Her misogynistic mother accepted a high-priced bride price and married her to a man with disabled legs. She was ridiculed for half her life. Facing the婆婆's (mother-in-law's) constant ni...
Jiang Li didn't know what the south was that Zhang Yulian was talking about. She looked at Zhang Yulian curiously with her big watery eyes and asked, "Where is the south? Is there anything fun?"
"Of course there are dolls and candies, and you can even ride on a big plane. Do you want to go?"
After Zhang Yulian finished speaking, Jiang Li's little face suddenly broke into a smile. She wanted to go!
"go!"
"Okay, then can I take you with me when I leave? You can't tell anyone, otherwise I won't take you with me." Zhang Yulian was afraid that Jiang Li would tell others about this, so she told her not to talk nonsense.
"Is my brother going?"
"Jiang Hao isn't going, so I can only take one person with me."
Zhang Yulian didn't plan to take Jiang Hao with her. She felt that although Jiang Hao was small, he was very cunning and not as easy to fool as Jiang Li. So she only planned to kidnap Jiang Li.
"Why?"
...
...
Jiang Li didn't understand why she was the only one to go to such a fun place, and why her brother couldn't go. And she was not allowed to tell her mother about this.
"No reason. If you ask me why again, I won't take you with me either."
Jiang Li immediately became anxious when she heard this. She shouted, "I won't ask anymore. When will you come back?"
"I'll be back in two days. Don't worry. I won't make your parents worry."
Zhang Yulian's words dispelled Jiang Li's uneasiness, and she nodded in trust.
"Then let's make a pinky promise. This secret is only known to the two of us. You will keep it a secret, right?"
Zhang Yulian stretched out her finger and made a pinky promise with Jiang Li, finalizing the deal.
Seeing Jiang Li and Zhang Yulian chatting happily, Jiang Hao also ran over to see what they were doing.
But as soon as he came over, Zhang Yulian's face turned cold and she immediately ended the topic.
"Xiao Li, Auntie still has things to do. You and your brother should go play."
Zhang Yulian sent the two children away.
"Sister, what did you and aunt say just now that made you look so happy?" Jiang Hao asked as they walked, holding Jiang Li's hand.
"Nothing. Brother, I want to eat White Rabbit milk candy."
Jiang Li saw Niu Xin and Niu Rong not far away holding a handful of White Rabbit candies and eating them with gusto.
"Be good, sister. We won't eat candy. Mom said that eating too much candy will damage your teeth." Jiang Hao imitated his mother to comfort Jiang Li.
"But why aren't they afraid?"
"This... is because their teeth had been broken for a long time and had been pulled out by the doctor. Can you imagine using such big pliers to pull out teeth in their mouths? Wouldn't you be scared?" Jiang Hao's words were very terrifying, and Jiang Li was so scared that she didn't dare to mention eating milk candy again.
"Jiang Hao, don't scare Jiang Li. Our teeth haven't been pulled out."
"That's right, your family can't afford White Rabbit candy, right? Here, I'll give you two candies, here!"
Niu Xin and Niu Rong reached out to give candy to Jiang Hao and Jiang Li.
Jiang Li reached out to take the candy, but was stopped by Jiang Hao. He pressed his sister's hand down and said, "We can afford candy. We don't need you to give us any!"
Jiang Hao said this coolly, turned around and took Jiang Li home.
After returning home, Jiang Hao closed the door, took off his shoes and went to **'s cabinet to get something.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Jiang Li also took off her shoes and climbed up.
Jiang Hao took out a box from the cabinet and opened it to find it was full of candies, including White Rabbit milk candies, crisp candies, and sesame candies.
Jiang Li's mouth was watering. She clapped her hands happily and shouted, "Brother is great! We can have candy too!".Ь.
"Shh! Keep your voice down so no one can hear us. We're only taking two pieces. Don't take more. Mom will notice if you take too much."
Jiang Hao was right. Ye Li didn't give Jiang Hao and Jiang Li so many candies because he was afraid that the children would damage their teeth.
So Ye Li hid the candies he bought and only took them out and gave them two pieces when the two children were very greedy.
Jiang Hao was very smart and found where Ye Li hid the candies, but he did not steal them. It was only today when he was laughed at by Niu Rong and Niu Xin that he secretly took two candies to satisfy his sister's craving.
After Jiang Li got the candy, she couldn't wait to peel off the candy wrapper and put the candy into her mouth. The sweet taste spread in her mouth and Jiang Li twisted her body around with joy.
"Brother, fold a small airplane for me."
Jiang Li handed the candy wrapper to Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao quickly folded the candy wrapper into a plane. He threw it out with force, and the plane crashed into the ground.
"Hey, the candy paper plane couldn't fly and crashed directly. You can play with it yourself." Jiang Hao picked up the candy paper plane and returned it to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li held the small plane in her small hands and ran back and forth on the ground, imitating the flying of the plane.
"It's flying, the big plane is flying to the south, Xiaoli is also going to ride on the big plane!" Jiang Li said happily.
"Where is the south?" Jiang Hao asked curiously after hearing Jiang Li's words. He had never heard Jiang Li say this word before.
"I don't know either. My aunt told me." Jiang Li replied without thinking and started playing again.
"Oh." Jiang Hao didn't ask any more questions. He also took a candy, peeled off the paper and put it in his mouth.
While the two were secretly eating candy, Ye Li came back. She pushed the door and found it was locked from the inside.
"Jiang Hao and Jiang Li, what are you two doing in the house? Open the door for your mother." Ye Li heard the voices of two children in the house and urged them to open the door.
"Mom is back! What should I do? I haven't finished the candy yet." Jiang Li panicked. She chewed the candy in her mouth anxiously.
"Don't be afraid, spit out the candy. We can eat it after mom leaves." xь.
Jiang Hao spit the candy back onto the candy wrapper and asked Jiang Li to spit it out as well. After they put the candy in their pockets, they opened the door for their mother.
"What are you two doing? Why don't you go to see grandma?" Ye Li glanced around the room and found no signs of the two children making trouble.
"Nothing, mom, why are you back now?" Jiang Hao asked.
"I have to go on a business trip tomorrow, so I came back early today to prepare. You two should go play with grandma instead of playing here."
Ye Li wanted to take out some money, but he couldn't do it in front of Jiang Hao and Jiang Li.
"Okay. Sister, let's go."
Jiang Hao and Jiang Li were secretly delighted that their mother didn't catch them eating the candy, and they left happily holding hands.
After seeing the two children leave, Ye Li took out a locked box from under the clothes in the closet.
She unlocked the box, opened it, and took out a passbook.
Opening the passbook, Ye Li glanced at the five digits on top.
"You will soon belong to someone else, so let me enjoy your eyes first."
Ye Li read it several times, and finally put the passbook down, picked up the stack of hundred-yuan bills in the box and put them into his bag.
She locked the box again, put it back at the bottom of the cupboard and locked the cupboard.
Ye Li carried her bag and went to Zhao Xingmei's room.
"Mom, I have to go look for Jiang Sui. I might be back a little late. You can take the children to eat first."
"Okay, here's something for you to take to Jiang Sui." When Zhao Xingmei heard that Ye Li was going to find Jiang Sui, she took out a pottery jar from the cupboard behind her and gave it to Ye Li, asking her to take it to Jiang Sui.
As soon as Ye Li took the jar, he smelled a strong strange odor.
"Mom, what is this?" Ye Li wanted to open it curiously, but was stopped by Zhao Xingmei.
