"Okay, stop chatting, clean up the table and get ready for dinner." Dong Fengxia's voice came from outside.

Li Xi cleaned the table and was about to get up to help outside when Dong Fengxia came in with something.

"Aunt Fengxia, let me help you." Li Xi reached out to help her serve the dishes.

Dong Fengxia walked around her and put the dishes on the table. "Okay, just sit down. It's just a small amount of food, so why would you need help?"

"Daya, you are a guest now. Just sit down and wait for your food." Li Changqing put down his pipe.

Seeing that they didn't want her help, Li Xi didn't insist, "Uncle Changqing, where's Brother Binzi?"

Li Xi was talking about Li Changqing’s eldest son, Li Shubin.

"His master's house is putting up a beam today, and he went to help. Don't worry about him, let's eat our food." Dong Fengxia explained as she brought in two more plates of food.

Li Shubin learned carpentry skills from his master. In that era, it was important to follow the master rather than the father.

After all, you are learning a skill from others. If you are not filial and considerate, who would be willing to pass on the skills to you? After all, no one is stupid.

The last soup was served, and Dong Fengxia got on the kang. "It's time to eat, Daya. You should try this chicken stewed with mushrooms. This chicken is domestic and just came out of the market. It's the freshest and tenderest. I picked these mushrooms in the mountains last year and dried them. They are also very fresh.

I guarantee you'll get your ass kicked off."

Dong Fengxia spent a lot of money on this meal. She stewed chicken with mushrooms, cabbage with pork, and both with white flour pancakes. Her family couldn't afford to eat such good food during the Chinese New Year.

"Aunt, this is too expensive." Li Xi looked embarrassed. She knew what this table of dishes meant to them.

"It's not a big deal," Dong Fengxia waved her hand. Although today's meal did make her heart bleed, she was the village chief's wife for a reason. She had a big vision and she had to invest when it was time.

Everything had been explained clearly, and after dinner Li Xi planned to say goodbye. If he left quickly during the meal, he might be able to avoid some trouble.

"Uncle Changqing, Aunt Fengxia, I'm leaving now. I'll come back from time to time. If you have any questions, you can come to Chengli to find me. Uncle Erqiang knows where I live."

"Would you like to stay a little longer? Why are you in such a hurry?" Dong Fengxia tried to persuade him to stay.

"No, I rented a car and came back. People are waiting for me at the entrance of the village." Li Xi explained.

"In that case, I won't keep you here." Dong Fengxia stuffed a large bag of dried mushrooms into Li Xi's hand. "These are all made at home. They are not worth much. You can take them back and eat them."

"Aunt Fengxia, that's not necessary. Keep it for yourself." She hardly ever cooks. It would take her forever to finish such a big bag.

"Just take it if I tell you to. They are all picked from the mountain and are delicious."

Li Xi handed it back to her, but she refused to take it.

"Okay, you're in a hurry to leave, don't push or shove, just go." Dong Fengxia was afraid that she would not accept it, so she pushed her out of the door and slammed it shut.

Li Xi: …

She looked at the closed door in front of her and the package in her hands, then walked back in the direction she came from with resigned attitude.

yard.

Li Changqing looked at his wife in silence with a smug look on her face. The silly old woman shook her head and walked into the house. He had to take a good look at what the medicinal seeds that were three times more expensive than food looked like.

Dong Fengxia snorted at his back. He was like a saw-mouthed gourd every day. If it weren't for her taking care of the household and maintaining the social relationships, it would not be easy for him to be the village chief.

It has to be her. Without her, this family will fall apart!

Li Xi was carrying a big bag and had just walked a few steps when she ran into Liu Pozi's family. Liu Pozi, Li Yinzhu, Li Yinzhu's wife Su Paner, and Li Zhaodi, the cousin who caused the original owner to fall into the water, the whole family was together.

Mrs. Liu was still as sarcastic as before, and Li Yinzhu was still as mean as before. He looked at Li Xi with excitement and fear, and it was obvious that the last incident had left him with a lot of trauma.

Su Pan'er and Li Zhaodi looked timid. Li Xi noticed that Li Zhaodi looked at him with hatred and fear in her eyes.

Logically speaking, Li Tiezhu and Li Yinzhu have already separated and have a bad relationship. The original owner and Li Zhaodi have no connection at all, let alone sisterly love.

But even so, Li Zhaodi still wanted to kill the original owner.

The timid original owner who had already died didn’t know the reason, but Li Xi saw clearly that it was jealousy.

"A good dog doesn't block the road, do you know that? Get out of here quickly!" There were no outsiders here now, so Li Xi didn't need to pretend.

"What did you say!" When Liu Pozi heard Li Xi call her a dog, her eyes rolled up and she was about to curse him when Li Yinzhu grabbed her arm.

"Mom, let's talk business."

The news that Li Xi and Hu Zi had moved to Jiangning City had long been a hot topic in the village. Some were happy for them, but more were jealous.

For some people, it is inevitable to feel uncomfortable when someone who has always lived a worse life than themselves suddenly lives a better life than themselves.

So some people with bad intentions deliberately went to Li Pozi and the others and said something sarcastic.

That day, Mrs. Li went to join in the fun under the big tree at the entrance of the village, but ended up being ridiculed by everyone.

Aunt Ma had suffered a loss at the hands of Li Xi before, so when she saw Mrs. Li coming over, she deliberately provoked her, "Hey, who is this? Isn't this the grandmother of Daya, the only one from our village who has moved to the city?

Your granddaughter brought her grandson to the city, why didn't she take you with her? "

When others heard her say this, they knew something interesting was about to happen.

Mrs. Li didn't care about being angry, she looked at Aunt Ma in surprise, "What did you say? Who went into the city?"

"Who else could it be? Of course your good granddaughter and grandson." Aunt Ma Er was not surprised that she didn't know. After all, she just found out about it. "How could a grandmother like you not know?"

Wang Zhaodi looked at Aunt Ma's exaggerated expression and laughed out loud, "Hahaha, everyone knows the relationship between Granny Li and Daya's family. To say they are relatives is probably worse than being enemies, hahaha."

When she smiled, the people around her also laughed out loud.

Mrs. Li stood there with a dark complexion, pointing at Wang Zhaodi with a trembling hand, "You! You are talking nonsense."

Wang Zhaodi didn't tolerate her either, "I'm talking nonsense. Everyone in the village knows that you are short-sighted. You throw away watermelons to pick up sesame seeds. You bully the elders and force the capable eldest son to split up the family.

He holds the lazy and gluttonous Li Yinzhu in his arms all day long.

Now that Tiezhu is gone, you still want to bully the orphans and widows of Daya's family. Now Daya is so successful.

Humph! You deserve it! "

"Ah! Wang Zhaodi, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Mrs. Li shouted and rushed forward.

Wang Zhaodi was no pushover either, and she grabbed her right away, leaving her face covered in blood.

Li Pozi and Wang Zhaodi were wrestling with each other. Seeing that they were fighting more and more fiercely, people around them rushed over to separate them. Li Pozi even picked up a stone from the ground and was about to hit Wang Zhaodi on the head.
