Li Fugui also said: "Yes, we know nothing and saw nothing. If anyone comes to ask, we will say that we went to Qingshan Brigade and let them find it themselves."
Li Zhenguo thought about it and agreed with their statement: "That's right, when I left, I looked carefully and saw some broken bones and torn cotton jackets on the ground.
And their bicycles were there, too, which probably proves that the people were accidentally eaten by wolves and had nothing to do with us."
Li Xiangyang was relieved: "Okay, let's say this. Check the statement with Xiaolu tomorrow and don't make any mistakes."
"Um."
They both nodded.
"Don't go home tonight. Just stay here for one night. I'll ask Youliang to bring you food and bring the two Xiaodouzi brothers over to live with you."
Li Xiangyang spoke when he saw that they looked frightened.
I have to ask Lao Ge to prescribe a prescription for the two brothers to drive away the cold, so that there won’t be anyone to work if they have a fever tomorrow... Li Xiangyang thought to himself.
"Okay, we'll listen to uncle. Now we'll have to trouble brother Youliang." Li Fugui said gratefully.
He had originally planned to sleep here tonight, but he was worried that the Xiaodouzi brothers would not be safe at home alone. Just as he was struggling with the dilemma, he heard the village chief speak.
Li Xiangyang looked at his relieved expression and reminded him:
"You should make a decision as soon as possible. It's not right for your wife to always live in her parents' home.
I say, if you can live together, just live with it. If you can’t, then get a divorce. Don’t delay it any longer. Your home is no longer a home and it’s not a home anymore. How can you, a grown man, live your life as both a father and a mother?
If you really can't make ends meet, I'll introduce you to a widow.
Oh, yes. There is a good young wife who makes tofu in Qingshan Brigade. She just divorced her husband a while ago and now she has opened a tofu shop in the village.
Not only is she good-looking, she's also capable and decent, but she has a little girl. But the girl isn't a problem, she can just sew a few quilts and get married when she grows up."
Li Xiangyang thought of the gossip he heard a few days ago, saying that the couple who made tofu in Qingshan Brigade had divorced. The process was extremely tragic. The man and the mother-in-law almost tortured the young wife to death.
In the end, someone from her parents' family came to get a divorce. As for what happened in between, it was never made public. Anyway, the young wife had a very good reputation, and all the bachelors in the neighborhood were eyeing her. It might be feasible for her to follow Fugui'er!
Li Fugui waved his hand: "Uncle, what nonsense are you talking about? I haven't even divorced yet and you're already trying to introduce me to a new family. His mother hasn't done anything wrong. I'll go pick her up after I finish the road repair work in a few days."
Li Xiangyang didn't care much about other people's affairs. Although he looked down on Li Fugui's wife, he nodded and said:
"Okay, just keep it in mind. Don't treat those two kids like they were picked up. The two Xiaodouzi brothers have obviously lost a lot of weight.
Well, I'll go home first. You two brothers are here discussing growing mushrooms.
Xiaolu has already bought the mushroom spawn and left the book. You can take a look at it first. If you don’t understand, ask tomorrow.”

Li Youliang had just returned from the cowshed and had not even taken off his clothes when his father sent him to deliver food to his eldest brother.
Li Youliang: "..."
Got it. I’ll take off my clothes first when I get home next time!
"After delivering the meal to your eldest brother, go to the cowshed to find your uncle Ge to get some cold-dispelling and calming medicine and send it back. Watch your eldest brother and brother Fugui drink it. They are both very scared tonight."
Li Youliang suddenly became interested: "Dad, what scared them?"
Li Xiangyang: "Children should not interrupt when adults are talking. Just go when you are asked to go. Don't ask so many questions."
"oh……"
Before he left, he heard his father shout, "Remember to bring the two brothers Xiaodouzi to the brigade headquarters as well!"
"knew!"
In this way, Li Youliang took on the task and set out with his lunch box. He first went to the brigade headquarters to deliver food, and then went to the cowshed after finishing the task.
When passing by Li Fugui's house, he did not forget to go in and tell Xiaodouzi to help his younger brother dress, and that he would come to pick them up to live in the brigade headquarters later.
It’s just…when I pass by the west wing, I always feel like there’s a man talking inside, but when I get closer to listen, there’s no sound.
"Strange, did I hear it wrong?" Li Youliang muttered to himself and walked out.
The west wing was the room where Li Caixia was imprisoned. Li Fuguier had always wanted to marry her off, but he hadn't found a suitable one in such a long time, so he could only keep her at home in this awkward way.
After a long time, Li Caixia stopped making trouble. She asked for food on time and went to sleep after eating. She seemed very honest.
So Li Fugui didn't pay much attention to her. He thought that after all, they were siblings from the same mother, so he just raised them like this for the time being. After all, they didn't have to go to the fields to earn work points in the winter.

In the cowshed, Su Qishan's leg was already in a splint, and Meng Qingtang was feeding him soup spoonful by spoonful. His red eyes showed that he had been crying:
"Xiaotang, you have made some progress. Why are you crying like a grown man?"
After taking the special medicine brought by the deer, his legs no longer hurt so much and he was in the mood to make jokes. Seeing his grandson's red eyes, he felt a little distressed and thought of speaking to liven up the atmosphere.
Meng Qingtang didn't say anything, he just pursed his lips and fed him. He decided that from today on, he would move to the cowshed and live with his grandfather.
Seeing that his eyes were like those of a rabbit, Lu Wensheng thought for a moment and called the man out of the house, whispering:
"Those people are already dead, so don't even think about revenge."
Meng Qingtang opened his eyes wide, not understanding how a healthy person could just be gone like that.
Lu Wensheng knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, and explained:
"In the afternoon, I followed them to the foot of Daqing Mountain. Perhaps God felt that they had done too many evil things, so they were eaten by wolves."
Meng Qingtang obviously didn't believe her. He would rather believe that Shengsheng killed the five people and then fed the bodies to the wolves in order to escape investigation...
Of course, he thought so in his heart. Shengsheng had even lost his life for him and his grandfather. How could he repay this kindness...
Also, in the summer, Shengsheng helped treat my grandfather. It was also because of Shengsheng that my grandfather and I had a place in the village chief's office...
The more Meng Qingtang thought about it, the more he felt that he and his grandfather owed Shengsheng too much.
"Shengsheng I..."
Seeing his eyes getting redder, Lu Wensheng quickly spoke up to stop him: "Don't talk, didn't your grandfather sell you to me? We can talk about the rest later, you go in and take care of him first.
As for the matter of the wolf, don't tell anyone else. Just pretend you don't know. I guess the village chief and others have other arrangements for this matter.
I'm going back first. I'm too tired today. I need to go home early and go to bed. Please tell the teacher for me."
