Seeing that everyone had left, the people in the Li family began to busy themselves with cleaning and washing dishes.

Washing the dishes was also quite simple. All the food was eaten up cleanly, and even the oil and water in the vegetarian dishes were drunk up by everyone without leaving a drop.

After everything was done, Li Qiang brought Qin Hua to meet Li Jiakang and his wife and let them recognize each other.

Everyone chatted for a while before Li Jiakang said that it was getting late and they had to hurry back.

No one tried to persuade him to stay.

The three of them set out on their journey back.

On the way, Li Xu asked, "Dad, Mom, what did you say about grandma?"

Li Jiakang said: "It's all settled, and the matter has been resolved."

Li Xu asked about the inside story again, but the couple kept silent until he asked urgently.

Li Jiakang then cursed loudly: "You little bastard, you dared to slap me last night, wait until I get back and see how I'll deal with you."

Hearing this, Li Xu almost lost his breath, "Ahem, no matter how much we yelled last night, it was useless. We have to do this."

"I don't care. You can't escape this beating anyway."

Seeing this, Sun Xiu smiled and said, "Then tell me, should I settle the score with you for the slap you gave me last night?"

Li Jiakang was silent for a moment, and after a long while he said, "No matter how much you shouted last night, it was useless. This is the only way."

Li Xu felt a strong sense of familiarity in this sentence, and then he thought, isn't this what he just explained?

Sun Xiu continued, "That's what my son said just now. Why did you still hit him?"

Li Jiakang was choked and speechless. He said angrily, "Then why don't you just forgive him this time?"

Hearing this, Li Xu came closer to Sun Xiu and said with a smile, "Mom is really awesome. Unlike some people who can't tell right from wrong."

Li Jiakang had originally been pressured by Sun Xiu to let Li Xu go, but after hearing this, he couldn't contain his anger. "Well, you little bastard, I think your skin is itching badly."

Sun Xiu patted Li Xu on the back and said, "Okay, don't make your dad angry. I'll tell you when we get home so I don't have to tell you twice."

Li Xu nodded in agreement.

In this way, the three of them walked all the way back home, and it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening when they got home.

When she walked into the house, she saw that everyone was sitting in the main room. Li Ju could hardly open her eyes, but she still refused to sleep.

Hearing the noise, everyone got up and went out.

Even Li Ju, who could hardly open her eyes, became alert and ran out.

After seeing the three people, they surrounded the couple and walked into the main room. After entering the room, everyone asked them to sit down and brought them a glass of water.

Fortunately, someone still remembered Li Xu and brought him a glass of water.

After the couple drank some water and rested for a while, everyone started asking what happened.

Li Jiakang spoke at this time, "Everything has been resolved, you can rest assured!"

At this time, everyone asked what was going on.

Li Jiakang said, "After we went there today, we realized that your grandma only had this idea because she didn't want to burden the children, but we didn't expect Xiaoxu to hear it.

During lunch, your mother called your two uncles and the workers back and told them about this matter."

As the story was told, everyone understood the situation.

That is, my grandmother couldn't work to earn work points and had to eat the food at home. In addition, my uncles had given birth to many children, but only a few of them could work in the fields. Seeing this situation, she came up with this idea.

The uncles were unaware of the money and food that Li Jiakang had asked someone to send to them. Old Mrs. Sun did not accept it because she did not want to burden her daughter, and she even lied by saying that the family had no shortage of food.

At grandma's house, everyone eats together every day. Even if she eats less, everyone has to see her eat before they feel at ease, because they are afraid of this situation. She only skips lunch. I didn't expect that she could hold on for so long by eating only a small amount every day.

Everyone's eyes were red, and some women even shed tears, not knowing what to say.

After a while, Li Ping finally spoke: "Then how did you persuade grandma to calm down?"

Li Jiakang continued, "How else can I persuade her? Your mother and your two uncles and their families knelt on the ground to persuade her, and your grandmother finally agreed after she had no other choice.

I also told them that I would give your grandma some food every month, and from now on everyone should tighten their belts."

Everyone nodded after listening, and no one raised any objections.

Li Xu said, "Don't worry, everyone can eat as they please. I will take care of the food for grandma."

Li Ping said, "This won't take a month or two. Can you get so much food?"

Everyone looked at Li Xu with suspicion. Although he had brought back a lot of food, Li Ping was right after all. This would not be a short-term thing.

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me, don't worry about it."

Seeing that everyone wanted to say something, Li Xu said again, "Okay, everyone knows everything they want to know. It's getting late, so go back to bed." After that, he walked out of the house and returned to his room.

The rest of the people looked at each other in confusion. After a long while, Hu Guilan asked, "Mom, what should we cook from now on?"

Sun Xiu was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's continue with the previous quantities. What we brought today will be our food for this month. We'll see what Xiaoxu says next month."

Hu Guilan nodded.

Li Jiakang added, "Okay, it's getting late, let's all go back to sleep."

Only then did everyone go back to their rooms.

......

Early the next morning.

After Li Xu got up, Sun Xiu quietly handed him 30 yuan and said, "Xiao Xu, we won't ask you how you got the food. As long as you can manage it yourself, it will be fine. Take this money. It will be inconvenient if you don't have money in your pocket."

Li Xu took the money and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I'll use this money as capital."

Sun Xiu nodded and turned to leave.

After dinner, Li Xu took out two more fish from the space and walked to the purchasing department of the supply and marketing cooperative.

As soon as he saw Li Xu, Uncle Xu teased, "Hey, how come you, such a busy man, have time to show up today?"

Li Xu chuckled after hearing this and said, "Uncle Xu, I had some things going on at home these two days, so I didn't come over to chat with you. Now that I have nothing to do today, I came here early in the morning. Look, these are two fish I brought you." As he said that, Li Xu handed the fish to him.

Uncle Xu didn't refuse. He took the fish and snorted, "You're a good man. It's worth all my effort."

Hearing this, Li Xu's eyes lit up, as if he understood something, and asked hurriedly: "Uncle Xu, is it done?"
