"Mom, I'm leaving first. My wife is picking peas at home and will be back in the afternoon to grind pea flour."

"Jiaxue also has this skill?"

"Of course, my wife is a craftsman."

When Li Mingqing went out after he finished speaking, he met the village chief and several others who had just returned from the county hospital.

As soon as the village chief saw him, he came over and said, "It's really not Minglan's fault. Fortunately you saw it, otherwise I would have to swallow my anger."

"Now you believe it, right? There really is something wrong with He Ming."

Li Minglan said, "I'm really being too stubborn. From now on, I'll have nothing to do with the He family. Let's go our separate ways."

Wu Tong and the village chief looked relieved.

Old Lady Li said, "That's the way it should be. When you're well again, ask Aunt Xu to introduce you to a good one."

"Yes, my girl, I'll ask matchmaker Xu to introduce someone who's pretty good."

If you have been married once, don't look for someone who is getting married for the first time, but the person's character must not be bad.

Li Mingqing arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative and within two minutes he saw Old Lady He come in.

What a narrow road for enemies to meet.

Originally, Mrs. He didn't notice him, but Zhao Xiaoling was cleaning the counter, so she walked towards Li Mingqing.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here every day, Auntie, what are you buying?"

You still need to have a good attitude during work hours.

"Now that you mention it, I remember it. No wonder it looks familiar.

It's really unfair that someone like you can work in the supply and marketing cooperative. You've made our He family a laughing stock.

My son is too embarrassed to go out now, and he must compensate us."

Li Mingqing smiled and said, "I don't agree with what you said. You are too embarrassed to go out. It's your own fault. A good girl came to your house, and in just three years she has become neither human nor ghost, and you still have the nerve to ask for money."

"She hasn't gotten pregnant for such a long time. It's because she stayed at my house and refused to leave."

"The problem with your precious son is that he can't have children even if he remarries."

"You're talking nonsense! I'd rather destroy ten temples than ruin a marriage. Be careful of retribution."

"Your He family has indeed suffered retribution."

Seeing the two of them arguing, Zhao Xiaoling said, "Auntie, what are you buying?"

"Get half a pound of soy sauce."

After handing the soy sauce bottle to Zhao Xiaoling, Mrs. He kept glaring at Li Mingqing.

The He family is indeed a disgrace in the village.

The villagers were talking about He Ming's infertility, so how could the He family marry a new daughter-in-law?

I guess other villages have heard the rumors over the past few days.

Maybe I will have to go to Lijia Village to find Li Minglan in the end. There are a lot of housework at home and no one is doing it.

Mrs. He and He Ming hadn't worked for such a long time that they were unwilling to lend a hand.

The broken bowls and plates at home are still lying on the floor with no one to clean them up.

"I won't bother with you about the rumors you spread about my son. Please help me pass a message to Li Minglan. If she still wants to live, she should take the initiative to return to our He family. Otherwise, she will never be able to return in this lifetime."

Li Mingqing laughed out loud without any hesitation.

I have never seen anyone so shameless. He really treats others as fools.

"You really think I'm a wealthy man, and others have to beg you to come back and work like slaves for your He family."

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. Li Minglan's family will send her here within three days."

"Then you just wait at home."

Old Lady He took the soy sauce that Zhao Xiaoling had packed for her and said to her before leaving, "Girl, the supply and marketing cooperative needs to be more careful about the character of its employees. Li Mingqing is not a good person. He specializes in breaking up other people's families."

Zhao Xiaoling said calmly, "We investigated everything before we started working, and there's absolutely no problem with their work style."

"Everyone knows how to pretend. You have to watch him carefully. He might be up to something."

"Those who spread rumors must be held accountable."

When Mrs. He heard this, she turned around and left without saying anything.

"Ming Qing, who is this?"

"The people in the neighboring village are a long story. There is not a single good person in their family."

I met Ding Shao riding a bicycle when I was getting off work.

"My brother is so unreliable. He actually wants me to pay you back the money he owes you. Mingqing, count it."

"Where have you been? You look exhausted and your trouser legs are covered in mud."

"Going out for the outdoors, taking photos up the mountains and down the rivers."

Li Mingqing counts money so fast that he can even beat a bank teller.

"Ming Qing, you're really good at counting money. Your speed is amazing."

"It's something I've learned through practice, but why is there an extra two hundred dollars?"

"If you have more, just take it. If you have less, I'll make up for it. My brother is alone and has no shortage of money. Besides, your ginseng is worth much more. You're the one who loses out."

"So I've made a fortune."

"I can see that you are a rich person. Your spirit and energy are different from others."

It seems like he has a fortune of tens of thousands.

Li Mingqing was not the kind of person who would treat himself unfairly, so since he had given it to him, he accepted it.

Before leaving, Ding Yi said, "My father asked you to come to our house for dinner. He talks about you more than he talks about my eldest brother."

"Go when you have time."

"I know you're busy. It will be cooler in a few days. Come for lunch at noon."

"Okay, in a few days."

When Li Mingqing arrived at the village entrance, he saw Old Lady Li and Sun Jiaxue cleaning the stone mill in front of the village.

"Mom, you're here so early."

"We both came here on time, just waiting for you to grind the millstone."

Old Lady Li joked.

"That's definitely no problem, just leave it to me."

"Give it a try. If you're good with it, I'll give you all the work from now on."

"I still remember the last time I touched soy milk. I had already learned the essentials last time."

Li Mingqing is very confident.

Sun Jiaxue poured the peas on the millstone. He picked up the narrator's stick, put it on the rope on the graphite and started to push the millstone.

He is indeed very skilled, like a fish in water.

Sun Jiaxue stood by and added peas from time to time.

When Dazhu Niang came over to fetch water, she saw Old Li grinding peas and couldn't help but say, "These peas are really good. Did you buy them or grow them yourself?"

"There's some left from last year's planting, so I bought some more."

"Your Li family is truly unattainable. You grind so many peas into powder like this."

Originally, Mrs. Li wanted to say a few more words to her, but she started to speak in a sarcastic tone after just a few words.

Li Mingqing said, "You'd better take care of your own business. Your bucket is leaking so much that it will be all gone by the time you carry it home."

Upon hearing this, Dazhu Niang's face changed.

The water bucket at home is indeed broken, but unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it. Buying a new iron pipe is not cheap.

This was left behind by Wang Dazhu's grandmother's generation.

"Are you looking down on me? I'm frugal and manage my household frugally, unlike you who are extravagant and wasteful."

"You must maintain this thriftiness. It would be best to wait until all the buckets are rotten before replacing them with new ones."

Can this bucket be used as a makeshift thing?

It's dripping all the way home and I don't know if there will be a scoop left.

Dazhu Niang didn't say anything else and quickly left with the bucket.
