Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 63 Broken! Something Big Has Happened!
Even though the original owner had no land to farm, he still knew about farming!
Gongjiazhai grows two crops of rice a year. If the land belongs to the emperor, he must pay the emperor for grain. This is the rule of the government.
In previous years, when times were good, the remaining grain after paying the grain tax could be grown on much land, barely enough to feed the family.
If you want to eat dry food, you can only take the rice to a rice shop and exchange it for millet or bean sprouts.
If your family has little land, you don't even have the opportunity to eat thin rice porridge. It doesn't matter whether you want to switch to millet or bean sprouts.
As for the white flour that is only available in the north, that kind of precious stuff, many people in the south have been growing it all their lives and don’t even know what it tastes like.
"Mom, she doesn't deserve to make you angry! Let's wait and see when brother comes back! And..." Gong Qiaoer dragged Wu away, and the two of them bitched their ears.
Wu Xiulan listened to Gong Qiaoer's words and looked back from time to time.
The weird look of the Gong and Wu family made Lin Tao frown. These two wicked things wouldn't cause any trouble again!
As the Gong Wu family walked away, the villagers passing behind them cast envious glances at Lin Tao.
Someone asked in a low voice: "Is that really white noodles?"
"That should be it." Someone replied in a low voice: "I have seen a cake made of white flour once. The shape is the same as this one, but the color is white and tender."
"Then why is Lao Li's family so muddy?"
“Perhaps it’s really moldy as Gong Qiaoer said?”
Li Er, who had been holding it in for a long time, yelled: "You are the ones who got moldy! This is called tartary buckwheat cake! Don't be blind if you haven't eaten it before!"
The villagers were frightened by Li Er's loud voice and ran away one after another.
Li Er sat back with a smile on his face.
Just during the quarrel, Li Yi had already devoured his portion of cake and porridge.
At this moment, he was contentedly wiping his lips and asking: "Second brother, what are you happy about?"
"Boss, do you feel relieved too? Over the years, our family has suffered a lot from Mrs. Wu's anger. Today, we have regained all our dignity! It's comfortable! It's so comfortable!"
After Li Er finished speaking, even Li Donghua, who never talked much, nodded in agreement. This shows how much Wu Xiulan had gone too far before.
"It's Lao Si's fault for this! If he didn't miss Gong Qiao'er, what happened later wouldn't have happened!"
"Brother! Let's talk about things. Why does it involve me again? Besides, it's all old news! Last time Gong Qiaoer came to the door, I didn't even look at her."
This was the first time Lin Tao heard about Li Si's explanation.
"What are you doing here, Gong Qiao'er? Looking for you?" Wu Xiulan is a poor girl. How can her daughter be any better?
Li Si then told in detail what happened to Gong Qiaoer that day.
When he finished speaking, everyone except Lin Tao shook their heads, expressing their disbelief that Li Si could refuse Gong Qiaoer.
"Really! If you tell a lie, the sky will strike like lightning!"
The second elder suddenly changed his face. The old man cheered, and the old lady touched Li Si's head: "Our fourth elder is finally awake!"
Li Si, if you praise him, he will raise his tail to the sky.
"That's right! Grandma, my grandson is now a person who has seen the world! How can he be like a local dog who has never been out of the village!"
This man always lets his mouth slip. Before Lin Tao could stop him in a hurry, Li Si told her about taking him to see the world.
The two elders became quiet immediately.
The old man seemed to be trying hard to restrain himself, not asking questions or saying much.
But the old lady was impatient, and she said, "Taozi! Although Gong Qiao'er is not good, you can't lead Si'er to do those ridiculous things! This means that others don't know, and if those girls and wives from rich families know
Well, why don't you two be beaten to death with sticks?"
"Yes, yes, I know. I won't do it again!" Lin Taoying stood up.
The old lady wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the old man: "Okay, let's clean up and get to work!"
"Why do you stop me every time I want to talk..."
"Your Majesty, I'll talk about it later. Look at this yard. It's in such a mess. The newly-paved walls are still in a bad state. If we can't finish it today, we'll have to delay it again tomorrow."
As soon as Lin Tao said this, the old lady ran away.
"You guys are busy, I'll wash the dishes."
The whole family began to work on their own again.
Li San, who had just finished papering the walls of the newly built house and went out to fetch water, rushed in the door as if he had seen a ghost.
Not to mention that the water was sloshing around, if you add a piece of water left in the two buckets, you might not be able to fill even one bucket.
Li Santao didn't even let go. He closed the door, took the bolt and locked the door.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Tao asked.
When Li San came back to his senses, there was no color on his face, and he was still muttering as if he was possessed by an evil spirit: "It's broken! Something big has happened!"
Lin Tao stepped forward, grabbed the pick from his shoulder, and kicked Li San on the butt.
"Is the sky falling or the earth falling? Look at you like this! Have you seen a ghost?"
Li San pointed in the direction of the courtyard door and stammered: "Okay, people, there are so many people!"
As soon as he said this, Li Si and Li Er, who were always busy, dropped what they were doing and ran over to watch the fun.
It's funny to say that the wall of this courtyard is only half a person's height. What's the difference if the courtyard door is closed or not?
"Mom! Look, someone is really coming!" Li Si shouted.
Lin Tao then put down her pick and went over.
Far away, a group of people are coming this way.
"What's wrong? What happened to our family? Second brother, tell the truth, did you ruin a girl's innocence?" Li Yi pulled Li Er and asked.
Mrs. Xu on the side stared at Li Er with a red face.
Lin Tao then remembered that Li Er seemed to have spent some time without much trouble.
Is it possible that this is something that the family cannot eat and has jumped over the wall?
"I, brother, it's just me!" Shaking off Li Yi's hand, Li Er explained repeatedly: "Mom, I really don't have any! These days, I'm so tired that I fall down and fall asleep. Where can I still have those thoughts? Besides, last time
I almost killed my son when I went back to your emergency meeting in the middle of the night! How dare I think about those things!"
Li Yi, who was panicked, went to trouble Li Si again.
"Then it's the fourth child! Did you borrow money from someone else? Or did you steal someone else's food? Fourth child! This big family must not be killed by you! If you steal food, you will be tied up and sacrificed to the mountain god.
Yes! You don’t want to live, but don’t drag us on the road with you!”
Lin Tao looked at Li Si.
In his memory, Li Si used to do some petty theft for gambling.
But a kid like Li Si probably wouldn't have the guts to do something as dangerous as stealing food.
"I, I didn't!" Li Sizhi waved his hand: "I have never been to a gambling house since my mother came back to life! The last time I passed by the gambling house, I asked my second brother to drag me away. I really
I won’t go into a gambling house again!”
"Then tell me the truth, did you steal other people's food?" Li Yi pressed.
"I don't even go to the gambling house, so why would I steal food? Besides! Our family eats rice, too! Do I need to steal it?"
As soon as she said this, Lin Tao's heart skipped a beat!
Isn't this because she saw her family eating white rice and was accused of stealing food? This chapter has been completed!
