Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Great Excitement
When Boss Tu saw the wolfhound cowering in the house with its tail between its legs, he was speechless.
He brought this wolfdog back to raise after he returned to the village last year. Occasionally he would drive pigs back to raise them for a while, so he raised a wolfdog to guard the house.
It lived up to expectations and helped him look after the house. Sometimes it would even go into the mountains by itself to catch a rabbit or a pheasant and bring it back for a snack. It was very powerful and majestic.
At this moment, seeing its useless appearance, Boss Tu found it really funny.
He laughed and scolded: "You are such a loser, you are a wolfdog!"
But thinking about the pigs whose legs were so weak that they couldn't even stand in front of Yu Li, this wolfdog was at least able to hide far away with its tail between its legs, which was still pretty impressive.
The butcher brought a bucket of cooked pig food to the pig pen and asked, "Why is Li Niang here?"
The pigpen is right in the backyard, and it is enclosed in a shed.
When Yu Li approached, the pigs that were eating happily suddenly felt their legs go weak and they fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Boss Tu felt more and more that the wolfdog that could hide with its legs limp was still very powerful, worthy of its wolf blood.
He asked Yu Li to step back a little so as not to affect the pigs' meal, otherwise it would be bad for them to starve and become thin.
If the pig is hungry and thin, it will be lighter and the money it can be sold for will be less...
Yu Li stepped back decisively, watching the pigs slowly stand up and continue eating, and said, "I have something to do tomorrow, so I won't be going to the county town. Please tell Brother Zhang."
"What's the matter?" Boss Tu asked, "Do you need my help?"
"No need. The Yu family is going to split up tomorrow. I'll go back and take a look."
Boss Tu was stunned for a moment, turned to look at her, and asked in confusion: "The Yu family wants to split up? I remember that Mr. Yu and his family are in good health, right?"
As long as the parents are alive, the family will not be divided. The old man and the old lady of the Yu family are both fine. Why did they suddenly divide the family?
Yu Li agreed, "He is indeed very strong." He has experienced so many stimulations but has never fainted once.
In fact, Boss Tu was not interested in the reason why the Yu family split up. After asking casually, he said, "Is there anything I can help you with? I have some friendship with the head of the village. My father saved the head of the village in the mountains before."
For this reason, the village head took good care of him and he had a say in the village head.
Considering how much importance the Yu family places on the eldest branch, I'm afraid this division of the family property will not be fair.
Yu Li is the daughter of the second branch of the Yu family. Even though she is already married, she must still care about the division of her natal family.
He can talk to the head of the village and ask him to help look after it and make the division of the Yu family as fair as possible.
Yu Li said: "Thank you, no need to trouble you."
She felt that Mr. Yu would not have the guts to divide it unfairly.
After talking about this with Boss Tu, Yu Li went into the mountains to chop firewood.
Soon she had chopped several loads of firewood, tied them up, and carried them down the mountain.
When Yu Li was going down the mountain, she met some villagers who were also chopping firewood. They were really envious of her when they saw her carrying a large bundle of firewood down the mountain as if it were flat ground.
"Li Niang is really strong."
"That's right. Before she got married, the Yu family had a lot easier time with her help during the busy farming season."
At this time, someone on the side of the road called out to Yu Li, "Mother Li."
Yu Li turned around and saw several middle-aged women, one of whom was Aunt Guihua.
She stopped and greeted them politely.
Aunt Guihua waved at her, and when Yu Li walked over, she asked excitedly, "Mother Li, I heard that something seemed to have happened at the Yu family after noon today. There was a lot of shouting and noise. What happened? Do you know?"
Others also looked at her curiously.
There is a lot of land in the village, and the houses are built quite far apart from each other.
The neighbors living near the Yu family vaguely heard some noise coming from the Yu family, but they didn't know what it was. When they wanted to climb over the wall to eavesdrop, the noise from the Yu family had already stopped.
They all felt very regretful that they didn't rush over to tear down the wall.
In the afternoon, the villagers went to work in the fields and mentioned what happened at the Yu family after noon. Everyone was guessing what had happened at the Yu family again.
Seeing Yu Li now, he couldn't help but ask her.
Aunt Guihua doesn't get along with Old Lady Yu, so she just wants to see the fun in the Yu family and is extremely excited now.
Yu Li said: "I know."
"What is it?" Aunt Guihua's eyes sparkled with excitement, and the others also pricked up their ears.
Yu Li: "You will know tomorrow."
The fact that the Yu family is splitting up cannot be kept secret. After the Yu family is split up tomorrow, everyone in the village will know about it, so she doesn't need to explain it in detail.
Yu Li was not the type of person who liked to chat with others. After he finished speaking, he said goodbye to them politely and went to the Fu family carrying the firewood.
Aunt Guihua and others were naturally very sorry.
