Li was born in a small village called Lijiawan, which is 30 miles away from Shangwa Village.

Lijiawan is surrounded by mountains and countless beasts.

The villagers who live in Lijiawan are even more tightly informed, and they have to go over the mountains and mountains every day when they go out, and if they are not careful, they will become the food in the belly of the beasts in the mountains.

Due to the natural geographical location and the not good acquired restrictions, the living situation of Li Jiawan is not worse than that of Shangwa Village thirty miles away.

The surrounding villages have not starved to death for a long time, but in Lijiawan, there are still elderly and children in the family who are starved to death every winter, and the villagers of Lijiawan are so difficult to survive.

Even now, the situation has not improved much.

At the beginning, the Li family would marry Zhao Fuxiang, also because the Li family was too poor.

In the year when Li got married, there was not a drop of rain in the entire Central Plains, and then there were locust plagues of varying degrees, resulting in the destruction of this large grain-producing region.

Including Changle County, the entire Yangcheng County was affected.

For a time, because they couldn't survive, all kinds of phenomena of selling children and daughters appeared frequently.

The price of grain in the county has risen to an outrageous level.

Although some measures were taken by the prefectural ordinance at that time, the measures implemented by the prefectural ordinance were only a drop in the bucket compared to the farmers who were affected by the destruction and basically lost the entire crop, and for them, it was tantamount to drinking water to quench their thirst, but made them even more desperate.

Even if new grain cannot be delivered, they can still live on the old grain left over from last year and the lush wild vegetables around them.

But for a village like Li Jiawan, which originally relied on the weather to eat, it would be hungry, and the drought and locust plague would directly kill them.

The Li family is in Li's bend, and they belong to an ordinary family that has been okay.

Li's father and mother are quite capable, and there are a lot of hillside lands that have been reclaimed, so on weekdays, their family lives in Li's family bend is okay, although hunger also occurs, but it is not so frequent.

In short, if everything goes well, Li and the other children can grow up smoothly.

But that natural disaster directly made their family completely unable to live.

There are many children in the family, and there is not much food.

As a last resort, after the two elder sisters above the Li family were sold for grain, the Li family was also sold by her father to Zhao Fuxiang for grain.

There is no way to do it, we can't let a family starve to death.

What's more, Li is also the eldest of the remaining children, 16 years old, according to the age of the woman at that time, in two years, she will also marry.

In the end, Li still got married.

The dowry is half a stone of grain.

The Li family is also a blessing in disguise, and the life after marrying is good, the two have lived with Meimei for thirty-two years, and now she even has grandchildren, and Li's mentality has gradually calmed down, and the family with her mother has also resumed contact a few years ago.

Every New Year's holiday, the Li family will ask acquaintances to bring some things back to their parents' house.

Most of it was grain, and a small part was some money.

However, the Li family has never returned to his parents' house once.

Although he doesn't hate, Li still has a pimple in his heart, even if time passes, it is still different after all.

Ay......

Li sighed, and as soon as he looked up, he found that Chen was about to walk up to him.

But I thought about it for a while.

Li was stunned for a moment, wanting to subconsciously avoid the other party.

There's no way, Li really thinks the other party is troublesome, who made Chen every time he sees her, it's like eating dynamite, and it will blow up at one point.

Li didn't want to be unhappy.

said that the contradiction between her and the Chen family is also simple, that is, jealousy.

Whoever let them all come from the Li family, the Li family was sold because the family had no food, and the Chen family was repaid because of the family's gambling debts.

That's right, Chen's mother's family is also small, but it is not related to any natural disaster, but to Chen's gambling ghost father.

Chen's father is a well-known gambler in the surrounding ten miles and eight townships, not only the villagers of Lijiawan, but also the villagers of other surrounding villages, will use Chen's father as a negative teaching material to educate the children in the family.

Chan's childhood was miserable.

Her mother was the first to be repaid by her father, followed by Chen's eldest sister, and even worse, she was sold to a 30-year-old blind child daughter-in-law.

As the second eldest in the family, Chen has no one older than her in the family, so she naturally has to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings in the family.

