Like you said, he won't beat you to death, but if he says that if you don't go, he will tie you up for two days and make you go to the toilet in your pants, what will you do then?
Although the food he has set for you is very low, it is the busy farming season now, and even poor people will eat better and not lose half their lives;
Besides, I didn't ask you to work too hard, so if you really can't do it anymore, can someone hold a knife to you?"
Li Chen fell silent for a moment.
He is not afraid of being beaten, but he is afraid of mental harm.
He didn't know if he would really be tied up for two days if he refused to go to the countryside.
If that were true, he would definitely give in before he could hold his first shit...
After a moment, he complained, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't come up with this bad idea, I wouldn't have to suffer this."
"Although it was my idea, I only asked you to work for a few days. It was Mom who said you should work for half a month. As for the food, you made it yourself. If you hadn't spoken up for the young widow, would Dad have done this?
Besides, if you don't suffer this, you will have to suffer other sufferings, and it might be even more painful and tiring. If that happens, you should thank me."
Li Chen's eloquence was no match for him, and he was left speechless and stood there in a daze.
Seeing him like this, Li Xu said nothing more, stepped into the car and said, "Don't just stand there, get in the car quickly."
Coming back to his senses, Li Chen sighed and sat down.
When he arrived at the Sun family, Li Xu told Mrs. Sun what had happened.
After listening to this, Mrs. Sun couldn't help but say a few words to Li Chen, then took him to a room and asked him to put his belongings.
After putting it away, Li Xu took Li Chen to find Captain Sun and said that he always did things that made people worry at home, so his parents asked him to go to the countryside to do farm work for half a month to calm down.
Captain Sun was naturally very welcome to the free labor. He immediately handed a sickle to Li Chen and asked him to find a place to harvest rice.
After Li Chen left, Li Xu whispered, "Uncle, please take care of him during this period. He has never done farm work except for a few days of picking rice ears in the countryside when he was in school a few years ago. So if he is tired and wants to be lazy, as long as it is not excessive, just turn a blind eye and leave him alone."
After all, he is my brother. How can I let him work himself to death?
And now we can no longer earn cents and put them on others like we did in previous years.
In other words, Li Chen's work this time was purely voluntary, so Li Xu thought there was no need to be so strict with him.
Captain Sun said unhappily, "If we do as you say, when will your brother's temper settle down?"
Although Li Xu didn't tell him the truth, the principle was the same, so he grinned and said, "It's okay this time. My parents said that if he doesn't reform, he will have to come again in the future. And my parents made him work on an empty stomach, so he can't be so tired."
Captain Sun was stunned. "Let him harvest rice while starving? What did this kid do wrong to deserve such punishment?"
He knew that Li Xu's family was not well off. Even if they didn't have a full meal every day, they had to have at least two full meals a day.
Such a family now forces Li Chen to do farm work on an empty stomach.
There is only one explanation: he committed a serious crime, so he was punished.
You know, if the weather is good during the busy farming season, it's okay to be a little lazy.
But if the weather changes, we can't be lazy anymore. People have to work hard to harvest the crops.
In this situation, a hungry person can easily get tired.
He didn't believe that Sun Xiu and his wife, who came from the countryside, would not understand this.
Li Xu smiled and said, "He didn't do anything wrong. It's just that he was too troublesome before, and I didn't expect him to be like this now. So my parents decided to change his temper. Otherwise, when he gets married, it will be difficult for his family to have a stable life."
This was a very good reason, and Captain Sun believed it. "I have no problem turning a blind eye to him, but if it comes to a rush to harvest, I can't do that. If he gets hurt from being exhausted, you can't blame me."
"That's natural. Since we chose to send him here, we must be mentally prepared. No matter how tired he is, we can accept it."
If this situation really happens, Li Chen can only blame himself for his bad luck and there is nothing he can do.
"That'll do."
The two chatted for a few more minutes before Li Xu said goodbye.
However, he did not go home directly. Instead, he found his two uncles first and told them what happened before leaving.
Let’s talk about Li Chen.
He took the sickle to a sparsely populated area, imitated other people's movements, and began to cut tentatively.
Since it was his first time doing this kind of work, his movements were extremely slow. Others had already harvested four or five handfuls of rice before he had even harvested one.
He put the cut rice on the ground, grabbed another handful with his right hand, and slowly started cutting it.
In this way, as handfuls of rice fell to the ground, his movements became more skillful.
At this time, Captain Sun came over with a middle-aged man and shouted, "Xiaochen, come here."
Li Chen walked up to the two men and saw Captain Sun pointing at the man and introducing him, "This is someone from our Sun family. According to seniority, you should call him uncle. From now on, you will be under his control."
Upon hearing this, Li Chen quickly greeted the man, "Hello, uncle."
The man nodded and smiled innocently, "I know everything. Don't worry, I'm here with you. I'm also in charge of your uncle and the others. I'll take you to them later."
Li Chen was a little puzzled. What was there to be relieved about?
In your eyes, I'm here to settle down, so why should I be at ease?
