Chapter 84 Eating Watermelon



Li Mingqing and his wife were walking on the road, talking and laughing.

The old ladies in the village were envious when they saw the two of them, but unfortunately their legs and feet were not working well and they could only do housework at home.

I met Grandma Zhao in the west of the village. She was a lonely person.

As soon as he saw Li Mingqing, he smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard you're working in town?"

"Grandma Zhao, this is my daughter-in-law."

"It's really nice, just like a flower. Being young is just the best."

The two of them felt very sad after hearing her words. She had no children and lived alone, barely making a living by weaving baskets at home.

"Grandma, I will come to see you often in the future."

She smiled and tremblingly stood up and said, "That's great. Come and chat with me when you have nothing to do."

Li Mingqing felt pain in his feet as he looked at her little feet.

It's really three-inch golden lotus.

The bandaged foot was no bigger than a palm, and all the toes were broken. It had been so long that it wouldn't heal even without the bandage.

There were two or three other old ladies in the village who had bound feet like her.

Many children were scared to tears when they saw it.

My feet hurt not only when it’s windy or rainy, but they also hurt from time to time at other times.

Before leaving, Li Mingqing dropped two drops of spiritual spring water into her water tank, thinking of it as a good deed, and maybe there would be a big reward.

The two of them strolled around the village before going back to work.

Waiting at the village chief's door.

"Wife, this is the village chief's house, and the team leader's house is just two houses away. You can forget about the other families, but you must remember these two. Come to them if you have any problems."

The homes of village cadres must be known so that if something really happens, they will not be unable to find the door.

Wu Tong and Li Mingfu came back and saw the two people standing at the door and asked with a smile, "Are you here to see my dad?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm here with my wife."

"Hey, Jiaxue, you're finally here. A chick just died this afternoon. I was so heartbroken. It was alive and kicking yesterday."

Wu Tong happily opened the door and let Li Mingqing and others into the yard.

What caught my eye were two little chicks shivering and huddled in the corner.

This is definitely a disease.

"Sister-in-law, these chicks must be kept indoors at night. They can't stand the cold at night."

"I know about this. I forgot to move it into the house last night."

"Let me tell you what I pay attention to when raising chickens. As for the rest, I don't know."

The two of them were chatting animatedly in the room.

Li Mingqing and Li Mingfu chatted for a few minutes outside.

"Among these brothers who grew up together, you are the only one who has made great progress. You are several years younger than me, and your life is getting better and better."

"Brother, look at what you said, you are living a good life."

"That's it, not as good as the best, but better than the worst."

Their family is much better off than most others in the village, at least they have the village chief to look after them.

When the village chief saw Li Mingqing when he entered the house, he asked, "Mingqing is here, why don't you come in and sit for a while?"

"My wife and sister-in-law are chatting."

"What's the matter? No matter where your wife goes, the villagers can bully her," the village chief joked.

"Uncle, stop teasing me. I saw Granny Zhao from the village when I came here just now. Uncle, haven't you thought about talking to the town about this?"

"What are you talking about?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mingqing knew that the village chief really hadn't thought about it.

"Grandma Zhao has no children. If you report this to the town, maybe you can get her a five-guarantee household."

"Can this be accomplished?"

“This is a good thing to maintain the unity of the people.”

"Hearing you put it that way, I'll bring it up when I go to a meeting in town someday."

There are indeed families in the village who have almost no ability to work, and it is strange to see them doing so all day long.

It was indeed his dereliction of duty as the village chief.

"Sister-in-law, it's getting late. Let's talk another day."

As soon as Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue went out, they heard a noise coming from the captain's house. They knew it was about Li Xiangxia.

Wang Dazhu secretly came to find Li Xiangxia and was caught red-handed by the team leader.

Li Dahua drove him out with a wooden stick.

"How dare you come to my house? I'll beat you to death. If anything goes wrong with my daughter's marriage, don't even think about living in the village."

Li Dazhu was beaten and retreated step by step.

"Aunt, listen to me, Xiang Xia doesn't want to do it, so why do you insist on forcing her?"

"You bastard, you're talking nonsense. Xiang Jun! Take him out right now. This is really bad luck."

Li Xiangjun chased him out like a chicken.

"Hurry up and leave. What's going on? If you don't leave, I'll really hit you."

When Wang Dazhu heard this, he immediately ran home.

Li Xiangxia in the room had no idea how things turned out like this. She just said a few words to Wang Dazhu.

The captain was so angry that he almost fainted.

"Xiang Xia, what on earth are you thinking? Do you want to marry that second-rate bastard Wang Dazhu?"

Li Xiangxia quickly shook her head. She had never thought of having anything to do with Wang Dazhu.

"Dad, that's not the case. I don't know why he came back."

"Just wait, what will you do if the Zhu family finds out about all this and cancels the engagement? I'm afraid you'll have no choice but to marry Wang Dazhu," the captain threatened her with a serious look.

After saying that, he went out and closed the door, letting Li Xiangxia think about it carefully.

Li Xiangxia in the room felt extremely aggrieved. It was not her fault at all, and she would never marry Wang Dazhu even if she died.

Li Mingqing ran into Wang Dazhu who was kicked out in a mess.

Wang Dazhu was only concerned with escaping and ran away without saying a word, fearing that he would be caught up by the team leader's family.
