Chapter 24： The Li family extended an olive branch!

Chapter 24 The Li family extends an olive branch!

“Come on, everyone! Since their family came to our village, they have been going to the back mountains to hunt game and collect wild products all day long. I think they just want to hollow out our back mountains so that none of us can harvest them!”

Liu Tiezhu's daughter-in-law is named Su Niang, but her character is definitely not "prime".

At this moment, he was standing under the big tree with his waist pinched, encouraging the villagers and spitting saliva around Zhao Yuru.

Zhao Yuru's face turned red with anger. She was just thinking about Fu Niuer, so when she went to the village entrance to greet her, she was pestered by this shrew.

Tao Hongying has a fierce temper and gets along best with Zhao Yuru, her sister-in-law, so she jumped out of the car and squeezed in.

“Who is messing around in the clear sky? The back mountain is right there, and there’s no rule about whose family it belongs to, so why is it that only your Liu family can go, but our Li family can’t?”

Tao Hongying blocked her sister-in-law behind her and retorted in an unambiguous manner.

Su Niang choked and her eyes bulged like a frog. She thought for a while before speaking sharply.

"Who said you are not allowed to go, but there are so many things on the mountain, and you have all picked them, so what should we all pick? In previous years, none of us had big piles or small piles, but this year we didn't pick anything! If you hadn't come here Come on, grab it from us, it won’t be like this!”

The villagers were already looking at the pheasants, hares, salted fish hanging in the yard of the Li family, and the various mountain products hanging out to dry.

At this moment, Su Niang was also persuaded, and she looked at Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru with a somewhat unkind look.

Tao Hongying wanted to speak, but Mrs. Li hugged Jiayin and stepped forward to say.

"Our family has just arrived, and there is no food in the fields. If we don't pick more mountain products, we may be hungry this winter. But we can only pick for a few days, after all, the autumn harvest is about to begin."

She smiled and said again.

"I have a lot of kids in my family, so I want to help everyone. After all, we are all farmers, and the biggest thing is to grab the harvest. Who would have thought that some people would not be able to see our good thing of helping each other, and come here. Provoke, but use everyone as a gun!"

Hearing this, the villagers looked at each other and seemed to wake up a little. Some of them blushed and responded.

“My aunt is right, we all live in the same village, so we don’t need more helpers.”

“Yes, aunt, your firewood pile is a bit small. After the autumn harvest, we can help chop more firewood.”

“Okay,” Mrs. Li pointed at the two sickles in Li Laosi’s hands and said with a smile.

“The fourth child is worried that we don’t have enough sickles at home, so he just bought two from friends in the city. Anyone who wants to use them can come and get them from home.”

Jiayin was lying in the arms of the old lady. After hearing these words, she wanted to clap her hands and cheer for her grandma.

Apart from anything else, the old lady is really good at talking and is good at winning people's hearts.

Sure enough, when everyone saw the two sharp scythes, they became more and more convinced that Old Mrs. Li was not lying to others with her nice words. Looking at Su Niang again, she looked a little sad.

The Li family is such a good family, but they almost broke up with the villagers because of her instigation.

Su Niang gritted her teeth with hatred. She didn't dare to say anything. She made an excuse and ran away with the excuse of cooking at home.

Everyone laughed, chatted for a few words, and dispersed.

When the Li family arrived at the door of their house, Mrs. Li called to Mr. Li to stop.

“When returning the donkey cart, I told the village chief that our family is new here and we are going to hold a banquet to entertain the villagers.”

Li Laoer's eyes lit up and he immediately responded, "Mom, I understand. I'll go talk to the village chief now."

Tao Hongying quickly filled a basket with a few apples, pears, and a handful of red dates, and handed it to Li Laoer.

“I heard that the village chief’s wife is not in good health. Second brother, please take these with you.”

Li Laoer smiled and accepted it, but sighed in his heart. In fact, at this time, it would be best for him to bring his wife there.

He told the village chief that his daughter-in-law would visit her and they would soon get close to her.

But thinking of Wu Cuihua's virtue, he asked her to go, fearing that she would eat up all the fruit on the way.

If you don’t look at me anymore, if you can’t get close, you may become enemies...

The village chief was having dinner at home. When he saw Li Laoer coming, he quickly helped unload the donkey cart. Seeing the fruit given by Li Laoer, the village chief smiled even more happily.

When Li Laoer mentioned that he wanted to invite a drink at home, he immediately agreed.

Don't say that the Li family is so sensible. Even if the Li family doesn't say anything, he will remind the villagers to go to the Li family frequently and avoid bullying.

The Li family is prosperous and can write and do calculations. Settling down in the village will only bring benefits to the village, but no harm.

On the second day, at three o'clock in the morning, the village chief and the villagers came to Li's house one after another.

There were old men with disabled limbs among them, as well as men who were heads of various families, but not the Liu family.

The villagers also noticed it, but they didn’t ask, so it was considered tacitly understood.

The Li family's courtyard is spacious, with a dedicated kitchen in the southwest corner. There are two stoves with iron pots on them.

Tao Hongying is in charge of cooking, and Zhao Yuru and Jia Huan help her.

Wu Cuihua’s whirring sounds like she’s helping, but in reality the thunder is loud and the raindrops are light.

To be honest, she didn't do any serious work.

“Pheasant stewed with mushrooms, braised rabbit, and sweet and sour carp. These three are big dishes. Add fried mushrooms and meat, green onions and eggs, and mix them with refreshing wild vegetables.”

Tao Hongying prepared six dishes in total. It wasn’t much, but it was already the Li family’s greatest wish.

Mrs. Li greeted the villagers at the door with Jiayin in her arms. Jiayin had a pink face and a pair of **** eyes as bright as gems.

The cute little look makes everyone want to make out with her.

If Jiaxi Jia'an hadn't been protecting her from the front, Jiayin's face would probably have turned red.

When the sun reached the middle of the day, the two tables in Li’s yard were already filled with villagers.

Li Laoer brought his two younger brothers to accompany everyone to talk and drink tea.

Li Laoer is also well-informed and has read books. His words and deeds are much smoother than those of ordinary villagers, making everyone laugh.

A woman from the village came to join in the fun. Seeing the busyness in the kitchen, she rolled up her sleeves and helped pick vegetables.

Tao Hongying happily thanked her and chatted together, which was very lively.

With so many people working, the strong aroma of meat soon wafted out of the kitchen.

The naughty boys in the village couldn't help their greedy stomachs. They lay down at the door and peeked, swallowing hard.

When Tao Hongying saw her, she called her home happy and safe, took some sesame candies from home, and gave them to the children.

So Jiaan Jiaxi immediately became familiar with the children and became good partners.

"Come! Try the wine I brought. This is good wine that I dug out from under the tree this morning and has been buried for three years!"

The village chief brought two jars of wine himself, probably because he didn’t want the Li family to spend too much money.

“Oh, it’s rare for the village chief to be so willing. We need to drink a few more bowls.”

Before the meal was ready, the men at the table drank some wine and became very lively.

The hearty laughter they made from time to time floated over the Li family yard and lingered for a long time.

By the time the food was served, the guests were all surprised.

No one expected that the Li family would be so generous. With such big fish and meat, no one could have such a rich meal during the New Year!

But considering that the Li family can buy such a big yard, they must have quite a lot of money.

What's more, the second child Li can read and write, the third child is a mason, and the fourth child can hunt. They live a good and normal life, which is really enviable.
