1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

There were a total of 120 seedlings. Li Dahu's family took away 10, leaving 110.

Seeing the villagers' excitement, the village chief stood up again and shouted, "Stop it, everyone be quiet, you can't lead anyone away if you keep pushing forward like this!"

"Village chief, my family is in such a difficult situation! Please let me get a few more!"

The woman who had been acting weird in the crowd just now, now rushed in like crazy. Seeing that Li Weiguo had no chance, she ran to the village chief to complain.

The village chief heard it all just now. This person said a lot of sarcastic words. Now he can forget about getting any chicken seedlings!

"Who doesn't have difficulties? You! What were you doing just now? You should just wait back here!"

The village chief would never say that he would not give it to her, but he would not arrange to help her either!

Li Weiguo's uncle and nephew were surrounded by villagers and responded to the village aunts and ladies with a smile.

As for those gentlemen who usually worked hard, they were now squeezed out of the crowd.

They looked at so many people and stamped their feet in anxiety.

While distributing chicks, Li Weiguo asked the villagers to go to the village chief to sign an agreement.

"Weiguo, just go for it boldly. Who in the village still has chickens, ducks, and geese these days? Thanks to you, we have an extra source of income. Auntie is sitting here watching. I wonder who dares to leave without signing the agreement!"

The other villagers also followed suit: "Yes, Weiguo, just go ahead and post it. If that blind man tries to take advantage of the situation, we aunts and wives won't stand for it!"

"That's right. Those who just said those sarcastic remarks, you should also be more self-conscious. Don't even think about getting the seedlings today. You don't even trust Dahe, so why are you taking advantage of him? Don't you agree?"

"Yep……"

Once someone took the lead, the villagers followed suit. The few people who had spoken just now moved back dejectedly. Some also wanted to get away with it, but unfortunately the masses had sharp eyes, especially these female soldiers.

It didn't take long before he pushed the man out: "Bah! You were so proud of yourself and making sarcastic remarks just now, and now you want to take advantage of me? No way!"

Li Weiguo thought that the aunties and ladies in the village were so cute. The way they hated evil was just like the old ladies in martial arts novels.

Because there were really not many chicks, apart from Li Dahu's family who was the first to step forward and received ten chicks, the other families received at most four, and as few as two.

But even so, the villagers are very grateful to Li Dahe and his nephew.

They held the chicks and ducklings they had received in their arms as if they were their own children, and were very careful, fearing that the chicks would get hurt.

After the villagers signed the agreement, they returned home with the seedlings they received.

The men in the family immediately helped to clean up the breeding grounds. They were all smiling and kept praising the good things about Li Dajiang and his brother.

There is another special family in the village, that is the family of Li Weiguo’s second grandfather Li Quanzhen.

At that time, Li Quanzhen was mixed in the bustling crowd, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing deep depression and confusion.

He watched the villagers happily receive the seedlings, feeling mixed emotions.

In the past, he would have bravely stepped forward in such an occasion and used all means to seek benefits for his family.

But now, he was like a frost-bitten eggplant, wilting there, his feet as if being dragged down by lead blocks, unable to take a step.

All around him were the noisy voices of people and the cries of poultry, and dust was flying under people's feet, but all this bustle seemed to have nothing to do with him.

He looked up at the dazzlingly blue sky, with a few white clouds drifting slowly by, but his mood was like the scorched earth under the cloudless sky, dry and desolate.

A few days ago, the news that his eldest brother and his family had moved to the city hit him hard like a bolt from the blue.

However, he only found out about this after his elder brother and sister-in-law passed away, which made him feel extremely lost and confused.

"Why on earth did it happen? Why did my elder brother and his wife leave so decisively without even saying hello to me?"

Li Quanzhen asked himself this question over and over again in his heart, but he could not find the answer.

Later, two days later, he heard the news that Dahe's wife, Wang Dahua, had also found a formal job in Sijiu City.

When he heard the news, he felt like he was poured with ice water. Did his elder brother and sister-in-law really not care about him now?

It’s obvious that my brother and sister-in-law were not like this before!

Looking back over the years, his family has been living a very tight life. If it weren't for the help from his eldest brother and his wife, his family would have probably gone bankrupt long ago.

He has three sons, the eldest Li Dahu, the second Li Dahai, and the third Li Datao. All three sons relied on the help of their eldest brother and his wife to get married and have children.

When the eldest brother Li Dahu got married, because Chen Suzhi's family did not ask for a dowry and the family had almost no money to pay, he did not go to his eldest brother and sister-in-law to cry poor.

But later, the second and third brothers got married and had children, and he had no ability to make money, so he turned all his attention to his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

He tried every possible means to get money out of his elder brother and sister-in-law.

Even when Li Datao got married, his eldest brother and sister-in-law were not well off, but he even borrowed money for Li Dajiang's medical treatment for his injured leg, just to give his youngest son a decent wedding.

At that time, the eldest brother and sister-in-law always considered them in everything and never ignored them like this.

But just now, Li Dahu's wife was the first to step forward to receive the chicks.

Chen Suzhi's trust in Li Dahe caught his eye, like a flash of lightning across his chaotic thoughts.

He suddenly realized something and looked at his eldest daughter-in-law in the crowd in disbelief.

Recently, the eldest granddaughter Li Weilan no longer seems to come to beg for food like she used to.

The villagers no longer talked about Li Dahu's illness.

This series of anomalies made his mind confused.

"Could it be..."

A terrible thought arose in his mind, "Could it be that my elder brother and his wife knew that I was using Li Dahu's illness to cheat money?"

Once this idea appeared, it spread wildly in his mind like weeds and could no longer be contained.

However, Li Quanzhen was unwilling to admit that it was his fault.

His selfish and conceited heart could not accept this fact.

He tried to defend himself in his heart: "Can you blame me for this? It's because my family is poor. I just want to make some money to make life easier."

With a heart full of confusion and resentment, Li Quanzhen returned home dejected.

As soon as he entered the house, he was like a lit powder keg, venting all his anger towards his wife Qin Xinghua.

"It's all your fault! It's all because of you, you jinx!"

Li Quanzhen yelled at the top of his voice, his eyes wide open and veins bulging on his forehead.

Qin Xinghua was originally busy in the house. When she heard her husband's sudden scolding, she was stunned for a moment.

She turned around slowly, her face full of astonishment and disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes, and she said with trembling lips, "Boss, what's wrong with you? How did I provoke you?"

Li Quanzhen rushed to Qin Xinghua, pointed at her nose and scolded: "If you were not incompetent and didn't know how to live, would your family be like this?"