"Since Li Niang said that, it seems like something is going to happen at the Yu family tomorrow." Aunt Guihua immediately decided that she would go to climb over the wall of the Yu family early tomorrow morning.
You must see the excitement of the Yu family.
-
Yu Li ran to the mountains twice and carried back several loads of firewood in one breath, which he piled in the woodshed.
Then she chopped wood in the yard, chopping it neatly into pieces of similar size and thickness.
The firewood piled up there is a comforting sight.
Zhou felt very distressed when she saw that she had to run twice to chop so much firewood, enough to burn for half a month.
She handed Yu Li some water, wiped her sweat, and said, "Child, you don't have to work so hard. You should take a good rest. If you don't have firewood, just ask someone to buy some. A load of firewood is not expensive, only a dozen or twenty cents..."
Yu Li said: "A dozen or twenty coins can buy several meat buns."
In the county town, a meat bun costs three cents, four for ten cents, and eight for twenty cents.
Zhou choked and finally said, "I'll make you steamed meat buns tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you mom!"
Yu Li said happily that she trusted Zhou's cooking skills and found that no matter what she cooked, it tasted good and the food she cooked was very much to her taste.
In fact, Yu Li only started eating normal food after coming to this world. Before that, he only ate strange-tasting nutritional supplements and compressed dry food.
It can be said that her taste buds were opened by the food made by Zhou. Only after remembering the taste did she feel that Zhou's cooking skills were very much to her taste.
Every time Zhou saw her eyes sparkling and her face full of expectation, she couldn't help but want to feed her food.
She felt that there was no girl easier to raise than Yu Li.
No matter what I cook, even pickled cabbage, she can eat it with relish. Every time I eat with her, I always eat two more bowls and almost get a stomachache.
For dinner, Zhou cooked several dishes.
There were fried eggs with bacon, fried cucumber with bacon, a bowl of braised pork offal, egg and tofu soup, and a large bowl of vegetables.
There were a lot of dishes and they were rich, but there was no need to worry about not being able to finish them. After Zhou and the two children had eaten their fill, Yu Li would take up the rest.
Ever since Yu Li started working in the butcher shop, the Fu family no longer had a shortage of meat.
Not to mention the pig offal he brought back every day, even when she bought meat from the butcher's shop, she would be given the employee price, which was only half the price, and Zhang Fu would even cut a large piece of meat for her with a shake of his hand.
As expected, the butcher never lacks meat to eat, and Yu Li is very satisfied with this job.
After dinner, Zhou handed two sets of ready-made clothes to Yu Li.
She spent several days making these two sets of clothes and put a lot of effort into them. The embroidery on them alone is extremely exquisite and elegant, and very classy.
When Yu Li came out wearing new clothes, Zhou was suddenly stunned.
Seeing her staring at him, Yu Li looked at her in confusion, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Zhou said, "Mother Li, you have finally gained some weight. Look carefully, you are really pretty, a very beautiful girl."
We live under the same roof and see each other every day, so I don’t feel anything.
At this moment, Yu Li put on the clothes she had carefully sewn. The clothes were made in normal size. Although they were still empty on Yu Li, they were not as empty as before.
It's like the skeleton is finally covered with a layer of flesh, and even the clothes can have some curves.
As this person gained some weight, the flesh on her cheeks naturally also became fuller. Especially since Yu Li is still a young girl of seventeen years old, youth is her asset. As long as she is no longer as thin as a skeleton, she will not be so ugly that it is scary.
The cheeks have more flesh, which finally makes people notice the advantages of her facial features.
The four daughters of the second branch of the Yu family, Yu Jin, Yu Yin and Yu Zhu, inherited their looks from Liu. Only Yu Li is different. She is a combination of Liu and Yu Lao Er, picking out the best features of both.
Her eyebrows are thicker and darker like Yu Laoer's, and they are long and heroic, with a very good shape, the kind that doesn't need eyebrow trimming.
Her eyes and nose are like Liu's, with almond eyes and a beautiful nose, delicate and beautiful.
Zhou thought to herself that if she gained some more weight and regained the figure of a young girl, she would definitely be an extremely heroic and pretty girl.
Oh, Xiao Ge'er really made a profit.
Zhou was very happy and the more she looked at Yu Li, the more she liked him.
Yu Li didn't feel anything. She lowered her head and touched the embroidery on the clothes. Although she had seen Zhou working on it with her own eyes, she still thought it was amazing that she could embroider such beautiful bamboo.
This bamboo looks like it was printed on a computer, it is lifelike and the craftsmanship is extraordinary.
"Mom, the dress is so beautiful!" Yu Li praised generously, "Thank you, I like it very much."
Zhou had a smile on her face and was in a very good mood.
No one doesn't like to be praised, whether it's for the food you cook or the clothes you make yourself, getting gratitude and praise from others makes people happy both physically and mentally.
