Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 743 Decision

Li Yungui tried to control the proud expression on his face, but how could he manage that?

Xing Xiangzhang pointed at Li Yungui from a distance with a smile, "During the harvest, I’ll come over and take a look."

"Great, Xing Xiangzhang. We’ve already planted wheat in our watermelon field. I checked this morning, and it’s sprouting. I reckon you can come and see the difference between mechanical and manual sowing."

"Alright, I’ll inform the village heads to come and see it. Let’s schedule it for Saturday."

"Good."

Xing Xiangzhang looked at Li Yungui’s beaming smile and fully understood his intentions. It’s a good thing; it’s not a problem when someone is willing to pay.

"Xing Xiangzhang, I’m heading back to oversee the building of the factory. With Xiao Wei around, it will definitely be built reasonably."

"Good, I’ll handle your report for you. Don’t worry, it’ll definitely be fine."

"Thank you, Xing Xiangzhang."

After leaving Xing Xiangzhang’s office, Li Yungui went to the supply and marketing cooperative. He needed to buy things to take home as his family had asked.

Even though his wife isn’t stingy, with three nieces and nephews eating at home, he still has to give them good food.

He bought the salt and sugar his wife wanted and carried them on his shoulder.

His wife cares about him and didn’t ask him to buy too much, saying it should be enough for the next few days. Soon he should go to the city in Chaoyang District to buy more salt, which is also needed for pickling vegetables.

He arrived at the clinic and saw Yu Guiying and her mother laughing and talking.

"Second Uncle, are you done? Have you eaten? There’s still sugar buns."

"I’ve eaten, Guiying. That’s how it should be; life is something we create. There’s nothing we can’t get through."

"Second Uncle, I’ve finally figured it out this time. But tomorrow the police from the station are coming to our village."

Li Yungui nodded, "We can talk here conveniently. What exactly do you two want? What’s the final outcome you wish for?"

Li Changjiang and his wife hadn’t really thought about it and looked at Li Yungui with some confusion.

"I don’t mean to side with Li Laoshu and his wife. Let me offer my thoughts, and you can see if they make sense."

"Second Uncle, go ahead. You are more experienced and have thought more things through than us."

Li Yungui waved his hand, "You see, no matter what, they are Changjiang’s parents. Even if this time they are punished and the old lady is taken away, if they refuse to split the family because of this, you’ll still have headaches dealing with them.

Guiying has suffered a lot. The old lady might be sentenced, but she won’t be locked up for long. When she returns, you will still have to live in the same yard. Where wouldn’t there be conflicts?

You’ll still get angry. You two are still young, and you’ll need good days that are decided by you two. Being stubborn with them won’t benefit you.

So what do you two ultimately want?

Of course, if Guiying really can’t swallow this, then let the public affairs handle it."

The couple stared at Li Yungui. They understood what he said.

"Second Uncle, I ultimately want to break away from them."

"Guiying, your thinking is correct. Then, soon, Changjiang should go to the police station with me. The police are visiting tomorrow, so let’s inform them in advance. Tell them your ultimate purpose, so they know how to handle it.

Also, Guiying, you don’t need to feel dissatisfied. The community’s gossip can drown them. In the future, your little brothers and sisters-in-law will have marriage issues.

So it’s better to break away from them. Don’t worry, the brigade will certainly vouch for you. Changjiang started earning full work points from age thirteen, and Guiying came here and earned the highest points among the women.

Over the years, how much money you’ve spent for your family of four is apparent to everyone. You definitely won’t lose out."

The couple felt reassured. "Thank you, Second Uncle, otherwise, we’d be making a fuss for nothing."

"I see how things have been hard for you four. You previously didn’t make a fuss, and were willing. Others couldn’t say anything."

The couple understood; they were tightly squeezed before, so others naturally wouldn’t stir things up, as it would make them enemies.

Li Yungui put down the items and went to the police station with Li Changjiang.

They explained the situation to the police officer.

Actually, it’s unreasonable, but that’s how it is now. The police station doesn’t have major cases, mostly dealing with trivial matters.

The police could understand their resolution.

"We’ll need to trouble the police officer to make a trip."

"No problem, it’s my job. It’s a chance to warn the villagers."

Li Changjiang didn’t expect the police to be so cooperative.

On the way back, he questioned.

"They’ve seen many things, and besides, we’re all from the same place. Making things easier for the weak, they are willing."

"Second Uncle, do you think I can move out?"

"Why not? You’re a grown man; how can you be so weak? Living together inevitably causes friction. On one side are your parents, and on the other side are your wife and kids. Aren’t you uncomfortable being caught in the middle?"

"Uncomfortable, but building a house requires a lot of money." Li Changjiang worries about this. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Why don’t you have a firm mind? You’ve been working for so many years, don’t you have money?"

"I gave it all to my mom."

"What’s splitting the family about? I’ve said that the brigade will vouch for both of you. If you keep this up, your wife and kids might leave you." Li Yungui said, disappointed. But he couldn’t speak too boldly, otherwise, if the word got out, what would he become?

It’s up to the couple themselves. If they can figure it out, the brigade will definitely support them. If not, there’s nothing to do. He’s given his advice, and that’s as far as it goes.

Li Changjiang scratched his head, something flashed by, but he couldn’t grasp it.

The town was small, and once inside the clinic, Li Yungui took Ga Zi back home.

Li Changjiang relayed the police station details and Li Yungui’s words to his wife.

"I understand what Second Uncle meant. We’ve worked for years, and if we want to split up and build a house, your dad has to give the money. That’s what we earned; raising them will be a future problem. Here, we pay for the elderly over sixty. Our family of four will barely eat that much money."

Li Changjiang swallowed his saliva, "So you mean asking my folks for money."

"That’s our money. Why should I feed those beasts? I’d rather burn it or give it to the dogs than give them."

"Alright, I see. How much should we ask for?"

"Second Uncle said you started earning full points at thirteen. It’s been thirteen years. Even if they only gave us twenty bucks a year, that’s two hundred and sixty, right?

I’ve been here seven years; asking for one hundred is reasonable, right?"

"So that’s three hundred and sixty?"

"Yes, that’s the amount we’ll ask for."
