Chapter 30: Face is earned by oneself
Qin Fangci walked out of the house with three cents in her pocket and immediately saw Du Shi who was secretly looking at her. Her hesitant look as if she wanted to say something was very uncomfortable.
"Old family, take Yulan to make dinner. Let's eat early today."
"Mother, I'll do it right away." Mrs. Du breathed a sigh of relief, and she felt lighter. Her thoughts were revealed clearly. She wanted to ask Qin Fangci if she wanted to eat, but she didn't dare to.
Qin Fangci sighed in her heart. The chaos of this era was beyond her imagination. Who would have thought that those people would draw their knives, kidnap people and rob them of their money after being exposed? Without sufficient skills and power, people would only become prey.
Qin Fangci silently drew two red circles in her heart: study and family.
A single chopstick is easy to break, but what about a bunch of chopsticks?
She wants to be the chopstick in the middle.
Li Laoer squatted pitifully beside the ox cart, and the two baskets in front and behind him silently gave him a sense of security.
Finally seeing Qin Fangci's figure, Li Laoer stood up excitedly and almost burst into tears.
His mother didn't know how scared he was just now.
Qin Fangci paid the taxi fare and took the person away smoothly.
Li Lao Er followed Qin Fangci obediently, wanting to speak several times but stopping himself, finally mustering up the courage, "Mom, can I discuss this with you?"
"What to discuss?" Qin Fangci had a blank expression on her face, and her eyes clearly said, "What qualifications do you think you have to make demands?"
Li Laoer felt guilty, but he still had to say what he had to say. "Mom, this is what happened today. Can you please not tell my family?"
His last face.
"Second Brother," Qin Fangci slowed down and walked side by side with Li Laoer, "Respect is earned by yourself, not given by others."
Li Laoer's hopes were dashed. "Mom, can't you give me a little?"
"No! I'm giving you face, but who's giving me face? The disguise will eventually fall off, and the children will grow up. With your lesson here, I believe our children will learn from their mistakes. Second son, mother has always treated you well, right? You have three taels of silver!"
Li Laoer stopped talking for a moment.
I feel guilty and heartbroken!
And Qin Fangci would only make him more heartbroken!
As soon as the meal at home is cooked, the children come back to pick wild vegetables, just to smell the scent and follow the steps.
"Grandma, uncle, you are back? Did our family make a lot of money? Where is my dad?" Dadan asked repeatedly.
"Your father has gone to chop wood." Qin Fangci smiled and touched the children's heads one by one. "Put down the wild vegetables. Dadan and Erdan, go to the fields to call your mother. Your uncle, your third uncle, and your aunt are back."
Erdan sensed something unusual in his grandmother's words. He turned his little head for a moment and didn't understand. Chopping wood was always done by his uncle in the past, so why was it his father's turn today?
As usual, when his father came back from earning money, he would not only have to work but also have to be served with good food and drink by his grandmother.
"Grandma, what's wrong with my dad?" Erdan asked quietly.
Qin Fangci patted Erdan'er's shoulder and said, "Your father is fine! Go quickly. Come back soon."
"Little brother, stop asking and let's go. I can smell the meat." Dadan urged, and pulled Erdan and rushed out quickly.
Can grandma really eat dad?
Li Laoer felt that he was about to be eaten. The more lively the front yard was, the more panicked he became. This was not the worst. He felt that he was injured and had serious internal injuries.
He felt pain all over his body, but there was no visible scar.
I said that this is the method used by those people, and their purpose is just to tell them that crushing them to death is as easy as crushing an ant.
The Li family courtyard became more lively with the return of Boss Li and his companions.
Boss Li asked loudly how the business was going.
Yuan hurriedly went to the backyard to look for the man.
When he looked closely, it was just as Erdan said. His man was chopping firewood hard and painfully... The sky was about to fall!
"Boss, boss, what's wrong with you?"
Before Li Lao Er had time to talk to his wife, Li Bosong came over and said gently, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, mother called me to eat."
Li Lao Er could only hold back the words that were on the tip of his tongue and replied with a droopy head, "I'm coming."
Then he thought again, his mother asked him to eat, so she shouldn’t be that angry.
He lost his own three taels of silver, and his mother had more than five hundred copper coins. Compared with five or ten taels, this amount of money seemed nothing.
As it turned out, Li Laoer was overthinking it.
Li Lao Er was about to sit down when Qin Fangci coldly ordered, "Lao Er, serve the rice."
Yuan glared and quickly stood up, "Mom, let me do it. It's not right to let a man serve the food."
"Husband and wife are one. Okay, you go too. You two can serve the meal together."
"Ah, ah?" Yuan started to panic for no reason and looked at her husband secretly. Li Laoer glared at her reproachfully.
Why are you joining in the fun?
He might not be able to eat tonight, and he was still counting on Yuan to leave a bite for him.
Now they can only hope that those two brats will think about them a little.
Dadan's eyes were shining brightly. His parents would definitely give him more rice so that he could eat more tonight.
Erdan was a little worried, but not much.
Boss Li secretly glanced at Mrs. Du several times. Mrs. Du lowered her head and pretended not to see anything. She didn't know what was going on. She was cooking in the kitchen and didn't see when her second uncle came back.
Li Yulan was also a member of the cooking team. She didn't see Li Laoer's sloppy appearance, but she intuitively felt that something was wrong today and it was related to her second brother. She kept secretly winking at Li Baisong, wondering if her second brother had done something.
Li Baisong blinked his eyes, and Li Yulan became very excited. There was going to be a good show.
Her second brother and his wife were the ones who disrespected her the most in the family. She was very happy when they were in trouble.
Li Laosan was a little worried while holding his daughter, but he was more concerned about the dendrobium plant on the cliff that was still swaying in the wind.
It seems that my mother has sold the Dendrobium. I wonder how much one plant can be sold for?
If it's valuable, he'll have to find a way to dig that one up tomorrow.
Wang held her youngest son in her arms, lowered her head, and wondered what she was thinking.
There were no separate tables for dinner today. Big and small tables were put together to form a long table.
Li Laoer and his wife passed the bowl to each person and served rice. Under the various gazes of the crowd, they served rice to everyone.
Just as Yuan was about to serve herself, Qin Fangci spoke again, "I didn't want to give you any food, but if you're too hungry you can't work, so just have half a bowl each."
Yuan turned her head to look at the man, her eyes silently asking, "What did you do to piss off your mother?"
Li Laoer breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was still food to eat.
They each filled half a bowl of porridge, and Qin Fangci's voice rang out again, "Eat outside the door."
Yuan couldn't help it. She had worked all day, how could they treat her like this?! Is there any justice in the world?
