Li Mingqing leaned over and looked at the couple kneeling on the ground as if they were watching a joke.
He couldn't stop others from doing something shameless.
Let all the elders and villagers in the village see how spineless the Xu family is. They kneel down when they are told to. It’s not their turn to kneel anyway. The couple can kneel down as long as they want. He wants to see how long they can keep kneeling.
"Wife, sister-in-law, let's go back to the house."
"Are you going to let them kneel at our door like this? It's a joke to everyone."
"It's not us who are kneeling. If we want to make fun of them, we should make fun of the Xu family."
Seeing that they didn't take it seriously, Yang Daya didn't say anything more.
Li Mingqing and his wife went back to the house and started cooking lunch. The aroma of rice wafted to Xu Dagou and his wife who were kneeling in front of the door.
The two people who were already hungry were now even hungrier.
When the people from Old Li's family came back from outside, they were shocked to see two grown men kneeling at the door.
But it seems that he is here to find Li Mingqing.
Old man Li and old woman Li looked at each other and thought that the Xu family clearly wanted to disgust people.
"Big brother, third brother, don't worry about it, just go back to the house."
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, they didn't want to be embarrassed along with Xu Dagou.
Li Mingqing came out to greet them when he saw them coming back.
"Don't pay attention to the couple at the door, they will go back by themselves later."
Old Lady Li asked, "Son, what's going on?"
"It's okay. They want to extort money. They came once last time and now they're here again. Just let them kneel down."
Xu Dagou and Wang Dahua lowered their heads and looked at the villagers who came to watch the fun.
They felt their faces burning and they couldn't face anyone in the village anymore.
Old Mrs. Xu hid behind others and didn't dare show up.
She hadn't expected the Li family to be so reckless, not even showing up despite all this. The Xu family was humiliated but didn't receive a penny or a grain of rice.
She wanted to leave quietly but was stopped by Li Dahua next to her.
"Your son and daughter-in-law are kneeling there, and you act like nothing happened. If I were you, I'd be too embarrassed to go out. Your family is really interesting."
Originally, the villagers didn't see her, but Li Dahua's shout made everyone turn their heads.
Old Lady Xu was so embarrassed by everyone's gaze that she said without thinking: "The Li family is doing so well, why don't they pity our family? What's wrong with us? Living in the same village as Li Mingqing is really stingy."
As soon as Li Mingqing came out, he heard her such shameless remarks.
"Your Xu family should go to the county town, to the capital. The people there are very well-off. If you go there and kneel down, you might be able to build a red-tiled house."
The people around couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
That's right. According to Old Lady Xu, everyone should just stop working and go begging.
The village chief scolded him, "Hurry up and pull your son up and go back. Is that right? As an elder, you are bringing shame to Lijia Village by saying such things."
His words were quite intimidating. Xu Dagou and Wang Dahua supported each other and stood up.
"If Big Dog had gone to work with you, he wouldn't have ended up like this."
In the Xu family, only Wang Dahua works diligently.
Xu Dagou and Xu Po Pozi take care of the children at home. Such an assignment is truly unprecedented.
When the child cried because of hunger, Xu Dagou would carry the child to the field to find Wang Dahua to feed him.
Wang Dahua was forced to go back to work before she even finished her confinement. Her work points alone supported three people.
It’s not easy to avoid starving to death.
Xu Dagou has to listen to Mrs. Xu even when he farts, and he is very happy since he doesn't have to work.
Li Mingqing was interested in watching the villagers pointing fingers at Old Xu's family.
After everyone had dispersed, the village chief said, "There's a meeting in town the day after tomorrow. You should go too."
"Me? What am I going to do?"
"You are the study group leader in the village, so you must go. You are going to the town to study and exchange ideas."
Li Mingqing said in embarrassment: "Uncle Village Chief, you should go. Just tell me when you come back. I still have to go to work at the supply and marketing cooperative."
"It won't delay your work or your off-get off work time, it'll only take about half an hour."
"Okay, let's meet at the town government then."
I have to admire the mayor and the village committee members. They are really good servants of the people.
The village chief originally thought that Li Mingqing would not agree, but unexpectedly he agreed.
Li Mingqing had just finished his meal when Zhao Hongbin came over angrily.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I went on a blind date today, and the girl was really picky. She said if we get married, we have to rebuild our house, and it has to be a brick house like yours. Even worse, she wants three turns and one ring, no less."
That is indeed excessive.
Li Xiangxia and Zhu Huamao did not have a complete set of belongings, only a bicycle.
"You don't have to be so angry, right? If it's not suitable, just forget it."
"I thought so, but she started to curse. It was really awful. She cursed not only me but also my parents. I have never seen such a woman. I don't know where Matchmaker Xu found her. She is so old, but I still don't dislike her."
"If this one doesn't work, there's another one."
"Oh, it's difficult."
"You may not be as pretty as me, but you're not ugly either. I think you'll be the next one to fall for you."
There aren't so many demands in this era. There are only a few who want this or that, and they just happen to come across it.
"Have you eaten? If not, have something to eat."
"I'd better go home. My parents must be feeling very upset, especially my mother."
Zhao Hongbin came over, complained for a while and then went home.
Hongbin's mother was relieved to see him come back, for she was afraid that Zhao Hongbin would go to Xu the matchmaker and tell her.
Matchmaker Xu was also very angry about this matter, as it damaged her reputation.
She had been a matchmaker for so many years and this was the first time she had met someone like this. The young girl spoke even more rudely than the old woman.
I didn't state my requirements at the beginning. If I had said it in advance, things wouldn't have turned out so unpleasantly.
"Hongbin, where have you been? Your father and I are so worried."
"Mom, I went to Mingqing's house. Don't get angry about what happened today."
Hong Bin's mother smiled and said, "What's there to be angry about? Disagreement is common."
Matchmaker Xu came in carrying the snacks that the Zhao family had given her.
"Sister-in-law Zhao, I will definitely introduce a good one to my nephew next time."
"Then I'll trouble you."
"What's the trouble? I'm just a matchmaker. I didn't ask clearly this time."
"Auntie, this has nothing to do with you."
Matchmaker Xu smiled when she saw that the Zhao family was so understanding.
"Auntie will definitely find you a man who is both good-looking and capable of managing life."
Hong Bin's mother looked at the snacks she had brought back and placed on the table and handed them over again, "Thank you for your care."
