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

Old Mrs. He's expression didn't change when she heard that. It wasn't like she really wanted to help her clean up. She was too lazy to clean up her own house, so how could she want to clean up for someone else's? This was just an excuse.

"Is that so? That's unfortunate. They say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If you need any help, just ask. Don't be shy."

Old Mrs. He's eyes turned, "Girl, I came here today because I want to ask you for help with something. A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor..."

Li Xi raised her eyebrows, "Oh? I wonder what it is?"

"I just came back from my mother's funeral. My house is a mess and I haven't had time to buy many things. I want to borrow some rice and flour from you."

Li Xi looked at Old Lady He with a half-smile, "I'm sorry, we don't have rice or flour at home."

"How can it be possible without rice and flour!" Old Mrs. He said sharply, "You are not deliberately not lending it to me!"

It was the first time that Li Xi met someone as self-righteous as Old Lady He. It didn't seem like she was borrowing something from him, but rather like he owed her something.

"No, I wouldn't lend it to you even if I had it." If Li Xi were afraid, she wouldn't be Li Xi.

Old Mrs. He was about to get angry when she suddenly remembered that they didn't have a cook at home, so it was not surprising that there was no rice or flour. As for the ones at the back that had food, she subconsciously ignored them.

"Then give me two taels of silver and I'll buy it myself." Old Mrs. He said as she spread her palms towards Li Xi with an unhappy look on her face.

Li Xi looked at her and smiled, "Did you drink two liang when you came out?"

"What do you mean two taels?" Old Mrs. He was puzzled.

"What are you daydreaming about here when you haven't drunk any alcohol?" Li Xi's smile faded. "I'm still giving you two taels of silver. Are you giving you two taels of silver to buy a coffin?"

"You! You! You!" Old Mrs. He pointed at Li Xi, very angry.

Li Xi didn't bother to pay attention to her and opened the door and went in. Old Mrs. He wanted to follow, but Li Xi closed the door faster.

The door slammed shut in front of her. If Old Mrs. He hadn't been a step slower, the door would have hit her in the face.

It was always her who got angry at others, but this was the first time someone made her so angry. Old Mrs. He felt a rage in her chest, neither going up nor down, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Looking at the tightly closed door, she knew that the bitch was not someone who could be easily fooled. Her eyes darkened, but she didn't think that she couldn't do anything to her.

Old Mrs. He took two steps back and took a deep look at the closed door. She snorted coldly, "We'll see!"

After Old Lady He left, the doors of several courtyards near Li Xi opened one after another. Wang Dahua, Liu Yu and Jia Xiulan looked at each other and then looked towards the closed door of Li Xi's house.

They said that a person who could raise her younger brother alone and support his schooling was not an ordinary person, and that Mrs. He had made a wrong calculation this time.

Wang Dahua waved to Liu Yu and Jia Xiu Lan, and Liu Yu and Jia Xiu Lan went back to the house to get the embroidery work and took it to Wang Dahua's house.

Because of the existence of Old Lady He, a troublemaker, the other families in the alley get along pretty well. After all, they have seen such weird things, and their bottom line has been lowered. The other neighbors are all good people.

On the big kang in the Wang family's home, Wang Dahahua, Liu Yu and Jia Xiulan sat cross-legged, talking and embroidering at the same time. Their mouths kept moving and their hands were quick as well, which showed that they had practiced this technique a long time ago.

Wang Dahua: "Old Lady He has made a mistake this time. Even though the girl is young, she is not someone who can be easily fooled."

When Jia Xiulan first got married, she was often robbed of things by Old Lady He because she was shy. She was always in a bad mood when she talked about Old Lady He.

"It's not easy for a little girl to send her brother to school and eat out every day.

A new person came to the alley, and Old Lady He wanted to bully him, but this time she hit a wall." Jia Xiulan said gloatingly.

Liu Yu was not as optimistic as her, "You didn't hear what Old Lady He said when she left. In my opinion, this matter is not over yet.

The siblings lived such a good life, it is impossible for Old Lady He to let them go so easily."

Jia Xiulan disagreed, "As long as the girl can hold on, then Old Lady He can still snatch her away by force."

If that were the case, the people in the alley would definitely not sit idly by. After all, everyone in the alley knew what kind of person Old Lady He was, and there were few families in the alley that had not been taken advantage of by her.

"It's hard to say." Liu Yu was not as optimistic as Jia Xiulan. "No matter how powerful they are, one of them is a child and the other is a half-grown child. We can't stop them from snatching them away."

Wang Dahua rubbed the needle on her hair and said, "Old Mrs. He is not easy to deal with, but I think the siblings are not simple characters either."

It's not easy to gain a foothold in the city.

……

Li Xi didn't know that someone was worried about her. Even if she knew, she wouldn't care. She had never seen anyone in the world who could bully her, but she had a lot of defeated opponents.

Li Xi used a pestle to grind the dried herbs into powder. Her hands moved evenly and her face looked relaxed.

The medicine cabinet in the pharmacy was made by Li Shubin some time ago. It was of the simplest style, and its only feature was that it was large, with twelve small drawers in a row, for a total of twenty rows, occupying an entire wall.

The medicine cabinet was not full. She only sorted out the herbs she had collected from the back mountain and put them in.

After these days of recuperation, Li Xi felt that his physical condition had not changed much, so he planned to make some health pills for himself.

As the dry herbs turned into powder under the pounding of the pestle, Li Xi stopped the pestle, poured out the powder, and proceeded to the next step.

After returning home, Old Lady He became angrier and angrier. She also became furious when she saw her daughter-in-law Sun Xiaocui, who was cleaning the room, saying, "Why are you wasting time? It's just a small job, and you haven't finished it after working for so long.

How come I have such a lazy wife like you?

If I had known this, I shouldn't have let Yougen marry you. What's the point of marrying you? You can't do the work well, but you eat a lot.

I think you are just a cheap bastard. What's the point of eating so much? You can't even lay an egg!"

Old Mrs. He kept cursing until her mouth was dry. Looking at Sun Xiaocui's expressionless face, she said unhappily, "What are you standing there for? Can't you see I'm thirsty? Hurry up and pour me some water!"

Sun Xiaocui shook her body subconsciously and hurried to pour some water.

After drinking a bowl of water, Old Lady He recovered. Looking at Sun Xiaocui standing aside, she rolled her eyes and threw the bowl to her, "You are such a tactless person. What are you doing standing here? Standing there like a posture! Why don't you get back to work?"

It's already so late and you haven't cooked yet, are you trying to starve me to death?"

What Sun Xiaocui feared most was her mother-in-law. As soon as Old Lady He finished speaking, she hurried to the kitchen with the bowl, feeling very aggrieved. It was clearly her mother-in-law who told her not to cook and to wait until she came back.
