CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR The Uncles of the Outer Family (5)

Zhang Yaomei used her toes to think about it, shsheknew that these children did not have much to eat, so she took out some money to ask the Auntie Li next door to cut half a piece of meat, and then asked someone to buy some vegetables and mixed food noodles. After returning back home and neatly cleaning up, he cooked hot noodles for Li Yannian and the others.

The few of them were really hungry, and were not afraid of the heat, they kept sucking at the big bowl, feeling that Zhang Yaomei's pot of noodles was so delicious that it could make people swallow their tongues.

As Li Yannian was snoring the noodles, he did not forget to give Zhang Yaomei a thumbs up, "Grandma, this noodles smells so good!"

Seeing that she was eating so well, Zhang Yaomei squinted his eyes in satisfaction: "It's really that delicious?"

Mao Dou quickly replied with a nod. "Grandmother, this is the most delicious noodles I've ever eaten!"

The smirk deepened at the corner of Zhang Yaomei's eyes.

Zhang Yaomei was even more concerned about it than Li Yannian and the rest. She did not wait for them to confirm and asked anxiously, "How is it, what did the Li Family say?"

Xu Zhangshu glanced at three siblings, only then did Zhang Yaomei react, and pointed at his youngest son, Zhang Sibao. She assigned some tasks to him: "Xiao Bao, bring your nieces and nephew out to buy some fun, see if anyone is here, buy some sweets for them."

The pile of food that the Zhang siblings had brought back contained sugar. These words clearly indicated that they wanted to part with them. Looks like the Li family really isn't willing to let him go …

Although Li Yannian didn't know exactly what the two families said, he knew clearly in her heart that this time, Zhang Yaomei would definitely not be able to bring them away.

However, she was still curious about the Li family's reaction. The Li family was being so unfair in this matter, so there was no reason for the Zhang family to let them off so easily. Her eyes rolled and turned, and then decided on Little Uncle.

When they left the house, Black Bean led Mao Dou to walk in front. Li Yannian shook Zhang Sibao's hand and asked in a spoiled tone, "Little Uncle, when are we going to go home? In the morning, Auntie stuffed the sugar. Why did Grandmother want us to buy the sugar? "Why don't I just go back and pack my stuff, or else I won't be able to pick up my things before I leave."

Zhang Sibao was a little helpless, his face flushed red from anxiousness, "Ah, red beans … "The sugar Aunt gave us isn't tasty, let's go buy something even more tasty …"

Li Yannian opened her eyes wide, as if she didn't understand what she meant, "But the sugar that Aunt gave me was something I ate in the morning, and it was much sweeter than the candy that I brought over. Little Uncle, why don't you go with my brother and the others, I'll go back and help Grandma pack. "

Seeing that she was really going to return home after getting rid of his hand, Zhang Sibao clenched his teeth, since he would have to say it sooner or later. He straightened his neck and said: "Come back, Red Bean!"

Looking at his niece's confused expression, he felt heartache and guilt. "Your grandfather can't bear for you to leave and won't let grandmother and uncles bring you home …" But, Red Bean, don't be sad. Grandmother and uncles will come to your village to see you whenever they have time. "

Li Yannian blinked and nodded: "Oh, then Little Uncle, you should come visit us more often. Otherwise, uncle and third uncle will come and bully us again. "

Speaking of the Li Family members, Zhang Sibao's eyes burned with anger: "Don't worry, even if you give them ten guts, they wouldn't dare. Grandfather has already brought back your family's three acres of land. Since this matter is being witnessed, they can't go back on their word. "In addition, the other two families will each compensate you with two taels of silver. Consider it as the money for the food in this half a year, and also the money for taking your family's items."

Unexpectedly, his silent grandfather's negotiating methods were not bad! They actually forced the two families to spit out food that entered their stomachs.

"Is this all Grandfather wants back? Grandfather is so powerful! "

Zhang Sibao was struck by her sparkling, starry eyes and couldn't help but reach out to stroke her head.

"Not all of them are for my grandfather to come back. Your grandma knows what your eldest uncle and third uncle are doing, but your grandpa doesn't. That was why everything had gone so smoothly. I see that your grandfather is also a fool, he actually thought that you had already reported your loss to our family … As for the rest of you, sigh, he still hates your dad. "

Just as he finished speaking, he realized that Black Bean and Mao Dou, who were walking in front, had suddenly turned back and just happened to hear everything he said, making him feel a little awkward. Originally, these things should not have been said by him, but somehow fell out.

Mao Dou was still young, so he didn't understand. At the same time, only Black Bean and Li Yannian had thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Only now did Li Yannian understand why the Li Clan Elder would not care about his direct relatives for half a year. She had thought that it was because Li Hongshan did not like the two elders, but in the end, it was all because of the matter of the branch family.

From the looks of it, Old Man Li only had an unyielding character, and could not bear to see his sons and daughters resisting and challenging his authority. Although their actions were tyrannical, at the very least, they still remembered some kinship. Then the one who stirred up trouble between the Zhang and Li families for so many years should be Lady Li.

