

But just as he was about to run, several people rushed out from the diagonal stab.

"We saw it first!" Li Rongyu's legs were quick and he jumped onto the kudzu vine first.

The man who rushed up was stunned and went to lift him up without thinking.

Although Li Rongyu was not willing to give in, Shiliu and Li Rongzhang also rushed forward to help protect him, but three and a half-year-old children were no match for a few people.

While Chen Qicai was pulling Li Rongyu, he didn't forget to glare at Pomegranate, "If your family hadn't made the whole village aware of the kudzu incident, there would be a lot of kudzu on this mountain! How could we have gone to such trouble?"

The pomegranate was grabbed by Chen Qicai's daughter-in-law, but she refused to give in. "Uncle Lame, you carried away my half of the kudzu root, right? I can dig it, Uncle Lame, and you can dig it too. Why can't the villagers dig it?"

"I won't tell you so much! This kudzu root belongs to me! You brothers and sisters, hurry up, let's go!" Chen Qicai said, and with a strong force, he picked up Li Rongyu and threw him aside.

Li Rongyu was thrown onto his back. He didn't care about the pain in his buttocks. He got up and jumped up again, but was pushed away by Chen Qicai's eldest son.

Seeing that this kudzu bush was about to be occupied by the Chen family, at this moment, a few more people came up from behind, "What's going on? Brother Yu? Pomegranate?"

Li Rongyu turned around and saw that it was his third uncle and the others who came, and hurriedly said: "Third uncle! This is the kudzu that Shiliu saw first. I got it first, but the Chen family insisted on grabbing it from us! We can't grab it from them!"

When Li Jifu heard that the Chen family dared to bully his nephews and nieces, he lost his temper. He puffed up his chest and rushed over, "Cripple Chen, what are you doing! See, my nephews and nieces don't have an adult to bully? How can I, the third uncle, do this?" Here! Believe it or not, if I shout, everyone in our clan will come? And you beat my nephew? See if I don’t beat you!"

After saying that, he gave Chen Qicai a slap on the chest.

Chen Qicai was smaller and smaller, and was no match for Li Jifu. He was smacked and was furious, but he didn't think of fighting back. After all, the Li family was a wealthy family in the village, and the Chen family was a foreigner. If they really got into trouble, they would suffer. It's also their home.

Although he was unwilling to accept the Kudzu that he finally saw, Chen Qicai could only take his family and leave in despair.

When Li Jifu saw them leaving, he turned to look at Li Rongyu and Shiliu and said, "It's okay. You can dig up this kudzu root!"

But Huang on the side rolled his eyes. There were increasingly no kudzu roots in the mountains. They wandered around for a long time and couldn't find one. It was not easy to find one - if it hadn't been for their help, they would have been killed long ago. The Chen family was robbed!
Mr. Huang hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother Yu, your third uncle and I will help you dig the pomegranates! What if that cripple Chen comes back to grab them again!"

Listening to these words, how could Shiliu not understand the little thoughts of the third aunt? That’s all, it’s just a matter of ten or twenty kilograms. If the Chen family robbed her, she would be really angry. It’s better to break it up. To Third Uncle.
