Liu Juan, watching this scene from the side, would have said a few words in her daughter's defense in the past.
This time, she was truly heartbroken. Indeed, if Li Yanhong had actually taken this gift to her brother-in-law's house today...
Who knows, his second aunt might think it was something she specifically instructed him to do. Then the whole village will know. They'll all be laughed at to death.
Ye Xiaoxiao stood at the kitchen doorway watching the commotion.
[Tongzi, tell me, what was Li Yanhong thinking? She really put her mind to it! Splitting everything in half, honestly, I've never seen anything like it in my entire life. Amazing! Hahaha!]
[Host, you've forgotten. In the original story, Li Yanhong did quite a few bizarre things later on. She basically did everything that was beneficial to her.]
Isn't that right? Li Yanhong even severed ties with her parents because her brothers kept getting married and she had to give gifts. A few years later, after they were all married, she started visiting relatives again. It's laughable just thinking about it.
"Get out! Get out!" Li Jianguo pointed at the gate, "You get out of here right now, and don't ever come back!"
"dad......"
"Don't call me Dad!" Li Jianguo roared, his voice thick with anger. "How could I have given birth to such an ungrateful wretch!"
When her father-in-law told her to get out, Li Yanhong didn't even argue: "Fine, I'll leave, but don't come looking for me about the third son's wedding during the New Year."
Upon hearing this, Liu Juan was furious: "Get out! Get out now! I thought you didn't understand before, but I think you're doing this on purpose. You don't even want to come for the New Year, do you? Then don't come again." Liu Juan knew exactly what she meant.
"Hmph, if you don't want to come, then don't come. I knew you only love your sister-in-law and your son, not me, your daughter!" Li Yanhong said, even extending her hand. "A greeting gift. You should at least give Da Shun ten yuan. This is our first time visiting."
Ye Xiaoxiao nearly dropped her rice bowl. [System, is this real?]
[Host, what did you say?] The system didn't understand Ye Xiaoxiao's meaning.
[I asked if Li Yanhong was an AI you planted. How could she say such things? Doesn't she have any shame? We've already argued like this, and she still has the nerve to ask for a gift.]
【Uh, host, I suspect you're insulting me, but I have no proof.】
Ye Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed the bowl and went back inside, otherwise she would have burst out laughing. 【Sorry, sorry, I wasn't talking about you.】
Liu Juan couldn't refuse in the end, so when she saw Chen Dashun and the others off at home, she still slipped Chen Dashun five yuan.
When Ye Xiaoxiao saw Li Yanhong looking at the five yuan and about to speak, Chen Dashun stopped her.
Otherwise, there would be a lot of people outside watching, and there would be big news.
After the two people left, Liu Juan returned to the house and began to explain to Ye Xiaoxiao:
"After all, it's not the Chen family's fault. We have such a wicked child in our own family, so we can't blame others."
"Mom, you don't need to explain to me, this is your daughter."
She's treating you and Dad like this now; who knows what will happen when it's our turn? We'll see then.
Anyway, I'm the kind of person who treats others politely no matter how they treat me. As long as it's fair, that's fine. I hope you won't be angry with me later.”
After Li Yanhong's incident, that was about it. Liu Juan blamed herself for not teaching her well, but there was nothing she could do. She had too many children in the family; raising them was difficult enough. She had no time to discipline them.
Since Ye Xiaoxiao was heavily pregnant, she would cook with her mother-in-law whenever she was in a good mood, and teach her how to cook.
It's not quite like it used to be; at least it still looks edible.
The children started school, and less than a month later, they were on summer vacation.
The children's report cards were brought back. Of the entire Li family, the seventh child, Li Chenkai, was the first to return.
As soon as he entered the door, he looked like a wilted eggplant, head down and drooping, the test paper in his hand held between his two fingers like a hot potato.
The exam was yesterday, and the test papers are being handed back today. He wouldn't dare hide them. His parents will have to see them anyway.
What are you standing there for? Let me see it!
Li Jianguo couldn't stand seeing his youngest son like this; it was obvious at a glance that he hadn't done well on the exam.
Ye Xiaoxiao was sitting in the yard, knitting a sweater for her son. In the original book, Ye Xiaoxiao's first child was a son, and she later had a son and a daughter. Seeing this scene made her happy. With that seventh son's attitude, it would be strange if he did well in his exams.
Li Jianguo took the test paper and immediately exploded:
"8 points in Chinese? 5 points in Math? Are you taking a test or just drawing circles?"
Seeing that the two sheets of paper were covered with X's and a lot of 0's, Li Jianguo immediately took off his shoe sole, grabbed Lao Qi, and started hitting him on the buttocks.
"I...I just can't learn it..."
The seventh son tried to run, but he wasn't as fast as his father. His arm was grabbed and he was pinned to his father's thigh, with loud "smack, smack, smack" sounds coming from his buttocks. The seventh son started crying after only a few slaps.
Li Jianguo was so angry his mustache stood on end: "All you do is cry! You never do your homework, but you're having a blast playing. Tell me, is this even a passing grade?"
"Oh dear, dad, don't be angry, please stop hitting him, you'll hurt him even more." Liu Juan quickly tried to smooth things over, "Children's learning takes time..."
Just then, the sixth student, Li Chenjun, returned, also holding a report card. Although he did slightly better than the seventh student, he barely passed Chinese, but scored 65 points in math.
"Not bad, at least there's one decent one." Li Jianguo said, glancing at Lao Liu's report card.
"Dad, I don't want to go to school next year!" The seventh son, after being hit, suddenly shouted, "I just can't learn it! You can beat me to death, but I still can't learn it!"
The sixth child had initially intended to tease his younger brother, but upon hearing this, he became displeased: "Why don't you go to school? Then I won't go either!"
Ye Xiaoxiao was so shocked by Lao Liu's words that she almost fell to the ground. Good grief, I thought you were going to say something else.
Enraged, Li Jianguo grabbed a broom and started hitting them, yelling, "So, you two ganged up on me? I'll beat you to death!"
Just as they were fighting, a series of cheerful footsteps came from outside the courtyard.
"Dad, Dad, look! I got second place in my class!"
Li Yanni skipped in, holding two report cards in her hands, and excitedly presented them to her father-in-law, who was on the verge of exploding in anger.
Li Jianguo took the report card and looked at it, his face immediately lighting up with a smile: "Great! 93 in Chinese, 96 in Math. Not bad at all!"
Liu Juan glanced at it from the side and pursed her lips: "What's the point of a girl getting such good grades? She's destined to get married anyway."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up immediately. Her mother-in-law was having another episode.
[Task: Criticize your mother-in-law for favoring sons over daughters; one yuan per sentence.]
【Good timing, System! Watch how I deal with her today! But you can't block me!】
That won't do, 10 yuan at most.
Ye Xiaoxiao put down her work, stood up, and started to argue:
"Oh, what are you saying, Mom? I don't like hearing that. How is it useless for a girl to get good grades? Aren't you a girl too? How can you be like this? What's wrong with a girl getting good grades?"
