Cheng Xue was stunned when she heard the sound, looked at Li Yue in confusion and asked:

"Is it your third grandfather's voice?"

"……Seems to be."

"What's he doing here?" Cheng Xue muttered and told Li Yue to look at the pot and leave the house in a hurry.

"Huizi's wife is busy, isn't she?"

"Yeah." Cheng Xue responded and opened the courtyard door without leashing the dog.

Seeing that she had no intention of letting him enter the house, Li Laosan stood still and said:

"Son, I don't want to come, but the patriarch is sick and can't get off the ground, so he has to let me come. I will just go through the motions and you can decide whatever you want. We don't have much to say."

They all say that Li Laosan is smart, and he has learned the lesson today. Go back and tie up the tiger, and invite him into the house.

"Since Third Uncle is straight to the point, I won't beat around the bush. I guessed Uncle Third's reason for coming and what Li Fang meant. But I don't even have to pay the family food. Does Third Uncle think I can buy firecrackers?"

"I know I can't, and I said so, but he refused to give up and insisted on letting me come over. We are just going through the motions. You have the right to think that I am drunk and talking nonsense."

Naturally, Cheng Xue couldn't be hostile to this kind of attitude. She shook her head with a smile and said:

"Looking at what Third Uncle said, can I still discriminate between good and bad? But there is one thing I don't understand. You said that all the firecrackers have been bought by my family in recent years, and the Qingming Festival sacrifices are also made by my family. What happened to the money from the clan?

?”

She knew that Li Laosan was ambitious, so she said this deliberately. Of course, she also guessed that Li Fang would give these clan elders money, but the money given was definitely the tip of the iceberg. Moreover, it was definitely not Li Fang who asked him to come.

.

Seeing that he was silent, Cheng Xue gave another strong dose——

"Third uncle, let me tell you the truth. Our Huizi will not stay in the village for a long time. There are so many good talents in the clan school, such as Li Wanping. With time, he will definitely be able to make a difference. Huizi is now in the Pediatric Department.

The purpose of taking the exam is to pave the way for these seedlings. Our family has never thought about clan leaders and clan leaders."

To put it so bluntly, Li Laosan couldn't even pretend to be confused. The reason why he kept letting Li Fang suppress Li Hui was because he was afraid that this kid would show up. Now that people have expressed their stance, what should he have to worry about.

"Okay, Third Uncle knows what to do. You are such a powerful girl. No wonder Li Qingnian's mother made such a fuss to ask you to come in. With you guarding Hui Zi, that kid can't make a mistake. Third Uncle, thank you, it's a done deal.

I will compensate you well."

"Third uncle, you are too polite. You are complying with destiny."

Cheng Xue's silly words immediately made him laugh heartily "Haha..." Changing the clan leader is not a trivial matter, it needs to be considered in the long term.

Standing up to leave, Cheng Xue quickly picked up a bowl of meatballs in a small basin.

"Third uncle, let's try something fresh. It's fresh out of the pot and it's hot."

"No, my house was blown up too."

"Are you still being polite to us? Just take it, it's not a good thing."

Cheng Xue said as she sent him out. After watching him go for a long time, she returned to the house.

The fish has been fried, and the oil is poured into a small basin to save for cooking later. I bought ten pounds of soybean oil in Fucheng just for frying today.

"Tangtang, go back to the house and rest for a while. Mom will go see your father."

"I'll go too, mom, and help dad cut paper. I heard from Tiedan that many people have made couplets with the word "blessing" for dad, which is great."

Li Yue said "good" not because of the eggs, but because the village was finally willing to recognize them and value them.

Although they say "don't care", who can really say "don't care"?

"That's not necessary for you. Come in and put your brother and sister to bed. You can also lie down for a while."

She forcefully carried the person into the house. When she entered the study, Li Hui was lying on the table writing furiously, and Yan Yixin was writing the word "Fu" beside him. He had also practiced for several years, and he had some skills. He must be better than Li Fang in writing.

"My wife came over to help me sharpen my ink. I will write more."

"Why?" Cheng Xue wondered.

Li Hui raised her head and took a deep breath, and she understood instantly.

Yes, Li Fang can't write this year, most people in the village have to come here.

After the ink was polished, she went to cut the paper again. She couldn't be idle anyway, both of them were busy.

While I was working, I heard Lu's voice from outside.

Why, if Li Laosan is not good as a lobbyist, why not replace him with another one?

Cheng Xue came out and saw that the tiger had been tied up. He let the dog go first and then opened the door.

"Auntie, is there something wrong?"

Just as Lu was about to enter the courtyard, she saw the big yellow dog staring at him eagerly. She quickly said "ouch" and took two steps back. Cheng Xue took the opportunity to come out and close the courtyard door.

"Ah, it's nothing serious. It's just that your second uncle is sick and can't write the couplets. Let Huizi write the couplets for this year's village and then hand over half of the eggs to the account."

What? So shameless?

Cheng Xue sneered "Haha..." and said:

"What are the rules set before?"

"What are the rules set a long time ago! It's always been like this, but you don't know. Just writing a few couplets a year can get you half of the money?"

Lu's arrogance is disgusting. Such a person cannot be allowed to have real power, otherwise she will rise to the sky in a matter of seconds.

"The clan is so open-minded? If we are open-minded, why do we have to have firecrackers set off at my house every year? Offerings during the Qingming Festival?"

"Your family has a lot of land and a strong financial foundation. If you don't give up, who will take out the money?"

"Auntie, are you sure this is what the clan thinks?"

"I..." Mrs. Lu covered her mouth, panicking.

When I get excited, I speak out everything in my heart. Is this going to be a bad thing?

Cheng Xue was very angry. She hated people who "eat and drink without thanking her". Of course, she also hated the original owner for his big head!

"Since Auntie said this, let alone family food, firecrackers, seeds, offerings, and eggs this time, our family won't get any. If you want us to hand over the eggs, it's no problem, just take out the previous accounts. I can't see it.

, don’t pay.”

"what do you mean?"

"Is it difficult to understand the literal meaning?" Cheng Xuemiao smiled, "You are just a messenger. Now that the message has arrived, I heard it, and you can go back to deliver the message. From now on, we will have no contact with you.

Don’t be taken advantage of!”

Compared to Cheng Xue's calmness, Lu was trembling all over.

It's not that I'm angry, it's that I'm afraid.

She didn't expect that she would do something bad by making a mistake. What would she do if she went back? Just when she was about to say something soft, Xu Geng came out from next door.

"Who do you think you are if you use chicken feathers as arrows? Li Fang's shriveled calf shaves his head every year, and you think the whole village is blind? Walk around, don't act like a fool here, no one will take care of you. If you feel that

If you feel wronged, you can find Li Zheng, the mayor, or the county magistrate. Tiedan Niang, go home, have you finished your work at home? Have you finished writing my couplet?"

"No, I'm much older."

"Then why don't you go back quickly?"

Cheng Xue said "Oh" obediently, waved to Mrs. Lu and closed the courtyard door. Mrs. Geng "poofed" on the ground and went home humming a ditty.

Only Mrs. Lu stood there angrily, grinding her back molars.

Every household was bombing something today, and no one came out, so only Geng knew about this little farce...
