"I think so!" Zhang Hongmei nodded. "So what should we do now?"
"What can we do? Just go along with her first. He Beichen is quite rich, and we can't let her divorce He Beichen!" Li Jianping said.
In his opinion, although his son suffered a little loss, he was not really injured. Not to mention Zhang Hongmei, she only had a few hairs cut. Now the most important thing is to stabilize Li Xin and get money from He Beichen!
“…” Zhang Hongmei could guess what he was thinking, but when she touched the strand of hair that Li Xin had cut off, she obviously felt a little disappointed.
This is the truth, but it’s really frustrating that I can’t teach that damn girl a lesson!
Li Xueping didn't say anything, but was listening beside him, lost in thought.
It was the same in the previous life. Li Xin was forced to marry He Beichen. Although she had made a fuss before, at most she would just lock herself in the room and not come out. In the end, she had to swallow her anger and accept it.
But this life is completely different. She has changed so much after getting married.
It's like he's become a different person!
Could it be that he is really possessed?
…
Li Xueping thought a lot. When she woke up the next morning, she saw Zhang Hongmei busy in the kitchen, so she walked in.
"Mom, Li Xin hasn't eaten for two days, right?" She walked to Zhang Hongmei and mentioned it casually.
"If she didn't eat, then she didn't eat. It would be best if she starved to death!" Zhang Hongmei was still angry about what happened yesterday. When she heard Li Xin's name, her tone was aggressive.
"But if she really starves to death, we won't be able to get the money from He Beichen." Li Xueping reminded her.
“…”
Although Zhang Hongmei was reluctant, she still put some more cornmeal into the pot.
Yes, she can't go against money!
"She must have stolen food from the kitchen. How could she starve to death?" Zhang Hongmei muttered as she worked.
She always felt that a lot of things were missing from the kitchen, but the firewood had not been moved and there was no garbage. Zhang Hongmei had no evidence to prove that Li Xin had stolen anything, so she could only let the matter go.
After making breakfast, Zhang Hongmei took a bowl of corn paste and went to Li Xin's room and knocked on the door.
"Hey, the food is outside for you. Do you want to eat it or not?" Zhang Hongmei shouted inside, and then put the corn paste at the door.
Li Xin looked down upon the bowl of corn paste. Sanmao used the ingredients she brought back to make her soy milk, fried dough sticks, and vegetable buns. Aren’t they much more delicious than the bowl of corn paste?
"Li Xin, your wedding rest time is over, it's time to go back to work." Before going to the fields, Li Jianping came over and knocked on Li Xin's door.
"Oh, I see." These past few days, she almost forgot that she had to go to work.
Zhang Hongmei looked at the corn paste still at the door, snorted coldly, and walked out quickly with her farm tools.
After the two people left, Li Xueping also glanced at the door of Li Xin's room and followed him out.
"Sister, wait for me!" Li Zhisen ran out of the house excitedly with his schoolbag on his back.
This house can't be stayed any longer!
He would rather go out to school!
Li Xin was in the room, listening to the four people in the family leave one after another. The entire Li family home was empty, and she was the only one left.
"Isn't this the opportunity?" Li Xin opened the door with a bright smile.
In line with the principle of not wasting, she took the bowl of corn paste into the room, and then went to Li Jianping and Zhang Hongmei's room.
Not only was their room door not locked, it wasn't even closed, so Li Xin walked in smoothly.
The furnishings in the room were simple. In that era, homes didn't have safes or anything like that, and there were only a few places where important items would be hidden.
Li Xin walked towards the bed and turned over the two pillows. Sure enough, he found some change from the pillowcases. It wasn't much, just about ten yuan.
But even a mosquito leg is meat, so Li Xin just put it into the space.
"Radio? This thing seems to be a good thing in this era." Li Xin saw an old-fashioned radio next to him and took it away.
Wherever he passed, Li Xin would collect anything valuable or practical into his space, creating a scene where a swarm of locusts would pass through and not a blade of grass would grow.
"It's hidden in here..." Li Xin crawled out from under the bed and took out a small wooden box with a lock.
She took out a hairpin from the space, pushed it into the keyhole, and easily pried the lock open. There was a lot of money inside, including the betrothal money given by He Beichen.
Li Xin counted and found that after deducting the things he bought for his family, he still had 1,688 yuan left.
Li Xin put all these away and went to look inside the wardrobe. Luckily, he found some change in the corner of the wardrobe.
"These two pieces of clothing are nice and look brand new." She looked at the new clothes Zhang Hongmei bought for her in the closet and simply took them down and threw them into the space.
After turning this room upside down, Li Xin entered Li Xueping's room. Compared with the master bedroom, Li Xueping's room looked simpler.
She found more than ten yuan and some simple small jewelry in the desk and took them all away. She even took away Li Xueping's college entrance examination review materials.
"Tsk tsk, White Rabbit milk candy, malted milk... Zhang Hongmei is really willing to spend money on her son." Li Xin finally walked into Li Zhisen's room.
Although White Rabbit Milk Candy is not considered a luxury item in later generations, it can be considered a high-end candy in that era. Many people can only eat it during the Chinese New Year, let alone in the countryside, where they probably will never get to eat it in their entire lives.
