Li Yan is also a mother, so how could she not know what her family members are thinking?
She sighed softly, with an expression that seemed to be hiding something. Her mother was so anxious that she kept hitting the panel with a rolling pin.
"You stupid girl, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you trying to be so rude to your own family? Come on, tell me. You're going to make me die of anxiety."
Old Mrs. Li is famous for her quick temper and she says things without thinking. Li Yan is just like her mother, warm-hearted but without brains.
She told Bai Hongmei about how she had helped her in the past few months. Before she could complain about Bai Hongmei being ungrateful, she was hit on the head by Old Lady Li with a rolling pin.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you meddling in other people's business? Don't you know what the Wei family is?"
Old Mrs. Li scolded her daughter with gnashing teeth: "She is a widow, but she has her husband's family, her own family, and the army leaders to take care of her. Isn't her life more carefree than that of ordinary people like us?"
"You don't care. Why doesn't she go back to her parents' home but go to your family compound?"
At this time, Li Yan's mind was still a mess. She asked her mother in a daze: "The woman her father-in-law married later was the head of the family and could not tolerate her at all. There were brothers on her side of the family who could not tolerate her even more. She found out that she was pregnant with another child and didn't know whether she should have an abortion, so she went to the Corps to find the leader."
Old Mrs. Li was furious at her daughter's stupidity. Li Yan saw that her mother was even angrier and the confusion in her eyes became deeper.
The second sister-in-law of the Li family is smart and told her younger sister-in-law about the relationship inside.
"A widow is always surrounded by gossip. Her life must be very difficult as a woman with a child. She can't even count on her parents' or her husband's family. She is trying to find a future with the army leaders by using the child in her belly while Wei Yanda's body is still warm."
Li Yan looked at her second sister-in-law blankly: "Future? She sold her job and still asked the army leaders for a job? How can she go to work when she is pregnant?"
Old Madam Li growled in frustration, "You are so stupid. The future she wants is not a job, but forcing the army leaders to find a man to take over for her."
Li Yan suddenly realized!
It turned out that this was what Bai Hongmei was thinking. No wonder she clung to Shen Xiao like a leech all day long. Everyone in the family compound could see that she wanted to marry Shen Xiao. Li Yan used to think that she had fallen in love with Shen Xiao over time, but she didn't expect that it was a long-planned thing.
"This woman, how long has it been since her husband died, tut tut tut."
Li Yan thought she had discovered Bai Hongmei's secret and her face flushed with excitement.
Old Lady Li reminded her coldly: "That officer named Shen is quite powerful and didn't give in to her. If she can't find a man who is willing to raise her child, can she easily leave the family compound?"
Li's second sister-in-law also reminded: "Aunt, how can you be so confident in leaving your brother-in-law at home alone? It's dark here, a man and a woman alone, aren't you afraid that something might happen?"
When Li Yan heard this, she shuddered all over and looked at Li Ersao in disbelief.
"No, that's impossible. My old Hao is not that kind of person."
Old Mrs. Li rolled her eyes and sneered, "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. When you came back this time, did you find out that they were having some secret affair or quarrel?"
Otherwise, she wouldn't run back to her parents' home during the holidays. The New Year is just over two months away. Why would she run back instead of staying at home to prepare?
Li Yan shrank her neck and murmured guiltily, "My old Hao really has no evil intentions. He is a wax-headed gun, and has long been useless."
When the women in the room heard this, they all showed embarrassed expressions on their faces. Can you say such things to your own mother or sister-in-law?
Old Mrs. Li was angry and pinched Li Yan: "Shut your mouth, say whatever you want."
Li Yan stiffened her neck and defended herself: "I am telling the truth. Besides, you are all my family members. There is nothing I cannot say."
"To tell you the truth, I came back this time because I was afraid that Bai Hongmei was about to give birth. These days, her children Wei Fang and Wei Hong kept coming to my house, saying that their grandmother was reluctant to burn firewood and stayed in the house to freeze her ears."
"Wei Hong is young, and she always scratches her butt when she's at my house. I asked her about it, and she said her butt was always itchy and uncomfortable. I knew that this was because her stomach was cold."
"That girl told me that her whole family is like this. Her mother also scratches her butt all day long, and she also said that the little brother in her mother's belly is gone."
Li Yan gave birth to several children herself, and the conditions were not good back then. But no matter how bad the conditions were, she kept herself warm in the winter and drank hot water every day to warm herself up.
Bai Hongmei lived next door, and before her lies were exposed, everyone was willing to help her. She eats well, uses things well, and takes good care of her body.
Ever since Bai's mother came, life next door has been miserable.
Li Yan suspected that the baby in Bai Hongmei's belly was dead. She remembered that when she was in the health center, the doctor in the ward said that her pregnancy was not easy.
During the time she was bedridden to nurture her baby, not only did she not get enough nutrition, she couldn't even keep warm.
Living in the same courtyard, Wei Yanda is also a relative of her husband, Lao Hao. If Bai Hongmei cannot keep the child, she will be held responsible.
After much deliberation, Li Yan took her children and hid back in her mother's home.
Mrs. Li squinted her eyes and listened, then nodded with satisfaction: "You still have some brains and knew to run back home."
Li Yan looked at her mother with a guilty conscience: "My right eyelid has been twitching a lot lately. People say that twitching of the left eye brings good luck while twitching of the right eye brings disaster. Mom, I want to bring Hongmei and her to live here for a few days."
Without waiting for Mrs. Li to express her opinion, the second sister-in-law of the Li family laughed first: "This is your mother's home, your eternal home. Our mom and dad are in good health, you can come back whenever you want. When your parents are gone in the future, your second brother and I will still treat you as a guest. You can stay as long as you want."
Li Yan's eyes curved, and she happily hugged Old Lady Li's arm: "Mom, my second sister-in-law has agreed, so I will stay until the New Year."
Chinese New Year?
Wouldn't that mean I have to stay for more than two months?
Old Mrs. Li's temples were throbbing, and she thought to herself, your sister-in-law is being polite to you, but you are really rude.
My brother, sister-in-law, younger brothers, sisters-in-law, and a large group of nephews and nieces live together. As an aunt, you have nothing to do but go back to your parents' home with two children and live and eat for free for two months.
Why is my heart so big...
After all, she was her own daughter, so Mrs. Li couldn't teach her a lesson in person. Several sisters-in-law of the Li family had subtle expressions and stared at Li Ersao unhappily, blaming her for being too showy.
Mrs. Li felt very wronged, so she just tried to be polite, but she never expected her sister-in-law to take it seriously.
However, she didn't believe that Li Yan would really have the nerve to stay at her parents' home for a few months. In a few days, her brother-in-law would come to pick her up.
The facts were just as Li Ersao had expected.
A few days later, Lao Hao came and brought shocking news.
