Siheyuan: Incredible understanding and superb cooking skills

After some negotiation, the new agreement was carefully written. In the small shop at the entrance of the village, the moment when both parties signed and put their fingerprints on it was not only the establishment of a contract, but also a beacon of hope for the future of the villagers, showing the power of education and progress. In Du Xiaotao's view, this is a step she has taken to protect the growth of children in the village and promote the development of the village, although it is difficult and long.

This is not only her responsibility to her children, but also her efforts as a member of the community to build the future of her hometown. In this process, friendship and cooperation have become the most powerful support. With the joint promotion of the village chief, the Jiao family and the villagers, Du Xiaotao's decision shines with positivity and tenacity in the eyes of the villagers.

From then on, a new fire of hope began to ignite in this small village, leading the villagers to pursue a better life and more opportunities.

Li Xiaoming lined up the shared bikes neatly before picking up the key to open his own iron gate. "Why haven't you come home yet so late?" His mother was waiting at home for a short time because of work, and she didn't show any worry.

Li Ming's mother had just returned from work. "Is your father out again?" When her two sons and one daughter were not at home, her vigilance gradually decreased and she no longer worried about hearing news that she shouldn't hear.

Li Ming's mother sat on the sofa and asked, "Son, when will your father bring our Xiaoli home?" This was to ensure that everything was prepared.

"No rush, let's wait until after Ming Xiaonian's high school entrance exam. In this way, she will nominally become your family, but we can say that she is studying abroad and is attracted to the outside world and can't come back. Others will definitely believe this."

After receiving the admission notice, she can use the four-year tuition and daily expenses to earn more money. In this way, the girl she raised with great effort will not have worked in vain.

At first, Li Xiaoming may have still had a bit of motherly warmth for her child in her heart, but as she had more brothers and sisters, her emotions gradually faded.

The children of father Li Dabao, especially the mentally retarded child Li Zhi, drooled and preferred to eat hair. As his only child, his mother could only plan for the rest of her life and think about the future.

Considering that the grandson may follow in his father's footsteps, the purpose of finding a smart daughter-in-law is to hope that the grandson can inherit his father's talent. And Chen Xiaoli, who is recognized as an excellent learner among the crowd, is undoubtedly a smart person in the eyes of everyone.

Therefore, it is not surprising that in this situation people would take out the money they have saved for a lifetime as a bride price.

After listening to Li Xiaoming's words, his mother agreed with him. She calmed down. "Since we have already agreed, don't regret it."

She said that she would not mind waiting one more year, and that Xiaoli was not only intelligent but also beautiful. If her future grandson was like her, she would be able to live a peaceful life in the future.

"Who doesn't want to covet gold, silver and other valuables?" Li Xiaoming replied.

Her mother glared at her and said, "Who knows if you will regret it when I find you a more respectable man?" She took out a yellow paper and said solemnly, "I will swear to Wong Tai Sin that I will marry the girl from the Zhang family to you."

"Those who breach the contract will be punished by Wong Tai Sin." When mentioning the punishment, his tone became cold and stern, as if there was something eerie in the cold wind.

When Li Xiaoming heard the name "Wong Tai Sin", he could not help but shudder. Everyone in the village knew about Wong Tai Sin. Once someone accidentally offended him and was beaten with sticks, and then his family died mysteriously within a few months. The scene of their death was extremely cruel and terrifying, and even the police could not find out **. Since then, the villagers have avoided weasels without any explanation when they see them, and they are even afraid of angering them for revenge. It is said that they are very fussy and vindictive.

Many people sought his help in offering sacrifices and were convinced that it was extremely effective. Therefore, after learning of this bloody title, Li Xiaoming was filled with fear and subconsciously shrank his body.

Then she noticed her eyes fell on the old lady who handed her the yellow paper. "If you are willing to sign this commitment, please accept the 20,000 yuan in cash."

After being stunned, Li Yiwen hurried to ask his aunt about the details of something, raised his doubts in a roundabout way, and then returned with a very complicated expression.

Back then, Du Xiaoli married into a wealthy family for many years, but she had no children to carry on the family line, and was often ridiculed by her parents-in-law. Later, she and her cousin went to a foreign country, and a few years later brought back a child named Wanting, claiming that she was a baby girl born in a foreign country. For fear of her aunt's doubts, the matter was never made public, and her family did not have any doubts about it. Wanting looked sweet and lovely when she was a child. Although her aunt felt lost about Wanting's gender, she developed a deep affection for her over time and took care of her like her own granddaughter.

It was not until this moment that Li Yiwen suddenly realized that Wanting might be a person who was trafficked and returned to her family.

