Chapter 45: Troublemaker
Li Guangyuan bent down to put the pig food bucket away, and asked Li Hongmei to help his mother into the house, and then he came to Lin Jiayi.
Lin Jiayi looked aggrieved and looked at him with red eyes, "Guangyuan, they are all lying, it's not true at all."
Li Guangyuan patted her shoulder and said, "Go back to your room and change your clothes first," and then he entered Mrs. Li's room under her expectant gaze.
Lin Jiayi shook hands with him. He didn't say who he believed in, but he still cared about her.
Li Guangyuan entered Li's mother's room, and old lady Li, who was still concerned about her youngest daughter, immediately began to wipe away tears.
Li Hongmei and Li Dongmei were about to cry when they saw Old Lady Li like this. Li Guangyuan said, "You two should go out first."
Li Hongmei and Li Dongmei looked at each other, then stood up and left the room.
Li Guangyuan sat opposite Old Lady Li and sighed, "Mom, you can't be too partial to Hongmei and Dongmei. If you continue to spoil them like this, they will become lawless."
Old Mrs. Li suddenly put down her hands that were covering her eyes and opened her eyes wide. Where was the tear in those eyes?
"Listen to what you are saying. She is your own sister, born from the same womb as you. That woman has only been in the house for a few days, and you already look down on your sister? Will you even look down on your mother in a few days? Okay, okay, I see. This is really marrying a wife and forgetting the mother. I will tell Hongmei and Dongmei in a while that we will be humble and worship your wife as the empress dowager. We can't let your wife be wronged or angry again. Even if we are slapped in the face or the shit is dumped on our heads, we have to bear it with a smile."
After saying this, she slapped her thigh and started crying, "I really haven't done well in my past lives. I became a widow at a young age, and had to eat coarse food to raise you three siblings. I finally found you a wife, and I thought you were going to enjoy life. But who knew that before you could enjoy this happiness, you would be despised by others. I feel like my life is too long..."
This time he didn't pretend and the tears just fell freely.
Seeing his mother really crying, Li Guangyuan quickly comforted her, "That's not what I meant. I'm not on anyone's side. How could I let her bully you? I was wrong. Don't be angry..."
Old lady Li's eyes were filled with tears. "Guangyuan, you are my only son, but I did it for your own good. I married you off to find a helper. Can you see any new bride in the village who has been married for such a long time like her without working in the fields? I feel sorry for you. The family has incurred a lot of debts just to marry her. I can't bear to see you getting up early and going to bed late, and living in hunger. I feel like a cat scratching a dog."
"Mom, please stop talking. I know everything."
"You know that you still spoil her like this? Take today's incident for example. You can feed a pig and spill the pig food. That's all food. Others haven't said anything yet, but you're putting the blame on your younger sister. How can she be a sister-in-law like this? I think she just doesn't like the three of us. And about the last incident, how long has it been since your two sisters have bought cloth to save money for you to marry a wife? How could your sisters not be jealous of her new clothes left and right? If I hadn't bought cloth to save money for her dowry, would I have wronged your two sisters? Now when I think about this, I feel... It's all my fault that I'm incompetent and let you live a poor life..."
Seeing his mother's sad face, Li Guangyuan felt distressed. He thought of something and took out a roll of money from his pocket and stuffed it into the
In the hands of old lady Li.
Mrs. Li still had tears on her face. She counted the money while trembling. It was 50 yuan in total. She looked up at him and asked, "Where did you get the money?"
Li Guangyuan pursed his lips and said, "Jiayi gave me all the betrothal gifts. You can use this 50 yuan to pay off the debt and buy a piece of cloth for my younger sister."
When she heard that the betrothal money was in her son's hands, Mrs. Li burst into laughter.
"That's right. Since you're married, you're a family. You two should work together and live a good life. When Mom passes away, she will have an explanation to give to your dad, and you will be worthy of your Li family."
Li Guangyuan nodded, watched Old Lady Li counting the money with a smile, and then left the house.
On the other side, Lin Jiayi went back to the house, changed her clothes, and was still sulking.
Li Guangyuan's mother is unreasonable and his two sisters are troublemakers at home.
He doesn't help her at all all day long and just follows her mother to bully her.
Li Hongmei is 19 this year, and Li Dongmei, one year younger, is 18 years old, so they can both be considered as her husband's family.
Lin Jiayi thought about how in her previous life, Li Guangyuan’s two younger sisters got married when they were already quite old.
By that time, the Li family's business had already been established, and the two men were looking for partners with good conditions, both of whom were engaged in commercial grain production in the city.
There was a flash of sarcasm in his eyes. After bullying her, he wanted to step on her and find a wealthy family? She is not as easy to control as Lin Chuxia.
In this life, she wants to marry both of them off early and not let them get any benefit from her.
This is the consequence of offending Lin Jiayi.
Just as she was thinking about Li Guangyuan's return, Lin Jiayi glanced at him and turned her back to him.
"You've come back to me to ask for an explanation? Let me tell you, Li Guangyuan, what did you tell me in the beginning? You said you would treat me well for the rest of my life, but after only a few days of marriage, you teamed up with them to bully me. I'm the only outsider in the family, right? Then I might as well just go back to my parents' home."
As I was talking, I went to pack my clothes.
Li Guangyuan quickly hugged her and said, "Look at you. I haven't said anything yet, but you're already feeling wronged. How could I possibly join them in bullying you?"
"How can I not feel wronged? Don't you see how much your two sisters bully me? They were the ones who splashed water on me and caused me to slip, but they still blame me. Your mother even mentioned the exchange marriage, as if I really came to your Li family because I couldn't get married. Li Guangyuan, go and find out if I was destined to marry into the Qin family. My sister didn't like your Li family and insisted on marrying into the Qin family, so I, as her elder sister, exchanged with her. To be honest, I shouldn't have exchanged with her. I can find someone better by canceling the marriage with your Li family, and you can just be single."
Li Guangyuan believed what Lin Jiayi said. Not to mention the Qin family's financial situation, after meeting Qin Yang in person, he felt that he was not comparable to the other party in any way.
Only a fool would leave a man like that and marry herself instead.
If Lin Jiayi hadn't given in to her sister and not looked down on him, he might still be single now.
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I was wrong. My mother is old and it's inevitable that she will be confused sometimes. Don't take it personally. After all, she is my mother. My father passed away early, and it was not easy for her to raise the three of us alone. Please be patient for my sake. I will always remember your kindness in my heart," said Li Guangyuan, and kissed her on the cheek.
Lin Jiayi was still in his arms and rolled her eyes at him. "Is it enough to just remember it in your heart?"
Li Guangyuan felt itchy when she looked at him, so he leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Not only remember it in your heart, but also remember it here."
