Hu Lili sat there for a long time, taking her breath away. She was torn between shouting or enduring it, but she chose to keep silent.
She turned over everything in her bag and found that nothing was missing. This made her realize that even if she told others that her bag had been turned inside out, she would not be able to do anything to Wang Huilian.
You might end up getting yourself into trouble.
In fact, when Wang Huilian was rummaging through Hu Lili's backpack, she didn't really want to take anything.
She was just curious about what the girls from the city had in their bags.
Hu Lili, who chose to keep the peace, decided to find other educated youth to go to the town tomorrow.
She is going to buy a padlock.
When she came to Dongliang Village, she thought of all the daily necessities, but she didn't expect that she would need a lock.
Now she couldn't trust anyone in Dongliang Village.
At least those educated youth, like her, were outsiders to this village, and they shouldn't cheat her for the time being.
Hu Lili repacked the things in her backpack and put them back in the kang cabinet. Then she got up to wash her face, untied the quilt she had tied up and prepared to go to bed.
For convenience, she spread the bedding next to the kang cabinet, which is at the very end of the kang.
Wang Huilian squinted her eyes and watched Hu Lili lie down. Her tense and stiff body finally relaxed.
Then he pretended to just wake up, mumbled a few words about needing to pee, and got up and walked away.
She couldn't stay in the house any longer. She felt that this educated youth Hu would open his eyes at any time and point at her and accuse her of stealing something. She better run away!
When she left the room, Hu Lili also opened her eyes.
He stared at the still shaking door curtain, feeling full of disdain.
With such limited skills, you still dare to search my own bag?
The next day, when Hu Lili got up and was about to brush her teeth, she heard Wang Huilian say, "Hu Zhiqing, we are going to cook sweet potatoes for breakfast today. Bring your portion with you. You can just convert it into millet and give it to me."
Unexpectedly, Hu Lili said, "No, I won't eat this morning."
She doesn't want to be fooled. How is this thing converted? By kilogram or something else?
How much does a pound of sweet potato cost?
Only a fool would talk to her about these things.
Seeing that Hu Lili did not do as she said, Wang Huilian immediately became unhappy.
But before she could get angry, Hu Lili scooped a teacup of water from the water tank and went outside to brush her teeth.
"Hey? Hey?" Wang Huilian called out twice towards Hu Lili's back, but got no response. She was so angry that she threw the sackcloth in her hand onto the stove.
Just when Wang Huilian was angry, Old Man Shen in the east room suddenly called her: "Old man's wife, come in."
Wang Huilian spat in the direction of Hu Lili and walked into the house with her eyes rolled.
Old Man Shen lowered his voice and reprimanded her: "Why are you in such a hurry? She just arrived and is on high alert. You can't be so impatient to get some food from her, right?"
Old man Shen felt annoyed when he saw his eldest daughter-in-law, who was always causing trouble but could not do anything for him.
Just like that, even if a big piece of fat meat was placed in front of her, she could still lose it.
The city kids are not fools. They will try every means to take advantage of you as soon as they come up. Wouldn’t they be suspicious?
Wang Huilian's face turned red after being scolded, and she stood there stammering, trying to defend herself.
Everyone in this family just sits on the kang and waits for something to be ready. They work so hard but still get nothing good in return.
Wang Huilian said angrily: "I can't do it, then let someone else do it!"
She just said it casually, but she didn't expect Old Man Shen to nod his head seriously: "You are really not suitable for getting close to others, um..."
Old man Shen thought while looking around at the people in the family.
In fact, it would be best to let the third son's wife handle this matter, but he also realized that the two were about the same age, and he was afraid that the third son's wife might have some hostility towards Hu Lili.
Finally, he fixed his eyes on Li Xiang: "Let the second son's wife help Hu Zhiqing, and you should talk less in the future."
The first sentence was addressed to Li Xiang, and the second sentence was of course addressed to Wang Huilian.
At this moment, both Li Xiang and Wang Huilian were a little confused.
Li Xiang didn't expect that her father-in-law would ask her to trick Hu Zhiqing.
Wang Huilian was angry that her father-in-law allowed Li Xiang to dominate her.
The second son’s wife is just a lump of wood, and her heart is made of stone. What does she know?
But Old Man Shen really liked the honesty of his second son's wife.
Only in this way can Hu Lili let down her guard.
No matter what, the Shen family can't get involved. At most, the second son's wife will help Hu Lili with more work.
For Old Man Shen, this is a business that is sure to make a profit.
So when Hu Lili came in after brushing her teeth, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, who always surrounded her, looked at her gloomily and turned away.
But he could tell at a glance that Shen Lao Er's honest wife gave him an unnatural smile.
She didn't know what the Shen family was planning, but she didn't intend to delve into it.
She went into the room, put away her toothbrush, found the sewing thread from her bag, and wrapped the two small handles on the kang cabinet door around and around.
This thing can't prevent theft, but the way she ties the knot is very special and most people can't imitate it. It will also be helpful to wait for her to come back and know if anyone has rummaged through her cabinet again.
After getting herself ready, Hu Lili put on cotton gloves and prepared to go out.
I happened to run into Li Xiang who was washing dishes in the outer room.
Hu Lili rolled her eyes, and then suddenly smiled at Li Xiang: "Second Aunt, I'm going to the town to buy some things. I'm going out!"
Li Xiang didn't know why Hu Lili told her specifically before she went out, but she still nodded to indicate that she heard it.
When the people in the east room heard the news, several of them started to think.
Wang Huilian got downstairs and walked to the door of the room. She saw Hu Lili go out with her own eyes, and then she wanted to go to the west room.
Unexpectedly, his eldest son Shen Weimin stood behind him at some point.
Wang Huilian was startled: "Oh my god, you scared me to death, can you make some noise when you walk?"
Shen Weimin didn’t care whether Wang Huilian was frightened or not, and directly pulled her back to the west room: “Mom, give me some money.”
Wang Huilian was shocked and couldn't help asking him, "What do you want the money for?"
His eldest son is a bit dull and doesn't talk much. He is not as naughty as his younger son. He has never been heard asking for money since he grew up.
And Shen Weimin didn't say what he wanted the money for, he just kept asking her mother to give him the money.
Wang Huilian was so angry that she raised her hand and hit him: "How can I have any money? I want to save the few cents I have saved for you to marry a wife?"
Unexpectedly, Shen Weimin suddenly felt a little unnatural after hearing this, and he didn’t dare to look directly at his mother.
Before, when his mother talked about finding him a wife, he didn't feel anything. But now, when this was mentioned, Hu Lili's face unconsciously appeared in his mind.
