After hearing her father's words, Han Luoxue realized that it made sense. She had always thought that everything would be fine if she went over to do it at night, but little did she know that there were many clever people in the world.
Before they could say anything more, they suddenly heard the door open outside. Han Mingyuan quickly said:
"It's getting late, you should go and cook!"
"Sister, Doctor Xu said the mountains outside are very clean, and there are no medicinal herbs at all."
They went out, but Doctor Xu and his team returned empty-handed. Han Luoyu looked disappointed.
"It's actually quite normal. With so many people wandering around outside, the tree bark has been stripped off."
"By the way, when are we going to plant those sweet potatoes?"
When she came back, she saw that many people had been given sweet potato vines.
"Sister, there's something interesting to see outside, do you want to go out and have a look?"
Han Luoxue shook her head; she had no interest in excitement.
"I heard that the village head is going to drive his wife away."
"I feel that life is too boring, so it would be nice to go out and see the world."
Han Luoxue immediately changed her mind, and Han Luoyu covered her mouth and chuckled. She grabbed Han Luoxue's arm and ran out excitedly.
"Your foot doesn't hurt anymore?"
"It hardly hurts anymore. Dr. Xu said that in at most half a month, my foot will be just like a normal person's."
"Thank you, sister."
The little girl nestled her head against Han Luoxue's shoulder and rubbed it against her.
Han Luoxue rolled her eyes speechlessly:
"Your foot is healed, you should thank Doctor Xu, why are you thanking me?"
Han Luoyu didn't speak; she knew that some things were better left unsaid.
She remembered that Dr. Xu had said that her foot should not be able to recover.
Her legs are the same as her father's.
But what's amazing is that they both recovered.
Doctor Xu was also very curious, but she knew it was because of her sister.
The water her sister gave her to drink changed her feet after they moved in.
My sister has many amazing qualities, which she understands but doesn't say much about.
The two soon arrived at the village head's house, where many people were watching the spectacle.
Old Mrs. Han grabbed Li Aidi's hair and cursed viciously:
"You heartless bastard, how could you be so cruel? You took my grain, but you promised me sweet potato vines!"
...
Let's go back half an hour.
Han Qiang took the sweet potato vines home, and everyone else followed.
Of course, only a few team leaders went into the courtyard; the rest waited outside to be assigned tasks.
Almost every household in their Hutouya Village signed up.
Han Qiang carefully counted the sweet potato vines; there were 990 in total. They were to be distributed among 71 families, with each family receiving thirteen vines.
As for the extra portion, he and the captain divided it among themselves.
No one had any objections, but the number of households was incorrect.
There was no Han family member among them. Li Aidi was terrified when she heard that.
When Old Mrs. Han heard that it had nothing to do with her, she jumped out in anger:
"We're all from Hutouya Village, and the Han family is also from the village. Why shouldn't we get it?"
"Han Qiang, we haven't really offended you, have we? Why do you always seem to be going against the Han family?"
Grandma Han finally understood that Han Qiang was in cahoots with Han Luoxue. She had been feeling quite aggrieved, but now that everyone in the village was here, what did she have to be afraid of?
"Honey, Sister-in-law Han is right. I think we should include them in the calculations."
"And didn't they contribute thirty jin of grain to the village a while ago?"
When Li Aidi heard that each family could only have thirteen sweet potato vines, she panicked.
She thought that not many people were planting them, so how could her family possibly get twenty or thirty trees? But who would have thought that they could only get this many? What about what she promised Grandma Han?
Old Mrs. Han is not someone to be trifled with. If she doesn't handle this well, this guy could make a scene known to everyone in the village. It's a small matter if Li Aidi's reputation is damaged, but it's a big deal if Han Qiang kicks him out.
The key point is that the two jin of grain she received had already been sent to her parents' home, and they've probably already started eating it.
"Hmph, was that her contribution? She was punished for it."
Han Qiang curled his lip in disdain, glared at Li Aidi, and warned, "These sweet potato vines belong to Xue Yatou. You know how Old Madam Han treats Xue Yatou's family. How can I give her things to the Han family?"
After saying that, he turned to look at the team leaders and said, "If you're not satisfied, then don't divide it up."
The group shook their heads repeatedly. There weren't many sweet potato vines to begin with, and the family was counting on them for food.
Now that everyone is starving, they want to give it a try.
Seeing that no one agreed, Li Aidi's eyes turned cold. She tugged at Han Qiang's sleeve and whispered, "Honey, as the village head, you must be fair and impartial. If you exclude the Han family, what they say outside the village will damage your reputation."
Li Aidi appeared to be concerned for Han Qiang, but Han Qiang knew his wife very well and looked her over suspiciously: "Li Aidi, are you alright? Did Grandma Han give you some benefits?"
Li Aidi shook her head repeatedly in fright. Han Qiang said firmly:
"That's all I'm saying today. These sweet potato vines are not going to Old Han's family. Forget about it."
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Han could no longer hold back. She grabbed Li Aidi's hair and angrily said:
“Li Aidi, you said you would give me thirty trees, and I won’t forgive you if you lose even one.”
The old woman pulled Li Aidi's hair roughly, causing her to grit her teeth and her face to contort in pain. She hurriedly reached out to grab the old woman's hand, but although the old woman was old, she was still quite strong from years of hard work, and Li Aidi struggled several times but couldn't break free.
The crowd watched the two men fighting, unsure whether to intervene or not, and all looked helplessly at the village head. Since he didn't speak, they couldn't very well intervene themselves.
Li Aidi also looked at Han Qiang, wincing in pain, but she still gritted her teeth and shouted, "Honey, pull this crazy woman away!"
Only then did Han Qiang wave his hand, and the crowd stepped forward to separate the two. Old Mrs. Han, hands on her hips, scolded:
"Li Aidi, you took two jin of grain from our family, but you won't give me thirty seedlings. I'll tear you apart today."
Hiss... Hearing this, everyone gasped. The wife of the Zheng family here is really bold; she actually dared to accept the villagers' grain without permission.
The village headman's face turned black with anger upon hearing this. He hadn't expected his wife to be so audacious. Did she think just anyone could take Old Lady Han's grain? She was no pushover.
"Li Aidi, did you really take grain from her? How much did you take?"
Li Aidi lowered her head in fright, not daring to refute. Seeing her guilty look, Han Qiang understood everything.
"You took two jin of grain from her, where did you put the grain?"
He personally managed all the grain in the house. It wasn't that he was stingy, but he knew that if he entrusted the grain to Li Aidi, she would take it all back to her parents' home within two days.
"They sent it back to your parents' house again?"
Han Qiang didn't know what to say.
