Wang Huilian curled her lips and said, "No matter who does it, they still have to burn firewood! You don't know that we went out every day in the northwest wind to collect this firewood!"
Hu Lili was so angry that she put the bowl on the kang: "Then what do you say, Auntie?"
She didn't understand. She had just given Wang Huilian two pieces of cake, so why did this person turn against her and refuse to acknowledge her?
At this time, Wang Huilian suddenly laughed and moved closer to Hu Lili: "Actually, there are two ways: one is that you leave the food with us, and you can take out your portion every time you cook, or you can give me some hard work fee if you want to cook alone."
"Oh, speaking of this, my father-in-law has something to tell you when we eat later."
"You can't live here for free, you have to pay for the room!"
Hu Lili's eyes widened in disbelief: "What the hell? I have to pay for it?"
Wang Huilian looked at her in confusion, as if she was making a fuss out of nothing: "Girl, you are dreaming too much, aren't you? You can live here for free without paying?"
"Don't you think about it? For you to come, not only did we have to clean up our house inside and out, but even my mother-in-law had to move away according to your wishes. Wouldn't you feel guilty if you didn't do something?"
Hu Lili was speechless after being asked by Wang Huilian.
She finally understood the saying: Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people.
Seeing that Hu Lili was angry and was about to refuse to take the money, Wang Huilian advised her: "To tell you the truth, the other educated youths have to pay, so don't think we are bullying you!"
Hu Lili asked somewhat discouragedly: "Then...how much do you want?"
Wang Huilian didn't say anything, but just said that during the meal, Old Man Shen would naturally explain everything to her.
Now the most important thing is to first explain clearly how to cook?
Hu Lili said angrily: "I already paid for it, can't you make it for me? I don't like cornmeal porridge."
Wang Huilian raised her lips and said, "Want to eat the special meal? Of course, it's 5 cents per meal. As long as you pay, I can bring it to you."
The 5 cents was a name that Wang Huilian came up with herself.
The rent fee must be paid to Old Man Shen, and she won’t get a penny.
So when she saw Hu Lili acting like a delicate lady just now, she immediately came up with this idea.
This time Hu Lili refused to accept it: "Five cents? Why don't you go and rob? How much does it cost to eat at a state-owned restaurant? Now I'm taking the food, and I still have to pay for it?"
The Shen family is even more cruel than Zhou Baopi!
Wang Huilian didn't care: "This is just my hard work fee, which also includes the water and firewood fees!"
"If you want to cook for yourself, that's fine. Then go out and collect firewood yourself! But I have to tell you, all the firewood nearby has been picked up by others. You have to go to the deep mountains and forests to chop it!"
"I heard there are wolves and black bears in the mountains. You may not be able to get out once you go in."
Wang Huilian spoke more and more quietly, her eyes narrowed as if Hei Xia Zi was right in front of her.
Hu Lili lowered her head and stared at the bowl in front of her for a long time. No matter what, she couldn't go out to collect firewood.
Li Xiang, who was standing by, felt sorry for the pitiful Hu Lili, so she secretly pulled Wang Huilian to make sure she was almost there.
It's pitiful enough that a little girl has come all the way to this remote mountain place where she is unfamiliar with the place. Why is the sister-in-law making things difficult for her?
Wang Huilian pushed Li Xiang away in annoyance and gave her a cold look.
The second son's family is just a blockhead.
If you don't take advantage of the educated youth living in your house to get more benefits, can you wait until she moves out?
Besides, she did the job even though she took the money!
"Hurry up, what do you want?" Wang Huilian urged Hu Lili.
I heard that people in big cities are quite rich, so why is this girl hesitating over just 5 cents?
Hu Lili looked up at Wang Huilian and pursed her lips: "Then cook me some millet porridge. I want something softer."
5 cents is 5 cents, there is no other way at the moment.
She will ask other educated youth tomorrow. If they all want money, she will have to grit her teeth and bear it.
"Okay, just wait and eat!"
Wang Huilian picked up the bowl and stretched out her other hand, the meaning was very clear: you have to pay now.
Hu Lili was angry, and her words were full of resentment: "Go out first, I'll give you the change."
Wang Huilian grinned. This little girl wanted to take money behind her back.
Little did she know that she only had that little luggage, and it was obvious with just her toes that the money was hidden in the big bag that she always kept with her.
But in order not to make a fuss, she obediently took the bowl and walked out.
By the way, he also pulled out the guilty Li Xiang.
Hu Lili poked her head out and glanced toward the outer room, making sure that no one was peeking. Then she took out a cloth bag from the compartment under her large backpack.
He opened it layer by layer, took out a 5-cent coin, wrapped it up in the cloth bag again, and put it back in the interlayer.
Then he went downstairs, put on his shoes, and came to the outer room, handing the money to Wang Huilian: "Here you go, count it, and don't misrecognize it again."
Wang Huilian took the money and put it into her waistband, not caring about Hu Lili's sarcasm. She thought that getting the money was the right thing to do.
Then I started preparing dinner with Li Xiang.
There were three sisters-in-law, but only Li Xiaoqin didn't come.
She is still angry now, angry at Chen Qiushu.
I didn't expect that after only a few months of marriage with him, he would already be staring at another woman.
This was hard for the strong-willed Li Xiaoqin to accept.
Feeling upset, she made the excuse of feeling unwell and half-leaned against the wall at the end of the kang, closing her eyes to rest.
The men of the Shen family, who usually go out to visit friends and relatives, stayed in the house for the first time.
Especially Shen Weimin, he stopped pretending that his feet hurt, and came to the outer room. Seeing Hu Lili was there, his heart was pounding and a blush appeared on his face unconsciously.
"Mom, can I help you cook?"
Shen Weimin rushed to sit by the stove to help Wang Huilian light the fire.
Wang Huilian was immediately like a cat with its fur standing on end by her eldest son's unusual behavior.
"Go away, go away. You are a grown man, what's wrong with you sitting here in the stove? Go inside quickly. The kitchen is not a place for men."
But no matter how Wang Huilian chased Shen Weimin away, he refused to leave and stayed here, under the pretext of helping to light the fire and cook.
Wang Huilian was angry, knowing that this boy had ulterior motives. Since she couldn't persuade him, she might as well drive Hu Lili away.
"Hu Zhiqing, look at the dust flying around in the kitchen. Your clothes must be dirty. Come inside quickly. I'll call you when it's done."
But Hu Lili refused: "I'm watching you guys cook. I'll have to cook for myself in the future. I have to learn a little bit, don't you think?"
In fact, Hu Lili was afraid that Wang Huilian would withhold her millet.
After this series of events, she finally saw clearly that the Shen family was just taking advantage of her.
If she wasn't watching, she might actually be able to squeeze some out of that little bit of millet!
