This was the result of her teaching, but for some reason, she didn't want Li Li to see it.
"Hey, sister-in-law, are you free at home?"
Yun Mo sat quietly, looking at Li Li who was walking towards her with her son with a distant look.
"Sister-in-law is here."
Li Li patted her son on the back, signaling him to go play by himself. Then she sat down opposite her in a familiar manner, her eyes darting around the yard.
"Your place is still the best, it's big and spacious, and the water and rice are good for people. Look at my Chun family, they have lived here for only two days and their faces have become rounder."
Ling Chunhua still had a wound on her head, but Li Li didn't care and rubbed Ling Chunhua's face vigorously with her hands.
"Sister-in-law, Chunhua's wound hasn't healed yet, please be gentle."
Hearing her reminder, Li Li glanced at her and then said to her daughter: "Oh, Chunhua, look how much your aunt loves you. Even I, your mother, can't touch you more."
Yun Mo was too lazy to beat around the bush, "What's the matter with you today, sister-in-law?"
"Nothing much, I just came to see how my Chunhua is doing."
Yun Mo didn't believe a word of this.
However, the other person was Chunhua's biological mother, so she couldn't just ask her to leave, so she just sat there and said nothing more.
Li Li certainly didn't come to see her daughter Chunhua. After chatting about family matters for a while, she couldn't help but reveal her purpose.
"Sister-in-law, I came here today because I have something small that I want you and Chuanzi to help with."
Seeing Yun Mo's cold attitude and no reaction, Li Li began to play the victim, "You also know about my mother's family. My mother is still in the detention center. If I don't find a way to solve it, I may end up in jail."
Yun Mo spoke calmly, "Sister-in-law, Ling Chuan and I can't help with this matter. We are just ordinary people living our daily lives. How can we challenge the police?"
Li Li immediately said, "I can help you, sister-in-law. Boss Wei has offered a condition that she will withdraw the case immediately if she is compensated with 200 yuan. I came here today to borrow money from you and Chuanzi."
"I have no money."
"Sister-in-law, I can believe that others have no money, but I don't believe that you have no money. Apart from other things, the gold bracelet on your hand and the antique jar are worth a lot of money. You have lived in the Yun family for so long, how could you not have saved some private money?"
It turned out that he was after her gold bracelet and antique jar.
"Sister-in-law, we are a family, we should help each other. Besides, I'm not going to pay you back after I borrow it. My old Ling is doing well now, he can easily earn 100 to 80 yuan a month, I will definitely pay you back in a year or so."
When other people borrow money, they might think about paying it back as soon as possible, but for the Li family, it's like throwing meat buns at a dog.
Yun Mo didn't want to embarrass Li Li in front of Ling Chunhua, "Chunhua, go play with your brother. I'll talk to your mother."
"Um."
After Ling Chunhua walked away, Yun Mo spoke bluntly, "Sister-in-law, whether I have money or not is my business, and whether I am willing to lend is also my freedom. As for the family you mentioned, forget it. Our family is now separated, and I have never had any dealings with your Li family. You can find someone else to borrow money."
Hearing that Yun Mo refused to lend the money, Li Li's expression changed immediately, "Sister-in-law, are you planning to watch someone die without helping? How can you be so cruel?"
"Oh, is your mom dying?"
"You!" Li Li was so angry that her face almost twisted. "We are relatives after all, and you actually said such vicious words. Aren't you afraid that others will poke you in the back?"
Yun Mo sneered, "It was my sister-in-law who said that she would not help someone in need, so of course I thought he was dying. As for being stabbed in the back, with all the sneaky things Li Zhijie did, it's not certain who will be stabbed in the back.
As the saying goes, it is hard to prevent thieves from happening at home even if you are on guard day and night. In the past few years since my sister-in-law married into the Ling family, many neighbors in the old street have lost valuables, right? Who do you think did it?"
Yun Mo guessed correctly. In the past few years, Li Zhijie had taken advantage of the opportunity to come to the Ling family for money to commit petty thefts, and sometimes asked Li Li to spy and keep watch.
Although Li Li was not happy about it, if she didn't do it Li Zhijie would ask her for money. In order to protect her money, she had no choice but to go along with him.
Yun Mo heard from Zhou Xiaowei about the fact that the old street was often robbed.
She was not sure whether this matter had anything to do with Li Zhijie, and she just lied casually. But when she saw Li Li's guilty and frightened reaction, the three-point doubt in her heart immediately turned into ten-point doubt.
Li Zhijie not only stole petty crimes, but also stole the money that the Zhou family had borrowed with great difficulty to pay for Grandpa Zhou's medical treatment two years ago.
The money was gone, Grandpa Zhou’s illness was not cured, and he passed away within two months. The Zhou family was left with a huge debt.
It was not until Zhou Xiaowei was injured on a construction site some time ago and received a large sum of compensation that the debt was paid off.
But Zhou Xiaowei's health was damaged as a result, and he could no longer do physical work. For a poor young man who made a living by physical labor, his life was half ruined.
With Yun Mo holding the handle on her, Li Li didn't dare to mention borrowing money again, but she was unwilling to leave either.
She curled her lips and said, "Since my sister-in-law doesn't want to lend it, I won't force it. I'll wait for Chuanzi to come back and ask him to borrow it. Chuanzi won't be as hard-hearted as my sister-in-law."
Yun Mo was too lazy to pay attention to the other party. She was thinking of finding a reason to drive him away when she suddenly heard Erbai's shouting and Ling Jiale's crying coming from the cabin.
"Erbai!"
"Jia Le!"
Yun Mo and Li Li stood up almost at the same time and ran towards the cabin.
When the two ran to the cabin, Ling Chunhua had already dragged Ling Jiale out of the cabin.
Seeing that her son's face and forehead were red, swollen and broken, Li Li was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Ling Chunhua in the face.
"How do you take care of your brother?"
Ling Chunhua was hit so hard that her body tilted and her head hit the door frame of the wooden house, making a loud "bang".
Yun Mo quickly pulled Ling Chunhua up and carefully checked the location of Ling Chunhua's wound. She was relieved when she saw no blood oozing out.
She couldn't help but turned around and scolded Li Li, "Chunhua still has a wound on her head, why did you hit her, sister-in-law?"
Li Li snorted coldly, "It's my daughter, I can beat her whenever I want, it's none of your business."
Yun Mo was very angry, so she turned around and asked Ling Chunhua, "Chunhua, you didn't get hurt, did you? Does your head hurt?"
"No, it doesn't hurt."
Perhaps she was frightened, Ling Chunhua's face was pale, and the look she gave Li Li was full of nervousness and anxiety.
Yun Mo glanced at Li Li who was hugging Ling Jiale and coaxing him, and felt very angry.
They are both born of the same mother, but one is treated like a piece of trash while the other is treated like a treasure. It's really infuriating and hateful.
"Mom, the goose is pecking me. Woo woo, kill the goose..."
After hearing what her son said, Li Li realized that the wound on her son's face was caused by being pecked by a goose. She was so angry that she wanted to settle the score with the goose on the spot.
