Old Mrs. Li was hit without noticing for a moment, and a fingerprint quickly appeared on her face.
"ah!"
"You dare to hit me."
Old lady Li never thought that the old man would dare to fight with her, ever since she hooked up with Li Gui, whose husband just passed away.
She was never slapped again. After so many years of good life, she had forgotten the life when she was treated like livestock in her parents' home.
The slap from old man Li was like stirring up a hornet's nest.
Regardless of the fact that her arm had not been bandaged yet, Mrs. Li stood up from the stool and scratched Old Man Li with her good hand.
Since Old Lady Li didn't do much work, her nails were quite long, and after just a few scratches, several bloody scratches appeared on Old Man Li's face.
"You crazy bitch."
Old man Li felt hurt when he was grabbed, and he subconsciously pulled his hand away. However, he failed to control the force and caused secondary damage to Old Lady Li's arm.
The village chief didn't think he was just going to buy a house, but instead watched a farce of a couple fighting and yelling at them: "If you keep fighting, get out of the village."
The words of the village chief were so intimidating that the two of them separated immediately.
Not wanting to continue watching this terrible thing, the village chief made a prompt decision and went home as he said.
Old man and old lady Li were afraid of being kicked out, so they had to nod in agreement.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Li Mengyue quickly took out the paper and pen she had prepared in advance.
"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm a good person. Please help me write a family letter."
The village chief looked at the paper and pen in front of him and knew that things had come to this point, so writing a family letter was nothing.
Since he became the village chief, he has written many public articles, but he has never written a family article.
But he also knew how to write, so he wrote with a flourish of his pen, and in just a few moments, the three family letters were finished.
After the village chief signed his name, Li Mengyue quickly picked it up, put it in front of her father, and motioned for Li An to sign.
Ang Lee signed his name without hesitation.
After hearing this from Old Man Li, he looked at his second son, trying to make a final attempt to keep him.
But Li An had long given up any hope for his father, so he turned his head away and simply pretended to ignore it.
Old man Li had no choice but to sign his name on it.
The village chief gave one copy of the family book to Old Man Li and one to Li An, and he kept the remaining copy.
In this way, Ang Lee and his parents started a family.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, the village chief was about to leave when Li Mengyue stopped him.
"Grandpa Village Chief, are there any vacant houses in our village? I want to rent them first."
"Yue girl, even though my house is empty, you can still live here. You don't have to move."
"Grandpa Village Chief, I understand your good intentions, but I still want to move out. I'm afraid I'll be sold off again when I sleep at night."
Village chief Li heard about Yue being sold, but he was not very clear about it and wanted to know more about the details.
Hearing Li Mengyue mention this, he realized the seriousness of the matter. After a moment's thought, he said to Li Mengyue, "There are a few unoccupied houses on the east side of the village. They are the village's property. You can move in first."
"Okay, thank you, Village Chief. I'll pay the market price."
Village Chief Li wanted to refuse the money, but he remembered that there were only a few hundred dollars in the village account. He said uncomfortably, "One hundred dollars a month, oh, no, eighty dollars will be enough."
Li Mengyue knew that life was not easy for the people in the village, and she also knew that the village chief would not ask for rent if possible.
She was not short of money, so she would not bother about a mere twenty dollars. She simply said, "Grandpa Village Chief, it's just one hundred dollars."
The village chief knew that it hadn't rained for several months and that the grain production would decrease next year. He wanted to increase the village's income if he had the chance, so that he could provide assistance to needy families when needed.
You should know that people die of starvation and freezing in Wu Village every year.
Especially in winter, when it snows heavily, some villagers' houses will collapse under the snow, and whole families will freeze to death while sleeping.
As the village chief, he was unable to lead the villagers to live a good life, and he blamed himself every time he encountered such a situation.
Taking the one hundred yuan given by Li Mengyue, the village chief looked at the sky and walked away worriedly.
When the villagers saw Li An coming out, they all went home with their bowls in hand. They wanted to rest for a while before going back to work in the fields in the afternoon.
Even though the rice in the fields was wilting, no family was willing to give up. Instead, they worked harder than before, just hoping to produce more food.
Li Mengyue saw the village chief off, turned around and went to her parents, telling them that they were going to move to the empty house in the east of the village.
In fact, after such a quarrel with his family, Li An didn't really want to continue living at home.
Everyone was constantly seeing each other, and there was always some awkwardness. Now that he had a new place to go, he naturally agreed.
After settling the house issue, Li felt relieved when her daughter came over and began to go into the house and pack up her things.
However, in the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Li, with the help of her daughter and son, packed up all her belongings.
Knowing that the old house would not give anything else, Li Mengyue carried her father, mother and two younger brothers, carrying clothes and quilts, and went to the house on the east side of the village.
The family came to the house at the foot of the mountain and saw that the house was in a dilapidated state because no one had lived in it for a long time.
I saw that the yard was full of weeds, some of which were even taller than my calves.
Li Mengyue put her father down, picked up a wooden stick from the side, and knocked on the grass for a while to make sure there were no snakes or insects before going in.
Although she is not afraid of these things, now that her parents and brother are here, she has to consider their safety.
Entering the house, Li Mengyue looked at the room on the left. There was a big hole in the roof. When she went to bed at night, she could look up and see the starry sky.
Although the weather is not cold now, living in such a room is a bit romantic and needs to be repaired as soon as possible.
The house was indeed very shabby, but what satisfied Li Mengyue was that there were enough rooms. Her parents lived in one room, her two younger brothers lived in one room, and she lived in one room. There was also an empty room that could be used as a storage room to store things that were not used in daily life. There was also a kitchen on the west side.
At present, it is enough to serve as a place to stay in the short term.
The only thing that bothered her was that there were no tools for weeding. She was extremely reluctant to pull it all out by hand.
Just as she was thinking of going to her neighbor to borrow some weeding tools, she heard someone talking outside.
When I walked out, I saw my uncle and aunt with their two daughters, cutting the grass in the yard with sickles.
