The stepmother"s first reaction was to oppose it. She still wanted Big River to work at home for a bit more, so how could she let him break off his relationship with them?

Li Qingling had expected his stepmother to have such a reaction, she did not mind at all and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, you can go now, don"t even think about these five cubes of rice."

"Li Qingling, are you saying that we have to exchange five cubes of rice for Li Da He?"

"That"s right. Think about it, these five grains will not only prevent you from starving, but also rid your former son of the eyesore. Isn"t it killing two birds with one stone?"

When the Queen heard Li Qingling"s words, she was moved. She felt that Li Qingling was right, killing two birds with one stone was indeed a good thing.

"Does Li Da He also mean that?"

Da He glanced at Li Qingling and saw that Li Qingling had slightly nodded at him. Only then did he let out a sound of acknowledgement, saying that this was also what he meant.

He believed that Xiao Lingjie would not harm him, and he would follow what Xiao Lingjie said.

He rubbed the corner of his shirt and thought for a while before answering.

"Fine, as long as you give us five cubes of rice, we will break off all relations with Li Da He." When she got the five cones of rice, she turned hostile and dragged Li Da He home to work.

But she did not expect that Li Qingling had already been on his guard against her, "Since you agreed to it, then just write down a contract!" As long as he had this kind of evidence, he was not afraid of her going back on her word.

The stepmother gritted her teeth and asked with a frown, "You still want to erect such a thing?"

Li Qingling looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, "Of course not, what if you go back on your word?" She had already guessed most of what was going on in her mind.

"Just stand there, are you afraid of us?"

After waiting for her to say that, Li Qingling turned and smiled at Liu Zhimo.

Moments later, he came out with two sheets of paper and red ink. "Look, Big Sis Lai!" "If you think it"s okay, then press your finger to make a mark."

The stepmother was blind and could not recognize those two words. It would be a waste for her to see them.

However, she still took the two pieces of paper and looked around. After she finished reading, she smiled and said, "Are you lying to me?"

Li Qingling immediately took the two words from her hands, and said indifferently: "For these two words, you must imprint it with Da He"s father"s finger." This was also to prevent her father from going back on his word.

When the Queen heard this, she became a little unhappy. She put her hands on her waist and stared at Li Qingling unhappily, "Li Qingling, what do you mean by that? "He"s greedy for my five cubes of rice." The five cones of rice were originally hers, but they were forcibly exchanged for Li Dahe by Li Qingling.

Li Qingling innocently shrugged his shoulders, "Anyways, if you want the five meters, if you want to cut off all ties with the river, then go and find Da He"s father. On the two doc.u.ments, press your finger marks, and the moment you press your finger marks, I will immediately give the five meters to you, and the extra two meters to you." She believed that whenhe heard this, she would no longer hesitate.

Sure enough, when the stepmother heard this, her eyes couldn"t help but light up. To her family, eating two bowls of rice was equivalent to eating porridge for half a month.

For the sake of these two cubes of rice, she had to agree.

"Alright, just you wait. I"ll go home and get his father." With that, he turned and ran.

When the Queen left, Li Qingling turned his head to Li Da He and said, "The reason why I did this is because I didn"t want you to be soaked in blood like a vampire in the future." She looked at River"s expression and saw that he didn"t seem to resist, he smiled and said, "However, we still need to respect your opinion. If you don"t want to break off the relationship with them, you can say it out, I won"t let them press their fingers."

"No …." Da He lightly shook his head and felt very grateful towards Li Qingling in his heart. He had even thought about it in the future, "Let"s do it like this! I have no objections. " He didn"t have any feelings for Ye Zichen, so all he would do was slave his parents.

"If you have no objections, then come according to the original plan." Hearing what Big River said, Li Qingling immediately heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. It was fine as long as he didn"t mind her meddling in other people"s business.

What he was most afraid of was to wholeheartedly devote his heart to his own good, but others didn"t appreciate his kindness.

"What are you still standing here for? Come in first! " The old man had heard the entire process clearly in the courtyard, he was also very much in favor of Li Qingling"s actions.

Only when the river has no worries can one wholeheartedly learn medicine from him.

Li Qingling put down the basket on his back, took out the five tubs of rice, measured another two tubs, and gave the rest to Li Qingfeng.

"You go in with Little Yan, we"ll wait here for a while. I believe Big River"s parents will be here soon."

Li Qingling and Liu Zhiyan looked at each other, and shook their heads at the same time. They did not go in, either, and would only go in after everything was settled.

They were brothers with Big River, so of course they would stay here and be his strong support.

Li Qingling glanced at them, and when he saw that Big River"s parents were rushing over, he did not say anything else and allowed them to stay.

