Chapter 93: Singing

Tang Dafu brought firewood and set up a brazier in the yard.

The village chief was dozing off, so Tang Dafu quickly invited him into the house to rest.

As for Wang and Tang Mingxiu, they had no chance of entering Tang Dafu's house. If they were not worried that they would catch a cold and come to blackmail them again, they would not even want to arrange a brazier.

Li Taohua called a few children in to rest.

Wang wanted to go back to the next door, but was stopped by Li Taohua. Li Taohua did not allow them to leave, and she did not go in, but stayed in the yard to watch over them.

Tang Dafu brought a stool and some thick clothes and put them on her.

Li Taohua sat in the yard, wearing thick clothes, and looked unkindly at the mother and daughter who looked like weeds in the mud with her fair little face.

At dawn, Tang Dafu went out and did not come back for a long time. Li Taohua saw her daughter and the Tang brothers and sisters getting up to make breakfast, but Tang Dafu had not come back yet.

"This bastard man is really unreliable at the critical moment." Li Taohua cursed.

Wang fell asleep hugging the clothesline next to her.

Tang Mingxiu felt dizzy and his head was nodding. He fell asleep hugging a big rock beside him.

That big stone is used to tie the ox cart.

Li Taohua sneered twice: "You slept soundly, but I don't know if you can fall asleep again later."

The sound of the bullock cart was getting closer.

Li Taohua guessed that it was Master Tang San who came to pick them up, so she strode towards the gate of the courtyard and opened it.

Master Tang San drove in on a bullock cart, and with him came Tang Dafu and Doctor Shi from Shijia Village.

"I was wondering where you were going. It turns out you went to see a doctor." Li Taohua said, "How did you get there?"

"I asked my third uncle to drive the ox cart with me for a walk." Tang Dafu said embarrassedly, "Third uncle hasn't had breakfast yet. Do you have extra breakfast at home?"

"Are you stupid?" Li Taohua rolled her eyes. "In this case, even if you don't want to eat it, you have to give it to Uncle San. Why are you asking if there is any extra?"

Tang Dafu touched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "My wife is right, I am just too stupid. Fortunately, my wife is smart, you can make the decision about the family affairs."

Li Taohua: “…”

Doctor Shi stroked his beard, looked at Qin Huiyin who came out, and said, "Little girl, have we met before?"

"Doctor, I gave you a big deal last time." Qin Huiyin said, "It was very late that time, and we drove a bullock cart to your Shijia Village to ask you to see a doctor."

"Oh, I remember now, it's you!" Doctor Shi said, "What happened in your family again?"

"We have a villain in our house, sorry for making fun of you." Qin Huiyin said, "Have breakfast first, and talk after you are full. Uncle Tang, go see if the village chief is awake, and have breakfast together if he is."

Wang and Tang Mingxiu also woke up.

Li Taohua and her daughter invited the village chief, Doctor Shi, and Mr. Tang San to have breakfast, but ignored Wang and Tang Mingxiu. The mother and daughter smelled the fragrance inside and were hungry.

"Mom, what should we do later?" Tang Mingxiu asked.

"You insist that you have internal injuries." Wang said, "As long as you insist on it, the doctor can't do anything to you."

"What if the doctor says I'm not injured? If we keep insisting on it, Li Taohua and the others won't let us make trouble, right?"

"Who cares? We have to make them bleed today." Wang said viciously, "She, Li Taohua, is not easy to mess with. Am I easy to mess with? We have to win back today."

"Mom, we haven't found out anything, what should we do next?"

"I'm so annoyed. Let's talk about it later. Let's finish today's matter first."

In the room, Li Taohua said to Qin Huiyin, "Normally, they would have left at this time. My girl, it's getting late. You should leave early, otherwise you won't be able to come back today."

"I want to wait until things are settled here before I leave." Qin Huiyin said, "Wait a little longer, at most I can leave an hour later than usual."

"Our customers all come during that time period. If you go too late, they will think we are not setting up the stall today, and you will miss out on many regular customers."

Qin Huiyin understood what Li Taohua said. She just felt uneasy, so she didn't leave.

She glanced at the two people outside, and then said to Li Taohua, "My guess is almost right. If nothing unexpected happens, they won't be able to cause trouble, because they will soon collapse internally."

"So don't worry, I can arrange it here, just go with them first." Li Taohua said, "Your mother can handle three of these small characters alone."

Qin Huiyin burst out laughing when she saw Li Taohua raising three fingers.

Tang Dafu and Tang Sanye helped load the truck.

All the items were placed in a large wooden barrel, covered tightly so that nothing could be seen.

The mobile stall is not very big when folded up. There are also folding tables, folding stools, charcoal for later use, a large number of bowls and chopsticks, and bamboo bowls...

Wang and Tang Mingxiu looked at them eagerly as they carried out so many things. But it was useless to look at them, as they still couldn't understand what these things were for.

"Yinyin, are we really leaving?" Tang Luwu was a little worried about Li Taohua and Tang Dafu.

Wang was a fierce woman, and Li Taohua was also strong, but in Tang Luwu's opinion, Li Taohua looked weak and fragile, and could easily be bullied by a fierce woman like Wang.

"These two people are not worth our loss of seven or eight taels of silver." Qin Huiyin said, "Are you willing to let seven or eight taels of silver go down the drain just to deal with them?"

Tang Luwu quickly shook her head: "No, no."

Seven or eight taels, enough for their family to have food and clothing for a year. Although the family has some money saved now, they are so afraid of poverty that they wish they could earn money every day, so they are reluctant to spend the money.

"My mother's fighting ability is still good, more than enough to deal with two women. Besides, isn't your father guarding my mother? If those two women act arrogantly, he will stop them."

"We can go now." Mr. Tang San said, "It's a little later than usual today. We have to hurry up and not delay any longer. Otherwise, after the morning market is over, there will be fewer customers."

"Coming." Qin Huiyin responded.

Wang and Tang Mingxiu watched Qin Huiyin and others leave.

The three children left, leaving only Li Taohua and Tang Dafu at home.

Tang Dafu's family had breakfast early to do business. Other villagers had not yet gotten up, so Li Taohua asked the village chief and Doctor Shi to drink some tea and eat some dried fruits at home.

Every time the village chief showed up at Tang Dafu's house, it was when something happened to their family, and he had never looked closely at their house. Now that he was free and no one was arguing, he had the leisure to observe.

He found that Tang Dafu's house was very well organized and kept very clean. The room was quite complete with everything he needed, and the placement of things was very clever.

Tang Dafu's previous wife didn't have such skillful hands, nor did she love cleanliness so much. Looking at Li Taohua again, the village chief also found the advantages of this woman who made him worry.
