Holding the kitchen knife tightly in her hand, she walked straight towards the dilapidated building where the Bai family lived.
The more she held the kitchen knife, the more confident she felt. Her back straightened, her chin raised, and she began to look at people with her two big nostrils.
When she arrived and opened the door, a middle-aged man came out. He was not from the Bai family. She had seen all the members of the Bai family before, but this man was not one of them.
"Who are you looking for?"
The man was sleeping soundly when he heard someone knocking on the door as if calling out to his soul. He beat Old Mrs. Li up and down.
Don’t know.
"I'm looking for someone from the Bai family."
Old Mrs. Li looked inside from time to time, and cursed Old Mrs. Bai in her heart.
She is already so old, but she still keeps a man and doesn't feel ashamed. It is true that like mother, like daughter. Bai Xiangru, that promiscuous woman, cuckolded her son, while the shameless old lady Bai kept a man behind the old man's back.
"Bai family, there are no Bai family members here." The man said unhappily.
"You are lying!" Old Mrs. Li's eyes were red. The Bai family lived here, and she brought them here personally. They had no money and no ability, so how could they live in other houses, unless they were rich now and found a wealthy place to live.
"Neuropathy!"
The man didn't care whether Mrs. Li was a woman or old. He didn't know her. She was making as much noise as a chicken, which made it difficult for him to sleep.
He pushed Old Lady Li out directly and slammed the door.
Old Mrs. Li was not giving up and knocked on the door again. Soon the man came out and slapped her without saying a word.
As expected, this is the case of "evil will be punished by evil". In front of Bai Xiangru, Old Lady Li is like the Queen Mother, but in front of others, she is as obedient as a dog. She dares not fight back when being beaten and can only run away in shame. She even dares not take out the kitchen knife in her hand, for fear that once she does, it will not be others who get chopped, but herself.
She knows her own limitations. It's okay to scare people, but if a fight really breaks out, she will be the one who suffers in the end.
But she still didn't give up and didn't believe that the Bai family was not there. The Bai family must have known that she was coming, so they deliberately avoided her.
She found a secluded place for herself and stared at the dangerous building without blinking. After a while, her eyes and back became sore, but she still didn't want to leave. Until she suddenly lowered her head and hit it on the wall, she came to her senses.
It turned out that she had been waiting for someone here, and she waited so long that she fell asleep.
Her stomach growled. After being hungry for a whole day, she didn't even have the strength to walk.
The monk can run away, but the temple cannot. She had to fill her stomach first.
Old Mrs. Li stood up from the ground with stiff hands and feet. Just as she was about to leave, she felt something was wrong.
"My knife?"
She looked at her empty hands, her eyes wide open. She had clearly been holding the kitchen knife in her hand, so how could it disappear? Could it have fallen on the ground? But she tried to dig up the soil here, but couldn't find the kitchen knife.
She was so anxious that she was running around in circles, but the kitchen knife never appeared.
Who the hell took her kitchen knife? It was the money she had saved for several months.
She clapped her legs and cried, but there were few people in the dilapidated building. Even those who lived here were so poor that they could barely afford to eat. If they were not really poor, who would dare to live here in a house that could collapse at any time? They would not even want to live here.
They were tired and numb after a day. Even if Old Lady Li slapped her legs or howled, they would just look at her numbly without any reaction.
Seeing that no one paid any attention to her after she cried for a long time, Old Lady Li finally stood up by herself. However, she was not giving up and searched around for a long time but still couldn't find the kitchen knife. Finally, she was very angry and walked home on an empty stomach.
As a result, when she returned home and opened the door, she was stunned.
Her home, what happened to her home?
The TV was smashed, the table had broken legs, pots and pans were scattered everywhere, the glass was broken, and the whole house was smashed to pieces. There was no place to put your feet.
"Who did this? Who did this?"
Old Mrs. Li almost screamed. Who smashed her house? Who did it?
"Who else could have done this?"
A neighbor came over and stuck his head in. He just looked down on Old Lady Li. He thought that Bai Xiangru, such a good daughter-in-law, had been tortured into such a state by her. She even killed her child, such a young and well-behaved child. It was such a sin.
Now, finally, I got my retribution.
"Did you destroy our house?"
Old Mrs. Li is like a mad dog now, biting anyone she catches.
The neighbor curled his lips and snorted.
"I'm not interested in going to your house. Besides, what's there to smash? It's smelly and dirty. Go ask your good son and daughter-in-law, and you'll know who smashed it."
Old Mrs. Li's legs went weak and she fell to the ground, slapping her thighs and crying.
When Old Man Li came back from playing chess outside, he was stunned when he saw Old Lady Li sitting on the ground and the house that was smashed to pieces.
He simply grabbed Old Lady Li's collar and lifted her up, but Old Lady Li's hands and feet were so weak, as if she had no bones, that Old Man Li dragged her in and then slammed the door shut. The laughter of the people outside made his face hot, and he really wanted to kick Old Lady Li to death, it was so embarrassing.
"Still not cleaning up?"
Old man Li kicked old lady Li.
Old Mrs. Li wiped her tears and felt hungry, but she couldn't beat Old Man Li, so she could only pick up the broom and start cleaning up. However, the house was much more severely damaged than she had imagined. Not only was the outside smashed, but the kitchen was also not spared. All the pots and pans inside were broken into pieces, and even the stove was smashed.
Old Mrs. Li wiped her tears from time to time, feeling very aggrieved. This was the house she had lived in for more than 20 years. Every bowl and piece of cloth in it was bought with her hard work. But now it was smashed into this state, which was really a thorn in her heart.
After cleaning up for most of the day, I finally finished it, but the window was broken and needed to be replaced with glass, and the TV was smashed and couldn't be repaired, so I had to sell it. Even if it was sold as junk, it wouldn't fetch much money.
The pots and bowls inside were all unusable. The pots could be washed but the bowls were all broken into pieces, not a single one was intact.
The two of them lowered their heads and sighed at home, neither of them wanting to say another word.
