On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 14 The root of everything is nothing more than a struggle for interests.

Faced with the heroine of the original book who ran away and hid like a frightened little rabbit, Li Shiyue suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Li Chunli is Qin Tao's daughter, and Qin Tao is the scumbag father's mistress. From the overall perspective, in such a complicated relationship, the source of this matter and the subject of the essential error must be the scumbag father himself!

It was the scumbag dad who let down Li's mother. It was the scumbag dad who betrayed his wife and children. It can even be said that the scumbag dad used the entire Li family's resources to support Qin Tao's family.

This scumbag dad has let down not only Li's mother and their two children, he has also let down Li's grandmother and Li Wangming!
Then the secondary fault in the affair between the scumbag father and Qin Tao can only be Qin Tao.

Just look at how Qin Tao was so provocative and arrogant last night when facing Li Shiyue's gaze, and you can tell that she is not a good person.

Not to mention, Qin Tao even used the trick of kneeling and kowtowing to deal with Li's mother, forcing her to agree to be her mistress. Why should a woman make things difficult for another woman?
But as Qin Tao's daughter, what did Li Chunli do wrong?
A daughter cannot control her own mother, not to mention that she has a brother above her. Even Li Shigui, the son, cannot control his own mother, let alone Li Chunli?
However, it must be said that as Qin Tao's daughter, Li Chunli must have enjoyed the benefits that Li's father brought from the Li family. This is the most fundamental interest relationship.

If Li's father takes more from the Li family, Qin Tao's family gets more, Li Chunli gets more, and then Li Shiyue and the others get less. This is the most naked struggle for interests.

For example, in modern society, there are always people saying, what’s wrong with cheating couples and having children with mistresses?
After all, they have no choice where they are born, right?

But strictly speaking, aren't they born with original sin?

But then again, Li Chunli is not the daughter born out of wedlock between Qin Tao and Li's father. Li Chunli is the legitimate daughter of Qin Tao and Li Wangtian.

All in all, Li Chunli still has a conscience in her heart, so when facing Li Shiyue, she is more or less unable to raise her head and feels inferior to him.

So, when facing Li Shiyue's gaze, Li Chunli chose to hide.

Li Shiyue was unsure about how to respond to the task issued by the system to protect the heroine Li Chunli. Finally, Li Youfu could no longer suppress his anger due to Li's father's pestering.

"Li Wangguang!

Listen to me carefully, since you signed the divorce agreement yesterday, this is it!
Don't bother me any more, this matter ends here!"

Li Youfu's dark face and harsh voice were quite scary, at least Li's father was frightened.

So Father Li had no choice but to hold his breath and reluctantly agreed to Li Youfu's words. He looked at Grandmother Li and her group with a sidelong glance as they left behind two large frames and a wooden box and then left.

Although I don't know what evil ideas Mr. Li is thinking at this moment, I can tell that he has bad intentions just by looking at his distorted face.

After returning to his donkey cart, Li Shiyue no longer had time to worry about the task assigned by the system, let alone think about how Li Chunli, the heroine of the original book, would face it.

She nimbly helped Li's mother and grandmother pack up the pile of belongings from their home, while Shi Tou and Li Wangming, who were stronger, moved the belongings back and forth onto the donkey cart.

Ever since Mother Li and Father Li divorced last night, Zheng Meiniang was afraid that Grandmother Li would treat Mother Li badly.

At this moment, Zheng Mei Niang simply asked Li Qiutian to drive her donkey cart over. Zheng Mei Niang still had the sharp butcher knife on her waist. She groped over and held Li's mother's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Chun Niang. Sister is here. Sister will be with you on the way. If Sister drinks a sip of water, you will have one too!"

Grandmother Li watched Zheng Meiniang deliberately say this in a loud voice, and her eyebrows immediately drooped.

It is impossible to say that Grandmother Li does not blame Mother Li at all now. Even though Grandmother Li knows that Mother Li is the only one who has been wronged in this matter, Grandmother Li still blames Mother Li a little in her heart.

Although Grandmother Li realized that Father Li was not a reliable son, and because of the choice of her youngest son Li Wangming, she weighed the pros and cons and agreed to live with Mother Li after Father Li and Mother Li divorced.

However, it was difficult for Grandma Li to adjust her mentality all of a sudden, and it was inevitable that some of that would show up on her face.

At this moment, Zheng Meiniang, the sister-in-law of Li's mother, deliberately said this in front of Grandmother Li. How could Grandmother Li have a good face?
"Auntie."

The younger son's pleading cry made Grandmother Li sigh: "I have no desire to bully a half-blind man." Finally, the two families packed up their belongings together, lined up and followed the group of people from Li Village on their journey.

After traveling the entire day, the people of Lijia Village finally climbed over a hill in the evening and were finally able to stop and rest.

Li Shiyue didn't care about the dirt and sat down directly on the grass. As soon as he sat down, he felt soreness and numbness in the soles of his feet. Li Shiyue really wanted to soak his feet in hot water.

But this is just thought. You have to know that they didn't see any water source along the way. They had to rely on the water they fetched from the shallow stream yesterday for the whole day.

"Shiyue, drink it quickly, this is boiled water."

As soon as Mother Li met Li Shiyue's eyes, she knew what she wanted to say, "Mother has drunk it. This is specially for you. Drink it quickly."

Yes, the water that the Li family drank was boiled.

That was when the people of Lijia Village just found the shallow stream yesterday. Li's mother didn't control Shitou. Shitou was so thirsty that he buried his head in the shallow stream and drank until his belly was full.

Fortunately, Shitou's mother Li has taken good care of him since he was a child, otherwise he would have really had diarrhea.

People in Lijia Village have the habit of drinking boiled hot water, and this habit was passed down from Li Shiyue's family.

Didn't I say before that Mother Li has lived with Big Brother Li in the town since she was young? When she was young, she learned how to cure headaches and fevers from the town's medicine lady, and she also knows a few prescriptions.

Therefore, ever since Li's mother married into the Li family, any woman or girl who was feeling unwell in the family would like to go to Li's mother's house to ask for help in finding a solution or to buy her some medicine.

Li's mother also spread the news that people should drink boiled water, and some people believed it and did as she said. As a result, they had less diarrhea and suffered less. Word spread from one person to another, and drinking boiled water was good for the body, and it became a routine for every household in Lijia Village.

However, on the road to escape famine, some families who wanted to save trouble ignored this rule and drank stream water directly.

Grandmother Li took out a pot of bean and millet porridge that had been cooked in the morning from the donkey cart and scooped half a bowlful for each person.

Li Shiyue really wasn’t hungry at all at this moment, she praised in her heart: “System product, it’s really genuine!

But after eating just one pill, I didn’t feel hungry at all for the whole day! ”

Li Shiyue felt that he had been traveling for a whole day and was scorched by the scorching sun. In addition to the unbearable pain in the soles of his feet, his legs felt as if they were filled with lead and were very heavy when he walked. He was also very thirsty.

Li Shiyue didn’t know where they were now?

Where to go after leaving Henan Road?
How far is this journey?

Is the food on their donkey carts really enough?
Not to mention the task of protecting the heroine Li Chunli issued by this rubbish system. Li Shiyue just felt a headache.

The whole family ate up the porridge in their bowls in silence. Everyone's bowl was so clean that it didn't need to be washed.

After dark, Li Shiyue laid a straw mat on the ground and lay down next to his mother. While he was thinking about all sorts of things, an uninvited guest came to the Li family's donkey cart.

The moonlight is bright tonight, and Li Shiyue can see the face of the person coming clearly in the moonlight.

Yes, that scumbag dad finally came looking for me!
