Poor Family Laity

  Chapter 40, life experience

   Li Changsen, who was believed to have died in the Gobi Desert, came back alive!

   This shocked the people who helped build the house in the Li family, and the Li family was even more stupid on the spot, with their mouths gaping in shock.

  Li Changsen ignored the reactions of the others, and within a few steps came to the side of Jin Yuee, who was in tears. He hurriedly wiped away his tears and asked anxiously:

   "What happened? Don't cry, is someone bullying you and the child, tell me, I'll settle the score with him."

Jin Yue'e grabbed Li Changsen, touched his face, touched his arms and legs, and made sure that he was really alive, so she cried and smiled and said, "I'm happy, I'm happy they said you're dead, dead!" In the Gobi Desert”

  From Jin Yuee's intermittent words, Li Changsen understood what was going on.

   It turned out that Dieling Pass thought he was dead and sent someone to report the funeral at home.

  At this time, the head of the village who heard the news rushed over. Seeing Li Changsen, his face was also full of surprises, and he patted him on the shoulder heavily: "I knew that you are a tough kid, and you won't die so easily."

   Others also stepped forward to express their happiness.

  Everyone else was like this, but none of the Li family dared to step forward. On the contrary, the faces of Mrs. Li and the others were a little ugly.

  Unexpectedly, Li Changsen also treated the Li family as air. In the past, even if he had a bad relationship with his family, he would try to save face in front of outsiders.

  But at this moment, he didn't give the Li family a look, and didn't even say hello to Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li.

  Jin Yuee looked at Li Changsen, and faintly felt that her husband seemed to have changed.

  The head of the village asked with concern: "Changsen, what's going on? Didn't you say that you chased the Beiyan army, went deep into the Gobi Desert, and then lost your way?"

Li Changsen nodded with a smile: "We entered the depths of the Gobi Desert, and we did get lost, but we were lucky. After catching Beiyan general Yeluzan, we ran to the defense area of ​​Rongcheng by accident. I met patrolling iron cavalry, so I was not trapped in the Gobi Desert."

  In the courtyard, when Li Changsen mentioned Rongcheng, Li's father and Li's mother changed their expressions. They looked at each other quickly, and then moved away quickly.

  Li Changsen continued: "Several soldiers were seriously injured and had to be recuperated in Rongcheng for a few days. This delayed their return and caused such a big misunderstanding."

   As he spoke, he looked at the head of the village.

"Uncle Bao, when I come back from Rongcheng, I have to report to Dieling Pass immediately. Everyone else is waiting for me at the post station. Before I leave, I want to ask, what's going on?" Pointing at the burnt black courtyard of the Li family .

  The head of the village looked at Jin Yue'e, then at the Li family, and told Li Changsen one by one what happened during this period.

  Hearing that Father Li had reported Li Sanlang to the guard, Li Changsen shot at Father Li with a 'swoosh' in his sharp eyes.

  Papa Li knew that this was not done properly, so he didn't dare to raise his head.

Mrs. Li thought that there were so many people around, and Li Changsen didn't dare to disobey them, so she said loudly: "Boss, your second and third brothers are not in good health, we reported Sanlang because we saw that he is in good health. "

   "As a big brother, you don't want to see Chang Lin and Chang Mu have an accident on the battlefield, do you?"

   "Also, since you are back, you have to take good care of Wu Ya. Do you know how lawless that girl is? She stepped on and broke your second brother's leg and beat Da Lang to vomit blood."

   "Also, this house, our house, was set on fire by Wuya, why is her heart so dark, she won't let us live"

"Shut up!"

   Li Changsen yelled these words directly.

  Once Mrs. Li saw Li Changsen's reddened eyes full of unresolved hatred, her heart trembled suddenly, and she didn't dare to say anything.

  Li Changsen took a few deep breaths, suppressed the hatred and anger in his heart, ignored the Li family, and his first thought was to protect his daughter's reputation:

   "Everyone knows that I have not been loved by them since I was a child, and even the few children I gave birth to have no good looks from them."

   "My fifth ya is the most well-behaved girl. Such a delicate little girl is so timid that even ants are reluctant to step on it to death. How dare she set fire to the house?""

   Li Erya and Li Qilang who had just rushed over from Ye Mo's residence immediately looked at each other strangely when they heard this.

   Even Li Wuya bowed her head in embarrassment.

  Her father said that she didn't step on ants, it was because the ants didn't hinder her, and she was too lazy to stretch her feet, that's all.

  Li Changsen continued: "Everyone saw, how does she talk about her granddaughter as a nurse?" As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Li coldly.

   "I am not your son at all. No father or mother would treat their grandchildren like this, and no biological parents would treat their sons like livestock. After the son dies, they will continue to use their grandchildren."

