Li Yanming took two steps in the yard, raised his voice and said to the window of the east wing: "Go to the west wing and light the lamp."

Hearing the response from inside, Li Yanming turned around and took two steps, following Patriarch Li to the entrance of the courtyard.

There were two men and three children standing outside the courtyard gate. He had seen these people from Dongpo. Patriarch Li smiled and asked in a sinister way: "Ye Xiucai, Lu Youqing, why are you coming to my house so late?"

What are you doing?"

Si Sheng said: "Clan Leader Li, we have something to tell you."

Lu Youqing approached him and lowered his voice: "It's about Li Jixu's two daughters-in-law and a grandson."

Patriarch Li suddenly shrank his pupils. Didn't these people accompany the new sister-in-law back to her hometown? Could something have happened?

He glanced at the two people suspiciously, put away the smile on his face, and said, "Come in and talk."

In the west wing of the Li family, Patriarch Li asked eagerly: "What happened to my brother's daughter-in-law and grandson? What happened? How do you know about them?"

Patriarch Li looked at the wooden hairpin stained with black stains, his hands were shaking uncontrollably, and he was speechless as he gritted his molar teeth.

This was something that his eldest nephew gave to his nephew-in-law Mrs. Liu when he died. It was still stained with the child's blood, and Mrs. Liu always kept it with her.

If Lu Youqing could come up with this thing, he was definitely not lying.

Li Yanming said angrily: "This old godly woman turned out to be a liar. She did such an immoral and unconscionable thing, which has caused great harm to my uncle's family."

Patriarch Li could no longer control himself. He suddenly stood up and shouted, "Where is she now? I will kill this heartless and evil wolf."

Si Sheng said hurriedly: "Clan Chief Li, please calm down. This matter needs to be considered in the long run. You can't damage the vase just to kill the mouse."

Patriarch Li still understood the principle of avoiding rats. After listening to Si Sheng's words, he forced himself to calm down, rubbed his hands and walked around the room twice, and said to Li Yanming: "Go get some tea."

Li Yanming quickly brought back a large, steaming iron pot and poured a cup of hot tea for Si Sheng, Lu Youqing and Patriarch Li. He also made several bowls of brown sugar water for the three children.

Patriarch Li had calmed down and then ordered Li Yanming, "Go and light a brazier and come in. It's too cold in this room without a kang."

"Brother Li, you don't have to be polite. Let's leave after we finish talking." Si Sheng stopped Li Yanming in a hurry and turned back to Patriarch Li: "Now that pregnant woman and the two liars are in our Dongpo. The Liu family and the Fang family are leading

We are also living with Madam Jin at Mrs. Jin’s house with our children. The conditions there are not good, so we are afraid of wronging them.”

Patriarch Li hurriedly pulled Li Yanming to his feet and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your life-saving grace. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration for my family."

When he first heard the news, Patriarch Li was immediately immersed in the shock and anger of having been tricked into defrauding the seller's family. Only then did he focus on the aftermath of this matter.

The people in Dongpo have no friendship with the Li family. If you think about it carefully, he has hurt them in order to go against the Chen clan leader.

But when they encountered this incident, not only did they not add insult to injury, but they also took action to save three lives of their family. Moreover, caring about the reputation of their Li family, they brought the man back without making any announcement, and even went to find him quietly at night.

This magnanimity and thoughtfulness convinced him from the bottom of his heart.

As Patriarch Li said this, he and Li Yanming both knelt down in front of Lu Youqing and were about to kowtow.

Lu Youqing quickly helped Patriarch Li, "You can't do it. Patriarch Li, you are the elder. Isn't this shortening my life?"

Lu Youqing grabbed Patriarch Li, and Li Yanming finally kowtowed to him before standing up with Si Sheng's hand.

Lu Youqing smiled and said: "Clan Chief Li, you should call me Youqing."

Patriarch Li said: "Okay, Youqing, if you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Li from now on, and the same goes for Ye Xiucai."

Si Sheng laughed and said: "Uncle Li will no longer call me Ye Xiucai or Ye Xiucai from now on, just call me Si Sheng."

Patriarch Li nodded, then frowned and said: "When I first heard about this, my mind was very confused and I couldn't think of a reason. It's hard to deal with several liars, but after all, the victims are two women.

people,

There are so many people from the Li family who still need to live in this village. Youqing, Sisheng, you are smart, think about it for me, but do you have any perfect solution?"

Half an hour later, Si Sheng, Lu Youqing and the others left Patriarch Li's house. After a while, Patriarch Li and Li Yanming also left the house and quietly went to Dongpo.

The next morning, Niu Zhixin greeted the men, led the animals and carts and farm tools, and prepared to work in the fields.

Yesterday, Qiangzi and the others bought five more iron plows, as well as iron rakes, hammers, etc. In addition, Lu Youqing had something to do here yesterday, so Niu Zhixin did not arrange for anyone to plow the fields at night.

Now, all the men in the fields have come out. Everyone was about to go to the fields when they suddenly saw a group of young and strong men walking towards this side in a mighty manner.

Everyone stopped and looked over there warily.

Niu Zhixin hurriedly walked to the path and squinted his eyes carefully to look at the people coming. He saw that they were driving mule carts and pulling frame carts, and some of them were carrying tools on their shoulders. He knew they were here to build a fence, so he hurriedly called out to come out.

He also asked someone to call Si Sheng.

Suixin was specially left by Si Sheng to contact the person who built the wall.

Due to poor business, Qiangzi and Sansheng stopped setting up stalls in the county town, so Sisheng asked Qiangzi to take over the job of selling bean sprouts.

As soon as Suixin came over, he recognized Wanxiang Guang sitting on the mule cart and hurriedly went up to greet him.

Wanxiang Guang brought more than thirty people, with tools such as pestles of different sizes pulled on mule carts, and several pairs of wall panels on frame carts.

Wan Xiangguang and Si Sheng took the drawings and looked at the scene casually, then walked up to the thirty or so men to assign work.

After a while, these people were divided into four groups and started digging the foundation in four directions at the same time.

When the children from Dongpo came back from boxing practice and saw the battle, they were not in a hurry to go home for dinner. They all gathered around not far away to watch.

Suxue poked Wang Zeran next to her, "Look at Wan Xiangguang, does he look like a general? Although his legs and feet are inconvenient, he points the country with high spirits and turns his hands to make clouds and rain. Doesn't he look particularly handsome?

?」

Wang Zeran was staring at a craftsman who was drawing lines on the ground with a leather rope. After listening to Suxue's words, he turned to look at Wanxiang Guang and said displeasedly: "General, lame people can't go to the battlefield. Where can I find it?"

The opportunity for him to guide the country, what else is there to be cool about?"

Suxue glanced at Wang Zeran, wondering why he was in a bad mood so early in the morning and spoke in such a rude tone.

Suxue thought for a moment and said considerately: "Your uncle is back, haven't you had a chance to talk to him yet? He should be finished today. Let's go make some snacks later and give him something fresh to taste when he comes back.

, how's it going?"
