MTL - Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.-Chapter 19 Our two families are no longer related!

Chapter 19 Our two families are no longer related!

The village chief bought a roasted chicken and a jar of strong liquor. They returned to the village and went up the mountain together. I don't know if he wanted to report to his deceased brother.

 The Li family, young and old, were all happy when they saw the deed.

Everyone came up to have a look and touch, and then they became more and more enthusiastic about cleaning their new home.

 In the main room lived Mrs. Li and Jiayin, and in the west room lived the Jiaren brothers.

Then the south room in the east wing was given to Li Lao Er and his wife, and the north house was given to Li Lao San.

 The south room of the west wing was given to Li Laosi and Tao Hongying, while the north room was locked and temporarily used as a warehouse.

 The two wing rooms are just for men and women to use as washrooms, and can also be used to dry underwear and the like.

To avoid any embarrassment if so many people live together.

The winter here in Kyoto is not considered warm, so every house has a heated kang, which makes the Li family even more satisfied.

Li Laoer followed behind my mother and was busy making a list.

 Kang mats, new window paper, oil, salt, soy and vinegar, rice, flour, grain and oil, pottery pots and jars are all needed.

Mrs. Li received the good news and gave the money to Tao Hongying and Li Yuru. Li Laosi and Jiayi followed and hurried into the city to buy.

 Good news can’t help, so try not to cause trouble. I pee a few times when I'm hungry, and when I'm really bored, I go to bed.

Such a well-behaved person made Mrs. Li and her family members even more happy. Anyone who came over would kiss her little face.

The Li family is so busy and making a lot of noise, so naturally people in the village heard about it.

Three women came back from the fields and gathered at the entrance of the village to chat.

“I heard from the village chief’s wife that someone else has moved into the big yard at the foot of the mountain.”

One of the women lived next door to the village chief’s house and quickly shared her newfound conversational skills with the others.

"Has that yard been bought? How much money did it cost? How brave. Don't they know how Zhang Laokui died?" someone exclaimed.

“I heard it was one hundred taels, and the family paid the silver without blinking an eye.”

 The woman seemed to be watching Mrs. Li hand over the money at the scene, gesticulating excitedly.

"This family is really rich. Although the yard is a bit dirty, it is really a good yard. I heard that Zhang Laokui spent more than one hundred taels when he built it. Now it only costs one hundred taels to add ten acres of land. The new It’s a real advantage to come here!”

"Who says it's not the case? The village chief said that the family came to our village yesterday to seek refuge with relatives. The relatives refused to take them in, so they had to buy a place to live. I don't know which lard family was deceived, and they were able to take such a rich person. Relatives turned away.”

Liu Tiezhu's wife, who was standing not far away, turned green and red after hearing this, and her intestines turned green with regret.

 She turned around and ran towards the yard at the foot of the mountain...

The Li family was busy inside, and the bluestone floor was washed with water to make it look fresh.

Liu Tiezhu's wife looked at it for a long time. She was in a daze and didn't even know how she got home.

Ms. Guo was setting the fire to cook and was about to scold her daughter-in-law for being lazy, when she heard that the Li family had bought a yard for one hundred taels.

 She jumped up from her chair immediately, "Impossible, when did the Li family become so rich!"

Had they known this was the case, they should have imprisoned the Li family yesterday. Even if they wanted to drive them away, they would have to defraud the money out of them!

 “Go and have a look over there!”

Mrs. Guo was unwilling to do anything about it. Mrs. Li was the children's aunt. Now that she was prosperous, how could she let her nephew suffer?

 She has to take the money from Mrs. Li!

Liu Tiezhu and Liu Laifu also had this intention, and the whole family rushed to the foot of the mountain.

"Oh, eldest sister, you said it was true of you. You didn't even say a word to us when you left. I specially asked my daughter-in-law to cook for you this morning, but as soon as I opened the door, you were nowhere to be seen."

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Ms. Guo approached Mrs. Li, her attitude many times more enthusiastic than yesterday.

Old Mrs. Li raised her eyelids and glanced at her, and responded coldly, "Aren't you afraid that we will stay at your house?"

Guo was embarrassed, but still defended shamelessly.

"Eldest sister has misunderstood, and you have also seen it. Our family is poor and only has a few houses. Aren't we afraid that eldest sister will dislike it?" After finishing speaking, she looked at the big yard greedily and asked.

"Sister, I heard that you bought this yard? Oh, it's a mess here. Everything needs to be cleaned up now. I'll ask Zhu Zhu and the others to help."

Liu Tiezhu and others pretended to roll up their sleeves to help, but in fact their eyes were fixed on the Li family’s luggage bags.

Just as Li Laosi and Tao Hongying came back from outside, they all looked bad when they saw the Liu family there.

Li Laosi even chased people away directly, "We don't need your help, you should leave quickly!"

Liu Laifu already disliked Li Laosi, but upon hearing his words, jealousy and unwillingness surged up in his heart like fire.

"You just bought a yard, what are you proud of? Let me tell you, our family has lived in this village for more than ten years. If you dare to offend our family, you will definitely not be able to live in this village!"

Jiayin had just been picked up by Tao Hongying and was sleeping in a daze. Hearing the Liu family's clamor again makes them even more tired.

 It was rare for her to burst into tears!

This was like a hornet's nest. The Li family threw away what they were doing and rushed over.

 “What’s wrong with Fu Niu’er? Are you scared?”

“I must have been frightened. I heard a dog barking just after I woke up!”

Old Mrs. Li was also very distressed. She was still a little soft-hearted towards the Liu family, but she immediately disappeared without a trace.

She hugged her granddaughter and coaxed her, while pointing to the door to chase people away.

“Leave quickly and don’t come back again. As we said last night, Liu Gen’er died and our two families are no longer related.”

 “Damn old woman, who do you dare to chase away!”

Liu Laifu had a bad temper and raised his hand to hit Mrs. Li, but Mrs. Li pinched her arm.

Liu Laifu screamed in pain, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Ms. Guo wanted to step forward to help her son, but was so frightened by Li Laosi’s look that she did not dare to move.

Liu Laifu was so painful that he almost fainted. He felt as if his arm was broken, and then Li Laosi suddenly threw him away.

 “Get out! Don’t let me see you again!”

The Liu family members hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Laifu and stumbled out.

Jiayin was very relieved and spat at their backs.

 Unfortunately, she didn't have much strength, and the saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth and fell into her neck instead.

Just in time, Mrs. Li and Mr. Li saw this scene, and they burst out laughing.

 “Oh, my Fu Niu’er is so awesome, she even spits on her!” “Even though Fu Niu’er is young, she can still tell the difference between good and bad!”

Everyone was laughing and teasing Jiayin one after another, making Jiayin blush.

 Old Mrs. Li waved her hand and gave instructions to her children and grandchildren.

“Our family has settled down, and there may be good and bad things in the future. But we must be ambitious and work together to live a good life!”

The Li family members responded in unison, "Don't worry, Mom, we will work hard."

“Grandma, let’s be obedient too.”

 At sunset, the new home was finally ready for habitation.

Tao Hongying cooked a large pot of porridge, added wild vegetables, and tore up a roast chicken bought in the city. The first meal of her new home was ready.

The family sat together, ignoring the disgusting looks of Wu Cuihua and Wu Ergou frantically grabbing the roast chicken, and they all felt very comfortable.

 After running around for nearly two months, I finally found a home.

Seeing that autumn was about to come, the Li family had no time to express their emotions, so they got up early the next morning and started to continue their work.
