Chapter 130 Greed Triumphs Over Reason
Li Fengzhi's mouth was like a machine gun, with a stream of words coming out, alarming Li Caiyun and Tang Yulian who were in the west room.
"What's going on?"
Li Caiyun came out to look at the expressions on everyone's faces and asked cautiously.
Zhou Yong looked at his wife and said, "Go back to the house!"
Li Caiyun didn't move with her big belly. Tang Yulian took a bite of the apple and said, "Mom, what's going on?"
Li Fengzhi was filled with anger: "Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating, come home with me."
Tang Yulian was scolded for no reason. She pouted and lowered her head as she came to Li Fengzhi.
Zhang Guifang was so angry that she pointed at her elder sister-in-law and said, "Li Fengzhi, how dare you bring up what happened in the past? Why can't I give birth to my child? Isn't it because I worked like a slave for your Li family and hurt my body?
Can you put in a good word for me? Forget it, you thought I knew nothing, and it was you who instigated my parents to send me back to my parents' home..."
As Zhang Guifang spoke, an unnatural look flashed across Li Fengzhi's face.
"Stop plotting against me here."
Zhang Guifang sneered: "I am plotting against you? If so, then swear to heaven, do you dare?"
Li Fengzhi didn't dare to do so, because it was she who was the one who caused Zhang Guifang to be almost driven back to her parents' home by her own parents-in-law.
She thought she had done this matter perfectly, but she didn't know that Zhang Guifang already knew the inside story.
Although so many years have passed, Zhang Guifang has never mentioned this matter. Every time Li Fengzhi asked them for help, she always agreed without hesitation, mainly because Li Baotian was good to her.
However, her tolerance did not win Li Fengzhi's gratitude, but was instead taken for granted, which made Zhang Guifang unbearable.
"Third brother, look at your wife's attitude towards me."
Li Baotian frowned slightly: "Sister, you too, why are you bringing up what happened back then?"
Seeing that her brothers did not help her, Li Fengzhi stamped her feet and started crying.
Li Caiyun came to her mother's side: "Mom, don't be angry, let's go back to the house."
Zhang Guifang gritted her teeth and said, "Li Fengzhi, since we have come to this point, you should hurry up and pay back the money you owe to my family. From now on, our two families will not have any more contact..."
Li Fengzhi's crying stopped abruptly, and Li Baotian frowned: "Caiyun, help your mother into the house."
Zhang Guifang refused to move, so Zhou Yong looked at the situation and coaxed his mother-in-law back into the house.
Zhang Guifang started crying as soon as she entered the house, and Li Caiyun was wiping her mother's tears.
Zhang Guifang dug up all the trivial matters, and Zhou Yong was left in a state of confusion.
Zhou Yong comforted his mother-in-law, and then he left the east room.
Li Baotian, Li Fengzhi and Tang Yulian were not in the outer room, but in the west room!
Zhou Yong entered the west room, glanced at Tang Yulian who was eating an apple, and his eyes fell on Li Fengzhi.
Li Baotian sighed: "Sister, whenever you opened your mouth over the years, has Guifang ever said no? The reason why she got upset this time is mainly because our family has no money..."
If the family had money, Zhang Guifang would not do this, Li Baotian knew it well.
Li Fengzhi wiped her tears and said, "I know she has no bad intentions. She just kept talking to herself. Besides, if her words were not so harsh, would I have been so harsh to her?"
Li Baotian looked at his elder sister and pursed his lips, feeling depressed and not knowing what to say.
With things like this, Zhang Guifang would definitely not give money to Li Fengzhi. Li Baotian looked at Zhou Yong.
He is a smart man. When Li Baotian looked at him, Zhou Yong understood his father-in-law's intention.
However, Zhou Yong had no intention of lending money to Li Fengzhi. The reason came from what Li Fengzhi said.
It is obvious that Li Fengzhi is an ungrateful person. If she had any conscience, she would not say such words.
It's as if someone owes her something. Is there any need for such a person to help her?
Zhou Yong shifted his gaze to the side, took a closer look, and couldn't help frowning.
After Tang Yulian finished eating an apple, she actually took another apple and started eating it.
Disgust welled up in Zhou Yong's eyes. Tang Yulian was not a child. She was already seventeen years old. She took it without asking. Wasn't she treating herself as an outsider?
But he didn't say anything. After all, they were relatives, and Zhou Yong wouldn't embarrass Tang Yulian over an apple.
Zhou Yong changed his shoes and left the west room. After he left, Tang Yulian ate an apple in a few bites, rummaged through the small basket of snacks, took out a bag of fruit and started eating.
Li Baotian saw his niece's behavior, but what could he say as an uncle?
"Sister, please sit in the west room for a while. I'll go to the east room to take a look."
Li Fengzhi responded, and Li Baotian left the west room with a sad face.
"Mom, try this oven-baked fruit. It's delicious."
Li Fengzhi glared at Tang Yulian and took a piece of the fruit: "You girl only know how to eat."
Tang Yulian smiled and pointed: "Mom, I'm telling you, I've seen it all, this cabinet is filled with delicious food..."
Li Fengzhi swallowed the furnace fruit in her mouth and asked in surprise: "Is it true?"
In order to prove her words, Tang Yulian opened the cabinet. Li Fengzhi came forward to take a look and was immediately not interested.
"And you said you have no money. How can you buy so much food without money?"
Li Fengzhi complained while rummaging through the cabinets to see what delicious food was inside. As she was rummaging, she saw a wooden box.
With some curiosity, Li Fengzhi took out the rectangular wooden box, opened the lid and took a look. She was immediately stunned.
"Oh my god, that's a lot of money."
When Li Fengzhi heard this, she was so scared that she quickly pushed the lid back and asked, "Why are you shouting?"
As she was about to put the money box back, Tang Yulian said to herself, "How nice it would be if this money belonged to our family?"
Li Fengzhi paused, and looked at the money box with a bit of greed.
After Tang Yulian finished speaking, she returned to the edge of the kang and sat down to continue eating. Li Fengzhi was experiencing a fierce struggle in her heart at this moment, as if she was fighting against the power between heaven and earth.
Finally, greed overcame reason, and she opened the cash box and put the money and purchase receipts into her pocket.
After closing the box lid, Li Fengzhi pulled Tang Yulian, who was eating, and said, "Let's go home."
Tang Yulian picked up an apple and put it in her pocket. After thinking for a while, she grabbed a handful of fruits.
Li Fengzhi shook her head helplessly and dragged Tang Yulian away without even saying hello.
Li Baotian was coaxing Zhang Guifang in the east room. Li Caiyun looked at her aunt and cousin from behind and said, "Dad, my aunt is gone."
"Gone?"
Li Baotian hurriedly stood up, but Zhang Guifang grabbed him.
"You are not allowed to go."
Li Baotian sighed: "Don't be like this, she is my eldest sister after all."
Zhang Guifang narrowed her eyes and said, "Li Baotian, you are such a heartless person. It is true that she is your elder sister, but who am I to you?"
Li Baotian smiled helplessly: "You, you are already old, why are you so unreasonable?"
Zhang Guifang didn't like what she heard and scolded Li Baotian.
Li Baotian didn't say anything when he was scolded. After all, the fault was Li Fengzhi's, and it was only natural for Zhang Guifang to vent her emotions.
Zhang Guifang's anger subsided a little. She looked at the time and muttered to herself as she went to make breakfast. Li Baotian walked away leisurely.
Li Caiyun added some firewood to the stove, then she got up, washed her face, and went back to the west room to apply some cold cream.
