Being able to farm: starting from moving to the village and picking up furry

Of course, the premise of all this is that one party to the engagement is not satisfied and goes to the county to ask the county magistrate to make the decision, otherwise it will be resolved privately.

In order to supplement the labor force, the previous dynasty had not taken care of too many things, and its actions made the people suffer.

The people were living in misery and rose up in rebellion.

It was not until a new person took over that he realized that the court needed time to recuperate and could not be too hasty, so he planned to slowly amend some relevant laws.

Remote areas are far away from the capital, so the time to receive news will be much longer, not to mention that Muqiang Town is in the southwest of Dongxia State, which is even farther away.

This is also the reason why Mr. Chen is so confident. He is risking his reputation.

Finally, she did not forget to add fuel to the fire, "Old Li, you are also aware of the laws of our Dongxia country. We have already accepted the ten taels of silver your family gave as a betrothal gift."

Hearing what the person in front of him said, Mr. Li was so angry that he almost laughed.

"Haha... Old Chen, Old Chen, I didn't expect that you are so old and yet you are still like this..."

So shameless! So shameless!

What Old Chen meant was that the engagement was still valid. If the Li family did not recognize the marriage, it would mean that they had gone back on their word.

At that time, the ten taels of betrothal gift given cannot be taken back.

What worried him most was another thing, that his son would be taken to the yamen and beaten with seventy sticks.

When my son came home that day, he didn't tell him about the broken engagement immediately, but kept it to himself.

It was the eldest son who told them that it was the Chen family who took the initiative to bring up the matter, and only then did they know about it.

They could guess that the Chen family just wanted money. Since the other party took the initiative to propose it, they would not pursue it and just let it go.

It was also that night that Qingyu came to see the old couple on his own initiative.

Although they were surprised, they agreed when they saw that their son did not refuse.

Feeling sorry for his son, Old Man Li didn't want to open up his son's scars, so he thought about going to the Chen family to confirm the matter again after hunting in the mountains while going to town.

Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened to him and his sons when they went up the mountain that day. If it weren't for his seventh daughter-in-law, he would have died.

According to what Old Chen just said, the younger son did not receive the letter of cancellation of the engagement at that time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so shameless and confident to say these words in front of him.

"Old Li, I've already told Xiuxiu. She knows that what she said could easily be misunderstood. Yanxi is a good kid. Besides, the villagers also know about the two kids and the marriage."

Mr. Chen explained with a smile as he pulled out the paint-chipped pipe from his waist.

Then he reached out and patted Mr. Li on the shoulder.

"Building a house is a big deal, and getting the children married is equally important. After we finish building it, we can get the two kids married sooner, so you can have a big fat grandson sooner."

Hearing the other party's impatience, Mr. Li frowned slightly and did not respond immediately.

"Old Mr. Li, where is the child Yanxi?" Old Man Chen looked around and asked the silent Old Man Li.

"Go out." Mr. Li replied indifferently, and glanced at the old man holding the pipe.

"I said Yanxi was a hardworking kid. He actually got up so early to work." Holding a cigarette in his hand, Mr. Chen said with satisfaction.

Thinking of his son's physical condition and the huge change in his personality, Mr. Li's brows relaxed again.

No matter what the outcome, he and his wife followed their son's opinions and practices.

Looking up at the father and son of the Chen family, no matter how unhappy Mr. Li was, he did not ask them to leave on the spot.

Letting people sit in the yard and rest, Mr. Li got up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast with his wife.

In the kitchen, Old Mrs. Li was picking vegetables, pulling the leaves again and again, using much more force than usual.

"Old lady, you've almost plucked all the vegetables out." Mr. Li said with a smile, trying to ease his wife's mood.

Putting the amaranth aside, Mrs. Li glanced at her husband and said, "You old man, you are still in the mood..."

She didn't say the rest of the words. As she listened to her husband's words, her frown gradually relaxed.

The old couple looked at each other, then looked outside the yard tacitly, and heard their sons talking.

Before entering the yard, Li Yanchuan shouted with a smile: "Dad, Mom, we are back."

Li Yanchuan and his friends went out for a run. They did not sweat profusely, but instead felt refreshed. Especially when his seventh brother's wife waved her hand, their sweaty clothes changed.

The brothers who were fast on their feet came back to help first, while Xia Qingyu and the sisters-in-law went to a slope to pick some long green things.

While they were talking, Li Yanchuan and the others naturally saw the father and son of the Chen family in the yard, and they were all stunned.

Why are the Chen family here? Did Dad invite them to help build the house?

That shouldn't be the case. According to the relationship between their two families, dad usually doesn't let them mention the Chen family's affairs, let alone ask them to come over for help.

Feeling the puzzled gazes from his brothers, Li Yanchuan paused slightly and was also very shocked.

He remembered that he went to borrow money and was kicked out by the Chen family.

Li Yanzhu and his brothers exchanged glances and shook their heads silently.

Only the person involved, Li Yanxi, still remembered what his wife said. He walked around his brothers, entered the yard, and went to the kitchen to find his mother.

"Hey, brother..."

Watching their younger brother enter the yard, Li Yanchuan and his brothers reached out their hands, trying to stop him from going in.

But he was a little too slow and didn't even catch the corner of his brother's clothes.

When Mr. Chen in the yard saw the tall man enter the yard, he quickly put down his pipe and stood up from the bench.

With a satisfied smile on his face, Old Man Chen said with a smile: "Yanxi, your marriage with Xiuxiu..."

Just as Li Yanxi was about to get the bamboo basket, he was stopped by the old man.

"Old man, please make way. You are blocking the road." Looking at the old man in front of him, Li Yanxi reminded him.

When his words were interrupted, Mr. Chen didn't look very good.

At home, he is a man of his word and doesn't like being ignored.

Originally, he was quite satisfied with Li Yanxi, his son-in-law, but now this man didn't even call him by his name, showing no courtesy at all.

After hearing what Li Yanxi said, he started to lecture her directly, "You have no rules at all. You should greet your elders when you see them. Also, I'm your father-in-law, not some old man."

Looking at the old man standing still and speaking in a bad tone, Li Yanxi didn't want to pay any attention to him.

As for what the other party was referring to as the father-in-law, he didn't know and didn't want to know.

Turning around and going to the kitchen, Li Yanxi told his mother what his wife had told him to do, then took a few vegetable baskets from the kitchen and went out of the yard.

Li Yanzhu and his brothers looked at their younger brother's disappearing back, and in their hearts they gave him a thumbs up for his behavior. It was good that their younger brother no longer had this bad memory.

Chen Jiadong, who was washing pork in the yard, looked up and met Li Yanchuan's gaze. They were both stunned.

"Father-in-law?" Li Yanchuan asked first, "Uncle Chen, you said in person that the engagement was cancelled."
