The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

He lifted his forehead again and saw a swelling on it.

"Sister, he even threw stones at me!"

The woman opposite said impatiently: "It's normal for children to bump into things. What's the matter? Do you really want to blackmail them?"

Lin Xiaoman stared at the woman opposite.

Even at this point, the other party not only refused to let the child apologize to Dongzhi, but also acted arrogantly.

Do you really think that there is no one left in the Lin family? Do you really think that there is no one left in Shanglin Village?

Lin Xiaoman looked furious.

He looked at Dongzhi and said, "Dongzhi, fight back!"

"Xiaoman, forget it..." Wang Chunxiu was interrupted by Lin Xiaoman before she could finish her words.

She knew what Second Aunt was going to say, and it was nothing good anyway.

Lin Xiaoman squatted down, looked into Lin Dongzhi's eyes, and persuaded her, "Dongzhi, if you don't want to fight back, I won't force you. But you have to know that blindly tolerating will only make others think that you are easy to bully. After this time, if someone else bullies you, will you fight back? If you don't fight back, you will only be bullied."

Seeing Dongzhi's hesitation, Lin Xiaoman said, "Now in Shanglin Village, people from other villages dare to beat you, let alone outside the village. Do you want to keep giving in and be bullied?"

Lin Dongzhi shook his head. He didn't want to be bullied all the time.

Being bullied hurts.

He immediately had an epiphany and said firmly, "Sister, I want to fight back."

Wang Chunxiu felt guilty. She was used to being cowardly in front of outsiders. The boss was also a gourd with a sawed mouth. She felt inferior to others when she went out.

Now, after hearing what Lin Xiaoman said, she finally spoke, "Dongzhi, they beat you up on the face and head, so beat them back."

The woman pulled the child behind her to protect her, her fingers shaking with anger: "You, you rely on your numbers to bully us, just wait and see!"

Then he took the child and left.

Lin Dongzhi rushed over, regardless of anything, and slapped the child who was half a head taller than him twice.

The child who was being dragged away immediately burst into tears.

When the woman saw the child being beaten, she knew that the other party was difficult to deal with, so she didn't even bother to comfort the child and ran away after cursing at him.

At this time, the villagers that Lin Jingzhe had called had already arrived, with Lin Da and his wife leading the way.

During the first month of the lunar year, it is not the busy farming season and all villagers stay at home.

There were at least thirty or forty people rushing over at this moment.

Linda's wife recognized the other person at a glance, "Hey, isn't this Wang Pozi's distant niece? How dare you come to our Shanglin Village and bully our Shanglin Village kids?"

Some villagers grumbled, "We are from Shanglin Village and are easy to bully!"

"Wang Pozi's distant niece is from Xialin Village, right? During the drought, all the water in Xialin Village came from Lin Dajiang's well. She even dared to hit the Lin family's children. The people in Xialin Village are really ungrateful and ungrateful."

"We can't just let this go. Let's go to Xialin Village and ask the village head whether the child was taught to hit others by an adult."

The woman was completely panicked when she heard this, and hurriedly bowed her head to apologize, "Oh, it was a misunderstanding, it was all a misunderstanding, the kids were just fighting and I used too much force. I'm so sorry, Erwa, apologize now!"

The child was used to being so arrogant. He grabbed the woman's hand and shook his head desperately, "No! I won't apologize!"

The woman said angrily, "Why don't you listen to me, kid? Apologize now."

The matter cannot be resolved without an apology, but the child is spoiled and is like a stubborn donkey.

The anxious woman was sweating on her forehead.

"No, I won't. If you ask me to apologize, I'll let my grandma teach you a lesson!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the villagers in Shanglin Village were immediately furious.

Such a little kid has no respect for elders.

It can be seen that he is a tyrannical and unreasonable person.

Lin Jia Dongzhi must have been bullied badly before he fought back.

"No need to say more to them, let's go directly to Xialin Village!"

"Yes, he is so naughty at such a young age. He will definitely cause trouble to others when he grows up."

"Let's go to Xialin Village!"

Lin Xiaoman warned Lin Dongzhi, "Dongzhi, you are a man. When you get to Xialin Village, do you dare to tell me what happened before and after?"

It was the first time that Lin Dongzhi was praised by someone. He felt full of energy. He nodded firmly, "Sister, I dare!"

"That's good. You can go to Xialin Village with Uncle Linda, and I won't go."

"Okay! I'm a man, I'm not afraid anymore."

Lin Xiaoman smiled and nodded, said hello to Lin Da and Lin's eldest daughter-in-law, and left.

The family rushed to Shadi Village.

Passing by the town, Li Taohua bought a silver hairpin for her new bride.

The silver hairpin with pomegranate flowers symbolizes fertility and good fortune. It has a beautiful design and good meaning.

Li Zi'an was raised by him and he has the deepest relationship with his nephews and nieces.