The confusion about this matter is: "Why did my cousin choose to buy a baby girl? Is it just because the cost of a baby girl is lower?" Li Yiwen had this question in his mind.

Qin Su gave another perspective: "This may be because they are worried that if they succeed in giving birth to a son, the baby girl will have an impact on the son who will take over in the future; on the contrary, the baby girl can help train the future heir." Her face showed a playful look, and her sarcastic words seemed to reveal the inner voice of the female group, that they think women should be judged most harshly.

From childhood to adulthood, Li Yiwen has always been disgusted with Du Xiaoli. Du Xiaoli always set up traps to induce her aunt to sell her out. On this issue, her aunt and Xiaoli had less and less contact until they broke off contact.

"Let Wan Ting know about this first. No, let Luo Yuan know about this change first. This is the key."

In fact, Zhang Wanting’s real name is Luo Yuan. The hidden story behind this identity makes Li Yiwen’s heart churn like the tide.

"I have found your biological parents."

Qin Su pointed it out in one sentence.

Luo Yuan's body trembled slightly, and fear gradually emerged in her eyes. This was not just the surprise when she just heard the shocking news, but the real fear deep in her heart.

Qin Su noticed it keenly and immediately raised a question: "Have you known about this for a while?"

Luo Yuan lowered her eyes and her voice trembled slightly: "One night, I talked about this topic with my parents, and then my mother confessed it."

She took a deep breath and then said, "I don't want to meet. I think my current life is very satisfying."

"Even during these years, your relatives have never stopped searching for your disappearance? Have they even thought about adopting new children?" Qin Su asked.

Hearing this, Luo Yuan looked up in shock, her eyes were empty as if she was in another world, "Wasn't my parents just abandoning me on the street?"

"Who told you?" Qin Su frowned and asked, "I only know that you were separated from me by accident when you were three years old, and your parents' search has not stopped. Until now, they still keep a space specially reserved for finding their daughter as a memory."

Unfortunately, Qin Su was unable to capture a photo of that important moment. If possible, she would definitely share it with Xie Yuan to give her a glimpse of the details.

Luo Yuan's eyes moistened. "At that time, my mother explained to me that I was abandoned by my biological parents on a winter night, but fortunately I was picked up by her. If she hadn't rescued me in time, I might have been buried in the snow."

To her mother, Luo Yuan was not an ideal child. She was responsible for most of the daily housework and occasionally directed her anger at Luo Yuan. However, for herself, as an abandoned child, she found a place of refuge here. Luo Yan was always grateful. Even though her life was full of dissatisfaction, she still cherished and thanked the mother who gave her the light of life.

He also always believed in what he said and had no expectations of his biological parents. Sometimes in the middle of the night, he would occasionally think of a gentle couple playing with him. He thought it was just a fantasy in a dream.

Qin Xue sneered, trying to make Luo Yuan devote his life to the Zhang family and make him feel deeply grateful to the Zhang family. Obviously, this was a brilliant chess game designed by Du Tao.

She looked straight at Luo Yuan and said in a calm and serious tone, "She was very close to you and was a treasure in your heart. After you separated, the couple felt extremely regretful and painful, and they have been silently searching for your whereabouts."

Then she said, "When you meet them, everything will be clear to you."

Luo Yuan was moved by this emotion from the beginning to the end. She looked at her with a slight redness in her eyes. It turned out that she was not an abandoned child as she imagined, but a baby being caressed. The two days of getting along with her had given her a deeper understanding of Luo Yuan's character.

Qin Xue noticed that Luo Yuan was a person of perseverance and hard work. He was also affectionate and kind. Although the Zhang family might not be very tolerant of her, there was still some emotional connection to the family's kindness. Even if she returned with Professor Xie, she would definitely give something back.

Therefore, she planned to make the situation more complicated. She didn't want Luo Yuan to be easily moved by emotions, but needed to look at the whole situation more clearly. Now, Du Tao planned to keep Luo Yuan until she married into the Jiao family next year. This made it impossible to take actions that might cause doubts in a short period of time. When Professor Xie came, Du Tao didn't dare to act rashly, but would actively show goodwill to the Xie family to obtain more resources.

Since the time was not yet ripe, Qin Xue chose to use this gap to intervene in advance. She already had a strategy.

When night fell, Qin Xue left Xia Ri's house in stealth and began to look for the so-called "Zhuang Daoist Priest" she mentioned. She opened her spiritual consciousness and searched step by step, and also released an assistant nicknamed "Qian Jinzi" to search other villages.

In the end, it was the "Zi" named Qianjinzi who first entered the field of vision and found the yellow rat monster. The monster was surrounded by a circle of power of faith. It was obviously using the power of faith to improve its realm and was controlled by Qianjinzi.
