Chapter 2 Sharpening the Knife

Father-in-law Gao Gensheng was sitting on the threshold smoking a pipe, knocked on the stem of the pipe and got up, went into the house and picked up the kitchen knife brought by Li Yunjiao, sat down on the edge of the whetstone in the yard and began to sharpen the knife.

"Mother, look, even though our third room is separated and lived alone, we can't write two high characters in one stroke. Brother Xing, Lan, and sister are also your grandchildren, so..."

Old Xue's eyelids twitched suddenly, and when he looked at Li Yunjiao, his whole face was almost wrinkled together.

"So what? Mrs. Li, what on earth are you doing here today, just tell me straight, don't beat around the bush."

The little old lady's entire face was covered with the word displeasure, and Li Yun wanted to laugh coquettishly.

"Then I'll tell you clearly, mother. A few days ago, my mother, my sister-in-law and my third sibling asked me to borrow food. When do you think it will be returned? There is no rice in the house, and the children are hungry and waiting for food."

"What?"

When Xue heard this, she almost lost her anger. Where was she going to borrow food that day?Obviously...

There is really no way to say this.

"Mother, look at you, I haven't finished talking yet, so don't worry." Li Yunjiao looked pointedly at the place where old man Gao was sharpening his knife outside the window, her words were clearly threatening, soft and afraid of hard, She is so tough that she is afraid of death, she dares to bring a knife today, and if she can't keep it, she will really dare to cut people.

The rabbit is in a hurry and bites people.

"Repay! Pay it now."

Old Xue gritted his teeth, his back molars itching with hatred, forced out a word between his teeth, and beckoned to the eldest daughter-in-law to bring back the rice grains snatched from the third child's house to Li Yunjiao.

Li Yunjiao led Gao Xing back with half a bag of food on his back, and he didn't forget to ask Brother Xing to carry the kitchen knife before leaving.

There is only one knife at home, so I have to keep it for use!

……

"Mother! Just let Mrs. Li take the food back like this?" Mrs. Xing was not reconciled, and the things she got flew away like this!

Old Xue was not reconciled, but could she say that she was frightened by that woman Li?That would be a shame.

"The third child is also my son. After all, the third family members are also descendants of the Gao family... that's fine, don't mention this matter in the future." I was afraid of losing face when I said it.

The old man took two puffs of his pipe and said, "In the future, don't meddle in the matter of the third room."

He could see that Li's woman had become different, at least she was no longer something that old Xue could easily handle.

Everyone in the old house was dull and silent, but Li Yunjiao's mother and son, who had won the first battle, looked downhearted.

When the two returned home, they found that Gao Lan'er and Xiaobao were both sitting in the yard with cautious expressions on their faces.

"Sister Lan, Bao'er, why are you sitting in the yard?"

Xing Xing put down the food he had carried all the way, looked at Gao Lan'er and asked.

"Mom, brother, dad is back!"

Xiaobao eagerly ran to Li Yunjiao's legs, grabbed Li Yunjiao's clothes, "Mother, mother! You are awake, Xiaobao is afraid of death, where did mother go, Xiaobao didn't see mother when she woke up."

"Little treasure." Gao Bao was just seven years old this year. Li Yunjiao, who had no children in her previous life until her death, saw the soft and waxy little doll, who was just waist-high, and her heart softened.

"Crack!"

The door of the room was pushed open, and a tall and burly man bent over from inside the room, with the corners of his mouth pursed into a line, looking at Li Yunjiao with fiery eyes.

"Lan'er said you took Xing'er to the old house?"

Li Yunjiao recognized this person as her current cheap husband, but couldn't figure out what he meant. Li Yunjiao thought to herself, if she is still in love, it's not impossible to continue living with this person.

If this person is a rotten tree that cannot be carved, then she might as well take the child to get along with him!

"kindness."

Li Yunjiao nodded, and met the other party's tentative gaze without fear.

Gao Dashan suddenly felt that his wife seemed to have changed.

In the past, Li Shi was a shy and introverted person. Even though the two of them have had three children after so many years, Li Shi never dared to look at him.

"Go home and rest, thanks for your hard work."

What kind of temperament his mother is, of course the tall one knows it all too well, there may be some way, a word of filial piety is too big.

After all, it is the person who gave birth to himself, and it is not easy for him to marry a wife and have children.

I also know that Li Shi has suffered a lot of grievances over the years, but he is stupid and doesn't know how to coax others, so he can only try his best to protect the family.

Gao Dashan stepped forward, picked up the grain that Li Yunjiao and Gao Xing had brought back, and put it back into the kitchen. Li Yunjiao looked at it calmly, secretly satisfied.

"are you OK?"

After returning to the house, Gao Dashan choked out a sentence, and it took Li Yunjiao a while to realize that it was about her previous injury.

"It's okay, it's ready."

Gao Dashan nodded, then began to rummage through the box, and finally took out a small wooden box from a hole under the bed.

The corner of Li Yunjiao's mouth twitched, she didn't remember that there was such a thing hidden in the house!

"Mother is getting old, so let her make troubles if she likes, even if there is thunder and rain, I know you have worked hard all these years." After finishing speaking, Gao Dashang opened the wooden box, Li Yunjiao was startled.

Gao Dashan, a man who looks like a big, three rough, and strict, can actually hide private money?

"This……"

Gao Dashan blushed silently, but his skin was dark, so it couldn't be seen much.

"The private money I have secretly saved in the past few years, I will save Xing'er's wife and Lan'er's dowry in the future."

In the past, he didn't tell Mrs. Li, but kept it secretly, because he was afraid that Mrs. Li would be weak and unable to stand up, but now she dared to go to the old house with a kitchen knife to ask for food, so he had nothing to hide.

……

Gao Dashan left early the next morning, and left in a hurry. Last night, the two had nothing to say, back to back, and Li Yunjiao didn't sleep a wink all night.

At first, Gao Dashang was a little dishonest, and his rough palm stretched out from under the quilt to touch Li Yunjiao's waist. Li Yunjiao was taken aback, and muttered something about being tired and wanting to sleep, Gao Dashang took a heavy breath, and became honest again.

Li Yunjiao didn't fall into a drowsy sleep until dawn, her mind was wandering, how could she start from scratch and become rich!

Before noon, Brother Xing came back from collecting firewood, put a handful of green plums in his back basket, and brought them back to Sister Lan and Xiao Baoer for a dental offering.

Li Yunjiao looked at it and immediately took care of it.

In the previous life, Li Yunjiao's grandfather liked to have a drink with nothing to do. He especially loved ancient wines. He also collected a lot of recipes for wine making.

Li Yunjiao intends to make wine, but she doesn't know if this method will work.

Simply give it a try and see how it works!

Li Yunjiao asked Brother Xing to take her there, picked the small piece of green plum fruit and brought back a big basket full, sealed it with a jar using a secret method, and buried it in the yard.

And wait to see how it turns out.
