Chapter Nineteen: Our Families Are Broken!

just a small thing, I'll give it to the little girl to play with."Elder Li couldn't see what her granddaughter had stuffed in her mouth. Seeing the noblewoman speak like this, Master Ye also nodded. S...The village head bought a roast chicken and a jar of strong liquor. He returned to the village and went up the mountain together, not knowing if it was to report to his deceased old brothers.

The entire Li family, young and old, were overjoyed when they saw the deed.

Everyone went up to have a look and touch it, and then they became even more enthusiastic about the cleaning of their new home.

The main room was occupied by Old Li and Jia Yin, while the west room housed several brothers named Ji.

Then the east wing south room was given to Li Laoer and his wife, and the north room was given to Li Lao San.

The south room of the West Chamber was given to Li Laosi and Tao Hongying, while the north room was locked up temporarily as a storeroom.

Two rooms for ears, perfect for men and women to wash and bathe. You can also use it to dry underwear.

To avoid some awkwardness with so many people living together.

Kyoto in winter isn't very warm, so every house has a heated kang bed. This made the Li family even more satisfied.

Li Lao Er followed behind his mother, busy listing out orders.

Kanga beds, new window paper, cooking oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, rice, noodles, grain and cooking oil, earthenware basins and jars, almost everything needs to be purchased.

Lao Tai Li received the good news, took silver to give to Tao Hongying and Li Yuru. Lao Si Li and Jiayi followed, and they hurried into town to buy things.

If I can't help, I'll just try not to get in the way. I'll make a few sounds if I need to pee or am hungry. If I'm really bored, I'll just sleep.

This well-behaved little girl made Li Laotai and the whole family even happier. Anyone who came over would want to kiss her little face.

The Li family was so busy and bustling, naturally the villagers heard about it.

Three women returned from the fields and gathered at the village entrance to chat.

"I heard from the village head's wife that a family has moved into that big courtyard at the foot of the mountain."

One woman, who lived next door to the village head, quickly shared her new gossip with the others.

"That courtyard was bought How much did it cost They're really bold, don't they know how Zhang Lao Kui died" someone exclaimed.

"It is said that it cost a hundred taels. That family didn't bat an eye and paid the silver."

The woman seemed to be right there watching Old Lady Li hand over the money, excitedly gesturing with her hands.

"This family is really wealthy, though the courtyard is a bit out of style, it's genuinely a good one. I heard Zhang Laoqi spent over a hundred taels when he built it. Now, with ten more acres of land added, it only costs a hundred taels. The newcomer really got a bargain!"

"Who said it wasn't so The village head said that family came to our village yesterday to seek refuge with relatives, but their relatives didn't take them in, so they wanted to buy a place to live. I don't know which family has lard on their heart, they would actually refuse such a wealthy relative."

Liu Tiezhu's wife, standing not far away, listened with a face flushed red and green. She regretted it deeply.

She turned her head and ran towards the courtyard at the foot of the mountain...

The Li family was bustling inside, washing the stone floor thoroughly with water. It looked clean and refreshing no matter how you looked at it.

Liu Tiezhu's wife looked for a long time, her whole person was in a daze, she didn't even know how to go home.

Mrs. Guo was tending the stove, about to scold her daughter-in-law for being lazy, when she heard that the Li family had bought a courtyard for one hundred taels.

She immediately jumped up from her chair, "Impossible! When did the Li family become so wealthy!"

If they had known this beforehand, they should have worshipped the Li family yesterday. Even if they wanted to drive them out, they should have tricked them into giving up their money first!

"Go check it out over there!"

Mrs. Guo couldn't bear to see this, Li Laotai was the aunt of the children, and now that she had prospered, how could she let her nephew suffer

She absolutely had to get the money out of Old Li's hands!

Liu Tiezhu and Liu Laifu also had this intention, so the whole family rushed to the foot of the mountain.

