She became a god
Chapter 338 Watching the Fun
Time flies, and at the end of May, a major event occurred in the Li family of Xihe Village.
Wen Xichun, who lives next door to the Li family, has been hearing faint sounds of arguing every night for the past few days.
Today, two groups of people from other villages came to the front of the Li family's house, and many villagers quietly watched the spectacle.
The red panda was getting restless. "Chun Chun, shall we go take a look too?"
I hear a little bit every night, but never the whole thing, which makes me really curious.
"it is good."
Wen Xichun put the little panda into a bamboo basket, filled it with a gourd of sweet water made with jasmine honey, and hung a gourd of jasmine honey on his own waist. He then took a small stool, locked the gate, found a spot not too far away, sat down, put the bamboo basket at his feet, and watched the Li family make a fool of themselves.
Wen Xichun took a sip of jasmine honey dew. It tasted sweet and refreshing, with a hint of jasmine fragrance. It was worth the thirty catties of jasmine flowers she had picked in the mountains.
The process of making jasmine honey dew is much simpler than Wenxi Chun had imagined. Under the guidance of the little panda, the jasmine flowers were cleaned, steamed, and then cooled. After cooling, they were put into a sealed jar, honey was poured in, the lid was closed, and the jar was placed in a cool place to ferment for a week.
It would taste even better if it were chilled!
Wen Xichun nodded. "If only we had a well at home!"
In summer, it can be used to chill and preserve fruits and vegetables, and in winter, there is no need to break the ice to get water.
But she only has ten taels of silver and some copper coins at hand, and hopes to save enough money to dig a well in the fall.
Wen Xichun and Ye Qingzhou were preoccupied with how to add a well to their home, while the Li family was preoccupied with how to end this farce.
Li Dazhu, the old man of the Li family, was very angry. He and his wife had only favored their youngest daughter a little, and this third daughter-in-law had become so bold as to dare to arrange a marriage for Li Baozhu, bypassing him and his wife.
Not to boast, but the Li family was a well-off farming family in Xihe Village. Baozhu was ambitious and became an embroiderer in the largest embroidery shop in Xihe Town. She was also very beautiful.
With his daughter's qualifications, she could easily become a scholar's wife.
When the son-in-law becomes successful, the Li family will also benefit.
San Niu is Bao Zhu's older brother. How could Bao Zhu not help her family after marrying well?
Unfortunately, the third daughter-in-law, Wang Zhaodi, was a short-sighted woman who couldn't bear to see Baozhu living comfortably. She secretly accepted the matchmaker's dowry and wanted to marry Baozhu off to Yujiagou.
Yujiagou is a notoriously poor and remote village with a bad reputation. The men there are known for beating their wives, and no family with any conscience would marry their daughter there.
How much hatred must Wang Zhaodi have for Baozhu to commit such a vicious act?
Li Baozhu's mother, Song Jinlian, couldn't help but burst into a tirade, "You shameless hussy, do you think our family is starving? You actually want to sell Baozhu to Yujiagou for just five taels of silver?"
"My husband and I are not dead yet. Even if my husband and I were gone, I have four sons and four daughters-in-law. How could you, the third daughter-in-law, presume to take our place?"
The people of Yujiagou didn't care about the grudges and feuds of the Li family. "Five taels of silver, either return it to us in full, or give my family a wife."
Song Jinlian glared fiercely at Wang Zhaodi, "Hurry up and give them the money."
Wang Zhaodi said guiltily, "I've spent all my money."
Li Shengsheng sneered. The money was taken away by that bloodsucking uncle as soon as she got it. It was mostly thanks to that bloodsucking uncle asking for money that she was able to overhear the matter and tell her aunt in time.
Otherwise, it would be like people from Jiagou coming to propose marriage, and the joke would become known to everyone in the surrounding villages.
"Snapped!"
Song Jinlian slapped Wang Zhaodi several times in a row, saying, "You greedy slut, quickly hand over the five taels of silver you gave me for selling my daughter. If you can't, I'll sell you to pay for that five taels of silver."
