Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 44: Pick up the shovel and do it ([-]st update)
After dinner, Li Muyang asked Li Xiangqin to wash the dishes. He lined a bamboo cage with a clean lining and filled it with ten buns.

I plan to give five to each of my eldest brother and my second brother’s family.

In the past, every time my second sister-in-law’s family made delicious food, she would ask the children to bring some over.

Li Muyang repaid them by making meat buns this time and giving them some as well.

As for the eldest brother’s family, the eldest sister-in-law is like this and cannot do such delicate and gentle things, but in fact, it’s okay to be a general person.

Since I gave everything to the second brother, it would be unreasonable not to give some to the eldest brother.

If the elder brother and sister-in-law find out, they will be unhappy.

Li Muyang was originally planning to take Li Xiangqin with him. He felt that the other brothers should know that his sister was beaten. Her natal brothers are the power of a woman. If her natal brothers don't stand up, then a woman will have no status in her husband's family and will not be able to speak. No confidence.

As for how to deal with it in the end, it depends on Li Xiangqin's thoughts.

It was impossible for her to still want to live her life, but her brothers went to beat up Liu Xiaogang, so what else could she do? It was better not to be enemies.

However, Li Xiangqin was unwilling to go along, fearing that the scars on her face would be seen by her brothers and the matter would become even bigger.

Li Muyang did not force it.

He walked quickly carrying the bamboo cage and soon arrived at his second brother's house.

I happened to meet my second brother at the door riding a bicycle with a square-headed shovel tied to the back of the bicycle.

The dark blue coat of Doliang was completely covered with mud, and there were even specks of dried mud on his face and hair that had not been washed thoroughly.

Hanging from the front of the bicycle was an old, faded canvas bag, which contained a tile knife, a plastering tool (a plastering tool), and a wad of rope.

These are tools that masons use every day.

It seemed that he had just returned from working outside.

"Lao Wu, what are you doing here again?"

Li Mu asked when he saw that he was still four to fifty meters away from his home, got off his bicycle, and pushed him along with Li Muyang.

Li Muyang raised the cage in his hand, "I made some buns for you, my sister-in-law, and the kids to eat."

Li Mudi glanced at the bamboo cage, slightly curious, as if it was hard to believe that Li Muyang would send buns over.

"Why are you giving this to me? I can keep it for you and mother to eat. We often make steamed buns to eat."

"What you make is yours, what I make is mine," Li Muyang smiled, "Besides, every time my sister-in-law makes delicious food, she will ask the children to bring some, and I got a lot of it. Good taste."

Li Mudi also smiled.

The two brothers are actually not the kind of people who like to talk very much. If Li Muyang hadn't been reborn and was a little more talkative, he would have just stuffed the buns to Li Muyang and left.

As the two of them talked, they came to the door of their home. Li Mudi opened the door and said, "Come in and sit down."

Li Muyang shook his head and handed him the buns prepared for the second brother's house. "I still have a few more to deliver to the eldest brother's house. If they are late, they will be cold."

Li Mu nodded and took the bun, "Then go ahead."

"Very good."

Li Muyang thought about Li Xiangqin, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Second brother, Qinqin is back."

"Oh, she comes to see mother, right?"

Li Mudi didn't think much and said with a smile: "She is already such an adult. Why would she keep coming to her parents' house if she can't just stay at home and live a good life with Xiaogang?"

"She...she was beaten."

"Beat...well, what did you say, what was beaten?"

"She was beaten by Liu Xiaogang." Li Mu's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he stared at Li Muyang coldly, "What's going on?"

As he spoke, Li Muchi's hand was already subconsciously holding the shovel handle.

Despite his short stature, his whole personality changed instantly.

Li Muyang hurriedly pulled his arm, but did not pull, only to find that his hand was tightly holding the shovel handle.

"It seems that because I lost money in gambling, I asked Qinqin for money. Qinqin originally saved it for her children, but when she didn't give it, she was..."

"My mother, Rita!"

Li Mu's hand suddenly pulled out the shovel, as if Liu Xiaogang was standing in front of him.

"Lao Wu, go back and copy the guy... Forget it, just get a hoe from me. The bastard Liu Xiaogang doesn't want to live anymore and dares to hit our family Qinqin..."

"Second brother, please calm down for a moment..." Li Muyang smiled bitterly and pulled Li Mudi hard. While the two were arguing, Zhao Yali heard the sound and opened the door curtain and came out.

When I saw the two brothers fighting for a shovel, I was immediately frightened. I ran over quickly and shouted: "Oh, why are you two brothers fighting? What's the matter? What kind of hatred can there be between the two brothers?" , do you have to get started?"

As he said that, he ran over and put his hand on the shovel handle.

As a result, a shovel handle that was not very long fell into three hands.

Li Muyang smiled bitterly and said: "Second sister-in-law, it's not my brother and I who want to fight, it's Qinqin, Qinqin's business."

"What's wrong with Qinqin? For Qinqin's sake, you can't do anything."

"You bitch, what nonsense are you talking about!"

When Li Mu saw his wife coming out, the anger he had felt for a moment slowly subsided a bit and he let go.

Li Muyang saw the second brother let go of his hand, so he let go, and Zhao Yali grabbed the shovel in his hand.

She looked at the two brothers in confusion, with worry on her face, fearing that the two brothers would fight.

Don't let brothers fight too much these days.

There are many brothers in a family. When there are more people, their personalities become different, and their interests begin to be unequal, which leads to brothers forming cliques. Some brothers have a better relationship, while others become more divided.

Unlike later generations where there were only two or three brothers at most, it was difficult to cause major conflicts.

There were a lot of cases of brothers in the village being imprisoned because of fights that resulted in injuries and death.

A relationship like that between the Li Muyang brothers is very rare and hard to see.

This mainly depends on the mother's education.

The discord between brothers is often due to problems with their parents' upbringing, or because their parents are highly biased.

Although it is unrealistic to not be a little partial when you have more children, at least you can't go too far.

Some parents do everything for the children they like, but the children they don't like want to be kicked out immediately. Children who have received care will be proud of themselves, while children who receive little attention will feel resentful.

After they get married, the previous disputes will be put on the agenda. Without the suppression of their parents, conflicts will break out at any time.

When the quarrel becomes serious, they may even stay away from each other until death.

Zhao Yali knew this very well, so when she suddenly saw Li Muyang and Li Mudi like this, she was really shocked.

I was so shocked that I didn't know what to do.

"What's going on, Muyang, tell your sister-in-law that it's your brother's problem, and I'll tell him for you... Oh, look at me, you just mentioned Qinqin, what happened to Qinqin?"