The Chen family finally pulled up a few younger siblings, but none of the children in the family escaped, one by one, all of them were taken by her gambling father to pay off the gambling debts, and the Chen family was given to Zhao Fucheng of Shangwa Village, that is, a young man of Zhao Fuxiang and his clan, and the two of them counted their relatives or brothers.

Chen was given to Zhao Fucheng, also because Zhao Fucheng lent her father dozens of catties of grain, and her father had no money to pay it back, so he directly gave Chen to Zhao Fucheng.

In this way, the Li family and the Chen family married into Shangwa Village.

At the beginning, the Chen family was not very jealous of the Li family, after all, the two were in the same village, married together, and the men on both sides still had relatives, so they should get along well and support each other.

But the truth is that the two are now making a bigger noise than anyone else.

Speaking of which, Zhao Fucheng is not as good as Zhao Fuxiang anywhere, whether it is his appearance, temper or personality.

When the control groups of the two sides compare like this, Chen will naturally feel uncomfortable and jealous.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the two will fall into trouble like this.

After a turn of thoughts, Li lowered his head, intending to bypass by.

As a result, Li didn't want to care, but Chen didn't want to just let her go.

Li didn't take two steps before he was frozen in place by the strange words of yin and yang on the side.

"Oh, who's this?"

"It turned out to be you,"

"Li, what are you hiding when you see me, are you afraid that you will have no face or what?"

"I said that you want to save face, tsk, look at this clothes, hey, why don't you know the shame, people smell a fishy smell from afar,"

"It's all milk-making people, and they don't know how to clean it up when they come out, it's a hot day, which makes the smell disperse, and what to do when it's smoked......"

As Chen spoke, he didn't forget to stretch out his hand and fan the area around his nose, and the expression moved, and Li was speechless for a while.

It's really, it's really gasping to say you're fat!

"Oh, you're noble,"

"What's the matter, the road was built by your family, and the pipe is really wide,"

"I'm not like you, people in their forties and fifties are still disrespectful to the old, they are all milky people, why don't you know how good you are to your own family, and it hurts to see other people's children in the sky, heh, I don't know if people are happy or not,"

"I'm not ashamed, I'm not dressed up like a little girl, yo, who are you going to show those two monkey butts?"

"I see that Zhao Laosan doesn't beat you for two days, you have itchy skin......"

Li's mouth is slippery, and what she says is what Chen doesn't like to hear, which can be called a heart-piercing sentence and a knife to death, which is really inserting into the other party's heart.

Chen's face turned red with anger, his lips trembled, and his eyes stared at Li stubbornly, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"You, you, you, you......"

Chen was furious all of a sudden, and shouted loudly,

"Li, you are so shameless!"

The sudden roar was terrifying, startling the returning woman who was walking aside, and there was the cowardly one who knocked over the things in his hand.

This stabbed the hornet's nest, and the surroundings suddenly became lively.

The affected people looked unkind, and they all wanted to know who had done the immoral thing just now, but they turned their heads and saw Chen.

The women in the village know the name of the Chen family, that is a famous shrew, unreasonable, loves to break her mouth, everyone has suffered more or less, who dares to provoke this?

I could only secretly say that I was unlucky, and then everyone hugged what was in their hands and left one after another.

Chan ......

The behavior of the people around him made Chen even more angry!

With her ugly face, she looks like a flattening toad!

Li was also frightened by Chen's cold gaze.

However, Li didn't forget what she was going to do when she came out, seeing that the sun was about to set, she couldn't continue to spend time with Chen here.

"You're shameless, let me tell you, good dogs don't get in the way, hurry up and go, don't get in the way in front of me."

Li shook his hand, lifted the basket that was straddling his elbow up again, and then walked around Chen without looking back, without even leaving a look.

Chen was even more angry, staring at Li's back viciously, and she chased after her without thinking.

"Li, you are not allowed to go."

Rub and rub......

Listening to the roar coming from behind her, Li pursed her lips disdainfully, who was she? Why should I listen to it?

Not only did Li not stop, on the contrary, she walked faster.

Chan ......

Chen also picked up his pace.

The two of them were like this, holding their breath in their hearts, and they were directly on this avenue.

You chase after me, and no one will let anyone.

Until the huge stone mill placed in the yard of the Shi family at the east entrance of the village appeared.