When he thought about the fight between the Li Clan and the Li Clan just now, in just a few minutes, Li Yannian was completely sure that she really couldn't like the Li Clan anymore.

Zhang Sibao sighed, the three children that Third Sister left behind were really painful, obedient and sensible. If he had known earlier, he would have let his parents go to the Li Family to cause trouble, and secretly raise the children at home. However, it was too late now.

After a long while, he finally choked out a sentence: "Black Bean, as a brother, you are very good!"

The way he said it sounded a bit weird, but the three siblings understood what he meant.

Li Yannian giggled: "That's true, my brother is the best brother in the world."

Mao Dou also covered his mouth and laughed. "In the future, I want to be the best brother in the world."

Li Yannian poked his forehead, "Are you stupid? You're the little brother, and the best brother is something you can't do anymore, so just be the most obedient little brother."

Mao Dou was the most tactful. He nodded his head as if he was pounding garlic. "Yes, I'm the most obedient."

Zhang Sibao was amused by the siblings' conversation, and his heavy mood relaxed a lot. When the four of them returned home, they saw Zhang Yaomei looking at the three siblings, somewhat hesitating to speak. Zhang Sibao pursed his lips into a smile, "Mother, they already know about it. "Don't make things difficult for yourself."

Zhang Yaomei looked at three siblings in disbelief. None of their faces had anything strange, how did it look like they had heard of him not bringing them back to Zhang Village?

Black Bean opened his mouth at the right moment: "Little Uncle has indeed already told us. Grandmother, Grandfather, don't worry, I'll take good care of my brother and sister. I'll come visit you guys when I have time. "

Zhang Yaomei rubbed the wet corner of her eyes. She felt a little sad but at the same time, she felt a little happy. If you say so, Granny will be relieved. Today, your grandfather asked your grandpa for five taels of silver. Your grandpa asked your grandpa for five taels of silver. But don't be afraid, if she dares to cause trouble, Black Bean, you go and find your grandfather. Your grandfather's words are all over there. If the Li Clan ever does anything out of line again, then write a letter of rest for the Li Clan! "

Li Yannian and Black Bean were both shocked. Li Yannian was shocked that Little Uncle did not mention a single word to them just now because of such a huge matter. Black Bean, on the other hand, felt that his grandfather's reaction was somewhat puzzling. All these years, he had never seen the Li Clan lose so much face!

Li Yannian understood after she thought about it carefully. With the Li family deliberately obstructing the Zhang mother and daughter meeting all these years, the Old Man Li was unable to stand up straight in front of the Zhang family, not to mention that the Li family had allowed their eldest son and youngest son to bully the second family members. The matter was too excessive, to the point that the family on the other side of the mountain was alarmed. It must be because Old Man Li wanted to use the matter of Lady Li to block the Zhang Clan's mouth, which was why she deliberately gave face to Madame Li.

The Li family had suffered a loss of heart this time. Even their old branch family's silver coins had been taken out by the Zhang family. Li Yannian could not help but want to laugh, for the two brothers to take out five taels of silver, it was really not an easy task, she did not know how they would feel at home. If the Li family were to come and cause trouble for her, she was not afraid. At that time, it would be as Zhang Yaomei had said, she would run towards the Li family.

Zhang Yaomei continued to speak, "Other than the silver from your grandfather's and grandmother's families, as well as the silver from your uncle and third uncle's families, all of these are already available. If those two families come and cause trouble again, it's the same, go complain to the Old Man Li. "

"The Li family gives me a total of nine liang of silver. Grandmother and Grandfather can arrange it for you. With fifteen liang of silver in your hand, you can still find someone to build the house for you." Black Bean, keep this three acre land deed properly. When it's spring and Grandmother asks your uncle to come and help, there's not much else in our family, there are a lot of uncles. The uncles go round and round one day, and all the work in the field is done. "

Li Yannian had originally thought that within his family's three acres of land, there would be more people who would have to pay for it. According to what she had heard, the meager yield per mu and the taxes on the crops would not be enough to pay. This time, hearing Zhang Yaomei say that a few uncles from the outer sect would come to help him, she calmed down.

It was already late in the night, if Zhang Family did not continue on the road, they would reach home in the dark. When they parted ways, Zhang Yaomei wiped away her tears and pulled Li Yannian's hand. She looked again and again, but she just could not move. Xu Zhangshu wasn't as emotional as her old wife, he merely caressed three siblings's head lovingly, giving them a few words of advice before coming to the Zhang Family Village. Then, he left without turning back.

The three uncles looked at each other, then scratched their heads and followed Xu Zhangshu.

Zhang Yaomei was unable to do so and could only be unwilling to look at the three siblings. With each step she took, she turned her head and gradually, the Zhang Family's figure finally disappeared into the distance.

Li Yannian raised her head and looked at his brother, just in time to see Black Bean also looking at her and Mao Dou. She grinned and pulled their hands from left to right. "Brother, let's go home!"

Black Bean nodded strongly, a smile appearing in his eyes: "En, let's go home …"
