More than half an hour later, Mr. Liu came back and said as soon as he entered the room, "Xiao Xu, it's done."
Li Xu naturally thanked him repeatedly.
The three of them chatted for a while before Li Xu said goodbye.
After leaving the county government, Liu Gang returned to his home, while Li Xu walked towards the Du family.
However, what he didn't expect was that there was not only Du Feng's father-in-law sitting in the Du family's house, but also other people.
This person is Li Qingxi's uncle.
Seeing him come in, Du Feng quickly stood up and walked in front of him, asking, "Xiao Xu, is everything done?"
"Well, it's done. We can go to the county government to pick him up in an hour."
Hearing this, Du Feng and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Qingxi's father, Li Laosan, rubbed his hands together and forced a not-so-pretty smile onto his dark, honest face. "Xiaoxu, thanks to you this time. I don't know how to thank you."
Li Xu waved his hand and said with a smile, "Uncle Li, we are all relatives. I will definitely not refuse to help you if I can. There is no need to thank you. But when the old man comes out, you must persuade him not to do this again next time, otherwise I will have no choice."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely persuade him."
At this time, Uncle Li took over the conversation, "Xiao Xu, don't worry, I promise it won't happen again."
Li Xu nodded and asked, "Brother Feng, where did Xiao Sen and the others go?"
"At Qi Wen's mother's house."
"Okay, now that we've finished talking, I'll be leaving first."
Then he turned and left, walking towards his home.
night.
He explained the matter during dinner, and after listening, everyone in the Li family was speechless.
After a long time, Li Jiakang said, "Listen to advice and have a full meal."
Everyone agreed with this statement.
...
A few days later, Li Xu learned the news that Li Laosan's family had been separated from his home.
Only then did he realize that at the beginning of the day, only Li Laosan was at the Du family's house. Uncle Li came over only after Du Feng had finished speaking.
At that time, Li Laosan didn't care about the division of the family, but after he went back, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was right, so he brought it up.
Because of this, he was often scolded by several of his brothers.
Fortunately, Mr. Li was a sensible person and agreed.
In the end, they decided to divide the house into four rooms and give them to Li Laosan, and also gave him some of the money from selling the poultry.
Li Laosan is usually a simple and honest person, but at this moment he suddenly became smart.
He knew that there would be conflicts if everyone lived in the same courtyard, so he discussed with several brothers and decided to divide the house among them, but they had to give him some money and help him build a new house.
His brothers had no reason to refuse and agreed immediately, saying that their family could live in the new house until it was completed and then move out.
Excluding Li Qingxi, there are six other children in Li Laosan's family, and together with the couple, there are eight people in total.
Two of the men were already of marriageable age.
In this case, the new house naturally has to be built bigger, otherwise it will not be big enough to live in.
Although Li Laosan doesn’t have enough money, it doesn’t matter because he has a good son-in-law.
Du Feng gave Li Qingxi all the money he had saved since he started working, and also borrowed a hundred yuan from his family.
In this way, not only did they have money for the house, but they also had money for Li Qingxi's brother and younger brother to get married.
Everyone knows that Du Feng had no intention of asking them to pay back the money.
This moved Li Laosan and his wife to tears.
Li Xu also learned a piece of news, that is, in the next three years, Li Qingxi's family will have to pay an additional 30% in agricultural taxes.
Some people may not know what this means.
Let's put it this way, when the drought hit, the first reduction in grain production was roughly at this level...
Fortunately, food can be bought outside now, and the price of food is constantly falling, so they don’t have to worry about starving to death.
However, when the punishment is over, except for Du Feng's father-in-law's family, the money in the hands of the other families will probably be spent, and this may not be enough.
There's nothing they can do about it. It's their fault that they gave the money to Li Laosan for the house.
Although this punishment is severe, it is quite good compared to other farmers who violated the rules.
You should know that many people’s penalties are capped directly, and they have to pay an additional 50% in agricultural taxes every year.
Of course, this is not a random fine, but is determined based on the profits they have gained from illegal operations.
The greater the profit, the heavier the penalty.
In a situation like the Li family's, if Li Xu had not intervened, they would definitely have been subject to the maximum penalty.
August came in a flash.
That night, Li Xu came back from a business trip and found that only Li Ping and his wife and their three children were at home.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Brother, why are there only a few of you at home? Where are the others?"
"Qi Wen gave birth this afternoon, and my parents said they were going to check on her after dinner. I don't know what happened, and they haven't come back yet."
"Give birth? Boy or girl?"
"I don't know. When Du Feng went to Aunt Yang's workplace this afternoon, he said Qi Wen was in the hospital and hadn't given birth yet."
Li Xu nodded, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
While eating, he heard a piece of news from Li Ping that the high-priced bicycles had been cancelled.
This matter had no impact on him, he just listened to it and didn't feel much else.
I just heard that some people who had saved enough money for a car but hadn't bought it yet, hoping for another price drop, were practically in tears when they heard the news...
After finishing his meal and clearing away the dishes, Li Xu rode his bicycle to the Du family.
