Chapter 139 Things Are Not That Simple
"Qiangzi, you're back!"

When Qu Yinfeng saw Li Guoqiang coming back, she hurriedly reached out to wipe away her tears, then quickly walked up to him and pulled him into the outer room.

"Auntie, what's going on? Why are you crying?"

Li Guoqiang looked at Qu Yinfeng's red eyes and asked in confusion.

"Woo~"

After hearing this, Qu Yinfeng tried to hold back, but in the end she couldn't help crying out loud, "Why is my life so miserable?"

"Auntie, auntie!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly spoke in a deep voice to comfort him: "Don't cry yet, no matter what, I'm still here!"

"If you have any questions, you can tell me and I will definitely find a way to help you."

"Ok!"

After some persuasion, Qu Yinfeng's crying gradually subsided. Then she sniffed and slowly said, "This is what happened."

Soon, Li Guoqiang learned the whole story from Qu Yinfeng.

All along, because Qu Yinfeng and Xu Guangshan didn't say it, he thought they only had one son.

In fact, in addition to a son, they also have a daughter named Xu Yuping.

However, their daughter was married to Zhujiatun, Shaoguojuzi Commune, Chang County, through a matchmaker more than ten years ago.

Later, due to the misfortune that happened in their family that year, Xu Yuping secretly took some money from home to help her parents' family. Coupled with Xu Dani's reputation as a little disaster star, the two families eventually cut off contact.

Some time ago, because Xu Guangshan passed away, Qu Yinfeng asked someone to bring a message to Xu Yuping, asking her to take time to come back and pay tribute to Xu Guangshan.

However, who would have thought that before this, her husband had an accident while moving a wine vat in the commune's winery and was crushed to death by a wine vat.

Therefore, after receiving Qu Yinfeng's message, Xu Yuping's in-laws directly blamed her for her husband's death.

In the end, not only did she take away her husband's job at the winery and the compensation money, she also kicked her and her daughter Zhu Caixia out of the house.

Originally, Xu Yuping wanted to seek justice from the brigade and the commune, but those people avoided her as if she were the plague, for fear of being infected with bad luck.

Besides, this matter is originally their own family affair. Even if other people sympathize with their situation, it is difficult for them to help them solve the problem.

In desperation, they could only choose to walk back to their parents' home to cry and seek help.

"Qiangzi, what do you think we should do now?"

Qu Yinfeng wiped away her tears and looked at Li Guoqiang expectantly, hoping that he could help her find a solution.

"this."

Li Guoqiang hesitated for a moment, then quietly suggested, "How about this! Let's go and ask Uncle Fu about this matter and see if he has any solution."

"Row!"

Qu Yinfeng was slightly stunned, then nodded quickly and said, "Then let's go now!"

After saying that, she couldn't wait to pull Li Guoqiang out.

After a while, they arrived at Xu Guangfu's home and told him everything that had happened.

After hearing this, Xu Guangfu was suddenly shocked.

No matter how he thought about it, he never expected that things would be so coincidental.

Then, under Qu Yinfeng's anxious gaze, he silently took a puff of his pipe and said in a deep voice, "This matter is a little difficult to handle!"

At this point, he looked up at Qu Yinfeng and Li Guoqiang, and then explained: "The most important problem now is that they haven't split up."

"Since there is no division of the family, it is not easy for others to say anything about the mother and daughter being kicked out. At most, they can say that they are too greedy."

"Uncle Fu!"

Li Guoqiang frowned, and then couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What about the jobs and compensation they took away? Shouldn't they be able to get these two things back?"

“It’s not that simple!”

Xu Guangfu shook his head and said softly, "In theory, the job quota and compensation should be given to Yuping, but the key to the problem is that they haven't separated, so the job quota and compensation must be decided by their family members together."

"It's just like those people in our village who haven't split up their families. Every year, the work points they earn from the production team, as well as the various benefits they receive, are all calculated and distributed based on their entire family."

"Also, another problem is that Yuping's reputation has been ruined by them. Even if we can help her get a piece of residential land from their brigade and build a house, her life in the village will definitely be difficult in the future."

