Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 74 Then what if I refuse to accept this fate?
Chapter 74 Then what if I refuse to accept this fate?
On the way home, because Li Yi stood in the sun for too long, he saw eight double images in everything, and even swayed left and right when walking.
Let alone asking him to walk faster, even asking him to walk in a straight line is probably impossible.
Li Si kept urging: "Brother, hurry up!"
"Three, three, you, please carry me on your back." Li could hardly breathe.
If he hadn't been holding the bull by the horns, he would have fallen to the ground, let alone walked away.
Unable to wait for Li San to respond, Li Yi turned his eyes to Li Er for help again.
Li Er was so frightened that he trotted over Lao Si.
"Mom, can I take the cow and bring my eldest brother back?" Li San asked.
"Why are you humping him? If he can't walk, it means he hasn't walked enough! If he can't go back on his own, that's his own business."
Li Yi, who had been thrown away once, gritted his teeth, held on to the horns of the bull with both hands and walked forward.
He doesn’t want to be left behind again! He wants to go home! He must go home!
In the end, Li Yi's mind was filled with these few words that he kept repeating.
Because the road in front was blocked, they had to go around the back mountain just like when they came.
On the back hill, you can see the busy courtyard of the Li family.
Before they even came down from the mountain, Lin Tao sent four silly boys to go up the mountain and carry more reeds back together.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yidong fainted and fell to the ground.
If Li Si next to him hadn't reacted quickly and pulled the person away, he would have reached the bottom of the mountain.
"I'll hump him back, you three go ahead." Lin Tao put Li Yi on the back of the ox and walked down the mountain.
As soon as they entered the house, the two little ones who were soaking tartary buckwheat seeds immediately pounced on them.
"Uncle, uncle?" Xiao Li Qian was startled.
"It's okay, I'm tired. Everyone, please carry your man back to the house."
Zhu took the man and the cow away together.
Lin Tao put down the basket on her back, and the two little ones came around and kept saying "wow".
When the little girl got excited, she kept gesticulating with her hands.
Mrs. Xu, who was busy grinding tartary buckwheat noodles, reminded her several times with a smile: "I have told you so many times that you should use your mouth to speak more."
"Okay, don't talk about her all the time. Once a habit is formed, it will take some time to change it."
Seeing that the smile on Xiao Linglan's face had disappeared, Lin Tao held her in her arms and said, "How about Lan Lan teaches grandma your sign language? How about this? When Lan Lan was so anxious that she couldn't speak.
, Grandma already knows what Lan Lan wants to say."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Linglan shook her head and said, "No, Lanlan will change."
"Okay! Lanlan must work hard!"
Putting down Xiao Linglan, Lin Tao poured out all the fish in the basket.
The old lady who had just come out of the stove was dumbfounded.
Point to the fish and ask: "Here, where did this fish come from?"
"I bought it! Where else could I get it?"
"Taozi, you can't do this if you have money!" For people like the old lady, money must be saved.
But here in Lin Tao, money is definitely not something that can be saved.
"Mom! After saving money and losing health, why don't all the money saved in the end go to the medical clinic? So, our food needs to be improved."
"Ouch! Oh my ancestors! The food we have now is not good enough for you. Don't you even look at how many people in the village still eat one meal without another? If you eat dry food every time, you
Not satisfied yet?"
Lin Tao stabbed the fish's belly with a dagger and said, "Why don't you compare it to Mr. Bili's house, where they eat white rice all year round? And the stir-fried vegetables with cooked pork smell good and taste even better! Take a look at his house
From the oldest to the youngest, you have a strong body! How good it is to not go to the hospital or take medicine all year round!"
"Okay, how can you compare yourself to a real gentleman? I am a person who receives royal rations, what do you have? Tao Zi, we are born to be poor. You have to accept these hard days, and you have to accept them if you don't! Today there is
Two cents is enough to compete with others for food. Tomorrow you will have two cents for competing with others for clothing. Then after you spend all the money, aren't you still a pauper who can't even have enough to eat?"
Lin Tao smiled and said, "Mom, what if I don't accept this fate? Others can be rich and eat rice and meat every day, but I, Lin Tao, can do the same."
The old lady suddenly stopped talking and just stared at her.
Lin Tao almost thought there was something on her face.
"I think our Taozi can really do it!" The old man came from the stove with a big wooden spoon and said: "I don't believe it when others say they don't accept their fate. But I believe what Taozi said!"
"I still remember when Taozi married into our family, she said she would work hard to live a decent life. Look at today, Taozi has done what she said!"
The silent old lady pushed the old man back to the stove shed.
Lin Tao handed the work in hand to Mrs. Zhu, carried the basket containing the money, and returned to the main room.
He squatted on the corner of the kang, dug up the soil on the surface, and took out a cloth bag.
The tartary buckwheat noodles they brought today weighed about 200 kilograms, or about 133 liters.
Excluding the ten liters given away and the ten liters used in exchange for fish, the remaining 110 liters were sold.
Twenty cents per liter means a total of 2,200 cents.
No wonder the basket is heavy.
Take a straw rope and string it with a thousand pieces. A thousand coins can be exchanged for one tael of silver.
Including the remaining one or two and seven hundred and seventy-eight articles.
There are three liang and seven hundred and seventy-eight articles in total.
Lin Tao smiled and scratched her head, then looked at her hands and saw that not a single hair had fallen out.
You see, if you have money, you can keep your hair.
Just when she was happy, she heard the old lady's scream in the yard. Lin Tao quickly collected the money and rushed out.
Outside the courtyard gate, a large family stood there.
"What happened?"
"Taozi, come quickly! Look!" The old lady pulled her forward and pointed to the thorn wall built by the villagers not far ahead.
The thorn wall keeps moving, and you can tell at a glance that someone is demolishing it over there.
Listening to the voice, it seems there is more than one.
That's not right! Now that it's been built, they should be ready to fight.
What made the village chief change his mind?
Recalling what happened on this day, Lin Tao's memory was fixed on the few villagers she met on the road when she went to town in the morning.
Lin Tao quickly turned around and closed the door to her courtyard.
In a short time, the wall of thorns was torn down.
The village chief led a group of villagers and stood over there.
After a long while, the village chief said: "Ms. Lin, let's sit down and have a good talk!"
Lin Tao didn't say anything, and Li Zhengye took over the words: "Living in a village, we have to talk about the big conflicts before they can be settled! Come on, go to my yard, sit down and talk slowly."
"No! Taozi can't go!" The old lady grabbed Lin Tao's hand.
"Yes! Whatever you want to talk about, I'll talk to you! My daughter-in-law is a woman, and there's nothing we can discuss with you guys!"
Mr. Li Zheng waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother Li, don't get me wrong. After all, I'm here right now, and I can't let anything happen to Lin!"
At the right time, the three brothers who had gone up the mountain to carry reeds came back.
Li San took the lead and threw the reed on the ground and began to roll up his sleeves.
Here, rolling up your sleeves is a signal that there is either hard work to do or a fight.
Li Si lost the reed and ran to his courtyard.
Li Eryi turned around and followed him. This chapter has been completed!
