As soon as Li Wangming left, Zhou Lanhua took Dazhuang's hand, carried Xiaozhuang, and turned to leave. She didn't want to give away the money her husband had worked so hard for to build some kind of ancestral hall; it was their family's money!
Li Wangshui glanced at his eighth great-uncle, sighed, and then turned and left with Zhou Lanhua, who was waiting by the roadside.
Seeing Li Wangshui leave, Ma Zi and Wei Zi turned around and wanted to follow him, but their family members grabbed them.
Seeing his second uncle holding his hand, Ma Zi had no choice but to look up at his second uncle and say a single word: "Money."
Ma Zi's second uncle immediately remembered the money Ma Zi had brought home on the two occasions, the soft quilt on the kang, the salt jar in the kitchen, and what Ma Zi had told him about Li Shiyue's plan to build a paper mill and a school for the children.
Let's go.
Ma Zi and his second uncle's family went out, and Wei Zi immediately bent down and picked up his nephew, saying to his mother, "School!"
In this way, the whole family left.
Dog Lao San crouched down, hoisted his aunt onto his back, and nimbly went straight out the door.
If he hadn't been worried about bumping into his third aunt in the crowd, Dog Lao San would have left long ago.
As for Yangzai and his family, who were originally from a minor clan in Lijia Village, they didn't hesitate at all and just walked away.
What is the relationship between the Li family's ancestral hall and the Yang family?
Meanwhile, Erdan's mother, holding Erdan, watched the spectacle from the sidelines. Seeing the expressions of the Li clan members opposite her, she smiled, finally venting her anger!
You know, when she first came to Liujiatun, even when she went to fetch water from the river, she could hear women saying that she was a jinx to her husbands, and that she couldn't bear the hardship and would definitely remarry. They said that when that happened, she wouldn't want Erdan anymore, and Erdan would have to be raised by their clan.
She hated it so much, she was so angry her teeth were itching!
So when the barbarians came, and Li Shiyue asked who was willing to stay and fight the barbarians with her, she immediately stepped forward!
Erdan was the child she prayed for from all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens; how could she not want him?
If Li Shiyue, a mere woman, can kill, why can't she?
Erdan's mother chuckled twice at the women who had gossiped about her before carrying Erdan toward the door.
Looking at the suddenly empty courtyard, at Uncle Ba's pale face from the pain, and at the severed finger that had been picked up, Li Youfu felt a mix of emotions.
If Eighth Uncle's life was at stake, he would have to endure the agony of being branded with a hot iron to stop the bleeding, but the pain was real.
After thinking for a long time, Li Youfu asked Yu Zhenniang to find paper and pen. He wanted to write a letter to Li Shiyang and tell him about what had happened that day.
Li Youfu had long regretted it; he truly regretted it. He never imagined that Li Shiyue would actually dare to draw her knife in front of everyone!
You should know that in the past, every time Li Shiyue saw him, she would bow and greet him as "Grandpa Fu".
That was the time I asked him in front of others, "Are women allowed to enter this ancestral hall?"
These words made him lose face in front of everyone. After all, what he meant was that he could use you and order you around, but you were not worthy to stand with men.
But at the time, they really needed Li Shiyue to lead people to the mortuary to transport the corpse, so he didn't say anything and ignored what he said.
Afterwards, Li Shiyang did mention Li Shiyue's visit to him regarding the trade market, but at the time he was still thinking about Li Shiyue going up the mountain to dig up and build a tomb for Li's father. In his mind, women not only cannot enter ancestral halls, but they also cannot dig up graves or offer sacrifices.
Why?
Because Li Youfu and his men genuinely believed that women were unworthy!
When a woman menstruates, she bleeds, which is considered unclean and dirty.
Ancestral halls are for men, and genealogies are for men to pass on their lineage!
woman?
Women are merely tools for men to continue their lineage!
They have no idea that a woman can't have children if she doesn't menstruate.
It's just the face of those who benefit from the status quo.
Li Youfu was furious that Li Shiyue had actually dug up his father's grave on the mountain.
He hated Li Shiyue for breaking the rules and damaging his dignity as the clan leader!
He wanted to teach Li Shiyue a lesson!
He and his eighth great-uncle took advantage of the occasion of dividing the clan between Li Wangming and Li's father to tie Li Shiyue to Li's father, making her obedient, and wanted to threaten her that if she did not bow her head and obey, then the Li clan would not want her!
But who knew!
Who knew! Li Shiyue didn't even deign to have the surname Li!
Without a moment's hesitation, she chopped off Eighth Uncle's finger, her words filled with dissatisfaction and fighting spirit!
He saw it all. When the members of the Li clan saw their eighth uncle's severed finger, they were so frightened that they fell silent and didn't dare to make a sound.
She no longer dared to say to him arrogantly, "She's just a little girl!"
"She's just a little stronger, does she think she'd dare kill us?"
Now, Li Youfu and everyone else know that she really dares to kill them!
Li Youfu regretted it. Now all he could think of was finding Li Shiyang and seeing if Li Shiyang had any ideas.
Another reason for Li Youfu's regret was the relationship between Li Shiyue and General Liu Tan, which Li Shiyue mentioned. He did know that Liu Tan was impressed by Li Shiyue's great strength and wanted to recruit her into the army!
"What should we do? What should we do!"
Before Li Youfu's letter could reach Li Shiyang, the next day, Li Shiyue, who was full of energy and ready to take the household registration certificate and ride out on horseback, arrived with Ma San and his men!
Faced with the cartload of gifts following behind Ma San, and the wooden box that Ma San handed over, Li Shiyue was truly bewildered.
“The things on the carriage are gifts that the General’s wife prepared for your family. This is what the General is rewarding you for presenting the map to us,” Ma San said to Li Shiyue, pointing to the contents of the wooden box.
Just as Li Shiyue opened her mouth, Ma San raised his hand to indicate: "I know, you offered that to the general for free."
But how could our general mistreat his own people?
"Just take what the general gave you."
Li Shiyue invited Ma San into the house, and Li's mother served tea. This tea was brought home by Li Wangming this time, and Li Shiyue had no idea that she should buy it.
"After reading your letter, the general immediately had Mr. Chen find all the carpenters in Sanshan County. They worked day and night, burning the midnight oil, and managed to make both items."
At this point, Ma San became somewhat excited. He had gone to the fields with Liu Tan to test these two things, and who would have thought they would work so well!
When combined, the same person can finish the same piece of land twice as fast as before!
If a strong adult practices and learns the method, their speed will increase by more than twice as much as before!
Three or four times is definitely possible!
What's this?
This is a divine artifact!
By saving manpower, more land can be cultivated, more food can be grown, and more people can be fed.
With people, you have everything!
Therefore, Liu Tan specially sent Ma San to deliver silver to Li Shiyue in order to express his gratitude!
Li Shiyue readily accepted the gifts and money; she deserved them!
Then, with a slightly embarrassed look on her face, she said, "Deputy General Ma, I have a bit of trouble here, and I need your help."
