Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Li Yunqiao knew of their abilities, but since their return, they hadn’t gone out, nor had they received any government subsidies. Being solitary elderly people, they simply went about their own lives. He thought they wouldn’t get involved, but the unexpected happened.

Along the way, Xing Zhibin told the county director, ”Keep an eye on how these ten people are disciplined. Zhou Qiang’s situation is beyond our control. Wait and see. In the future, keep them in line. I don’t believe they don’t know about the Li Family Village’s affairs.”

”Yes, I understand.”

Wei Kaiyun rode to the township, saw two cars overtake him, and smiled. Who knew such distinguished figures existed in the little Li Family Village? He already found out who these two were. They were individuals who had cleanly stepped down after the nation’s formation and it turned out they hailed from Li Family Village.

Upon reaching the township, he directly sought out Xing Xiangzhang, intending to make a call to the Capital.

He directly dialed the Zhou’s house, courteously informing them that Zhou Qiang was kept by Li Fugui and asking Zhou Changzheng to come over and take Zhou Qiang back home.

The phone was answered by a woman, who hurried off, but Wei Kaiyun held the receiver, listening.

Xing Mingying knew about Zhou Changzheng from the Zhou family. Without him, the Zhou family would be nothing; those below him weren’t particularly capable.

After about five minutes, a hoarse voice came through from the other end.

”Who is this?”

”Hello, I’m from L Province P City Li Family Village.

This call is made because Elder Li Fugui would like to invite you as guests. Also, Zhou Qiang has been staying in our village, waiting for you to take him home.”

Wei Kaiyun spoke eloquently, but the elderly were wise and understood the mannerisms of their children. Thus, Zhou Changzheng immediately realized his grandson had caused trouble with Li Fugui.

”Haha, certainly. Finally, I’m able to catch news of the old chief; I shall set off immediately.”

”Great, our Li Family Village awaits your arrival.”

After hanging up the phone, Wei Kaiyun noticed Xing Mingying watching him with a smile.

”Xiao Wei, what happened here?”

”Zhou Qiang of the Zhou family was at the county inspection unit, and last night took people to raid the farm, and ended up beaten in Li Family Village.

Today, even leaders from the county and city have come.

The ancestor of Li Family Village has emerged, and now Zhou family is coming to retrieve him?”

”Last night?”

”Yes. A female educated youth reported, and Zhou Qiang, without thinking, wanted to achieve some merits, and led people over.”

”Not sure what to say. The village farm wasn’t harmed, was it?”

”He couldn’t enter the farm, as it’s Li Family Village’s lifeline. No one can touch it.”

Xing Mingying nodded. He knew Li Yungui valued the farm greatly and had repeatedly mentioned he hadn’t entered it himself, fearing cleanliness issues might affect the chickens.

”Xing Xiangzhang, I’ll head back; there’s still quite a mess at home.”

”Go ahead, come by if you want to make a call.”

Wei Kaiyun expressed his thanks and biked home, wondering how things were with Old Yang.

The elderly hadn’t left; as the saying goes, ”old child, old child,” initially they didn’t want to come out, but once out, didn’t want to return.

They sat in the house as Zhou Qiang was taken away. The elders said he should be fed one meal a day, as they didn’t have extra food for guests.

Now only the Li Family Brothers and several elders remained.

”Gui Zi, you were impulsive.”

”Granduncle, I truly was too angry at the time.”

”No worries, what’s done is done.”

”Granduncle, how did you know about this?”

”With the commotion last night, how could we not? We didn’t think much of it until your little rascal came to find me.”

I heard you brothers might not handle it well, so I came to check.

The Li Family Brothers knew the elders were right and felt a bit ashamed.

”Granduncle, I’ll try not to be impulsive next time.”

”It’s okay, as long as you’re justified, being slightly impulsive doesn’t hurt.

Xiao Qiao, it’s not easy for you out there, don’t get involved. We’re here.”

”Granduncle, I’m also from Li Family Village.”

”We know, you’ve done well all these years, and we’ve seen your three children; they’re all good.”

Initially, Li Yunqiao thought he’d get scolded, but unexpectedly, it was already considered resolved.

”Alright, you should hurry back too, we’re also leaving.”

”Granduncle, might as well send you some eggs. Actually, there haven’t been fewer eggs; distributing these hundred among you, they can pay for them.”

”You’re being stingy. Saying it’s a hundred fewer is too little.”

Li Yungui nodded in agreement.

”Work well. That young man earlier is capable.”

”No need to send anything; you all go on with your work.”

Li Yungui called Cheng Lin to escort the elders home, but was scolded before they left.

Li Yungui instructed a few children, each carrying thirty eggs to deliver to the six elders.

The brothers waited at home for Cheng Lin, intending to ask him what exactly happened?

”That young man isn’t that perceptive; Xiao Wei and the others probably don’t know about granduncle.”

”We’ll ask Cheng Lin later, won’t we?

How is the pig farm?”

”Today Yun Qiang brought people to light a fire; it’ll take two days for the cement to dry.”

”Confident?”

Li Yungui shook his head, ”I don’t know. Let’s ask, then take a look at the pig farm, just looking at the pigs’ pens should suffice.”

”Alright. After this, remind everyone not to think it’s okay just because they struck him this time. Avoid physical action next time.”

Li Yungui nodded, ”I don’t know how I lost my temper then. I regret it afterward too. What’s the point of getting angry over good days with them?”

Cheng Lin and Hongling returned, all quite honestly.

”Tell me, who taught you to do this?”

Both people lowered their heads, silent, demonstrating their unwillingness to sell out their friends.

Li Yunqiao laughed, ”We’re not investigating fault; we just know you two couldn’t have thought of this way yourselves. Tell us so we can reward them.”

”Uncle, are you serious?”

”Of course, without this method, it wouldn’t have passed so easily.”

The two exchanged glances, ”Really a reward instead of criticism?”

”Certainly, the person who came up with this idea is remarkable.”

”Feifei sure is remarkable. This morning Jianbin asked us two to go over, and Feifei told us if we wanted our dad to face less difficulty, then intercept them on the road; we are kids followed by elders later.

I told Feifei my granduncle fought against devils, Feifei thought that made it simpler.

I went to granduncle and great aunt crying, making it seem serious to get the point across.”

The Li Family Brothers exchanged glances, surprised the idea came from the little girl.
