When I woke up the next morning, everything was normal.
The adults went to do what they had to do, either going to the dock or embroidering, and the children who were going to school also left.
The remaining children finished all the work inside and outside the house and then had free time again.
After whispering to each other, they all wanted to make money for their families, so they went to learn embroidery from the adults. Wulang, Liulang and Tuzi all learned quite well.
Yuan and Xingzi spent most of the day learning only how to avoid pricking themselves, which is very easy, just try not to embroider.
These two kids are outstanding in other aspects, whether studying or cooking, they can do anything, but when it comes to doing things that require patience, they are as stupid as a rock, especially Yuan.
It's not that they can't learn, it's that they can't sit still. If you ask them to go to the mountains to chop wood and dig wild vegetables and work for a year, they may be fine, but if you ask them to sit there and embroider flowers for half an hour, it would be like asking their life to end.
Those were the people who were walking around the streets and alleys and watching the fun in the village. They were fine when they were young, but now they have become more and more naughty. Wherever they sit, they look like a suffering monkey, scratching their ears and cheeks, looking so uncomfortable.
Everyone in the room looked at it with disgust.
The two crying children who had been stabbed were driven out soon after.
I originally wanted to let the rabbit go with us, but the rabbit surprisingly liked this and lost interest in playing.
In the end, only Yuan and Xingzi walked away, holding up their painful fingers and sniffing their noses.
Although they were allowed to go out and play, the adults made it clear this time that they were unfamiliar with the area and if they left the house and the alley, they would be considered running far away.
So Yuan and Xingzi can forget about running around like they did last time.
But the two children were happy just jumping on the steps at the doorstep. They would do anything as long as they were not allowed to stay in the house embroidering.
Not to mention that they can only play outside the house, even just sitting outside the house and freezing is better than pricking their fingers.
What’s more, there is still excitement to watch now!
Two children were clinging to the wall in front of their house, looking towards the door of a neighbor diagonally opposite.
When Lao Fu's family was bustling all day long, there was no moment of peace and quiet. The neighbors on both sides were also noisy all day long. There must be at least five or six people in one family.
Only the house across the street seemed deserted all day long. I never heard anyone talking and the door was often closed.
Everyone thought that no one lived next door.
At this moment, the door of that house was open.
A beautiful older sister was standing at the door talking to an older man.
The sister called the man second uncle.
But the man called my sister a whore raised by a whore.
Yuan and Xingzi are no longer the simple Yuan and Xingzi from Daxi Village. They have heard a lot of people swearing along the way and know that it has a bad meaning.
The two kids frowned and listened for a long time.
The man tried to break into the yard several times but was stopped by the sister. However, he did not give up and reached out to pull the sister's clothes. Yuan and Xingzi almost cried for help.
But the elder sister started to yell about molestation first, saying that she wanted everyone to come and see the man's true face, even her own sister-in-law and niece.
After shouting several times, each one louder than the last, the man became a little scared and stomped his feet, shook his sleeves and walked away cursing.
"Why does he want this yard from you? Is this yard his?"
After driving the people away, Li Tian wanted to go back, but she heard a childish voice behind her. When she turned around, she saw two pretty girls holding hands.
Yuan scratched his head and although he felt bad, he still asked curiously:
"Sister, is he a bad guy?"
Li Tian was stunned, staring blankly at the empty sky for a long time, straightened her clothes, and then smiled at the two children:
"No, to be honest, I'm the bad guy who robbed people's houses."
Yuan and Xingzi looked at each other.
Li Tian seemed to be in the mood to chat. She sat on the steps and motioned for the two children to sit down as well.
Then the two children listened to a story which they could not quite understand.
Li Tian's story is very simple. She is the only daughter of the eldest son of the Li family. At that time, the family had some money. After her grandparents died, the family belongings and money were divided equally between their two sons, namely Li Tian's father and second uncle.
Li Tian's family bought this yard. Later, her father died and her second uncle came to ask for the yard, but she and her mother were unwilling to give it, so they quarreled every few days.
Yuan asked her in bewilderment:
"Isn't that yard yours? Why give it to him?"
Li Tian explained to her with a smile:
"Because my family has no male heirs, this yard was bought with the Li family's money, and it should be given to the descendants of the Li family."
Xingzi was also confused: "Aren't you a descendant of the Li family?"
Li Tian held her chin and said in a faint voice:
"Yes, I am, but I am going to get married. If I get married, won't this yard become someone else's sooner or later?"
Yuan and Xingzi stood there with their mouths half open.
