Li Fumin, who arrived a step late, glanced at Aunt Hua with a resentful look. It was a brief glance; he was afraid that if he stared any longer, others would notice. After all, he was the brigade leader and had to save face.
“Listen to me, it seems that after Li Jiafu came back that day, Li Lao Er and Zhao Da Hua learned that they couldn’t get the money back, and the next day they changed their attitude towards Li Jiafu.”
Aunt Hua started, and the other aunties followed suit.
“Yes, Li Jiaqiang and Li Erya used to be treated like cattle and horses, but now it’s Li Jiafu who’s being treated like cattle and horses.”
"That's right. Every day, they have to go to work in the fields before dawn and don't come back until dark. They are more capable than an old ox."
"Li Jiafu is not capable at all. He was clearly forced into this situation by Li Lao Er and Zhao Da Hua. It's only right that he has to pay for his own mistakes."
"The more miserable Li Jiafu's life is, the better Li Jiaqiang and Li Erya's life is, the opposite of what it used to be."
"I heard that Li Lao Er and Zhao Da Hua are planning to send Li Jia Qiang and Li Er Ya back to school."
......
They talked animatedly, one after another, while Li Yi and the other two listened attentively.
By carefully listening to each sentence, the key information was found: Li Lao Er and Zhao Da Hua had started to favor the younger child.
Li Yi glanced at Li Jiaqiang and Li Erya out of the corner of his eye, and his eye twitched.
Are Li Lao Er and Zhao Da Hua out of their minds?
[Trying to hurt the big ones doesn't work, so they only hurt the small ones. Have they never considered that the old wounds can't heal completely?]
Is it possible that someone with only half a brain can't treat everyone equally?
Speechless, Li Yiyi simply couldn't understand these people's thought processes.
The examples of Old Man Li and Old Woman Li are not obvious enough; Li Lao Er and Zhao Da Hua will have to follow in their footsteps.
He schemed his whole life, only to end up alone and helpless, yet he still believed he had everything under control.
"I'm not going to say anything more. I heard that the person Li Fuyi is recognizing this time is a very important person."
Aunt Hua changed the subject, which didn't arouse much interest.
"Last time it was someone important, and then what?"
After a moment of silence, Aunt Hua clearly remembered Wang Shuai, the protagonist of the last family reunion.
"No, this time is different. I heard it's a big shot from Beijing."
The word "Beijing" instantly drew Li Yiyi and the others' attention.
No way, a sudden feeling of "I knew it" washed over me. Who else could be from Beijing besides Jiang Zuoqiu?
If it weren't for Jiang Zuoque, would Li Laosan have traveled all that way back to reunite with his relatives?
Will we keep asking them to participate?
If it weren't for Jiang Zuoque, how could Li Laosan's family have returned from the Northwest?
As expected, the villains and the main characters can't coexist peacefully.
[Jiang Zuoque and Li Fuyi will likely only recognize each other later in the story, which, according to the plot, will take about two more years.]
The plot has changed, the reunion has been brought forward, and Jiang Zuoque has ultimately become entangled with Li Fuyi and the others.
[Father, Mother, don't worry, I will protect you.]
Since Jiang Zuoque wants to come, let's make him slink away like a stray dog.
As if bearing a sacred mission, Li Yiyi's little face was full of seriousness.
Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting smiled faintly and remained silent. They had guessed it yesterday; their daughter's reaction time was a bit slow!
"oh."
No important figures could attract their attention; the aroma of the food captivated them.
Unexpectedly, Yang Guowei was quite a good cook; he actually had some skills. Li Laosan ended up taking in a cook right after adopting him.
If Yang Guowei finds a partner who is good at managing external affairs in the future, he will definitely be able to fulfill the role of a good cook.
The dishes were served, but Li Laosan and his family were nowhere to be seen.
Slowly, sounds came from afar; it was Li Laosan's family, with three people in their arms, walking towards them.
Leading the way was Jiang Zuoque, followed by the familiar Jiang Yi and Jiang Er. Li Laosan, like a lackey, kept trying to get closer to Jiang Zuoque, but never had the chance.
This doesn't seem like they're here to reunite with relatives; it's more like they're just putting on an act.
Don't you know that showing off will get you struck by lightning?
[Jiang Zuoque, this guy, has the nerve to put on airs.]
Look at that nose, it's practically pointing to the sky!
Li Yi felt an urge to use it, but she restrained herself. Good things should be saved for later; using them prematurely means missing out on the surprise.
Showing off
Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting said it was great; they learned new vocabulary and broadened their knowledge.
However, her daughter was right; Jiang Zuoque was indeed very pretentious.
As he approached, Jiang Zuoque's gaze was immediately drawn to Jiang Yuting, just as it had been many years ago when they parted ways.
Jiang Yuting hadn't changed much, unlike him. Thinking of this, Jiang Zuoque checked his clothes again.
Very well, he is not the same person he was back then.
His gaze remained fixed on Jiang Yuting, tinged with a hint of reminiscence and longing.
Time has taken away her youthful naiveté, but given her a mature charm. The man sitting next to her must be her husband.
Pain and resentment flashed across Jiang Zuoque's face; he felt an equal loathing for everyone standing next to Jiang Yuting.
Looking further down, a familiar little face came into view.
The teacher said,
The memories he had finally managed to forget began to attack him again, and Jiang Zuoque was momentarily dazed.
Upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that Li Yiyi's features are remarkably similar to Jiang Yuting's; her bright eyes sparkle with dazzling light, and her delicate brows convey a tender vulnerability that evokes pity.
A flash of inspiration struck Jiang Zuoque, and he almost lost his balance.
So, that day, he was tricked by Jiang Yuting's daughter. Realizing that Li Yi had seen through his foolish actions, Jiang Zuoqiu really wanted to run away.
But no, he had finally found Jiang Yuting.