"Big River, what are you doing? Did he really want to break off all relations with his father? "Huh?" As soon as his father stopped walking, he began to question Big River loudly. No matter what, Big River was his son, and hearing that Big River was going to break off relations with him made him angry and sad at the same time.

Big River calmly looked at his father and said lightly, "It"s not that I want to break off relations with all of you, it"s that the Queen Mother doesn"t want me anymore for the sake of those five cubes of rice."

"Ledani, explain to me exactly what"s going on." How come it doesn"t sound like it?

Was it true that she didn"t want his eldest son for the sake of the five tufts of rice?

He had been married to her for so long, and he knew her well enough to do that.

The stepmother felt like she had returned to the village. There weren"t many people there anymore, so she straightened her back and stared at her father as she said loudly, "What happened? Your son"s heart is no longer at home? What do I need him for? "Huh?" She took two deep breaths and said, "If it wasn"t for the sake of getting better at home, I would have cut off all ties with him with five cubes of rice." "Huh?" Thinking of the fact that there would be one less person in her family to work as a lackey, her heart didn"t feel good either!

"You … You … He"s my son, why are you so heartless? " Big River"s father pulled at his hair with both hands and cried out in pain, "Big River, come home with your father! Daddy won"t break off his relationship with you with five cubes of rice. "

At that moment, Big River felt a little touched. At least, he still had him in his heart as his father.

Just as he opened his mouth and was about to speak, his stepmother slapped his father, "Li Da Quan, what are you saying? Say it again if you dare." She was on the verge of bursting into tears. "If you have the ability, then give me the seven tubs of rice. If you can"t find it, then don"t be so squeaky here."

Big River"s dad had his head covered by his hands from being beaten up by the stepmother. He replied, "Where can I find you seven tubs of rice?"

Judging from the current situation, he would not even be able to find a single grain of rice, let alone seven cubes of rice.

"If you can"t find the seven cubes of rice, you can only listen to me." Looking at his father on the river, her tone softened. "Think about the situation at home. If only we had seven more meters, our family would be able to survive this difficult period, right?"

Seeing that Big River"s father"s expression had loosened up a bit, she continued to persuade him, "Big River will not be lacking food and clothes even if he stays here. If he comes back to our house, he"ll actually starve him. For his own good, we should just let him stay here. What do you think?" The more she thought about it, the more she felt like killing two birds with one stone.

Besides, she didn"t believe that Big River would really ignore his father even if he broke his bones and tendons.

Big River"s dad squatted on the ground, conflicted. After squatting for a while, he finally nodded with great difficulty.

The moment his father nodded, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Indeed, he shouldn"t have any hope for his father. In his father"s heart, the stepmother and the others were the most important. What did it count for?

Li Qingfeng and Liu Zhiyan reached out their hands to hold the big river"s hand, silently consoling him, telling him not to be sad, they were here!

Big River pursed his lips and smiled at them. Yes, there"s still them! He"s not alone!

Thus, there really was no need for him to be sad. Those who did not care about him were not worthy of his sadness.

"Since all of you have made up your minds, then please press your finger marks here!" Li Qingling handed over the two words on the paper, and got Da He"s parents to press their fingers on it.

The stepmother did not hesitate to press down on her finger mark. When she was done pressing down, she tugged at Big River"s father to tell him to press down as well.

Big River"s father slowly stood up from the ground. He reached out his hand to press the red ink, and then slightly trembled as he pressed down on the paper.

Seeing that they had all pressed the b.u.t.ton, Li Qingling took it over and looked. He felt that there were no problems and pa.s.sed one of the pages over to Da He"s father.

"I hope that you will keep your promise and not disturb the river from now on."

Da He"s father held the paper tightly and looked at Da He, "Da He, if you have time, I will come and see you again. You … You should also go home and visit often when you"re free. " He felt that this was only a temporary measure. Once he returned the seven cubes of rice in the future, it would be null and void.

Big River shook his head coldly and said, "No need, that"s not my home, there"s nothing much to see." He paused, "You don"t need to come visit me, I don"t want to see you again."

After saying so, he forced himself to hold back his tears and walked into the courtyard.

How could someone who could exchange him for a family member with seven cubes of rice be sincerely kind to him?

From now on, his relatives were Xiao Feng and the rest.

"Big river …" Big River"s father let out a sad cry.

Li Qingling interrupted them with a cold voice, "This is your seven cubes of meters, take it back, and don"t come disturb the river again, do you understand?" She didn"t want to bicker with them every day.

"Xiao Ling, Da He is my son. Why can"t I come to see him?"

Li Qingling glanced at Da He"s father sarcastically, "Ever since you promised to use seven cubes of rice to break off the relationship with Da He, you are not Da He"s father anymore. Please remember this matter!" After saying so, he no longer paid any attention to them and quickly walked into the courtyard. With a bang, he closed the courtyard door.
