Li Guifang was also happy and comfortable. To be honest, she didn't like seeing this silly second girl every day.
This girl has been stubborn and twisted since she was young. Well, she is indeed capable. A few years ago, when the family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet, if she hadn't taken care of everything inside and outside the house and helped take care of the children, the family would have collapsed long ago.
But she is easily influenced and has no brains. When it comes to major issues, she is confused and too concerned about face.
I have always been a very contradictory person.
In Li Guifang's words, he is a good worker but his brain is full of mud!
"Mom, I'm back!" Mingjuan rushed into the yard, a bulging cloth bag slung over her arm, a smile on her face. "I brought you some fresh vegetables."
When Li Guifang was secretly criticizing her second daughter, she thought of Cao Cao and he appeared!
Li Guifang tilted her palm-leaf fan towards Li Mingjuan and said, "Is this another one from your mother-in-law's house?"
Li Mingjuan's smile froze. "Look at what you're talking about. This is... This is a benefit from Liu Wei's company..."
"Bullshit!" Li Guifang slammed the basket of vegetables on the ground. "The police station is a legitimate institution. How can they send vegetables to your Liu Wei during a non-holiday season?
Needless to say, these were all sent to you by your in-laws in the village, and you just turned around and took them back to your parents' home.
Later, people will say that our Li family has no rules and that the daughters we raised are only good at stealing our family's wealth!
Li Mingjuan's thoughts were exposed and her face turned red and white.
Li Mingjuan's in-laws are from the countryside. When they were discussing marriage, everyone in the Li family looked down on the Liu family.
Li Guifang always felt that the country people were vulgar, and the Liu family was so poor that they couldn't even afford a decent bride price.
But Liu Wei is a promising kid - after he was demobilized, he was directly assigned to the police station as a police officer and started to eat public food.
Even more remarkable was Liu Wei's genuine love for Mingjuan, always agreeing with her. Li Guifang couldn't persuade her daughter, and the marriage was finally arranged.
But since getting married, Li Mingjuan never mentioned anything about her in-laws' family when she was at her parents' home.
Every time she went back to her parents' home, when her husband's family asked her to bring some local specialties, she would stammer and say that they were "bought on the road or distributed by the company", and she never dared to bring her husband's family to visit.
She always remembered her mother's words "country people are ignorant" and was afraid that mentioning her in-laws would lead to her mother's ridicule.
Li Guifang was a little bothered at first, but now that her son-in-law has been allocated a house by his company and has settled down in the city, she no longer cares about it.
But Li Mingjuan was so stubborn that she kept this knot in her heart for so many years.
"Mom..." Mingjuan's eyes turned red and she started to wipe away her tears again.
"Stop, stop, stop. You're crying as soon as you come back. Don't make me chase you away. Come inside!"
Li Guifang snatched the cloth bag from Li Mingjuan's hand, untied it quickly and took a look: "Oh, my dear, you are so kind. This little amaranth is so tender that you can squeeze out the juice.
Where can you buy something this fresh in the city!" He said as he walked towards the kitchen and picked up a vegetable leaf.
Li Mingjuan stood at the door, her eyes suddenly red with anger because of her mother.
Her mother's words sounded like a compliment, but she had always been sarcastic in the past.
"There's nothing you can't buy in the city" and "These things have to be specially sent to you" - she has heard these words so many times that her ears are callused.
But her mother's attitude changed so quickly. Was she truly changed, or was she just being sarcastic? Li Mingjuan was completely bewildered.
"Are you standing there like a door god?" Li Guifang came out of the kitchen and saw her daughter still standing there in a daze. She quickly walked over, grabbed her arm and dragged her into the house. "Hurry inside. You don't get paid to bask in the sun, and you don't feel the heat!"
Li Mingjuan staggered as she was dragged along, her heart still in turmoil, it was very exciting.
In the main hall, Li Guifang saw that Li Mingjuan had already drunk several jars of water, so she couldn't help asking, "Tell me, what did you hold back on this time?"
Li Mingjuan rubbed the corner of her clothes and stammered, "Um... Mom, my eldest brother came to my house yesterday..."
"What does that bastard want from you? Did he come to your house to extort money?" Li Guifang got furious when she heard that.
"He said... he wanted to borrow some money..." Li Mingjuan's voice gradually faded away. "He said he needed to take care of his graduate studies..."
"Bullshit!" Li Guifang slammed her hand on the table. "What a heartless person! He even betrayed his own sister!"
Li Mingjuan quickly explained, "Brother said he'll pay it back next month when he gets his salary..."
"Do you believe Li Mingyuan's lies? Even a flying pig wouldn't be more trustworthy than him!"
Li Guifang was so angry that she was pacing around in the room. "How can he get next month's salary? When we split up the family business, we promised to give it to your father as his pension for the next few years.
He is borrowing money from you now because he is deliberately trying to help you. You better be careful!
He got so angry that he grabbed Li Mingjuan's hand and said, "I'm telling you, you can't lend me a penny of this money!"
Li Mingjuan was pinched so hard that it hurt, and she whispered, "But my brother said... if I don't lend it to him, he..."
"He's a piece of shit!" Li Guifang cursed. "He thinks he can become successful just by studying for a master's degree? Li Mingyuan is a coward!
Don't talk about a few years ago, even now, look at us, there are only a few college students. The number of college students on our street can be counted on one hand.
As one of the first graduates, he has such a good opportunity. Do you think he can make it?
After working in the company for so many years, I still have to resort to some shady means to get promoted!
Why would he go to graduate school this time? He's a pheasant dreaming of a phoenix! I, Li Guifang, won't stop him! He can fly as high as he wants, don't expect me to cover his losses!
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