Li Niang is such a well-behaved girl, she is really good at praising others, and her praise is so sincere.
-
Yu Li took the new clothes back to his room and placed them solemnly in the closet.
Now the cabinet against the wall in this room has become her territory, where she keeps her things.
Although there weren't many things in the closet and only a few sets of clothes, Yu Li watched the things inside increase little by little, and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of security in his heart.
It was as if, after coming to this world, she had created something here from nothing, leaving her mark bit by bit, telling the world that she had come and that she would live here in peace and stability.
Fu Wenxiao looked at her silently in the light of the oil lamp, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he smiled slightly.
"Li Niang." He called out.
When she turned her head and looked at him, looking into her bright eyes, he said softly, "You didn't rest in the afternoon, go to bed early."
Yu Li responded, walked over naturally, and climbed onto the bed.
She yawned, and indeed she was very sleepy, and said, "Mom said she would make me meat buns tomorrow morning, so I have to get up early."
Fu Wenxiao: "You don't have to get up so early. You can sleep a little longer. Mother won't get up so early to do it."
Knowing that she didn't have to get up early the next day, Zhou didn't have to get up in the middle of the night to make breakfast for her.
This way they can all get more sleep.
Yu Li had no choice but to say, "Okay."
The voice sounded quite forced.
Fu Wenxiao laughed and realized that perhaps food was more important to her than getting more sleep.
**
The next day, Yu Li finally ate the meat buns she had been longing for.
The meat buns were indeed delicious. Yu Li felt that they were better than those sold in the county town. The main reason was that Zhou was willing to put meat in them and the meat filling was also very fresh.
Yu Li returned to his room with a meat bun in his mouth, a bowl of porridge, a few meat buns and a small plate of pickles.
This is Fu Wenxiao's breakfast.
She sat by the window, chewing the bun in her hand, and said, "The meat buns made by my mother are really delicious. You should try them now."
Fu Wenxiao sat opposite him, his posture relaxed and elegant. He first drank a mouthful of porridge, then picked up a meat bun with chopsticks and ate it politely.
Yu Li couldn't help but look at him again, and his eating of the bun slowed down unconsciously.
But after a while, she returned to normal and continued to eat the buns in big mouthfuls, making sure that she couldn't be as slow as Fu Wenxiao, who was so slow that she wanted to press his head and help him stuff the buns.
After Fu Wenxiao finished breakfast, Yu Li cleaned up the dishes and said, "I'm going to Yu's house. I'll go into the mountains later and pick some delicious fruits for you."
She hasn't been into the mountains for a long time since she went to the county town to slaughter pigs.
There must be a lot of wild fruits ripe in the mountains now, waiting for her to pick.
Fu Wenxiao said gently, "Thank you."
After Yu Li left, he sat upright at the desk by the window, and in the bright light, continued to write what he had not finished yesterday.
**
No one from the Yu family went to work in the fields today.
For farmers, if they don’t work for a day, the crops in the fields will be delayed for a day, so they dare not slack off easily.
However, today, because of the division of the family property, the people from the second and third rooms had no intention of doing any work. They stayed at home early in the morning, waiting for the division.
However, the people in the big house have been hiding in the house and have not come out.
Upon seeing this, Old Mrs. Yu could not help but curse. She cursed the second Yu couple, and the third Yu couple, scolding them for being lazy and not working, and staying at home. Were they hoping to divide the family property quickly so they could get rid of these two old guys?
Every word is heart-breaking.
If this word gets out, the reputation of the second and third houses will be ruined.
Yu Laoer and his wife didn't dare to resist, nor could they make any excuses. They just stood there like wooden men.
Unlike them, Yu Laosan and Wang Shi would certainly not stand there and be scolded.
"Mom, how can you say that?" Yu Lao San said, "Didn't Dad himself propose the division of the family? We didn't propose it. We just listened to you."
Wang agreed, "That's right, if mother doesn't want to divide it, then we won't divide it."
These words were obviously meant to stab old lady Yu. If she dared not to distinguish, be careful that Boss Yu would have to kneel down in front of them again today and would not be able to get up for a long time.
As expected, Old Lady Yu was choked and was so angry that she almost wanted to beat them with a cane.
But Yu Lao San was not afraid of her this time, nor was he stupid enough to stand there and get beaten. He pulled Wang back and said, "Mom, please don't get angry. Let's talk nicely. Li Niang will be here soon."
Old Mrs. Yu: “…”
Finally, Old Mrs. Yu gave him a fierce look, turned around and went back to her room, thinking out of sight, out of mind.
When Yu Laosan and his wife saw her leave like this, they didn't beat or scold her anymore. It was the first time they realized that Yu Li's name was so useful.
The two looked at each other and suddenly had an epiphany.
