The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

From Grandma Jiang, everyone knew the reason why Li Tiezhu was not liked by Grandma Li.

It turned out that when Mrs. Li was young, she was not liked by her mother-in-law. After she gave birth to a child, her mother-in-law was afraid that her eldest grandson would be raised astray by Mrs. Li, so she took the grandson away and raised him personally.

Li Tiezhu was raised until he was twelve years old. After he turned twelve, Li Pozi's father-in-law and mother-in-law died one after another, and Li Tiezhu returned to Li Pozi's home.

But at that time, Li Yinzhu had already been born and was raised by Mrs. Li as the apple of her eye. How could she tolerate her eldest son who was taken away by her mother-in-law? Not only did she dislike him, but because of the anger she had suffered from her mother-in-law before, she was particularly displeased with Li Tiezhu. She often withheld his food and beat and scolded him.

After listening to Grandma Jiang’s story, everyone suddenly realized that this was the case.

Just then, they saw Aunt Ma Er walking angrily in front of them and heading towards the village.

"Hey, what's wrong with your sister-in-law? She's so angry." Aunt He looked at Aunt Ma beside her.

Aunt Ma glanced at Aunt Ma's back and said with disdain, "Don't tell me about her. Who would want to be her sister-in-law? It's really unlucky to have such a sister-in-law."

The people around obviously knew what kind of person Aunt Ma Er was, and they all laughed when they heard her say that.

“Hahaha, it’s not easy for you.”

……

Li Xi pushed open the door with a backpack on her back. Hu Zi, who had been waiting anxiously, heard the sound of the door opening and ran out of the room, "Sister, sister! You're back!"

"Well, you're back. Come on, go into the house. I bought you some candy." Li Xi rubbed Hu Zi's little head.

No matter how sensible and obedient Hu Zi is on weekdays, he is still a child after all. When he hears about candy, his eyes light up and his little body is filled with great joy.

"Sister eats, mother eats too, let's eat together."

"Okay, let's eat together." Li Xi led Hu Zi into the house, "Where's mom?"

"Mother is sewing clothes in the house."

Seeing Li Xi enter the room, Madam Liu on the kang put down her needlework and said, "Daya is back. Have you had lunch? I'm heating up some food for you on the stove. I'll bring it to you right away."

As Lady Liu was about to get off the kang, Li Xi said, "Mom, no need. I ate steamed buns in the city, and I bought some for you."

Li Xi took out an oil-paper bag from the backpack and opened it to reveal two plump white buns. "It's made with cabbage and pork. They're delicious. You guys should try some."

"Mom is not hungry, you and Huzi can eat." Madam Liu said with a movement of her throat.

Li Xi could see through her insincerity at a glance. The food in their house was at best enough to fill one's stomach with water, but how could it be possible not to feel hungry?

She stuffed a bun into Liu Niangzi and Hu Zi's hands, and said without question, "Okay, one for each of you, eat now."

Hu Zi held the bun, looked up in surprise and said, "Sister, it's so soft."

Li Xi smiled, "It smells really good, try it."

Hu Zi took the bun and took a small bite carefully, then his eyes widened, "Sister, it smells so good, the bun is so delicious."

He said, holding up the bun and stretching out his arms, "Sister, you eat too."

"I've already eaten, so you can eat it, Huzi."

Although Li Xi said so, Hu Zi still insisted on holding up the bun for Li Xi to eat. Li Xi had no choice but to take a small bite and said, "Okay, I've already eaten it. You can eat the rest yourself."

Madam Liu looked at Hu Zi, who was sitting on the edge of the kang and shaking his head while eating, and then looked at the steaming bun in her hand. Her eyes became red again, but she was concerned about what Li Xi had said before, so she didn't cry.

"I spent a lot of money on medicinal herbs, so I bought some things back." Li Xi said as he took out the things in the backpack one by one.

Liu Niangzi and Hu Zi, who were eating buns, looked at the pile of things on the kang with their mouths wide open, no longer caring about the buns in their hands.

"Da, Daya, how much money did you make? Why did you buy so many things?" Madam Liu looked at the food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and such a big piece of meat on the kang with her eyes wide open. She even wondered if there was something wrong with her eyes.

It's not that there are people selling medicinal herbs in the village, but I've never heard that a basket of herbs can be exchanged for so many things. Thinking of this, Madam Liu felt a little nervous.

Hu Zi, who was standing nearby, climbed onto the kang and circled around the pile of things. "Meat, meat, meat. Such big pieces of meat! Eat meat! Eat meat!"

"Okay, I'll make you some meat tonight, I guarantee you'll be intoxicated by the aroma." Li Xi said with a smile, "Mom, I got thirty-five taels of herbs in total, and these things cost more than two taels."

"Three, thirty-five taels?" Madam Liu looked at Li Xi blankly. Could she have heard it wrong just now? Daya should have said five taels. That's right, it should be five taels.

Country people couldn't earn more than one tael of silver a year just by farming. When the boy's father was alive, their family only earned a dozen taels of silver at most.

But later on, with the construction of the house and the handling of the child's father's funeral, the family now had only three taels of silver and five hundred and thirty-two copper coins left.

Madam Liu glanced at the backpack that Li Xi had placed on the ground and asked, "You sold such a small amount of stuff for five taels of silver?"

She still found it hard to believe. When her father was alive, he used to sell medicinal herbs, and a basket of herbs was worth no more than a hundred copper coins.

Li Xi was about to explain when there was a sudden sound of knocking on the door outside.

"Li Daya, you little bitch, come out here quickly!"

“Bang, bang, bang!” “Bang, bang, bang!”

The door was slammed and curses were heard outside.

"You are a family of unlucky people. Don't hide in there and keep silent. Get out of here right now!"

"You hit me and you want to pretend nothing happened? You wish!"

Liu Niangzi shuddered when she heard the banging on the door and the cursing outside, and looked up in fear, "Daya?"

Li Xi looked at her like this and sighed in her heart. This family still depends on her to support it. She looked at Hu Zi's worried eyes and patted him on the back.

"Don't be afraid, I'll go check it out, Huzi, you and mom stay in the house."

After leaving the bedroom, Li Xi picked up the machete in the yard, put it behind his back and opened the door.

Many villagers gathered at the door, and the one standing at the door cursing was Aunt Ma Er, who had been taught a lesson by Li Xi before.

Qian Dajuan and Song Hehua were also in the crowd, and the group of aunties and grandmas who had been chatting under the tree just now also came over to join in the fun.

"You are an elder after all. What are you talking about here? Ma Laoer, why don't you take your wife back home!" Dong Fengxia stopped Aunt Ma Er who was about to rush towards Li Xi.

Others might have been concerned about the fact that Dong Fengxia was the village chief's wife, but Aunt Ma Er, who was a tough guy, had no scruples at all. She slapped her hand away!

"You little bitch! You're such a jinx! I'm going to teach you a lesson today!" Aunt Ma waved her hands and rushed towards Li Xi.

Li Xi looked at her like this without any expression. It seemed that she still didn't know what fear was.

Seeing Aunt Ma Er getting closer and closer, Li Xi showed no emotion on his face and directly took the machete on his back and brought it in front of him.

The moment she saw the machete clearly, Aunt Ma felt a chill and began to retreat quickly, and her body just happened to collide with Dong Fengxia who rushed up to stop her.

There was a machete in front of her and no way to retreat behind her. She was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground and used her legs to hide backwards.

He was still shouting, "Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
