The more Old Mrs. Li thought about it, the more upset she felt, and soon she started to cry out in pain.
But no one cared about her. No matter how miserably she screamed, no one came to ask her a question.
"Mom, you can't stop pretending."
Li Jun was getting impatient with Old Lady Li. "It's the same thing every day. She used to pretend to have a heartache when there was nothing wrong. She's been pretending for years. She lives a better life than her son, eating three bowls of rice every day."
"If you have that much time, why not get me something to eat? I'm starving."
Li Jun drank several large glasses of water, but the water just made a rumbling sound in his stomach. He was still hungry. He was so hungry that even if the food made by Old Lady Li was just pig food, as long as he could eat his fill, it would be fine.
As expected, Old Lady Li was no longer in pain this time. She hurried to the kitchen to make something for Li Jun. However, the food she made was really average. The appearance and taste were also average. It was completely different from what Bai Xiangru made.
Li Jun took a bite with great disgust, but there was nothing he could do but eat all the food into his stomach. It was his own fault that he was hungry.
After finishing the meal, Li Jun finally felt that he was not so hungry anymore. He turned on the TV comfortably and half-lay on the sofa to watch TV.
Perhaps the person who has changed the most in this family is Old Lady Li. Since Bai Xiangru passed away, she has been living like an old maid, doing everything by herself. She is so busy that she doesn't even have time to sleep. After cooking, there is still a pile of clothes to be washed. In the past, she was reluctant to waste electricity, so Bai Xiangru had to wash the clothes by hand. Even in winter, she was not allowed to use the washing machine, and even hot water was not allowed to be boiled for fear of wasting electricity and gas.
Now, she is no longer afraid of wasting electricity. No matter what clothes they are, she throws them into the washing machine. It doesn’t matter whether they are clean or not, as long as they are washed.
Sometimes she was too lazy to wash the clothes, so she would hang them on the rope and wait until the smell dissipated before wearing them again. As long as there was no smell, it was fine. And because of this, her family lived like pigs.
The pig food they ate, the pig sty they lived in, and even their clothes sometimes went unwashed for half a month.
After the dishes were washed, Old Mrs. Li came out groaning. When she saw Li Jun still half lying on the sofa, she was so angry that she wanted to smash things again. What kind of son did she give birth to? He was simply an enemy.
Can't you see that I'm so busy? Why don't you think of coming to help? If I don't wash the dishes, it's always okay to set the table. You really act like you're the emperor. Even if he is the emperor, doesn't that mean she is not the empress dowager?
Yes, she can also be the empress dowager, as long as she has a maid.
But unfortunately, the whole family is composed of emperors, and the newly married wife is the empress dowager.
"Jun..."
Old Mrs. Li came over and also moved a small stool and sat next to Li Jun.
"kindness……"
Li Jun responded lazily and stretched out his hand as usual to look for something on the coffee table. When Bai Xiangru was here, she would make some small snacks like desserts, fried peanuts, and hemp leaves. He would grab one while watching TV. But now, he searched for a long time but didn't find anything. He had no choice but to retract his hand. He didn't even want to watch what was on TV.
"Jun, guess who I met today?"
Old Mrs. Li said mysteriously.
But Li Jun had no interest at all. Could it be some distant aunt or uncle? He didn't want to know and he had no interest. It would be better for her to pick up money, so that she could buy him a few more packs of cigarettes.
Old Mrs. Li felt like she was punching cotton. It was extremely painful.
"Jun, I saw Bai Xiangru."
Li Jun was not interested at first, but when he heard Bai Xiangru's name, he sat up with a cry.
"Where is she? Is she sorting through trash?"
In his opinion, Bai Xiangru was the kind of person who could not survive without their Li family. If she had said a few nice words to him at the beginning, maybe he would have supported her, but she left happily, so now she can't survive, right?
"she……"
Old Mrs. Li also hoped that Bai Xiangru would pick up trash, but she didn't look like someone who would pick up trash. What she couldn't accept the most was that Bai Xiangru's life had been getting better and better since she left their Li family.
On the other hand, the Li family's life is getting harder and harder, and each day is getting worse.
Bai Xiangru must have taken away all the luck in their family. That shameless person almost caused their family to become extinct when she was at home. Now that she is gone, she has taken away all the luck in their family.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Li couldn't help but curl her lips.
"That frivolous, low-class woman found a strange man. She's dressed in gold and silver. I heard the clothes and shoes she wears are worth thousands of yuan, and the bracelet she wears is worth tens of millions."
"Son..."
When Old Lady Li thought of the tens of millions, her heart felt like it was boiling with water and she couldn't calm down at all.
Tens of millions, just a bracelet. How does it feel to carry tens of millions on your body? Aren’t you afraid of getting your hands chopped off?
When Li Jun heard that Bai Xiangru had found a man, was living a good life, and even had bracelets worth tens of millions, he was shocked at first, then angry, and then his teeth ached. In an instant, he felt as if there was a large green grassland above his head.
In his heart, Bai Xiangru has always been his woman, whether they were married or divorced. If she left him, she would only be fit to wash dishes and pick up garbage to beg for food. How could she possibly live a good life? How could she possibly find a rich man and be able to wear a bracelet worth tens of millions?
"Mom, did you see it wrong?"
Li Jun sneered.
"What kind of bracelet is worth tens of millions? It's made of plastic, right? They just want you to see that they're doing well. Who knows what they're eating behind the scenes?"
Anyway, he just didn't believe that Bai Xiangru could live a good life and become rich.
Old lady Li wanted to say that it was a bracelet worth tens of millions, but Li Jun obviously didn't want to listen. He stood up with a whoosh, walked to the door, and slammed the door shut. He didn't even want to pay attention to Old lady Li.
Old Mrs. Li originally wanted to talk about the bracelet again and asked Li Jun to find a way to get the bracelet back to her. She had no way, but Li Jun did. Li Jun always made the woman obedient, clearly.
But now Li Jun didn't want her to talk. She had been knocking on the door outside for a long time, but Li Jun didn't come out.
Old Mrs. Li had a lot to say, but she didn't say it out loud, which made her feel very uncomfortable. When Old Man Li came back, she exaggerated everything and told him everything. After listening to what Old Mrs. Li said, Old Man Li sat there smoking from time to time.
