As soon as Li Wenyou and Li Daguang left, Aunt Hu hurried into the yard with Qing'er.

"Qing'er, I heard something. You made great contributions in the ancestral hall last night. Isn't it true?"

"Zu Niang, what is the ancestral hall?" Qing'er was even more anxious than her grandmother, and asked desperately pulling her grandmother's clothes.

Li Yanqing squatted down and said to her with a smile: "Qing'er, the ancestral hall is a place for burning incense and offerings. You have to kowtow during the Chinese New Year, so do you have it at home!"

"Is it a place to put cards?"

"By the way, it's there. Many people's cards are put together, and they are called ancestral halls."

Qing'er clapped her hands and smiled, "I understand. There must be a lot of delicious food. Did the cakes that the second brother gave me to me get from the ancestral hall?"

Li Yanqing's back was immediately scared and sweaty, and the little girl told the truth.

He hurriedly explained: "No, my dad bought that small cake from the white-bearded grandfather in the town. I specially left a piece for you."

Aunt Hu felt enlightened, but the clan leader came here today, because Qing'er made a contribution last night.

"Qing'er, do you want to call your father back?"

"No need for this, auntie, I want to discuss something with you."

Aunt Hu touched his head and smiled, "Tell me! Let's see what Aunt can help you?"

"Auntie, the patriarch is going to build a house for our family. Can I borrow the west room of my aunt's house to live in for a few days?"

Aunt Hu's family is much bigger than Li Yanqing's family. His son and his family live in the main house. Aunt Hu lives alone in the east house, while the west house is empty and some miscellaneous items are piled up.

Aunt Hu was surprised. The clan leader was actually going to repair the house for Daqi's house. This child was much more promising than his father. She smiled and nodded, "I'll go back and clean up with Qing'er's mother, and you can move here!"

At this time, someone outside the door asked, "Is the great guy at home?"

Li Yanqing was stunned. Who is this?

The gate of the yard was open, and a man in his thirties leaned in and asked with a smile: "Brother Qing, is your father at home?"

Li Yanqing didn't know this person, but Aunt Hu knew him, so she smiled politely: "It turned out to be Baozheng. Daqi has gone to the county, and there is only Qing'er at home."

Aunt Hu called him Baozheng, and Li Yanqing immediately knew who he was. This person was named Li Zhen, Baozheng from Li Wencun and a member of the Li clan. He was just a little far apart. His father often mentioned him, but his tone was not friendly, and sometimes he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"Is there anything wrong with Li Baozheng looking for my father?"

Of course, Li Zhen knew that Li Daqi had gone to the county, but it was just an excuse. He was actually here to find Li Yanqing.

"Brother Qing'er, it doesn't matter if your father is not here. It's actually the same as you."

Li Zhen glanced at Aunt Hu, and Aunt Hu led Qing'er away tactfully.

Li Yanqing also knew very well that this village official who never came to visit today was because of what happened last night.

"This bench was seated by the patriarch just now. Li Bao was sitting down and talking!" Li Yanqing moved a bench for him.

Li Zhen seemed a little nervous, with a kind of unconcealed worry in his eyes. He waved his hand, "You sit down! I won't sit."

Li Yanqing sat down and looked at him strangely, but thought to himself, "Does he want to invite himself to dance to the great god?"

Li Zhen rubbed his hands and then hesitated for a while: "That's right. Last night, two troublemakers from my family followed Butler Liu's son to the ancestral hall."

"So they are your sons!"

Li Yanqing almost let it go, and then continued: "I saw that the fourth uncle caught three children and said that he had caused trouble and burned the ancestral hall. I only knew Liu Fu'er, and the other two turned out to be Baozheng's sons."

Li Zhen nodded awkwardly, "These two rebellious sons have been spoiled by their grandfather since childhood. They are lawless at home and have caused a big disaster last night."

It turned out that the brothers Li Er and Li San were Bao Zheng's sons, and he immediately understood what Bao Zheng was coming to do for him.

He scratched his head and asked, "There shouldn't be any punishment! After all, he is a child, and he can beat him at most."

Li Zhen smiled bitterly. It would be great if it was that simple. Does he still have to come and ask Li Yanqing?

