Chapter 122: Indirect Blaming
Li Guangyuan coaxed her gently, "It's not necessarily that they took it. What if you remembered it wrongly? Dongmei and Hongmei are not at home now. You want me to go find my mother and tell her what to do? If you really remembered it wrongly, it would be very inappropriate for the whole family."
"I would not be mistaken. I clearly put 120 yuan in here. Now there is only 100 yuan. This is all our hard-earned money. Now we have no vegetables to sell. We are still hoping to use this money as capital to start other businesses."
Li Guangyuan didn't care. How could they do business in such cold weather? It would be better to take a good rest, stay at home over the winter, and then continue selling vegetables when the vegetables from the fields are harvested in the spring next year.
He is already familiar with this job and can make money from it, so he doesn't want to mess around with it.
But he also knew that if he said this, Lin Jiayi would definitely not agree.
"100 yuan is enough for other businesses."
"It's not about whether it's enough or not. They are stealing my money again. What did you promise me last time? Have you forgotten?"
Li Guangyuan was a little impatient. "I've already told you. Maybe you remembered it wrongly. What's the point of stealing? It's so unpleasant for a family to say such things."
"You think it's ugly when I say stealing, but why don't you think it's ugly when they do it? I'm their sister-in-law, and going through my things without my consent is stealing..."
There was a noise called "clang" outside, and then Old Mrs. Li was seen in the yard, pointing at the chickens and scolding them.
The noise just now was the sound of her putting the chicken feeding bowl on the ground.
"You don't even lay an egg every day, and you still have the nerve to show off? I serve you delicious food and drinks every day, what else do you want? Are you a golden phoenix or something..."
Lin Jiayi's face suddenly darkened, and she pointed outside and said to Li Guangyuan, "Are you just going to listen to your mother's indirect criticism?"
Li Guangyuan was a little annoyed. "What do you want? How could my mother be so indirect? Do you care if she scolds a chicken?"
"Is that a chicken curse?"
They have been married for nearly half a year, but she is still pregnant. Old Mrs. Li has been dissatisfied for a long time.
Before, she and Li Guangyuan were doing business outside and were away from home all day long. Only with the money coming in could Mrs. Li live in peace.
Now that there is no work in the fields and no business to do, the old lady has started looking for trouble again.
That's not scolding a chicken for not laying eggs, that's scolding her.
As they were talking, Li Hongmei and Li Dongmei came in from outside, holding a net bag in one hand, which was filled with a lot of good things, and a bag filled with meat buns in the other hand.
As soon as he entered the yard, he said to Mrs. Li, "Mom, look, I bought you some meat buns."
Mrs. Li smiled happily, "My daughter is really filial. She always thinks of her mother no matter what she does."
"That's right, you are my mother."
Looking at the loving and filial mother and daughter in the yard, Lin Jiayi couldn't bear it anymore and rushed out.
"Li Hongmei, Li Dongmei, did you two touch my things?"
Li Dongmei stepped back feeling guilty, while Li Hongmei looked nonchalant, "Who touched your things? Don't accuse a good person without any evidence."
"Did I frame you? There was 20 yuan missing from the bag where I put my money. You took it. Where did you get the money to buy these things, and the meat buns?"
They actually bought two bags. When did their family become so generous?
"Hey, sister-in-law, look at what you said, how come we have no money? The money we buy things is given by mom," she said, turning around and asking Mrs. Li, "Mom, is this the money you gave me?"
Old Mrs. Li looked at Lin Jiayi with her eyes drooping. She neither said she gave nor said she didn't give. She said, "Guangyuan's wife, is this your rule as a sister-in-law? When something is missing, you don't look for your own reasons but blame your sister-in-law. What good is it for you to ruin your sister-in-law's reputation? I told you, even if the money is Dongmeihong's,
Mei should take what she gets. As sisters, isn't it right for them to spend some of their brother and sister-in-law's money? In my opinion, you should give them pocket money every month. ”
Li Hongmei and Li Dongmei's eyes brightened up when they heard what Old Lady Li said. Their brother and sister-in-law had made money from selling vegetables recently, but they didn't give the money to their mother. They would be acceptable if they were given pocket money on a monthly basis.
Lin Jiayi couldn't help but spit out blood when she heard this, "Why?"
"Because you are their brother and sister-in-law, I still say the same thing. Hongmei and Dongmei are already grown up, and as a sister-in-law, you don't buy them a few more sets of clothes to dress them up, but you dress yourself up all day long. What do you want to do? I am not dead yet, and you want to trample on my daughter's reputation?"
After she finished speaking, she called Li Guangyuan over and said, "Take good care of your wife. She doesn't do her job all day and makes the family unhappy. It's all because of you."
He turned around and showed a different face. He smiled and invited his two daughters into the house to talk.
Li Dongmei and Li Hongmei supported Old Lady Li on both sides. Li Hongmei even turned her head and made a face at Lin Jiayi.
Lin Jiayi was so angry that she jumped up and down. Li Guangyuan's face darkened. "Have you had enough of making trouble?"
Lin Jiayi looked at Li Guangyuan in disbelief. Since they got married, he had never said anything harsh to her. Even when she had conflicts with his mother and sister, he always coaxed her. But now he said that she was making a fuss, when it was clearly their fault.
Li Guangyuan also felt that his words were too harsh, but he was unwilling to admit his mistake, so he turned around and went back to his room.
Lin Jiayi chased after him, "Li Guangyuan, tell me clearly, who is making trouble? Your sister stole money and you didn't care, and you said I was making trouble. Are you a man?"
"They all said they didn't take your money."
Li Guangyuan was a little annoyed. Why should a family care so much? But Lin Jiayi always treated him as her own and often made a big fuss over such trivial matters.
"Are you saying I'm lying?" Lin Jiayi trembled with anger.
Doesn't he know what kind of people his two sisters are?
Last time he used her dowry to make clothes, and this time he obviously took their money to buy things.
"I didn't say that, you said it yourself," Li Guangyuan sat on the edge of the kang without even looking at her.
Lin Jiayi couldn't stand it anymore and rushed over to beat him, "Are you still a man? You don't even protect your own wife, you coward..."
Li Guangyuan was punched twice on the shoulder. A hint of coldness flashed in his lowered eyes, and his fingertips bent involuntarily.
At this moment, Lin Jiayi suddenly cried out in pain and squatted on the ground, holding her stomach.
Li Guangyuan glanced at her indifferently, and saw that his face was pale and cold sweat was coming out. It didn't seem like he was pretending. Then he bent down to help him, "What's wrong?"
"My stomach... My stomach hurts..."
Li Guangyuan thought of something and quickly carried the man to the kang. "Wait a moment, I'll go get a doctor."
There was a barefoot doctor in the village, and Li Guangyuan brought the doctor in shortly.
The three people in Mrs. Li's room had been watching through the glass when Li Guangyuan hurriedly pushed his bicycle out.
Seeing the barefoot doctor coming back, Li Dongmei muttered curiously, "What happened?"
