The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

Chapter 247 Respect

The villagers who reacted quickly carried Cao Guixiang and Wu Dahua away.

"Daya, come on, don't stand here outside, go home and sit for a while. I'll ask your aunt to stew chicken for you at noon." Li Changqing said with a smile.

Li Xi glanced at Gu Jingzhi beside him and said with a smile, "Okay, by the way, Uncle Changqing, these two are my friends."

Hearing her say this, Li Changqing's eyes lit up, "Since you are Daya's friend, then you are family. Come on, don't just stand there. If you have anything to say, let's go home and talk."

The noise outside was so loud that Li Changqing heard it. Dong Fengxia naturally would not fail to hear it. After Li Changqing came out, she followed him out.

But after seeing Li Xi, she hurried back home.

She knew that her husband would definitely bring Daya home soon. If it weren't for Daya's family not being able to earn the fifteen taels of silver, she would have to treat Daya well, go back and find the good things at home, and kill a chicken for lunch.

It has to be said that the couple's ideas collided, but the village was poor, and the only thing they could offer to entertain people was the chicken at home.

You know, in the village, they are reluctant to kill chickens even during the New Year and other festivals, because the chickens at home still have to keep the eggs, and the eggs can be sold, which is one of the few ways for them to make money.

If you can slaughter the chicken at home to entertain guests, it must be because a distinguished guest has come.

As soon as Li Changqing led Li Xi and the other two into the house, Dong Fengxia came up to them with a smile, "Daya is here!"

She glanced at Gu Jingzhi and Shi Hanshuo behind Li Xi, and she could tell at a glance who was the leader and who was the follower between Gu Jingzhi and Shi Hanshuo. "

"Oh, you are all Daya's friends, come in quickly, come in quickly, auntie will make you some sugar water, come in and sit down."

Dong Fengxia's face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and her eyes were always on Gu Jingzhi. This young man was not bad, tall and good-looking, and judging from his clothes, he must be from a wealthy family. Daya had good taste.

Unlike Li Changqing, Dong Fengxia could immediately see the different atmosphere between Li Xi and Gu Jingzhi.

Dong Fengxia was very confident about this. She said that the matchmaker was at least 18 years old, if not 80, and she could tell what was going on between the man and the woman at a glance.

Li Changqing was very happy to see his wife was so good at handling things. "Yes, yes, yes, come in and have some sugar water."

Gu Jingzhi followed Li Xi into the room. Shi Hanshuo was still hesitating whether to go in, but was pushed into the room by Li Changqing behind him. "Don't stand outside. Come in and sit down. Come in and sit down."

Shi Hanshuo was pushed into the room, and before he could react, he was forced to sit on a stool.

"Come, drink some sugar water." Li Changqing stuffed a bowl of sugar water into his hand.

Feeling the warmth on his hands, Shi Hanshuo came back to his senses. He looked up and saw his general and Miss Li sitting on the kang, each holding a bowl of sugar water.

Li Changqing walked over and sat down, then said to Gu Jingzhi, "There are no cups at home, but don't worry, these bowls have been washed, and they are clean."

It was obvious from the man's appearance and clothes that he was not from an ordinary family. Li Changqing was worried that he would dislike their poor hospitality.

Seeing Li Changqing's cautious look, Li Xi lowered her head and took a sip of the sugar water, then said with a smile, "This sugar water is really sweet, you should try it too."

Hearing this, Gu Jingzhi also took a sip and said, "It's indeed not bad."

Hearing him say this, Li Changqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing his look, Dong Fengxia on the side gave him a look of disdain. He knew he was worrying for nothing. How could anyone dislike something as delicious as sugar water?

"Daya, you've been gone for a while now, and there's been no news from you. Your uncle Changqing and I have been worried about you. How are you doing in Jiayuguan?"

"Aunt, I'm fine."

She glanced at Gu Jingzhi and continued to say to Li Xi, "Child, don't just report good news but bad news. If you and Hu Zi are not happy outside, come back.

In this village, your uncle's words still count, you don't have to worry about others bullying you."

After hearing her words, Li Xi felt warm and relieved in her heart. She knew that Aunt Fengxia said this to remind Gu Jingzhi that she was not an orphan with no one at home, that she and Uncle Changqing would support her, and that she was also telling herself that she and Hu Zi would always have a way out.

To be honest, her purpose in interacting with them at the beginning was not simple. She just wanted to find shelter in the village. Even letting them take over her land to grow medicinal herbs had other purposes.

But they truly gave their true hearts to themselves.

Seeing Uncle Changqing's hesitant look on his face, she could actually guess what he wanted to say. The villagers' performance just now was very clear. They were all envious of the money they could make by growing medicinal herbs and wanted to join in.

She knew that Uncle Changqing was a responsible village chief and he wanted the villagers to join him in planting.

In fact, this matter does not require my consent. After all, I have no way to stop others from planting anything in their own fields. But looking at the villagers' expressions just now, Uncle Changqing obviously did not agree to let them plant together. He must be waiting for my consent.

In fact, it didn't matter if he agreed. After all, she came back just for this matter. She knew how much the medicinal herbs from those acres of land were sold for. What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. There is never a shortage of jealous people in this world.

She also didn't want Uncle Changqing's family to become the target of public criticism. She thought Uncle Changqing understood this, but even so, he still hadn't given in. It had to be said that this made her feel warm in her heart. She knew that this was the feeling of being valued.

"Aunt, I understand." Li Xi responded with a smile.

Gu Jingzhi sat aside and watched without saying a word.

"Daya, that, that..."

Dong Fengxia rolled her eyes at Li Changqing and said, "What do you mean, Daya, ignore him."

She held Li Xi's hand and said, "Listen to me, I have to thank you."

"Aunt, what are you talking about? It was you and Uncle Changqing who took care of Hu Zi and me. How can I deserve your thanks?"

"Let's put things in perspective. You don't know that the herbs I planted this year sold for fifteen taels of silver. That's fifteen taels of silver. How long will it take for us who are just making a living to earn that much money?

If you hadn't given us the land to farm and taught your uncle how to farm, we wouldn't have been able to earn this money.

So, I have to thank you."

Dong Fengxia's words were heartfelt. She was really grateful to Daya. Although her family seemed to be living well, she knew her own life well. Their second child was studying in a private school, and the annual tuition and the expenses for writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone were not small.

Their family is just a bunch of poor people, and they can't save any money at all throughout the year.

"Auntie, don't say that. I was just talking. The herbs in the field were grown by you. You should be thanking yourselves."
