Knowing that he was treating her, Meng Li still felt like she hated iron.
"Renting it out is much better than charging fifty kilograms of rice, right?"
"Yes, we rented out an acre of land for one tael of silver, but we were young and soft-hearted at that time. Your uncle and uncle said some good things, so we planted the land for them, and then we were busy earning money for medical expenses. I didn’t pay attention to the farm matters, and all these years have passed by.”
There was a total of one hundred kilograms of rice, and the difference between it and six taels of silver made Meng Li almost vomit blood.
Meng Ning saw that Meng Li had a sullen face and didn't speak, and she felt even less confident. She sighed: "Sister, we know it's better to rent out, but we haven't made a big fuss before, and we still care about family ties, so - "
"Second brother, we take care of them, do they take care of our family?"
"One acre of land will produce three hundred kilograms of rice. If you hand over six acres of paddy fields, you will only get one hundred kilograms of rice in the last year. There is not enough food for each mouth. There are still four people in our family. The money you earn will go to There must be a lot of stickers on the rations.”
Meng Ning suddenly felt ashamed. If he had cared about any relatives in the past, the last thought in his mind was extinguished after his uncle's visit yesterday.
The third uncle's family is not innocent either. Yesterday, the third uncle and his aunt were in the crowd and did not say a word to the orphans. The third aunt even went through things with the big house.
I also thought about how when they had no food rations, they went to ask for help from their eldest uncle and uncle's house, but they all said that they had already given them what was due and drove them away.
Perhaps these big houses and three houses have been planted for a long time, and they have also formed a kind of psychological inertia.
"Sister, I——"
"No, all these fields must be returned to our hands." Meng Li said firmly.
"Even if we don't grow it ourselves, renting it out won't make it cheaper for these people."
If these lands are cultivated by people with three or three bedrooms, they will regard them as their own fields. The further back they go, the harder it will be to come back.
After Meng Li said this, Meng Yao immediately nodded: "Yes, if you want to come back, why should we give our own land to others?"
Meng Ning also supports coming back. Yes, the eldest sister has woken up. They don't have to worry about medical bills and their own land should come back.
"Then when eldest brother comes back, let's go to the uncle's house together and tell them that our family wants to farm its own land."
There is a big brother who can fight. Wherever he stops, his momentum will be different, and he is more likely to come back.
Although the family members had been confused before, it was not difficult to guide them, and Meng Li thought it was pretty good.
She must return to these fields. Living in the countryside, fields are the foundation and the last resort.
In the afternoon, Meng Li was playing with her legs in the room.
She used everything she could in the space, even though there wasn't much available now.
As evening approached, she tried to stand up by holding on to the handrails on both sides. Her right foot felt a little supportive when she stepped on the ground. Her left foot was still relatively helpless, but there was also a tingling sensation when it touched the ground.
Meng Li stood still dangerously, because she was using all her strength to hold on, sweat broke out on her forehead, and her body swayed. She quickly grabbed the head of the bed, then held the bed with her hands and moved towards the end of the bed.
Although it was strenuous, walking was easier than she thought. As long as she took this step and practiced more, she would get better faster than she expected.
By the end of the bed, Meng Li was already sweating profusely.
But that weak left foot also has a little feeling of walking.
Meng Li looked at the wall. There was a distance from the end of the bed to the wall. What she had to do now was to walk to the top of the wall without holding on to anything.
She took a deep breath, calmed down, and then moved in small steps.
The sense of weightlessness that was coming at any time gave her a hint of instinctive fear. Her legs, which had not walked for many years, seemed to be filled with lead. Every step she took was very difficult and was still wobbling.
But Meng Li can overcome it.
When she was almost at the top of the wall, she finally gritted her teeth and couldn't hold on anymore. She leaned over and grabbed the edge of the wall.
Sweat rolled down his eyebrows and into his eyes, making his vision blurry.
However, the initial attempt was successful, and a smile appeared on the corner of Meng Li's mouth.
"Second brother." She called.
Meng Ning was rushing furniture in the yard when she heard her eldest sister calling her to put down what she was doing.
"Hey sister, the second brother is here."
The door to the room was ajar, but now Meng Li reached out and opened it.
Seeing the eldest sister standing on the edge of the wall, Meng Ning's eyes suddenly lit up: "eldest sister, can you stand up?"
The eldest sister was sweating profusely. She must have suffered a lot while practicing walking. He couldn't help but admire her perseverance.
"Second brother, I can stand up. It's just that my legs are not used to it for a while. Second brother, go find me a crutch. I want to practice walking more," Meng Li said.
"Okay, great. You go back to the wheelchair and rest. I'll make you a crutch right away."
Then Meng Ning helped Meng Li back to the wheelchair.
Meng Li was indeed tired and needed to rest for a while.
Making crutches was quick. Meng Ning fiddled around in the yard for a while, and a pair of crutches was ready, one on each side.
"Sister, try it. If it doesn't work, I'll make it again for you."
Over there, Mrs. Shen scolded her again: "A bitch like this who has been punished by the gods needs to be disabled for the rest of her life. Others can walk, but she can't. God is not blind and has given her retribution in advance."
She couldn't figure it out after much thought and had no evidence, so she could only make trouble like this.
The side door of the yard was not very strong, and it was blown open by the wind at some point.
At this time, Mrs. Shen saw Meng Li coming out of the room holding a pair of crutches, and then practicing walking in the yard.
Shen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She thought Meng Li would have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of her life, and she thought about how to teach her a lesson while taking advantage of her inconvenience.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye she would throw away the wheelchair and pick up the crutches. In less than two days, she would throw away the crutches and walk like a normal person.
Thinking of Dawang's hand becoming like that, he still had to pay so much medical expenses.
Meng Li's condition got better and better, and Shen's whole body trembled.
Then he howled again: "God, you have no eyes after all. Open your eyes and take a look. Some people deserve retribution. Even children will not be spared. A thousand cuts is not enough."
Meng Li wanted to laugh after hearing this, looked up and said loudly.
"Auntie, you are not blind and you have no eyes. Are you blind or not?"
"Damn girl, you made my family prosperous, you think this is the end of it."
"Your family deserves to be prosperous. Death is not a pity." Meng Li sneered.
This kid is born bad.
Then she ignored Shen and concentrated on practicing walking.
Mrs. Shen couldn't help but rush over to reason, Meng Ning picked up the woodcutter beside the courtyard wall and rushed towards her.
"Auntie, if I hurt someone while protecting my eldest sister, that's called self-defense and there will be no prison sentence."