  Hearing her father's extremely affirmative tone, Li Wuya looked at him in surprise.

  Speaking of this before, her father either kept silent or changed the subject. Obviously, he didn't want to face this matter.

  Why did you say it openly today?

   Was it completely chilling, or did something happen?

  Li Changsen looked at Mrs. Li with sarcasm on his face: "You are worried that Li Changlin and Li Changmu will have accidents on the battlefield, but what about Sanlang, will he not have any accidents?"

   "You also described Wu Ya as a heinous person. She is only ten years old. How much hatred do you have for her, and you want to ruin her life?"

   As he spoke, he cupped his fists and bowed to the head of the village and the people around him.

   "Everyone, family ugliness shouldn't be publicized, but I really can't help it. I work hard for the Li family. Everyone has seen how they treat me and my wife and children."

   "It hasn't been long since the guard came to report the funeral, and they kicked out my wife and children. In order to cover up their filth, they even poured dirty water on Wu Ya, who was only ten years old."

   "If things are dry today, who knows how the house caught fire?"

   "Also Li Changlin broke his leg, Da Lang vomited blood, they are tall and big, and my five girls are so petite, how could they beat them?"

   "Since we have been kicked out, I will leave the words here today. We will not have any contact with them in the future. If you want to say that I am not filial, I will admit it."

this.

  Do not recognize your parents, in the eyes of everyone, this is very contrary to public order and good customs.

  But the situation of the Li family really made it impossible for everyone to talk about Li Changsen.

  Tun chief, as the person in charge of managing the military settlement, can only sigh at this moment, and he really can't say the words of persuasion.

  Seeing that no one stood up to criticize, Li Changsen bowed gratefully again: "Thank you for understanding my difficulty." After speaking, he pulled Jin Yuee up and left quickly.

   "Let's go too!"

  Li Wuya also quickly pulled away Li Erya and Li Qilang.

  In this world, there is never a shortage of people who like to kidnap others with morality. Her father set off the atmosphere very well, so no one came out immediately.

   After a while, some self-proclaimed righteous and kind people will stand up and talk about peace as the most important thing.

  Although these remarks will not affect them, but if they hear dirty ears, it is better to sneak away quickly.

   Soon, the family returned to Ye Mo's residence.

  As soon as he entered the house, Li Changsen gave Jin Yuee the burden he had brought back, and then handed the sword hanging around his waist to Li Erya.

  Li Erya's face was full of surprise: "Father, is it for me?"

  Li Changsen nodded with a smile: "You have been practicing swords for almost five years. It is not good to use wooden swords all the time. This sword was seized by Dad from Beiyan people. You should use it first."

  Li Erya was very happy: "Thank you, Dad."

  Li Wuya and Li Qilang didn't look at each other when they saw it, but stretched out their hands and looked at Li Changsen eagerly.

Seeing his youngest son and daughter begging for food like puppies, the gloom in Li Changsen's heart was swept away. He first took out four red hair with bells on them from his arms and brought them to Li Wuya, and then took them out of his bag. A package of pastries was given to Li Qilang.

   After getting what they wanted, Li Wuya and Li Qilang both smiled with satisfaction.

  Seeing the youngest daughter holding a headband and gesticulating on her head, Jin Yuee was a little amused: "You, I don't know who you followed, you love dressing up so much?"

  Li Wuya is not ashamed but proud: "I'm a girl, of course girls have to dress up, I dress up beautifully, I'm sure I can catch you a rich husband."

  Li Changsen laughed out loud and rubbed Li Wuya's head: "My five girls have grown up and know how to find a husband for themselves."

  Li Wuya smiled and said seriously: "It will take a few years to find a husband-in-law, but if I meet a good one, I will investigate there first."

   Seeing the youngest daughter's serious answer, Li Changsen and Jin Yue'e couldn't laugh or cry.

  The daughters of the family are not shy when it comes to getting married. Their family is good, they are proactive and active, and they look like they hate getting married.

   Fortunately, the eldest daughter is steady.

  Jin Yue'e looked at Li Erya who was holding the sword and couldn't put it down with satisfaction.

  Li Changsen had to rush back to Dieling Pass, so he couldn't stay longer. After talking with his family for a while, he was about to leave.

   "Father, you are back, so the third brother won't be exempted from military service?"

  Li Changsen nodded: "Of course, don't worry, father will go to Sanlang as soon as he returns to Dieling Pass, and then take him to get rid of his name."

   Immediately, Li Changsen instructed Jin Yuee to ignore Li's family in the future, and then left.

  Before leaving the army station, Li Changsen went to find the head of the station.

