She knew very well that her children had gotten into trouble.
The three children picked half a bag of cucumbers from someone else's house. If they didn't explain it to them, they would be in trouble.
She really couldn't bear to scold her own child. After all, she married Li Gang wanting to live a good life. She didn't expect that the Li family's life was not that good.
The old lady shared a meal with the children every day, and if the children wanted to eat a few more bites, they had to depend on her mood.
In order to divorce Bai Jinfeng, Li Gang donated all his small treasury, so it was difficult for him to buy some food for the children now.
"Child?" Ning Jia laughed. "Just saying the child will solve the problem? Sister-in-law, just because the child caused trouble, we can just let it go?"
"Then...what should we do? Sister-in-law, you see, we have a good life in your family, and the vegetables you grow are so tempting. The children couldn't control themselves, so they picked the vegetables. Don't worry, just this once, I will never let them do such a thing again."
Wang Qiaoqiao was trying to make excuses for her child in every way she spoke, which made Ning Jia feel upset.
"Okay, I didn't mean to embarrass the children. Now that you've said that, if I did, it would be my fault."
Seeing that Ning Jia's words had taken a turn for the better, Wang Qiaoqiao immediately became happy: "Yes, yes, children are ignorant. Otherwise, how can they be called children!"
"Well, sister-in-law, I like what you said! Children are immature, but adults should be sensible, right?" Ning Jia pointed at the cucumbers on the ground, "I worked hard to grow these, and I don't intend to let it go. You should pay me! I don't want much, just 10 cents per kilogram of cucumbers."
"What?" Wang Qiaoqiao thought Ning Jia didn't want to pay the money, but in the end he still asked her to pay. "Sister-in-law, we don't have any money! You know the situation between me and your elder brother better than anyone else, right?"
"No money? I don't believe it. I just ate luncheon meat and canned hawthorns. How can you say I have no money?"
Wang Qiaoqiao: "It's not like all the money has been spent... I really have no money left!"
"Sister-in-law, you can't be so aggressive. When we divorced, Bai Jinfeng took away all the money, and she asked for it when you were present. Now, you want us to pay compensation, how can we afford it?" Li Gang echoed Wang Qiaoqiao's words.
In short, the meaning is, you need money, but I don’t have it!
"Since I'm not a good person in your words, I won't ask myself to be a good person. If you don't want to pay, you can come up with a satisfactory plan! It's up to you."
Ning Jia didn't intend to let them go just like that. If they could honestly admit their mistakes and let people see that they were sincere, then that would be fine.
But with this attitude, Ning Jia was determined not to let them go.
"Brother, I have to remind you. The vegetables grown in this greenhouse are not only mine, but also your brother and sister-in-law's. I am only good at talking, but if your sister-in-law is unhappy, what will happen? Don't blame me for not reminding you."
Li Gang had seen An Ye's fighting ability before.
That woman was really tough. When she fought with the men in Zhang Guihua's family, she was really fearless. She slapped them from head to toe and completely stunned them.
The men in Zhang Guihua's family were so arrogant and unreasonable, but they were subdued by An Ye.
Who dares to mess with such a tough woman?
Normally, he would feel a little uneasy and a little scared when he saw Ning Jia. Whenever he saw An Ye, he would lower his head, keep silent, and just walk around her.
After Ning Jia's reminder, Li Gang finally remembered that the greenhouse vegetables were jointly grown by Lao Li and Lao Liu.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Then pay for it."
"Okay." Ning Jia nodded, "Okay, let me get a scale and weigh it."
"You really want to pay me back?" Wang Qiaoqiao was unhappy. "If you want me to, I'll just scold the kid."
"What if you don't pay the money? You won't be able to get away with just a few words of scolding, unless you beat him up. Are you willing to do that?" Li Gang asked.
Wang Qiaoqiao shook her head: "I can't bear to let them go. Their father died early, and the children have suffered a lot with me for many years."
"So, you have to pay!"
Wang Qiaoqiao had no choice but to reluctantly agree to take the money and settle the matter.
Ning Jia brought a scale and weighed the small bag of cucumbers: "10 catties and 3 ounces. Calculated based on 10 catties, you can give me one catty."
"It's too expensive, sister-in-law, can you give me a lower price?" Li Gang was ready to bargain.
"No!" Ning Jia refused. "My cucumbers can still grow bigger. I can sell them at the farmer's market later. People will buy them at 30 cents per pound! Now they are in your hands. I sell them to you at 10 cents per pound, and you still want to bargain!"
Li Gang shook his head helplessly and had to pay a dime obediently.
"Okay, I've taken the money. You can take and eat the cucumbers." Ning Jia took the money and left. As for what to do with the cucumbers, that was their business.
Looking at the ten pounds of cucumbers, the three children were happy, but Li Gang looked worried.
It happened that everyone had just finished work and had returned. When they passed by the yard, they saw the bag of cucumbers and came over one by one.
"Hey, freshly picked ones! I'll take two!"
"I'll take two, too."
"Me, me, me! Big brother, let me have a few too. Oh, and give two to mom and Xiaotao as well."
A few brothers came in and didn't even ask who the cucumbers belonged to. They just took them and left.
Wang Qiaoqiao was very anxious: "Hey, how can this be? Your brother and I paid for this!"
Li Heng waved his hands: "I don't believe it. These are obviously planted by Sixth Brother's wife, why did you buy them? Just pick them and let everyone eat them together."
Li Chuan followed up by saying, "Yes, even if you bought the cucumbers, you won't settle the bill with us if I didn't eat two cucumbers, right?"
Li Gang really has a lot of grievances!
Lin Xiaoxi happened to see this incident as soon as she entered the door. Seeing the sad expressions of the old couple, she felt happy in her heart.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I just happen to have something to discuss with you." Lin Xiaoxi was ready to use the same old trick again.
Wang Qiaoqiao saw Lin Xiaoxi taking the initiative to talk to her, and hurriedly followed her: "Sister-in-law, what do you want to say?"
Lin Xiaoxi said: "Brother and sister-in-law, my fourth sister-in-law and I have discussed and are ready to move home. We were planning to tell the old lady today! I just happened to meet you, so I want to tell you too."
Li Gang was stunned: "Yu's family? Why do you want Yu's family too?"
Lin Xiaoxi asked: "Is there any problem? Isn't it good to have a family? Look at how good the life of Sixth Sister-in-law is! I think it's better to have a family, and each of us can do our own work, so that no one can be lazy and just stare at other people's jobs."
Wang Qiaoqiao agreed immediately: "Okay, I agree with the Yu family."
After entering the Li family for a few days, she also understood the situation. If we eat together, we will eventually starve to death.
If you want to live a good life, you have to have a good family.
"Sister-in-law knows it clearly. But sister-in-law, it's not a bad thing to have a new family. I have something good to discuss with you. If you agree, we can do it together after we have a new family." Lin Xiaoxi said.
