Chapter 62
Li Yuezhu went to the street to buy some daily necessities, and the car quickly took her to Lijiacun. Before Li Yuezhu got out of the car, she heard a noise.
"What kind of onions do you think you are? If you saw peaches on that tree and asked the village chief for an orchard, you thought I, Li Cuihua, was dead, right?" Li Cuihua yelled at the top of her lungs, even though her voice was hoarse, she still refused.
Rao.
"Third Aunt, you can't say that. Does the orchard belong to you now? It's obviously an ownerless property. Anyone in the village has the right to contract it, and you alone don't have the final say."
"Why didn't I have the final say? That orchard belongs to my family. You brat, do you want to die? Don't think that I don't know about the dirty things you did."
"Third Aunt, please don't slander me. Don't you know what you have done? Not only did you beat up Daxi for no reason, but you also poured water on the wheat that had just been dried. Do you still have a conscience?
?”
"Who, who splashed the water? Did you see me splash it? He didn't take good care of his own food, and he threw the shit basin on the heads of our three mothers."
After saying this, the old lady lay on the ground and cried loudly: "Dad, please open your eyes. This is how these people treated us mothers after you left."
Someone was pulling at the old lady nearby, but the old lady wouldn't get up and was lying on the doorstep making fun of her.
"Dafu, please open your eyes and see, after you left, people bullied your mother like this!"
The old lady was crying and shouting. When she shouted here, she got up from the ground, "You bastards, please be careful, my son's soul is watching next to you. Who dares to steal our mother's possessions?"
If I let him disturb you, you will have no peace."
People in ancient times were still very feudal and superstitious, especially the elderly people in the village. Li Dafu had just passed her seventh birthday, and it was really hard to tell whether her son's soul was still wandering around the village.
Li Yuezhu sat on the carriage and asked the driver to deliver it directly to her door. It seemed that something was wrong with the old lady again.
After getting off the carriage, she threw a couple of coins to the driver. The driver considerately helped Li Yuezhu carry the pile of things he bought to her door, and then drove off in the carriage.
The house was still the same as before, nothing had changed, and there were still no courtyard walls. Li Yuezhu looked at the decadent environment and sighed.
He took out the key, opened the door, and moved the pile of things at the door to his home. As soon as he had packed them away, Li Yuezhu heard someone shouting at the door.
"Who's back? Is it Sister Zhou?"
This was Wang's voice in the front yard, and Li Yuezhu quickly went out to greet her.
"Aunt Wang, why are you here?"
"Oh, it turns out to be Zhu girl. You guys have been out for a few days without saying a word. I'm worried to death."
Li Yuezhu listened to Aunt Wang's words and quickly welcomed her in: "Aunt, I just came back and there was no tea at home. Didn't the courtyard wall collapse? In addition, my brother is about to take the exam. He rented a house in the county before.
, we will move there first.”
"Oh, houses in the county cost a lot of money. If you don't have a place to live, you can come to my house. Seeing that the orchard can't be rented, I drove the two brothers back. There are many empty houses at home.
Yes, you didn't tell me in advance. If I had known earlier, I would have packed the house for you."
"Thank you, Aunt Wang. Mother mainly goes to wash and cook for my brother. We appreciate your kindness. After my brother finishes his exam, we will repair the yard."
Mrs. Wang nodded repeatedly after listening to Li Yuezhu's words, "It's time for your yard to be repaired. The house looks dilapidated. Why are you back alone?"
"Yeah, I can't worry about home, so I'll come back and have a look."
"Oh, you girl, it's not a coincidence that you came back. Li Cuihua's son started making trouble just after his death, which turned the whole village upside down and no one could live in peace." When Wang said this, she exerted all her energy.
Sighed.
"Girl, you stay in your courtyard on weekdays, but don't go out. If you fall into Li Cuihua's hands, she will have to capture you and sell you."
"Aunt Wang, what do you say?" Li Yuezhu became curious. Could this old lady have done something outrageous again?
"You don't know something. Ever since Li Dafu died, the old lady has been in a daze. She bites whoever she catches and looks at everyone as if they are trying to rob her orchard."
Wang sighed deeply and patted Li Yuezhu on the shoulder.
"Just a few days ago, the old lady and her two sons beat up Daxi. She said that she was worried about her orchard. Daxi was also a well-educated person. After being beaten, she took 30 taels of silver to the old village.
The elders said they wanted to take over the orchard."
"Hey, Zhu girl, how did you know that those 30 taels of silver were borrowed by Daxi from here and there." When Wang said this, she patted Li Yuezhu on the shoulder and shook her head as she spoke.
"Dingdangxiang, the Daxi family, is very poor. He doesn't like to owe favors. This is the first time in history. Even his mother was sick a while ago and she was too embarrassed to ask for a loan. Daxi really wants to buy this orchard from me.
I really don’t believe it.”
Li Yuezhu nodded clearly. This old lady was clearly making things out of nothing, killing chickens to respect monkeys!
"No, at the beginning of Daxi, the others couldn't sit still. Seeing that the fruit was about to fall, Feihu and Dayou from the east of the village also went to the village chief's house."
"What can the old lady do? This happened again today."
After listening to Aunt Wang's words, Li Yuezhu had a general understanding in her heart.
"Okay, Aunt Wang, go back quickly. I will never run around in the village. How can the old lady rebel?"
Mrs. Wang nodded repeatedly: "Hey, that's it. Girl, you wait here. I made big buns this morning and will bring some to you later."
Wang said and was about to go home.
Li Yuezhu was sitting alone at the table. It seemed that the old lady had aroused public anger. Even if she didn't want others to get the orchard, she couldn't make it out of thin air.
Li Yuezhu covered his forehead. He originally thought it was a simple matter, but now besides the old lady, three more people have intervened, making the matter even more difficult.
Now that she thinks about it, she probably has no chance of that orchard anymore. Even if she snatches it from the old lady, it will be impossible for her to live peacefully in the future.
Mrs. Wang sent over three big steamed buns. These steamed buns were stuffed with shepherd's purse. The villagers had no spare money to buy vegetables. If they wanted to eat vegetables, they would go to the fields and pick up a handful of wild vegetables.
Li Yuezhu sent Wang away with great gratitude, and finished the meal hastily. The sun was almost setting, and the noise outside was still going on.
Li Yuezhu looked at the shopping system and found that two of the eight copper ornaments she had put on it had been sold. There was now more than three hundred yuan in her account.
After having money in the system, Li Yuezhu finally felt at ease again. It seemed that this ornament was quite popular. Finding the cloth bag containing the ornament, Li Yuezhu put two new ones on it.
