The spectators also dispersed. Chen Yaohui walked up to Li Yu, handed the money and the marriage certificate to Li Yu, and said, Xiaoyu, put the money away first. Uncle will go home and bring two hoes. You This yard needs to be repaired before people can live in it.

Li Yu took the silver and Geng Tie, tore up the marriage certificate, pulled Li Qing and bowed and said, Uncle Chen, Aunt Li, thank you.

Li Mei also came over and bowed to Chen Yaohui and his wife, saying: Brother Yaohui, brothers and sisters, thank you for bringing me the letter.

Chen Yaohui waved his hands and smiled heartily, Thank you for what? I just brought a letter!

Sister, luckily you're here. This brother is really nothing. Mrs. Chen Li looked at Li Mei and said with a smile.

Li Mei looked at Li Yu and her brother, and smiled at Chen Yaohui and his wife: It's all thanks to your generous help, otherwise those things would have been in full swing. Look, there are many people watching here today who have accepted Ah Shan's advice. Only you and your wife stepped forward to help. I would like to thank you on behalf of Ashan.

Li Mei's husband Liu Changmin came over and said to Li Mei: Amei, let's repair the house for Yu'er and her brother first. Where can we stay if it gets late?

Yes, let's go back and get a few things first. Chen Yaohui led Chen Li towards home.

Along the way, Mrs. Chen Li looked at Chen Yaohui worriedly, Ah Hui, won't dad scold us when we get back later?

Ignore him, the Zhang family treats people like this and he still speaks for their family. Isn't it because Zhang Guisheng has passed the scholar examination and is afraid that he will retaliate against us when he becomes successful in the future? But you have to be conscientious! There is still a long way to go!

If you ask me, your stepmother is the one who instigated this, I don't understand. She has given birth to two daughters. Is it possible that she doesn't want us to support her in her old age in the future?

The couple talked and walked towards Chen's house in the center of the village.

Li Mei looked at Li Yu and her brother, and then at the dilapidated yard, and couldn't help but get red-eyed: How well-kept the yard was when her brothers and sisters were alive! In just a few years, it fell into disrepair.

Li Mei wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and asked Li Yu: Yu'er, Ah Qing, why don't you go home with your aunt and stay at her house for a while, and then come back when the house is repaired?

When Liu Changmin heard this, he became anxious and said, Amei, let's go back and discuss it with mother first and then pick up Ah Qing and the others, is that okay?

Li Mei thought of her arrogant and unreasonable mother-in-law, and then looked at her nephews and nieces, who were sallow and skinny, and immediately became angry. She pointed at Liu Changmin and complained: It's all your fault. You are so cowardly and incompetent. You listen to your mother-in-law, otherwise Ah Shan will entrust the child to Is Zhang Defa that bastard?

Amei, but mother, alas! I can't do anything to her! Liu Changmin stamped his feet, turned around and entered the yard to start working.

Li Yu now understood a little bit why Li's father entrusted the younger brother and sister Li Yu to Zhang Defa. It turned out that there was an evil mother-in-law in his aunt's family.

Li Yu said to Li Mei: Aunt, we will live at home and not go anywhere. I plan to ask someone to repair the house and settle down first.

Li Mei's heartbroken sister and brother Li Yu burst into tears, My aunt used to tell you to live at home instead of Zhang's house, just because she was afraid that you would suffer a loss. Now I know it's not too late to turn back. Now that you have the money to buy some things, your life will be better. It’s better.”

Li Yu smiled and comforted Li Mei, Well, aunt, don't worry we will be fine. Don't quarrel with your uncle after you go back.

Li Mei glanced at Liu Changmin who was busy in the yard with disappointment, Don't worry about him, just let him go back alone. I'll help you here for a few days. Li Mei took out a red bean cake from her back and handed it to him. Siblings, Eat some of this first to cushion your stomach.

Li Qing took the red bean cake and took out a piece, then handed a piece to Li Mei and Li Yu, Aunt, sister, you all eat.

Li Yu looked at the mud on his hands and the mud on Li Qing's hands, Ah Qing, let's wash our hands first before eating.