Li Tian added, "Besides, my mother has remarried. If I don't take the yard back, what if it is occupied by those irrelevant people from my stepfather's family?"
The two children always felt that this was wrong.
"But this is your house! How can you let him take it back? What right does he have to do that?"
Yuan didn't know what to say, he just felt that it didn't make sense to go back to the house!
Xingzi also felt depressed and kept repeating the same thing:
"You are also a descendant of the Li family. So what if you take the house with you when you get married? Isn't it enough to not let your stepfather's family occupy it? How can you give it to him? You shouldn't give it to him!"
The two children didn't understand and were shocked.
Why, why should the house be given to my second uncle after my father dies?
Li Tian shook her head and smiled at them with curved eyebrows:
"They are really two brats. Second Uncle and his family are legitimate descendants of the Li family. Even if this matter is brought to the attention of the clan elders, they are still in the right.
At most, I can let them support me before I get married.
But my second uncle is a man who would rather die than let him raise me!"
Yuan suddenly thought of something and said:
"Then sell your house and go! Run faster! And buy a house somewhere else!"
This is even more childish. Li Tian is alone and can't sell the house, nor can she leave, and she can't give the house to her second uncle's family, otherwise -
"If I give it to them, where should I go? My mother doesn't want me anymore, so I can't give him the house. Even if I give it to him, it has to be after I get married."
Li Tian loves to laugh and talk. She was having a great time chatting with Yuan and the other two kids. Until the neighbor on the left of Yuan's house came out to splash water, and when he saw her, he pouted and said to Yuan Xingzi:
"Hey! Those two kids, go home quickly, stay away from her and don't learn bad things from her!
The mother of the family is not a good wife, the daughter looks like a fox, and she is still clinging to the house. What a bunch of bastards! "
The man cursed a few words and went back to the yard, still yelling and teaching his daughter:
"Nier, you don't have to learn from her. You have to be obedient in the future, okay? Don't be like her, because her uncle's family can't harm her!
She always shouts that her second uncle wants to molest her, but she doesn't even look at her own character. She smiles at everyone and is not a serious person by nature. Can she blame others for her mistakes?
My mother is not a faithful wife. She dared to remarry just two years after her husband died. How can my own daughter be any better? I'm afraid that my mother has been involved with someone else for a long time!
It's hard to say whether it's the child of the Li family! It's a worthless waste. She thought she could take the house away as a dowry.
If the old couple of the Li family were alive, they would have beaten her to death..."
Li Tian's smile gradually faded. She became a little uneasy, tugging at the corner of her clothes and fidgeting.
The two children felt that the anger was rising to their heads.
Yuan was so angry that he almost went crazy. He didn't know how to argue, and he didn't know why he was angry. He could only jump up and push away with both hands:
"Go ahead! Old lady! Give it back to you! Give it back to you!"
As if this could push back on what that person said.
Xingzi looked at the maddened Yuan in shock:
"Why are you calling her aunt? Go ahead and scold her!"
Yuan maintained his posture of pushing hands and said in embarrassment:
"I'm so angry, how did you curse me? Remind me now!"
Xingzi grabbed her hair, "It's over! I can't remember! What should I call someone when I curse at them?"
The two kids were extremely anxious. Whatever they feared would come true. They were not afraid of anything else but being scolded and then regretting it when they needed it.
They were all so angry. Should they just rush over and beat him up? Would they be unable to do it? !
Yuan and Xingzi were extremely anxious.
Seeing their anxious looks, Li Tian chuckled with tears in her eyes and whispered:
"Hush! Don't mess with her. Auntie Fang is the most ferocious. No one in these alleys dares to mess with her. If you mess with her, what if she blocks your door and scolds you?"
A Yuan clenched his fist and said, "Then let grandma beat her to death with a hammer!"
Xingzi also said: "The more she scolded, the harder grandma would beat her!"
The two children looked very confident. It was obvious that they had a very powerful grandmother, who probably had a very good relationship with them.
Li Tian looked at them with some envy, then stood up and touched their heads:
"It's windy, don't catch a cold, go home quickly!"
Li Tian returned to the courtyard and smiled at them when closing the door.
There was not a single ugly part on his body, even though he was wearing very shabby clothes.
Yuan and Xingzi were so envious.
"It's so beautiful!" Yuan almost drooled.
Xingzi: "How can it be so beautiful!"
The last big sister who was this pretty was Wan Niang, but these two are obviously not of the same kind of pretty.
But their fates are all equally miserable.
Wan Niang's life is a pity, while Li Tian's life is not sweet at all.
It's even a bit bitter, like a half-ripened melon.
