Chapter 126 126. Zhao Xiaoya asks for help 17
Of course Li Dashi knows how he survived. He survived by eating from hundreds of families and working as a worker for hundreds of families.
It’s just that when he was still a child, the two adobe houses at home were sold to others by his mother, and she took the money from selling the house and land to remarry.
It’s the tribesmen in the village. You give them a little today, and they give you some tomorrow, and let them huddle on the kang in winter, so they survive day by day.
“You people in Lijia Village were bullied by people in Zhangjia Village, can’t you go and seek justice?”
Zhao Xiaoya really wanted to wake up this stupid girl. Even she, a teenage girl, understood the truth. Why didn't Li Dashi understand it?
Li Dashi hesitated, "But I have troubled the village a lot, and I have not been able to repay them for so many years..."
Li Dashi felt guilty. Everyone's life was difficult, but He was able to save a mouthful of money from his mouth to raise him, but he didn't repay this kindness at all.
“You didn’t eat their food for free back then. Didn’t you also work for them? And when you look at us like this, you can’t even live anymore, so how can you repay everyone?
The meaning of clan existence is to support and help each other. If you don’t talk about it, others will naturally not meddle in other people’s business.”
Zhao Xiaoya also thought of her clan. On the way to escape, the clan didn't want to abandon anyone, but her parents were both there, and others couldn't see it. They only said a few words and didn't care.
She would be abandoned. It must have been planned for a long time. I remember that in those days, my parents always took their time and walked last. I don’t know what reasons they found to make this matter go away?
"But you are a descendant of the Li family. Your mother-in-law has remarried. Even if she wants to raise her, she does not raise her stepfather and brothers."
Zhao Xiaoya is really scared. She can escape this time One calamity passed, but what about the next time?
Seeing that Li Dashi was still hesitating, Zhao Xiaoya gritted her teeth and said, "I know your mother is very important in your heart, and I also know that if we don't support my mother-in-law, it would be unfilial on our part, but I always feel that my mother-in-law is pregnant with me. It’s very malicious. If Sister Yun and the others hadn’t come over, my child and I would have died.”
Li Dashi clenched his fists, "I'll go find the clan leader."
Zhao Xiaoya let go of his hand. It was really not easy to move this piece of wood. He quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "When you go to the clan, remember to ask the elders first. After all, we are still young, and we have to rely on our elders for opinions on many things."
After speaking, Zhao Xiaoya quickly turned back to the room, gritted her teeth and packed a small half bag of rice, "Didn't you say that a few days ago. The patriarch's great-grandson was born, so give this away."
"But you and the child..." Li Dashi was a little reluctant to give it up. He had never seen such bright white rice in the town, so he gave it away like this. Go out...
"I have some left with the child," Zhao Xiaoya gently pushed Li Dashi out, "As long as the patriarch is willing to intervene, the Zhang family will not dare to go too far in the future."
Watching Li Dashi go down the mountain, Zhao Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he is willing to take this step and has the help of people from Lijia Village, his life will definitely get better and better.
Looking at the road down the mountain again, I don’t know when Sister Yun and the others will come back.
☆
Because of Zhao Xiaoya’s half bag of rice, Patriarch Li immediately called a dozen young people and went directly to the head of the Zhang family.
“Your family is not good enough,” Patriarch Li said loudly in the grain drying field without visiting the village as soon as he entered the village.
When the people of Zhangjia Village heard that they stopped working, what did your Li family want to do? Come to provoke?
"Clan Chief Li, what does this mean?" Patriarch Zhang looked unkind, and he had to give a reason for calling him. "When we widows from Lijia Village remarried to you, they took away their money, sold their houses and fields, and left their children to be raised by our family." Patriarch Li looked at the entire grain drying farm, and finally focused on old man Zhang. Everyone in Zhangjia Village also thought about this.
Didn’t Old Man Zhang marry a widow from Lijiacun back then? When Widow Li came in, she brought four acres of fertile land with her. But it’s only been so many years, and her sons are almost married. You are a daughter-in-law, are you talking about this again?
“This has been happening for many years. Didn’t Li Zheng approve it back then? Does your village still not allow widows to remarry?”
Patriarch Zhang doesn’t understand what happened for so long, what else can he say? He was a bit biased back then, and since he was a member of the Zhang family, he was inevitably biased.
"What was the situation back then? Everyone knows it well." If it hadn't been for the Zhang family there, the widow wouldn't have been able to take away a single coin.
They swallowed this sigh of relief back then. Now that Li Zheng is gone, it is time for them to get it back.
"There is no problem for a widow to remarry, but she has not passed the three or seven years, so she found a new wife. Who knows if she hooked up before?"
"There is no way to verify this. Don't worry about it," Patriarch Li said slightly when he saw Zhang's family anxious, "But whose widow remarried and emptied her husband's family of all their wealth, leaving only a young son?
It’s not like Li Tudou (Li Dashi’s father) doesn’t have a son, so the family assets left behind should also belong to Li Dashi. Why can a widow be taken away? "
Old man Zhang grabbed Zhang Datou, who was about to rush forward, and shouted to him in a low voice, "Be quiet, you shouldn't come forward at this time." "
It's been so many years since things happened, and it's not that easy to get things back.
"Brother Li, I won't bring up the old things. "Speaking of this, Patriarch Zhang knew he was in the wrong, but he was not the Patriarch back then. Even if he disagreed in his heart, he had no right to speak at that time.
Patriarch Li chuckled and said, "If you don't mention it, I won't mention it. , but who in this hundred-mile radius doesn’t know about the evil things your Zhangjia Village has done.
Your village is the first of its kind. If I remember correctly, there are several widows in your village. I wonder if they can sell their houses and land and then remarry?
It’s our village’s fault that we haven’t publicized this matter for you all these years. When I went back to the market, I went to help you and said, these widows in your village are all delicious buns. , marry them, and you will have a house and land. "
The widows in Zhangjiacun's eyes lit up. If this is really the case, then who would want to be a widow?
Clan leader Zhang was complaining in his heart. Things that happened many years ago have been suppressed. What if this happens again? When they came out, there was no other Zhang Lichang to support them.
He glared at Old Man Zhang bitterly, pretending that he didn't know what had happened over the years.
"Brother Li, just tell me straight, why did you come here this time?"
"What else can I do? The children in our Lijia Village are almost being bullied to death by you.
My family's fortune was wiped out, and I finally grew up eating a lot of food. The remarried woman came to my door again and asked for support. Her appetite became bigger every time, and she delayed our good boy for many years.
< br>After finally marrying a daughter-in-law, you are now about to become a father. It would be better for you, the Zhang family, to come to the house and empty the house without saying a word, but you also want to harm the lives of other people’s wives and children. Is this what human beings do? "
As soon as Chief Li finished speaking, the Li family members who came over looked at Old Man Zhang and his son angrily.
