Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum

Chapter 64: Poor mountains and rivers bring out unruly people

A few years ago, when Jiang Jiang first married into the Li family, Li Dafu's family conditions were quite good. The family had more than ten acres of fertile land and more than ten acres of dry land, which was enough to support a scholar. However, Li Dafu was spoiled since he was a child, and he did not learn well at a young age and developed the bad habit of gambling.

Even if you have mountains of gold and silver at home, it is not enough for gambling, let alone these dozen acres of land.

Only when she personally arrived at her neighbor's house did she discover that the house was even more shabby than she had imagined.

The yard was empty with nothing in it except for a few dying vegetable seedlings. They must have not been watered for several days.

There was nothing there, not a bench, not a table, not a hoe. It could only be described in four words - bare bones.

Li Dafu's house had no kitchen. He only had a mud stove and a broken clay pot, and not even an iron pot.

Li Sheng stared at the clay pot for several times, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. Finally, he pulled Li Xu's sleeve and whispered, "Is this the clay pot that was hit by the beam? We left it in the yard at the time, and I don't know who took it away."

Now the case has finally been solved.

As soon as Jiang Jiang and his companions walked into the yard, someone close to them came to greet them.

"Li Xu's mother, you're here? I heard that you recently set up a stall in town to sell sweet soup. How's business?"

The person who was speaking was Li Qiao, the aunt of Li Xu and Li Sheng. Her husband was a cousin of the original owner's husband. She was a kind-hearted person, but a bit gossipy. Nothing big or small in the village could escape her mouth.

Rather than letting the villagers make wild guesses and eventually spread the story more and more outrageous, Jiang Jiang felt that it would be better to explain the matter clearly, so she used the same trick she used to fool the village chief.

"Didn't I just meet my distant relative? He's in the ice business, so I just hooked up with him and bought ice at a slightly lower price than the market price. I just opened a dessert shop and earned some hard-earned money. Next time you come to town, I'll treat you to some dessert. We're all from the same village."

Jiang Jiang's words sound nice, at least they make people around him feel comfortable. But in fact, most people would not take advantage of others so easily, otherwise they would be criticized by the villagers.

The villagers were poor, and those who had a few cents in their pockets would rather buy some coarse grains and have a full meal than use it to buy a bowl of ice sweet water, which would be gone after drinking it.

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more interested in listening, Jiang Jiang immediately changed the topic to Li Dafu's family.

"We went to town today and heard from Sister Chunhua that something happened to Li Dahai. What happened?"

Sure enough, Li Qiao's attention was immediately diverted. When it comes to the knowledge of gossip information, she can confidently say that she is at least among the top three in the village.

She said excitedly, "This Li Dafu is really a piece of shit. He squandered all his family fortune when he was young. It is said that the village chief and the elders wanted to expel him from Daxi Village at that time. It was only after Yaya's mother knelt down and begged the village chief and the elders that he stayed in our village."

"That's right. It's a pity that Yaya's mother died early, and no one took care of Li Dahai. He was either stealing or fooling around all day. Now something's wrong."

Li Qiao was unhappy when she saw someone interrupting her, so she immediately used her big move.

"Then do you know what happened to Li Dahai this time?"

Everyone shook their heads, waiting to hear what Li Qiao would say next.

Li Qiao was happy to see that no one interrupted her this time.

"I heard that Li Dahai was a gambler in town and borrowed money from others. Now he has been taken back. They said that if he doesn't pay, his hands will be chopped off."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the aunts in the village had something to say.

"How come Li Dahai is just like Li Dafu, only knows how to gamble."

"I don't know which casino it is. I didn't ask around. Li Dahai's family is broke, but they still lent him money."

"They are poor, but they still have a daughter. Although Li Yaya is pale and thin, she looks 70% like her mother. You can tell she is pretty."

At this point, the aunts all booed.

If this is true, then Li Yaya is a miserable child.

Her father wanted to sell her to support his old age, and her brother wanted to sell her to pay off his debts.

As they were talking, a loud noise came from the room. Jiang Jiang followed Li Qiao and lay down at the door to look inside.

Li Dafu, Li Dahai and Li Yaya were all in the room. Sitting next to them were the village chief and two clan elders. Jiang Jiang did not recognize the two people standing in the middle.

One of them raised his fist towards Li Dahai and said viciously: "No matter what you say today, it is only natural to pay back the debt. Either pay the money back today so that we can report back. Otherwise, you can use your sister to pay off the debt and we can give you a few months' grace. Otherwise, you can only keep an arm and a leg."

Li Dahai was beaten so badly that his face was bruised and swollen, and he couldn't speak clearly. When he heard what the casino people said, he immediately panicked.

He looked at Li Dafu for help. Li Dafu turned his head silently. Then he prayed to the village chief and the elders.

"Uncle Li, please save me. I am still so young, I can't be disabled like this."

Li Shuming was also having a headache. It was Li Dahai's fault. Why did he choose to learn from his father and gamble like him? He got into trouble and now he thought of the village.

And the young people in these two casinos are so ignorant of the immensity of the world. Do they think that they can come and go as they please in Daxi Village?

Li Shuming cleared his throat and said, "You two, can you please give me some face? We need to learn more about Li Dahai's affairs and we will definitely give you an explanation."

Perhaps because he was used to being domineering, one of the young men frowned, casually pulled out a knife from his waist, and played with it in his hand.

"Old man, what? You want to help him? It's very simple. Just pay back the twenty taels of silver he owes, and we two brothers will leave immediately."

Twenty taels of silver?

Li Dahai opened his swollen eyes in horror. Didn't he only lose fifteen taels of silver? How did it suddenly become twenty taels of silver?

For a moment, everyone was silent.

You can ask Li Dahai for money, but you dare to threaten the village chief and the elders. Are you tired of living?

The villagers went home, took their kitchen knives and hoes, and surrounded Li Dafu's house.

The two young men, who had never seen such a scene, panicked. The one who had the knife just now threw it to the ground, raised his hands, and smiled apologetically: "Don't get excited, don't get excited, we are just here to look for Li Dahai's family."

"You two should go now. Come back to ask Li Dahai for money later. We have some other things to deal with in the village today."

As Li Shuming spoke, the villagers raised their kitchen knives and hoes, ready to fight if they disagreed.

The two men in the casino suddenly felt that it was a wrong decision to take Li Dahai back home to ask for money. Under the threat of force from the villagers, the two men had to agree reluctantly and left in disgrace.

Seeing the two people leave, Li Dahai, who had saved his arm and leg, immediately became happy.

"Village Chief, you guys are awesome!"

"Get down on your knees! You beast!"