   "Uncle Bao, I remember when I was a child, someone in the village said that when my mother was pregnant with me, she went to Rongcheng with my father?"

  The head of the village nodded: "There is such a thing, what's the matter?"

  Li Changsen's expression was a bit gloomy, and he continued to ask: "It is said that my mother was frightened when Beiyan raided Rongcheng. I was born in Rongcheng?"

  Tun Chief nodded again.

  Li Changsen said with some difficulty: "My mother had a difficult labor, but luckily, I met a nobleman who was also frightened into giving birth in the ruined temple, and got help from the nobleman, so I gave birth safely?"

  Hearing this, the head of the village seemed to have thought of something, his expression froze for a while, and he said after a while: "It's like this. When your father came back, he was very happy and told many people about it."

   As he spoke, he paused.

   "Chang Mori, are you suspicious of something?"

  Li Changsen smiled bitterly: "Uncle Bao, when I went to Rongcheng this time, I saw a person who looks very similar to me."

"What?!"

  The head of the village was stunned: "This"

  Li Changsen closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths: "Uncle Bao, I'll be away for a long time. In the future, if those people bully Mrs. Jin and my children, please help me a little more."

  The head of the village nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, I will."

  Li Changsen stood up and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Uncle Bao."

  On the same day, Li Changsen returned to Dieling Pass, and after explaining everything to his boss, he went to find Li Sanlang.

   These days, there are constant wars, and Li Sanlang has been on the battlefield several times.

  Looking at his son who lost his childishness and became resolute, Li Changsen was both happy and distressed: "Go, Dad will take you to the centurion and ask him to cross out your name. You can go home today."

  Li Sanlang moved his lips, he wanted to say that he was willing to go to the battlefield, but seeing his father's worried eyes, he swallowed the words back.

   "What?! Let Saburo go home?"

"no!"

   "Chang Sen, thanks to the fact that you are still the chief of the army, don't you know how tight the war is now? We are just short of people, so how can we let them go?"

   "Okay, I see that Saburo is very skilled, so I must stay."

"But."

   "No, but, even if you go to the commander, or even the general, Saburo will not be able to leave."

   Seeing that Li Changsen still wanted to argue, Li Sanlang quickly pulled him away.

   "Dad, I want to go to the battlefield!"

   "You child. You don't know how dangerous it is on the battlefield. Your mother and your younger brothers and sisters are all waiting for you to go back home."

   "But what can I do when I go back? Or go to the horse farm to let the horses out? Dad, I am fifteen this year, and I want to stay. I have practiced martial arts for so many years, and I also want to make contributions on the battlefield."

  Looking at the expectant eldest son, Li Changsen sighed: "It's not so easy to make contributions. We are from military households, and promotion is much more difficult than others."

  Li Sanlang smiled and said: "But it's not difficult to do anything. At least there is a chance to fight upward on the battlefield, isn't it?"

  Li Changsen still disagrees, no one knows the danger of the battlefield better than him: "But... this requires your life in exchange, dad would rather you be ordinary than have accidents happen to you."

The smile on Li Sanlang's face deepened: "Father, I know you are worried about me, but my son has grown up and has the ability to protect himself. Now, I don't dare to say that I can beat my father, but I can survive the battle. My son can guarantee it."

   "Look, I have been on the battlefield so many times, haven't I been unscathed?"

  Li Changsen was proud of his son's excellence, but he still snorted coldly: "That's because these few battles were all small fights."

Li Sanlang promised again: "Father, don't worry, I will take care of myself." As he said, he raised his hands and clenched his fists, "After these few battles, my son has found that his martial arts has improved a lot. Dad, we are martial arts practitioners. Still need to practice more.”

   Li Changsen agreed with this statement.

  The boss refused to let him go, and Li Sanlang himself wanted to stay in Dieling Pass, so Li Changsen had no choice but to compromise. The only thing he could do was to transfer Li Sanlang to his team so that he could take care of him.

Li Sanlang couldn't come back, except for Jin Yue'e who was more worried, Li Erya, Li Wuya, and Li Qilang were relatively calm, but the number of times they ran to Dieling Pass became more frequent, and they would go there every now and then, either to deliver medicine, or Send food.

  Because they were not at home because of an accident at home last time, Li Wuya no longer brought Li Qilang with her when she went to Tianshan Mountain.

In mid-July, Li Erya and Li Qilang waited at the post station for Li Wuya who came back from Tianshan. The three of them were talking and laughing back to the military village when they suddenly saw an old man in his fifties or sixties in front of a carriage at the gate of the post station. He was looking at them in astonishment.

   No, to be precise, he was looking at Li Wuya.
