Chapter 7 Father Li gets angry
It was getting dark gradually, and the threshing and harvesting teams from each household returned home one after another. With the last ray of skylight, those who took a bath took a bath, and those who did laundry washed their clothes.

The rice leaf stubble and chaff all over my body are gray today. If I don't wash it off properly, I've been tired for a long day. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well tonight.

Father Li, who had been holding his breath for the whole afternoon, waited until his children and grandchildren were all cleaned up before he started to have an attack.

The table was set, don't be too busy eating. A flickering oil lamp was lit in the main room. Father Li sat on one of the only two chairs in the main room with a dark face. The other one was naturally Sitting there was Old Yuan, whose expression was unremarkable.

These two chairs were made by Li Jihe after he took over the furniture job in Shanghe Village opposite. They were not painted, but he polished them smooth and they would not hurt your hands at all.

Although it is not painted, judging from the pomegranate, this log chair is really pretty.

But at this moment, under the dim oil lamp, the white and yellow chair was cold and eerie, which made Father Li sitting on it look a little scary.

In the middle of the hall, children were kneeling on the floor. The three siblings, Li Yangtao, Li Yangmei, and Li Rongtan from the first bedroom, and the two siblings Li Guiyuan and Li Rongfeng from the third bedroom, all had their heads drooped, and they were trembling with fear in their hearts.

Not to mention the children, even Li Jiren and Li Jifu, brothers and sisters-in-law Wu and Huang, who were standing alone after being called out by Father Li, were a little frightened.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my father look so black-faced!

What happened today? They have been in the fields all day and really don’t know.

Fortunately, Father Li spoke and didn't leave them wondering for a long time.

"Today our family has been disgraced to the whole Xiahe Village! I have been completely disgraced by you. How did you raise these children? You have never eaten meat? You are going to fight over a piece of meat." , I don’t know, I thought our family couldn’t eat meat!”

After saying this, everyone understood, oh, it turned out to be a fight over grabbing meat, so it was nothing, right? Which family in the village has many children who have never had a fight?
Mrs. Huang was just breathing a sigh of relief, thinking that it was just for food, it wasn't a big deal, and her father would just get angry and it would be over.

But unexpectedly, what Dad Li said next made her heart skip a beat.

"If it's just about stuttering, that's it. People in the village with many children don't have this problem. It's just a little embarrassing to be seen fighting by the big guys, but!

You know what these two boys were talking about when they were fighting, right? I guess you must know. What does a child know? If you hadn't said it in private, how could he have learned such words? "

"Step-rich! Step-rich daughter-in-law, everyone is here today, so you guys can talk it over. You were not convinced that Brother Tan was chosen by lot to go to the village school, right?"

Li Jifu looked confused, "Ah? What did dad say? Why am I not convinced?"

He was a firecracker and couldn't hide anything. Looking at his expression, Father Li had no doubt that he was there, and then he looked at Mr. Huang.

Mrs. Huang's heart skipped a beat, she was unconvinced. Not only was she unconvinced, but Mrs. Jiang was also unconvinced, and the second sister-in-law was not convinced either. But how could she say this carelessly in front of her parents.

She laughed dryly and said: "What are you talking about, dad? We are all a family, and whoever studies is not studying. Why can my daughter-in-law be dissatisfied? Brother Feng, this kid is greedy. Dad, you should be beaten or scolded." Swear, don’t get angry over this, it’s not worth it if you hurt yourself.”

Father Li sighed, he was hurting his body, he was sad!

How can the third daughter-in-law’s words be true?
He remembered that today, he said Brother Feng was the elder brother, why was he always fighting with his younger brother for food? What was Brother Feng talking about? At that time, he stared at Brother Tang without concealment and said, "What if I snatched some food from him! He wants to study, and he will spend a lot of food in a year! I don't study, and he will waste food. What’s wrong with eating less?”

When Dad Li heard this, he couldn't believe it. Without thinking, he turned around and asked Brother Zhang from the second room and Brother Hua from the fourth room, "Do you also think that Brother Tan spends food on his studies?"

Brother Zhang shook his head, but Brother Hua hesitated, obviously feeling unhappy.

Looking at the two granddaughters, they are also in separate positions.

Subconsciously, he felt a thump in his heart, and then he realized that before he started reading the book, the children at home were already thinking about who is east of the river, east of the river, west of the river, or west of the river? If things continue like this, how can we get better?

But at that time, Sun Laowang was still gloating about his misfortune, saying that if he wanted to send his grandson to study, why not just send it to several grandsons together? How could he let his grandson talk so little if he wanted to send it together?

That sarcastic look was just like he was laughing at him for not being able to provide for his grandson to study, but he was still showing off, overestimating his ability!

The breath that Daddy Li was holding suddenly shot up and down his whole body, causing pain all over his body.

Slap in the face, slap in the face!
At this moment, Mr. Li's eyes swept over the faces of his sons and daughters-in-law. He knew that no matter what he asked, they would not admit what they were thinking. He couldn't help but say: "Who is sent to study is drawn by lot, and I don't make the decision directly." Whoever is determined! If you are not convinced, blame luck. Keep it to me. I will definitely not change this for a child to go to school! If someone in this family is not convinced again, he will make some troubles and make the whole family uneasy. , don’t blame me for being rude!”

This matter has been revealed, and just because of this tone, I have to go to the village school!

Father Li got angry and punished Li Rongfeng and his grandchildren who were fighting today not to eat at night. This matter was considered to be over.

Due to Father Li's anger, Mr. Huang and Mr. Jiang had no choice but to temporarily restrain their mouths and warned the children again.

This overt and covert energy was temporarily suppressed.

At night, Mrs. Wu, who should have slept on the pillow after a tiring day, became more and more aggrieved as she thought about it. She couldn't help but mutter to her husband, "Look at Brother Tan, his face is swollen. He is only six years old. This Why does he always get into trouble again and again? What's his fault?"

"Isn't it because dad has to go through so much trouble to support his grandson's education? Brother Tan got it because he was lucky. Why? If we say who suffers, how can we, the eldest brother, take advantage?"

Her man can earn three to five taels of silver a year. Her eldest son and two sons are now strong laborers and are top leaders in the field work. Her two daughters also work hard. How can they take advantage of the eldest son?

If you really think about it, we have three bedrooms and four bedrooms. I like to be lazy and can't work hard, and my son is too young to do much work. I just rely on the Huang family and the Jiang family to weave? Even if it's divided into one year, she probably won't be able to earn her husband's share!
If they are to suffer, it is their elder brother who suffers!
Why are three-bedroom and four-bedroom people jumping up and down and feeling unhappy?
Mrs. Wu wanted to split up the family, but she felt that three and four bedrooms were a burden. After splitting up the family, with her husband and two sons, how could she not support Tan Geer's education?

Li Jiren has not been fond of talking since he was a child, he only loves to think, that is to say, he is very thoughtful. Now listening to his wife's complaints, he has already thought a lot of thoughts in his heart. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that what his wife said makes sense.

But he knew that his father would not be willing to separate the family.

He was so proud that he had a prosperous family full of children and grandchildren, how could he be willing to let this prosperity be divided into four or five pieces?
