With a shout, the villagers all entered Han Mingyuan's courtyard. Fortunately, the courtyard was big enough, otherwise it really wouldn't have been able to accommodate so many people.
The door slammed shut, and everyone began serving rice. Adults and children worked together, and soon everyone had a bowl of meat.
In addition, there's broth, and also bright orange potato chunks.
The potato chunks were soaked in the broth, and every bite was full of meaty flavor.
Everyone hadn't eaten meat for half a year, and now that they were finally getting to eat it again, especially at Han Mingyuan's house, how could they not be happy?
Han Luoxue also prepared a lot of rice. The charcoal-scented rice with meat was simply delicious.
The seasonings used when cooking the meat are all grown in the Cold Snow Space, making it a unique recipe that fills the air with the aroma of meat.
Outside the gate, the people of Lijia Village were salivating at the smell.
The three Li brothers lay on the wooden plank, their mouths watering so much they kept swallowing their saliva. They even felt that the pain in their legs wasn't so bad anymore.
What kind of meat is this? It smells amazing!
Not to mention adults, even children eat very quickly. Han Luoxue said when she was packing the meat that those who eat fast could order more.
Han Luoxue didn't eat the large pieces of meat; she was gnawing on the bones.
Most villagers still prefer meat to bones. However, Han Luoxue is an exception; she loves spare ribs the most.
Han Luoyu stayed by her side, eating casually.
Seeing the little girl looking preoccupied, Han Luoxue tapped her on the head: "Didn't you just say you were hungry? Why aren't you eating?"
"I, eldest sister, will the people from Lijiazhuang really report this to the authorities?"
Han Luoyu opened her large, clear eyes. Although her expression remained relatively calm, Han Luoxue still felt that something was wrong.
She had seen the three Li brothers being dragged away; their legs hadn't been broken at the time.
But now, the break is complete. The Li family is extremely selfish; would they break their own leg to frame her? The answer is no.
That means that after the three people were dragged out, someone else attacked them.
Han Luoyu did indeed go out for a while.
Could it have been this little girl? Otherwise, why would she be worried about the Li family reporting her to the authorities?
"I won't report it to the authorities, and even if I did, the county magistrate might not care."
When her father was seriously injured, and her family still had dealings with the government, Magistrate Zhu pretended to be dead and did nothing. The Li family here has even less connection with the government, so Magistrate Zhu would only meddle in other people's business if he had nothing better to do.
"But we offended the magistrate just yesterday!" This was what Han Luoyu was worried about. That Magistrate Zhu didn't seem like someone easy to talk to. Maybe she wouldn't bother with anyone else, but since it was their family, this guy was definitely trying to get something out of them.
"It's alright, has the tail been taken care of?"
Han Ruoxue smiled and patted her younger sister's head with concern.
There is a rock.
"Take me there later."
Han Ruoxue had just observed their injuries. She thought they were from stones, but she didn't expect her sister to be so strong.
But that's normal. My sister used to drink a lot of spiritual spring water and use body-strengthening pills, so her body is naturally different from that of ordinary people.
Moreover, she had studied medicine under Master Xu for so long that she had an excellent understanding of human skeletal structure, which made her accurate when she struck.
"If you need anything in the future, just tell your sister. Don't do it yourself."
Han Ruoxue smiled and patted her younger sister's head. Actually, it wasn't good for her sister to hit people, but the Li family members deserved to be hit.
Lady Yun and Han Mingyuan listened without saying much.
Han Mingyuan's feelings were extremely complicated. How could he not know that his daughter was standing up for her? It was his fault as a father, dragging the family down with him time and time again.
If it weren't for his daughter having the medicine, he would still be lying in bed feeling like he's living a life worse than death.
If the bone is fractured and there is no strong anesthesia available, the pain will last for many days.
"It's all my fault for being useless; I need you guys to protect me in everything."
Yunniang also felt guilty; as a mother, she hadn't even thought about protecting her children. Instead, it was her two daughters who were making arrangements outside.
In situations like today, she should have been the one to step in.
"Xue'er, Yu'er, even if someone comes to investigate, just say I did it."
How could a father just stand by and watch his daughter get into trouble?
"You're all overthinking it, Father. The Li family just wants something. We'll send them what they want in a bit."
Actually, the people of Lijiazhuang weren't starving. They were also from Wuling Town and had received Han Luoxue's seeds.
It's just that some people are greedy and want more.
"Xue'er, I don't want to give them the things."
Han Mingyuan's family wasn't short of food; there was plenty of grain and vegetables in the basement. Han Luoxue hadn't collected them yet.
She doesn't plan to keep too many things at home; it's easier to keep good things in the space.
"Father, don't you know me? I wouldn't let them take advantage of me like this!"
Han Luoxue smiled mischievously, her tone exceptionally relaxed: "I'll bring the things back exactly the way they were taken. More, less."
Han Mingyuan thought of Han Luoxue's spatial ability and couldn't help but chuckle. The Li family had better not covet anything, or they'd be crying later.
The people in the outer courtyard ate very quickly. A large, fat pig and six fat sheep were all stewed, and incredibly, not a single bite was left. The little children in the courtyard patted their bellies and excitedly shouted, "We're so full! When can we have another meal?"
The adults would pat their little bottoms, and the children would cover their bottoms and run away.
"You little brats, you haven't even finished this meal yet, and you're already thinking about the next one!"
These words made the child make a face: "Sister Xue's food is delicious!"
Some people pouted in dissatisfaction: "They both have this much meat, but mine tastes better."
The man's voice wasn't loud, and everyone just laughed; no one actually went over to argue with him.
At this moment, many more members of the Li family arrived outside the courtyard, including their village head and Old Lady Li. Of course, they also brought their secret weapon.
Li Aidi saw her three brothers lying on the plank, one leg, though simply bandaged, still bleeding profusely. Bright red blood seeped through their tattered clothes, and her heart ached terribly.
With a thud, she knelt down, sobbing and asking incoherently, "Big brother, what's going on here...?"
This morning, when she heard that the three brothers were coming to ask for something, she was unwilling.
She knew Han Qiang was also hard-hearted, especially since they had injured Han Mingyuan a few days ago. She was powerless in her family, and no one listened to her.