Although she, as an aunt, cannot favor one over the other, she is, after all, the eldest son and grandson's wife of the Li family, so she has to spend more time and effort on them.

The young wives who came later also gave silver hairpins to match this standard.

-

The Li family in Shadi Village started preparing early in the morning.

Not only were the Li family members busy entertaining guests, but the village head was also busy.

Before Lin Dajiang arrived at Shadi Village by horse-drawn carriage, the villagers of Shadi Village had already arrived at the Li family's yard.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"The peach blossoms are about to bloom, so I thought I'd ask someone if Shanglin Village still wants chickens this year."

"I heard from Taohua that almost all the chickens and ducklings caught during the drought died. The villagers in Shanglin Village probably don't dare to catch them anymore. As for Taohua, the chickens and ducklings she caught last year have all grown up and laid eggs. I guess they don't want them anymore. Ask Taohua when she comes."

The head of the village was worried. He had finally found a way to make money, but God didn't allow him to make a living and simply blocked the way.

Just as she was worrying, she heard Li Zhong's little grandson running in, "Aunt is here!"

The people in Shadi Village didn't want to do what he wanted, and it was not up to him to decide whether to do it or not. It was useless to think too much, and he would know after asking.

"Dad, Mom!" Li Taohua got out of the car and carried out the New Year gifts with Lin Jingzhe and Lin Xiaoman.

Seeing that the village head was there, he hurriedly called him "Uncle Village Head".

Lin Xiaoman and the others also shouted for help.

After a round of greetings, everyone was led to the main hall by Zhang.

Li Shan's wife made some tea, and Li Qiao's wife was busy adding charcoal to make the fire burn more vigorously.

The village head of Shadi Village did not beat around the bush and interrupt the Li family's business. After chatting for a few words, he asked what he wanted to ask.

Li Taohua was stunned for a moment.

To be honest, she hasn't thought about this question yet.

He immediately looked at Lin Dajiang.

Lin Dajiang thought that since he already had so many chickens and ducks at home, he should take it easy this year. In case something happened again, there would never be another good thing like "Fukui" happening again.

If there was no "Fukui", all the chickens and ducks this year would definitely be lost. Not to mention the chickens and ducks, even the people would be lost.

Thinking of this, Lin Dajiang shook his head.

Before uttering the words of refusal, Lin Dajiang subconsciously looked at Lin Xiaoman.

Lin Xiaoman just nodded to him.

Xiaoman still wants to catch chickens and ducks, this...

Lin Dajiang was afraid that Lin Xiaoman would misunderstand his intentions, so he did not intend to say anything final.

"It's hard to say. I'll go back to the village and ask. As for whether we should arrest him at home, Taohua and I need to think it over carefully."

"It should be, it should be, this is also a big thing."

Although the head of Shadi Village did not get a definite answer, Lin Dajiang said he would go and ask later, and in a few days, he would come to the Li family again to inquire about the news.

"Brother, I will leave now so as not to disturb your family reunion."

The man from Shadi Village spoke to Li Taohua for a few more words before leaving.

After everyone left, Lin Dajiang looked at Lin Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, you don't want to catch chickens and ducklings anymore, do you? Why catch so many? It's a waste of food!"

Li Taohua was also a little anxious, "If you really want to catch them, then just catch less."

"Dad, Mom, let's not catch more, just about the same as last year."

Li Taohua originally breathed a sigh of relief when Lin Xiaoman said that he would not catch more.

But the next sentence stumped Li Taohua again.

What do you mean by similar to last year?

We caught a lot last year!

"It's useless to catch so many chickens and ducks, Xiaoman."

Lin Xiaoman said, "Dad, Mom, have you forgotten the fairy chicken? Last year, Lin Chunhua and I made beggar chicken together, but we stopped when the weather got hot, and then when it became dry, we gave up. This fall, I plan to make the fairy chicken and sell it!"

"We still have to sell them! Xiaoman, can you handle it?"

Li Taohua asked worriedly.

"I can handle the work, Mom. If I don't do it, I can hire someone to do it! It will not only make money, but also give the villagers something to do."

Lin Dajiang pondered, "Xiao Man, your idea is good, but our business is getting bigger and bigger. Is it necessary? It's enough for now."

Lin Dajiang's idea is very simple.

The family lives in harmony, with enough food and clothing, and lives without illness or disaster.

As for being wealthy or something like that, Lin Dajiang never even thought about it.

He is just a peasant, born and raised in a farming family, and he doesn't have any big aspirations.

"Yes, listen to your father. We have three workshops at home to keep us busy."

Lin Jingzhe felt that everyone was right and didn't know who to persuade.

Lin Xiaoman knew that he couldn't change his parents' minds in a short time, so he laughed and said, "We'll think about it later."

Li Zhong said, "Yes, yes! We finally have some free time in the first month of the lunar year. Let's take a few more days off. We can discuss these important matters after the first month of the lunar year."

