He knew how much his wife had sent home as gifts, and that his father had turned a blind eye to it for the sake of the family. He would never speak it out without hesitation like he did today.
He knew his father did it for him, but he also went to work every day.
"Like rats digging holes, the food in our house was gone in just a few days. We thought they had eaten it all, but who knew it was actually given away."
Li Guihua, the wife of the second son Li Youshui.
"Dad, can we divide the family property after we finish digging the potatoes? We really can't stand having our house targeted by thieves. Our family members are starving and crying out for food, but we have nothing to eat. The food in our house disappears every few days. We fatten others but starve our own people to death." The second son Li Youshui said directly.
The second son's family refused to work hard. All this was earned with their work points. Finally, they asked for a division of the family, but were stopped by the old man. Today, the old matter was brought up again.
"Who are you talking about from the second family? Explain yourself to me clearly." Liang Yuemei jumped up and said.
Li Guihua watched this bastard bullying her husband and was fed up: "Don't you have any self-awareness? Wasn't that you I was just talking about? Who else is there in this family besides you? Do I need to explain myself? And you still have the nerve to shout and jump around here."
"Is it what I want? It's because the man I married is a loser. He made me unable to have children. What else can I do if he doesn't compensate me?" Liang Yuemei thought that she could insult the Li family unscrupulously as long as she kept this secret.
"Enough! Divide! Divide the family." The eldest brother Li Youliang stood up and grabbed Liang Yuemei who was jumping forward.
"Boss, you..." Li Baogen also felt a little heartbroken, he knew the boss's pain.
"Let me go! How dare you pull me? Can't you see that your whole family is bullying me?" Liang Yuemei was pulled out by Li Youliang and entered the house near the door on the right side of the main hall.
The village party secretary's house is well built, mostly made of high-quality adobe bricks.
"I told you to shut up, do you understand?" Li Youliang completely exploded.
Liang Yuemei was so frightened by Li Youliang's outburst that she froze in place. Over the past few years, Liang Yuemei had been the one to curse at men, and the man was too cowardly to dare to retort. Liang Yuemei, realizing what was happening, jumped up and said, "How dare you yell at me? Are you really that bold?"
As she spoke, she had already grabbed the man's face several times.
"I've said enough. Don't think I don't dare to hit you," Li Youliang was still giving in to the woman, but the woman could no longer hear the man's retreat.
"You, a man who can't have children, how dare you hit me? If I, Liang Yuemei, hadn't sacrificed myself, do you think you would have anyone to marry?" The woman became more and more excited as she spoke. In just a moment, the man's face was already bleeding from being scratched.
"Don't go too far. I gave you a chance when the test results came out. You said you didn't mind. Why are you bringing up the past now?" Li Youliang pushed over the woman who was making trouble for him.
Several people in the main room heard two people fighting in another room.
Li Baogen shouted "What a sin," and then walked out. The second brother and his wife didn't care. It was a trouble, and it would cause endless trouble to anyone who got involved.
"Stop it, look at all of you," Li Baogen felt distressed when he saw the bloodstains on his eldest son's face.
Their mother passed away, and he raised two children. Seeing the cheerful child become silent, inferior and cowardly, his heart bleeds!
"If you are from a wealthy family and you can't live together, just get a divorce. There's no need to humiliate others every day." Li Baogen looked at the boss who was standing aside with a dull look in his eyes.
"You said you want a divorce, so just divorce! It's not that easy. Then just wait, your whole family will bully me." After saying that, he went out and went straight back to his mother's house in the next village to call people.
"Boss, your dad always feels that you will not be without descendants. I dreamed of your mom last night and she asked me to take you to see a doctor again." Li Baogen looked at his son who was squatting on the ground because of his words.
"Dad, I'm sorry. I'm a loser and I've embarrassed you." Li Youliang cried.
"There is food. It's dad's fault. I didn't take good care of you two brothers for your mother." The old man's eyes were red and tears flowed down his wrinkled face.
Li Baogen also thought of the gentle and strong girl. They were from the same village and fell in love freely. She was injured when giving birth to her second child and never recovered. She died of illness when the second child was seven years old.
The second son was listening to what his eldest brother and father were saying in the main room, feeling sad and bitter. He didn't want this to happen, but when he thought of his eldest sister-in-law's appearance, no matter how much he felt sorry for his eldest brother, he had to grit his teeth and divide the family property.
For a moment, a depressed mood spread in the village secretary's home.
When Liang Qi and a few others parted ways and went home, a burst of laughter came from the yard.
"Grandma, thank you for the potato rice."
It was the voice of her beloved daughter Fenghuang. Liang Qi was afraid that it was a human trafficker, so she hurried into the yard.
"Qi Qi, you're back? Everyone else has finished work, why are you just coming home?" Aunt Agui's voice came.
Then he continued, "There is food on the table in the room. Please help yourself."
Liang Qi entered the yard and hadn't spoken yet. The old lady was the only one talking.
"Aunt, thank you for taking care of Fenghuang," Liang Qi felt warm in his heart.
"Don't be so polite. I like Phoenix. I'm alone anyway. I missed Phoenix, so I came to see it." The old man touched the child's head lovingly.
"Auntie, thank you so much,"
"Kid, you keep thanking me. Go and eat something quickly. Didn't you eat anything this morning?" Zhang Guishu said to Liang Qi, whose lips were a little dry.
"Eat it." Liang Qi said softly.
"What are you eating? I can't read. Hurry up and eat something, otherwise you won't have the energy to work in the afternoon."
"Okay!" Liang Qi looked at the old man and the child sitting under the eaves, talking and laughing.
The child originally had his own grandparents, but these grandparents were not as close to him as his neighbors. Liang Qi finished a big potato in a few bites, and his stomach didn't feel so empty anymore.
"Auntie, you and Fenghuang take a nap first. I'm going out to get some things." Liang Qi looked at the time. They should have finished their meal by now.
"Okay, go ahead, the kids and I will be waiting for you at home."
Liang Qi went out and headed straight for the village party secretary's house. When he got to the door, it was wide open. He stood outside and asked, "Is anyone there?"
After listening for a while, no one responded, so Liang Qi continued to shout, "Is anyone there? I'm coming in."
"Here she comes!" A woman's voice sounded, and then a woman's figure appeared, but it was not Liang Yuemei herself.
"Hello, I'm looking for Uncle Li, the village party secretary." Liang Qi looked at the woman and said.
The woman looked Liang Qi up and down. She had indeed changed. Her eyes used to be numb and empty, like a soulless puppet. She looked pretty but lacked charm.
Now she has become more elegant, confident and graceful, with a sense of elegance in her bones, especially her eyes have become clear, bright and charming, as if she can see through people's hearts.
