Chapter 196 The Satisfied Xu Qingrong Family
However, most of the family's money was used to stockpile supplies, and there was very little silver left. They dared not spend it recklessly, so they had to buy some old clothes to get by first.
But they were all very happy today. Facing the compliments and thanks from the women of Xujia Village, Xu Linzhi's family smiled particularly sincerely.
Lin sat under the eaves of the neighboring house for a long time with the half-made cotton shoes in her hand, until it gradually darkened and Li Xiao, who had just returned home from work, came to find her.
"Mom, I'm back."
Li Xiao called out to Lin and then said hello to the lady next door.
"Hello, aunt."
When he came over just now, he glanced at Lao Xu's house and saw so many people gathered there. He knew why his mother didn't go home so late and stayed here.
"Hey, Li family kid, you are so busy, I finally see you today. Your brother Tiedan was still talking about you yesterday, I don't know where you have been working these days."
Seeing Li Xiao coming, the lady next door's face lit up with joy. She quickly stood up, pulled his sleeve and asked him to sit down. She was very enthusiastic.
"I have been traveling quite far with my master recently, so I have been leaving early and coming back late. Thank you for often accompanying my mother and talking to her."
Li Xiao sat down and exchanged a glance with his mother Lin. He immediately understood why the lady was so enthusiastic today.
"Auntie, my brother Tiedan is still moving stones outside the city?"
Tiedan is one of Li Xiao’s best friends. They grew up together and used to move stones together outside the city. It has been a while since he last saw each other because he followed Boss Yang around recently.
"Well, you know your brother Tiedan. He doesn't have any special abilities. Apart from using brute force, there's nothing else he can do..."
The old lady sighed. Although her son Tiedan was big and strong, he was not as smart as other children since he was young and was often bullied. If it weren't for Li Xiao and several other playmates protecting him, who knows how he would have been bullied.
Li Xiao also knew his friend Tiedan. Thinking of the opportunity he had obtained from the Xu family, he also wanted to help his friends if he had the chance.
He had this idea in mind for a long time, but Boss Yang was very busy every day, and he was new here and had not made friends with anyone, so it was not easy for him to inquire about these things.
Anyway, the popularity of building kangs has been increasing recently. Many of those who learned how to do it before have been sent out of the city or to the north. Only the people like Yang Lao Da from Xujia Village have stayed in the city to work. He followed his master, so he got the advantage and didn't have to run so far.
Li Xiao thought about testing his master's attitude tomorrow. If he still wanted the person, he would bring the person over. If he really didn't want the person, he would think of other ways.
"Li Xiao! Are you here to see me?"
At this moment, a surprised voice came from a distance. It was Tiedan, whom everyone had been talking about just now.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. You've grown taller and fatter. If you continue like this, you'll almost be as tall as me..."
There was some fatigue on Tiedan's dark face, but facing Li Xiao, his good friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he was still happy to pull him around twice, muttering to himself non-stop.
"I wish I could have the same good luck as your kid. Even if I die, I can close my eyes peacefully..."
Looking at the two teenagers laughing and giggling, the lady next door's eyes reddened and she whispered to Lin.
Because Lin had said before that Li Xiao had received help from a noble person, so he was arranged a job to fill his stomach, which made several of his good friends the aunts very envious.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Tiedan is a down-to-earth child. Just relax and wait for the blessings to come."
Lin was also a mother, so she naturally understood what the neighbor was thinking. She quickly smiled and said a few words to comfort her.
Actually, Tiedan's family was not much different from hers, except that Tiedan's father was still alive. He disliked Tiedan's mother for being ugly and Tiedan had been a little silly since he was a child, so he listened to his mother and drove the mother and son out of the house.
The aunt next door has used all her strength over the years to raise Tiedan to this size, it is not easy.
While talking and chatting with the old lady, Lin pricked up her ears to listen to the movements of Old Xu's family.
In addition, Li Xiao and Tiedan had not seen each other for a long time, so naturally they had a lot to talk about. The two of them staying here made it impossible for people to notice anything unusual.
As it was getting dark, Xu Qingrong and his family finally left the old Xu's house contentedly, followed by the smiling people of Xujia Village.
"Xu family, is there something good going on? Why are you so happy?"
"Hahaha... It's nothing, it's just that we rarely see each other, so we had a good chat..."
Someone stretched his neck to ask a question, but Gao just laughed it off, so no one asked any more questions.
Seeing that they could no longer see anything, Li Xiao and Lin also stood up and said goodbye.
There is a curfew in the capital at night, but Li Xiao thought that there was still some time left, so it would be no problem to go and come back quickly, so he ran out the door quickly.
By the time Zhang Dazhui came to Xu Qinghe and told him the news, Li Xiao had already run away and returned home.
"The Xu Qingrong family is the most cunning. If there is any good thing, would they think of the people in Xujia Village?"
Cui questioned, and Yuxiu nodded.
The heroine's family in the original book is a typical example of selfishness.
"No matter how they do it, it's none of our business. We just need to follow behind and watch the fun."
As a man, Xu Qinghe had dealt with Xu Qingrong many times in his early years and suffered a lot at his hands.
There's nothing we can do about it. He's the head of the village, and in the village, he's like a local tyrant.
Uncle Cui and his two sons have returned to live in their own courtyard, leaving Old Mrs. Cui here to accompany Cui.
"We live in the same village, and we are all related. We all came from the same ancestors, so it is only natural for us to take care of each other if we have any problems."
Old Mrs. Cui also knew something about the affairs of Xujia Village. Their Cuijia Village was only separated from Xujia Village by a hill, but the customs of the two villages were completely different.
"Fortunately, your family has severed ties with those people. Otherwise, if they had come to haunt you, it would have been a real headache for you."
The old lady sighed. She didn't know the mystery of Xu Qinghe's life experience yet. She just felt fortunate to have her daughter and her family escaped from such a den of wolves in the village.
