Li Tannian looked at his handsome face, and thought about his current honor, and could not help but feel grateful for the unfairness of the Creator.
"Mom, you're back! Why do you keep staring at daddy?"
When Erbao and Xiaosibao found out that Li Tannian was back, they almost jumped up and ran towards her.
Li Tannian coughed dryly and met Lu Zhi's calm eyes with embarrassment.
"Come back?" He asked lightly, and twitched the corner of his mouth towards her in a pretentious manner.
Li Tannian looked at his forced smile and secretly thought 'Hypocrisy'.
"Why did you come out?"
"Come out and bask in the sun."
After a short and polite conversation ended, Li Tannian calmly carried Sheep and Xiezi back to the stove. Lu Zhi lowered his head and continued to knit straw sandals.
The third child only looked at Li Tannian and then at Lu Zhi. Why did they feel that their father and mother were weird? It seemed that their relationship had become closer, but at the same time it seemed that nothing had changed.
Under the vigorous publicity of Patriarch Lu, the news that Li Tannian wanted to collect eels spread quickly throughout the village.
Although some people still don't believe that eels can be sold at such a high price, everyone is a little excited when they think of the opportunity to make money by doing it.
So, throughout the afternoon, people in the village went to Li Tannian's house one after another, wanting to confirm this matter with her personally.
Li Tannian nodded, and just as he gave a positive answer, he heard a burst of crying.
Li Tannian and everyone looked outside the sound and saw Sifeng chasing Xiao Taohong.
Xiao Taohong held her head and shrank her neck, hiding all the way, but was still beaten by Sifeng and had nowhere to hide.
"Why does Aunt Sifeng hit someone again?" Sanya muttered quietly.
Everyone was silent, watching Sifeng comparing how hard he hit her. They couldn't stand it any longer, so they all went out to stop him.
"Sifeng, what are you doing?" someone said first.
"It's none of your business, don't meddle in other people's business!" Sifeng snorted, grabbing the back of Xiao Taohong's neck and wanting to slap her ears.
However, before the ear scraper could be applied, Li Tannian grabbed his hand.
"Let go!" Sifeng roared, and when he turned his head, he saw Li Tannian's cold face.
"Why are you hitting someone?" Li Tannian glanced at Xiao Taohong and saw that the little girl's face, which was originally a bit cute, was now covered with snot and tears, and she looked extremely frightened!
Look, he looks so pitiful.
"She was disobedient, so I beat her!" Sifeng knew that Li Tannian could not be offended now. Even if she stopped her, she would feel dissatisfied, but she was restrained in her words.
Li Tannian raised his eyebrows, looked at Xiao Taohong and said, "Why did she hit you?"
Xiao Taohong sniffed and cried sadly: "I couldn't catch eels. My sister-in-law said that others caught many."
"Damn girl, you are so stubborn. You eat and drink from me all day long. If you don't do the work, who will do the work? You still make excuses for asking you to do some work. You are such a young lady! How can I deal with such a little kid like you?
Ancestor?"
Sifeng frowned and shouted at Xiao Taohong, and wanted to withdraw her hand and continue beating her, but Li Tannian held her hand tightly and refused to let go.
Realizing that Xiao Taohong would be beaten because of himself, Li Tannian felt guilty. He stretched out his hand and took Xiao Taohong's hand, and walked back to his home.
Seeing this, Sifeng cursed angrily: "Xiao Taohong, you are such a cheap girl, do you still have my sister-in-law in your eyes? Do you really think that someone can protect you? If you want to leave, just leave.
Don’t come back.”
Xiao Taohong trembled, stopped abruptly, and shook her head at Li Tannian: "Sister Nian, I'm sorry."
After saying that, she returned to Sifeng in a polite manner.
Sifeng smiled coldly, pointed at Xiao Taohong's nose, and cursed again.
After a long time, someone in the crowd finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Sifeng, please stop saying a few words. Xiao Taohong works very hard for you on weekdays. It's already very difficult for her. She doesn't know how to catch her.
