Chapter 262: Harvesting at Night
Li An stood in front of Old Lady Li with his back to her. From his clenched fists, one could tell that his father was in agony and torn between kissing his beloved daughter on one side and stepmother on the other. Reason told him not to do it, but his nerves were on the verge of exploding.
I believe that if he doesn't ask for a cup of tea, Li An will raise his fist and teach Old Lady Li a lesson.
As for Wang, Li Rou and Li Qiao, they are at the bottom of the list at home.
In such an occasion, he naturally wanted to hide himself, otherwise if he was seen by Old Lady Li, he would definitely be punished.
The more Mrs. Li cursed, the happier she became, thinking about the setback she had suffered at the hands of Li Mengyue.
In front of Ang Lee, he cursed him with all kinds of vicious words.
Although Old Man Li was smoking, his attention was always on his second son, Li An.
He had been holding a grudge ever since the family split up, and wanted to take this opportunity to teach the second son a lesson, to let him know that he was still alive and could still control him.
But seeing that his second son's face was getting uglier and uglier, he was counting on his second son to take care of him in his old age and couldn't break his heart.
So Old Man Li spoke up and said to Old Lady Li, "That's enough, go back and have a rest, don't make trouble here."
"What? You said I was making trouble. Say it to me again."
Old Mrs. Li was cursing happily, wanting to curse out all the "grievances" she had suffered from Li Mengyue during this period.
Seeing that Li An wanted to hit him but didn't dare to do so, he felt very comfortable.
Little guy, I can't do anything to the little bitch, and I can't let my dick escape from my hand.
From the moment Mrs. Li planned to marry Li Gui, she had been thinking about living a good life.
But over the years, her life was only slightly better than that of ordinary people, and it was still far from the life of a rich lady she had imagined.
She finally saw her son Li Jian being admitted to high school, but it was ruined by Li Mengyue. How could she tolerate this?
It’s just that Li Mengyue is too cruel and has high fighting skills. She thinks she is no match for him, so she can only take it out on Li An.
"Old man, our Jian'er wants to travel and study under a master. If Li Mengyue hadn't intervened, you might have become an old man. Everyone in the village would have to bow and scrape to you. Even the county magistrate would have to curry favor with you. But now, Jian'er has gone somewhere, and you don't even know what kind of life we live every day."
Of course Old Man Li knew this and he also wanted to live a life of luxury.
But he also knew that before the third son Li Jian passed the exam, it would be better for their family to keep a low profile in the village.
Otherwise, if the third child fails the exam, they will offend all the villagers again and how will they live in the future.
Thinking of the changes that had taken place in the family since Li Mengyue came back, Old Man Li swallowed back the words that he wanted to scold Old Lady Li.
Forget it, let the old woman teach the second son a lesson, so that he won’t think that he doesn’t have to recognize his father anymore after the family is divided.
Old Mrs. Li has been with Li Gui for so many years that she knows everything about Old Man Li.
Seeing the old man put the pipe to his lips again and took a leisurely puff, it seemed to give her unlimited courage and she started cursing again.
"I have such a miserable life. I have an unfilial son at home who wants to beat me to death. How am I going to live in the future?"
"It's all Li Mengyue's fault. If it weren't for her, the second child wouldn't be so disobedient. God, why would you send down a thunderbolt to kill her?"
Li An couldn't do anything to Old Lady Li, so he turned and looked at Old Man Li.
"Dad, are you going to harvest the rice yet? If not, I'm going home."
Only then did Old Man Li frown slightly and look towards other people's rice fields, where crowds of people were bending over to harvest rice.
"Clap clap clap!"
He took a few deep puffs of his pipe before he made up his mind to speak.
"receive."
There was anxiety in his words.
"You can't collect it. I don't agree. We will lose a lot if we harvest the rice. Second brother, your family doesn't lack food. Not only do you want to give some to your parents, but you also want to cut off their escape route."
Li An ignored Mrs. Li and looked at Old Man Li instead.
"Second brother, you see, there will indeed be a lot of losses in harvesting rice."
Seeing that Li Gui listened to her and disagreed to harvest the rice, Old Lady Li raised her head and looked at Li An, like a victorious rooster.
Li Mengyue's eyes twitched as she listened to Mrs. Li's abuse. This old lady Li had a very strong vitality, like an indestructible cockroach.
As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, Old Mrs. Li started cursing again.
"Little bitch"
"That's enough. Don't think that I won't do anything to you just because you are my elder."
Ang Lee really couldn't stand anyone scolding his daughter, even if it was just her nominal stepmother.
How could Old Mrs. Li stand it? Li An, who had never dared to say a word in front of her before, was confronting her again and again.
He raised his hand and slapped Li Ang in the face.
Li An was ready to dodge before the slap came.
As a result, I saw that my stepmother's hand was blocked.
Li An said happily: "Daughter, why are you here!"
"Dad, Mom asked me to ask you to go back for dinner."
"Oh, okay, let's go now."
When Li An saw Li Mengyue, all he could think about was his daughter, and he couldn't see anyone else.
The daughter told him to go home for dinner, but he turned around and left without even thinking.
Not to mention Old Mrs. Li, even Old Man Li was dumbfounded.
"Second brother, you..."
Old Mrs. Li wanted to say something, but Li Mengyue looked at her with cold eyes, as if even the air froze.
Old Mrs. Li felt the biting chill pass through her pupils and reach directly into her heart.
"what?"
"No, nothing, I didn't want to say anything, yes, I just didn't want to say anything."
Old Mrs. Li waved her hands and stepped back.
Li Mengyue didn't want to teach Old Lady Li a lesson in front of Li An.
Seeing that the other party was very cowardly, he glanced at Old Man Li and the rice that had not been harvested much, and went home with his father.
Old man Li didn't want to harvest the rice in the first place. When Li An was called away by Li Mengyue, he also prepared to go back to sleep.
*
Late at night, everything is silent.
Of the eight villages under Qingshan Town, except Zhulin Village, the other seven villages are under the silvery moonlight.
Whether children or adults, everyone stayed up all night, shuttling back and forth in the fields.
Some people were harvesting rice, while others were loading it onto trucks to transport it home.
Due to the special circumstances, Li Mengyue had long ago contributed her family's ox cart and mule to help the villagers collect grain.
All the villagers in Xinghua Village were united as never before, just to get the rice home as soon as possible.
After a busy day, everyone was exhausted.
But there was still a lot of rice in the field that had not been harvested, so he could only drag his tired body, bend over and continue repeating the same action.
"Li De, take a break and drink some herbal tea."
"Okay, I'm thirsty."
Li De, who was harvesting rice, stopped temporarily when he heard Li An calling him, took the bowl and drank.
"Gu dong gu dong."
When the herbal tea goes down the throat, a cool feeling spreads from the depths of the mouth and slowly diffuses to the entire chest cavity. The hot feeling in the body is instantly taken away, and breathing becomes smoother.
It was as if all the fatigue from working in the fields all day was relieved in an instant.
And the slight bitter taste left on the tip of the tongue makes the spirit fuller.
"Where's the herbal tea?"
