But in the end, she still felt pity for her. She took Madam Liu's hand and said seriously, "Da Ya and Hu Zi are still young. Just for them, you have to stand up."
Hearing what she said, Madam Liu's eyes turned red and she said with a hint of sobs, "What my sister-in-law said is, I know, I know..."
Seeing her fragile look, Li Changqing shook his head. He knew what the use was, so he had to do it. Although for Tiezhu's sake, he would definitely help if he could, but he also had a big family to ask for. I'm busy, but there's only so much I can do to help.
Besides, how can you just point to others for help? You still have to stand up for yourself.
Seeing now, what Li Xi still doesn't understand is that the village chief's family is full of goodwill towards them.
"Auntie, I understand what you mean. I will take good care of the family."
When Li Changqing heard what Li Xi said, he glanced at her in surprise. It was not like he had never seen this girl before. Her temperament was the same as that of her mother. He never expected that she would say that.
"Oh, Da Ya has grown up," Dong Fengxia patted Madam Liu's hand and said sincerely, "Your days of happiness are in the future, so you have to stand firm now.
In two years' time, when Hu Zi grows up and marries a wife, it will be easy for you. "
"Hey, I know, I know." Madam Liu smiled shyly at her.
"Ahem." Li Changqing coughed twice and said, "I called you here today to let your sister-in-law enlighten you. Life for you orphans and widowed mothers must be difficult. If you need help, just ask.
If Li Yinzhu dares to find trouble with you, you can come directly to me. There will be no bullying of orphans and widows in our village. "
Hearing what he said, Mrs. Liu was very moved, her eyes were red, and she thanked her with a choked voice, and then told her about Mrs. Li's visit that day.
"What!" Li Changqing looked ugly. Although he had known for a long time that Tiezhu's brother and his mother did not want to see their family, he never expected that Tiezhu's mother would bring Li Yinzhu to the door and force his eldest sister-in-law to remarry before Tie Zhu's body was cold. Who should he think? Don't know what they are thinking.
Dong Fengxia was also furious when she heard this, "It's really shameful. Brothers and sisters, don't be afraid, we will support you!"
Li Xi looked at the indignant couple across from him and lowered his eyes. It might as well be said that although he had shocked Mrs. Li that day, money and silk moved people's hearts. Who knows how many days they could be shocked.
There is a saying that the county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now. Mrs. Li dare not not listen to the village chief, otherwise she will not get anything good in this village.
"Uncle Changqing, you also know what kind of people my grandma and second uncle are. They came to my father's house before his body was cold and wanted to force our mother to death. Last time, my grandma took my second uncle to our house and wanted to beat her with a stick. Damn you, wuwuwu..." Li Xi said, his shoulders trembling and he lowered his head.
"Sister, don't cry, Hu Zi is not afraid, Hu Zi will protect sister." Hu Zi held back his mouth and tugged on Li Xi's sleeve.
Seeing Hu Zi's sensible look, Dong Fengxia's eyes turned red, and she cursed in her heart, Mrs. Li was really nothing, she could kill even her own grandson.
Li Changqing said with a dark face, "Huzi, don't cry. I'll go to Li Yinzhu's house to talk to your grandma soon."
Hearing this, Li Xi raised his red eyes and said, "Thank you, Uncle Changqing."
"Thank you, we are all a family. If you want anything, just ask." Dong Fengxia looked at Li Xi's well-behaved look and scolded Mrs. Li Li again for being a dishonest person.
"Leave this matter to me, Tiezhu's mother-in-law. I have asked you to come here today for something else. Now that spring has begun, the weather will get warm soon. What are your plans for your land?"
When they were separated, they did not get any land. The three acres of land they have now were all purchased by Li Tiezhu later. Mrs. Liu has a weak temperament and a delicate body. Li Tiezhu has always been responsible for the work in the land. The lady just gives you food and water.
Three acres of land was obviously not enough for a weak and disabled family like theirs.
"Village Chief, I can do it. The child's father is gone, and we, the three mothers, have to live on these three acres of land. Even if I die, I will take care of it."
"Brothers and sisters, what is immortal is unlucky to say the least. You have children, and your good days are yet to come. However, my old man said this not because he was thinking about your family."
She had to keep this in mind, otherwise people would complain if she didn't do things well.
"Uncle Changqing, aunt, we all know that you are really doing it for our own good. The work in this field is indeed too heavy for us to do."
Huzi is still young and can't do the work in the fields at all. She and Aniang don't seem to be able to do it. When the time comes, they will be exhausted and it won't be worth it.
"Da Ya!" Mrs. Li frowned and glanced at her, obviously saying this without hiding from her, how can they live without land.
"You are a sensible person." Li Changqing said to Li Xi without looking at Madam Liu, "Then what are you going to do?"
"Uncle Changqing, do you think this will work? We have a total of three acres of land. We will rent two acres to you and plant the remaining one ourselves. We don't want any rent. When the food is harvested, we will just give you some food." .”
It is not easy to make money just by digging food in the fields, unless you are a big landowner. Obviously, their family does not have this condition, and Li Xi has already thought of a way to make money.
Renting the land to the village chief's family can be regarded as making the relationship between his family and his family stronger. Although there is the friendship of his cheap father, friendship has always been getting thinner with use, and it is still a benefit. more reliable.
Moreover, many of my subsequent ideas still need the support of the village chief Li Changqing before they can be implemented.
After all, pulling the tiger's skin is the only way to raise the banner.
"Da Ya..." Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter who was chatting in a daze, feeling vaguely strange. She still had the same appearance, but she still felt that something was wrong.
Dong Fengxia felt that Li Xi was a successful person, "Brothers and sisters, Da Ya is a successful person."
She was completely satisfied with Li Xi's proposal to rent the land to them. She just wanted to give them some food when the time comes. What does this mean? Food is grown in the land, so if you rent someone else's land, you still have to pay rent.
For farmers, food is important, but money is even more important.
In Mrs. Liu's trance, Li Xi and Li Changqing had negotiated about renting land, and it was time for lunch. Dong Fengxia asked them to let them eat.
Li Xi would naturally not stay in any house without a wink. After politely refusing, Li Xi left with his mother and younger brother.
Dong Fengxia sent them out and watched them go away before returning to the house.
Looking at Li Changqing smoking a cigarette, Dong Fengxia said with disgust, "Li Yinzhu is really not a fucking thing!"
"Isn't she always like that? Okay, I'll find time to go to Li Yinzhu's house. What they did is really outrageous." Li Changqing knocked the ashes from his cigarette and said with emotion, "Brother Tiezhu Life is miserable—"
Dong Fengxia also sighed, "I think Da Ya is a successful person. With her support, the family should be better off."
