"I……"
Without waiting for Xie Li to say anything to refuse, she continued, "Your uncle is a nobody and doesn't have anything good to offer you. Eat these and don't be dissatisfied."
She hurriedly pushed the fruit plate towards Xie Li.
It's not easy to ask for help from a smiling person, and her grandfather is still in their house, so she has to give him face.
Xie Li smiled and took some fruit to eat, praising its deliciousness, "This orange is sweet, good stuff."
"I asked someone to buy them from the orchard. They were all big ones."
"Second Uncle has a wide network of contacts."
"Your second uncle is just a freeloader, how can he compare to you? I heard that your Jianhua has made friends with some Chinese and is doing business with them, right?"
Xie Li smiled and said, "Let's get to know a few people and do some small business."
"Hey, doing business with foreigners, how can this be a small business? This is a cross-border business, making a lot of money. Xiaoli, you are a wise man, you bet on the right treasure back then."
Hearing this, Xie Li felt very embarrassed.
Zhang Hui looked at the door before approaching Xie Li and lowered her voice and said, "Don't think I'm following them in accusing you of only thinking about men and not caring about your brothers. In fact, I always feel in my heart that what you did was right."
Um?
Xie Li thought, you didn't say that before, and it didn't seem like you were pretending when you scolded me like that.
"Think about it, no matter how good your brothers are or how much money they make, who will enjoy it?"
Shirley blinked.
Zhang Hui said: "Brother's wife and his children, how can you, as a sister, enjoy the happiness? At most, they give you a few melons and two dates as a thank you, which is considered to be kind. Obviously, you have contributed the most, right? So, only the money earned by your husband can be used for you and your children. What is that called? Oh, yes, that's called common property of the husband and wife."
Xie Li looked at her indifferently.
Zhang Hui added: "Look at your third uncle, let's take him as an example. He is the oldest son of your grandparents. He is the youngest. Your grandma left when he was a few years old. Whether he goes to school or starts a family, your father will help him. Finally, if he makes money, can he help your family?
After your father died, no one cared about you and your brothers and sisters. In my opinion, it would have been better to save the money and give it to you, so that you wouldn't have lived such a miserable life. "
Xie Li remained silent, and her words brought her thoughts back to the two years before her father's death.
I think even if their father left them some money, it would be of no use.
When that cruel woman saw how heavy the family burden was, she took away my father's death compensation, the little money the family had saved over the years, and various receipts.
There was nothing left for them.
In order to survive, she and Lin An went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and caught wild fish in the river in the middle of winter, otherwise their family would not be able to survive.
My third uncle and his wife were extremely hateful, and my second uncle and his wife were not much better.
The difference is that the third uncle accepted his father's kindness, but did not return a single cent.
"Xiao Li, what's wrong?"
Seeing that she was in a daze, Zhang Hui called her.
Xie Li shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter who you choose. What matters is whether you have good conscience."
After saying this, she stood up and left without waiting for Zhang Hui to speak again.
"Aunt, I have to go back."
Zhang Hui: "Ah? Didn't you say you wanted to stay for dinner? I asked your uncle to go out and buy meat."
"No, I have a flight tomorrow and I have a lot of things to deal with today."
After saying that, she picked up her bag and left. When she reached the door, she said goodbye to Lin Xinghua and went straight downstairs.
Pregnant Huang Linlin came out of the house.
"Where's the eldest sister?"
"Leave."
Zhang Hui was very depressed. She stamped her feet and glared at her old man.
Seeing her go back to the house, Huang Linlin followed her, holding her belly.
"Mom, what's going on? Why did you leave after just a short while?"
"How should I know? She said she was busy."
"No matter how busy you are, you can't be too busy to have time for a meal, right? Mom, have you asked about the business?"
"Oh, she said she was leaving just after I mentioned it."
While the two were talking, Xie Zhiguo, who was buying meat, came back.
When he heard that Xie Li had left, he angrily threw the meat on the table.
"It's really useless. I can't keep anyone."
"You can't blame me for this. She wanted to leave and said she was busy. What could I do?"
"Did you say something you shouldn't have said?"
Zhang Hui said: "I didn't say anything. I just said something to ease the situation."
"What?"
"We used to scold her for neglecting her brothers for a man. I think this is the biggest grudge between us. After all, she got married early, unlike Xie Linan and his three brothers."
Xie Zhiguo nodded.
"Then I said, although some people think she is wrong, I actually think she is right." Zhang Hui repeated to Xie Zhiguo and Huang Linlin what she had said to Xie Li.
Huang Linlin didn't react after hearing this and even thought her mother-in-law was right.
She thought that what Xie Li cared about most was that she got married early and didn't care about the brothers from her natal family.
She should be happy that someone understands her.
In fact, they didn't know about the relationship between Xie Li and Zhang Jianhua.
However, Xie Zhiguo figured out what was going on and called Zhang Hui an idiot.
"You idiot, why are you bringing this up?"
Zhang Hui was confused. "Zhiguo, what are you talking about? We did scold her for this matter, calling her shameless and asking her not to come back to her parents' home. I think I should apologize to her for this."
"Humph, you're still talking, you idiot."
"This... Shouldn't I apologize?"
"You should apologize, but you should apologize, why did you scold Lin An and Lao San?"
Zhang Hui: “…”
She said with an aggrieved look: "Shouldn't the third child be scolded? The third child's education was provided by the elder brother, and the elder brother also helped the third child get married. He helped the third child so much, but he didn't help us. Later he died, and you took over his job. , I don’t care about what happened before. Isn’t the third brother too unscrupulous? The eldest brother helped him so much, but he only cared about himself and didn’t take care of his children at all. Why did I call him such a white-eyed wolf? "
"Okay, you can scold me if you want, but what do you think Lin An did?"
"I... I didn't say anything, right? I just said that Lin An made money and enjoyed his wife and children. What's wrong with that?"
"There's nothing wrong with what you said, but you put it all together and you're saying Lin An is wrong. What you mean is that if Xiaoli had helped Lin An, Lin An would be like Xie Lao San now. What did Lin An do to Xiaoli? Xiaoli was married and helped her own husband, so that's understandable. She didn't help Lin An, but Lin An never held a grudge against her, and Xiaoli has always felt guilty about that. Now they get along pretty well as siblings, and you're saying this, aren't you trying to sow discord between them?"
