Chapter 107: Li Laizi seeks benefits from Xiao Ying
She didn't believe a word Li Laizi said. Anyone with eyes could see that Daya was clearly beaten.
But this has nothing to do with her. After all, she is not her daughter. Besides, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. How she lives depends on her husband's family.
"You mean my elder brother and his wife? They've been very busy lately, all trying to make money."
Zhou Lihua was in a bad mood. She was furious when she thought that others could go out to earn money while she had to stay at home to work.
He rolled his eyes and thought to himself that there might be something exciting to watch.
So he deliberately said, "You don't know yet, do you? Dad, big brother, and your third uncle have all gone to town to collect red slips, while mother and eldest sister-in-law are helping out at second sister-in-law's house."
"Your second aunt is very rich now. She started a spicy sesame oil business. I heard that she even sells it in the county town."
"Isn't it? Not only is the family building a courtyard, but they've also been building a workshop these days. Many people in the village have gone to help, and the wages are fifty cents a day."
"We've found seven or eight people just to cook. Your grandmother is one of them. Your eldest sister-in-law is even more capable. She works in the workshop. If you're looking for someone, you'll have to look there."
With every word she spoke, Li Laizi's eyes brightened a little more. It seemed that this second aunt was even richer than he had imagined.
He changed his mind. Although his father-in-law's family was in the red strip business, because the family had not been divided, the money was managed by two old men. It might not be so easy for him to get it, and it would be far less than what his second aunt had.
If I could get some money from my second aunt, I would be really rich.
A gleam of light flashed in Triangle Eyes. It was not enough to just make some money. Chen Daya had to work there so that there would be a steady flow of money in the future.
That Second Auntie charges outsiders fifty coins a day, but her own niece a hundred coins, right? Wouldn't that be nearly three taels of silver a month?
Just thinking about it made his breathing quicken. It was really a good decision to come to Chenjia Village this time.
Chen Daya didn't know what he was thinking, but she was very surprised to hear that her grandmother and mother were helping out at her second aunt's house and that the daily wages were so high.
She might not even earn fifty cents a month, but her grandmother and her mother could earn that much in a day.
While she was happy for her family, she was also a little sad, and she didn't want them to know about her situation.
"So that's how it is. Thank you so much, Auntie San. Daya and I will go find grandma and mother-in-law now."
Li Laizi couldn't wait any longer and pulled Chen Daya's arm and walked out.
Zhou Lihua smiled triumphantly, thought for a moment, dropped her housework, and went to watch the fun.
Soon, Li Laizi dragged Chen Daya to Xiao Ying's house at the end of the village.
Smoke rose from Xiao Ying's house, emitting wisps of tempting food aroma. Li Laizi also smelled the aroma of meat and couldn't help but take a few more breaths.
He had already decided to have lunch here and make sure to eat more meat.
"Grandma, mother-in-law, second aunt, I brought Daya to see you."
Li Laizi shouted again and knocked heavily on the gate several times.
How could he know that Xiao Ying and Liu Lan were not here, but at the workshop. Now there were only Chen Xinghe and a few people who helped to prepare lunch at home.
Hearing the sound, Chen Xinghe came out to check. When he saw the two people, he was stunned and did not recognize Chen Daya for a moment.
Because he was sold to the town as a servant two years ago, he heard about Chen Daya's story later, and the impression he had of his cousin was very different from the person in front of him.
I have never seen Li Lai Zi before.
"Xinghe, I didn't expect you to have grown so tall."
Chen Daya was also stunned when she saw him. The handsome young man in front of her had grown much taller than two years ago, and had become fairer and more handsome.
She remembered that Xinghe was sold to the town by her second aunt. It seemed that he had been redeemed. That was great.
"Are you the eldest cousin?"
Chen Xinghe came back to his senses. How did his eldest cousin become like this?
Seeing the redness and swelling on her face, his heart sank. Was she beaten?
Then he glanced coldly at Li Laizi next to him. Li Laizi was originally smiling, but this glance made his back chilled.
It's really weird. He's just a stinky boy whose hair hasn't even grown out yet, so why does he look so scary?
"It's me."
Chen Daya smiled, she was happy to see her relatives, but that smile was filled with worry.
"Come in and sit down, cousin." Chen Xinghe made way for Li Laizi without even greeting her. "Grandma is helping with the cooking, and my aunt and mother are at the workshop."
"Then I won't..."
Chen Daya wanted to refuse as soon as she opened her mouth. She didn't want to trouble her second aunt's family.
"Great, great. I didn't expect grandma's cooking skills to be so good. It smells so good."
Li Laizi interrupted her and squeezed in swiftly, his eyes full of excitement.
Chen Xinghe frowned. He had heard his elder brothers and sisters mention this man before, so he knew what he had done at that time.
After seeing him today, I found that he is even more annoying and shameless than I imagined.
However, he didn't say anything because of his eldest cousin's presence. He sneered in his heart. If this person wanted to take advantage of his family, he really came to the wrong place.
"Come in, cousin. I'll go get grandma."
Chen Xinghe let Chen Daya in and then closed the gate.
"I'm sorry to bother you."
Chen Daya felt embarrassed and became more and more worried.
After bringing the two of them to the main hall to sit down, Chen Xinghe went to call Chen Zhang.
When Chen Zhang heard that her eldest granddaughter was coming with her husband Li Laizi, her face immediately darkened. She greeted the others and went to the main hall.
I originally wanted to scold Chen Daya, but after seeing her appearance, all the words were stuck in my throat. I felt angry and distressed.
"grandmother."
Chen Daya quickly stood up and walked forward to greet him, her eyes a little moist.
"Grandma, I brought Daya to see you."
Li Laizi also stood up, but with a playful smile on his face, and kept looking towards the kitchen.
Chen Zhang touched Chen Daya's face distressedly: "What's wrong with you? If you are bullied, tell grandma and she will help you."
As he said this, he deliberately glanced at Li Laizi. Li Laizi glared at Chen Daya with a warning look on his face, telling her not to talk nonsense.
"Grandma, Daya is sick and she accidentally fell yesterday. She said she missed you, so I brought her back to see you today."
Chen Xinghe next to him rolled his eyes secretly and quickly walked out of the room while the three of them were not paying attention. He had to go find his mother and aunt.
"Is what he said true?" Chen Zhang asked Chen Daya, clearly not believing it.
Chen Daya nodded silently, while Chen Zhangshi looked disappointed and heartbroken.
"Sit down and talk."
She pulled Chen Daya to sit next to her, but Chen Daya was afraid that she would discover her injury, so she retracted her hand.
"Look at how thin you are. Why didn't you tell your family about the hard times you were having?"
"Grandma, I..."
Chen Daya bit her lower lip. It was bad enough that she couldn't support her parents' home, but how could she have the nerve to ask them for things?
Chen Zhang said unhappily, "Wait until your mother comes and see what she says to you."
