"mom!"

Li Yaozong roared, "Why did you do this? How could you be so heartless?!"

"I don't!"

Wu Ximei insisted that she had never done it.

Li Yaozong pressed for more information, but his father, his face darkening, snapped, "Enough! Your mother said she just slipped and fell by accident. What more do you want? What do you want your mother to admit to? If you're going to throw a tantrum, go home and do it. Don't embarrass yourself here!"

"..."

Li Yaozong's heart sank instantly.

His father's reaction made it clear to him.

His father was also aware of it.

No.

Not only was he aware of the situation, but he was also the one who came up with the ideas behind the scenes.

His mother is talkative, but she's timid. Without his father backing her up, she would never dare to do anything harmful.

What can Li Yaozong do?

He couldn't very well send his own mother to be shot.

After wiping his face, Li Yaozong pushed his father away and rushed home with red eyes.

Mr. Li pulled Wu Ximei up, glared at the aunt who had spoken earlier, and said, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You're accusing my wife of harming people without any evidence. Can you take responsibility if something happens?"

"..."

Meeting Li's father's sinister gaze, the aunt opened her mouth but dared not say anything more.

Everyone in the village knows that Li Gui is vengeful. If she dares to keep harping on Wu Ximei, everyone knows what underhanded tricks Li Gui will use to deal with her.

These days, quite a few children are lost.

Some baby girls are drowned in urinals right after birth.

Moreover.

The child didn't die.

No one bothered to call the police. After the person involved left, they discussed it for a while and then dispersed.

Zhao Chunzhi changed the child into clean clothes and hurriedly carried the child to the health center. Not long after, Li Yaozong caught up with her.

The child was crying sobbing uncontrollably.

Zhao Chunzhi's tears also streamed down her face. "Yaozong, your mother definitely did it on purpose."

Zhao Chunzhi had finally realized what was happening and cried, "Your mother just didn't want to pay the fine, that's why she did this, waah, my poor Sanni almost died."

"You even suggested that we go to the city to work, leaving the three children at home. How could they possibly survive if we left them like that? I disagree, I absolutely disagree!"

"Don't cry."

Li Yaozong gritted his teeth. "We can't stay in this house anymore. Tomorrow we'll take the children to the city."

Zhao Chunzhi was surprised, delighted, and worried all at the same time. "But we don't have a single penny..."

"I have a way."

Li Yaozong borrowed a bicycle from the village and took the mother and daughter to the health center first. "You take Sanni to see a doctor first. I have some things to take care of. I'll come to the health center to pick you two up before dark."

"it is good."

Li Yaozong rode his bicycle to his three older sisters' homes first, and then went to the town. He didn't stop for a moment and didn't arrive at the health center until it was completely dark.

Sanni is doing well and is in good health, but the doctor still recommends that she be hospitalized for observation.

The couple didn't have a single penny to their name, so how could they afford the hospital fees?

After declining the doctor's suggestion, Li Yaozong rode his bicycle home with his mother and daughter.

"You're back?"

Seeing the couple return with their child, Wu Ximei greeted them somewhat guiltily, "Yaozong, Mom has prepared dinner and is just waiting for you to come back and eat."

Li Yaozong remained silent with a sullen face.

Zhao Chunzhi carried the child directly into the house.

Feeling his authority challenged, Mr. Li slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Who do you think you are, putting on airs? You've gone too far!"

"What? Didn't you cause enough trouble this morning? You want to cause more now? She's just a little girl, if she drowns, she drowns, what's so precious about her!"

Li Yaozong asked him, "Was it you who made my mother throw away the child?"

"It's me!"

With no outsiders around, Li's father wasn't afraid to admit, "Four hundred yuan is enough to buy two pigs and slaughter them to eat for two years. Even if we had money, let alone not having it, I wouldn't pay a fine for a little girl."

Mr. Li became increasingly angry as he spoke, "You even sent the child to the clinic for treatment? What's there to see? A little money-loser is gone, that's all. The money saved can be used to help me have a grandson later."

"Li Tiedan will come to our house tomorrow to collect the fine. You two hurry up and throw the child away. When Li Tiedan comes tomorrow, just say the child died from catching a cold."

Li Yaozong was so angry that he was trembling all over.

He realized that his father didn't look down on Da Ni, Er Ni, and San Ni; his father despised him from the bottom of his heart.

He needs to be successful.

Would his father dare to harm his child like this?

to be honest.

His father believed that he would never amount to anything and would spend his whole life working for him, which is why he dared to treat him this way.

"I won't abandon the child."

Li Yaozong's rebellious streak reached its peak. "What's wrong with a girl? She's my child too! I wouldn't be as heartless as you, not even loving your own child!"

"Say that again, you son of a bitch!" Li's father started pulling out his belt.

"..."

A flicker of fear crossed Li Yaozong's eyes, but he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll say it a hundred times: if you have the guts, kill me and make our Li family line end right now!"

Mr. Li was furious and grabbed his belt to whip him.

Wu Ximei hugged Li's father's waist and cried, "Yaozong's father, you can't hit him, you can't hit him! Yaozong just had a tubal ligation. If you hurt him, our family line will really end."

Mr. Li gritted his teeth and endured it.

The next morning, Li Yaozong's three older sisters came to the house. After inquiring about the family's situation, they took their parents to town for a walk, as Li Yaozong had requested.

Mr. Li originally did not want to go.

On second thought, if he left, Li Tiedan wouldn't be able to find anyone to collect the fine, so he went along with him.

After the group left.

Li Yaozong, carrying a pile of urea bags, pulled Zhao Chunzhi to the room where the grain was stored.

Zhao Chunzhi's heart pounded wildly, she was terrified. "Yaozong, are we really going to sell the grain at home? Mom and Dad will beat us to death if they find out when they get back."

Li Yaozong stepped onto a stool and lifted the lid of the wheat pit. "What are you afraid of? We'll be in town by the time they get back."

"But……"

"Do you want to go into the city or not? If you do, hurry up and get some food from me."

Zhao Chunzhi certainly wanted to go into the city, so she gritted her teeth and held up the bag for Li Yaozong.

The Li family had three grain storage pits. Two pits contained wheat, and one pit contained corn. Li Yaozong and Zhao Chunzhi only left one pit with wheat, and bagged all the grain in the other two pits.

The grain has just been packed.

The grain collectors arrived.

The person who will collect the grain is someone Li Yaozong found in the next village yesterday. They agreed that he would come today with a weighing scale to collect the grain.

Grain prices have risen this year, with wheat at 0.5 yuan per jin and corn at a particularly good price of 0.3 yuan per jin. More than twenty bags of grain were weighed.

1125 jin of wheat.

1210 jin of corn.

The grain buyer counted out 926 yuan on the spot and gave it to Li Yaozong.

Li Yaozong was so excited that his breathing became rapid when he received so much money for the first time.

After the grain was sold out, the livestock buyers arrived. Li Yaozong sold his old sow and two sheep, earning another 355 yuan.

The villagers assumed the Li family was trying to raise money to pay the fine, and didn't take it seriously.

Around four or five in the afternoon.

Mr. Li and Ms. Wu returned from town after a satisfying meal.

When they opened the gate, they found that all the livestock and grain were gone; it was like the sky had fallen.

……

That evening.

Zhang Guiying had just fallen asleep when she was awakened by a loud banging on the door.

Angry roars and screams echoed outside the door: "Li Yaozong! Zhao Chunzhi! You two get out here right now!!"

"Zhao Binghe, Zhang Guiying, you two old bastards, open the door right now and hand over those two beasts, Li Yaozong and Zhao Chunzhi, or I'll smash your house to pieces!"
