Chapter 511: Like a leech sucking blood
Li Yun lowered his head and dared not speak. He had experienced Jingshu's cruelty before, and he did not dare to speak for fear that his place would be cancelled. He knew very well that this time he could enjoy the New Year entirely because of his mother. If his mother had not been related by blood, she probably would not have been able to come. Moreover, he had said long ago that this trick would not work.
Jingshu was still smiling, "You can shout as much as you want, but no one will come even if you scream your throat out." Grandma was busy preparing New Year's goods in the kitchen. The range hood was making so much noise, it would be a wonder if she could hear anything.
"Mother-in-law, I'm Dazhuang!" The second uncle shouted more than ten times, but there was no response. Instead, he called another group of people.
Click, click.
The smell of popcorn filled the air with a more fragrant smell of butter and a hint of chocolate. The baby's crying became louder, and finally, the security guard brought another group of people.
This group of people was moving even slower, because not only were they carrying large and small bags of things, but my uncle-in-law Wei Chang was also pushing a cart that was full of things.
Jingshu stood up quickly this time. Her aunt Jingpan was still carrying a shoulder pole in the crowd. She didn't know what she was carrying, so Jingshu took it over.
"Go away, go away. I'm sorry for your new clothes. It's okay. They are not heavy and they have arrived. It's no trouble." Jing Pan wiped the sweat off his face and said while breathing mist, refusing to let Jing Shu take it.
Jingshu didn't force it anymore, frowning and complaining, "You came all this way, Auntie. Did you all really walk here? When did you leave? I said I'd pick you up today, so why did you have to walk so far? If my grandma knew about this, she would be so heartbroken."
My uncle finally stopped pushing the cart, panting with exhaustion. He took a few gulps from his thermos bottle. Wei Zheng was also carrying a lot of things, while his wife Qiao Lian was carrying one-year-old Wei Shuen on her back. She was probably crying from hunger. Jing Shu stuffed all the popcorn on little Shuen, drawing envious looks from those around her.
Jingshu saw her second aunt in the crowd. She was dark and strong, also carrying a shoulder pole. She had changed a lot from being super fat to what she is now.
The two groups finally came together, and my second uncle's family became a little evasive.
"Second aunt, what's going on? Tell me, my second uncle said you invited his whole family to come to our house to celebrate the New Year, and they almost squeezed in. I was supposed to pick you up, but I haven't even left yet, so how come you are here?"
The second aunt threw the carrying pole to the ground with a bang, and the things inside were shaken out a little. The second aunt put her hands on her waist and was so angry that she couldn't do it. It was the eldest aunt Jingpan who came out to smooth things over and told her what had happened.
"Your uncle knows that gasoline is scarce and one liter of gasoline can't even be exchanged for several kilograms of grain. You must have lost hundreds of kilograms of grain in this round trip.
Food is already precious these days, let alone gasoline. So we agreed with your second aunt to walk here. What's the big deal about walking? We used to walk to school every day when we were kids. There's no need to waste gasoline.
Your second uncle, Li Yun, was supposed to join us the day before yesterday, but unexpectedly, their entire family showed up. They said they brought food to spend the New Year with your second uncle, and that they found a regular job in Wucheng... Anyway, I don't believe it. Look, this exposes us. You'd better be careful of his family. Food is so scarce right now, you can't give it away for free."
Jingshu nodded in understanding. So that's how it is. But to save some gas, they walked so far, it took at least two days... Well, in the apocalypse, to save food, there's nothing you can't do.
So it seems that my second uncle's family forced their way in.
Then I saw the second aunt and her husband quarreling, but it was the second aunt who started cursing, while the second uncle was submissive and begged the second aunt to have pity on his family, young and old. Since they had come here, it was impossible to let them go back. It would be freezing to death on such a long journey.
Second Aunt said, "Oh, please don't put the blame on me. Two years ago, I was almost starving to death, but your mother was reluctant to give me food. It was my eldest sister who gave me something to eat. Why do so many of you want to come now? Do you think I'm stupid? If it weren't for Li Yun, I would have broken up with you long ago!"
"We need to ask our in-laws to come out about this. Besides, your eldest sister and her family aren't here to eat and drink for free, so why can't we?"
Here, Wei Chang finally endured
No more downloading.
"Bah! I can't do such a shameless thing. Even if we go to someone else's house to celebrate the New Year, we will prepare food supplies." As he said this, my uncle Wei Chang showed the food on both ends of the carrying pole. It was some dark old rice.
There was also half a pig and various New Year's goods on the cart.
"We also brought rations." Li Yunnai said unwillingly.
Wei Chang sneered as he uncovered the other person's basket. "So many people want to come to someone else's house to feast, and they're trading this mixture of insects and expanded soil for pancakes?"
"We are relatives, very close relatives."
"It's not even remotely related."
Two security guards stood at the door and watched the show. It was rare to find someone who made random claims of relatives and acted so confidently like this.
Seeing the truth come to light, Jingshu was tired. She still had many cookies waiting for her to bake, so she waved her hand to stop the meaningless quarrel between the two parties.
"Okay, now that everything is clear, and you two have been gone for so long, you should settle down as soon as possible."
The second uncle smiled and said, "Yes, it's time to settle down. Then open the door quickly and let us eat something first."
Jingshu also smiled: "Yes, I have only prepared places for my eldest aunt's family and your second aunt's family of three. Since your second uncle's family has prepared rations and found a job, you can arrange for them to go. You... don't really want to live with my second aunt, do you? But it's good, grandma and grandpa also have this idea. Let's get a divorce before the New Year. It's convenient now."
The second uncle gritted his teeth in anger.
Li Yunnai burst into tears and howled, "Mother-in-law, look at your granddaughter. She dares to be your master! She is just a little girl who is your host, and she dares to be so bold."
The eldest aunt snorted, "You are really wrong. This house belongs to my niece. The food and drinks were also brought back by my niece. If you say it is true that my mother is staying at my niece's house, my niece is the head of the family now. It is useless for you to cry."
Li Yunnai was dumbfounded.
"You go in first, I'll arrange for them to go somewhere else." The second uncle reacted quickly and immediately persuaded the whole family to leave. He couldn't turn against Jing Zhao yet.
Jing Zhao looked at the whole family with disgust, and glanced at Li Yun. She had made a new decision in her heart. She always thought about taking care of the children's feelings before, but who thought about her feelings and frustration?
"Let's go too. Let's put our things in grandma and grandpa's house first. There's no room for anyone here in the villa."
Jingshu took people to the first floor of Building 25 opposite, which had already been cleaned.
