1968: At the beginning, the beautiful sister-in-law came to borrow food! Chapter 034

“My son!”

“How could you just be gone like this!”

“I haven’t even held my grandson yet!”

Li Yunfeng and Shufen had just arrived at Zhao Jianguo’s house.

They heard Zhao Jianguo’s elderly mother wailing at the door.

Zhao Jianguo’s brother was constantly beating a basin.

This was to inform the villagers that someone in their family had passed away.

Everyone needed to come and help. In the village, for joyous occasions, you had to invite people for them to come.

But for funerals, there was no need to invite; those who could help had to come quickly.

Even if there was enmity, death cleared all debts, and they had to come and help.

“Who found my son dead first?”

“How did my son die?”

After crying for a while, the old woman turned her head and asked everyone.

“I found him first. Today, my sister and I.”

“And Old Mrs. Li and Aunt Li were helping at Li Yunfeng’s house to make cotton quilts.”

“After we finished making the quilts, I had just brought back the roasted duck when I found my man had no breath.”

Shuhua wiped her tears and told her mother-in-law.

No matter how foolish, Shuhua would never say that she had angered her husband to death.

After all, if she really said that, the Old Zhao family would not let her go.

“Helping you make cotton quilts, huh?”

The old woman, upon hearing Shuhua’s words, turned her head and stared directly at Li Yunfeng.

“What do you mean?”

Seeing the old woman’s direct gaze, it was clear that she did not intend to let this matter rest.

Li Yunfeng also frowned, looking at the old woman.

“How are you talking to my mother?”

“Yeah, how are you talking to my mother?”

“Can you be more polite when you speak?”

The old woman’s sons, hearing Li Yunfeng’s impolite tone.

All the brothers came to the old woman’s side, looking at Li Yunfeng with ill intent.

“What’s wrong?”

“Should I kneel down and kowtow to you?”

“What’s wrong with helping my family make cotton quilts?”

“Speak up?”

“What’s wrong with making cotton quilts? There were several people, and I even gave a roasted duck, so it wasn’t free help.”

“What’s wrong? Your son died, and you want to extort me, is that it?”

Li Yunfeng was also not polite; he took the double-barreled shotgun from Shuhua.

And loaded the bullets.

“Hey, Brother Yunfeng, it’s not worth it, it’s not worth it!”

Mao Luzi saw Li Yunfeng’s face fall.

He quickly walked to Li Yunfeng’s side and stopped him.

He just stood in front of Li Yunfeng.

“Zhao Liushi!”

“I’m telling you, Li Yunfeng is my brother.”

“Your Old Zhao family always relies on having more people and looks down on everyone.”

“Our Old Li family is not bad either.”

“This is our Production Team Five, not your Team Two.”

“If you make a fuss in our Team Five, we can just fight it out.”

Mao Luzi stood in front of Li Yunfeng, also staring at Zhao Liushi with anger.

The Red Flag Production Team was originally established on the foundation of Lijia Village.

They were the original residents of Lijia Village, which was the fifty-odd households Li Yunfeng had distributed meat to before.

Later, after the production teams were established, for convenience of management, several surrounding villages were incorporated into Lijia Village, eventually becoming the Red Flag Production Team.

Before, the entire Lijia Village was interrelated; for example, Mao Luzi’s mother, Aunt Li, was Tiedan’er’s aunt.

Tiedan’er’s mother was Erleng’s maternal aunt and was a blood sister to Aunt Wang.

Later, after people from other villages joined Lijia Village, those with more male members naturally spoke more assertively.

They also had more say, and there were more or less some frictions between the two sides.

“Who wants to fight with our Old Li family?”

Mao Luzi’s words had just fallen when, outside the door, Mao Luzi’s grandfather.

That is, the captain of the Red Flag Production Team, walked in from outside, smoking a pipe.

Following him were four or five men, all from Mao Luzi’s family.

“No one wants to fight!”

“No one wants to fight!”

Originally, Old Mrs. Zhao had thought of using Shuhua helping Li Yunfeng make cotton quilts as an excuse.

To extort some money from Li Yunfeng, she knew that Li Yunfeng was an educated youth from Sijiu City.

He had bought a lot of things these past few days and had even distributed meat to the people in Team Five.

This made Old Mrs. Zhao very unbalanced, especially now that Li Yunfeng and her daughter-in-law lived next door.

They could meet just by opening a door from the cliff behind.

“Alright, stop talking nonsense.”

“Quickly put an old set of clothes on your son!”

“After the old clothes are put on, set up a mourning hall outside.”

“Let his brothers keep vigil for three days!”

“During these three days, your Old Zhao family must quickly buy a coffin for your son.”

The captain took a couple of puffs from his pipe, said to Zhao Liushi, and then turned and walked outside with his people.

Originally, they wanted to come and help, but since Mao Luzi had stepped forward.

Then this enmity was formed. It was just that Zhao Jianguo had passed away now.

Everyone would not bring this matter to the surface.

They could only settle it later.

“Jinx!”

“Quickly get money for my son’s coffin!”

While Li Yunfeng and the others had not yet left, the old woman again turned her gaze to Shuhua.

“No, where is this old woman from?”

“Is she a local?”

Li Yunfeng asked Mao Luzi with a puzzled expression.

“Bah!”

“What local, what local.”

“She was a Manchu back then; it was only because she was old.”

“And had given birth to children for Old Zhao that everyone let her go.”

“We don’t care about their family’s business, whose son or daughter dies!”

Mao Luzi said, leading his brothers out.

“Mom, where am I going to get money to buy a coffin for Jianguo!”

“All the money at home was with Jianguo. This year, when the grain was distributed, only some grain was given.”

“Didn’t you say the rest was with you, and you were helping to save it?”

Shuhua said to the old woman with a bitter face.

“Alright, Zhao Liushi, is it?”

“I’ll give you ten yuan, and from now on, this daughter-in-law of yours will no longer belong to your family.”

Li Yunfeng walked over at this moment, pulled out ten yuan from his pocket, and waved it in front of Zhao Liushi.

“Ten yuan?”

“At least fifty yuan!”

“My daughter-in-law is so pretty!”

“Ten yuan is not as good as just going with my old son.”

“Exactly, my old son likes her very much.”

Zhao Liushi, hearing that Li Yunfeng actually wanted to give her ten yuan to take her daughter-in-law away.

With a flick of her fleshy face, she directly demanded fifty yuan.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk!”

“Hey?”

“Fifty yuan, do you even know what fifty yuan looks like?”

“Can your family even produce fifty yuan?”

“You old hag, just wait. Tomorrow, I’ll go to the commune’s Women’s Federation to report you.”

“I want to see if the Women’s Federation will deal with an old fossil like you, still selling your own daughter-in-law.”

Erlengzi, who was standing at the door watching the commotion, also walked out, smoking a cigarette.

He stared at Zhao Liushi with a smile and asked.