Lin Dajiang nodded in agreement, "Dad is right, let's talk about it later."

"Zi'an's wife, come out quickly to meet your aunt and uncle." Zhang shouted towards the kitchen, and soon a girl of about seventeen or eighteen came out, wearing a brand new vermilion jacket.

As the wedding was approaching the Chinese New Year, the jackets made for us were all red. One we wore was bright red, and the other we changed into was a lighter red.

It was so prosperous, and Li Shan's wife and Zhang felt happy seeing it. A new bride should wear festive clothes.

"Aunt, Uncle." Zi'an's wife greeted Lin Dajiang and his wife openly.

Li Taohua looked happy. Which elder wouldn't like a cheerful and bright young lady?

"Hey, I heard from Zi'an that your name is Baozhu?"

Zi'an's wife smiled and nodded, "Aunt, you will do the same as my mother in the future to exchange my pearls."

"Great! Zi'an is really lucky to marry such a beautiful girl like Baozhu."

As she spoke, Li Taohua took out a silver hairpin with a hollow pomegranate flower and placed it in Baozhu's hand. "This is a gift from your aunt and uncle. We left in a hurry when you and Zi'an got married last time, so we should have given it to you on the second day of your wedding."

"Aunt, this is not possible." Baozhu was a little panicked. The silver hairpin in her hand didn't look cheap.

When Zi'an gave her a silver hairpin with auspicious cloud pattern, it cost him almost five taels of silver.

This hollow pomegranate pattern is exquisitely crafted and has a complex style. It is definitely much more expensive than the hairpin with auspicious cloud pattern.

"Keep it. It's not just for you. When Zifeng and Zimao get married, I, as their aunt, will also give it to them."

Baozhu looked at her mother-in-law.

Li Shan's wife nodded at her.

Baozhu then thanked Li Taohua and accepted the hairpin.

She took the hairpin, wrapped it in cotton cloth, and carefully put it back into the dressing box.

Li Zian, who was standing by, saw it and asked, "Baozhu, how about I put it on you?"

"I dare not wear such a valuable hairpin. If I accidentally lose it while working, I will be disappointed with my aunt and uncle's kindness and I will be heartbroken."

Li Zian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said helplessly: "Okay, if you say you don't want to wear it, then don't wear it. But when I make money in the future, I will buy you a gold hairpin. Will you wear it or not?"

Baozhu closed her dressing box and glanced at Li Zian with a smile, "Then I'll consider whether to wear it after you buy the gold hairpin."

Li Zian laughed, "Baozhu, you take your time to think about it. After all, I'm afraid you'll have to wait two years for me to buy you a gold hairpin."

-

Lin Dajiang and his family returned to Shanglin Village. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, Lin Xiaoman saw Lin Lichun at the door.

"beginning of spring?"

"Uncle, I'm waiting for you! My parents asked me to come and see you!"

Lin Dajiang stopped the carriage and asked, "About the winter solstice?"

Lin Lichun nodded and was about to speak when he heard Lin Dajiang say, "You go back first. Your aunt and I will go there later."

Lin Lichun nodded and watched his uncle and his family leave.

Then he walked all the way home and ran into Dongzhi, who was looking at him with disappointment, "Brother, aren't uncle and the others coming?"

"It's winter solstice, uncle and his family have a lot of stuff, so they said they'd go back and put it away and come back later."

Dongzhi then smiled, "Then, will the elder sister come?"

Lin Lichun shook his head, "I didn't ask that..."

At this time, Wang Chunxiu came out and saw her son alone, so she asked, "Lichun, didn't you meet your uncle?"

"I saw it. Uncle is coming back from Shadi Village. I guess there are a lot of things on the carriage. I have to go back and sort them out first. Uncle said he will come back later."

"Hey, you silly boy, have you told your uncle to come to our house for dinner?"

Lin Lichun exclaimed, "Ah! He didn't say that."

Wang Chunxiu stamped her feet and said, "Hurry up and go. If you go too late, your aunt might have already prepared dinner."

Upon hearing this, Lin Lichun immediately said, "I'll go call again!"

Lin Lichun ran away, and Lin Dongzhi wanted to follow him, but was grabbed by Wang Chunxiu.

"Dongzhi, come in and light the fire. Don't join in the fun. The bump on your head hasn't healed yet. If you get beaten up again, you'll be in trouble."

-

Lin Lichun ran to the end of the village and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his uncle's family still unloading the goods.

"Uncle, my parents invite you to dinner at home."

Lin Dajiang and Li Taohua looked at each other, and Li Taohua whispered, "The sun rose from the west?"

Lin Dajiang asked: "Did your parents ask you to come and call?"

"Yes!" Lin Lichun scratched his head, "The food is almost ready."

Lin Dajiang nodded and said to Li Taohua, "Okay, let's relax and not cook tonight. Let's go to my second brother's house for dinner."
