Chapter 166 Who gave you the courage

Li Guifen looked embarrassed: "Let's not talk about the girl's temper. We have nothing now. What can we use to propose marriage? Mom heard that girls in the city like to ask for big money..."

After a pause, he continued, "Do you think everyone is like your sister-in-law, who got married without asking for a single cent of betrothal gift? That's because your brother is an intellectual and has the ability..."

Zhang Xiaobao interrupted her angrily: "Are you saying that I am not as good as my brother?"

Li Guifen hurriedly coaxed, "Mom, that's not what I meant! I meant, your sister-in-law is our ready-made daughter-in-law, you don't need her, why do you have to find another one?"

Zhang Xiaobao: "I don't care, I just like that girl! If you don't help me, I'll die!"

As he spoke, he started to roll around.

Li Guifen felt a headache as she looked at her son, who was in his twenties and was rolling on the ground like a child.

But she didn't think there was anything wrong with this behavior, and just coaxed him with great concern:

"Okay, okay, okay. Mom promised you. Stop it now. Be careful of getting a heat stroke!"

Zhang Xiaobao got up from the ground with satisfaction.

"Mom, don't belittle yourself. We are now people who own a house in the city! As for the gift, it's also simple. Look at my sister-in-law. She stays upstairs every day and never goes out. She must have stockpiled a lot of supplies."

He raised his head and said, "She is the daughter-in-law of our Zhang family. Everything in the Zhang family belongs to me! If you take all her things, won't you have the betrothal gift?"

Li Guifen still looked embarrassed: "How can you get supplies just by asking for them?"

If it's really that good, why does she have to go to the corridor and roll around every day?

After hearing what she said, Zhang Xiaobao pretended to lie down on the ground again.

Li Guifen said quickly: "Okay, okay! Mom will find a way for you. Mom will find a way for you no matter what you want!"

Zhang Xiaobao then smiled contentedly: "Okay, get me something to eat! I'm hungry."

Li Guifen pointed to the box on the tea table and said, "The biscuits are there."

Zhang Xiaobao became unhappy again: "Biscuits, biscuits, biscuits every day! How can this stuff be nutritious? I want to eat something else!"

Li Guifen glanced at his obese body and frowned: "My son seems to have lost a lot of weight recently. I'm really sorry..."

She walked to the corner where the luggage was piled, took out a big bag like a thief, and took out a handful of dried meat from it. After thinking for a while, she put some back and left a small handful, which she held over like a treasure.

"Xiaobao, eat sparingly."

Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand and grabbed all of them. He didn't even ask to leave some for his mother and stuffed them directly into his own mouth.

While eating, he said dissatisfiedly: "Hurry up and get all the supplies from my sister-in-law."

Li Guifen nodded while tearing open the biscuit bag, took out a piece of biscuit, chewed it for thirty or forty times in her mouth before she was willing to swallow it.

Zhang Xiaobao was eating some dried meat and held out his hand: "Give me some biscuits. I'm tired of eating only meat."

Li Guifen quickly handed the remaining biscuits in her hand to him.

Zhang Xiaobao ate voraciously and was full in a short while. Then he frowned and asked, "Why are you still here?"

Li Guifen was stunned: "Ah?"

Zhang Xiaobao said impatiently: "Why don't you go find Chu Peipei?!"

"Oh." Li Guifen glanced at the empty packaging bag, rubbed her stomach, said nothing more, and walked out.

She had sustained many hidden injuries when she had rolled down the stairs before, and now all her bones were aching, and it took her a lot of effort to climb upstairs.

He sat on the 14th floor for a long time before he stood up and knocked on the door.

"Daughter-in-law, open the door!"

"I'm here, your mother, come out!"

Chu Peipei was feeding chickens in the room. When she heard her shouting, she originally didn't want to pay attention to it, but she was afraid of disturbing Annan across the street, so after thinking it over, she decided to come out.

She looked at Li Guifen and asked helplessly, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Li Guifen touched her emaciated stomach and said, "We have been hungry for days! Please let me in and I will get some food."

Chu Peipei stopped her and said, "I have already given you two boxes of biscuits. It is enough for you to eat for two months."

Li Guifen: "Xiaobao is growing now, so he must eat more!"

"Mom, the world is different now. Who can still eat as much as they want? They just break a piece of biscuit into two pieces."

Li Guifen glared at him: "You can eat like that, but Xiaobao can't! He is the only child left in our Zhang family, and he is very precious! How can he be the same as you?"

After hearing this, Chu Peipei began to sound impatient:

"What's so precious about it? I'm the only child in my family. There are so many other children in this building. Aren't they almost all dead now?"

Li Guifen glared: "Where are your parents? Is this how you talk to your mother-in-law?"

Then he began to cry again:

"Oh my! Whose daughter-in-law can climb over her mother-in-law like this?"

"What a misfortune our family has suffered! The old man is dead, the eldest son is gone, and my daughter-in-law failed to save my grandson, and she doesn't even give us, an orphan and a widow, food to eat!"

He howled for a long time until his voice became hoarse, but Chu Peipei remained unmoved.

Li Guifen stopped talking and gritted her teeth: "How can you be so cruel? If my family knew about this, they would never forgive you!"

Chu Peipei didn't buy it, "Mom, don't worry, Jiadong won't blame me."

Li Guifen's eyes widened: "What did you say?"

Chu Peipei said, "I have given you everything I need, including housing, food, and water. If you need anything else, let Zhang Xiaobao find it.

You have not treated me well over the years, so even legally, I have no obligation to support you and your child - not to mention there are no laws now.

I have done my best. If you disturb the people again and get killed by others, don't regret it."

Having said that, he wanted to turn around and go home.

Li Guifen hurriedly went to pull her, and in her excitement she tore the wound, causing it to hurt again.

"You can't just ignore me! Your friend's crazy dog ​​bit me, you have to give me a rabies shot!"

Chu Peipei said expressionlessly: "No."

Li Guifen insisted: "How is that possible? I know you are a doctor, you must have plenty of medicine."

Chu Peipei was speechless: "I'm just a doctor, not a hospital owner, how can I have any medicine?"

Li Guifen: "How come the doctor has no medicine? The doctor in our village has a cabinet full of medicine. You are just a bad person!"

Chu Peipei was too lazy to pay attention to her and turned to leave, but Li Guifen grabbed her tightly:

"You don't have to care about me, but you have to care about Xiaobao's marriage! He has fallen in love with your neighbor across the street, you go and help us find a marriage partner!"

"What did you say?!" Chu Peipei raised her voice.

She turned around, her expression was colder than ever before: "Who gave you the courage to go after Nan Nan?"
