Old Li San had returned. This was big news for a small village like Xitang Village. Even if it was ten days or half a month, it was still fresh and refreshing. There would never be the slightest bit of boredom.

However, what would Old Li think if he found out that his wife and children had been chased out of the Li family by their parents and siblings, leading a difficult life day after day? What would he do?

When the villagers of Xitang Village talked about this place, they all felt as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Saliva flew everywhere from the ears of the rice in the shallow paddy.

"Aiyo, did you see that old lady Li's expression just now? Something is clearly wrong, there is not the slightest bit of emotion on her face. I'm sure that I'm worried about how I'll explain this to my son!"

Smart people naturally knew what the Li family was going to say. However, there were some people who were confused. They couldn't help but ask about the details. After watching the lively scene for a long time, they couldn't just ignore it, could they?

"My second uncle has been my second aunt in charge of the Li family ever since he committed a crime. In these years, he has rarely shown himself in his old age. My second aunt has always been very honest in the Li family. What does she need to say?"

"Hey, Li Ping, you are usually so shrewd and smart, but why are you acting like this now?" Whatever is your second aunt going to say, she definitely won't say it to you, right? "

"Hahaha …"

After Wang Duojin finished speaking, the crowd burst into laughter. Li Ping, who had been trying to get to the bottom of the situation, had an embarrassed look on his face. He raised his hand to wipe his body and then scratched his head.

Li Ping was usually a little shrewd, but when it came to guessing people's minds, he was not smart enough. What Old Lady Li needed to explain was how to drive Wen Xiu and her two sons out of the Li family. Together with the Wang family's Zhou family, she would make things difficult for them, criticize them harshly and humiliate them. It was fine if Li Jun did not come back, but since Wenxiu's reputation had already been destroyed, everyone would turn a blind eye to it. But now that Li Jun had returned, many things from the past would have to be taken out to discuss.

Logically speaking, Li Jun should have died long ago and left behind his wife and children. If Wenxiu did not remarry and was willing to stay, then Li Fu would have to have two concubines. With her parents here, regardless of how bitter the days were, the three of them shouldn't be chased out. The most important thing was that the Li family did the unrighteous deed, but they did not know how to control themselves. All these years, they had been bullying Wen Xiuniang and the other two, and they had never treated them as Li family members.

Now that Li Jun had returned, the Li Family was going to have a good show to watch.

While the villagers were talking animatedly on one side, on the other side of the village, Li Jun, who was following Wenxiu, was stopped outside the gate by her former daughter-in-law.

"You, go back to where you came from. I didn't know you before, I don't know you now, and I don't need to know you in the future." Widows often come to the door, so it's best if you don't enter my house. The road is behind you, so you don't have to walk. " Wenxiu's mouth opened and closed as she spoke in a sneaky manner. It was clear that she was not panting at all.

Li Jun's ice-cold eyes looked at Wen Xiu who was talking nonstop. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. Her eyes were bright. It was a pity that her face was covered in dirt and she couldn't see the contours of her face. If not for her tone of voice and the spirit in her eyes, he would have taken the woman in front of him to be a beggar.

Yes, a beggar.

He thought back to five years ago, when his wife, Wen Xiu, had been bought back by his mother for two taels of silver. She had been submissive to her family, and her eyes were timid and lifeless. Although her face was covered in mud, he had to admit that he did not recognize her at all.

After Wen Xiu said this, she stared at him for a while. However, she could not see the tall and cold faced man in front of her making a sound. She thought to herself, He shouldn't be thinking of snatching the wild chicken back before leaving, right? She then frowned and cautiously tightened her grip on the wild chicken by her waist. "Let me tell you, I saw this wild chicken first. Even without your help, I can catch it. So, don't even think about going back."

"Bang!"

Before Li Jun could come back to her senses, Wen Xiu had already slipped into the yard and slammed the door shut. Soon after, her majestic voice came from the yard, "I urge you to leave quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless in the future. "Humph!"

Li Jun was shocked. He looked up at the two dilapidated wooden doors and could not help but let out a cold snort.

Only then did she tiptoe into the living room. Seeing that the two children were still sleeping, she must have been tired and unable to sleep well last night. She tucked up the quilt around the children before softly leaving the room once again, carrying her 'spoils of war' with her to the kitchen.

The original body was also pitiable. The Li family members rushed to the grass hut. There were three broken thatched huts, one living room and bedroom, one kitchen, and one toilet. Although Liu Da He and Wang Yanqing helped to repair the thatched cottage every year, it was still drafty and full of rain. The days passed miserably.

Wenxiu looked at the extremely simple and crude kitchen and sighed. She shook her head. Then, she picked out a few sticks of dried wood from a pile of firewood that had been soaked by the rain.

From her previous life of stealing, as well as her subsequent organizational training, Wenxiu had learnt a set of survival skills. Survival skills such as hunting, cleaning the prey and lighting the fire, and cooking … even if she had just arrived, she would still be able to do it as she pleased without having to worry about the ingredients.

"Mother!"

"Ah! It's a wild chicken! Big brother, it's a wild chicken! We have wild chicken meat to eat! We have wild chicken meat to eat …"

As Wen Xiu was engrossed in cleaning the organs of the wild chicken, the cheerful and excited voice of the Tong Tong Tong rang in her ears. How long had it been since she had eaten meat? Thinking of this, Wen Xiu's heart turned sour.

Wen Xiu raised her head and smiled at the Tong Tong Tong. When she saw the look of anticipation on the tree, she could not help but swallow her saliva.

Sigh, such a pity for these two children …

"Tong Tong, is your knee still hurting? Hungry? Mother, can I give you chicken stew to drink? " When Wen Xiu saw that the little girl's eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets, she shook her head helplessly and changed the topic to her injured knee.

When Tong Tong heard this, her eyes lit up, but she continued to shake her head. "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all if there's chicken soup. I'm not hungry right now, I ate a lot of sweet potatoes last night. "

"Greedy Cat, shy!" When Li Mu heard his sister say that there was food to eat, he turned his head and raised his right hand, rubbing his face with his index finger nonstop. Although he felt ashamed of his sister's actions, he still replied to Wen Xiu, "Mother, I'm not hungry either."

The Tong Tong Tong ignored his mockery and raised his hand to his ear to make a grimace. After sticking out his tongue, he continued to stare at Wen Xiu, who was cleaning up the organs of the wild chicken.

Seeing that the children were sulking with each other, Wenxiu smiled without saying anything. While she cleaned up the internal organs, she pricked up her ears and listened to the sounds coming from outside the door.

Hm? That man hasn't left yet?
