In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 110 Are you really talking about my sister?

"You daring Li."

Li Qiang pointed at Li Dadan, not minding his attitude, and continued, "I really brought you something good this time!"

As he spoke, Li Qiang gestured for Li Mu to hand the bags he was carrying to Li Dadan, and said, "This time, your sister asked me to bring you some grain. I just weighed it and I estimate that there are about fifty catties of flour in each bag."

"Did my sister ask you to bring this?"

Li Dadan opened the bags and was immediately stunned to find that both bags were filled with white flour.

Not only Li Dadan, but even Feng Xiang, who had just walked from the bedroom to the living room, stood there dumbfounded, unable to come to her senses for a while.

These are two large bags of flour! Where did Li Ping get so much grain?

"It was your sister who asked me to bring it."

Li Qiang explained with a smile, "I just went to Chenjia Village with Xiao Mu. These two bags of flour were given to us by your sister herself, and she asked me to bring them to you and your second brother."

"Correct!"

Li Mu chimed in, "Brother Bold, let me tell you, your sister's family is living a really good life now. They eat white flour steamed buns every meal. They even treated us to white flour steamed buns just now!"

The more Li Qiang and Li Mu talked, the more shocked Li Dadan and Feng Xiang became. They couldn't help but wonder if the two were talking about their sister, Li Ping.

My sister Li Ping is a widow. How could she have the ability to live such a good life, serving guests white flour buns and casually giving away 100 jin of white flour?

"village head……"

Li Dadan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Are you really talking about my sister, Li Ping?"

"Who else could it be but Li Ping?"

Li Qiang laughed and said, "Besides Li Ping, who else in Chenjia Village would send so much grain to you, Li Dadan?"

"..."

Li Dadan thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. Apart from Li Ping, no one in the entire Chenjia Village would send him, Chen Dadan, grain.

"Brother Bold, let me tell you, Sister Ping's son, Dao Ge'er, is really something!"

Li Mu continued, "I heard he made a lot of money in business, enough to feed his family white flour buns every day, and he's even helping the villagers of Chenjia Village pay this tax increase!"

"what?!"

Li Dadan and Feng Xiang felt their heads were buzzing. They ate only white flour steamed buns every day and even paid taxes for the entire Chenjia Village...

Damn it, is Li Mu really talking about our sister? Or is he talking about some landlord?

A full quarter of an hour passed before Li Dadan and Feng Xiang reluctantly accepted that Li Ping had become successful, and after accepting it, they were filled with immense joy.

They were just worried about Li Ping's situation when they received good news about her.

This brought a look of ecstatic joy to Chen Dadan's face. He was relieved to hear that his sister was doing well.

Feng Xiang also showed a happy expression. To be fair, she had treated her sister-in-law Li Ping quite well. Now that her sister-in-law had become successful, she certainly wouldn't forget her. The 100 jin of flour that her sister-in-law sent was the best proof of that.

"You've really gone all out this time, haven't you?"

Li Qiang said with no small amount of envy, "50 jin of wheat flour is enough for your family to eat for several days!"

Based on the calculation that an adult consumes two jin of white flour per day, Li Dadan's family consists of three people including his child. 50 jin of white flour would be enough to feed them for at least ten days.

Of course, this is not what Li Qiang envies the most. What Li Qiang envies the most is the relationship between Li Dadan and Li Ping. Now that Li Ping's family is so wealthy, she certainly won't forget Li Dadan, who has always helped her in the past.

In other words, Li Dadan will definitely not have to go hungry anymore, and even the issue of increasing taxes will not be a problem for him. After all, Chen Dao has already paid the taxes for the villagers of Chenjia Village, so how could he forget his uncle Li Dadan?

"hey-hey!"

Li Dadan chuckled憨厚ly. He didn't think as much as Li Qiang, but the 100 jin of white flour in front of him still made him very happy. With this white flour, his children wouldn't have to cry about being hungry all the time.

Seeing Li Dadan's silly grin, Li Qiang felt extremely annoyed and decided not to stay at Li Dadan's house any longer. He got up and left.

After Li Qiang left, Feng Xiang couldn't wait to grab a handful of flour, letting it slip through her fingers like quicksand back into the bag: "How dare you! It seems your sister has really struck it rich this time. I've never eaten such good flour more than a few times in my life."

Feng Xiang was exaggerating. While white flour was indeed a rare commodity for ordinary people, it was something they could occasionally afford to eat a few times during good years. It wasn't so rare that they would never get to eat it more than a few times in their entire lives.

"hey-hey!"

Li Dadan still had that silly grin on his face. Knowing that Li Ping was doing well, his smile never stopped. Of course, the white flour in front of him was also one of the reasons for his good mood.

"How dare you! What kind of business is your sister running? There are so many people in Chenjia Village. How much money does it cost her to pay taxes for everyone?"

"How would I know!"

Li Dadan scratched his head. For someone who had never even seen a single tael of silver, calculating how much tax money was needed to pay for the entire Chenjia Village was somewhat difficult.

Fortunately, Li Dadan was an open-minded person and did not delve into the matter. He simply said to Feng Xiang, "Wife, put away one bag of flour first, and I'll take the remaining bag to my second brother."

"Okay! Go and come back quickly, we'll have noodles for dinner tonight."

"it is good!"

So Li Dadan picked up a bag and went out the door, heading straight for his second brother Li Feng's house.

The two houses were not far apart. After walking less than a hundred meters, Li Dadan arrived at Li Feng's door and knocked on the door with his fingers.

When the door was knocked on, Li Feng and his wife Luo Xiu were looking at the rice jar with furrowed brows.

Behind the two men was their daughter.

Li Feng's daughter, Li Jin, is already fifteen years old, but she is... extremely thin and small, only about 1.5 meters tall, with an incredibly emaciated figure, somewhat dry and yellow hair, and deeply sunken eye sockets. She has absolutely nothing to do with the idiom "young and beautiful girl."

The reason for this situation is quite simple: in the Xia Kingdom, the vast majority of ordinary people are starving. Even in years of good harvest, they can only afford to eat staple grains and some wild vegetables. As for meat, they are lucky to eat it once a year.

After the cold disaster swept through, life became increasingly difficult for the people. They couldn't get enough staple food, couldn't find wild vegetables, and couldn't eat meat for several years. This led to the vast majority of people being malnourished. Li Feng's daughter was no exception. Long-term malnutrition prevented her from gaining weight, let alone growing taller.
