Chapter 148: Problem
The men in the family have quietly changed.
Boss Li always looked at Mrs. Du with a complicated and indescribable look, and his voice softened when he occasionally spoke to Mrs. Du.
This made Mrs. Du very nervous.
Da Ya and Er Ya noticed these changes and advised Du: "Don't worry, mother. It might be because of what grandma and dad said. Second uncle has been listening to Second Aunt recently."
Speaking of this, Daya felt a little strange.
It feels like Third Aunt is avoiding Third Uncle.
In this family, my third uncle and my third aunt always follow the lead of their husband, and they have a very good relationship.
But she also observed carefully and found that her uncle and aunt didn't seem to be quarreling anymore. It was just that her aunt always blushed when she talked about her uncle recently.
Even ten girls couldn't come up with something like this.
Only someone like Mrs. Du could see through it, so Daya said that she blushed after she figured it out.
"Daya, don't mention this again. I know it. Your grandma must have said something to them."
For example, how much you love your wife.
No wonder Boss Li grumbled to her that night, asking if he could move over and sleep over for a night. She thought that he was tired from drying meat recently, so she refused and didn't share a bed with him.
Later, Daya came in. Boss Li glanced at Daya and the topic turned to whether Daya wanted to see a family.
Her mother-in-law told her not to rush Daya's marriage, and to wait until the family's life gets better before telling Daya, and then find a better family for her.
She listened to him and didn't respond to what Boss Li said. He was quite unhappy at that time.
Erya pointed at her mother's face and whispered to Daya, "Sister, I think Mom is really fine now. Look at her smile, it's just like Aunt San's."
Mrs. Du: “…”
It's still different.
The third brother's wife ate well, but she hadn't eaten yet.
When Wang heard this, she waved her hand.
It’s not accurate to say that I ate well, but rather that I was tired from eating.
Li Laosan didn't know what medicine she had taken wrong recently. She was so tired during the day, and she had to torment herself every night.
I also learned several movements that I had never tried before without any instruction.
Anyway, well... I can't go into details.
Wang wanted to talk to her mother-in-law and ask her to lend her uncle's room to her husband for a few days, but she was really helpless.
But it’s not easy to talk about this kind of thing.
Yuan also had the same distress. At first, she thought that the man was considerate and capable, and there was hope for a third child...
Ten days passed, and Yuan let out a long sigh, her period finally coming.
When the three brothers met again, seeing his two younger brothers with bruises under their eyes but full of vigor, the eldest brother Li felt very sad...
…
Under the management of Li Laoer, the people on the wasteland divided the work like ants. The half-grown children were like worker ants that went out every day to look for food. They carried a small basket on their backs, and when the basket was full of stones and could not carry it anymore, they would carry it to the corner where the stones were piled.
The supervisor here is Dadaner, Gao Xingxing is also in his team and is one of his most obedient younger brothers.
Erdan was in charge of registration. He was right here at the pile of stones. Every time the children brought a stone, he would scratch a line on different leaves. Each child had to pick up at least five baskets of small stones every day to get five cents. Erdan would also watch over them. If anyone was so busy picking up stones that they accidentally stepped under a big rock, Erdan would loudly remind them to stay away.
A dozen adults, led by Gao Chengdong, worked hard to chisel stones every day. When they finally managed to break a piece, Li Laoer would stand by and remind them loudly.
"Be careful, everyone, get out of the way. Be careful of rocks falling and hitting people!"
Qin Fangci specifically instructed this point. It doesn't matter if the progress is slow. Safety is the most important thing. If something happens to someone, she will find trouble with Li Laoer.
The entire Liantang Village was busy and bustling, and the people in the neighboring Dongshi Village were envious and jealous.
In this lively atmosphere, Mrs. Du's stomach started to suffer.
Early that morning, several people from Dongshi Village came to Lao Li's courtyard together.
The leader, Li Xing's wife, took advantage of the fact that she had the same surname as the Li family and came up to her and called Qin Fangci "Auntie" affectionately.
He also said that one could not write two Li characters with one stroke, so they were supposed to be family and should not have different opinions.
I came here with Li Xing's wife, but I didn't expect her to be so shameless.
"You are such a shameless woman. Aunt Li, don't listen to her nonsense. Our men are good at work."
Another woman echoed, "Aunt Li said before that we hire people based on their character. Now that you know your last name is Li, why haven't I seen you, a Li, bring Aunt Li gifts during festivals?"
The surnames of the people in Dongshi Village are not as complicated as those in Liantang Village, but the intrigues between the several major surnames are comparable to several palace fighting dramas.
That's a harsh thing to say.
Li Xing's wife and the Zheng family's wives started arguing.
When the Zhang family wives saw the two people arguing, they were secretly happy in their hearts, walked around a few people and grabbed Qin Fangci's arm.
Qin Fangci shook off her arms and said, "If you want to talk, just talk properly."
"Aunt Li, we don't have any bad intentions. We just want to have a good talk with you."
The Zhang family's wives came with a mission, which was to cram the Zhang family members into the workshop and want the Li family to wholesale tofu to the Zhang family and sell it.
Several daughters-in-law were pulling people, and Qin Fangci broke free on one side, but was pulled by someone on the other side.
Wang carried Sandaner and Li Laosan to the fields.
Li Yulan took Daya to the village chief's house to borrow the kitchen to braise the pig's head.
Yuan and Li Laoer's eldest and second brothers were both in the wasteland.
At home, there is Big Brother Li who is busy drying meat in the kitchen, and Erya who is in charge of making the fire.
Then there was Mrs. Du who was pregnant, San Ya who had an injured arm, and Si Ya who was picking at the mud on the ground.
Seeing Qin Fangci being entangled by someone, San Ya and Siya were very anxious. Du bent down with great effort and grabbed San Ya, who was taller than her, but failed to grab Siya.
Si Ya rushed forward like a cannonball and used brute force to push the two Zhang family wives away.
Mrs. Du looked anxious, "Si Ya, come back, mother, be careful...ah..."
For some reason, Mrs. Du's legs suddenly became weak as she walked over.
At the moment she was about to lunge forward, she turned her body sideways, held her stomach tightly with both hands, and used one arm to support her side before falling down.
The arm hit the compacted earth, making a crisp sound, along with Du's cry of pain.
All the noise stopped.
San Ya felt like her heart had stopped beating. She opened her mouth and paused for a breath before she let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"Ah—Mother! Mother!"
Erya, who was making the fire, rushed out from the kitchen.
Those hands that were holding Qin Fangci shrank back as if they were scalded by boiling water.
"What's wrong? What's going on? What's that noise?"
Boss Li kept an eye on the pot while looking towards the door.
"Ah, it's bleeding!"
The people at the door were so frightened that their faces changed and they took a big step back. They didn't touch anything.
"Auntie, auntie, let me call you."
Si Ya stumbled back, tears in her eyes, and was extremely scared.
