Chapter 215 This is called retribution
Li Xu was in no mood to care about him, so he said to Li Lei: "Let's have lunch here at noon. After lunch, I'll go get the money and you can take it back."
Neither Li Lei nor Meng Xiaoning refused. After having dinner at Li Xu's house, Meng Xiaoning helped to look after the store while Li Xu took Li Lei to the bank to withdraw money.
On the other side, in Qili Village, Li Yong and Li Miao struggled to move the remaining two baskets of tomatoes off the tractor.
It's past twelve o'clock now. If it were an ordinary day, the fair would have been over long ago.
But now is the end of the year, and everyone is rushing to the annual market. So even after midnight, there are still many people at the market.
After taking the tomatoes off the truck, Li Yong laid them out one by one, neatly arranged in front of him for people to choose.
Li Miao sat next to him, looking a little dazed.
That's tiring!
Early this morning, in order to get a good seat, the brother and sister got up early.
The locations in the market are fixed. The stall owners have paid for them, and retail investors like them cannot enter.
But the positions outside are different. Whoever gets there first gets it.
The two of them were lucky today. There were not many people around when they arrived, so they occupied a very good position.
So business was very good today. They brought more than 20 baskets of tomatoes in total, and they were about to be sold out.
It was the first time for us to do this, so we didn’t dare to ask for more, just 55 cents per pound.
"Go inside and buy some steamed buns and fried dough sticks or something. We can eat first and then go home and have dinner." Li Yong took out a few pieces of change and handed them to Li Miao.
They came after breakfast in the morning. It has been six or seven hours now, and Li Yong is really hungry.
Although Li Miao didn't want to move at all, she still forced herself to stand up. She took the money in her hand and walked inside slowly.
Li Miao felt as if there were two big iron balls tied to his feet and he couldn't move at all.
She walked in in a daze and accidentally bumped into someone.
The other person was a child, and after being bumped by her, the things in his hands fell to the ground.
Li Miao came back to her senses and quickly squatted down to help the child pick up the things. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Auntie didn't mean it. Where are your parents?"
The child kept his head down and Li Miao didn't notice anything unusual.
Soon, a middle-aged woman in her thirties came running behind him, holding a little boy about the same age as Ji Zixuan.
The woman ran over and started to scold him, "What's wrong with you? Don't you look where you are walking? I asked you to carry something and you feel wronged?"
At first, Li Miao thought the woman was scolding him, but as he listened, he felt something was wrong, as if the woman was scolding the little girl in front of him.
Li Miao quickly explained: "Sister, I'm so sorry, it's my fault..."
Li Miao stopped talking halfway when the little girl in front of him looked up.
She never expected that this little girl was actually Shen Lingxue.
It was difficult for Li Miao to connect the person in front of him with the Shen Lingxue in his impression.
In the past, Shen Lingxue always dressed neatly, wearing skirts and small leather shoes. At that time, her face always had an annoying arrogance, as if she was some little princess.
But now...
Li Miao looked Shen Lingxue up and down. She was wearing an ill-fitting black cotton jacket, which was so dirty that it looked unbearable. She was wearing gray cotton pants with patched knees. She was wearing a pair of black cotton shoes, which were obviously too big. I wonder whose shoes they were?
Her long hair had been cut into short ones, and now it was piled up on her head in a mess. Her face was no longer as white and tender as before, but red with wrinkles all over it.
The woman was quite mean to Shen Lingxue, but she waved her hand generously to Li Miao: "It's okay, it's okay."
Li Miao smiled and handed the thing in his hand to Shen Lingxue.
Shen Lingxue looked at Li Miao, clenching her teeth.
That look startled Li Miao.
This doesn't look like the look of a child at all; it's filled with resentment and hatred.
Seeing that Shen Lingxue didn't answer, the woman reached out and slapped her on the head: "Are you stupid? Hurry up and pick up your things and go home with me."
The little boy also chimed in: "Hurry up, I'm almost starving."
The woman treated the little boy with a completely different expression. She said distressedly, "I'm going home now. I'll buy you some buns later. Eat them first."
Seeing that Shen Lingxue was reluctant to take it, Li Miao had no choice but to hand the thing in his hand back to the woman.
The woman took it cursing, and Li Miao nodded, then turned and left.
"Are you dumb or blind? I told you to carry these things, didn't you hear me?" the woman continued to curse.
Li Miao curled the corners of his lips without even turning his head.
To be honest, if it was a strange little girl, she might feel a little distressed.
But this person is Shen Lingxue. Considering what she and her daughter had done in the past, she deserves to suffer now.
She couldn't feel any sympathy for Shen Lingxue.
She even felt secretly happy when she saw that Shen Lingxue was not doing well.
How proud this mother and daughter were at that time!
But what about now? Shen Mei died suddenly, and the Shen family took her pension, but treated her daughter like this.
What do you call this? This is called retribution!
Thinking of this, Li Miao couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
Li Xu had already told the Li family about Chen Mei's car accident, but he omitted the fact that she was threatened in the process.
Li Miao suddenly felt that her legs were no longer sore and her body was no longer tired. She walked briskly to buy some buns and fried dough sticks, and then returned to the place where she came from.
"Second brother, guess who I saw just now?" Li Miao handed the bun to Li Yong and asked with a smile.
Li Yong took the bun and finished it in just three or two bites.
While chewing a bun, he asked vaguely, "Who is it?"
"Chen Lingxue!" Li Miao didn't keep anyone in suspense and said directly.
Li Yong choked when he heard the name. He raised his hands and patted his chest desperately, then he managed to swallow the bun in his mouth.
"Why did you mention her? It's so unlucky!" Li Yong rolled his eyes.
"When I met her, she was with a woman, probably from Chen Mei's family, and she was not nice to her at all. She was dressed like a beggar, and the woman was cursing at her."
"You deserve it!" Li Yong said with a sneer.
The brother and sister were in a very good mood when they learned that Shen Lingxue was not doing well.
For those who have hurt my eldest sister, the worse the other person's life is, the happier they are.
