Chapter 225: My Uncle Comes to Pay New Year’s Greetings
Meng Qiuju had no choice but to sigh and say that it was her own fault.
Ai Zhu sneered, thinking, "You deserve it!" If it weren't for the matter involving Meng Qiuju and herself, she wouldn't have bothered to talk to Meng Qiuju. Anyway, she would be going to the city in a few days.
After seeing Lu Jingshen today, Ai Zhu felt that Lu Jingshen was handsome and had a strong aura. He was really great and she thought he must be hers.
Ai Laibao didn't sleep much that night, for fear of missing something important. He didn't fall asleep until dawn.
The next morning, the yangko team on the street came to their street. At that time, the yangko team went from house to house. Whoever wanted to let the yangko team dance in their yard had to hang firecrackers at the door in advance. After all, they had to give wedding money, starting from ten yuan, to let the yangko team dance. Not every family could do that.
The Lu family would not have spent this money in the past, but this year is different. When Lu Guojiu saw the yangko team coming, he quickly asked Lu Jingyuan to go out and hang firecrackers.
With the cheers of a group of children, the yangko team arrived at Lu Guojiu's yard.
Ai Xiaoxia gave candies and dried fruits to the children who were watching the fun, and Lu Jingshen gave the yangko team a big red envelope of 88 yuan. Their family was doing well, so they gave more for good luck.
After the yangko team left, Ai Xiaoxia stood at the door and watched the little girls running and jumping, and thought of her sister Lin Mei again.
The more she thought about the Ai family, the more nauseous she felt. She thought about finding time after the New Year to change her last name, without waiting for the bath center's formalities to be completed. At most, she would need to get more certificates, so it would be troublesome. Originally, she thought that once the bath center's formalities were completed, it would be easier to change it later, but the thought of the Ai family made her nauseous, so she decided to change it quickly and calm down.
She was lost in thought when Li Wensong and his family arrived.
They thought of inviting Li Wensong and Li Fuqiang, but they didn't expect that Li Wensong's stepmother Yuan Jing would also come with her youngest son Li Wenbai.
They also brought a lot of gifts. This was the first time Yuan Jing came to their house after marrying Li Fuqiang.
Li Shaofen and Lu Guojiu both came to the yard to welcome them.
After the children followed their elders to pay New Year's greetings, the group went into the house.
Ai Xiaoxia didn't believe that Yuan Jing was a person who came to see Li Shaofen sincerely. She must have some ulterior motives.
After sitting down, Li Fuqiang said to Li Shaofen sincerely, "Sister, are you feeling well?"
Li Shaofen rarely received her brother's concern, and nodded repeatedly: "It's fine, your brother-in-law is much better now."
Li Fuqiang smiled and said, "That's good, that's good. I heard from Wensong that you are doing business. How is your business going?"
Li Shaofen said, "Not bad. I plan to open my own dim sum factory next year. I've already bought the land."
Before Li Fuqiang could say anything, Yuan Jing exclaimed in surprise, "What? Sister, your family is going to open a factory?"
Li Shaofen nodded and said, "Yes, but we just bought the land, and it will take quite some time to build the factory in the spring."
Yuan Jing looked at Li Shaofen enviously: "Sister, you are really blessed. Look at how your family is getting better and better. Now that you have opened a factory, you will be the boss in the future. You can't ignore your brother. Fuqiang and I will come to help you. You just eat the meat and let us have the soup."
When Ai Xiaoxia heard what Yuan Jing said, she knew that this person must have come with a purpose, and now he was starting to show his true colors.
She didn't say anything, but looked at Li Shaofen first to see how she would handle it.
Now, under her guidance, Li Shaofen and Lu Guojiu are more rational and know the proper boundaries in their interactions with relatives. Especially when someone behaves abnormally, they will be on high alert.
As expected, Li Shaofen said to Yuan Jing, "Xiao Jing, we've just started the factory, and it's not that easy. Besides, this is a technical job, and not everyone can do it. Speaking of which, we two old guys are old, and it's our children who help us. How can we have the skills you say?"
Ai Xiaoxia was very satisfied with her mother-in-law's statement. She did not easily agree to other people's requests, which was a good thing.
How could Yuan Jing give up? She continued, "Sister, no matter how bad your life is, it's still much better than ours, isn't it? Look at our Wensong, he just started earning money and he went out to be an apprentice. This apprenticeship takes a year or two, right? Wenbo is about to go to school, and there's money everywhere. Your brother doesn't make much money either, so he just stays at home farming. Sister, now that you're rich, you can't control your brother anymore."
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Yuan Jing and smiled. "Aunt, your family is doing well, right? Look at your permed hair and those gold earrings and bracelets. They must have cost a lot of money, right? And although Wensong hasn't earned any money for you over the years, he's done a lot of housework. He must have done half of the work on your farm, right? Many children are in school when they were Wensong's age, and Wensong hasn't held you back at all. You two just need to support Wenbo. As long as you're not lazy, you can live a good life."
Yuan Jing disliked Ai Xiaoxia since she last saw her, because this girl was too smart and always hit the nail on the head. The last time they left, she spent three nights and used so many tricks on the kang to make Li Fuqiang obey her again.
She had heard what Li Wensong had said these days, and knowing that Li Shaofen and the others were doing well, she wanted to come and see if there was any benefit she could get.
In order to make Li Fuqiang obedient, she tried her best to make Li Fuqiang feel very comfortable in the bed. That's why she came here. Why did she expect that Ai Xiaoxia would come out to make things difficult for her again?
She couldn't afford to offend Ai Xiaoxia at this moment, so she could only say to her, "You are still young, and you don't know how precious family affection is. At your mother-in-law's age, brothers and sisters have to help each other."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and asked, "Aunt, when my dad was sick, why didn't you come to help us?"
Yuan Jing blushed, but she wasn't doing it for nothing. Looking at Li Fuqiang beside her, she began to wipe away her tears: "Fuqiang, you see, my sister and the others still misunderstood us. When we first started dating, you had nothing and my family didn't agree. If you hadn't behaved better at that time and bought me those jewelry, would my mother have been able to let me live with you? There were more than one or two people who came to my house to propose marriage before. How much have I suffered when I was with you?"
Li Fuqiang was afraid that his wife would cry. When Yuan Jing felt wronged, Li Fuqiang quickly went over to comfort her: "Jing, why are you crying? I know all your grievances. My sister and the others know too. My sister won't blame you."
Yuan Jing pulled Li Fuqiang's clothes, twisted her shoulders, and cried, "Fuqiang, don't blame me, I blame myself. If you didn't buy those jewelry to reassure your parents, you would still have some money. How great would it be if you gave that money to your brother-in-law? I regret it too. In fact, I should have given all the money to you."
