Li Yanhong only then realized how embarrassing it was. She turned around and went to the back kitchen.
Li Jianguo didn't know what else to say, so he quickly changed the subject and invited everyone to go to that room for some tea.
Dinner will be served soon. Let's eat.
He didn't want to get involved in this anymore. He'd already relayed the message to Wang Ailing, so there was no need to worry about what everyone would say next.
It's beyond our control, beyond our control.
Upon hearing Ye Xiaoxiao's words, Wang Ailing immediately chased after Li Yanhong. This woman was talkative, regardless of whether you liked it or not.
"Yan Hong, Yan Hong, this is not right of you. You came to see your eldest brother's first son, but you brought too little. Your Chen family is not poor. What is the reason for this? Is it because your in-laws look down on you and are bullying you?"
Wang Ailing was like a loudspeaker, her shouts could be heard by everyone in the courtyard.
Upon hearing this, Chen Dashun was outraged. "You can say whatever you want about Li Yanhong. It was her own choice. The Chen family has given her everything she was entitled to." He immediately went after her to explain.
"Auntie, my mom prepared some cloth scraps, red eggs, two big handfuls of noodles, and a bag of brown sugar for you."
I never expected that she wouldn't bring it when I arrived.
Chen Dashun ignored the murderous look in Li Yanhong's eyes. He had told her to bring her along when they were at home, and she had agreed readily. But this was how she acted as soon as they came out.
This is the second time he's embarrassed himself. He'll definitely tell his mom about it when he gets back.
He couldn't control how Li Yanhong treated her own relatives, but if she treated her relatives on the other side of the family the same way, he wouldn't want to live anymore.
Second Aunt knew, of course, that Ye Xiaoxiao was doing it on purpose. Hearing Wang Ailing's loud voice outside, the two exchanged a knowing glance. The meaning was clear.
Li Chenyang glared at Ye Xiaoxiao and went out.
"Hey, Xiaoxiao, don't be angry. Like you said, no matter how she treats us, we'll treat her the same way."
My second aunt and her husband are in the same boat, except their children are still young. Only Li Yaqin is engaged, and the wedding is set for November. There's still over a month to go.
Seeing Li Yanhong like this, her second aunt thought, "If even their own brothers are like this, who knows what they'll be like when it's their turn."
Li Yanhong was completely ashamed after Wang Ailing pressed her for answers and Chen Dashun gave her explanation. She didn't say anything and just dragged Chen Dashun home without eating.
However, neither of them looked happy when they left, so it's likely they'll have a big fight when they get back.
After everyone left, Li Chenyang brought food to Ye Xiaoxiao with a dark expression.
It's basically a big bowl of chicken noodle soup with an egg and several pieces of chicken in it.
"Why do you keep picking on so many things every day?" Li Chenyang, holding the child, urged Ye Xiaoxiao to eat quickly.
"Oh, it's my fault again. Let me ask you this: if she were in her postpartum period today, and we were going to visit her, and instead of just bringing two small handfuls of noodles, we brought two big handfuls, would you go?"
"No way, we're the older brother and sister-in-law. If we go there, we'll be severing ties with them."
Li Chenyang thought that if his sister really had a baby, as her uncle, he should at least buy her more things. He'd ask for more than just eggs; he'd even want to bring a chicken. If he had money, he'd even consider giving her some.
"If she were truly poor, I could understand. But you heard what your brother-in-law said earlier."
Every time, the Chen family would prepare everything, but she would keep it for herself.
How can I explain this? Tell me what she means.
She doesn't look down on me. Who am I? I'm just an outsider. Your son is still her nephew, isn't he?
You're still her older brother, aren't you? Who does she look down on?
Ye Xiaoxiao was analyzing the situation with Li Chenyang while eating. Their conversation was overheard by Lao San, who was passing by outside.
The third brother, standing outside the window, blurted out:
"They took my new suit and never gave it back to me."
Not a single word. Anyway, if she ever dares to treat us like that again, I'm cutting all ties with her. I've never seen a sister like this before.
Li Chenyang's expression turned even uglier.
[Task progress +1, now at 6%. Congratulations, host. You are rewarded with 20 yuan.]
[Tch, System, your rewards are way too meager. It's always so little. I saw the original owner spent 5000 to build a house. I have less than 300 in total right now. When am I ever going to be able to buy a house?]
Seeing Li Chenyang's dark face and the progress bar increasing by 1, Ye Xiaoxiao guessed he had come to his senses, so she stopped talking to him. After finishing her meal, she let him clean up and took the baby to breastfeed.
Li Chenyang had just entered the kitchen when he heard his mother say:
"Boss, don't take it too seriously. Just take whatever you feel is meaningful. After all, she's your own sister."
Liu Juan didn't know what to say; she couldn't very well sever her children's ties with her.
"Mom, I think Xiaoxiao is right. Yanhong is probably afraid that if she gives us too much, we'll have to pay back a lot later. I won't mind, I'll keep track of the expenses."
Li Chenyang thought about it and agreed. He should just return the favor as he was treated. Why think so much?
Liu Juan was speechless at her son's words. "You call that not taking things to heart?"
On the way home, Chen Dashun kept talking about Li Yanhong.
"What are you trying to achieve every day? Mom has packed everything for you, why do you keep doing this? This was even for your own brother and his family. By the way, did you return the new fabric that Mom asked you to return to your third brother?"
Chen Dashun rode his bicycle. He always felt that each person's own mother cared more, so he didn't really care what Li Yanhong wanted to bring to her family. When he arrived, he noticed that the red cloth bag looked quite small, and when he asked her about it, she said she had already taken everything.
