Liu Duofu looked at the mocking eyes of the onlookers and felt ashamed, so he pulled Mrs. Zhao and asked her to stop talking!
Mrs. Zhao was unwilling to accept this, "No matter what, Zhaodi has been eating food at her parents' house for so long, shouldn't she be compensated?
Niu Cuihua had lived for so long, but she had never seen anyone as shameless as Mrs. Zhao. She was so angry that she laughed.
"Compensation, of course I should. I'll compensate you right now. Let's make a deal. I'll compensate you with the grain today, but we're no longer relatives anymore. Don't come here again! Otherwise, I'll call the police and make you return the money you took from the third brother's wife!"
Mrs. Zhao would never compensate the money, as it had already been spent by her beloved son.
Besides, if she doesn't want to come, then she doesn't have to come. But that damn girl Zhaodi came back without saying a word. She must have known what she and her precious son were planning, and she can't lie to him anymore.
It would be better to take some food home. But to be honest, it’s a waste to feed this dead girl. If I had known earlier, I should have strangled her to death when she was a child.
In the end, the matter ended with the Li family paying the Liu family eighty kilograms of corn seeds as compensation. No matter how you look at it, the Li family definitely suffered a loss, but it was also good to use this little bit of food to buy off such a relative.
After receiving the food, Mrs. Zhao and Liu Duofu happily carried the food home.
This series of operations completely refreshed Li Mingxi's cognition, and Mrs. Zhao was an eye-opener for her.
It turns out that favoring boys over girls is not the most serious problem. The most serious problem is that girls are not treated as human beings at all. Because of Mrs. Zhao, Li Mingxi felt a little sympathy for Liu Zhaodi.
As for Liu Zhaodi, after she recovered from her illness, I don’t know if she figured things out, but she seemed like a completely different person, not as lazy as before.
Housework was no longer thrown all over to Sanni, and she no longer looked for trouble like before, and she never mentioned going back to her parents' home.
Everyone was polite when meeting the Li family. Although they still had some minor flaws, they were tolerable.
What shocked Li Mingxi the most was that this man actually smiled when he saw him, unlike before when he always smiled falsely or showed jealousy. For a moment, no one in the Li family could accept it.
However, after all, this is a good thing. For a while, the Li family was full of joy, and Li Mingxi even felt that the sky was a lot bluer.
Originally, Li Mingxi thought that he had never been to the county town since he was a child.
So, when the second uncle came home that day, Li Mingxi told Niu Cuihua about this matter. Niu Cuihua also felt that the child should go out and see the world, so that night, Li Mingxi was taken to the county town by the second uncle on a bicycle.
Li Mingxi remembered that the literature she had read before said that at that time, scrap yards were full of treasures, so she thought about going to the scrap yard to look for treasures. Maybe if she was lucky, she could find a bargain!
Thinking of going to the scrap yard to hunt for treasure, Li Mingxi got up at dawn the next day. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw his second uncle Li Aidang just coming back from a run outside.
Li Aidang wondered if it was because of the change of place that his niece didn't sleep well last night, so he asked, "Xiaoxi, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"No, Uncle, I want to go to the scrap yard to see if there are any books!"
Li Aidang thought about his niece's academic performance and said cheerfully, "Okay, I'll let Sanmao take you there!"
Li Mingxi was naturally unwilling, but Li Aidang said that it was too chaotic outside and he was worried. In order to reassure his second uncle, Li Mingxi had no choice but to follow Brother Sanmao to the scrap yard to buy books. As for antiques, forget it!
Originally, Li Mingxi thought that the visitor could take the bus, so after eating, he was the first to go out, but unexpectedly he saw Brother Sanmao pushing a bicycle out.
Li Mingxi looked puzzled. "Brother Sanmao, why are you pushing your bike? Why don't we just take the bus?"
Sanmao looked at her silly cousin, thinking that she had never been to the county town before and must have thought that the city was like what was described in the books. She explained, "I pushed the bicycle, of course to take you! We don't have buses here like in big cities!"
Li Mingxi pouted when she heard that. She really didn't want to sit on the back of the bicycle because it really hurt her butt!
Seeing Li Mingxi's expression, Sanmao joked, "Stop pouting! Do you think I want to take you with me? The scrap yard is quite far away, and you're so heavy, I'm going to be exhausted!"
When Li Mingxi heard Brother Sanmao say that he was fat, he immediately exploded and pinched his arm, "I'm not that fat!"
Sanmao quickly begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. Hurry up and get in the car, little fairy."
In this way, the whole journey was spent in the bickering of the two. Not long after, when Brother Sanmao said they had arrived, Li Mingxi immediately jumped out of the car. Although the road was good, her butt still hurt when she got off the car. She took a while to relax before slowly walking inside.
There was a small house at the entrance of the scrap station. Li Mingxi guessed that it was where the gatekeeper lived. Since Li Mingxi said he was going to look for books, the gatekeeper led the two of them directly to where the old books were kept.
The further she walked inside, the more Li Mingxi felt that this scrap yard was indeed a treasure. She had seen quite a few things along the way. Although some of the porcelain and other items were rotten, they were still worth collecting!
"This is it. Find whatever you want yourself." After saying this, the security guard left.
Li Mingxi took a quick glance and found a set of books on mathematics, physics and chemistry. She remembered that in her previous life, her history teacher had said that the questions for the college entrance examination in the year when it was resumed were from this set of books.
Now that I have encountered it, I must not let it go. No matter whether the questions will be asked from here or not, there is very little information these days. It might be a good idea to buy some and take a look at it myself. If the questions are really asked from here, I will make a profit.
Then I thought, if the college entrance examination is really resumed, my cousins will probably need it too. One book will definitely not be enough, so I have to find a few more so that we can study together.
So Li Mingxi took the book and said, "Brother Sanmao, let's look for books like this first. Find a few more! It would be best if we could find all of these books!"
Sanmao was puzzled. "Why are you looking for so many? Isn't one book enough for you? Besides, there's no college entrance exam anymore, so it's all recommended. Who would read so many?"
"Brother Sanmao, I am useful. You will know when the time comes!"
Seeing that she was determined to get it, Sanmao didn't try to persuade her. The book wasn't expensive anyway, so she just went and got it!
Since Brother Sanmao could help him find this book, Li Mingxi wondered if he could find some other books.
She remembered that the article about the period said that many original foreign books were destroyed at that time. She still remembered that when she was in college in her previous life, their English and American literature teacher sounded a little sad when talking about this.
Although she had never seen an English book since she came to this world, this did not stop her from liking it, so in a short while, she found several foreign books.
She even found an original copy of Hamlet. Although she had read it countless times before, she thought it would be a waste to keep the book here, so she might as well take it away.
But what she didn't expect was that underneath this book was a tattered book with calligraphy on it, with a few large characters written on it.
