Chapter 2: Showing kindness for no reason
After working hard all morning, Li Dao was tired and had backache and was out of breath.
Ever since he came out of his mother's womb, Li Dao has never been so tired.
This morning, I was feeding pigs, chopping firewood, and grinding. I was worse than an animal, and I suffered all the punishments I could bear.
Until now, not even a drop of water had come in. He was so angry that his face was livid, and he felt humiliated. He scolded Li Dagou's whole family again.
This also allowed him to directly experience the life of ancient serfs.
I must have traveled to ancient times, and eighty percent of the people's lives were like this.
Fortunately, at noon, his naughty sister-in-law still brought food and threw four woofou for him.
After all, she didn't want Li Dao to starve to death.
If something bad happens due to hunger, who will do all the farm work at home?
Therefore, when food should be given, food was given.
However, when Li Dao took the time to take a look at the food of his brother and sister-in-law's family, the raging fire of anger ignited in his heart again.
"Old thief, how dare you bully me!!"
He almost smashed several croquettes to the ground.
The pork-filled dumplings that the brother and sister-in-law's family ate were nutritious, but they treated him like a dog and gave them to him.
But when he thought about the scene nineteen days later, he still gritted his teeth and endured it, and gnawed the cornbread angrily.
In the afternoon.
Li Dao was not idle either. Under the scolding of his brother Li Dagou, he took the hoe and walked directly towards the farmland at the entrance of the village.
When passing the village entrance.
A group of children immediately circled Li Dao with smiles.
"You are a fool, you are a fool, you will always be a fool."
"Hey hey hey, Ergouzi is here again."
"Er Gouzi, is your brother going to marry you a wife?"
"Tch, get him a wife? Don't even think about it. My mother said that the money you save will be used to get me a wife from now on."
A chubby, round-faced child about seven or eight years old said with disdain.
He is Li Dagou's son.
Li Xiaohu!
"Li Xiaohu, are you going to marry a wife so soon?"
A snot-nosed kid said.
"My mother said that the men in Lijiagou grow up very fast and can marry a wife at the age of twelve. In four years, I will be able to marry a wife."
Li Xiaohu stood up, patted his chest, and shouted.
Li Dao sneered secretly after hearing this.
Get a wife?
Go ahead and eat shit!
If you dare to beep again, I will give you the basket.
With a livid look on his face, he swung the hoe and started digging hard in the farmland, swinging it with great enthusiasm, as if every time the hoe turned, it landed on Li Dagou's head.
In this way, time passes.
Another afternoon passed.
At dusk, Li Daoliu, panting and aching all over, finally walked back home with his hoe on his shoulder.
But this time when he walked home, he was surprised.
Uncharacteristically, Li Dagou and his wife did not scold him. Instead, they welcomed him into the house for dinner with great enthusiasm.
"Oh, my second uncle has worked hard today. Please sit down and have a drink with your brother."
Sister-in-law Wang Cuilian is all smiles.
"Yes, second brother, after so many years, you and I have never had a drink together. Today, I asked your sister-in-law to make your favorite dumplings and let us have a drink."
Li Dagou smiled.
Li Dao looked at the table suspiciously.
There were several plates on the table, filled with dumplings that had just been cooked.
There is also a bottle of old wine on one side.
Is this big dog Li crazy?
Are you suddenly so kind to yourself?
You won't be poisoned, right?
He looked at Li Dagou solemnly.
"Hey, second brother, why do you look at me like this? You and I are brothers, what? You don't even believe me?"
Li Dagou forced out a smile and patted Li Dao on the shoulder.
He is round and chubby, with thick arms. He has the body type of Sammo Hung in Hong Kong movies. You can tell at a glance that he is a good fighter.
Li Dao felt increasingly disgusted.
But when I thought about it, if Li Dagou wanted to kill himself, he wouldn't drug him.
With his physique, trying to kill himself would be like crushing a chicken to death.
Thinking of this, he immediately started eating.
No matter what tricks he has, he won't agree to it anyway, he will eat first and talk later.
I don't know if it's due to the curse, but his appetite has really increased greatly now.
"Eat slowly, there is still plenty in the pot."
Li Dagou smiled.
"Yes, uncle, eat slowly."
Wang Cuilian smiled, but her heart was secretly bleeding.
You little beast, you really have a big appetite!
Seeing Li Daoyi finish up half the plate of dumplings, Li Dagou quickly got down to business and said with a smile, "Second brother, it's like this. Our parents actually hid a piece of family property before they died. I also learned from the clan leader today." I just found out,
At that time, our parents thought that you were too young to take care of you, so they gave five acres of fertile land to the clan to take care of, and planned to hand it over to you when you become an adult. Now that you are an adult, the clan will prepare it in these two days. I give you these five acres of fertile land.
However, I think you are still too young to do such physical work. Besides, if you want to marry a wife in the future, don’t you still have to rely on me and your sister-in-law, right?”
Li Dao understood it instantly and sneered in his heart.
Li Dagou has taken a fancy to those five acres of fertile land!
I want to put those five acres of fertile land into his hands.
Good guy!
He asked: Why are Li Dagou and his wife so kind-hearted all of a sudden?
"Can't understand."
Li Dao shook his head and continued eating dumplings.
"Oh, my uncle is always joking. What your brother means is that you are going to get a wife soon. Why don't you give these five acres of fertile land to us first and let us keep it for you. This way, you don't have to worry about it being ruined by you. , when you get a wife in the future, I will take it back and give it back to you."
Wang Cuilian forced a smile and said.
This is the first time in the past two years that Li Dao's body has seen Wang Cuilian's smile.
"Still don't understand."
Li Dao continued to eat dumplings crazily.
"Little beast, what do you mean?"
Wang Cuilian's fierce personality came into play and she suddenly screamed: "For so many years, I have provided you with food and drink, and you talk to me like this? I am also your sister-in-law, you little bastard, are you still thinking of rebelling today? It’s over, boss, I don’t want to live anymore.”
She immediately sat on the ground, rolled around, and cried bitterly.
Li Dagou's face instantly turned livid with anger, his eyes showed blazing anger, and he looked at Li Dao.
Li Dao was instantly startled when he saw him, worried about angering Big Dog Li.
"How about this? Let me think about it first and give you an answer in half a month."
Li Dao spoke quickly.
"Half a month? Okay, good second brother, I'll give you half a month. Don't let me and your sister-in-law down."
Li Dagou forced out a smile, patted Li Dao's shoulder with his chubby palm, and subconsciously squeezed Li Dao's dry bones, causing bursts of pain.
Li Dao cursed in his heart.