Li Mei put the red bean cake in her hand into Li Yu's mouth, What are you afraid of? As the old saying goes, you won't get sick if you don't eat it cleanly.

Li Yu was stunned for a moment. Li Qing covered his mouth, looked at Li Yu and chuckled, and said to Li Mei, Aunt, will you be able to cook the rice and vegetables directly without washing them in the future?

Jianzui, you two have a rest while your aunt goes to help your uncle with the work. Li Mei said as she walked into the yard, picked up the weeds and piled them outside the Taoist wall and spread them out to dry.

Li Yu swallowed the red bean cake with difficulty, remembering that the house deeds, land deeds and household registration of the Li family were still hidden in the firewood shed at home.

Li Yu walked into the woodshed and saw several holes in the roof. Following his memory, he went to the foot of the left wall. He dug through the soil and found a hole under the corner with a small clay pot in the hole.

Li Yu reached out and took out something wrapped in oilcloth from the clay pot. When he opened it, he saw that it contained the land deed that Chen Zhaodi wanted so much, as well as a bunch of keys, a jade gourd pendant, and the household registration and house deed of the Li family.

Li Yu saw that the land deed stated two acres of fertile land. The deed also stated the location of the house. The house site was two acres in size. On the household registration, only Li Yu and Li Qing were left. Li Qing was listed as the head of the household.

Li Yu put the pendant, house deed, title deed and household registration back in the oil cloth and wrapped them up, then took them to the yard and hid them with the bamboo basket and the silver.

After hiding it, he took the key and went outside the courtyard. Li Yu opened the courtyard door, went back and took a piece of silver and stuffed it into Li Mei's hand. Aunt, I'll clean up the kitchen first. You can go find an acquaintance to buy some for us. Rice and millet are back.”

Li Mei looked at the money in her hand, thinking that her purse was empty, and secretly complaining that she had no money to buy some food for her children. Li Mei took the money and nodded to Li Yu, then turned and walked towards the village.

Li Yu walked to the door of the hall with the bamboo pole on his back. When he opened the door, he saw nothing inside.

Li Yu entered the main room, opened the bedroom doors on both sides, stood at the door and looked into the room. There was only an empty canopy bed and a room full of spider webs, plus broken window paper, a bit like in a movie Horror movie scene.

Li Yu put the bamboo basket into the bedroom, went out and locked the door, and walked towards the kitchen. When he arrived at the kitchen, he was dumbfounded. There were only two holes in the stove, the pot was gone, and there were only two holes in the stove. Next was a water vat, a low wooden table and some old bamboo stools.

Li Yu thought to himself: He has to go to the town to buy two pots, some beddings, and utensils.

Li Yu went back to the bedroom and took out some money. He gave the key to Li Qing in the courtyard and whispered to Li Qing, Ah Qing, sister went to the town to buy pots, pans and oil. You can watch her at home. The money was left in the house.”

I understand, sister, please be careful on the road.

Got it! Li Yu and Liu Changmin said hello and hurriedly walked towards the town.

After Chen Yaohui and his wife returned home, they took two hoes, Luo Zhen and Ruizhen and planned to go to Li's house to help. The village head Chen Changzong stopped him and said: You are going to run away if you don't work. You don't know where to go.

Chen Yaohui looked at him nonchalantly and said, We are just here to work. Are you still not satisfied? After saying that, he picked up the basket and left.

Chen Changzong looked at the couple's backs, sighed and went back to the house with his hands behind his back.

As soon as Li Yu reached the corner, he met Chen Yaohui and his wife. Li looked at Li Yu and said with a smile, Xiaoyu, what are you doing in such a hurry?

Auntie, I don't have a pot on the stove at home. I'm going to the town to buy two pots and some soy sauce, vinegar and so on.

Oh, then be careful and come back soon.

Li Yu thought of the leaky roof, stopped, turned around and called Chen Yaohui, Uncle, is there anyone in the village who can repair houses?

Yes, I'll call a few for you to repair the walls of the kitchen and woodshed while it's still early.

Okay, then I'll leave it to you. Tell everyone that my family doesn't provide food, so you can help me pay for it!

Okay, go quickly! The market has already dispersed by now.
