After reacting, Mother Li's eyes widened angrily, and she pointed at her nose and yelled, "Fuck your mother, you came to my mother's house early in the morning to cause misfortune. I'm used to you..."
"You stinky bitch with a rotten tongue, Ah Shui clamored to separate the family early in the morning, it was you who instigated it..."
"Auntie~" Li Changshui interrupted the two people's exchange with an angry roar. Panting, he ran up to Xu Xianmei and grabbed Xu Xianmei. He stared at her with bloodshot eyes and shouted at her:
"You are so reluctant to let go of your mother's family. Why do you want to get married and have children? You don't give us a way to live, right? Yufang took a rope and went to Dadao to hang yourself at your mother's family. Anyway, there is no way to live, so I will go too.
Hang us together in your natal home."
After saying that, he pushed her to the ground, picked up the rope on the ground, turned around and ran away.
"Ah~" Xu Xianmei blinked a few times before she realized what he was saying. She hurriedly got up, cursed loudly and chased after him.
"You damn short-lived ghosts, how could you do such a treasonous thing..."
The onlookers were dumbfounded and said, "Oh my god, how could such a mother-in-law force Ah Shui and Yufang to hang themselves at their maternal home?"
"If it were me, I would have done this a long time ago. Being born into such a family would be really bad luck for eight lifetimes!"
"Let's go, follow up and take a look!" The onlookers, not even caring about the roofs of their homes, swarmed after him.
Li's father said to Li Changle and others: "Ah Le, Ah Ping, Ah Fang, you guys hurry up and take a look."
Li Changle and several others were about to leave, they all wanted to see the Li Changshui brothers and sisters return the favor in the same way.
Just now those people were watching the excitement in their own homes, and of course they were not happy about it. Now they go to the fourth room to see Xu Xianmei's excitement, and everyone likes it.
"Don't go!" Mother Li stopped a few people and pointed at Father Li with a livid face, "You still care? If you don't care about the bad things of the fourth room in the future, you will go with the fourth room! If it weren't for Ah Le and Ah Shui today,
, let me see how you end up?"
"You're a rotten bitch. She came to our house to hang herself even though she knew that my family had just approved the foundation to build a new house. How could she be worried?"
Father Li was also furious, "I, I just saw the child as pitiful, but I didn't expect that she could do such a thing!"
Li Changxi hurriedly pulled Li's mother, "Mom, don't blame me. If you want to blame me, blame the evil-hearted Xu family. Since you want the girl to help raise your son, don't marry the girl off. Marry out and get a few more."
Help raise them."
"The fourth aunt in the Xu family is like this. I heard that her sisters took care of her at first, but later they had their own children and stopped taking care of her."
"Second uncle, fourth uncle agreed to separate the family. My father asked you to come over." Li Changqing's wife Chen Liping ran over and shouted.
"Hey!" Father Li responded twice in succession and looked at Mother Li with a smile, "Look, the fourth child has agreed to separate the family. If we don't make this scene, who knows how long it will be delayed?"
Mother Li gave him a chop and said angrily: "It's just your conscience!"
"It's good to have a good conscience. There will be a savior in case of trouble!" Li's father was not angry. He happily climbed onto the tricycle and asked Li Changle to drive him to Asi's house.
Sister-in-law Li glanced at Li Changxi, and the sisters-in-law followed her, "A Ping, where are Yufang and Ah Shui?"
Chen Liping curled her lips and said, "Stopped." Yufang ran and cried while holding a rope, and her fourth uncle chased after her with a stick. When he passed by my store, my father stopped him and prevented him from hitting Yufang.
He also scolded him, saying that even dogs know how to protect their young. You are willing to work as a cow or a horse for the Xu family. No one can stop you, but you must give the two children a way to survive.
He also asked if he would go to Dadao Village to look for his brother-in-law's children to take care of him when he gets old and can't move anymore. His fourth uncle may have been afraid that Ah Shui wouldn't support him in the future, so he agreed to split up the family.
If you ask me, I shouldn't have stopped them. My parents-in-law have been quarreling over their affairs over the years, which has made our family uneasy, so we have to let them go to Xu's house to have a quarrel to relieve their anger."
Sister-in-law Li and Li Changxi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, the two elders of my family often quarrel about their own affairs, so we should go to the Xu family to cause trouble, so that others can be careful and don't please their girls.
"
Li Changle pedaled his tricycle slowly and listened to his sisters-in-law chattering about Xu Xianmei's glorious deeds of jumping into wells, wiping her neck, and drinking medicine over the years, and soon arrived at the Li family's old house behind the brigade headquarters.
The house was a wooden house built with half stones and wooden boards. After the three elder brothers built the house and moved out, his family was the only one left to live here.
At this time, the courtyard was already full of people watching the excitement. Party Secretary Wang, Accountant Chen, Uncle Li, and Uncle Li were all there.
Li Changshui and Li Yufang were squatting against the wall, while Xu Xianmei, whose head and face were still covered with clay, was sitting on a bamboo chair as if dead. A pair of dead fish eyes stared gloomily at the villagers whispering in the yard.
The dark-skinned Uncle Li held the cigarette rod in his mouth and smoked continuously. The light in the cigarette pot flickered, making his big rosacea nose bright red.
Li Changle helped Li's father off the tricycle and helped him walk to the eaves. Li Ashui brought a chair out for him to sit on, and apologized to him uneasily, "Second uncle, I'm sorry..."
Father Li raised his hand to interrupt him, "It's okay, she hasn't hung up yet!"
