After being scolded by the village chief, everyone lowered their heads, looking a little ashamed. They seemed to have gone a little too far this time.
had told them that there was food in Matsuyama, and it was all out of good intentions, so they could live a little better. In addition, she had repeatedly warned them not to go into the deep mountains, because they were being greedy.
"Then my child's father died in vain?" However, Sister-in-Law Wu refused to let go. "The family is still so small, how can they live?" She sat down on the ground and began to sob.
Li Qingling looked at him coldly and spoke indifferently, "I have no father and no mother. Bringing my younger brother and sister with me, I am still alive. Compared to her, who could pity her house?
After crying, Sister-in-Law Wu sniffed her nose and said, "You have the ability to hunt, so of course you can live with your younger brother and sister. What about me?" "You don't know anything at all, how can you support four young ones?" If she had Li Qingling's abilities, would she even need to worry?
Was she bluffing?
A flash of ridicule appeared in Li Qingling's eyes, was she really that easy to scam? If it really was like this, she wouldn't need to set up a stall in the town to avoid being fooled by others.
She squatted down and faced Sister-in-law Wu face to face, a smile still hanging on her lips. She asked Sister-in-law Wu, "What does she want?"
After setting up the stall for so long and walking back, she was so tired that she had to quickly settle this matter and rest early.
Sister-in-law Wu and Li Qingling looked at each other, then looked away. He felt that Li Qingling's eyes were as terrifying as a wolf's.
"I... I just want to seek justice for my child's father. I can't let him die in vain like this without even seeing his corpse. "
Having said so, she once again began to mourn, covering her eyes with her hands as she silently cried.
She truly regretted letting her child's father go to the Matsuyama. Otherwise, she would just have to worry about her family being poor, and eating and drinking would be good enough for her, at least she would still be alive.
Li Qingling quietly looked at Sister-in-Law Wu, and only after a long while did she stand up and speak calmly to the Village Chief: "Cun Zhangyeye, you have heard what Sister-in-Law Wu has said, she wants to seek justice for Brother Li." She shrugged her shoulders, "My age is right here, and I'm still a girl. No matter what, it's not my place to fight bear blind, right? "Since it's none of my business, I'll just go in and feed my sister first. She's been crying for so long, I feel so much heartache that I'm going to die."
"Beating up bear blind? Do you want to die? " Upon hearing Li Qingling's words, all the women in the village grabbed onto their husbands' hands in anger, "Wu Chunjiao, if you want to fight bear blind, you can go by yourself. Don't even think of sending those of us to our deaths." Everything else was fine, but regarding the matter of fighting bear blind, they would definitely not agree to it.
"I... When did I say I wanted to fight bear blind? " Sister-in-Law Wu raised her head in astonishment and reached out to pull at Li Qingling's leg, "Li Qingling, stand still. Explain to me clearly, when did I say I was going to fight bear blind? Don't think you can slander me. " She was not an idiot, how could she let the villagers help her fight bear blind?
Once she said it, she would drown in the saliva of the village.
Li Qingling stopped, lowered her eyes, looked at Sister-in-Law Wu, and said with a face full of shock: "Didn't you just say that you can't let Brother Li die in vain, and want to seek justice for him? It's the bear blind that caused Big Brother Li's death. If you want to seek justice, isn't that just looking for it? "
"You … "You are distorting the meaning of my words." Sister-in-law Wu pointed at Li Qingling and scolded, "I never said it like that, you were the one who slandered me."
He really couldn't underestimate Li Qingling. At such a young age, she had already warped the meaning in her words with just a few words.
So vicious …
After being scolded by Sister-in-Law Wu, Li Qingling's expression didn't change at all. She still maintained her composure.
Especially in front of so many people, if she showed any sign of weakness, others would feel that she was too weak to bully, and she would occasionally come to bully them.
This was not what she wanted to see …
She wanted to let everyone in the village know that even if there were only a few children left in her family, it would not be easy to bully them.
If he wanted to bully them, he had to consider his own abilities first.
"Hmm? But that's what I understand from your words. If I didn't understand that, what would you have done? " Li Qingling said as if it was easy to negotiate, "Cun Zhangyeye and the others are all here, if you have anything to say, you should just say it out loud.
When Sister-in-law Wu sensed that everyone was looking at her, she nervously swallowed her saliva, pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "It's your, Li Qingling's, fault anyways. If you didn't let Matsuyama out for a bite, the child's father wouldn't have died in Matsuyama."
She had heard a rumor that Li Qingling had set up a stall in the town. Her business was not bad, she just wanted her to compensate some silver to make things easier for her family.
Heh … Why didn't she say those words to the village head? No matter what, she still bullied her family. No one supported her, and they wanted her to lose a little blood.
