The village where Lu Xiaole is located is called Gaozhuang, and the branch secretary and director of Gaozhuang Village is named Li Jitang.

Li Jitang is a capable man, a veteran, with a strong style, after returning to his hometown, he started as a militia company commander and rose to the top rank.

More than 10 years ago, there was a wasteland covering an area of forty or fifty acres in the west of Gaozhuang Village, which was originally a river beach, but due to the diversion of the river, the river beach became land, and this land should have been shared with neighboring villages, but the two villages wanted to take it for themselves, so a conflict broke out.

There were many people in the neighboring villages, and two or three hundred young and strong villagers were gathered, armed with shovels, pickaxes, sickles, and other weapons, to forcibly occupy the territory.

Li Jitang led 50 young and strong villagers, also armed with shovels, pickaxes, sickles and other weapons, and fought with 2 or 300 people from neighboring villages.

Although the other party was outnumbered, Li Jitang used all the art of war formations brought back from the troops, won more with less, and used more than 50 people to stubbornly repel five times the "enemy", and included that wasteland in the map of Gaotang Village.

After this battle, Li Jitang's reputation was shocked, and no one dared to provoke it.

The land that was stolen was not conducive to growing grain because it was silt at the bottom of the river, so Li Jitang built a brick and tile factory on that wasteland, and many villagers worked in the brick and tile factory, which stimulated the economy of the village.

Although the brick and tile factory is nominally owned by the village collective, it is actually Li Jitang's own, and only symbolically gives some rent to the village, most of which belongs to him personally.

Although the villagers complained, no one dared to say it clearly, and some people went to complain, but all of them were unsuccessful, and those who complained were retaliated against to varying degrees, and no one dared to sue again.

Gaotang Village is already richer than the surrounding villages, there are very few earthen houses, and most of them are brick houses, but there are no buildings in the whole village---- only two buildings, both of which belong to Li Jitang.

In the easternmost part of Gaotang Village, there are two three-story small western-style buildings with five bays, which are the courtyards of Li Jitang and his son Li Changchun.

There are two courtyards, one in front and one behind, the front is Li Jitang's, and the back is Li Changchun's.

Li Jitang has a son and a daughter, his son Li Changchun was not admitted to university, and followed his father to run a brick factory; Daughter Li Fengchun was just admitted to university this year and was admitted to a prestigious school in the provincial capital.

Li Fengchun and Lu Xiaole are the same age, and they are classmates in elementary school and junior high school. Lu Xiaole was not angry, he didn't even get into high school, Li Fengchun went to high school, and then was admitted to university.

Li Changchun is three years older than Lu Xiaole, and he is only 21 years old this year, but he has been married for two years and got married at the age of nineteen.

Regarding Li Jitang's daughter-in-law, the origin is very mysterious, and no one knows her true family background.

Everyone only knows that she is from the county seat, and her mother works in a certain government unit in the city, but no one knows who her father is.

Some people say that her father is a big official, her mother is a junior, she is an illegitimate child, and others say that her father is a millionaire and abandoned their mother and daughter.

But no matter what you say, everyone thinks that this daughter-in-law's life experience is not simple, otherwise, with Li Jitang's family background, it is impossible to marry a daughter-in-law of unknown origin.

Some people also said that Li Jitang's eldest brother was the mediator for this family business, and Li Jitang agreed.

Li Jitang's eldest brother is named Li Jixiang, who was originally an ordinary cadre in the town, but after Li Jitang became rich and powerful, the two brothers complemented each other and achieved each other, Li Jitang became the village party secretary and director, and Li Jixiang was promoted to the county and became the deputy director of an important department.

Of course, some people say that even if this daughter-in-law does not have any prominent family background, it is worth it for Li Jitang's family to get such a daughter-in-law.

Because this daughter-in-law is so beautiful! So beautiful! That's great!

The daughter-in-law of the village chief is not only beautiful, but also has a beautiful name, called Qin Ziyi---- she is not a countryman when she hears the name.

Qin Ziyi is not only beautiful, has a beautiful name, and has a more beautiful character, but after marrying in the village, she is gentle and amiable to anyone, even if she doesn't know what to call her, she still maintains a gentle smile, and no matter who has difficulties opening up to her, she will try her best to help.

Li Jitang is strong and domineering, almost everyone is afraid, but when it comes to his daughter-in-law Qin Ziyi, almost everyone praises him.

---- it's just that almost everyone praises it, and not everyone praises it.

For Li Jitang and his daughter-in-law, there are also some obscure rumors.

Li Jitang is too strong, not only in the village, but also at home, his wife and children are afraid of him, especially his son Li Changchun, although in front of outsiders, there is still a little bit of a young owner and a young factory director, but in front of his father, it is like a cat and a mouse, and the atmosphere does not dare to breathe.

Since marrying his daughter-in-law, Li Jitang has found a job for his wife in a unit in the city, saying that he is not tired of living and has a class, so as not to get sick at home.

He also often sent his son Li Changchun to the brick factory to work the night shift, saying that he wanted his son to be familiar with the business, and the brick factory would be handed over to him in the future.

The daughter is in high school in town and only comes back once on Sundays.

In this way, there are often only husbands and daughters-in-law in the family, and this is how the rumors come from.

Moreover, when Li Jitang speaks to anyone, whether it is a villager, a wife or a child, he is cold and serious, but when he speaks to his daughter-in-law, he always speaks softly and with a loving face, which makes people feel even more ambiguous.

Only a few people believe these gossip, and most people don't.

In the simple and pure concept of the villagers, the old husband and daughter-in-law are against the heavens, and the people who say these words are jealous of Li Jitang and destroy his reputation---- take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there is such a thing, it is also forced by Li Jitang, and it will not damage Qin Ziyi's beautiful image in everyone's minds.

Lu Xiaole didn't believe these rumors, in his heart, Qin Ziyi was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen!

In fact, since Qin Ziyi married into their village two years ago, he has seen Qin Keyi less than ten times in total, and he has said less than three words---- because Qin Ziyi rarely goes out at home, even if he sees it occasionally, he is embarrassed to come forward to talk, so he can only watch from afar.

Looking at the two small western-style buildings, Lu Xiaole felt his heart beat faster, his palms were full of sweat, and he didn't know if it was hot or his heart was hot.

"I hope my sister-in-law is in her mother-in-law's yard and can let me see her!"