Just teach her, why are you forcing the little girl to be like this?"
"Yes, yes, their parents died early, and now there are only two siblings left. Her eldest brother is not at home, so don't bully her anymore."
"I bullied her, how did I bully her! She was at home eating and drinking for free all day long, what happened if I asked her to do some work? If you think she is good, then you take her to your house and eat and drink for free.
, shut up like crazy."
The villagers smiled awkwardly.
Li Tannian frowned at this scene: "No need to catch them, I won't accept your eels."
"Hey, what do you mean? What do you mean you won't accept my eels? I didn't intentionally wrong you about Tiankan, so what else do you want? Li Tannian, you're just targeting me."
Li Tannian glanced at Sifeng and said arrogantly: "Maybe." Then, she went straight back to the courtyard.
"It's not Li Tannian, what do you mean?" Sifeng wanted to catch up again, but was stopped by the villagers again.
"Okay, Sifeng, just stop saying a few words. Lu Zhi's wife is very angry. Let's take Xiao Taohong in and talk softly to her. You can just bring it to her tomorrow, and that's it.
"
Sifeng thought about it and thought it was feasible.
Anyway, she is not asked to apologize. As long as Xiao Taohong can earn her money back, isn't that enough?
Sifeng thought about it and didn't say much. She pulled Xiao Taohong's ear and shouted: "Go in and learn hard, do you hear me? If you can't learn, see how I deal with you!"
Xiao Taohong nodded, and everyone looked at Xiao Taohong with some pity in their eyes.
Sifeng's voice was very penetrating, and Li Tannian in the room heard it clearly. When she saw Xiao Taohong, her head hanging down, timidly following the villagers back, she couldn't help but frown.
"I can teach you how to catch eels, but the money you get from selling eels cannot be given to others."
Everyone knows that Li Tannian said this to Xiao Taohong.
Everyone's expressions were touched, Lu Zhi's wife is so kind, she always thinks about Xiao Taohong!
"Sister Nian, you are so kind." Xiao Tao's eyes turned red.
Li Tannian didn't talk much. Teaching one person is teaching, and teaching a group of people is teaching. She asked everyone to come together and said: "You have to catch eels at night. It's best to catch them with a torch."
·······”
People in the village didn't eat eels, and even if they went to catch them, they would just reach out and touch them in the mud. When they heard that the eels would come out of their holes by themselves at night with a torch, everyone was surprised.
Later, more and more people came to seek Buddhist scriptures, one after another. Everyone listened attentively and carefully. It was not until it was getting dark that they thanked Li Tannian and left.
At this moment, Lu Zhi had already finished knitting straw sandals and returned to the east room.
He heard clearly what was going on outside, and when Li Tannian came into the house to change his dressing, he asked: "Are you really going to collect the eels?"
"Yes, there are people in town who want to collect. The demand is too great. I can't handle it alone, so I just brought everyone together to make money."
Lu Zhi glanced at her in surprise and saw Sanya pouting: "Mom, why don't we make money ourselves? Why do we have to ask others to make this money?"
After Sanya finished speaking, Erbao and Xiaosibao looked at Li Tannian at the same time, with confusion on their small faces.
"Because we are too busy. If you go out with me to catch eels every day, you will have to sleep late every day. You guys are growing, so you can't do this."
After Li Tannian finished speaking, he pinched Sanya's cheek again: "What's more, have you forgotten what my mother told you yesterday?"
"I know, I know, mother said, be willing to help others!" Erbao said proudly.
Li Tannian patted Erbao's head with approval: "Yes, you are right, you must be willing to help others. Mom has helped the people in the village. In the future, if anything happens to our family, the people in the village will also help us."
The three little cubs nodded thoughtfully.
Lu Zhi's throat moved slightly, and he took a deep look at Li Tannian. Although the woman in front of him was still covered in acne, her almond-shaped eyes were clearly full of light.
I have to say that she has a pair of very beautiful eyes. If she didn't have such a face, her eyes would be easily attractive.
