“If Uncle feels sorry for her, he might as well take her back to stay for a while, so she can keep Xiuer company.”
Guan Yuxi leaned against the door frame, a smile on her face.
But that smile looked so fake.
Leng Qingshu was speechless. "She has no relation to my family. What would it mean if I took her back?"
Guan Yuxi pressed Leng Lie down and looked at him with a smile, "Uncle, you're mistaken. Brother Lie and I call you Uncle. Leng Huan is also your niece. Besides, she was born in Lengjiagou."
Leng Qingshu shook her head, feeling a little dizzy.
She got me all confused.
He staggered and turned away.
Aunt Du came up to her and said, "Xiao Xi, don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. He's drunk and doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut."
She glanced at Leng Lie and said, "Xiao Lie, to put it bluntly, your sister deserves what she has today."
Please don't bring her home, otherwise what will Xiaoxi do?
That little girl has been cunning since she was a child. If you bring her back and Xiaoxi suffers any injustice, we won't stand for it!
Leng Lie put his arm around Guan Yuxi's arm, his face full of doting affection, "Don't worry, Auntie, I know what I'm doing."
However, my uncle seems to be going astray lately, so it's best if my aunt keeps a close eye on him.
Even if someone has drunk too much, it's still wrong to meddle in other people's business.
Since Uncle Leng came to his house late at night to say such inappropriate things, he didn't mind giving him a little naughty treatment.
He thought Guan Yuxi would blame him.
Unexpectedly, Guan Yuxi also nodded and said, "Auntie should recite the mantra for Uncle."
It's definitely not good for him to be so easily swayed these days. The past, including that person and my second uncle's family, are all lessons learned the hard way!
Aunt Du's expression changed immediately.
She hurriedly said goodbye and went home to deal with her husband.
Guan Yuxi said, "Do you think our fire is burning too brightly?"
"Isn't Wang good enough? I think Uncle has been getting a bit cocky lately."
Leng Lie didn't care at all. He closed the courtyard gate, took his wife's hand, and went back into the house.
In this freezing weather, I'm already not happy about being dragged out of bed.
How can one possibly be in the right mood to consider other people's feelings?
"How come Li Mod and his two sons are so resilient? I thought they would just... "
Guan Yuxi lamented that evil can persist for a thousand years.
Leng Lie was filled with remorse.
If he had known, he shouldn't have trusted Fang Yuan. If he had been the one to do it, they wouldn't be alive today.
"But it's fine too, they died so easily, it's too easy for them!"
Guan Yuxi said indignantly.
She then pulled Leng Lie along, saying, "Let's go see Leng Huan tomorrow. I promised to give her a thousand yuan."
The next day, after finishing their work at the food factory, the two went to see Leng Huan together.
Li Chunhua and her two children built a small shed in front of their house, which had been burned down.
"What are you doing here? To laugh at us?"
Li Chunhua was furious the moment she saw Guan Yuxi.
Li Mod and his two sons were sentenced to prison, and she knew that Guan Yuxi was behind it.
If she hadn't instigated Leng Huan, why would Leng Huan have gone to the Armed Forces Department to report her?
That night's reflection, the disappointment and despair towards Li Mod, and the desperate courage seemed to last only a moment before being completely dispelled by Li Mod and his two sons.
Now that things have come to this, she no longer holds any hope for her son, Leng Lie.
Leng Huan greeted Guan Yuxi warmly as soon as she saw her, "Sister-in-law!"
Guan Yuxi raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with her sudden intimacy.
In the past, when they met, Leng Huan would either pretend to be a delicate and weak girl or speak coldly to her. She didn't want this sudden enthusiasm.
"Here you go!"
Guan Yuxi took out a bankbook and handed it to her.
"Thank you so much, sister-in-law! You're so kind!"
Leng Huan was overjoyed and opened his arms to give her a big hug.
Then, she walked up to Leng Can and said, "Second Brother, we have money now, we can go wherever we want!"
Leng Can's expression was complicated. He looked at Li Chunhua and said, "Mom, come with us."
Li Chunhua snatched the fold book from Leng Huan's hand, "Where are you going?"
"What will happen to your dad and the others if we leave?"
Leng Huan screamed and tried to snatch it back, "I don't care if they die!"
"You can leave or not, it's up to you. If you want to die, don't drag me and my second brother down with you!"
She looked at Leng Can, "Second Brother, please help me!"
Leng Can looked at his mother, his brows furrowing. "Mom, that was for Huanhuan from my sister-in-law..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Chunhua interrupted him, "Aren't you all my children?"
What do you need so much money for, you little kid?
Still want to leave? Where can you go? Once you're out there, you'll have no fields, no land, no place to stay. Will the northwest wind fill your stomach?
I'll keep the money for you. When you get married, I'll use it to prepare your dowry!
Without saying a word, Li Chunfeng stuffed the memorial into his pocket.
Leng Huan was so anxious she jumped up and down.
Leng Can went forward to ask for it, but to no avail.
Guan Yuxi looked coldly at Li Chunhua, "You can't withdraw money from that passbook; you need a password."
Besides, it's not even in your name, so even if you took it, it wouldn't do you any good!
She had anticipated this move.
Otherwise, it would be better to just give Leng Huan cash directly, to avoid trouble.
Upon hearing this, Leng Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped trying to take it from Li Chunhua.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
She sincerely thanked Guan Yuxi.
Guan Yuxi nodded. "I'll go to town tomorrow to help you get a new bankbook."
