A farmer's daughter travels through time, farming and dividing the family to fight for the best

Li Xiaoxiao held the bowl steadily in her hand and walked straight away without stopping.

Only Aunt Hua's shouting and cursing remained, cursing Li Xiaoxiao's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Li Xiaoxiao went to Li Quanfu's house to deliver silver. She did this deliberately for Aunt Hua to hear. Even if Li Quanfu didn't tell her how much the two wolves could be sold for, the villagers could guess roughly. It was not safe to keep so much money at home. Wasn't Old Lady Li a good example? And there must be more than one Old Lady Li, there would be others. Instead of worrying about it, it would be better to spend it first. It would only be a matter of time.

Given Aunt Hua’s personality, everyone in the village would probably know before dark that she had given the money to Li Quanfu.

When we arrived at Li's house, only old scholar Li was at home. The rest of the people had gone to work in the fields and had not returned yet.

"Grandpa Li, I caught some fresh fish from the river this afternoon. I brought you a bowl of it for you to try. My mother praised me for my delicious cooking." Li Xiaoxiao put the fish in front of him like he was presenting a treasure.

Scholar Li took it with a smile. His family hadn't eaten this kind of fish for a long time. There were too many bones and little meat, and it would not taste good no matter how you cooked it. But since Li Xiaoxiao had brought it to him, he might as well take a couple of bites. He looked at the fish in the bowl and found that what she cooked seemed different from what he usually ate.

Seeing the doubts of Mr. Li, Li Xiaoxiao took the initiative to speak, "Grandpa Li, I fried it first, and then stewed it over high heat for half an hour. The bones inside are now soft and edible. Please try it."

It was time for dinner, and Mr. Li was really hungry. The small fish looked very appetizing, so he found a pair of chopsticks and took a bite. It was just as Li Xiaoxiao had described, the bones and the fish meat could be chewed together. It tasted very good, something he had never eaten before.

After eating three small fishes in a row, I still felt a little unsatisfied. There were only a few pieces of fish in a bowl. Thinking of the other people at home, I put down my chopsticks reluctantly.

"I heard Quanfu say last time that you can cook, and the food tastes really good." Mr. Li praised sincerely.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Quanfu and his family came back. Li Xiaoxiao didn't waste any words and gave him the silver directly. The time was set after the busy farming season, and the location was on the three acres of mountain land allocated to the Li family.

In many rural areas, when building a house, half of the money is given first, and the other half is given after the house is built. Li Xiaoxiao believed in Li Quanfu's character, so she gave him all.

Now I still have thirty taels in my hand. At present, only Li Huawen's studies cost a lot of money, so I still have relatively ample money.

Silent all night.

It was still dark outside and Li Xiaoxiao heard some sound. She opened her eyes and saw that it was still dark. She thought she had heard it wrong, so she turned over and wanted to continue sleeping.

The voice was still there, and she suddenly thought, maybe someone came to steal their silver, but then she thought it was not right. With Aunt Hua's ability, it would be a piece of cake for her to spread the news in the village.

He quietly got up, put on his clothes hastily, tiptoed to the door, and looked out through the crack.

Then she saw a dark shadow digging something on the ground next to her kitchen.

Because it was quite far away, he couldn't see clearly. After a while, the man got up, took a last look at the place he had just dug, and left quickly.

After making sure that the man had gone far away, Li Xiaoxiao opened the door and came to the stove. Sure enough, a small piece of soil on the ground showed signs of having been turned over. Although it was covered with wood ash, it was still visible.

This person was sneaking around her door in the middle of the night, and it must be up to no good. Li Xiaoxiao took out a small shovel from the space and dug up the place that had been turned over. After a while, she really dug out something.

A little figure made of white cloth with her name written on it and the word "mountain ghost" written on the other side.

Li Xiaoxiao was speechless. There was no doubt that this was another act of the Li family. It seemed that they discovered that she was different from before and thought that she was possessed by a mountain ghost, so they asked a shaman to take her away.

Just throw the little guy into the space. The Li family is really an indestructible cockroach. Since they are looking for trouble, then come on.

