"Have you heard? The Li family kicked Minghua out, and the repair shop was handed over to the fourth brother!" This gossip spread to Wujia Village!

Wu Sangui, with his red, frozen hands in his pockets and his neck hunched, went into the kitchen of Wu Jinhua's house.

The flames in the stove crackled, making the wrinkles on his face appear bright and dark.

"Sister, I just came back from Mule Alley," he leaned close to Wu Jinhua's ear and told her the news he had heard in Mule Alley!

The white air exhaled from his mouth flew straight into people's faces!

"Bang!" Wu Jinhua slammed the fire tongs on the stove. "Bullshit! How could that old fox Li Guifang be so cruel? She kicked her daughter-in-law out in the middle of winter!"

Wu Sangui rubbed his hands and stamped his feet. "It's absolutely true! I've asked several neighbors, and they all say the Li family is trying to distance themselves from Minghua..."

He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "When I came back, I went to the shop to take a look. The shop was open, but Wu Xiaomei was the only woman there. How could she repair the car? It would have fallen into the hands of other men in the Li family..."

Wu Jinhua used the fire tongs in her hand to scratch in the stove ashes.

Wasn't she going through all this trouble just waiting for Wu Xiaomei to give up so she could buy the shop at a bargain price? Now, Li Minghua was sent in, and now Li Laosi has appeared. If this continues, I'm afraid all the sons of the Li family will have their turn, and the shop will never be hers!

Suddenly, she stood up, her cotton shoes leaving two marks on the muddy ground: "Let's go! Let's take a look!"

"It's so cold..." Wu Sangui shrank his neck.

"I won't freeze you to death!" Wu Jinhua grabbed the scarf from the kang, "If that's the case..."

She suddenly smiled sinisterly, revealing two yellowed teeth. "We have to get this case settled quickly! We'll avoid any further complications!"

The brother and sister walked towards the town against the howling north wind. The footprints left on the snow behind them were soon covered by the new snow.

When they were almost at the repair shop, Wu Jinhua and her brother didn't dare to get too close, so they hid behind a tree stump on the other side and watched!

The snowflakes in the twelfth lunar month are like salt, hitting people's faces and hurting them.

The Wu siblings hunched their necks and peeked into the repair shop, but unfortunately, it was too far away and they couldn't see anything!

"This horrible weather..." Wu Jinhua wrapped her scarf tighter, and the white air from her mouth covered her face, "There's not even a ghost!" It must be because of the snow, there are few cars on the road, let alone anyone repairing a car!

The door of the repair shop was open, but it was pitch black inside, like a black hole. Not to mention seeing whether Li Laosi was inside, even Wu Xiaomei was nowhere to be seen.

Wu Sangui did not give up and kept standing on tiptoe to look inside. Suddenly, he was blinded by the snow and his eyes turned red from rubbing them.

I was shivering from the cold, and my snot turned into icicles as soon as it started running.

"Sister, how about..."

"Shh!" Wu Jinhua suddenly pinched his arm.

In the distance, a dark figure was pushing a bicycle towards the shop, and the wheels plowed two furrows in the snow.

The brother and sister quickly hid behind a wooden block.

After about a quarter of an hour, the man finally came out.

Wu Sangui leaped out and almost did a split on the ice.

"Hey, young man!" He came forward with a smile, "How's the craftsmanship in this shop? I'm planning to get my car repaired too!"

The man was wrapped in a military coat, and the snow on the brim of his hat was half a finger thick.

He glanced at Wu Sangui sideways, then looked behind him, as if looking for Wu Sangui's car!

But after only a glance, he still grinned at Wu Sangui: "Not bad! A car repair shop..."

He patted the seat and said, "Being able to turn the wheel is a skill. Anyone who dares to open a business in this snowy weather without some skills would have been out of business long ago!"

Before Wu Sangui could ask a few more questions, the man had already jumped onto the bicycle.

Before leaving, he said, "The shopkeeper is really hardworking, still open in such heavy snow!" Before he finished speaking, he had already slid a long way away, and the rear end of the car drew an arc on the snow.

When Wu Sangui heard these words, he felt that someone was really repairing the car!

Wu Sangui hunched over and slid back behind the wooden block. His face was blue from the cold, and he looked as if his father had died!

"Sister! Seriously, the Li family is going to kick the third child out! I saw Li Laosi packing up his things in the shop with my own eyes!"

Wu Jinhua squinted her triangular eyes, and the white air from her mouth formed a layer of frost on her scarf. "Are you sure you can see clearly?"

"How could it be false?" Wu Sangui slapped his thigh. "Li Laosi's attitude is as if the shop is already his! Just now, that rough guy was calling him shopkeeper..."

Wu Jinhua bit her lip and pondered, "Strange... How can that old woman Li Guifang be such a mother? She really doesn't care about Li Laosan's life or death?"

"Hey!" Wu Sangui rubbed his hands, unconcerned. "Think about it, sister. If this case is confirmed, the third brother will have to spend three to five years in prison. The Li family is eager to distance themselves from it!"

The snow fell heavier, and the brother and sister's heads moved closer and closer.

Wu Jinhua laughed viciously: "Since they are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust..."

She grabbed her brother's ear and said, "We have to strike while the iron is hot! Let's scatter some more nails tonight and make it impossible for them to turn over..."

See how many sons the Li family has who can be sent in!

Wu Jinhua narrowed her eyes, her face wrinkled into a ball. "Let's go! Go back first! We need to think about this matter carefully..."

The two men sneaked towards the village entrance, and the footprints they left on the snow were soon covered by the new snow.

Meanwhile, in the repair shop, Wu Xiaomei was peeking out through the crack in the door, her mouth almost grinning from ear to ear: "The fish is hooked!"

Watching Wu Jinhua and her brother disappear completely in the wind and snow, Wu Xiaomei slammed the shop door shut.

"Xiaoyuan, pack up and let's go home!" She quickly locked the toolbox and wiped some dust on her youngest son's face. "Don't wipe it off. Let's go home like this."

"Mother"

"Shh——" Wu Xiaomei raised her finger and pointed outside the door.

The two children immediately understood and started sobbing, their cries being particularly harsh in the empty snowy day.

The three of them walked home in the snow. Wu Xiaomei deliberately went around to the door of the Wujia Village chief's house. This was the center of the village. Even on a snowy day, you'd always run into people!

Mrs. Wang happened to be out pouring out the slop, and when she saw this, she quickly stopped them: "Hey, Xiaomei, what's going on?"

Wu Xiaomei's eyes were red, and she remained silent. However, her eldest son burst into tears: "Fourth Uncle is so cruel... He took away our shop and kicked us out."

The play was so good that even the knowledgeable old yellow dog was stunned with his head tilted.

When they were far away, Mrs. Wang immediately opened her voice and said, "Did you hear that? The Li family is just not kind!"

Immediately, several old ladies and young wives came out in the wind and snow to listen to the gossip!

At this time, Li Guifang was squatting in front of the stove making ginger soup.

Seeing her daughter-in-law come back, she didn't even raise her head and asked, "Did the fish take the bait?"

"Bite it to death!"
