Chapter 74: It is not easy for a divorced person to remarry
When the villagers heard this, they were immediately excited.
This is great. Even children can go pick bamboo shoots. Two cents per pound, and five pounds is ten cents. If you earn ten cents a day, you can buy two pounds of brown rice or dark flour.
I won't join in the fun anymore. I'll quickly ask someone to pick bamboo shoots and ask Li Youshan's family to help process them so that I can have a full meal in the evening.
Those who had mung beans at home also hurried back to pick them.
The few people who wanted to explain were suddenly dumbfounded. If they continued to make trouble, they would be scolded by the whole village.
"No, Village Chief, then we..."
Village Chief Li glared at them and said, "When you were looking down on them just now, why didn't you think about the fact that we are all from the same village?
Besides, I don’t think you will appreciate what the Dashan family has given us. Your families will not be included in the bamboo shoot harvest this year.
If you behave well, you can harvest bamboo shoots next year, or if you get a good job in the future, people will forgive you for the past.
If you dare to cause trouble again, I will have to expel you from the village. The reputation of our Daohua Village cannot be ruined by you guys."
After hearing this, several people had no choice but to leave in disappointment.
Except for Li Youfu, he stared at Li Youshan indignantly.
More than 200 kilograms, two cents per kilogram, is Li Youshan stupid?
There are things that no one wants on the mountain. Even if he charges one cent for two pounds, there are plenty of people picking them. Why does he charge two cents for one pound?
The purchase price is two cents per pound, so if he sells it, even if he adds one cent to the price, he will still have a net income of more than two hundred cents.
How much do you earn per month?
They are brothers, and no matter how he tries to please him, Li Youshan will not tell him how to prepare the bamboo shoots.
Now he is not allowed to harvest the bamboo shoots, and the money is just being earned by outsiders. It's really infuriating.
He gnashed his teeth and said, "Brother, how can you treat your brothers like this? You would rather give the money-making jobs to outsiders than to us?
Your parents and the rest of the family live frugally and are reluctant to ask a doctor to see them when they are sick. Your nephew is still studying. If Xiangrui graduates from high school in the future, he will be able to support you.
Now that you are living a good life, you don't know how to help your brothers. Do you have the heart to watch your parents and brothers suffer?"
Li Youshan frowned and looked at him: "What have I done to you? Why did I watch my father suffer? Whether it was before or after the separation, when did I not send some hunting goods to the old house?
When did you ask me for money under the pretext of being your father and I didn't give it to you? Or did you spend all the money on yourself and didn't pay for your father's medical treatment?
Look at what your family wears, and then look at our family. I think your family makes new clothes every year.
As for my family, we only made some money recently to make a new set of clothes. Have you come to see me after I was injured? Now you are talking about brotherhood. Hurry up and leave. If you want to make money, find a way yourself. "
Li Youfu choked and was about to say something when he was interrupted by the village chief.
“Youfu, everyone in the village knows what you did in the past, and everyone knows what kind of person Dashan is.
If you don't cause trouble, I won't stop you from participating, but if you insist on looking for trouble, you can't blame others. As long as you are fine and don't cause trouble again, I will let you participate in other work in the future. Go back quickly."
Li Youfu was angry, but the village chief had said so to give him a way out. If he continued to make trouble, he would be ungrateful.
I had no choice but to leave angrily.
Village Chief Li and Li Youshan sat in the yard and chatted. Li Wanyue thought of the ink sticks she had left before, turned back to the house, took out two ink sticks, wrapped them in paper, and handed them to the village chief.
The village chief took it and saw that it was an ink stick. He was surprised and asked, "Yue girl, is this the ink you made?"
"Yes, there are just a few left. Wenxuan is also studying in the academy. You can let him use it to practice calligraphy. It's not a very good ink."
The village chief quickly put it down and said: "This piece costs several hundred coins. How can I accept it? You can give it to Xiaoan and Xiaokang."
Li Youshan stuffed it back and said, "Leave it for them. Don't refuse it, brother. It won't cost much to make it yourself."
The village chief took it with a smile, Dashan's family is really getting better.
After thanking him, he stood up and left.
Li's Old House
Li Youfu returned home angrily, and when he saw Old Man Li, he stepped forward and said, "Dad, look at my eldest brother, he doesn't even consider us as a family member. When something good happens, he doesn't think of us, but gives it to outsiders.
His family spends half a tael of silver every day just to pick bamboo shoots. He just needs to tell us, and we pick bamboo shoots for them. He would rather give the half a tael of silver to outsiders than to us. Is there any brother like him?"
Old man Li said sullenly, "This bastard doesn't take me, his father, seriously. He is simply unfilial."
Li Youfu snorted coldly: "He is just dissatisfied with you and mother, and is angry with you. As a son, he has money, but he just watches you suffer at home.
Their whole family made new clothes but didn't even bother to make one for you and mom. It's because you have a good temper. If it were me, I would have gone and made a scene a long time ago."
Old Man Li nagged him impatiently: "Last time I went to make trouble, did he agree? What's the point of you telling me this?"
Li Youfu sighed unwillingly. At this moment, Li Xiumei and Zhou Jiawang hurriedly walked in from outside the yard.
Liu Jinhua asked, "Damei, Jiawang, why are you two here?"
Before the two of them could even greet each other, Li Xiumei said anxiously, "Grandpa, Dad, you have to think of a solution.
My husband went to Ruifulou this morning, but was kicked out by the owner, who said that after such a long time, he still hadn't figured out how to cook the bamboo shoots.
Now the business of Zuixianlou is getting better and better. The clerks in Ruifulou have even reported it to the shopkeeper, saying that it was because of my husband that the bitch Li Wanyue left in anger. Otherwise, Li Wanyue would not have gone to Zuixianlou and would not have been able to steal the business. What do you think we should do?"
Zhou Jiawang forced a smile and persuaded Li Xiumei: "Xiumei, don't make things difficult for Grandpa and Dad. I will find another job."
Li Youfu frowned tightly: "It's all because of that stinky girl Li Wanyue. If it weren't for her, Jiawang wouldn't have lost this job."
Zhou Jiawang took the opportunity to step forward and said, "Dad, I heard that my aunt's sister divorced and returned home, and now there is no matchmaker to propose marriage. It's not easy for her to remarry as she is divorced.
Although our shopkeeper is a little older, he has a good temper and his family conditions are not bad. Why not let Yue girl become his concubine? In this way, she will become the shopkeeper's person, and the way to deal with bamboo shoots will naturally be given to him. "
Li Youfu clapped his hands and said, "That's right, Dad. What do you think?"
Old man Li's cloudy eyes also brightened for a moment. He was right. He should let her get married quickly to avoid instigating the eldest daughter to become alienated from him.
"You are right. I am her grandfather. I have the final say on her marriage. Jiawang, go back and tell Shopkeeper Zhou about this. If Shopkeeper Zhou agrees, I will go and tell the boss about this."
Zhou Jiawang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll go right away."
After saying this, he left happily.
The shopkeeper will not let him go now. He has got the person and the prescription, and he can also make some benefits from it. He is really smart.
