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

After returning home, Li Ren saw Li Fang dragging Li Dachun in, and he started to curse, "You woman, it's time for dinner and you haven't cooked yet. What are you doing wandering around? Do you want to starve me to death?"

It would have been fine if Li Ren didn't say anything, but as soon as he did, Li Fang got angry. She had just not gotten the good treatment from Li Xiaoxiao, and now she was scolded by Li Ren when she came back. She wasn't going to do it anymore.

"Eat, eat, eat! All you do is eat. Your son got beaten up and you didn't even bother to seek justice. What's the point of having you as a father?"

Li Lin was so angry that she cursed back. Normally, she would not dare to contradict Li Ren like this even if she had the courage.

After hearing what Li Fang said, Li Ren came up and slapped her, and Li Dachun next to her was scared.

"Dad, why did you hit Mom? She was late for cooking because she went to seek justice for me." Li Dachun muttered in a low voice.

"Besides, you will be beaten too. Why do you go to provoke Li Xiaoxiao for no reason? You can get something good from her, but be careful not to get yourself hurt." Li Ren warned Li Dachun.

"Dad, why do you say that to me? I'm not wrong. They are children who were born by a father but not raised by him." Li Dachun said unconvinced.

If Li Xiaoxiao saw this, she would definitely complain in her heart, saying that Li Dachun was a spoiled child and there was no hope for him.

Li Ren didn't want to bother with them anymore and just walked into the room.

After calming down, Li Lin listened to Li Ren's words, covered her face and went to the kitchen to cook, leaving Li Dachun standing alone in the yard, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Li Shen, who had just finished work outside, saw Li Dachun in the yard. There were five clear slap marks on Li Dachun's face. On the way back, he had heard from the villagers about Li Dachun being beaten.

Li Shen felt that he had found a companion. He stepped forward with ill intentions and said, "How is it? It doesn't feel good to be slapped in the face, right? Don't you want revenge?" Li Shen whispered in Li Dachun's ear.

The sudden sound startled Li Dachun. When he saw that it was Li Shen, he pushed Li Shen hard and said, "What are you doing? Are you trying to scare me to death?"

"Dachun, don't you want to make Li Xiaoxiao suffer? How about we work together?" Li Shen tempted Li Dachun to deal with Li Xiaoxiao together.

Li Dachun was also a simple-minded person. After being bewitched by Li Shen, he nodded in agreement.

The two conspired for a long time and decided to teach Li Xiaoxiao a lesson tonight.

As for Li Xiaoxiao's family, after seeing Li Lin's mother and son leave, they no longer paid any attention to them. They concentrated on making lunch. The pork belly they bought yesterday had not been eaten yet, so Li Xiaoxiao prepared some stir-fried pork with chili peppers, made a tomato and egg soup, and stir-fried some beans. After lunch, the family rested for a while and then went back to the fields to weed and fertilize.

Li Xiaoxiao also took the time to go to the wasteland to check on the beans he had planted before. Most of them had grown, but a small part of them might have been eaten by insects or something, and did not grow. Li Xiaoxiao went back and got some soybean seeds to make up for it.

The mother and daughter worked under the scorching sun for another afternoon and finally cleared the weeds from the field, loosened the soil for the corn, and applied fertilizer.

Li Xiaoxiao took a look and saw that there were still many villagers in the fields weeding and applying fertilizers. Farmers make a living by tending the few acres of land at home. When the harvest is good, the farmers' lives are better. If the harvest is bad, they still have to pay taxes and their lives will be difficult. No wonder people say that farmers rely on the weather for their livelihood.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Bai asked Li Xiaoxiao to go home.

In the evening, when the family was sitting at the dinner table, Li Xiaoxiao said to Bai, "Mom, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, let's go to town together. We have too many peppers at home. Let's pick some and send them to Xiangmanlou to see if Manager Zhao will accept them. We can also buy some cotton and cloth. When you have time, make some quilts and winter clothes for our family. The elders in the village said that judging by the weather, this winter will probably be very cold."

Li Fang and Li Linlin were very happy to hear that they could go to town tomorrow. Bai also agreed, and the whole family would go together tomorrow.

After dinner, Li Xiaoxiao boiled a basin of hot water and washed up simply. Taking a bath was a very inconvenient thing in ancient times. It might be okay for rich families, but poor families like Li Xiaoxiao had to take a bath in the toilet. Li Xiaoxiao couldn't stand the smell and was afraid of accidentally falling into the pit. Li Xiaoxiao missed the modern bathroom very much and thought that if he built a new house in the future, he must design a toilet like a modern bathroom.

Although building a house now is a bit impractical, Li Xiaoxiao also wants to build a small thatched hut next to the kitchen to use as a bathing place. This matter needs to be discussed with Bai. Thinking about it, Li Xiaoxiao soon fell asleep.

Dark and windy nights are the perfect time to commit evil deeds. Just then, at the Li family's old house, two furtive figures slipped out of the Li family's gate, one of them holding a hoe. They carefully ran all the way to Li Xiaoxiao's shrimp farm in the moonlight.

"Dachun, go open the water outlet in the shrimp field, and I'll push the ridge of the shrimp field." Li Shen said.

"Okay, be careful and don't make any noise or get discovered." Li Dachun said fearfully. After all, he was doing a bad thing, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid.

"Don't worry, no one will find out. Don't delay, go quickly!" After saying that, Li Shen took the hoe and went to the other side.

Li Dachun also went to look for the outlet of the shrimp farm. He groped in the dark, feeling nervous and excited, with beads of sweat oozing from his palms.

Relying on his memory, Li Dachun finally found the shrimp farm's outlet: a small opening simply covered with a wooden board, used to regulate the water level. He took a deep breath, exerted force with both hands, and the board creaked as it slowly moved away. The cool night breeze, mixed with moisture, hit him in the face, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Li Shen had also sprung into action. He swung his hoe, hammering at the ridge of the shrimp paddock again and again. Although he tried to keep the noise down, the clatter of the hoe against the earth was still particularly harsh in the still night.

Li Shen was also very nervous, fearing that he would alarm the nearby villagers, but when he thought of the "lesson" he was about to teach Li Xiaoxiao, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

As time went by, a gap was gradually dug in the ridge of the field, and clear water began to flow out from the gap, merging into the ditch below, carrying away the lobsters that had been painstakingly cultivated in the shrimp fields.

Li Dachun felt a sense of relief, but also a sense of unease. He knew that doing so would not only cause financial losses to Li Xiaoxiao's family, but would also likely lead to greater conflict between the two families.