This kind of person was like a leech. Once stuck to her, it was impossible to shake him off even if he wanted to.
She wouldn't give such a person a chance …
She raised her eyes to look at the village head, "Cun Zhangyeye, about the matter of Matsuyama having food, I only told you, do you want to inform everyone? It's your decision, so, it's their decision whether or not they want to go to Matsuyama to look for food, am I right? " The Village Chief, this old fox, stood at the side without saying anything. She insisted on dragging him into the water, "Now that this matter has occurred, what do you think we should do?"
She did not believe that the Village Chief would have the nerve to push this matter onto her head. If he were to really push this matter onto her head, then she, the Village Chief, would have truly done it.
Hearing what Li Qingling said, everyone's eyes turned to look at the village chief, what did he say?
The village chief smiled bitterly. This child Li Qingling, was really devilish, if she was a boy, she would definitely become someone great.
"Like I said earlier, the matter of going to the Matsuyama was something that you all volunteered to do. If something happens, you all will blame yourselves for being greedy, and you can't blame anyone." The Village Chief's voice sank, and the aura he exuded was obvious. He looked at Sister-in-Law Wu with shining eyes. "Lady Wu, did you hear me clearly?" If you didn't hear it clearly, I will repeat it a few more times so that you will hear it clearly. " Seeing her expression, Lady Wu could tell that she was up to something. Humph... Did they really think he was dead?
Sister-in-law Wu did not dare to confront the Village Chief. She lowered her head and unwillingly said, "Understood."
She didn't even raise her head when she thought about it. Instead, she glared at Li Qingling.
Her glare was coincidentally seen by Li Qingling, but she did not know that the more people like him paid attention to her, the happier she became.
The village chief looked around at the crowd and coldly snorted, "This matter shall end here. If I find out that someone is causing a ruckus over this matter, don't blame me for using the clan's rules to punish them." He lowered his head after everyone had looked at him. Then, he shook his hand and turned around to leave.
After the Village Chief left, Li Qingling did not look at the crowd. She followed Liu Zhimo in, and with a "pa" sound, she closed the courtyard door.
"Sis, are you alright?" Li Qingfeng carried Li Qingning and walked out quickly. He looked at Li Qingling worriedly, because if people from the village came to their house to cause trouble and his sister wasn't at home, they wouldn't dare to open the door. They could only hide, feeling that he was very useless, unable to help their sister.
Li Qingling reached out and hugged Li Qingning, and kissed her cheeks. She shook his head at Li Qingfeng, "Big sister is fine, don't worry." She raised her hand and patted Li Qingfeng's head, "Where's Shi Zhiruo?"
"Rou Rou is also crying from fright. Zhi Yan is hugging her in his room, coaxing her to sleep!" Li Qingfeng glanced at Li Qinglin, then lowered his head and twisted his fingers, and muttered: "Sis, am I very useless?" If only he could grow up faster. When he grew up, no one would dare to bully their sister.
"No, Xiao Feng is really good. Not only is he able to help big sister take care of her little sister, he's also able to help make baskets for his. If it wasn't for Xiao Feng's help, big sister would definitely be so busy that she wouldn't be able to leave." The little guy's thoughts were too sensitive. If he wasn't guided properly, it would be detrimental to his growth. "Big sister thanks you, for helping big sister so much."
"Really?" One day when Li Qingling spoke, Li Qingfeng's eyes were shining. Was he really that good? Could his sister have been trying to comfort him?
"Of course …" Li Qingling nodded her head heavily, his eyes turned back to Liu Zhimo and blinked his eyes at him, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhi Moge."
Liu Zhimo laughed, without waiting for Li Qingfeng to speak, he nodded his head to, "Xiao Feng is indeed great, I have helped big brother and sister a lot, thank you." The little guy having this kind of heart was very touching.
Receiving the praise of his big brother and big sister, Li Qingfeng grinned widely, "I … …. I'll do more. " Help your older brother and sister share more, so they won't be so tired.
"Good boy!" Li Qingling shoved Li Qingning back into his embrace and pinched his face, "Hug your little sister in. The wind here is strong, don't catch a cold."
Li Qingfeng nodded and smiled as he carried Li Qingning into the room.
When Li Qingfeng left, Li Qingling's upright waist instantly collapsed.
Although she didn't let Sister-in-Law Wu take advantage of her, she still felt uncomfortable when she thought of Big Brother Li, who was gone.
In this era, without a family head, it felt like the sky was falling.
Liu Zhimo pulled Li Qingling into the kitchen, and when Li Qingling was still confused, he reached out and hugged her, "Let's let you lean on me." "Don't blame yourself. It's none of your business." There was no need to blame herself for the mistakes of those people.
