Chapter 81: Stealing chicken but losing rice
Chapter 81: Stealing chicken but losing rice
As expected of Brother Tiezhu’s child, he is so awesome.
Li Xi got on the carriage and left Lijiazhuang under the escort of Shi Hanshuo and others.
Seeing that group of fierce-looking, tall and strong men had left, the villagers hiding in the corner dared to come out.
The villagers who had been hiding in fear just now stood up again.
"Village Chief, why did Daya come to see you?
"Yes, Village Chief, Daya looks really impressive today. Why are there so many people around her?"
"I see that those people around Daya are all tall and strong, they are definitely not ordinary people."
"He's definitely not an ordinary person. How can an ordinary person eat to have that kind of physique?
I think they are definitely thugs hired by rich families."
"Then how did Daya get involved with the rich family?"
"Yes, that little girl Daya has only been in the city for a short time, how come she is so impressive? Village chief, why did Daya come to see you today?"
"Village chief, please tell us something. Didn't Daya just tell us to ask you if we have any questions? Please don't be silent."
"Yes, village chief, please tell us."
It hasn't been long since Daya came to the city and she has become so elegant. They are no worse than her. If they knew the reason why she has become so elegant, maybe they could learn from her and become more elegant, not only riding in a carriage when going out, but also having someone to escort them.
I have to say, there is an illusion that I can do it too.
The villagers stood in front of Li Changqing's house, chattering non-stop, which made Li Changqing feel overwhelmed.
He said? What did he say? They were talking one after another and he couldn't get a word in. What did he say?
"Okay, all of you shut up and listen to Changqing!" Li Baogen pounded his crutch hard on the ground.
There were too many people and the voices were too mixed; some people heard his voice, while others did not.
Those who heard it also followed suit, "Alright, alright, stop talking and listen to the village chief!"
"Yes, stop talking. Didn't you see that the village chief has almost spoken?" Li Yinzhu shouted, rolling up his sleeves.
He originally came to see the fun of Li Changqing, because Li Changqing always got into trouble with him. He didn't expect that those people were not here to cause trouble for him. Thinking of this, Li Yinzhu was a little disappointed. Why were they not here to cause trouble for him?
However, he didn't expect that the group of people who looked difficult to deal with were actually brought by that bitch Daya. She was just a bitch, but she was worthy of riding in a carriage and being escorted by so many people. She was really not afraid of shortening her life!
Ever since Li Xi came to the city, many people in the village have been jealous. The most jealous among them are Li Yinzhu's family and Aunt Ma's family. After all, they have all been disciplined by Li Xi and they hate her to the core.
They wished she could not survive in the city and had to go back to the village in disgrace. Unexpectedly, several months later, not only was she doing well in the city, but she also looked like she had struck gold.
The crowd gradually quieted down, and Li Changqing sat on his bench.
“Everyone, I know you are all curious about what Daya is doing here, and there is nothing to hide.
You also know that I am helping Daya’s family cultivate their land now.”
Everyone in the village knew about this. After Tiezhu left, there were people in the village who were concerned about their family's land. Huzi and Daya were still young, and Mrs. Liu looked so weak. Anyone could see that probably no one in their family could cultivate that land.
So he thought of taking over the farming himself, and when the harvest came, he could just share some of the grain with them.
Unexpectedly, before they took any action, Daya handed the land over to the village chief to farm.
Li Yinzhu even regarded Daya's land as his own. Later, he was frightened by the sight of Li Xi using the land to chop people, so he dared not to cause any trouble again.
"I know. Who doesn't know this?"
"We all know all this. Is Daya's return today related to the matter in the field?"
Not only did they know this, they also knew that what was planted in Daya's fields was not grain, but a medicinal herb called Feng.
The village is so small that any unusual things will spread out within the time it takes to eat a meal. When Li Changqing took his eldest son to grow medicinal herbs, the villagers were very surprised.
At that time, Li Changqing told them that he was the one who helped Daya carry the things in the field. They laughed at him a lot at that time. It was bad enough that Daya was young and ignorant, but why did he follow her in making trouble?
Farmers don't grow crops, why do they grow crappy medicinal herbs? Who knows if they can grow? Even if they grow, they don't know who to sell them to. Those acres of good land are wasted.
"Daya came here today for work in the fields." Li Changqing did not keep the secret, "Daya was an apprentice in a medicine store in the city before.
