Chapter 85 Li Fen Awakens
Hong Youliang knew the reason.
According to people from the same village, he and his elder sister's biological father was not kind to their mother when he was young. After he passed away, his relatives bullied them, an orphan and a widow, and joined hands to steal the valuables in the house.
Later, their stepfather took them in because he saw that they were an orphan and a widow and had a hard time.
Soon I had a younger brother, and life became better.
But it didn't get better for many years, as my stepfather passed away.
But having had that "experience", Mrs. Hong became much stronger. Not only did she manage to keep her family wealth under the "encirclement and suppression" of the Hong family, she also raised her three children during those difficult years.
Mrs. Hong has always felt that Hong Youliang and his sister are unlucky for her, and only the youngest son can bring good luck to her.
In fact, seriously speaking, Hong Youliang's stepfather also has the surname Hong, and he is the uncle of their brother and sister.
Therefore, there was not much obstacle for Mrs. Hong to remarry.
After all, for the Hong family, it is a matter of "internal digestion".
Hong Youliang is the oldest and he remembers everything the family went through in the early years. In addition, under the deliberate suppression of Mrs. Hong, Hong Youliang had no intention of resisting at all.
But now that he has his own beloved wife and daughter, does he still have to live the life where he is oppressed and sucked dry by his own mother?
Li Fen suddenly said, "When Niuniu gets better, we'll move."
Hong Youliang said: "Whatever you say is what it is."
Li Fen glared at him angrily, "Then you are not allowed to tell your mother about our new address."
Before Hong Youliang could say anything, Li Fen couldn't help but ask, "Do you hope that our Niuniu's new clothes will also be taken away by your mother?"
Hong Youliang suddenly said awkwardly, "No, no! Don't tell her."
"But you know my mother's personality..."
His voice lowered, lacking confidence, and he looked very cowardly, which made Li Fen so angry that she turned her head away without even looking at him. "She knew you were studying at X University. If she didn't know where we lived and had no place to ask for money, she would have gone to the school to make trouble."
A hint of anger suddenly appeared on Li Fen's face.
"If she dares to come to school, I will fight her!"
Hong Youliang was so frightened that he shook and almost buried his face in the ground.
Li Fen added, "Don't set up a stall anymore."
He raised his head and said, "How can that be possible? Although the school has subsidies, didn't my mother take all the money?"
Li Fen felt despair after hearing this.
"Have you withdrawn all the money from the card?"
Hong Youliang quickly said, "No, no! There are some left."
Li Fen breathed a sigh of relief. Her husband had good cooking skills and the bun shop could make a lot of money in a month. But Li Fen has always been frugal, always thinking that she and her husband have lived a hard life, so it doesn't matter if they spend less.
If they spend less, they can save more for Niu Niu.
But this incident reminded Li Fen.
They can't be overly frugal. If the house they rented was better and they closed the door, could Chen Honghua, who is so shameless, have broken the door down and come in as a robber?
Although Chen Honghua is aggressive, she is also a bully at home.
She is just good at talking to outsiders, and if she makes a big fuss, no one will give her any mercy.
If you rent a good house, you will have to pay for it if the door is broken.
Most of the time, people seek benefits and avoid harm.
No matter how powerful a person is, he is not immune to this.
In other words, the place they are renting now is very shabby and the door locks are broken and can be opened with just a push.
Moreover, Li Fen always felt like someone was pushing their door at night recently.
However, they are used to propping up the door with a cabinet before going to bed, which makes them feel a little more at ease.
Chen Honghua had no idea that going to college was free. Not only was it free, the school also provided a lot of subsidies. The couple had concealed this fact from Chen Honghua at the beginning.
Bringing Hong Youliang and his daughter along was also Li Fen's excuse.
Using the excuse that school costs money, she had to let Hong Youliang take her daughter to earn tuition for her. The family could live together, cook for themselves, and save some living expenses.
If Mrs. Hong knew that not only was going to college free, but there were also a lot of subsidies, then she would not be able to keep the money at all.
But even so, when Niu Niu fell ill this time, Hong Youliang happened to go and withdraw some money and kept it at home.
I usually don’t take out that much money. The rented house is not good and it’s not safe to keep it at home.
Unexpectedly, the two things happened at the same time and the money was not saved.
Of course, her husband had kept the fact that he could earn so much in a month by setting up a stall a secret from his mother. If his mother knew that he could earn so much just by setting up a stall, there would be no way they could live in peace for so long, she would be so upset!
This matter is also an unspoken understanding between the couple.
But Li Fen now has no trust in her man. She confirmed, "You set up a stall to sell buns every day and you can make a lot of money in a month. You definitely didn't tell your mother?"
Hong Youliang was stunned and quickly said, "I didn't tell her."
In fact, it wasn't that he intentionally concealed it, he just didn't think that much about it.
Hong Youliang is like an old slave in this family who works hard and never complains.
People like him have no idea how to please Old Lady Hong, and they don't even bother to tell her how much money they earn. No matter how much he earns, Mrs. Hong will never be happy with him.
Li Fen breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you didn't say anything."
"With your mother's temper, if she knew you could make so much money selling buns, you wouldn't even be able to touch a bun in the future!"
Hong Youliang was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands.
What his wife said is right. If his mother knew about this, she would definitely make him give such a good business to his younger brother, and then drive him away for the sake of his younger brother.
Or ask him to help make buns. Anyway, it’s definitely not his turn to collect the money.
The couple reached a temporary consensus.
Li Fen looked at Hong Youliang. He was wearing a worn dark blue shirt, a torn jacket, and an old apron that had been washed so much that it looked bleached.
Hong Youliang has no other clothes, whether he lives in the village or in the city.
After entering the city, Li Fen bought him a few sets.
But he doesn't wear much.
If it were other people, most of them would think that he didn't wear it because he didn't like it, but Li Fen knew that it was not that he didn't like it, he just couldn't bear to wear it.
Now, none of them are left.
All of this went to my brother-in-law!
When Li Fen thought of those clothes, her heart was filled with hatred.
Fortunately, she had three such good roommates. She felt a little better and silently vowed to repay them in the future.
When she looked at her husband again, she said unhappily, "Do you know why my roommate didn't buy you clothes?"
Hong Youliang scratched the back of his head and said honestly, "Who am I? Why would they buy it for me?"
"Just buy it for you and our Niuniu, wife, we must repay them well in the future!"
This time Li Fen didn't argue with him, "Of course!"
She asked again: "What are you going to do?"
Hong Youliang felt a little warm in his heart, "I'm fine, what new clothes do I need?"
"You can't just not change anything, right? The doctor said Niuniu's illness is caused by some bacterial or viral infection. If you don't take a shower or change your clothes, you'll be dirty all over. Don't get close to my daughter in the future."
Hong Youliang was shocked. "What should I do?"
Li Fen said angrily: "Go to the market and buy two changes. You should clean up for my daughter!"
What else can Hong Youliang say?
Naturally, there is nothing to object to.
But after this, Li Fen's anger slowly subsided.
She knew in her heart that Chen Honghua might indeed want to use her, but the dull Hong Youliang might not.
He is an honest man and has been honest for half his life.
But if they can rob me of money and things this time, it is possible that they will go even further in the future. If my husband cannot stand on his own, then this family will either continue to be bullied or break up!
Her eyes suddenly became sharp, and she asked, "Let me ask you, what will you do next time your mother comes?"
