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

The next morning, Su and Li Jiang went to the village chief's house. They explained their purpose and asked for his help. After a moment's reflection, the village chief said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but thirty-two taels of silver is simply too much. I suggest you sell the land. I can ask the villagers if anyone is willing to take it over." Seeing the village chief's offer, Su reluctantly agreed.

That afternoon, the village held an emergency meeting. The village chief explained the plight of the Li Jiang family and appealed to everyone to lend them some money. However, most villagers knew the character of the Li Jiang family and were uncertain about when or if they would receive the money back. Therefore, the villagers said they were not well-off and could not offer much help.

Seeing that no one was willing to help, the village chief asked if anyone was willing to buy Li Jiang's land. If so, they could complete the transfer procedures immediately. After asking around, no one responded. Li Jiang and his friends were extremely anxious.

Just when everyone was at their wits' end, Li Xiaoxiao's voice came over. "Village chief, I'm willing to buy my uncle's land."

"What? You are willing to buy it?" Li Jiang and others looked at Li Xiaoxiao in surprise.

"Li Xiaoxiao, what do you mean? Yesterday we came to you to borrow money, but you said you had no money. Now you have money to buy our land. What are you thinking?" Li Fang shouted.

Li Xiaoxiao sneered, "Aunt, what am I up to? You all know it. Anyway, there's no use for you keeping this land. You can get some money by selling it to me."

Su gnashed her teeth and said, "Well, you little heartless thing, you actually took advantage of the situation to rob me!"

Li Jiang quickly grabbed Su and said, "Mom, stop talking. Do we have any other choice now?"

Seeing that both parties agreed, the village chief began processing the land transfer procedures. Li Xiaoxiao took out 21 taels of silver and purchased two acres of high-quality paddy fields from the Li Jiang family, plus one acre of high-quality land allocated to the Su family. Li Xiaoxiao also generously promised them that he would take back the three acres of land after they harvested the grain from the other acres. Naturally, Li Fang and his friends didn't feel grateful to Li Xiaoxiao for this; they simply felt that this was the way it should be.

Su went back and took out the ten taels of silver she had saved for the coffin board, and also took out the one tael of silver that Li Jiang and his wife had saved, adding Li Jiang's others, and gave the total of thirty-two taels of silver to Li Fusheng. Li Fusheng took the silver back and did not make things difficult for Li Shen anymore. He took his men directly back to the town.

Li Jiang's family, however, had lost their land and could only rely on Su's one acre of land to make a living. Li Shen, having caused such a disaster, could only stay at home every day, but he never gave up his dream of getting rich overnight. He felt that his current situation was due to Li Xiaoxiao. If she had been kind enough to lend them money, his family would not have had such a hard time.

Li Jiang now forced him to reclaim wasteland daily, blisters forming on his hands. Li Shen's previous job was serving tea and water to guests, so how could he endure the hardship he faced now? He was woken before dawn every day and fed the cheapest black-faced steamed buns. Back when he was at Xiangmanlou, he didn't have the luxury of daily fish and meat, but he could still have three dishes, a soup, and white rice for every meal. Comparing this with his current life, Li Shen's resentment towards Li Xiaoxiao's family grew deeper and deeper.

Let’s talk about Li Xiaoxiao’s family. Since they started raising crayfish, they have to inspect the shrimp fields every day and deliver goods to Xiangmanlou every day. They are very busy. Li Xiaoxiao sighs all the time that they are really busy.

So, early this morning, after breakfast, she went to the shrimp farm alone. After this period of preparation, there were already a lot more crayfish in the farm. Li Xiaoxiao also found that some of the crayfish had begun to lay eggs. According to the reproduction rate of crayfish, it seemed that it would not be long before the number of crayfish in her farm would increase exponentially.

Li Xiaoxiao was checking the growth of her crayfish when she heard a commotion. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Li Shen walking towards her angrily.

"Li Xiaoxiao, you bitch!" Li Shen pointed at Li Xiaoxiao and cursed, "It's all because of you that we lost our land!"

Li Xiaoxiao looked at him innocently, "Cousin, how can you say that? I spent twenty-one taels of silver to buy your family's land. How can you say it was my fault?"

"You obviously have money, but you don't lend it to us, and you even take the opportunity to buy our land. Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for us?" Li Shen said angrily.

"Cousin, we have already separated. Even if I really have money, it is my business whether I lend it to you or not. Besides, buying and selling are free. Since you agree to sell the land, you have no right to blame me." Li Xiaoxiao argued.

"You..." Li Shen was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"What are you talking about? Instead of wasting time making trouble here, you might as well go back and open up some more wasteland." Li Xiaoxiao said to Li Shen.

After hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, Li Shen wanted to go forward and hit someone with his fists in his pocket. Li Xiaoxiao picked up a stick nearby, pointed at Li Shen and said, "If you dare to come forward, don't blame me for not having eyes with the stick in my hand. I dare to hit even breasts, so how can I be afraid of you?"

Seeing this, Li Shen had no choice but to give up. He left in shame after making some harsh remarks.

Li Xiaoxiao watched Li Shen's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This family really doesn't repent! However, she didn't want to get entangled with them anymore. As long as they didn't come to make trouble, she could raise crayfish in peace.

She continued to check on the crayfish to ensure their healthy growth. After a busy morning, Li Xiaoxiao finally returned home.

As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw her mother, Mrs. Su, looking out the door. Mrs. Su asked worriedly, "Xiaoxiao, are you okay? I heard someone scolding you just now."

Li Xiaoxiao comforted her, "Mom, I'm fine, don't worry."

Su nodded and pulled Li Xiaoxiao into the house.

At this time, Li Fang and Li Linlin also came back from the foot of the mountain with a basket full of tender green grass, which they cut for the two rabbits to eat. Now the two rabbits have grown a lot under the careful feeding of Li Fang and Li Linlin. It will be as big as the previous female rabbit soon.

Li Xiaoxiao even joked with them that they would sell the rabbits at Xiangmanlou after a while, but they refused, saying they wanted to keep them for breeding rabbits. Li Xiaoxiao just smiled after hearing this.