The master she followed was a capable man, and was now invited by the General Zhenbei to work as a doctor in Jiayuguan. Her master took a liking to Daya, so he took Daya and Huzi with him as well.
Daya came here today just to talk about this. She said that she has been busy recently and that the next time she comes back, it will probably be time to dig the medicinal herbs. She was afraid that I couldn’t find her, so she came to the village to tell me.
As for the guards, they were all soldiers in the Zhenbei Army. Her master was afraid that it would be unsafe for her to come back alone, so he asked the general to arrange for them. "
"what!"
"Oh my God!"
"My old lady!"
"Goddess Grandma!"
There were constant exclamations from the crowd. Many people in the village had never even been to Jiangning City. Zhenbei Dajiangjun and Jiayuguan were too far away for them.
They never thought that Daya would be related to the General Zhenbei, and they never expected that she would move to Jiayuguan not long after she brought Hu Zi into Jiangning City.
Both Jiangning City and Lijiazhuang are actually relatively close to Dayan. With the Zhenbei Army guarding the border, they have not been invaded by the Huns for many years.
After listening to Li Changqing's words, they never thought that Jiayuguan being close to the Huns would be dangerous. They all thought that Daya was too lucky. She had found a job as an apprentice in a pharmacy in Jiangning City, and brought her brother into the city to become a city dweller.
A few days later, he followed his master to Jiayuguan to work for General Zhenbei.
The Great General Zhenbei, that is the Great General Zhenbei, a legendary figure, the highest-ranking official in their northern land.
Many people envy how lucky this girl is!
Li Yinzhu was so angry after hearing this, how could that little bitch have such a good life!
When Li Tiezhu was alive, he always suppressed me in everything. I didn't expect that after his death, the money-losing son he gave birth to would be so powerful!
Aunt Ma Er, who was beaten black and blue at the outermost part of the crowd, was also filled with hatred after hearing this. How could that bitch be so capable?
Covering her bruised and swollen face, Aunt Ma Er swept her gloomy eyes over the people around her. If they didn't help and just stood there watching that bitch Zhang Hua ride on and beat her, they were not good people either!
Aunt Ma originally wanted to come and see them in trouble, but she didn't expect that not only did she not see anything, but she also heard the news that Li Daya was getting better and better. She was so angry that she gasped for breath.
The people around Aunt Ma Er looked at her vicious and resentful eyes and subconsciously stayed away from her. This old woman did nothing good every day and only thought about watching other people's fun. She deserved to be beaten!
Apparently, she was not the only one who had this idea. Seeing how angry she looked, the people around Aunt Ma stayed away from her, fearing that she would go crazy.
Aunt Ma, who was already furious, became even angrier when she saw them avoiding her. She rolled her eyes and fainted.
She fell to the ground with a bang, and the people around her quickly retreated away. This had nothing to do with them, she fell on her own.
"Ma Laoer? Ma Laoer! Ma Laoer's wife fainted!"
"Is Ma Laoer's family here?"
There were three layers of people surrounding Li Changqing's house, making it difficult to find anyone.
It was Li Changqing, who was standing on a stool, who noticed something was wrong behind them and asked the people in the front to quiet down. Only then could he hear clearly what the people behind him were saying.
"Ma Laoer! Where are Ma Laoer's family members?" Li Changqing shouted loudly.
Unfortunately, there was no response from the crowd.
People also looked around, but didn't see anyone from Ma Laoer's family. Ma Lao Da was there, but just as he was about to speak, his wife beside him held his arm.
Aunt Ma lowered her voice and warned him, "If you dare to take advantage of their house again, you'll try!"
"We are all one family..."
Before Boss Ma could finish his words, Aunt Ma pinched the flesh on his arm and twisted it. His face twitched in pain. If he hadn't been concerned about being outside and afraid of embarrassment, he would have shouted out loud.
After so many years, this woman still only knows how to use this trick.
Aunt Ma: The trick doesn’t have to be new, as long as it’s useful.
"Don't mention the family to me. After the family is divided, it's two families. That family is full of rotten things. Just ignore them.
If you can't help it, just go to their house and become one of their family!"
For so many years, she has been considerate of him, and this time she doesn't want to endure it anymore. Even if they are separated, they are still a family. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. To hell with it.
Broken bones are still connected to the tendons?
