Chapter 109 Lessons
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"
Li Gousheng was chased by Liang Xiaohua and ran around everywhere, and people around him tried to stop him.
Liang Xiaohua was being pulled away and could only watch Li Gousheng run away.
How could Li Chunhua be missing at such a good time to enjoy the show? She was able to get along with everyone and soon found out everything.
Then she muttered, "Sister Jiang Jiang, Sister Jiang Jiang, let me tell you something."
Jiang Jiang knew that he had something to eat.
The two of them were whispering to each other, just like badger in a melon field.
The relationship between Li Gousheng and Liang Xiaohua is complicated.
According to their relationship, Li Gousheng should call Liang Xiaohua grandma.
In his early years, Li Cai married and had two sons. His wife died early, so he was introduced to Liang Xiaohua, a widow who had a son and a daughter. After they got married, they had another son and a daughter.
As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. The two sons born to Li Cai’s previous wife lived worse and worse, and often relied on relief from the villagers to survive.
Li Gousheng’s father, Li Goudan, is the unlucky second son.
After Li Cai died, his two sons were kicked out of the house. If it weren't for the help of the village elders, they probably wouldn't even be able to get two acres of thin land and a few quilts.
Tonight's matter was simple. Li Gousheng's family had finished drinking all their water, so they thought of finding Liang Xiaohua to share a sip.
But given her personality, it would have been fine if she didn't throw a tantrum and ask her nominal son for water, but why would she give water to this illegitimate grandson?
Li Gousheng wanted to secretly take a bowl of water from Liang Xiaohua's bucket and take it away, but he was discovered. In a panic, he knocked the bucket to the ground.
Liang Xiaohua held the rattan stick in her hand, and she wanted to kill Li Gousheng.
She was reluctant to drink the water herself, but it was knocked over by Li Gousheng. Now, there was nothing left to drink.
But when this matter spread, people did not help to scold Li Gousheng who stole the water. Instead, they stared at Liang Xiaohua with strange eyes, as if asking: Didn’t you say that your water had been drunk a long time ago, so we lent it to you? Then what was spilled?
A few days ago, Liang Xiaohua made a big fuss, borrowing water from everywhere, acting pitiful, and throwing tantrums. She used all kinds of tricks. Many people lent her a bowl of water out of courtesy, and some close relatives lent her a lot of water.
Li Chunhua's family and Jiang Jiang's family had already fallen out with Liang Xiaohua, so they did not ask for water.
Now, seeing Liang Xiaohua's bucket overturned, everyone knew that she had water at home but was still borrowing water from everywhere.
"Well, Liang Xiaohua, my grandson has no water to drink, but you have a big bucket of water hidden at home. A few days ago, you were asking for water from everywhere, and I even gave you a spoonful. You are so shameless."
Li Erya, who was over 40 years old, went to the village chief to borrow water in the morning because she had no drinking water at home. She begged him until her mouth was dry, but he still didn't lend her much water. But in the evening, she found that Liang Xiaohua had a bucket of water at home. She was so angry that she went up to Liang Xiaohua and started fighting with her, pulling her hair and grabbing her face.
Seeing that Li Erya had the upper hand, Jiang Jiang was happy to watch the show. She naturally would not have any mercy on Liang Xiaohua who had framed her.
Other families who had borrowed water from Liang Xiaohua also had a strong sense of betrayal. Liang Xiaohua said at the time that her children were almost dying of thirst without water, so they reluctantly shared a few sips of water with her. In the end, their kindness was taken for granted.
After this incident, who would dare to lend food and water to other villagers in the future?
Liang Xiaohua, with her own efforts, has put the trust between households in the village at risk.
"Village chief, you are finally here. Li Erya, that shrew, beat me up when we disagreed."
Seeing Li Shuming rushing over, Liang Xiaohua, who was unable to beat Li Erya, immediately complained.
Li Shuming had a gloomy face and stared at Liang Xiaohua. He couldn't understand why Liang Xiaohua was so troublesome and why she had such a dark heart.
After Li Shuming came over, Li Erya was also pulled away by her family. She said nothing, but just sat aside, silently shedding tears.
Liang Xiaohua shamelessly pulled Li Shuming aside, wanting him to make the decision for her.
Li Shuming shook her hand away and angrily scolded: "Liang, why do you need to borrow water from everywhere when you have water at home?"
Now, if someone else has difficulties in the future, everyone will doubt whether it is real and will be unwilling to lend their food and water.
"Oh my, you all come to bully an old woman like me, Li Cai, have you seen my family being bullied in the underworld? You are a bunch of conscienceless people."
Seeing that Li Shuming's approach was blocked, Liang Xiaohua immediately sat on the ground and started to throw a tantrum.
"Li Qiang, if you don't help your mother get back on her feet, you shouldn't stay in the village."
Li Shuming ignored Liang Xiaohua who was sitting on the ground, but spoke to Li Qiang who was standing aside and did not stop his mother.
At this time, being expelled from Daxi Village would almost mean that you could not survive.
Li Qiang immediately and forcefully pulled his mother Liang Xiaohua up from the ground.
"What are you doing? You really bring shame to my Li family!"
The tear marks on Liang Xiaohua's face were not dry yet. She looked at her little son in disbelief. Why did she work so hard? Wasn't it for this family?
Li Qiang then blurted out some nice words without asking for money, which was completely different from the way he had just been silent while watching his mother throwing a tantrum.
Li Shuming was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and directly said, "Li Qiang, since your family has water, you should return the water you borrowed from others these days."
The smile that Li Qiangqiang forced out suddenly froze, and Liang Xiaohua looked like a frightened hen.
"Village chief, all the water in our house was spilled by that kid Li Gousheng. Now we really have no water." Li Qiang acted pitifully.
Liang Xiaohua was even more direct.
"If there's any compensation, it should be paid by Li Gousheng's family. Anyway, we have no water left."
Li Shuming would not listen to their nonsense. If Li Gousheng still had water to drink, why would he go to Liang Xiaohua to steal water?
"Since you said so, then don't stay in the village. Either return the water or leave on your own. There is no other choice."
After Li Shuming finished speaking, he turned and left without giving Li Qiang a chance to speak.
This time it was for real. Li Qiang realized this and turned his gaze to the people who were on good terms with his family, but they all avoided his gaze.
There was no other choice. In order to stay in the village, Li Qiang had to reluctantly take out all the remaining water in his home.
Although the bucket was overturned, not all the water flowed out, and about one-fifth of the water remained.
Li Shuming decided to leave two bowls of water for them, and gave the rest back to the people who had borrowed water from Liang Xiaohua's family and were now out of water.
The chaotic farce finally came to an end, but Li Shuming did not look relieved at all. He looked at the whitening sky and sighed silently. Now, it would be difficult to lead the team.