After hearing this, Li Guoqiang and Qu Yinfeng couldn't help but remain silent, obviously knowing that what Xu Guangfu said was right.

After a while, Li Guoqiang looked at Xu Guangfu who was smoking non-stop and asked softly: "Uncle Fu, what do you think we should do now?"

"Um"

Hearing this, Xu Guangfu paused while smoking, then said in a deep voice: "I think we should let Yuping stay at home first, and then I will ask someone to help find out the situation and see if there is any way to get Yuping's in-laws to come and take her back."

"If it really doesn't work, then we can only ask someone to find a new husband for Yuping."

After saying that, he glanced at Li Guoqiang and sighed softly in his heart.

In fact, he had another solution that he hadn't mentioned. Usually in the countryside, when encountering this kind of situation, the woman's family would go directly to the door to call.

However, now Xu Yuping's family only has Qu Yinfeng and Xu Dani, the grandmother and granddaughter, left, and they simply don't have the ability to help Xu Yuping.

As for Li Guoqiang, he seemed to have become a family with Qu Yinfeng, but he was still an outsider after all. In addition, as an educated youth, it was even more inappropriate for him to go to her house to ask for an explanation.

By then, not only will Xu Yuping’s in-laws have objections, but even the people in Zhujiatun will have objections.

Qu Yinfeng was well aware of this, otherwise she would not have placed her hopes on Xu Guangfu. It would have been better to just let Li Guoqiang come to his house with a gun and kill him.

All in all, this is the sadness of having no man in the family, and it is also one of the main reasons why the phenomenon of the whole family being wiped out is so common.

If anyone is to be blamed, it can only be blamed on Xu Yuping for not living up to her expectations and not giving birth to a boy.

Thinking of this, Qu Yinfeng's expression was filled with sadness, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

This is life!
After listening to Xu Guangfu's opinions, Li Guoqiang couldn't help feeling helpless.

Although he has the protection of Father Jin, he has no better solution when faced with some unspoken rules that have been formed over thousands of years.

Just like before, if Xu Dani had not just happened to draw the first fish, he would not have been so easy to take off the hat of the little disaster star on Xu Dani's head. Even until now, there are people in the village who talk about her behind her back from time to time.

He could imagine that after the news of Xu Yuping's death spread, someone would definitely take the opportunity to spread rumors, which would directly destroy most of the situation he had worked so hard to create.

What's more troublesome is that Xu Yuping is only 32 years old and has a 14-year-old daughter. If they stay in Qu Yinfeng's house and live with him for a long time, it will be easy for people to throw dirty water on him and say that he has an affair with Xu Yuping.

In this case, in order to avoid damaging his reputation, he had to move out of Qu Yinfeng's house as soon as possible, or find another place for Xu Yuping and her daughter Zhu Caixia to live.

Thinking of these troubles, he couldn't help but shook his head secretly in his heart, and then accompanied Qu Yinfeng back home.

As soon as she entered the room, Xu Yuping hurriedly got down from the kang, walked to Qu Yinfeng, and asked expectantly, "Mom, what did Uncle Fu say?"

"Ping'er, your uncle Fu said that this matter is a bit difficult to handle, so he asked you to stay at home first and wait for him to find out the situation!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Yinfeng shook his head and spoke.

"Woo~ Why is my life so miserable!"

Xu Yuping was stunned for a moment, then leaned on Qu Yinfeng's shoulder and started crying.

"OK OK!"

Qu Yinfeng reached out and patted Xu Yuping on the back, and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay, Mom will try her best to help you. At worst, you can just live with Mom in the future. Can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?"

"Besides, it's better for you to come back than to stay there and suffer all the time. And your man is not a good guy either. It's ok that he likes to drink and beat people, but he has been married to you for so many years and he didn't even think about leaving you a brick and a half tile."

"After a while, Mom will ask someone to introduce you to a better one, and you won't be sad anymore."

"mom!"

When Xu Yuping heard what Qu Yinfeng said and thought of the grievances she had suffered over the years, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

When Li Guoqiang saw this situation, his eyes narrowed slightly, then he turned around and walked out silently. He walked into the yard and teased Dahuang while thinking about what to do next.