Li Yufang said angrily: "She won't really hang herself. The whole Xu family is still relying on her to suck blood!"
"Yufang, shut up!" Uncle Li shouted, "Do you still want your reputation?"
"What kind of reputation do I want?" Li Yufang raised her head and pointed at herself, "A person like me can't get married anyway. I will keep an eye on her at home. As long as she dares to ask my brother for money, I will go to Xu's house and wipe her neck and hang herself."
Xu Xianmei immediately became energetic, pointed at her and cursed: "Short-lived ghost, how dare you!"
Li Yufang also took the risk and took a step forward to look at her pitifully, "Do you think I dare? I'm only fifteen years old and you are over forty. Can you still look at me for the rest of your life?"
Xu Xianmei was startled by her appearance, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground, crying at the top of her voice, "I'll kill you..."
"Okay, stop howling. You are shameless, and we still want shame! The Li family has been in trouble for eight lifetimes, having to deal with a prodigal like you."
Uncle Li angrily stepped forward and kicked Uncle Li, "Everyone is here, hurry up and separate."
Uncle Li took two long puffs of cigarette before he stood up and said, "I can't make the decision. They can divide it however they want."
"Useless things!" Uncle Li glared at him angrily, "Every family has half the food, one set of fishing gear, and the house is divided in the middle, with two rooms for each family and one wing each. The money..."
Li Changshui took a step forward and said, "Uncle, second uncle, third uncle, Party Secretary Wang, Accountant Chen, my family only has two sacks of millet and a few bags of sweet potato shreds left."
Father Li was stunned after hearing this. The early rice has only been harvested for more than a month, and the late rice will not be harvested for another two months. They only have two bags of millet left?
"Where's your food?"
Li Yufang pointed at Xu Xianmei angrily, "She has asked her to deliver the food to the Xu family. Every time she goes there, it is in big and small bags. When she comes back, she is empty-handed, not even a vegetable."
Li Changshui took it and said: "In addition to my father, we have white rice every now and then. My younger sister and I have sweet potato porridge. Our mouths are watering after eating, and we can't even get on the boat to pull the net."
"Oh my god, how can this be my mother? The landowners in the old days were not as mean as her, right?"
"Sisters Ah Shui and Yufang had a hard life. They were reborn in Li's family. Meeting such a biological mother is worse than a stepmother."
"Yes, no wonder Yu'e and Yulian didn't even return to their parents' homes."
When Uncle Li heard the discussion of the villagers, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he said to Li Asi: "Two bags of millet for you and Ah Shui's family, half of the sweet potato shreds for the family, and a set of fishing gear for them."
"Uncle, the hand-thrown net and the copy net were woven by the eldest and second sisters for me and Yufang. We are going to separate. I want ten ground cages..."
"Damn it!" Xu Xianmei beat her chest and shouted at him, "You took half of the food and left, and you still want to share the fishing gear. You might as well chop me to death with a knife..."
"My brother doesn't need to chop you down. Don't you like the big well the most? I'll jump into the well with you. As long as you die, everyone will be at peace."
Li Yufang rushed forward, grabbed her and walked towards the backyard. The village's big well was behind the house, and Xu Xianmei had to jump over it several times.
Xu Xianmei saw her fierce face and was so frightened that she quickly grabbed the door frame, "Ah Si, look at this disobedient and unfilial person..."
"It's better to die, so as not to suffer the consequences!" Li Asi looked indifferent, as if they were not his wife and children.
"That's right, the chickens in the chicken pen still have a full meal to eat. With Grandma gone, I can't even have a full meal, and my life is worse than that of the chickens in the chicken pen."
Li Yufang pulled her fiercely toward the backyard. The onlookers looked at her with complicated expressions, and no one reached out to give her a hand or a word of advice.
Xu Xianmei was so frightened that she lost her wits. She raised her leg and kicked Li Yufang, "You're a damn girl who's been stabbed a thousand times. If you want to die, go die yourself. Let me go..."
Seeing this, Li Changle hurriedly pulled away from Li Yufang, "Xiaofang, the family is about to be separated. Good times are still to come. Isn't it worthwhile to die?"
Li Yufang let go of her hand, wiped the tears from her face, and looked at Xu Xianmei who was slumped on the ground, "No one is holding you this time, why don't you die?"
The good guy took the opportunity to argue, "Xu Xianmei, you jumped into that well a few times. This time it's up to you. Why don't you go?"
The older man said: "Don't jump. This is the only well that has water during the drought. I will still point to this well to survive in the future!"
Secretary Wang waved to everyone, "Okay, please stop saying a few words. Before the typhoon comes, go back and check if there are any leaks. Otherwise, when the typhoon comes, the house will be filled with pots and pots again."
.”
"Ah Shui, where are the fishing gear and food? We helped divide them. You also need to repair the roof quickly." Uncle Li took it and said.
"Keep it in the wing, I'll move it."
Li Changle also followed up to help. There were fishing tools in the bucket and fishing nets in the backpack, all neatly packed and placed inside.
There is a bamboo basket in the corner, with millet and sweet potato shreds in it.
The two sorted the things and carried out the millet and sweet potato shreds in the sacks. Witnessed by Party Secretary Wang, Accountant Chen, and the three Li brothers, the brother and sister Li Changshui finally separated.
Uncle Li generously brought over the pots, pans, and small dining table that the old lady used when she lived in the hut.
Li's father and Li Sanshu gave them ten yuan each, and the three brothers Li Changle and Li Shuiqing pooled in twenty yuan for them. The brother and sister bought oil and salt and officially lived alone.
