Chapter 245 Greasy and malicious
She was afraid that something might happen later, so she told her two sisters-in-law about the disputes first.
The eldest and second sisters-in-law are both tight-lipped and won't talk nonsense.
Just let them know what's going on, so that no one knows the truth.
After hearing what Zhang Hongyan said, Gao Ping and Li Xiuli fell silent.
They had never experienced this before and didn't know what to say.
At this moment, I only have one feeling, and that is heartache.
I feel sorry for that helpless girl back then!
Li Xiuli felt the atmosphere was too depressing, so she sighed and went back to the house to get a bottle of canned fruit.
Twist off the cap bottle.
A rich fruity aroma wafts into your nose.
The fragrance is sweet, fragrant and lingering.
When Zhang Hongyan smelled this scent, the hatred and pain that had just emerged were blown away by the wind, and all the negative emotions disappeared.
“Is this a can?”
Li Xiuli nodded and gave her the spoon.
"Yes! Canned fruit, bought by Tangtang." Li Xiuli said with a smile, "Try it, it's sweet, and everyone in the family loves it. This can is for the three of us to share."
Tangtang always says that he feels bitter, and that eating something sweet will make him feel better.
She tried...
Zhang Hongyan took the spoon, scooped up a small pineapple, and put it into her mouth with the juice inside.
Take a bite.
Healed instantly.
“This can is so delicious!”
The coldness between her brows gradually disappeared, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
The whole body's breath became lighter.
"City people really know how to eat. This can of food must be worth a few dollars. It tastes really good. I hope the sauce factory in our village can be as good as this."
He handed the spoon back and said, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you eat too."
"Okay, then I'll try it too." Gao Ping took the spoon and tasted an orange.
It tastes sour and sweet, with a strong fruity aroma that fills your whole mouth.
"Oh, Hongyan is right, it's really delicious!"
Gao Ping looked at Li Xiuli with envy in her eyes, "Xiuli's life is getting better and better."
In just half a year, so much has changed.
In the past, the second wife had to support Tangtang, and the tuition and living expenses were very stressful, so she lived the most miserable life among the third wife.
Now, not only do they have a radio, but they also have several workers. The vegetables they cook at home are also favored by people in the city. They have a stable income every day, and their lives are more comfortable than those of people in the city.
Li Xiuli smiled happily.
"You're still talking about my family. Weiguo became a battalion commander at such a young age. Isn't that better than anything else?
"Big brother is the team leader. When Aiguo gets a job at the sauce factory, the eldest wife's life will be even better."
When Gao Ping heard her mention her eldest son, a look of longing flashed across her eyes.
Pride showed on his face.
“Weiguo is out there defending his country, and that’s a good thing.
I was thinking about him getting married soon. Baoguo already has two children, but he still doesn't have a wife. Sigh!"
"I don't know if he received the pork jerky I sent him a few days ago. I heard it's snowy and icy over there all year round. I wonder if he's cold? Can he eat enough..."
A mother worries when her son is away from home.
Especially since Weiguo always put his head on his waist, she was even more worried.
Li Xiuli comforted him, "My boss and I listen to the news on the radio every day. I heard that things are much more stable over there. If we don't go to the battlefield, our safety is guaranteed."
In fact, it is Lin Lu who likes to listen to the news.
She prefers listening to revolutionary songs to news, and storytelling is also good.
Gao Ping felt slightly relieved when she heard this.
"Having a radio is much more convenient than reading a newspaper."
Being a soldier is definitely dangerous, but after being comforted by Li Xiuli, her anxious heart finally relaxed a little.
Li Xiuli smiled and said, "If sister-in-law wants to listen, come and listen to me."
After chatting for a while, Gao Ping and Zhang Hongyan helped pack some things and then went home.
The courtyard of the third branch of the Lin family is slightly closer to the village entrance.
Zhang Hongyan separated from Gao Ping and walked home alone.
It was dusk and the path was quiet.
Suddenly a figure jumped out from the bushes on the side of the road.
"ah……"
Zhang Hongyan was startled.
He took a step back quickly.
Before she could react, the familiar, slightly old male voice that disgusted her so much sounded.
"Sister Hongyan, what are you afraid of? We're from the same village after all. What can I do to you?"
The person who was speaking was dressed in rags and patches.
His hair was greasy and his face was darker than night.
Wrinkles seemed to be carved on his face.
His eyes were rolling around.
Looks greasy and malicious.
When Zhang Hongyan saw this man, deep hatred flashed across her eyes.
"Why are you looking for me again?" she said coldly. "I won't be threatened by you. If you want to report it to the police, do it now. If I, Zhang Hongyan, blink, I won't be able to see my parents and my sister before I die!"
When talking about her sister who was killed by the person in front of her, Zhang Hongyan's voice was cold and her eyes were strange.
Mao Laizi was startled.
Looking closely, the woman still looked honest and simple.
He just thought he had seen it wrong.
"Sister, don't be so excited. That's not a threat. I just want some money from you..." Mao Laizi said shamelessly.
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Hongyan.
"What? You want money from me?" She sneered, "How dare you! I don't have any money to give you."
She must be crazy to give money to her enemy!
Mao Laizi didn't take her rejection to heart at all.
Greed flashed in those cloudy eyes.
"No money? Impossible."
"I heard your daughter works in a chemical factory. How could she be broke? I don't believe it."
Zhang Hongyan didn't expect that he even knew this, and her face changed slightly.
Mao Laizi laughed, his face looking lewd.
"Or do you want me to go find your daughter?"
Zhang Hongyan glared at Mao Laizi fiercely and said, "How dare you!"
"If you dare to touch my daughter, believe it or not, you will not only not get a penny, but you may even die."
Although her tone was light, Mao Laizi did not dare to be careless at all.
This woman is so cruel.
Mao Laizi concealed the greed in his eyes and showed a simple smile.
"I'm just saying..."
Zhang Hongyan stared at him intently, which made Mao Laizi feel uneasy.
"That's better."
Mao Laizi didn't want to really anger her, so he said, "Don't worry, I won't go looking for your daughter."
After expressing his attitude, he rubbed his hands and started asking for money.
"That's... the money?"
A hint of cruelty flashed in Zhang Hongyan's eyes.
When he looked up again, his face was filled with displeasure as if someone had taken advantage of him.
"I understand. You go wait at the village entrance and I'll come over to you later," she said.
Mao Laizi was delighted and didn't notice the fleeting coldness on Zhang Hongyan's face.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you."
After saying that, Mao Laizi crossed his hands into his sleeves, lowered his head and walked away.
Zhang Hongyan loosened her fingers that were clenching her palms, and the smile on her lips was as cold as ice and snow.
Just then, a tall figure came from a distance.
Lin Shou saw that his wife had not returned for a long time, so he was worried that something had happened on the way and came to find her.