"Oh my, elder sister! You guys really are something. Why didn't you say anything before leaving I specially asked my daughter-in-law to cook for you this morning, but when I opened the door, you were gone!"

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Guo shi rushed to Li lao tai's side, her attitude far more enthusiastic than yesterday.

Li Laotai raised her eyelids and glanced at her, coldly replying, "Aren't you afraid we'll be a burden on your house"

Guo was embarrassed, but she still tried to defend herself with a straight face.

"Big sister misunderstood, you also saw, our family is just those few houses, this isn't afraid big sister dislikes it."

Having said that, she greedily eyed up the large yard and asked.

"Big sister, I heard that you bought this courtyard Oh my, it's a mess here, everything needs to be cleaned up. I'll have Zhuzi and the others help out."

Liu Tiezhu feigned helping by rolling up his sleeves, but his eyes were glued to Li's suitcase.

Just then, Li Lao Si and Tao Hongying came back from outside. Seeing the Liu family, their faces were all grim.

Li Laosi even drove them away directly, "We don't need your help, get out of here!"

Liu Laifu had never liked Li Laosì to begin with. Hearing his words, the jealousy and resentment in his heart flared up like a fire.

"Just bought a yard, what do you have to be proud of I'll tell you, our family has lived in this village for over ten years. If you dare offend our family, you definitely won't get along in this village!"

Just as Jia Yin was being held up by Tao Hongying, she slept somewhat groggily. Hearing the Liu family shouting like this made her even more annoyed.

She rarely let out such a loud cry!

This stirred up a hornet's nest. The Li family dropped whatever they were doing and rushed over.

"What's wrong with Fu Niuer Are you scared"

"She must have been scared, waking up to the barking dog!"

Li Laotai was also heartbroken. Originally, she still had a bit of sympathy for the Liu family, but it vanished immediately.

She held her granddaughter in her arms, soothing her while pointing at the door and shooing people away.

"Hurry up and leave, don't come back again. I told you last night, Liu Gen er is dead, our two families are broken."

"Dead old hag, who do you think you can chase away!"

Liu Laifu had a quick temper and raised his hand to hit Li Lao Tai. He was stopped by Li Lao Si, who grabbed his arm.

Liu Lai Fu cried out in pain, his forehead instantly breaking out in a cold sweat.

Mrs. Guo wanted to step forward to help her son, but a glance from Li Laosi frightened her into immobility.

Liu Laifu was in such agony he almost fainted. As he felt like his arm might be broken, Li Laosì suddenly flung him away.

"Get out! Don't ever let me see you again!"

The Liu family rushed forward to help Liu Laifu, stumbling and bumping as they ran out.

Jia Yin was greatly relieved and spat at their backs.

Unfortunately, she had no strength left. Saliva trickled down her chin and onto her neck.

Just then, the scene was witnessed by Li Laotai and Li Laosi, who burst into laughter.

"Wow, my little Funiu is so clever now, she even knows how to spit!" "Don't underestimate Funiu just because she's young, she knows right from wrong!"

Everyone laughed and teased Jiayin, making her blush.

Li Laotai waved her hand and instructed her grandchildren.

"Our family is finally settled here, and there will surely be both good times and bad times ahead. But we must be determined, work together, and make the best of our lives!"

The Li family members all replied in unison, "Mother, rest assured, we will work hard."

"Grandma, we will also be good."

As the sun set, our new home was finally ready to move into.

Tao Hongying had cooked a big pot of porridge, adding wild vegetables and tearing apart a roasted chicken bought from the city. The first meal in their new home was ready.

As a family, they sat together comfortably, ignoring Wu Cuifang and Wu Erdog's disgusting scramble for the roasted chicken. They all felt incredibly at ease.

After fleeing for nearly two months, I finally have a home.

With autumn approaching, the Li family had no time for lingering thoughts. The next morning, they began their busy work once more.is greedy for the gifts, it's just that occasions like this are opportunities for various wealthy families to interact and network.Networking is something that you build through your interactions and...
