Men and women eating in the courtyard

Chapter 114 Upholding a Public Mind (Additional Updates for Starry Moment Youthful Rewards)

Li Xuewu's words made Xu's father's face turn pale instantly, but Li Xuewu's next words were even more unpleasant.

"I'm so particular, please don't hurt me. If I had known today, why would I do it in the first place? I don't believe Lou Xiao'e didn't go to your house and tell you about Xu Damao. Even the children in this courtyard know what Xu Damao is. You are pretending to be like me." Stupid?"

It's hard to hear what you say if you break your heart, but it won't matter if you don't say it, for fear that the Xu family will spread anger on their own family.

Li Xuewu closed the box with his hand and pushed it back, saying: "As I said before, it was the three uncles who, together with all the men, women and children in the hospital, sent Xu Damao to my place. If I accepted it, it would be a job. If I didn't, it would be dereliction of duty." , you don’t understand me, do you?”

Seeing Xu's mother holding Liu Yin's hand, looking at Li Shun and others with pleading eyes, Xu's father was a little hunched over.

"Do you understand what I mean? If he hasn't done it, no one can bury him. It's getting dark. Go back slowly. I won't keep you."

Xu's father clenched his hand on the box and said to Xu's mother: "Let's go!" He picked up the box and pulled Xu's mother out of the house. He walked out of the door and left without looking back.

Lou Xiao'e was slapped by Xu Damao's mother in the afternoon. The guilt and fear in her heart made her coerced by the two elders to come to Li's house.

After seeing the things in the box, the last bit of pity in my heart disappeared, leaving only grievance, and I buried my head on the table and cried.

Liu Yin persuaded Xu's mother to leave and then came to persuade Lou Xiao'e. Li Shun was so angry that he glared at Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu didn't want to disturb his family any more, so he knocked on the table and said, "Stop crying, Sister Lou, please come out and I'll tell you something."

After saying that, he took the lead in opening the door and went out.

After waiting for a while, Lou Xiao'e followed out the door with tears in her eyes, walked to Li Xuewu and stopped in front of him.

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e was not in a good mental state, I didn't know how the old couple communicated with Lou Xiao'e.

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Xuewu said: "Xu Damao has already recruited, there are a lot of people, and the facts have been confirmed. I suggest you make plans early. I guess you won't be able to come back, so I don't recommend you to do stupid things again. Don’t expose those gold and silver treasures anymore. They are not life-buying money, they are life-giving talismans. If he is not dead, you will continue to mess around."

Li Xuewu hasn't figured out how to deal with Xu Damao yet, but he can't let the Xu family and Lou Xiao'e cause trouble for him.

Li Xuewu thought it was Lou Xiao'e who brought out the things to help the Xu family, because only the Lou family had this strength.

Lou Xiao'e wiped her tears and said: "I can't do it. He brought it upon himself. I will live in this courtyard. If I don't leave, I will watch how he dies."

Li Xuewu sighed. A husband and wife are kind to each other for a hundred days, and a couple is as deep as the ocean for a hundred days.

If the love is not deeply hurt, why are you crying so sadly?

I didn’t want to worry about this kind of thing, it was too complicated and could easily affect my mind, so I just said take care and went back to the house.

Everyone in the room stared at him with wide eyes.

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and said: "This is the last time I will bring my work home, and I won't do it again."

Li Shun was both pleased and frightened by his son's behavior. He sighed and said, "It's good that you know. You must uphold your public conscience and don't lose yourself."

Liu Yin took Li Shun's arm and asked him to go to sleep.

"What are you talking nonsense about, you lousy old man? You don't even need a big box of martial arts training. What else are you thinking of? I'm confused."

Li Xuecai and Li Xue also came back from the South Room to rest.

Today's events had a great impact on everyone in the Li family.

