Just as Sister Hong was about to enter the house with Yangyang, they happened to meet a woman who was about to go out to look for her husband.

Li Dayong's name sounds big and brave, but he is rather short and has a low sense of presence in his family.

"What are you doing? It's dark, there are a lot of people at home, why are you running around? The child is not stupid, he knows to go home when it gets dark.

The whole family is waiting....”

Li Dayong was annoyed by his mother Chen Guilan's nagging just now, and his tone was a little impatient.

Sister Hong stared at Li Dayong blankly, "Li Dayong, when will my mother's family and my brothers' families pay back the money they lent us?"

Li Dayong was stunned for a moment, and his tone softened a lot, "Don't we have no money now? The factory is not doing well, the family needs food, drink and clothes, Yangyang still needs to go to school, and I just got a permanent job. Now my eldest son wants a wife, and grandma also needs medicine. How can we squeeze out money?"

After a pause, he asked, "Did your parents-in-law write to you to urge you to pay? Don't worry, I remember it. When I save some money, I will definitely pay it back."

Sister Hong felt even more upset. "You have money to buy cigarettes for Dad, shoes for my little sister, and collars for Mom, but you don't have money to pay back my parents."

After saying that, Sister Hong took the child and walked past Li Dayong towards the room.

"Yangyang, come here, put down your schoolbag and go wash your hands. I'll pick you up after school next time, okay? Don't play with your friends on the way home. When you get home, put down your schoolbag and you can play for a while near the door."

Sister Hong untied the child's schoolbag while teaching him softly.

The sister-in-law snorted coldly, "You know how to come in on time and use the child as an excuse. Whose child doesn't know how to come in after dark? You're not stupid."

Seeing his daughter's words becoming more and more outrageous, Li Zhong could not help but scold her, "Enough, stop talking."

Chen Guilan came out of the kitchen. "What are you all sitting here for? Ge Hong, go wash the vegetables. Go peel the potatoes. Those two buckets of clothes haven't been washed yet."

Sister Hong pushed the child to write, "There are so many people sitting here, and I am not eating alone. You can call her aunt. If she can't make it, then don't make my portion. It doesn't matter if I don't eat it."

Chen Guilan choked, feeling a little confused. Did Ge Hong take the wrong medicine yesterday?

She glanced at her son Li Dayong, wondering if the couple had a quarrel. Thinking that Ge Hong would have to pay half a year's rent later, she endured it reluctantly and turned to her daughter Li Xiaomei and shouted, "What are you doing sitting here? You don't want to eat, right?"

Li Xiaomei glared at her sister-in-law, then reluctantly took a basin and went to pick potatoes.

The Li family's situation can only be considered an average family. They have a grandmother to support. Their grandfather Li Dayong passed away the year he returned to the city. In the past few years, only Chen Guilan and Li Zhong had an income and raised three children.

The youngest son, Li Da'an, just spent money and used connections to get a job last year. He has just saved money for a year and is looking for a marriage partner again this year.

Li Xiaomei will graduate in a few months and currently has no job. Although her family will not starve, they cannot eat whatever they want.

The dinner for dinner was a big steamed bun, and there were only two dishes, a big pot of braised diced potatoes. The diced potatoes were boiled in water, then taken out and stir-fried with chili peppers and oil. It tasted good and was very filling. There was also a pot of fried tofu skin.
