At that time, many people were starving, but the villagers were still willing to help Li Jun and his children, which showed their great kindness.
The Li family, who are actually Li Jun's uncle and aunt, are still trying to get benefits from him. These people have no conscience whatsoever.
Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.
The voice of Li Jun's second aunt rang out from the doorway.
"Xiao Jun."
These past few days, rumors have been circulating in the village that Li Jun's children have caught the eye of a benefactor, who has given them new clothes and blankets. They say they're all wearing cotton-padded clothes and have more meat than they can eat.
Aunt Li was incredibly excited when she heard this.
These days, the family eats sweet potatoes and coarse grains every day, and hasn't even had white rice for many meals. When she heard that her nephews and his family were eating meat, she couldn't resist.
When my older brother and sister-in-law were alive, they often borrowed things from them. After they passed away, they took over the house.
They originally wanted to support Li Jun and have him help with household chores, so that he could do most of the work. However, Li Jun stayed with his sister and the other orphans and refused to go to their house at all.
They even went to study.
They don't even have enough money for their children's school fees.
Aunt Li was naturally jealous. So every few days, she would use the excuse of visiting Li Jun and his sister to go there and look for things, and then she would just steal them.
New cotton quilts and cotton-padded clothes—these are such good things. The weather has been so cold this year, and none of her children have new cotton-padded clothes. How could Li Jun and his sister deserve to wear such clothes?
As soon as Aunt Li walked in, she saw Captain Zhang in the room. Her face turned a little embarrassed, but she smiled at Captain Zhang.
"Captain."
Captain Zhang frowned as he looked at Aunt Li and said...
"Li Er's wife, what brings you here?"
“The weather is getting colder and colder. My husband told me to come and check on the two kids. If it’s too cold here, I’ll take them home to sleep.”
Aunt Li had a sudden inspiration and came up with an excuse.
Aunt Li's gaze fell on Jiang Yue and Lu Yu. This woman was dressed so beautifully, just like city people.
That wool coat is really nice, and she's wearing leather shoes. Those shoes must cost tens of dollars a pair, right?
"They are fine, you can go back now."
When Aunt Li saw Jiang Yue, she felt as if she had found a glittering treasure. Since such a wealthy person could give things to Li Jun and his family, wouldn't her family also get something? Bringing a few pounds of meat to her house and giving her some money would be wonderful.
Jiang Yue noticed Li Ershen's gaze, and her greedy and calculating expression made her face darken.
"Comrade, I'm Li Jun's second aunt. I heard you've been taking good care of Li Jun and his sister, thank you so much. You haven't had lunch yet, have you? Why don't you come to my house for a meal?"
Seeing that Jiang Yue didn't say anything, Aunt Li started playing the emotional card again.
“These past few years, Xiaojun and his sister have had a very hard time. We uncles and aunts don’t have the means, so we can only try our best to help…” Aunt Li burst into tears as soon as she said that, her eyes wide open as if they didn’t care about money.
Watching her performance, Jiang Yue felt that it was a waste of her talent that she wasn't acting.
If it weren't for what Captain Zhang said, and Li Jun's firm insistence on selling the house to her, she might have really been deceived by Aunt Li.
Aunt Li was surprised that after all she had said, the woman in front of her hadn't said a word. Moreover, her gaze was very cold.
Could it be that Li Jun and his group spoke ill of them?
