"You, you unfilial daughter who deserves to be struck by lightning! We are your biological aunts, and you didn't dare to challenge us when your father was around. I will beat you to death today, you unfilial daughter!"
Meng Cuilan's aunt immediately stood up and ran straight towards Meng Cuilan.
Wang Yi looked at him with a cold look and kicked Li Shoucheng from behind.
Li Shoucheng looked back at his mother and immediately understood what she meant. He yelled and swung his arm towards her.
“Bang!”
He slammed his palm on the woman's head and shouted, "I'll see who dares to touch my wife!"
"Ah! He hit someone! He's causing chaos! How dare a young son-in-law hit an elder! How unfilial! May the gods strike you down and you die a miserable death!"
Wang Yi frowned and looked at Silly Sister: "Throw it out!"
Silly Sister took two quick steps, grabbing one of the women's clothes in each hand and dragging them forward. A trench was created on the ground, and the two women howled and rolled around, but they couldn't break free from Silly Sister's control.
After dragging them for a long distance, Silly Sister exerted force and the two of them flew out and fell on the side of the road.
"Cui Lan, are you okay? Get up quickly."
Li Shoucheng helped his wife stand up, and Meng Cuilan lay on him and cried loudly.
After bringing the person back and crying enough, he sobbed and said to Wang Yi:
"On the day my grandfather passed away, my two aunts stole the hidden money at home and took it to their in-laws' house. After that, my grandmother was so angry that she fell seriously ill and passed away. My parents sent a letter but they didn't come. Instead, they came and made a scene on the seventh day after my grandmother's death, demanding that my grandparents' property be divided among them. My father was already angry about them stealing the family money, so he drove them away and we have no relatives since then. After that, they didn't even come back after my parents died."
"My brother's family is so poor that they can barely make ends meet. If I hadn't gotten engaged to Shoucheng early on, I'm afraid I would have been sold out by my sister-in-law."
"Now I don't know where they heard about me, and they even come up to me like good relatives to eat and drink for free. How can they be so shameless, wuwu..."
Speaking of which, most of the daughters-in-law that the Li family married were from families without parents, the poorest among the poor.
Otherwise, why would she go to the Li family to get married?
The Li family has no backbone. It is Li Shenggen who leads the whole family to eat, drink and farm. Everything has to be calculated. In the ten years since his father passed away, he has quickly grown into a useful person.
Wang Yi comforted her with a few words and asked Li Shoucheng to take the person back. He thought that it would be time to look for these relatives.
When the village is stable, ask the wives which one they still miss, and bring them to the vicinity of the village. Then they can reclaim a few acres of land and cultivate it themselves, which is better than fleeing the famine.
But it wasn't easy. Everyone in the village had fled, and those who didn't escape were probably left behind on the road. These two women were obviously abandoned, so they found their way here.
"Mom, don't think about it. Just take it one step at a time. We can't even take care of our own family." Li Shenggen sat next to her and watched the whole process. He knew what his mother was thinking about.
"Sheng Gen, I have nothing to worry about. You brothers and your wives are all sensible people. But there is one thing I need to tell you."
"Mom, tell me."
"How many dan do you think we can harvest from the crops we are planting now?"
"I can't say for sure about potatoes and sweet potatoes, but when we used to grow grain, we could probably produce a little over a dan per acre of land."
Wang Yi frowned. She knew it would be very little, but she didn't expect it to be so little.
One stone is about 120 kilograms. Even if one mu of land produces 150 kilograms of grain, it is not much.
They only have about 100 acres of cultivated land, but they will use the rest of the year to reclaim wasteland around them.
"I got some fertilizer in the city. Send someone to spread a small amount on the fields. Try it on the sweet potato and potato fields."
Wang Yi's family's food is still bought by the prince, but if she wants to cut ties with Zheng Yeheng, she must produce and manage it herself.
Sweet potatoes and potatoes must be planted early.
Try using ripening fertilizer on the fields outside.
"Fertilizer? Where is it?"
"It will be delivered tomorrow." Wang Yi had already bought five more carts in the city, and then took out all the ripening fertilizers and filled the carts.
Zhao Wu wanted to send Li Xiang over tomorrow, so Wang Yi asked him to send the car as well.
"Okay, I understand, Mom. By the way, we'll put up the beams tomorrow morning. Mom, our house is almost finished!"
Li Chenggen was a little excited, and his face, which was tanned by being busy for several days, turned slightly red.
He never thought that he would be able to live in such a nice house in his life.
Although they still had to lay bricks on the ground and build the courtyard wall after the beams were put up, they could all clean up while living there. At least they didn't have to live in a shack anymore.
"Okay, do you need me to make any preparations?"
"No need, I've already asked someone to buy the red candles and offerings."
"That's good. I'm relieved that you can do what you want."
"By the way, take the girl I brought back today to meet the Western Region merchant."
In the camps set up by many refugees during their spare time after work, a small triangular tent made of pine and cypress branches is extremely small, but this is the best place for Kuriti to live when he is injured.
His wounds had not healed yet, and he was lying in the shack, looking at the leaking ceiling with a feeling of despair and hopelessness.
He felt even worse when he thought about what might happen to his sister out there.
After he recovers, he will try to settle down here first, and then try his best to find his sister outside. Otherwise, he will never be able to see his sister again.
But suddenly, he found a red shadow at the door of his shack, and it looked very familiar...
