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

Chapter 7: Renting land and pretending to be a tiger, preparing to cause trouble

But she still felt pity for her, so she held Lady Liu's hand and said seriously, "Daya and Huzi are still young, for their sake, you have to stand up."

Hearing her say this, Liu Niangzi's eyes turned red, and she choked up a little and said, "Sister-in-law is right, I know, I know..."

Seeing her delicate appearance, Li Changqing shook his head. He knew it was of no use and he had to do it. Although he would definitely help for Tiezhu's sake, he also had a big family to take care of, so he could only do so much.

Besides, one can’t just rely on others to help him get by; he still has to stand on his own feet.

Seeing this, Li Xi still had nothing to understand. The village chief and his family were full of kindness towards them.

"Aunt, I understand what you mean. I will take good care of the family."

When Li Changqing heard Li Xi say this, he looked at her in surprise. He had seen this girl before, and her personality was exactly the same as her mother's. He never expected her to say that.

"Oh, Daya has grown up," Dong Fengxia patted Liu Niangzi's hand and said earnestly, "Your happy days are still to come, so you have to stand firm now.

In two years, when Huzi grows up and gets married, you will be able to relax. "

"Oh, I know, I know." Madam Liu smiled at her shyly.

"Ahem." Li Changqing coughed twice and said, "I called you here today so that your sister-in-law can enlighten you. Life for you, an orphan and a widow, must be difficult. If you need any help, just ask.

If Li Yinzhu dares to cause trouble for you, you can come to me directly. We must not allow bullying of orphans and widows to occur in our village."

Hearing him say this, Madam Liu was deeply moved. Her eyes became red and she thanked him with a choked voice. Then she told him everything that happened when Mrs. Li came to her house that day.

"What!" Li Changqing looked ugly. Although he had known for a long time that Tiezhu's mother disliked their family, he never expected that before Tiezhu's body was cold, Tiezhu's mother would bring Li Yinzhu to force his eldest sister-in-law to remarry. Who didn't know what they were thinking?

Dong Fengxia was also furious when she heard this, "What a shame! Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. We have your back!"

Li Xi looked at the indignant couple opposite him and lowered his eyes. It would be better to say it out loud. Although he had frightened Mrs. Li that day, money can move people's hearts. Who knows how long he can keep the fright for?

It is said that the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. It seems that Mrs. Li dare not disobey the words of the village chief, otherwise she will not get any good in this village.

"Uncle Changqing, you also know what kind of people my grandmother and second uncle are. They came to our house and wanted to force us three mothers to death before my father's body was cold. Last time, my grandmother brought second uncle to our house and wanted to beat Hu Zi to death with a stick. Woo woo woo..." Li Xi said as her shoulders trembled and she lowered her head.

"Sister, don't cry. Hu Zi is not afraid. Hu Zi will protect you." Hu Zi pursed his lips and tugged at Li Xi's sleeve.

Seeing Hu Zi's sensible appearance, Dong Fengxia's eyes became red and she cursed in her heart, "Old lady Li is such a piece of shit that she could even kill her own grandson."

Li Changqing's face darkened. "Huzi, don't cry. I'll go to Li Yinzhu's house and talk to your grandmother."

Li Xi raised her red eyes and said, "Thank you, Uncle Changqing."

"What are you thanking me for? We are all family. Just tell me if you have any questions." Dong Fengxia looked at Li Xi's well-behaved appearance and cursed old lady Li in her heart.

"Leave it to me, Tiezhu's wife. I called you here today for something else. It's spring now and the weather is going to get warm soon. What are your plans for your land?"

They didn't get any land when the family was divided before. The three acres of land they have now were purchased by Li Tiezhu later. Madam Liu is weak in character and frail in body, and Li Tiezhu has always been the one to do the work in the fields, with Madam Liu just bringing him food and water.

It is obviously not possible for a weak and sick family like them to manage three acres of land.

"Village chief, I can do it. My son's father is gone, and the three of us depend on these three acres of land for our livelihood. I will take good care of it even if I die."

"Sister-in-law, what's the point of saying death? It's unlucky to say that. You have children, and good days are ahead. But my old man is not saying this because he is worried about your land."

She had to say this first, lest she do something with good intentions and end up being blamed.

"Uncle Changqing, Auntie, we all know that you are doing this for our own good. The work in the fields is really too hard for us to do."

Hu Zi is still young and cannot do any farm work at all. She and A Niang don't seem capable either. It would not be worth it if they were exhausted by then.

"Daya!" Madam Li frowned and looked at her, obviously not hiding anything from her. How could they survive without land?

"You are a sensible person." Li Changqing said to Li Xi without looking at Madam Liu, "So what are you going to do?"

"Uncle Changqing, how about this? We have three acres of land in total. We will rent two acres to you, and you can grow crops on the remaining acre. We don't want any rent. When the harvest comes, you can just give us some food."

It is not easy to make money just by digging in the fields, unless you are a big landlord. Obviously, their family does not have this condition, and Li Xi has already thought of a way to make money.

Renting the land to the village chief's family can also be regarded as strengthening the relationship between my family and their family. Although there is the friendship of my cheap father, friendship is always thinner with use, and interests are more reliable.

Moreover, many of his subsequent ideas still need the support of Li Changqing, the village chief, before they can be implemented.

After all, it is easier to raise a big banner by using the tiger's skin.

"Daya..." Madam Liu looked at her daughter who was talking in a trance. She felt vaguely that she was a little strange. Although she looked the same, she always felt something was wrong.

Dong Fengxia thought that Li Xi was a person with a plan for success. "Sister-in-law, Daya is a person with a plan for success."

She was very satisfied with Li Xi's suggestion to rent the land to them. It was just giving them some food when the time came. It was nothing. Food grew in the land. One had to pay rent when renting other people's land.

For farmers, food is important, but money is more important.

While Lady Liu was in a trance, Li Xi and Li Changqing had discussed the land lease. It was time for lunch, and Dong Fengxia asked them to stay for lunch.

Food is precious in every household. Li Xi would certainly not stay without any consideration. After politely refusing, she left with her mother and younger brother.

Dong Fengxia saw them out the door and watched them walk away before returning to the house.

Looking at Li Changqing smoking his pipe, Dong Fengxia said with disgust, "Li Yinzhu's mother is such a piece of shit!"

"She's always been like that. All right, I'll find time to go to Li Yinzhu's house. They really did something outrageous." Li Changqing knocked off the ash from his cigarette and said with emotion, "Brother Tiezhu has a miserable life..."

Dong Fengxia also sighed, "I think Daya is a promising person. With her as the support, the family should be better off."
