On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 6 Our Chun Niang still has her family!

"Chun Niang? Chun Niang?

Sister is here, don't be afraid!"

The moment when Li's mother looked at her sister-in-law Zheng Meiniang, whose eyesight was damaged due to eating poisonous fruit on the road, her nose felt sore. She could not hold back the tears just now, and the big tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

Li's mother let go of the hand that was holding Shitou, and let go of the other hand that was holding Li Shiyue, and trotted towards Zheng Meiniang. When she got close, Li's mother held Zheng Meiniang's arm and called out "Sister" with a trembling and choked voice. Li's mother could no longer speak, and just held Zheng Meiniang's hand and sobbed.

Although Zheng Meiniang could not see clearly, she still had strength in her body. Just by hearing the noise made by Li's mother, she knew that her aunt, who was only four years younger than her and was like a real sister to her, had suffered a great injustice.

He groped his way and pulled Li's mother into his arms. Li's mother's small stature fit perfectly in the arms of Zheng Meiniang, who was as tall and strong as a man. Zheng Meiniang hugged Li's mother with one hand and patted her back with the other hand to comfort her.

Of the two young girls who came with Zheng Meiniang, the eldest sister Li Qiutian was the short one, while the younger sister Li Xiatian took after Zheng Meiniang in height. Although she was one year younger than Li Qiutian, she was very tall and strong, half a head taller than Li Qiutian.

While Li's mother was still crying, Li Shiyue pulled Shitou, Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian and told their aunt Zheng Meiniang what had just happened as quickly as possible.

Li Youfu, the village chief of Lijia Village, and three elders, who had been hiding in the crowd, now stood up.

Some clever tribesmen quickly found small wooden stools they had made themselves and let Li Youfu and the elders sit down.

Listening to the people in Lijia Village, they told us how Li's father and Qin Tao had an affair in the middle of the night and were accidentally discovered by Shitou, and then Qin Tao revealed that she was pregnant and begged Li's mother to agree to let her be a mistress, but Li's mother disagreed and decided to divorce Li's father with her two children.

In fact, except for those who did not hear it with their own ears, Li Youfu and the three elders had already reached the periphery of the crowd when Li's mother questioned Li's father, and they heard the whole thing.

Li Youfu listened to the comments of the villagers about Li Shiyue's family. Some said that they should divorce, while others said that they had already fled famine and should just make do with each other.

Li Youfu moved his mouth and habitually reached out to take out the pipe from his waist, but found nothing. He suddenly remembered that he had accidentally lost the pipe while fleeing from the famine in such a hurry.

Li Youfu smacked his lips and glanced at Li's father and Qin Tao in the light of the fire. At this moment, Li's father had already pulled Qin Tao up.

It wasn't that Grandmother Li let Father Li get up because she felt sorry for him, it was Father Li who got up on his own.

I guess Father Li was tired of kneeling, or judging from the expressions of Mother Li and Li Shiyue, he knew that this matter could not be solved by just kneeling twice, so he was too lazy to pretend.

Li Youfu just took a glance and went to see the three oldest and most senior elders in Lijia Village.

My third great-uncle was old, and he couldn’t even open his eyelids when he was woken up in the middle of the night. So he just sat down and closed his eyes and took a nap.

The fifth uncle and the eighth uncle both had their eyes open, but after looking at each other, they went to see Li Youfu together.

"You are blessed, look," the fifth uncle glanced at Li's father, "how do we do this?"

"What? What else do you want to do?

Be at peace!

Must divorce!

Don't think you can bully Chunniang and her two daughters just because Wangzheng is not here! We Chunniang still have our family here!

What the hell is this? Who wants such a filthy thing? "

Zheng Meiniang started shouting, and while she was shouting these words loudly, she raised her hand and pulled out the butcher knife that was tucked on her waist.

Li Youfu suddenly felt his ears squeaking. He raised his eyes to look at Zheng Meiniang who was wielding the butcher knife, and quickly swallowed a mouthful of saliva in his throat.

As soon as Li Youfu saw Zheng Meiniang's butcher knife, he couldn't help but think of the guy from the neighboring village who climbed over the wall into Li Wangzheng's house in the dark at the beginning of the year. He didn't know whether he wanted to steal some valuables while Li Wangzheng was not at home or to harm the two little girls of the Li family.

No matter what happened to this idiot, he ended up limping and bleeding all over Li Wangzheng's house, and Zheng Meiniang also cut off three of his fingers.

Later, Er Laizi's mother, who was prone to throwing tantrums and acting crazy, didn't dare to come to his house to ask for medical money. She had to ask someone to find him and finally get the three broken fingers back.

Of course, the finger cannot be taken back. The Erlai family just wants to ensure that the next person will have an intact body when he dies, so that he can at least be a complete person in the next life.

Zheng Meiniang's skill in using a butcher knife is truly better than her teacher.

Zheng Meiniang's home was in the town. Zheng the butcher had only this little girl in his life, and he taught her all the skills of slaughtering and butchering pigs.

Originally, Zheng the butcher was thinking of finding a son-in-law for his daughter, but he never expected that Li Wang, who came to the town to find a job, would catch the eye of Zheng Meiniang.

Li Wangzheng's parents had passed away long ago, and he only had a younger sister, Li Wangchun, who was Li Shiyue's mother, and the two of them lived together and depended on each other.

At the beginning, Li Wangzheng and Zheng Mei Niang fell in love with each other. He immediately went to Zheng the butcher and said sincerely: "Uncle, if you don't mind me having a sister without a father or a mother, I am willing to marry into your family."

Zheng the Butcher is also interesting. Looking at a person like Li Wangzheng, he actually does not agree to marry into the family. Instead, he wants to marry his daughter off.

At that time, they were still young. Li Wangzheng was less than thirteen, Zheng Meiniang was only fourteen, and Li's mother was only ten years old.

Zheng the butcher hired a matchmaker to arrange a marriage between Zheng Meiniang and Li Wangzheng, and helped Li Wangzheng find a job as an apprentice and let him live in the blacksmith's house.

Instead, he brought the still young mother Li to his home to keep Zheng Meiniang company.

Therefore, Li's mother and Zheng Meiniang have always called each other "Ajie Amei" since they met. Even when Zheng Meiniang and Li Wangzheng got married, Li's mother still called her sister-in-law Zheng Meiniang "Ajie".

Two years ago, Zheng the butcher got a cough. Li Wangzheng went everywhere to seek medical treatment and medicine. He spent all his wealth accumulated over the years, but still failed to save Zheng the butcher.

Therefore, Zheng Meiniang officially took over Zheng the Butcher's butcher knife and started trading pork in the town.

In the early years, the Zheng family was well off, and they sent Li's mother to learn skills from the herbalist in town. As a result, Li's mother learned quite a few words, recognized a few herbs, and knew some folk remedies to treat headaches and fevers.

One of the reasons why the Li family was interested in Li's mother was because she was literate, knew a few medical prescriptions, and could go in and out of women's rooms to treat illnesses and earn some copper coins.

Over the years, Mother Li has indeed brought a lot of benefits to the Li family with her own abilities.
