There were still some cakes and steamed buns at home, all made of fine grains, so Li Qingyun was reluctant to give them to those ungrateful people.
She chopped a potato and some beans, took out a small bowl of rye and mixed it with a little cornmeal, and made a pot of black dough dumplings.
Although they were black noodles, there was oil from braised pork in the pot, so she added water directly without washing the pot.
So the taste is not bad, with a meaty flavor.
The three of them ate voraciously, as if they hadn't eaten for several days. Although it was not a big meal, it was still a full meal.
Li Debao was not full and asked her if she had any. She was so soft-hearted that she even contributed a few steamed buns left at home, which she considered to be doing her best.
After finishing their meal, they licked their lips with satisfaction.
"Mom and Dad, what brings you here this time?" Gu Tingzhou asked at the right time.
Li Qingyun was also a little curious, but she seriously suspected that they were taking the opportunity to eat for free.
Father Li and Li Debao shrank their heads like quails and kept silent, putting pressure on Mother Li.
She organized her words and, facing her son-in-law's sullen face, slowly said, "I heard that my son-in-law was injured and came back to recuperate. Plus, Pan Di's being here has caused you a lot of trouble, so I took advantage of the holiday to come and see you."
Li Qingyun rolled her eyes. Who would believe her lies? Gu Tingzhou came back and Qinghuan came home more than a month ago. She only came to see them now. Haha.
No one bothered to pay attention to her.
Mother Li rolled her eyes and looked Qinghuan up and down.
"Pandi, I see that you can walk slowly on your own and do some light work. It won't delay anything. Why don't you come back with me?
You see, you've been here for so long, and you've caused a lot of trouble to your sister and brother-in-law. Your sister has to take care of two kids and two patients, which is really hard.
Although life is tough at home, I won't let you go hungry even if I don't eat myself." Li's mother acted like she was doing this for her own good, almost squeezing out a few drops of cat urine.
Mother Li had just observed that although her second daughter was on crutches, it did not affect her work. If she took her back, she could help with the housework and she would have some relief. Besides, her eldest sister was so kind to her, she would definitely not let her go back empty-handed.
I have to say that Mother Li is quite smart. She knows that her eldest daughter will not release the person on her own initiative, so she starts directly from Qinghuan. Mother Li knows Qinghuan's temper very well, and she hits her vital point with one blow.
Although Qinghuan wanted to follow her sister, she was more afraid of dragging her sister down. She had been under a lot of pressure recently. She had no choice before, but now that Mother Li took the initiative to ask her to go home and spoke so kindly, she was shaken.
Gu Tingzhou looked at Li's father and mother with some inquiry in his eyes.
Qinghuan looked at her sister in embarrassment.
The two sisters have been together day and night for this period of time. How could Li Qingyun not understand what she meant? She was just afraid of becoming a burden to herself, so even though she knew that Li's mother had bad intentions and that her life would be sad if she went back, she still wanted to go back.
After thinking about it, she pulled Qinghuan into the house to talk alone.
"Qinghuan, you don't have to be like this. Big sister never thinks you are a burden. You know what kind of people are in that family. If you go back, you will be faced with endless work, hunger and cold. Are you sure you want to go back?" Li Qingyun advised anxiously.
Qinghuan collapsed, covering her face and sobbing miserably.
"Sister, what can I do? I'm just a pile of mud now, please leave me alone.
A divorced girl always lives in her elder sister's house. Not only will outsiders gossip about her, but her parents-in-law will also be unhappy after a long time.
I also want to be with you forever, big sister. The days here are the happiest and most comfortable days of my life. I eat well, wear warm clothes, have endless work to do, and no inhuman beatings or scolding.
But you can’t dream forever, you have to wake up eventually. Sometimes I feel confused and don’t know where the future lies.
"In short, you've helped me enough. I have to walk my own path and can't burden you any more." Qing Huan said as tears streamed down her cheeks.
Li Qingyun didn't expect that she had to bear so much pressure alone, and she felt very sad for a moment.
She could do a lot for her, but she couldn't replace her and bear the torment in her heart.
Qinghuan is already an adult and has the right to choose his own life. He should also be responsible for his choices.
As an older sister, I can only help, remind, and give suggestions, but I can't help her make decisions.
Well, let her be. After all, she will always be there to protect her.
"Qinghuan, if you have made up your mind, I won't stop you. But please cherish yourself and take care of yourself no matter when and where you are. Always remember, I hope you are safe and happy." Li Qingyun gently hugged her sister's weak shoulders.
"Sister, I understand. Thank you." Qinghuan hugged her sister back tightly.
Although she agreed to let Qinghuan go back, Qingyun was still worried. Qinghuan's legs were not suitable for walking for a long time, so she specially asked Lao Gu to drive an ox cart to take them there, and gave him fifty cents for the fare.
He rummaged through the drawers and cabinets at home and packed a big bag of clothes, shoes and socks for Qinghuan. These were all things that the original owner had never worn before, and they were just perfect for Qinghuan.
They were also given a sack of food, but it was all coarse grains, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, black flour, buckwheat flour, corn flour, etc.
She also knew that if she took these things back, most of them would definitely be given to the three of them, but there was nothing she could do. If she didn't give them, Qinghuan would probably have to eat coarse food according to their family's current situation. If she gave them some, Qinghuan would at least be able to eat a little more.
Finally, she secretly gave Qinghuan twenty yuan of pocket money and asked her to hide it.