Wang Zhaodi panicked, "Mother, I gave you a big, healthy grandson. I'm a great contributor to the Li family. You can't sell me. Guangzong is still young and can't be without his mother."
[Tsk! That's just adding fuel to the fire.]
If I were Song Jinlian, which child's child would be more important than my own?
If anyone dared to sell my child, I'd kill them.
【Your child is young and needs his mother. Does Li Baozhu deserve to be sold to a remote mountain village, far away from her parents?】
The little panda guessed correctly. Song Jinlian got even angrier and this time she took a rolling pin and hit Wang Zhaodi, making Wang Zhaodi scream.
Li San Niu pleaded, "Mother, you usually spoil Baozhu too much, and Zhao Di has suffered a lot. She did this stupid thing in a moment of despair."
"Baozhu, you'd better stop her! If you don't, your third sister-in-law will be beaten to death."
Li Baozhu glanced at her brother, who was both strange and familiar, and said calmly, "If you do something wrong, you should be punished."
"Baozhu, you used to be so kind, why are you so petty now... Ah!... Mother, it hurts so much, why did you hit me too!"
Song Jinlian sneered, "Because you deserve to be beaten! Baozhu is your own sister. She was almost sold, and instead of comforting her, you pleaded for the person who sold her."
"If you weren't a piece of my flesh, I would have beaten you both to death!"
Li Dazhu couldn't stand it anymore. "Old woman, stop hitting them. Let them learn a lesson."
In Li Dazhu's heart, his daughter Li Baozhu was outstanding and beautiful, which certainly brought him a lot of face, but none of them were as important as his son and grandson.
Men are the ones who carry on the family line.
Song Jinlian felt terrible. She and her husband only had one daughter, Baozhu, who had suffered such a great injustice, yet her husband was going to let the culprit off lightly.
Li Baozhu was also a little disheartened, but when she thought of Li Shengsheng, who had tipped her off, and Song Jinlian, who had firmly defended her, she felt somewhat comforted.
Neither the third brother nor his wife are good people. Once this incident is over, the two of them will definitely hold a grudge against Song Jinlian and Li Shengsheng.
Li Baozhu didn't want anything to happen to her two closest relatives. She needed to earn more money and find a way to bring her mother and poor niece to live in town.
Li Dazhu didn't care about his wife and daughter's thoughts. He looked at Wang Zhaodi and said, "Third son's wife, that's five taels of silver. How could you have spent it all in less than half a month? Where did the silver go?"
Although Li Dazhu intended to let Wang Zhaodi go, he still needed to pay back the five taels of silver.
My daughter, Li Baozhu, is meant to marry into a wealthy family; how could she possibly marry into Yujiagou?
Wang Zhaodi felt smug seeing that her father-in-law favored her, thinking it was better to have given birth to a boy.
Having a son is believed to earn a woman's respect from her husband's family.
A man is a woman's greatest support.
This solidified Wang Zhaodi's decision not to betray her brother. "Father, I accidentally lost those five taels of silver."
[Tsk! They don't even bother to put in a little effort when lying!]
Based on the prices I saw when I shopped in Xihe Town last time, five taels of silver would be a huge sum in such a small village.
An ordinary person who received such a large sum of money would definitely hide it well.
[This woman looks greedy; how could she possibly lose such a large sum of money as five taels of silver so easily?]
Li Dazhu was too lazy to expose her little scheme; his immediate priority was to get rid of the people from Yujiagou.
“Then the family will pay the five taels of silver first, and all income of the third branch will be given to the family until the five taels of silver are paid off.”
Upon hearing this, Li Sanzhu's expression changed drastically.
Wang Zhaodi hurriedly said, "Why go through all that trouble? If Baozhu doesn't want to marry, just marry Shengsheng to her instead."
[Unbelievable! Is Li Shengsheng really Wang Zhaodi's daughter?]
