Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

"Okay, if you know who stole the money, don't curse people all over the village. If word spreads, outsiders will think our Zhuyuan Village is a den of thieves!"

"We don't dare to keep your nephew in our village. He can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. It's hard to say who will lose something in the village from now on."

"Here, the village chief..." Before Ren could finish her words, Ren Dabao rushed forward, hugging Ren's thigh and began to cry and beg.

Ren is an old girl, about the same age as Ren Dabao. Ren Dabao has been hanging around in sensual places all year round. He is exhausted by drinking and sex, and is addicted to gambling. He is full of decadence and decay, and he looks much older than Ren.

A half-old man, hugging a woman who looked younger than him, shouted to her to save me. This scene looked really funny.

"Auntie, have you forgotten how my parents raised you? Do you really have the heart to watch their only son freeze to death and starve to death in the wilderness?" Ren Dabao cried miserably and looked up at Ren. Full of prayers.

"Village chief, let him stay. I will send him away when he recovers. If he causes any trouble in the village, I will bear the responsibility myself."

Ren looked at the village chief with pleading eyes. She could ignore this useless nephew, but she couldn't let go of the brother and sister-in-law who raised her.

The village chief was helpless and had no choice but to relent and agree: "Remember what you said today, if he causes any trouble, you are the only one I will ask."

Seeing that Ren was pulling Ren Dabao and was about to leave, Liu Yu took a step forward and said, "Wait a minute, your eldest nephew kidnapped my second brother, you just want to forget it."

"What do you want?" Ren looked at the aggressive Liu Yu with an irritated tone.

"Thirty eggs, plus fifty cents, will help my second brother calm down. Otherwise, I won't give up on what happened today."

"You are so arrogant. I don't have any money at home now."

"That's fine. I believe the policemen in our town will welcome bandits like your nephew to go to the county government to ask for merit."

"You!...Hmph...Okay, thirty eggs, fifty cents, I'll pack them up and send them to your uncle's house in the next two days." Ren's face was ferocious, looking at Liu Yu with hatred in her eyes: "Why? So, we can go."

"Okay, for the sake of calming things down, I kindly remind you to keep an eye on your nephew. He should still pay back the money he owes to the gambling house. Others have been robbed and come out to curse."

After hearing this, Mrs. Ren was shocked and quickly turned to look at Ren Dabao behind her.

"Believe me, I'm really done with it. I want to sell the cattle I robbed today and give the money back to my aunt."

After hearing this, Mrs. Ren felt doubtful.

Liu Yu didn't care about the quarrel between the two of them. She turned around and took out something from her backpack and threw it to Ren who was about to leave: "What your nephew used to cover his face, I'll give it back to you."

This is an old pillow surface that I used to hide my money. Ren held the sticky and greasy pillow surface in her hands, and the last bit of self-deception in her heart was shattered.

After struggling for so long, Liu Yu and others unloaded the big ox from the village chief's house and left it behind, then pushed the cart and left with another ox cart.

"Ayu, thank you for standing up for Ayan today." Liu Maolin's face was filled with shame and gratitude.

"We are a family, why are we talking about this?"

When they reached an intersection, Liu Maolin asked Huang Laosan's family to unload the cattle and let them push the cart back. He went to return the cattle.

Surprisingly this night, several people did not respond and only waited at the intersection with torches.

When they finally returned to the old house, not only Liu Fusheng and Nian, but also Chang Sheng, who rarely appeared in front of others, were also waiting in the east room.

"Why are you coming back so late today? It's too late, but things are not going well." As soon as Nian finished speaking, Liu Fusheng and Changsheng also looked over with worry in their eyes.

"Nothing, I was delayed for a while on the road." Liu Yu fell asleep after a while. Liu Yu didn't want the two old people to know and worry. Anyway, they would probably hear the news tomorrow. Let's talk about it then.

Liu Yu took out the chestnut cakes sent by Pei Lan. There were four packages in total. Each family received a package, and Nian kept the extra packages.

Liu Maoye also gave the money for the chestnuts collected today to my mother. Excluding the few kilograms of chestnuts given to Boss Xu, the total sold was two hundred and twenty-three cash.

Nian counted the copper coins clearly and took out forty coins from them. This was the rental fee for borrowing the cows today. The two cows totaled forty coins.

Nian was too lazy to use an abacus to calculate the remaining one hundred and eighty-three cents. After asking each family for their opinions, Nian decided to divide the remaining one hundred and eighty-three cents into fifty cents for each room.

There were still thirty-three copper coins left, which Nian put in his purse: "This is the hard-earned money your father and I spent speculating on longevity fruits."

"Cough, cough..." Changsheng heard the longevity fruit from Nian's mouth fiercely, and choked on his saliva.

"Are you cold? It will get colder and colder if you just sit there at night." Nian said with concern, not realizing it at all.

"Okay, let's all disperse. It's getting late. Let's talk about anything tomorrow." After saying that, he looked at San'er and said, "Take this chestnut cake back and don't let Goudan finish it in one go. This is what each family does." It looks like chestnut cake."

"Mom, let's not do it together." Liu Maoye was surprised.

He has become accustomed to doing everything together these days and sharing the profits equally.

"You are all separated, and you have to be tied to one place for whatever purpose. Don't you feel uncomfortable being ordered around by others?" Nian's tone was slightly disgusting.

Liu Maoye was a little embarrassed. Isn't it because his family didn't have very good cooking skills? Zhao Tianyu was in the first bedroom, and my mother was in charge of the second bedroom. Even Ayu, who was serious about cooking, was not bad at cooking.

Only in their third bedroom, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not very meticulous in their cooking. He was afraid that they would not be able to figure out how to make such a delicate and complicated chestnut cake.

"Okay, I'll ask Sister Jin to come over tomorrow, and we ladies will try to make this chestnut cake together, so that it can be as delicious as the one in the restaurant."

"Mom, then I will ask Tianyu to come over tomorrow. This child is clever. In the past, you often praised her for her hard work in cooking. There are three gangs of good men. With more people and strength, we can make the best chestnut crisps earlier. Made."

When it comes to his daughter-in-law, Liu Maolin feels proud.

Seeing that her usually taciturn son was so eloquent, Nian's mood improved immediately. She smiled at the eldest son and nodded, "Okay, let Tianyu come tomorrow."

Early the next morning, the rooster crowed five times, but Liu Yu still felt sleepy.

Thinking about what happened today, I reluctantly cheered up and started to get dressed and get on the bed.

In the next room, Changsheng had already stood up and was walking slowly in the courtyard on crutches.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer." Seeing the yawning person coming out of the main room, Chang Sheng smiled gently.

"My two sisters-in-law are coming home today, and I have to greet them."

After hearing this, Changsheng felt a little warm in his heart. He knew that Liu Yu was afraid that someone would come to the house and felt uncomfortable.

After a simple breakfast, Changsheng took over the task of feeding the chickens. He stood in front of the chicken pen and threw handfuls of chicken food mixed by Liu Yu to the chickens.

After Liu Fusheng and Nian had eaten, they went to tend the vegetable garden behind the house. Liu Yu set up the kitchen to cook and feed the pigs.

As soon as a bucket of pig food was poured into the pig pen, Chen Jinmei and Zhao Tianyu came together carrying small baskets.
