The "bang" sound gave Hu Lili a big fright.
She looked at Wang Huilian in confusion, wondering what the relationship was between her and the daughter of Mr. Shen.
Wang Huilian, who was still not satisfied after cursing, pointed a kitchen knife at Hu Lili and said, "Hu Zhiqing, I'm telling you in advance that the little bitch in that room is not a good person."
"In this family, except for the second son's wife, who hasn't been beaten by her? If you don't want to lie on the kang like our old lady, unable to move, then go ahead and provoke her."
"Speaking of this, I just remembered, second sister-in-law, you are the only one in our family who has never been beaten. Did you and your daughter discuss this?"
Li Xiang was feeling guilty because of Shen Siyue's words, and when she heard her sister-in-law questioning her, she was suddenly at a loss.
"I...I didn't. Even though she is my daughter, I still think what she did was wrong. I always scold her whenever I have time!"
Seeing that Li Xiang was being cautious, Wang Huilian felt that this woman would not dare to go against the whole family.
But her resentment towards Shen Siyue still made her give Li Xiang a blank look and turn around to continue cutting vegetables.
Hu Lili looked at the expressions of the three sisters-in-law of the Shen family, moved closer to Wang Huilian, and asked her quietly: "You are such a big family, and you can't take care of a little girl?"
Wang Huilian curled her lips and whispered back, "That little bastard is really cruel! He slashes people with a knife every day."
"She herself is a worthless person, but who among us good people is willing to exchange our lives for hers?"
"So my old man said, just pretend that the Shen family doesn't have this person. For the sake of the village chief, we'll kick her out after the New Year."
"If this happened in someone else's home, she would have been strangled to death."
Hu Lili asked her curiously: "Will she still live in the village after the Chinese New Year? Isn't there any vacant house in the village?"
These educated youths have to make do with the villagers, so how can Shen Siyue have a place to live?
Speaking of this, Wang Huilian finally showed an expression of relief: "There is a dilapidated house outside the village that used to be used as a land guard. It doesn't even have a roof. They said they would let her live there temporarily."
After saying that, he smiled at Hu Lili.
That smile was as gloating as it could be.
Hu Lili tilted her head and thought about it. It seemed that there was indeed a dilapidated house some distance away from the village entrance.
When the four of them went to the town, she took a special look and saw that there seemed to be some wood piled around the house.
I didn’t expect that the house would be where Shen Siyue would live soon.
Hu Lili stood next to Wang Huilian, watching her cut vegetables and chatting with her.
Li Xiaoqin watched as Wang Huilian, the brainless woman, told Hu Lili everything about her family's and Shen Siyue's holiday.
This made Hu Lili's fire of gossip burn fiercely.
Especially when he heard that Chen Hongmei was trapped in that small shabby house by the villagers, he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
"Oh my god, your daughter and your uncle were taken away naked? Your daughter... still has the nerve to live?"
Hu Lili really didn't expect that there would be such explosive news in such a remote place?
Who said that rural people are simple?
This is even more extravagant than what those city people play with!
Wang Huilian also realized belatedly that she had exposed her daughter's ugly deeds and hurried to make amends.
"That... that little bitch framed our Hongmei. Our Hongmei has always been an obedient girl since she was little, but she was led astray by that bastard."
Li Xiaoqin looked up at Li Xiang who was standing silently by the stove.
No matter what, Li Xiang is always Shen Siyue’s biological mother.
It must have been hard to hear someone scolding your own daughter like this in front of you, right?
But Li Xiang just stood there silently, no one knew what she was thinking, and turned a deaf ear to Wang Huilian's slander.
Hu Lili glanced at Li Xiang. This mother actually allowed others to curse her own daughter. This was the first time Hu Lili had encountered such a thing in her life.
Li Xiaoqin couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she tugged at Li Xiang's shirt and said, "Go get some water and go into the house. Does Dad need to wash too?"
What are you still listening to here?
Either hide away quickly or tell Wang Huilian to shut up.
If you don't do either of them and just stand here as a stake, what's the point?
Li Xiang seemed to have just come to her senses from sleepwalking. She forced an awkward smile at Li Xiaoqin, then filled the basin with water and carried it into the house.
Wang Huilian turned her head to look at Li Xiang's back and spat softly: "Unlucky star!"
Although the sound was small, it still reached Li Xiang's ears.
She paused as she entered the house, her nose suddenly feeling sore.
In this family, anyone can bully her, isn't it just because they see that she has no son and no one to support her?
I don’t know when the third son’s wife will be able to get pregnant?
She really can't wait!
Li Xiaoqin interrupted Wang Huilian's chattering: "Sister-in-law, it's New Year's Day, why are you talking about these things? Say something happy, so that we can all have fun!"
After being interrupted by Li Xiaoqin, Wang Huilian's face froze for a moment.
She didn't expect that the third son's wife would embarrass her in front of Hu Lili!
But it was just as she reminded us, we shouldn't mention that little bitch during the New Year.
They are so happy and cheerful here, which is a slap in April's face!
After figuring it out, Wang Huilian smiled again and started chatting with Hu Lili about other gossip in the village.
At noon, the Shen family had a casual meal, and after eating, they started preparing to make dumplings.
In Northeast China, unless you are really hungry, you have to eat dumplings on New Year’s Eve.
Those who were better off ate pure white flour, while those who were less well off mixed it with sorghum rice flour, or simply made dumplings with only sorghum rice bread.
Hu Lili made dumplings with the Shen family, and they were talking and laughing, it was quite harmonious!
But at Shitou's house, Shen Siyue and his wife did not make do with their lunch.
There were meat and vegetables, and Shitou also steamed large white flour buns.
Pork stewed with vermicelli, braised pork, stewed pheasant, and braised spare ribs.
It's all meat anyway, and you can cook it in different ways.
Now if anyone tells Shen Siyue that eating too much meat is not good, she will definitely jump up and point at his nose and scold: It’s just that you eat too much and have nothing to do.
The two of them didn't care about etiquette. They grabbed the big steamed bun in one hand and kept picking up meat with the other hand, eating until their mouths were full of oil.
Shitou looked at Shen Siyue who was sitting opposite him and said with a smile: “It’s so enjoyable, it really satisfies your craving!”
Shen Siyue also smiled: “In the future, I will cook many more dishes, and I will cook them one by one for you to taste when I have time!”
Although Shen Siyue’s cooking skills are not up to the level of a restaurant chef, compared with these rural people who can’t eat meat for a few meals a year, she has seen and eaten a lot of good things!
Today the two of them cooked and ate together. Shitou felt that this was the happiest day he had had since his mother died!