In the afternoon, when Qin Huairu came over to help with cooking, she told her about Li Xuewu's new appointment. The family members were all surprised. Qin Huairu also talked about what Li Xuewu had done in the steel rolling mill, and the family members' understanding of Li Xuewu was overturned.

This late at night, I saw the Xu family come to beg for mercy, and there was another box of gold, silver and jewelry. Only then did I realize how important Li Xuewu's work was and how powerful his authority was.

Li Shun told him not to speak outside and went to the kang to rest.

Li Xuewu was about to take a bucket to fetch warm water to drink for the horse. His eldest grandma came out and pointed at the covered pot and said: "The water is warmed for you. You go to mix the forage first, and I will scoop the water for you."

Li Xuewu agreed, scooped out a ladle of bean cakes that had been soaking in the house, and carried a small half bucket of warm water in the bucket to mix the forage.

The eldest grandma scooped out a bucket of water and put it outside the stable, waiting for the horse to finish eating the fodder before drinking.

"Did you feed at noon today?"

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Hey, the feed bags are all empty. Where did our feed come from?"

The eldest grandma gestured towards the eldest brother Xuewen's house and said: "Your eldest brother's father-in-law sent it to you. Didn't he hear that I was coming? He also raised horses and rode in the mountains for more than ten days before the autumn harvest. He dried the grass and brought it to us to use as a carriage in the team, and your dad also provided me with a meal of wine."

"Where did the bean cake come from? Is it sent from there?"

"No, your dad bought it for 5 yuan. I don't know where I got it."

Li Xuewu loved chatting with his eldest grandma. Her eldest grandma was very funny and kind to him.

"It won't work this year. Next autumn we will find time to go into the mountains and shoot green grass. I will help you dig a green storage pond in the west courtyard. This big green horse will be able to eat green food next year."

"It's a good relationship, do you remember? We also dug cellars in our hometown, but there is no place here."

The big green horse seemed to know what the two of them were talking about, shaking its head and wagging its tail.

After the horse had finished eating the fodder and drank two and a half buckets of warm water, the father and son returned to the house to rest.

Li Xuewu entered the house to see the child, but was slapped by Liu Yin.

"Take off your clothes first. There is cold air on your body. What should I do if the child catches a cold?"

Seeing Li Shun staring at him, Li Xuewu went to wash up.

Since the child came back, the old lady helped take care of him during the day, and Liu Yin slept with her arms at night, so Li Xuewu never had to worry about him.

Li Shun, in particular, was in a good mood after coaxing his granddaughter over the past two days. I wonder if it was to give his granddaughter face and stop losing his temper with Li Xuewu.

After washing, I kissed my daughter's little hand and went to sleep on the Western Kang.

It wasn't just the Li family who slept late that night.

When Li Xuewu got up early the next morning, the workers who were repairing the house had already entered the scene.

Master Dou brought people over early to build window frames and door frames, dig foundations, and prepare to build the walls of the west courtyard and north library. Several people were digging sewage wells and water pipe trenches.

Li Xuewu put a pack of 8-cent production cigarettes into the room and asked Master Dou: "How is it? Is yesterday's food okay?"

Master Dou thanked Li Xuewu for the cigarette and said with a smile: "Okay, that's great. There's pork in the duck rack and cabbage. Among these customers, our house is considered high in oil and water. Don't worry, brothers know it well." "Son, I'll see if I can borrow a small excavator this afternoon. My load is from the construction team in the district. If there is no work in winter, you can borrow it for a fee."

"Okay, if you need to talk to me, remember to tell me, we have an official seal here."

Seeing that the workers were very enthusiastic, I stopped wasting time, got on my bicycle and went to work. My grandma was watching at home, so there was no need to worry.

I rode to the unit to tidy up, watched the escort team perform exercises, went to the detention room to ask about the situation, and then went upstairs.

After a while, Master Xiao arrived with Hu Guimin and the director of the workshop. It seemed that they were squeezing in time.

Will update normally at noon tomorrow~