Go back and continue sleeping.

In the old house of the Li family, an oil lamp was lit in the main room. Old man Li and old lady Li were both sitting on the kang, looking anxiously at the gate from time to time. Why didn't the fourth son and the witch come back yet? Could they have been discovered by the mountain ghost?

The door creaked open and Li Laosi came back, followed by an old woman in a yellow Taoist robe. She was slightly plump and held a whisk in her hand. She was obviously a witch who performed rituals.

The witch held her head high and chest puffed out, without looking around, and walked straight to the main seat and sat down. Old man Li and old lady Li immediately came over to greet her.

"Mrs. Witch, is my granddaughter possessed by a mountain ghost?" People in ancient times were very superstitious, and Old Lady Li was no exception. She asked respectfully.

The witch didn't answer, but casually glanced at the teapot on the table.

"Old Four, why don't you serve the tea quickly?" Seeing this, Old Man Li hurriedly ordered Li Old Four.

Li Laosi hurried to boil water, quickly took out the best tea in the house and poured it for the fortune-teller.

After drinking a cup of tea, the witch spoke slowly, "From my observation, your granddaughter is indeed possessed, but not by a mountain ghost, but a fox demon. That fox demon has been practicing for thousands of years, and it takes a lot of effort to subdue it."

Old Mrs. Li suddenly realized, no wonder the cheap girl was so powerful, it turned out that she had the power of Qianwu.

"Is there any way to subdue the witch? As long as I can subdue her, I will spend any amount of silver." Thinking of what happened recently, Old Mrs. Li gritted her teeth in anger. She asked her for five taels of silver yesterday, and now she just wanted to eat her flesh alive.

This is exactly what I've been waiting for. Although the fortune-teller doesn't show it on her face, she's actually very happy in her heart.

After deliberately thinking for a moment, he said with a little embarrassment, "I have no worries with that fox demon recently, and no grudges in the past. I really shouldn't have provoked her, but since she has hurt you so much, and your attitude is so sincere, I have no choice but to agree."

"That's great, thank you, Goddess, for your hard work. How much silver will it cost?" When Old Lady Li heard that she could really subdue the fox demon, her face beamed with joy, and she asked the question that concerned her most.

"Five taels, please. This fox demon is very powerful and will require considerable magical powers of mine. The most important thing is that performing such a ritual will shorten people's lifespan. Considering that you are from the village, if you were in the county, you would have to pay at least ten taels of silver." The witch looked as if you were getting a great deal, and then glanced at Li Laosi, who nodded imperceptibly.

When Old Lady Li heard this, she felt pain in her flesh, but then she thought that if she accepted the fox demon, all the money in Li Xiaoxiao's family would be hers. Thinking of this, she looked at Old Man Li.

"Then we'll trouble you, Lady Witch. We'll give you one or two taels of silver as a deposit first, and then give you the rest after the matter is done." Old Mrs. Li took out one or two taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to the witch respectfully. The witch weighed it, put it away with satisfaction, and told them to buy some things that would be needed for tomorrow's ritual.

Su, who got up outside the house at night, saw light coming from the old house and heard faint voices. She walked closer curiously and listened for a while. She covered her mouth in shock. Seeing that there was no one around, she quietly returned to her room.

These days, Li Xiaoxiao officially welcomed a new member during his morning exercise. He didn't run far before he saw Daya from his third aunt's family. In the village, daughters were generally not welcomed and the names were given casually. On the day Daya was born, Grandma Li saw that it was a girl and the eldest, so she named her Daya. The second child was also a girl, so she named her Erya without thinking.

Seeing Li Xiaoxiao coming over, Daya, seeing that there was no one around, hurried a few steps and called out "Little Miss."

Li Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. Daya was two years younger than her and was 14 years old this year. Because of her personality, although they lived in the same courtyard, she didn't play with her often. On the contrary, she had a more compatible temper with Li Ruolan and was more familiar with her.

"Daya, why are you here? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Li Xiaoxiao asked.