With his ability, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to support Xu Yuping and Zhu Caixia, mother and daughter. He can even let them eat and drink delicious food every day.

However, he was not familiar with Xu Yuping and Zhu Caixia after all, and he didn't know their personalities. In addition, there were differences between men and women, so many things could not be done as casually as before.

Just like the meat, bathing, eating, etc.

He even has to consider whether Xu Yuping will compete with him for the right to be the head of the family.

If a quarrel really broke out, it would not only affect the relationship between him and Qu Yinfeng, but would also make the villagers laugh at him.

Therefore, the best solution is for him to move out.

However, it was freezing cold now, and even if he wanted to move, he didn't know where to move to.

We can't let him move to the pigpen and join the other educated youth, right?

As he thought about it, his eyes slowly shifted to the bathhouse, and then he looked outside the yard, wondering if he could build a wooden house first.

However, building a wooden house is easy, but building a kang is a bit difficult.

Not to mention that his construction skills were not yet at the level where he could build a fire pit on his own. He didn't even know where to get the bricks and cement for the fire pit!
Just when he was thinking about whether he could build a brick kiln, burn a batch of bricks, tiles and other materials himself, and then build a house, Xu Dani suddenly ran out of the house and pulled him into the house.

At this time, Xu Yuping had stopped crying and sat on the kang with red eyes hugging Zhu Caixia.

Qu Yinfeng sat next to the mother and daughter, constantly speaking to comfort them.

Seeing this, Xu Dani hurriedly walked up to Qu Yinfeng, stretched out her hand and tugged at her sleeve, and said softly, "Grandma, I called big brother in."

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Qu Yinfeng looked up at Li Guoqiang standing at the door, then waved and said, "Qiangzi, come here, your sister Yuping has something to tell you."

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang turned his gaze to Xu Yuping, then slowly walked forward and called out.

"Sister Yuping!"

"Ok!"

Xu Yuping nodded gently and agreed, then said with some gratitude: "Qiangzi, you have been so kind to our family, I really don't know how to thank you."

Having said that, she quickly stood up and wanted to kowtow to Li Guoqiang to show her respect.

However, before she could kneel down, Li Guoqiang reached out and grabbed her arm, then said in a deep voice: "Sister Yuping, you don't have to do this. Auntie is so kind to me and treats me as her own family. These are what I should do."

"no!"

Hearing this, Xu Yuping immediately said with a determined look on her face: "You have helped our family so much, I must kowtow to you!"

"Auntie, look at this?"

Seeing Xu Yuping like this, Li Guoqiang could only turn around and ask Qu Yinfeng for help in persuading her.

"okay!"

Seeing this, Qu Yinfeng quickly reached out and pulled Xu Yuping, and gently persuaded her: "Ping'er, don't embarrass Qiangzi. We are all family, there is no need to be so polite."

"That"

Xu Yuping hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay then! Qiangzi, don't worry, I will definitely repay you for your kindness if I have the chance in the future."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang responded with some hesitation, then walked to the north kang and sat down, looking at Xu Yuping quietly.

Perhaps because of the daily work, the skin on Xu Yuping's face and hands is not very good, and she looks three or four years older than her actual age.

However, she still inherited many of Qu Yinfeng's advantages, such as her hot body and pretty face.

Even a thick cotton jacket cannot cover the tall peaks and the round millstones.

Therefore, if he lived with Xu Yuping, even with Qu Yinfeng and Xu Dani as light bulbs, it was very likely that he would attract some gossip.

What a hassle!
At this time, Qu Yinfeng didn't seem to realize this problem. After asking Xu Yuping to sit down again, she immediately turned her gaze to Zhu Caixia who was sitting next to her, and said softly: "Xiaoxia, call Uncle Qiangzi!"

Hearing this, Zhu Caixia timidly raised her head and looked at Li Guoqiang, then quickly lowered her head, stared at her somewhat foul-doing Youzi, and shouted softly.

"Uncle Qiangzi!"