Then the tendons will be broken too!
Ma Lao Da, who wanted to speak, was restrained by Aunt Ma, and no response came from Ma Lao Er's family in the crowd.
"Ouch!" Wang Zhaodi slapped her forehead and laughed, "Forgot, forgot, when we said Gui would come over to take a look, she was afraid that it would implicate her family, so she didn't go back to inform Ma Laoer at all, right?"
The others also thought that this should be the case. However, when they called for help, there was quite a lot of noise. Could it be that Ma Laoer’s family didn’t hear it?
There's no point in worrying about this now, as Aunt Ma is still lying on the ground.
There was no one in the village who had a good relationship with their family, so no one wanted to lend a hand. In desperation, Li Changqing could only ask his wife to help her back home first, and then ask someone to notify Ma Laoer's family to come and pick her up.
Li Changqing didn't want to care about Aunt Ma's temper of jumping around and causing trouble in the village every day, but after all he was the village chief.
In fact, Ma Laoer's family was not unaware of what was happening outside. After Aunt Ma Er was beaten, others went to inform the villagers. She sat on the ground to relax for a while and then went home.
However, when she returned home, she did not ask her family to go out and help. Instead, she told them what happened outside and asked them to stay out of it to avoid getting involved.
As the saying goes, people from the same family tend to stick together. After hearing what happened outside from Aunt Ma, the people in Ma Laoer's family thought the same thing as she did. Anyway, that group of people were not looking for them, so what did it have to do with them?
People don't come here for no reason.
Because of Aunt Ma Er, and because most of Ma Laoer's family members were lazy and cunning, Li Changqing often scolded them, and they had long disliked Li Changqing.
If those people really came to pick a fight with Li Changqing, they would have applauded.
Aunt Ma was so angry after being beaten that she came out of the house to see Aunt Ma and the others in trouble. Unexpectedly, not only did she not see them in trouble, but she also learned that Li Daya was getting better and better, and she was so angry that she fainted.
It's a typical case of trying to steal a chicken but ending up losing the rice.
"That's what happened. There's nothing else to say. Let's all go home." Li Changqing said as he got down from his stool. "Go do what you need to do. Stop gathering here."
After he finished speaking, the people present left one after another. Before leaving, Li Baogen glanced at the direction where Li Xi left. Daya is an extraordinary girl, but it's a pity that she is not a man.
Seeing that all the villagers had dispersed, Li Changqing breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, Daya had told him something else, but she would have to wait until the medicinal herbs in the field matured before she could talk about it.
Li Xi, who had already left, didn't know that because of her willingness, Aunt Ma Er was not only beaten up but also fainted from anger.
But even if she knew, she probably wouldn't care. Who would care about someone she has never taken seriously? She has never taken people like Aunt Ma who bully the weak and fear the strong seriously.
The way back was still bumpy and difficult. Li Xi, who had several layers of cushions, was still shaken badly.
Li Xi sat in the carriage with lifeless eyes, letting her body bump along with the carriage. The cement road was urgent!
After returning, she wrote the cement recipe to Gu Jingzhi. It was really hard to adapt to this broken road!
Li Xi actually didn't leave late today, but after going through Jiangning City and Lijiazhuang, it was already dark when she returned to Jiayuguan, and it was completely dark when she arrived at her doorstep.
Shi Hanshuo: "Doctor Li, we're home."
Li Xi got off the carriage with his bag and said to Shi Hanshuo and the soldiers behind him, "Thank you for your help today, brothers. I will treat you to a meal some other day."
"Doctor Li, you are too polite. This is what we should do." Shi Hanshuo once again felt that Li Xi was too polite. Looking at Li Xi's thin figure, he sighed in his heart that Doctor Li's medical skills were so great at such a young age. It was really incredible.
Zheng Erbing also spoke up; "Yes, Doctor Li, you don't have to be so polite. This is what we should do."
Tian Qiangsong and other soldiers also refused.
You must be joking. They are big and strong and they love to eat. How can they let a little girl treat them to a meal?
They know that only the Zhenbei Army can afford to support such gluttons as them. If the little girl were to treat them to a meal, she would go bankrupt.
Seeing that they all refused, Li Xi said nothing. She preferred doing it to talking.
"Then I'll go in first. Be careful on your way back."
"Don't worry, there are so many of us."
