Each elementary school textbook is not thick, so the price is not high. After weighing, the total price was 21 cents. Liu Xiaolian said a lot of good things, and the old man at the scrap yard finally agreed to give her the one cent!
Liu Xiaolian went home carrying a pile of elementary school textbooks!
As soon as Liu Xiaolian entered the yard, Sister Liu, who was waiting for her to come back, saw her. Seeing Liu Xiaolian holding something in her hand, Sister Liu happily stepped forward and said:
"What did your Aunt Gu give you today? I told you it was right to listen to me. The youngest son of the Gu family is back, and it's the right time for you to go now. How about it, is the youngest son of the Gu family interested in you?"
"Ah, the Gu family is still well-off, giving you so many things so easily!"
As she said that, Sister Liu went to take the thing from Liu Xiaolian's hand. When she took it, she saw that it was an elementary school textbook. Sister Liu's face suddenly turned bad and she said:
"Why did you bring back such a pile of useless things? Why don't you have something else to eat or wear? Why do you want this pile of waste paper?"
"Take it back and burn it as firewood. I hate it because it can't be burned!"
Thinking of a possibility, Sister Liu changed her expression and asked:
"Is it because your Aunt Gu doesn't like you anymore? You must have done something wrong. Come on, come with me and apologize now!"
Liu Xiaolian was flustered by what Sister Liu said, but in order to avoid being exposed, she pretended to be calm and said:
"Mom, that's not the case. Aunt Gu and Brother Gu were in a hurry to go to Grandpa Gu's house, so they asked me to come back first!"
"These books were found by Aunt Gu. She said they were from Gu Yanting's childhood. Aunt Gu told me to read more books..."
Sister Liu said half-believingly:
"Read books. Why do you read so many books? You are already that old. What's the point of reading books?"
"You are so free. I might as well get you a piece of cloth so you can make clothes for your brother, or a piece of meat so we can have something good to eat during the New Year..."
At this point, Sister Liu thought of a possibility and said excitedly:
"She wants you to be with Gu Yanting and train you as the daughter-in-law of the Gu family?"
"Oh, that must be the case. Look at Gu Yanlei's wife. Isn't she doing a great job?"
"Is this because they are afraid that you will be outdone?"
Liu Xiaolian actually hoped that what Sister Liu said was true, but she knew in her heart that it was not the case at all!
No matter how clear she was in her heart, she would not deny it. Her purpose was not to please Sister Liu and Mother Gu.
I just didn’t expect that Sister Liu had such a beautiful idea!
So Liu Xiaolian pretended to be shy and said:
"Mom, it's nothing, don't talk nonsense!"
Sister Liu patted her hard and said:
"You stupid girl, what do you know? Do you know Gu Yanting's mother better than me?"
Seeing Liu Xiaolian's shy look, Sister Liu said sourly:
"You are so lucky. When you marry into the Gu family, don't forget your family. You must help your brother, okay?"
How could Liu Xiaolian dare to say no? She nodded and said obediently:
"Okay, Mom, I will definitely not forget my brother!"
Sister Liu thought that Liu Xiaolian was going to have a good life, better than her and her son, and she felt uncomfortable again and scolded Liu Xiaolian:
"Okay, stop standing here. There's a lot of work to do at home. You can't see the pile of clothes. Go wash them!"
