But she couldn't blame anyone, after all, she was the one who wanted to divorce.

But the reason why she wanted a divorce was that she was afraid that she would be killed by her ex-husband. As a result, after the divorce, her ex-husband became better and better, but she became more and more miserable.

The more Li Li thought about it, the angrier she became, and she couldn't help but lose her temper.

"Eat it if you want, or not! If you don't want to eat it, forget it!"

Faced with Li Li's anger, Ling Chunhua was no longer as timid and afraid as before, but instead became calm and silent.

Ling Jiang was a little unhappy. He brought his daughter here on New Year's Day, not to be bullied.

"Go to the mountain and call dad back. We will be back soon."

Li Li was too lazy to go up the mountain to look for him. Not only was it cold and damp in the mountains, it would also easily dirty her clothes and shoes. "What's there to shout about? He'll be back soon."

Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dajun came back. Seeing Ling Jiang and his daughter in the yard, Li Dajun was immediately surprised.

"Jiang Zi, Chun Hua, when did you come?"

"Just arrived a while ago."

“Grandpa!”

Looking at his beautiful and well-behaved granddaughter, Li Dajun smiled so much that wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.

"Chunhua, you are dressed so beautifully today!"

Ling Chunhua quickly replied: "My aunt bought it for me."

"Is that so? Then when you grow up you must be filial to your aunt."

"Um."

Although the family had no money, Li Dajun still found a piece of red paper and wrapped a 50-cent red envelope for his granddaughter as a New Year's gift.

Ling Jiang sat for a while and then prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he gave Li Li the 20 yuan living allowance for next month, together with 10 kilograms of rice, which he converted into 2.5 yuan.

In addition, he gave Li Dajun 5 yuan, which moved Li Dajun to tears.

In fact, Ling Jiang had always given gifts to his father-in-law and his wife every year, but the money was taken by Zhu Hongping and finally ended up in the hands of Li Zhijie.

Now that Zhu Hongping is dead, Ling Jiang's filial piety naturally falls on Li Dajun.

After seeing the father and daughter off, Li Dajun took his daughter to ask about Ling Jiale's life experience.

"Li, tell me honestly, is Jiale Jiangzi's biological son?"

He knew very well what kind of person his son-in-law was. He could take such good care of his former father-in-law, so it was impossible for him to ignore his own son.

Li Li knew clearly that Jiale's background could be hidden from outsiders but not from her family, so she simply told them the truth.

After learning the truth, Li Dajun almost fainted from anger. He pointed at Li Li and kept scolding her for being stupid.

Li Li defended herself aggrievedly, "I didn't know I was so unlucky. I got pregnant after just a few times, and I couldn't afford an abortion, so I had no choice but to give birth to the child."

After saying that, she complained about her ex-husband Ling Jiang, "After all, it's all because Old Ling is useless. Otherwise, would I have been seduced by Tian?"

Li Dajun blushed and pointed at his daughter, "You, how dare you say such a thing?"

"Why should I be embarrassed? He works hard all day long, and falls asleep as soon as he gets home after dinner. He doesn't come back for ten days or half a month. What can I do?"

Li Dajun was so angry that he couldn't speak.

After getting angry, Li Dajun asked about Ling Jiale’s biological father.

"Does Tian Kai know about this?"

Li Li shook her head. "I haven't had any contact with him since I got pregnant with Jiale."

Li Dajun and Ling Jiang are the same kind of people, honest and hardworking, and don't like to gossip about other people. They just work hard all day long.

Li Dajun first wandered around the village, chatted with the villagers, and then turned to Tianjia Village, which was more than ten miles away.

It was almost dark when Li Dajun hurried back home.

Li Li complained unhappily, "You didn't even come back early on New Year's Day. Jiale and I have already eaten, and I left some food in the pot for you."

"Um."

Li Dajun didn't rush into the kitchen to eat, but looked around, "Where's Jiale?"

"Let's go out and play."

Li Dajun looked at his daughter several times, then took out a small piece of cigarette paper from his inner pocket and handed it to her.

"What is it?"

Li Li couldn't help but wonder when she saw the address written on the cigarette case.

Li Dajun took a deep breath and explained, "I asked someone and found out that Tian Kai is now working in a cigarette factory. This is his current address. Do you want to go look for him?"

Seeing that his daughter didn't say anything, Li Dajun continued, "I heard that Tian Kai is doing quite well in the cigarette factory and his salary is not low. Since Jiale is not Jiangzi's biological child, it doesn't make sense for Jiangzi to support him. It doesn't make sense.

Even if Jiang Zi is willing, when he has a new family in the future, will the one in his family have nothing to say?"

Hearing this, Li Li snorted coldly, "What she said is nothing. She picked up my worn-out shoes and wore them. If she has any complaints, she has to keep them to herself! Lao Ling and I signed an agreement. What right does she have to be dissatisfied?"

Li Dajun advised helplessly, "Why don't you think about yourself and Jiale? 20 yuan a month is enough for food and daily expenses, but what about Jiale's schooling in the future? Do you think it's easy to be both a father and a mother?"

These words really touched Li Li's heart.

During these days since her divorce, she had also thought about looking for Tian Kai.

But she was worried that Tian Kai would continue to be idle as before, and she could not rely on him and would be sucked dry by him instead.

She now has 20 yuan for living expenses and 10 kilograms of rice every month. If she works in the city, her monthly income will be at least 40 yuan.

The cigarette factory sounds good, but can I earn 40 yuan a month?

Li Li decided to find some time to talk to Tian Kai first. If he could earn forty or fifty yuan a month, she would consider letting Jia Le marry Tian Kai.

After visiting neighbors all day yesterday, Yun Mo felt her legs aching as soon as she got up in the morning, as if they were not her own.

"Wife, you are still sleepy, don't you want to sleep a little longer? I will come up and call you later."

Ling Chuan brought the water for washing face, and seeing Yun Mo sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, he couldn't help but ask with concern.

Yun Mo kicked her feet and said, "My legs are sore."

"Then let me give you a massage?"

"Well, pinch it."

Ling Chuan squatted down and massaged her calf bones upwards with his hands.

The sore, swollen and painful feeling made Yun Mo gasp, "Hiss, be gentle... it hurts..."

Huang Zhiqiu prepared breakfast and saw that his daughter and son-in-law had not come downstairs yet, so he wanted to go upstairs to call them. But when he reached the door of his daughter and son-in-law's room, he heard his daughter yelling, so he turned around and tiptoed downstairs.

"Aunt, is my cousin upstairs? I have a question for her."

Huang Zhiqiu grabbed Huang Qingning who was about to go upstairs and said, "Let's go eat first."

"My cousin and the others haven't come down yet."

"They will be down soon, let's eat first."

Huang Qingning looked upstairs with some confusion, as if thinking about something.
