In her previous life, old Mrs. Li wished she could pluck out her heart and liver to make soup for her children, yet in her old age, she faced indifference and evasion. Her children all kept their d...
Li Guifang and her family returned home in a hurry, and the scene was as lively as a New Year's market.
When the neighbors saw them coming back, they all came over.
Mrs. Liu was carrying cucumbers that she had brought back from her parents' home, and Uncle Ge from the next yard had an egg that had just been laid by his hen in his pocket.
Everyone came back, and the laughter was like firecrackers, "cluck, cluck" non-stop.
But this comfortable life didn't last for a few days, just like a soap bubble, it burst with a "pop".
That evening, the family was sitting around the dinner table, enjoying a lively meal.
Although there were only a few dishes on the table, there wasn't much meat.
But that was the taste of home. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
But there are always those two who spoil the fun and show up at inopportune times.
"Mom and Dad, we're here to see you. You didn't even tell us you were discharged, leaving us wandering around the hospital like headless flies. It's so late at night, it's such a waste of time!"
Li Mingyuan and Lin Yaqin came shouting with their stinky mouths smacking!
Li Guifang rolled her eyes to the sky and asked, "Did I ask you to go to the hospital?"
"Brother, Mom has been out of the hospital for more than ten days. Why did you just think of going to the hospital?"
Li Mingyu didn't spoil his elder brother and sister-in-law.
Especially the eldest sister-in-law, as soon as she got married, she couldn't stand her brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
They were clearly still in school at that time and did housework after school, but in the eyes of this sister-in-law, they were just freeloaders!
Li Guifang also didn't tolerate the eldest brother and his wife. She put the dishes and chopsticks on the table and said coldly, "Boss, you two are really interesting!
What's going on? When you go to the hospital to visit someone, are you going there empty-handed to pretend to be a living Bodhisattva?
Now you can't even speak a human language, what's the matter, just because I didn't get beaten to death, you want to piss me off to death?"
Lin Yaqin was scolded so harshly that the anger in her heart suddenly flared up.
But when I thought about the purpose of this trip, I had to hold back my anger.
She took a deep breath, her facial muscles tensed up, and she forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, saying in a wicked tone:
"Mom, look at what you're saying. We're all family. It's just like pouring money from your left pocket into your second pocket. It's so strange to say that."
"Oh, I don't need to put it in my pocket. Just put the money you sent to your mother's family into my bankbook!"
Li Mingyuan pretended not to hear and quickly added, "I've been busy lately and haven't had time to watch it. You guys are really...
Mom was discharged from the hospital, such a big thing, but you didn't even bother to call and let me know!"
As soon as Li Mingyuan opened his mouth, he started complaining without saying a few nice words!
After just a few pleasantries, Lin Yaqin got straight to the point, "Mom, we're here today because we have something very important to discuss with you."
Well, after singing for a long time, we finally got to the "core" of the play.
Li Guifang sneered, as if she was watching a monkey show.
She folded her arms across her chest, glared at them, and said, "Oh, what could possibly happen to you?
Are you thinking of taking some money from me again? I tell you again, I don’t have any money, and even if I did, I would save it for buying a coffin!
Li Guifang returned to Lin Yaqin exactly what she had said last time!
The smile on Lin Yaqin's face did not fade after hearing this. The greed and calculation on her face were clearly reflected in Li Guifang's face.
Lin Yaqin ignored the indifference of the others towards her and continued to speak to herself, "Mom, it's the same thing as last time. Now it's really the final payment time.
Mom, you must have received quite a bit of compensation this time. Consider it an emergency measure and lend it to us to pay our tuition.
When we become rich, not only will we pay you back, we'll even build you a golden palace to live in!"
When Li Guifang heard this, she felt a lump in her throat. Wow, what a big pancake! She couldn't swallow it!
She stood up with a jerk, her body shaking like a sieve.
She stretched out her finger, poked Lin Yaqin's nose straight, and cursed at the top of her voice.
"Lin Yaqin, you heartless beast! How dare you bring up compensation?
Last time, you were very capable, saying that I was an old immortal and was wasting food, and you also cursed me to save the money to buy a coffin.
Now that I see there is compensation, I can smell the smell of money.
Do you think I'm a fool? I would give money to a heartless person like you who is worse than pigs and dogs!"
Lin Yaqin was scolded so badly that her face felt hot, as if she had been slapped several times.
She waved her hands and started to throw a tantrum, shouting, "I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing? I'm worse than pigs and dogs? But I'm also the eldest son's wife in your family!
We are in trouble now and asked you to lend us some money to make ends meet. Do you really have to say such harsh words? "
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't always talk about being the eldest son and grandson. Our family has been poor farmers for eight generations, and there is no wealth for you to inherit. Don't try to do that.
You're asking me for money, you might as well ask your Li Mingyuan to change his mother!"
The little ones almost burst out laughing when they heard their mother say this.
Li Mingyuan was filled with anger when he saw that his younger brothers and sisters increasingly ignored him as the eldest brother!
But he did not forget the purpose of his visit, so he did not bother with them!
"Mom, how much money did the Ji family pay for me to be discharged from the hospital?"
Li Mingyuan was thinking in his mind, if he asked exactly how much money he had lost in compensation, it should be okay for him to ask for half of it!
Li Guifang was just waiting for this bastard to speak.
"The Ji family has someone in their power, how much compensation do you expect them to pay?
I was compensated with two hundred yuan to buy me some nutritional supplements, and that was all. Even when I thought about asking the old lady of the Ji family to apologize to me, the eldest son of the Ji family was not willing to do so, as he was afraid that his mother would be wronged.
He even said it directly, "The worst that can happen is that you can sue me in court and I'll just have to pay some money!"
When I inquired, I found out that two hundred was the maximum compensation, so I just came back quickly!
You said your boss, that kid from the Ji family was your classmate, right? I didn't see him go to college back then, but now, judging by his appearance, he seems to be much more successful than you."
"Mom, why do you always say you're ignorant? How can someone like the Ji family compare to your Mingyuan?
Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, do you know?
"A higher-ranking official can crush someone to death, haven't you heard of that? Mingyuan's rank, standing in front of those factories, who wouldn't bow and scrape? You just watch these nonsense!"
Li Guifang was annoyed by Lin Yaqin's condescending attitude.
"Oh, where did this feudal ancestor come from? Don't talk nonsense like that in my house. I'm afraid people will misunderstand me as a feudal superstitious person.
You are just a small official, and you call yourself an official? Is there anyone else in your unit who knows you?
