at the same time,
Chu Yun took her mother to finish her meal and was about to go back to the hotel to rest.
As a result, I met a woman who knew my mother at the hotel entrance.
"Lihua? Oh, it's really you. How come you're so tanned?"
The middle-aged woman was dressed smartly, with slightly high cheekbones and a shrewd look between her brows. She was wearing a work uniform and carrying a shoulder bag.
She looked at Li Lihua closely and turned around in surprise, "Oh my god, how did you age so much?"
Li Lihua was a little embarrassed. She looked carefully twice but still couldn't recognize who the other person was.
I had no choice but to ask softly, "Who are you?"
The woman tutted her tongue, a hint of arrogance between her brows: "You are really a noble person who forgets things easily. I am your neighbor across the street from your mother's family, Aunt Wang's niece, Sun Yan."
Li Lihua then recalled that she and her had only met a few times when they were young, so they couldn't say they were very familiar with each other.
Out of politeness, Lin Lihua still greeted them and said apologetically, "Long time no see. I've been away from home for so long that I can't quite remember what you look like."
"It's okay. You've been sent down with your husband for more than 20 years. Life on the island is poor and miserable. After Zhang Jun and I got married, he was transferred here to be the director. I also got a regular employee because of this. We can live a good life without worrying about money."
Sun Yan didn't really want to say hello to her, but she came here to show off because she saw how miserable she was.
When Zhang Jun was young, he had a crush on Li Lihua, but unfortunately Li Lihua fell in love with the son of a poor capitalist.
Later, when she was with Zhang Jun, she always felt uncomfortable.
It would have been fine if she hadn't seen him before, but now that she had, and Li Lihua was living such a miserable life, she couldn't be happier.
Li Lihua felt a little embarrassed after hearing this and was just about to find an excuse to take her daughter away.
Sun Yan, who was standing opposite, looked at Chu Yun. This girl looked a bit like Li Lihua when she was young. She said sourly:
"This is your daughter, isn't she? She looks quite like you, but she's not as filial as my daughter. She dresses like a city dweller, while her mother wears hand-me-down clothes."
Before Chu Yun could speak, Li Lihua directly retorted: "Sun Yan, what do you mean! My daughter is very filial. You don't know anything about it. What right do you have to say this? What does my daughter's condition mean to you? Do we know each other well?"
Li Lihua is gentle and reserved, and is always kind to others. Chu Yun has been around people for so long, but has never heard her mother speak so loudly.
At the same time, a warm feeling surged in her heart. It was her mother protecting her.
Li Lihua clenched her fists, her heart pounding with excitement, and she stared seriously at the person opposite her.
She doesn't allow anyone to hurt her daughter, not even verbal gossip.
Sun Yan was frightened by Li Lihua. In her impression, this person would blush whenever she spoke. How come her temper became worse as she got older?
But when she saw her dark and dry face and her rustic clothes, she curled her lips in disdain.
"That's what I said. Lihua, why are you so anxious? Rural women are fierce and aggressive. You must have picked up these bad habits after staying on the island for so long."
Li Lihua's face turned red with anger. "Stop being so sarcastic. What's wrong with rural people? Without rural people growing crops and making food, you wouldn't be able to eat your fill."
Many people passing by looked over here. Sun Yan felt embarrassed, snorted in dissatisfaction, muttered curses and prepared to leave.
Chu Yun stretched out her foot, but Sun Yan didn't notice and stumbled, falling down in an instant.
"ah--"
A child on the opposite side of the road burst into laughter and pointed at Sun Yan and said, "Hahaha, look, she fell into dog poop."
Sun Yan ignored the pain and quickly got up in fear. As a result, she saw that her hands and sleeves were stained with dog shit. She screamed and her face turned red and blue.
"Ouch, who was the wicked one who tripped me? Was it you?"
Sun Yan angrily pointed at Chu Yun and cursed, "You little girl, you must have tripped me! Believe it or not, I'll take you to the police station!"
Chu Yun raised her hand to cover her nose, pulled her mother back a few steps, and yelled, "Ugh, it stinks. Stay away from me. It's none of my business if you fall down by yourself."
Li Lihua didn't notice her daughter tripping her, and immediately protected her daughter behind her, cursing: "First you mocked me, and then you wrongly accused my daughter. You are so shameless. Believe it or not, I will go to your unit and talk to your leader."
"You, you mother and daughter are absolutely sick! Just wait for me!"
Sun Yan was so angry that her face turned blue. She listened to the onlookers pointing and talking at her, and left in shame.
Li Lihua breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Yun leaned over and gave her mother a thumbs-up, praising her with a smile, "Mom, you were so awesome just now. That woman was so scared that she ran away."
Li Lihua's face flushed immediately, and she quickly waved her hands to explain, "Mom just said that because she saw you were anxious, and those words were just to scare her."
Chu Yun smiled and put her arm around her mother's shoulders, saying happily, "She should be scared. These people deserve to be scolded. Our attitude towards others depends on their attitude towards us. It feels so good to have my mother's protection~"
Li Lihua was also very happy to see her daughter so happy. "Don't be afraid, Xiaoyun. With your mother here, I won't let anyone bully you in the future."
After saying this, Li Lihua felt a little excited deep in her heart.
At this moment, she decided to be tougher. Just like her daughter said, her attitude towards them depends on their attitude towards her. She should not suffer the grievances of these people with bad intentions and should just let them go.
After leaving the island, she will still live with her daughter. After all, her daughter is still young and she has to protect her well.
At this time, Chu Yun didn't know that her casual encouragement would make a mother stronger.
