"Second sister, you are so awesome. You got all these things back and even asked for an extra 10 taels of silver." Li Xiaoxiao had become his idol at this time. Sister, you are the most awesome sister.
"I'm just taking back what belongs to us." Li Xiaoxiao looked at Li Huawen and Li Ruolan: "Sister, brother, you all saw it today, good people are often bullied. If we just keep giving in, we will be bullied by them again and again."
"I understand, second sister. I will learn from you in the future and beat away the bad guys who bully us." Li Huawen looked at Li Xiaoxiao as if he was an idol.
Li Ruolan nodded slightly. She was really shocked by Li Xiaoxiao's behavior today. Her audacity made her feel scared when she thought about it. But it also proved one thing. Just like Xiaoxiao said, she should not be too weak in the future, otherwise she would only be bullied more endlessly.
"Xiaoxiao, I will learn from you in the future to protect myself and my family." Li Ruolan looked determined.
Li Xiaoxiao was happy. The reason why she brought them to Old Li's house today was to let them see. She knew that Li Huawen was a boy and young, so it would be easy for him to change. Li Ruolan might be slower. After all, her personality had already been formed, and it would take time to change. She didn't ask her to be strong, but only asked her not to suffer any losses.
In the straw hut, Sun had already prepared the meal, including brown rice and fried wild vegetables. The food was cold and lay untouched on the table. She looked outside from time to time and saw that they had not returned yet.
"Her father, why don't I go and take a look?" Sun paced back and forth anxiously.
Li Dahai was also anxious, but at the same time he knew that with Sun's personality, he would not be able to help even if he went.
"Wait a little longer, he may be back soon." Li Dahai had to persuade him softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, three children were seen walking towards him from a distance. Li Xiaoxiao was holding an oil can in her arms, and Sun hurried to meet him.
He took the oil can from Li Xiaoxiao's hand and tucked it under his armpit. With his other hand, he took the grain bag from Li Huawen's hand. He weighed it and thought it should be quite enough. He had mixed feelings for a moment. It was hard for these children to actually get the grain from Old Lady Li.
"You must be hungry. Go home and eat." There was no time to say anything else. He just urged me to go home and eat.
"Mom, I'm really hungry. My second sister was so arrogant today. Not only did she bring back our things, she also asked for one or two taels of silver. Now we are rich again." As soon as he entered the door, Li Huawen talked incessantly about what happened in Old Li's house. When he talked about Li Xiaoxiao being searched, Sun was so scared that her heart rose to her throat. Fortunately, nothing happened in the end.
"Xiaoxiao, don't do this again in the future." Sun was a little scared. This child was too bold. The Li family would never suffer any loss. It seemed that they had taken advantage today, but who knew what would happen in the future.
"Mom, don't worry. If you are right, you can go anywhere in the world. If you are wrong, you can't take a single step. We are upright and honest, so there is no reason for us to be afraid of. If they can't take advantage of us today, they won't be able to take advantage of us in the future." Li Xiaoxiao said confidently.
He looked at Li Dahai deeply again, and his face darkened instantly.
"Dad, what you did today is really disappointing. It's right for you to be filial to your grandparents. It's right to be filial to them within your ability, but we can't even afford to eat and wear clothes. Do they really need our food? The Li family has so many fields. You know how much they harvest every year. If we don't have money, my uncle can go to school and our family can live in the county town forever."
Li Dahai was in a heavy mood. He understood every word Li Xiaoxiao said. Although his health was not good, his mind was not confused. He felt that he owed them, but he was helpless.
"Dad, we have separated, and now we are a family. What happened today will definitely happen again in the future. If you choose to help them, then go and live with them." Li Xiaoxiao spoke bluntly. She had a lot of things to do and it was impossible for her to stay at home every day. Just like today, if she was at home, Grandma Li would not have succeeded. When it comes down to it, it can be said that it was Li Dahai's connivance that made Grandma Li fearless.
Li Dahai felt uncomfortable and started coughing uncontrollably. Sun came forward to help her calm down: "Xiaoxiao, stop talking. Your father feels bad." In fact, she and Li Dahai had the same idea. Being filial to parents is a natural thing, and disobeying elders will be criticized.
"Dad, I'm not forcing you. You can only choose one between us and the Li family." Li Xiaoxiao had no choice but to take a drastic measure. If Li Dahai's attitude towards the Li family could not change, their family would not have a good life. She would definitely make a lot of money in the future, and then the Li family would often come to cause trouble.
"Dad." Li Huawen ran over and hugged Li Dahai's waist, looking up at him: "If grandma comes to our house again, let's drive her out together, okay? She took all the food and we would have nothing to eat."
"Dad, Xiaoxiao is right. If it weren't for Xiaoxiao today, we wouldn't be able to get our food back, and we wouldn't have to give them ten or two taels of silver." Li Ruolan said softly.
Looking at the eager eyes of the children, Li Dahai suppressed the bitterness in his heart and nodded: "Okay, we will be a family from now on."
Li Xiaoxiao smiled and said nothing more. It was not easy for Li Dahai to be like this.
The family was having lunch. Sun was worried while cooking. She put too little water in the rice, so it became mushy. She also only added salt to the stir-fried wild vegetables. The rice didn't taste good, but they were very happy eating it.
After dinner, Li Xiaoxiao took out the things she had bought in the county town today from her backpack, one by one. She took out the same pastries as last time and gave each person a piece.
One pound of brown sugar and two pounds of candy. Brown sugar is a rare commodity here. During the Chinese New Year, only important guests will be served a bowl of brown sugar water.
There are ten bowls and six plates, all of which are exquisite designs with gold thread patterns and bright colors.
Sun scolded him and said, "You are spending money recklessly again. We have enough food at home." She said that, but she couldn't hide the love in her eyes.
As soon as the twelve pounds of pig offal were taken out, the smell immediately floated in the air, and Li Huawen quickly covered his mouth and nose.
Li Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Don't dislike it. It smells bad now. Once it's cooked, you'll know how delicious it is."
Sun and Li Dahai disagreed. The Li family had bought pig offal before, but it was Sun who made it. Thinking back, the taste was really not delicious at all.
Li Xiaoxiao did not explain and thought, if it doesn’t taste good, it’s because you don’t know how to cook it.
Seeing Li Xiaoxiao taking out so many pieces of cloth again, Sun was really anxious this time: "Girl, you can just buy some food and daily necessities. Why spend so much money on these? How much does it cost?"
Sun was used to living in poverty, and she felt distressed when she thought about the money she had spent on so many things.
"Mom." Li Xiaoxiao came over and took Sun's arm: "There is something I haven't told you before."
After a pause, he continued, "Last time I went into the mountains, I accidentally found a ginseng. I didn't tell you because I wasn't sure if I could sell it for money and I was afraid you would be disappointed. Today I went to the county town and sold it to a medicine shop. I got 18 taels of silver. After buying these things, I still have a lot left."
Li Xiaoxiao took out the remaining silver from her bosom and showed it to Sun like she was presenting a treasure. Sun's eyes widened in disbelief. The large piece of silver in the middle was ten taels. She had never seen such a large piece of silver before.
