After the separation, I took my whole family to eat delicious food and drink spicy

Because the family had already been separated, the second wife didn't want to intervene when she saw the first wife was in trouble, so as not to get into trouble. After seeing Li Fusheng and his men leave, Li Lin told Su that she had to go back to her parents' home for something, took Li Dachun back to her room, packed some clothes, and left. Seeing this, Li Ren followed them.

Su looked at the behavior of the second branch's family and wanted to say something but couldn't. After all, when the family split up, it was made clear that they would live their own lives in the future.

Li Shen knelt down in front of Su, "Grandma, you can't just ignore your grandson. He still needs to continue the Li family's legacy."

It would have been better if Li Shen hadn't said anything. As soon as he said this, Su couldn't help but picked up the feather duster next to her and hit him, making him scream.

Li Fang, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand it any longer and quickly knelt down in front of Su. "Mother, mother, please stop hitting her. Shen'er is still young. If he gets hurt, we'll have to pay for medical treatment."

Upon hearing this, Su was so angry that he threw the feather duster to the ground. "Boss, what do you think we should do about this?" Su asked Li Jiang directly.

"Mother, that's thirty-two taels of silver! My son has never spent so much money in his life. What can I do?" He began to sob. They say men don't cry easily, but Li Jiang's tears really distressed Su Shi. Li Jiang was her favorite son, and Su Shi felt bad when he cried. "Tell me, how much silver can your eldest wife come up with?"

Seeing Su mentioning money, Li Fang was unwilling to accept it. "Mom, you know, we in the eldest house usually make a little money by doing odd jobs to take care of the mistress's affairs. How can we save any money? Mom, please help us." Li Fang said hurriedly.

"You bastard, you still want to hold on to your money and not give it to me. Li Shen is your good son. If you don't want to take the money yourself, do you want an old woman like me to take it?" After saying this, Su slapped Li Fang.

Li Fangshi didn't dare to fight back when she was beaten, she just sobbed and looked at Li Jiang. Li Jiang had no choice but to say, "Mother, we really don't have much money. You know our situation." Then he looked at Su Shi pitifully.

Seeing the expressions of Li Jiang and his wife, Su knew that it was useless to force them any further. "How about this, since you can't come up with the money, then go and borrow from the Bai family. Haven't they made a lot of money from business recently? Go and beg her. I don't believe she will just watch you die without helping." Su said with narrowed eyes, her eyes full of calculation.

When Li Jiang and the others heard this, they felt that what Su said made sense.

"Mom, let's go to Bai to borrow some money." After saying this, Li Fang quickly stood up and helped Li Jiang next to her up.

The two of them came to Li Xiaoxiao's house together and knocked on their door.

"Sister-in-law, Xiaoxiao, are you home?"

Li Jiang and his wife shouted a few times, but when no one answered, they pushed the door open and walked in.

The main room was empty, with no one in it.

"Where are all the people in broad daylight?" Li Fang asked puzzledly.

"Maybe he went out to work." Li Jiang said as he walked around the yard.

Suddenly, he found a set of fresh footprints next to the chicken coop, extending outside the yard.

"This is..." Li Jiang had a bad premonition in his heart and hurriedly followed the footprints.

"Uncle and aunt, why are you here?" Li Xiaoxiao's voice came from behind.

Li Jiang looked back and saw Li Xiaoxiao standing at the door holding a basket.

"Xiaoxiao, where did you go just now? We have something to talk to your mother about." Li Jiang forced a smile.

"I'm going to dig wild vegetables." Li Xiaoxiao glanced at them and said calmly.

"Oh, is that so?" Li Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiao Xiao, you know your cousin Li Shen has committed a crime, and now the creditor has come to our house to ask for repayment of thirty-two taels of silver. Look, your family is so well-off now, can you lend us some money to help us out?"

When Li Xiaoxiao heard this, her expression changed slightly.

"Uncle, aunt, are you kidding me? Thirty-two taels? Look at the thatched hut we live in now. Does it look like someone can afford thirty-two taels of silver? If we had that much money, we would have built a new house long ago." Li Xiaoxiao looked at Li Jiang and Li Fang as if they were fools.

"You!" Li Fang wanted to curse after hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, but Li Jiang, who was standing next to her, quickly and secretly pulled her back.

Li Jiang quickly smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, look at what you're saying. You're in business now, so you must be richer than us. Please help us, as we're all family."

Li Xiaoxiao sneered, "We're in business, sure, but that's also our hard-earned money. When we split up, we agreed to live our own lives, but now that we're in trouble, you're asking us for money. How can that be justified?"

Li Jiang and his wife were so choked that they were speechless.

Li Xiaoxiao continued, "Besides, cousin Li Shen got into trouble, so why should we pay for him? He got into trouble himself, so he should take the responsibility himself. The fact that he got into trouble like that is really due to your poor parenting. Let alone thirty-two taels, we wouldn't lend him even two taels of silver."

After saying that, Li Xiaoxiao turned and walked into the house, slamming the door shut. Li Jiang and Li Fangshi stood there, furious. Li Jiang couldn't contain his impulse and kicked the gate of Li Xiaoxiao's house. Not satisfied yet, he kicked it again. Li Fangshi even spat at the side, "Bah, you lowly bastard, what a piece of shit."

The two men left Li Xiaoxiao's house cursing.

"Master, what should we do?" Li Fang asked anxiously.

"What else can we do? Let's go home and think of other solutions." Li Jiang replied dejectedly.

The two left the Bai family helplessly, their hearts filled with despair. They knew that with their family's financial situation, it was almost impossible to collect 32 taels of silver.

Li Xiaoxiao, who was inside the house, watched them leave through the window, a sneer forming on her face. Serves them right! This is what you sow!

After Li Jiang and his friend returned home, they told Su exactly what Li Xiaoxiao had said. After hearing it, Su was so angry that she started cursing at them, but thinking about how she had gone to trouble them several times before and had not gotten anything good, she could only curse them verbally.

"If there is really no other way, we can only sell the land." Su thought for a long time and said that the land is the roots of farmers. No one would think of selling it unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Mom, we only have a few acres of land. If we sell it, how will we live in the future?" Li Jiang disagreed.

"You guys should come up with the money yourself."

Li Fang sighed, "What other options are there right now? If we don't sell the land, how can we raise the money?"

Li Jiang had a worried look on his face. "How about I go to the city and find some work? The more money I can make, the better."

Su shook her head. "Even if you work day and night, you can't earn that much money."

At this time, Li Fang suggested: "Mother, why don't we go ask the village chief and see if he has any ideas?"

Su thought this might be a solution, so he decided to visit the village chief early tomorrow morning. However, they didn't know what the outcome would be...
