Old Mrs. Li smoothly took the boiled potato powder from the pot and brought it with Wen Xiu's earthen basin along with her.

Li Lu laughed!

Lee Gou Dan was overjoyed!

As Wen Xiu and Liu Da He watched the Li family members' victorious' departing figures, a smile appeared on their faces at the same time. The former was because he had finally left the entanglement of the Li family, while the latter was happy for Wen Xiu.

"Li Zheng, thank you for today!"

If it weren't for Liu Da He's words that led to Old Lady Li's army today, perhaps the relationship would have been severed and the Li Family would have taken away from them. In the end, the relationship would have been severed and there wouldn't be a roof over their heads anymore.

Liu Da He looked back at Wen Xiu, whose skin was fair but had some color to her face. He smiled and shook his head. Remembering the purpose of his visit today, he handed a basket covered with lotus leaves to Wen Xiu. "Well, there's some rice inside. You can cook some porridge and give it to the children to drink." "The child is still young, so it's time for him to grow up. It's impossible for him to just eat potatoes."

Inside the basket was Liu Da He's special 10 Jin of rice!

Wenxiu did not extend her hand and directly rejected Liu Da He's good intentions. Although Liu Da He was the head of the village and the yamen would give him some money every month, his wife had died early, leaving behind three young children. Now that the eldest son was nearing the age to get married, the second son and youngest son were already twelve or thirteen years old. In order to get the son married, their family wasn't too well off, and they wouldn't even be able to eat two large meals a year.

Wenxiu did not put the matter bluntly. She only told him to bring the food back and eat it himself before changing the topic. "Zhongzheng, today, the Li Family promised to sever all ties with me. "If you really want to help me and my child, then please come over and write a contract to sever all relations and have the Li family sign their seals."

Liu Da He was startled, and said in shock: "As the chief of the village, the Li family members have agreed to help me, and in the future, they will not go back on their words. You don't trust me? "

The woman in the countryside was illiterate and short-sighted. It was impossible for her to consider things for so long. Even he didn't think that today's incident would require evidence written in black and white. He was a witness today, and in the future, he wouldn't let the Li family members mess around as they pleased.

When Wen Xiu heard this, she shook her head and said, "What if there's a day that isn't there?"

Not here? Why isn't he here? He …

Liu Da He was depressed. Wen Xiu was implying that he would die without a proof in case of an accident? After thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved. After all, no one knew who would come sooner or later.

"Alright, I'll write a written contract and have the Li family press their fingers. When I go back to the yamen to settle the matter of registration with Li Jun, I'll settle it for you alone …" "Wen Xiu, do you accept these grains?"

"No need, the potatoes are good enough."

"You really don't need it?"

"En!"

When Wen Xiu stubbornly refused, Liu Da He's burning heart became colder and colder. Finally, he silently sighed and turned around to leave with the basket.

The men from the Li family left. Liu Da He also left. Wen Xiu returned to the courtyard. The two children freed themselves from Song Xiaoyue's grasp and threw themselves into her embrace. The three of them hugged each other for a while, causing Song Xiaoyue's nose to ache.

Song Xiaoyue couldn't eat anymore. She finished the remaining two mouthfuls of potato flour and left the bowl to herself. Lee Goudan smashed a bowl. If she didn't stay, one of the three would still be unable to eat. Just thinking about it makes them sad.

Wenxiu did not force him. She sent Song Xiaoyue out. After she distributed the leftovers from her bowl to the two children, she carried the wooden bucket to the well to wash. After that, he filled his family's water jar with water and returned the Wang family's wooden bucket. When she arrived at the Wang family residence, a few of the Wang family's sister-in-law were in the midst of criticizing Song Xiaoyue.

When Song Xiaoyue saw Wen Xiu return the bucket, she didn't pay any attention to her sister-in-law. She smiled as she took the bucket and signaled for her sister-in-law to leave as soon as possible.

Wenxiu felt somewhat apologetic in her heart. If it wasn't for her coming to borrow a pail in the morning, this wouldn't have happened. "Mistress Yue, I'm sorry. It was all my fault."

"What are you talking about? If I don't go, can you tie me up? What's more, I'm greedy anyway. What does it have to do with you if I eat your family's food? "Alright, I'm fine. Hurry up and go back."

As Song Xiaoyue spoke, she pushed Wenxiu out of the courtyard.

Wenxiu felt very sorry, but there was nothing she could do. She could only remember Song Xiaoyue's number in her heart.

Not long after, sharp and harsh curses came from the Wang family's courtyard. This time, Song Xiaoyue couldn't hold it in any longer. She opened her mouth and returned it. The Wang Courtyard immediately became lively. Even from afar, one could hear her sister-in-law swearing and swearing.

Liu Dahe was very efficient, he had settled the matter before nightfall. Taking advantage of the time the villagers were eating, he sent over a document containing the seal of the hands of Old Lady Li and Old Lady Li. In triplicate, one for the Li family, one for her, and one for Liu Da He. As long as she placed her fingerprint on it, this document would take effect.

Wenxiu held the paper and read it twice in black and white. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the contents, she was finally relieved. Her thumb dipped red mud into the imprint and pressed the imprint onto the paper. However, the fact that she could read a word was enough to shock Liu Dahe, leaving him at a loss for what to do.

"Wenxiu, you actually …"

Wenxiu did not know that her actions were a little too surprising. With all her heart set on the document in her hands, she said, "Li Zheng, thank you so much. I just need to trouble you to make a trip to the Li family and send a copy back."

Liu Da He's words were interrupted. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and answered with a "En", "It's alright. I'll send them out while the Li family members are still here."

"Thank you!"

"Wenxiu, do you really have to be so courteous with me? "Actually, my heart …"

"Li Zheng, it's getting late, you should also go home quickly, don't let the children wait for you."

"..." "Alright!"

Liu Da He looked disappointed as he took the document with Wen Xiu's handprint and left. The scholar let out a long sigh of relief. It would have been fine if he was interested in Liu Da He, but he was not his own dish at all! Sigh, the feeling of rejecting someone was really not good!

Wenxiu sighed and closed the door before turning around and entering the kitchen.

Outside the courtyard, two tall figures were whispering to each other. "The Xitang Village is too shameless here. They actually want us to eat young grass."

"He's only thirty-seven!"

"Madam is only twenty!"

"Indeed, I am only twenty-five years old!"

"But, tell me, since this grandpa knows that the Madam has broken off all relations with the Li family, how would he react?"

"We'll know when we go back and take a look!"

The words faded into the night.
