Chapter 160 The Li in Li Shiyue is the Li of my Li family, what does it have to do with your Li family?
(Thanks to Gusu Flower Shopkeeper for casting a monthly vote.)
Li Wangming looked at the bespectacled little black dog being held in Li Shiyue's arms with a helpless expression. However, Li's mother explained to Li Wangming from the side, "They are all newborn puppies, they are clean."
Apart from the little black dog in Li Shiyue's arms, the other three dogs in the Li family were all tan.
Stone even held his puppy in his palm and teased it, deliberately sticking his fingers into the puppy's mouth, which hadn't even grown all its teeth yet, causing the puppy to whimper.
While the Li family's house was filled with warmth, Li Youfu from Liujiatun got up from the kang (a heated brick bed), groped for a pipe bowl by the side of the kang, and lit it.
This pipe bowl was a gift from Li Shiyang when he went home last time. The mouthpiece is made of the finest brass; you can tell it's a good thing just by looking at it.
I put some tobacco into the pipe, blew on the tinder, and it lit up in no time.
Li Youfu, who was half-sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), took a deep drag of his cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and then squinted at the light filtering through the gap in the curtains.
He was woken up by the noise. His house was the closest to Old Liu's, and Old Liu's house was also the cheapest near the village entrance. It was just that Li Shiyue was driving back in his car and woke up Old Liu's old dog. The dog barked loudly and woke him up.
Li Youfu was already old, and the famine last year had taken a toll on his health. Not to mention that the only male in the family, Li Shiyang, had become estranged from him because of Li Wangren's matter.
He was also feeling bad.
I thought that now that I've arrived in this new place, I'll be able to live a peaceful life.
Who knew that such a rebellious woman as Li Shiyue would appear!
Li Youfu naturally wouldn't think that Li Shiyue had done a great deal for the people of Lijia Village during their escape from famine. Li Youfu, as a member of the old clan, would only think that Li Shiyue was disobedient and a bad-tempered woman who was difficult to marry.
He had originally planned to use the distribution of grain seeds to his advantage, but little did he know that Li Shiyue would bring Li Wangshui and follow right behind them. The grain seeds were distributed as soon as they were signed and taken out of the county government office.
How can we make Li Shiyue submit from now on?
Li Youfu sat leisurely, smoking out all the remaining tobacco from his pipe, before lying down again.
Regardless of what Li Youfu thinks, life goes on.
The next day, the sky was overcast, the first cloudy day in several days.
Li Shiyue had already delivered two sets of seed drills and curved plows that she had ordered from Qingsong Town. The carpenter didn't charge her a penny and even said he would deliver another set later.
The condition, of course, is that they must use Li Shiyue's blueprints to make seed drills and curved plows to sell for money.
Li Shiyue offered the carpenter a solution: she would pay him the full price for the three seed drills and the curved plow, but in the future, the carpenter would have to give Li Shiyue 10% of the profit for every seed drill and curved plow he sold.
However, Li Shiyue had told him in advance that he could take advantage of this time to find more carpenters to work with, and earn as much as possible before this thing was widely promoted.
In the end, the carpenter thought Li Shiyue was a capable man, so he didn't take the money for the three seed drills and the curved plow. After all, these things were useful, and they were a craft that could be passed down to future generations.
Li Shiyue spent points in the system to find a planting guide, a guide of about a thousand words. Li Shiyue read it several times from beginning to end and decided to follow this method for spring plowing.
But in reality, apart from the little kids, who in Lijia Village doesn't know how to farm?
Even Li Wangming knew about it.
Spring planting and autumn harvest are the two most important time periods of the year for farmers.
Even though Grandma Li felt sorry for Li Wangming's hard work studying in the past, during these two periods, Li Wangming still had to roll up his sleeves and get to work.
Li Shiyue, who was lost in thought while looking at the sky, was awakened by her mother's voice, "Shiyue, let's go, your second uncle has packed everything."
Yes, there is a big thing to do today. Besides helping with the spring plowing at home, the most important thing Li Wangming is to do after returning from the prefectural school is to divide the clan!
Yes, separate clans!
At that time in Henan Province, Li's father accidentally caused the death of Li's grandmother. After Li Wangming beat Li's father, Li Youfu agreed to Li Wangming's words and said that once they settled in Andong, they would separate their clans!
After the branching of the clan, Li Wangming was no longer in the same genealogy as Li's father. Li Wangming formed his own clan and became the ancestor of his clan!
These two brothers, who could have imagined that they would one day split up into different branches of the family?
Li Wangming took his grandmother's memorial tablet with him, and Li Shiyue and Shitou followed behind him. The whole family headed towards Li Youfu's side.
With only the eighth great-uncle remaining among the elders of the Li clan, and the clan head Li Youfu joining them, the matter of splitting the clan was settled in front of the surviving members of the Li clan who were summoned!
Li Wangming knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the memorial tablet of his grandmother, which was placed on the offering table.
That should have been the end of it. This was something that was agreed upon. Inviting the clansmen over was just to be witnesses.
Li Shiyue thought that was it for today, but little did she know that after Li Youfu and Eighth Uncle exchanged a glance, Eighth Uncle stroked his beard, raised his eyebrows, and spoke.
He said, "Wangming has separated from Wangguang, but Wangguang still has children under his command."
Eighth Uncle's words were clearly directed at Li Shiyue!
Li Shiyue was carrying a basket of incense and candles. Upon hearing this, she looked up at her eighth great-uncle.
Just as she was about to speak, Li's mother stood up from the side, tugged at Li Shiyue's arm, and stopped her from saying what she was about to say with a look.
Li Shiyue could only hear one thing in her mother's eyes: "Your mother will take care of everything!"
Li Shiyue was an obedient and well-behaved mother. She stood back with her basket in hand and watched her mother take a step forward. Her mother stood straight and gently raised her head to look at her eighth great-uncle who was speaking.
"If Eighth Uncle wants to see my divorce papers with Li Wangguang, just say so."
That document was written by my nephew Shiyang himself. I have one copy, Li Wangguang has one copy, and the clan kept one copy.
Could it be that Uncle Youfu lost this thing while fleeing the famine?
Li's mother pretended to be surprised and turned to look at Li Youfu. Then she smiled and said to her eighth great-uncle, "Don't worry, I've kept this one very well."
Eighth Uncle, October and Stone have been with me for a long time. I am a member of the Li family!
I have already established a female household here, and my family's relationship with Shiyue and Shitou and Li Wangguang is only nominal.
"It must be that my eighth great-uncle is getting old; he's even forgotten this little thing!"
"Hmph! You've forgotten your ancestors! You're incredibly rebellious!"
So what if you've established a female household registration?
The "Li" in Li Shiyue's name belongs to my Li family. What does it have to do with yours?