They seemed to know how to control the old lady in the future.
-
The Yu family did not go to work in the fields today. Many people in the village noticed this and couldn't help but recall that when they were chatting under the tree by the river yesterday evening, Aunt Guihua told them that the Yu family must have something going on today.
Everyone stretched their necks to look towards the Yu family and couldn't even concentrate on their work.
As the hour of Chen approached, many villagers saw the head of the village and several elders heading towards the Yu family, and they couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Why did the village head suddenly go to Yu’s house?
Looking at those elders, they are of a high generation. One of them has white hair and beard, and Grandpa Yu has to call him "Fifth Uncle".
The village head, the fifth uncle and others came to Yu's house and were welcomed into the main hall.
Seeing the gloomy face of Mr. Yu, the head of the village asked, "Brother Yu, are you really going to split up? Are you sure?"
After dinner yesterday, Yu Laosan suddenly came to him and said that their family was going to split up and asked him to come tomorrow to help with the division.
The village head was very surprised and thought that the younger generation was unfilial and wanted to divide the family.
But Yu Laosan said that it was the old man who proposed it, and they did not have any plan to split up.
As for why Grandpa Yu suddenly wanted to divide the family, Yu Lao San was not stupid enough to tell the reason. He just vaguely said that his eldest brother had returned from the county town, and the old man started to think about it.
He felt that what he said was correct. If his eldest brother had not offended Yu Li, would the old man have divided the family for him?
After all, the culprit is Boss Yu.
The head of the village listened to it naturally and immediately wondered if Boss Yu had done something that made Grandpa Yu want to split the family.
So when he came here today, he went to Yu's house to look for Boss Yu, but he didn't see him there.
Now, he was even more certain that it was Boss Yu who had done something.
Old Master Yu felt bitter and wanted to say something when he saw Yu Li walking in from outside.
She came quietly, because she was a junior and a married woman, the head of the village and the fifth uncle and others would not pay much attention to her, but that was not the case with Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu.
Seeing her appear, no one dared to say anything, for fear of angering her. She might attack Yu Jingde and his brothers at any time.
Old Master Yu had no choice but to say, "The children are all grown up, and my grandson will soon get married. There will be more and more people in the family, and it is inevitable that there will be conflicts when the family is together. It is better to separate the family and let them find food for themselves to avoid quarrels in the future."
He said this in a very unkind way.
But it is also the norm for many villagers, with three or four generations living under the same roof, and if there are many brothers and the family does not separate, the family will always get together and quarrel over trivial matters, making a lot of noise all day long, and sometimes the head of the village will be called over to administer justice.
It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
The head of the village sometimes thought that what was said was quite right, but he still showed an expression of disapproval.
After all, Mr. Yu and his wife are still alive, and if they suddenly want to split up, they must try to persuade them.
However, Mr. Yu was very determined and said that the family must be divided this time.
The head of the village stopped persuading him.
The fifth uncle asked, "Since you want to divide the family, why don't you meet your eldest son? He is the eldest son who supports the family, and we can't leave him out."
Hearing this, Mr. Yu and his wife felt a little embarrassed.
What else can I do?
Naturally, Boss Yu felt humiliated by his kneeling yesterday and he hasn’t recovered yet, so he’s unwilling to come out to see people.
Everyone in the Yu family was watching at the time, even the younger generations saw it clearly. Boss Yu was extremely ashamed. This was simply the shame of his life, and he was afraid that he would not be able to let it go for the rest of his life.
But dividing the family is a big deal, and as the eldest son, Boss Yu has to come out no matter what.
Old Master Yu had no choice but to say, "Third brother, go and call the eldest brother out."
Yu Laosan loved to do this job, so he happily responded and went to call someone.
Soon everyone in the big room came out.
Boss Yu was wearing a scholar's shirt and looked like a decent human being, but he looked haggard, with bloodshot eyes, and it was obvious that he had not slept all night.
However, Chen and the others cleaned up properly and were not in the mess like yesterday.
The village head was surprised and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"
Just as Boss Yu was about to speak, he turned around and saw Yu Li sitting with the people from the second branch. The blood instantly rushed to his face, his eyes bulged like frogs, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
This look is very scary, as if he has been stimulated by something terrible.
The village head, the fifth uncle and the others were all startled, "What's wrong with you?"
"Boss!" Old Master Yu shouted.
Old Mrs. Yu looked at him anxiously, her mouth moving. She felt very uncomfortable and thought that her eldest son had suffered a great injustice. Look at how scared he was by that damn Li Niang.
Boss Yu finally came to his senses and forcibly looked away, not daring to look at Yu Li again.
Whenever he saw her, he would think of the humiliating scene of yesterday, and then he couldn't control himself, and had the urge to cover his face and escape from this world.
It’s so bitter!