He shook his head, "Ge Qing'er doesn't know that the crime of burning the ancestral hall is not in the ancestral law. It is because the crime is too great that no one dares to burn the ancestral hall. If you want to punish it, the lightest thing is to break one leg."

"What if it's a heavy punishment?"

Li Zhen sighed, "If the punishment is severe, it will be a lifelong ban, and the two children will be over in their lives."

Li Yanqing didn't care about worshiping any ancestors, but he understood Li Zhen's meaning, and wanted to ask himself to use the identity of the great ancestor to show his spirit to help him plead for mercy.

Li Yanqing was not disgusted with Li Er and Li San. Apart from speaking a little annoying, he at least did not run home to complain like Liu Fuer. However, his father looked angry when he mentioned Li Zhen. Needless to say, this person must have bullied his father.

Li Zhen continued, "Can you ask Brother Qing to talk to the patriarch and try to give my two dogs a gentle drop."

Li Yanqing didn't say anything. If it were Aunt Hu, she would try her best to help without asking for help. But why did Li Baozheng's father dislike him so much?

Of course, Li Zhen knew that he could not ask for help with others with his bare hands. He took out a wrinkled yellow paper from his arms, put it on a small stool, and smiled and said, "This was originally a three-acre land deed from your family. Your father sold it to me back then, so I don't want money to return it to you! It's my little intention."

Only then did Li Yanqing understand why his father gritted his teeth when he mentioned this person. It must be for the three acres of ancestral land. He also felt strange that other people's families had several acres of land, but why did his family have nothing.

If it was a fair deal, my father would not hate him. Something must have happened that made my father feel uneasy.

However, enemies should be resolved rather than made up. This person is Baozheng from Li Wencun. Offending him is definitely not a wise move. As long as he returns the land, it is good to be a favor.

Li Yanqing picked up the deed and smiled, "Li Baozheng went to find the patriarch directly! He said that the two men were coerced by Liu Fu'er and dared not to go. As for my side, I am willing to guarantee them and ask the patriarch to spare them once."

Li Zhen was overjoyed. He was overwhelmed by the disaster caused by his two sons. He went to beg Li Wengui early in the morning. Although Li Wengui promised to be a lighter, he broke one leg after another. How could he bear to be?

Fortunately, Daguang just now told him that as long as this Brother Qing was willing to plead with the patriarch, his two sons would be fine. Li Zhen also heard about what happened last night, and a glimmer of hope suddenly arose in his heart.

He hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Qing, for your help! If Brother Qing is free now, can we go to the town together?"

Li Yanqing was not in the mood to accompany him to the town. He immediately went back to the house and wrote a note and handed it to Li Zhen, "If you give this to the patriarch, he will not pursue the son."

Seeing that Li Yanqing refused to go, Li Zhen had no choice but to take the note and thank him. Li Yanqing was in a very happy mood at this time. He was so childish that he simply crossed his legs and shouted proudly outside the door: "Mr. Li is here, and any other neighbor wants me to approve the note, come!"

"May I ask... Are the big brothers at home?" A very kind voice really came from outside the door.

As the saying goes, "No one is asking about the poor and troubled people, but rich people have distant relatives in the deep mountains."

Since the clan leader came to visit, four tribesmen have visited him in just half a day. In addition to enthusiastically expressing their willingness to help Daqi take care of his son who lives alone, they also sent two pumpkins, a pickled fish and half a bag of beans.

Li Yanqing gave all these things to Aunt Hu. He could not repay Aunt Hu's family's timely help. These were just his wishes.

In the afternoon, the yard of Li Yanqing's house became lively again. Butler Yang from the Li Mansion brought a few bricklayers to see the house. Butler Yang was named Yang Shanmin, about forty years old. He had a long neck, a small head and a big body, a pair of short legs, and a white dress. From a distance, he looked like a big white goose.

Butler Yang's face is always filled with smiles all year round. Although he also has the nickname "Smiling Tiger" behind him, it still makes people feel that he is much more friendly than the vicious Liu Chenghong.

But Mr. Yang was in a very good mood today, and his smile came from the heart. He was originally a third butler. After Liu Chenghong was driven away last night, he was promoted to Mr. Wang by the master. Butler Sun Er, who used to ride on him, became his subordinate.
