Chen Xiaoying was sweating profusely while working, but after her second daughter Li Hongli scolded her, she slept even more soundly.
At seven o'clock, the alarm clock woke Li Yutong up, and she went to wake Li Yujie up.
Help her braid her hair.
Li Yujie asked: "I heard my second aunt cursing last night. Who was she cursing? Was she cursing us?"
In the mind of elementary school student Li Yujie, her grandmother is the elder, so she cannot scold her second aunt. Her mother is the sister-in-law, so she cannot scold her second aunt either. Then she must scold the younger generation, who are her nieces.
Li Yutong smiled and told the truth: "She was scolding our grandma. She complained that our grandma asked her to work, but she didn't want to work. She just wanted to sleep."
"Ah? If you just want to sleep, where will the money come from? Won't you have no money to spend?" Li Yujie said naively.
Li Yutong smiled.
At this time, the door of one of the secondary bedrooms was opened with a swish, and Li Hongli stood there with a sullen face, saying angrily: "Li Yutong, how can you talk like that? When did I ever call you a grandma?"
"You still dare to say bad things about me, are you asking for a beating?"
Li Hongli had just woken up and hadn't combed her hair. Her curly hair, which had been specially permed, was now messy, making her look fierce and funny.
Li Yutong was not afraid at all. She gave her a cold look and said, "If you want to beat me like you did when I was a kid, just try it. Not only will I resist, I will also tell my dad."
Li Hongli hesitated for a moment.
Li Yutong's father, her eldest brother Li Hongwei, has a bad temper, but he is very good to his younger brothers and sisters.
When they were young, they all loved being beaten by their father Li Pingwang. He would not hold back when he beat them. Their eldest brother would protect them and even resist and yell at him when he pushed them to the limit.
The eldest brother Li Hongwei listens to and protects them, but he also likes to control them. When someone disobeys, he will stand up and point at the person's nose and scold them. He feels more terrifying than their father.
"Forget it, I'll let you go this time. If I hear you say bad things about me again, I'll slap you in the face."
She warned fiercely, turned and went into the house, slamming the door behind her.
Li Yujie was terrified: "Sister, Second Aunt is going to beat you."
"She doesn't dare." Li Yutong didn't care. The reason why she was so cold towards her second aunt Li Hongli was because Li Hongli had an extremely bad attitude towards her biological mother, her grandmother Chen Xiaoying, even worse than her eldest aunt Li Hongyan.
The eldest aunt Li Hongyan was good at pretending. No matter whether she bought sesame cakes or clothes and shoes for her grandmother, at least she gave them the money and said nice things. But the second aunt Li Hongli, from beginning to end, her grandmother never even saw a needle or thread.
I always compare myself with my aunt Li Hongyan. You give her too much and me too little. You are biased.
She told Li Yujie the truth bluntly because she wanted her to grow up earlier and see a person's true face, so as not to be easily deceived by Tony's little follower in the barber shop and elope with him.
Li Yutong rode a bicycle with Li Yujie and took her to school.
During the summer vacation, the school also has remedial classes.
Li Yuhan did not go to school and went back to the village. Because she was a good student, Li Yutong did not pay much attention to her studies.
Li Yujie went to the breakfast shop to find her grandmother.
Her grandmother Chen Xiaoying said, "You help here. I have something to ask your second aunt."
The hot pot restaurant didn't have any people until after 10 o'clock. Li Yutong happened to be free in the morning, so she reminded her grandmother: "Grandma, Second Aunt is very open-minded, young and strong. If there is anything, don't force her to reason with her. Don't make things clear, or she will make you fall flat on your face."
In the previous life, there was an incident when Li Hongli didn't really take action, but she was in a hurry to catch up with Xu Xiaodong, so she pushed Chen Xiaoying who was trying to pull her up.
Her grandmother Chen Xiaoying fell down and was unable to get up for a long time.
Li Hongli didn't even look back and ran after Xu Xiaodong, losing her shoes.
"I know." Chen Xiaoying was also reborn and knew the nature of her second daughter.
When Chen Xiaoying got home, she saw Li Hongli sitting on the sofa, bored. When she saw her come back, she said, "Mom, I'm almost starving. Hurry up and cook for me."
Chen Xiaoying gave her a cold look.
It was as if the person who scolded her in the morning was not her. How could she have the nerve to ask her to cook for her?
"Don't you have hands? There are all kinds of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice and noodles in the kitchen. Why don't you cook it yourself?"
In her previous life, when she lived with Xu Xiaodong, she was the one who fried eggs for Xu Xiaodong, cooked eight-treasure rice, made soup, and washed his stinky socks like a crazy dog. When she talked about it, she not only didn't feel ashamed, but she felt very honored and was proud to serve a man.
As a mother, she didn't even get to eat a single bite.
"Then why didn't you bring me two buns? Don't you sell buns?" Li Hongli said.
Chen Xiaoying was too lazy to say anything about her heartless daughter.
"Come on, follow me to the clinic. I heard that some tests require an empty stomach to give accurate results."
Li Hongli didn't want to go, and twisted her body: "Mom, I don't want to go, forget it."
"What if she's pregnant? What will you do?" said her mother Chen Xiaoying.
"Impossible." Li Hongli thought it was impossible: "We both have protective measures."
Chen Xiaoying gritted her teeth. Conservation measures? How could she have gotten pregnant in her previous life if she had taken protective measures?
Because she was pregnant, the Xu family played dumb and kept silent. When Li Hongli went to ask about it, they replied: I thought you had broken up with Xiaodong a long time ago, who knows whose child you are pregnant with.
After visiting the eldest son Li Hongwei and the second son Li Hongjian, they did agree to the marriage, but said: Our family is in such a financial situation. We have no money to buy a house and no money to give a dowry. If your sister wants to marry, she can marry. If she doesn't want to, we won't force her.
Xu Xiaodong was even more shameless: She was willing to date, I didn't force her. We are both adults. If something like this happens, she should take half the responsibility. I haven't even calculated how much money she spent on me when we were dating, and have I ever asked her to pay me back?
The Li family has no way of expressing their suffering.
Li Hongli has no self-respect and followed this man willingly. Now that he wants to dump her, she doesn't dare to go to his house to ask for an explanation. She just stays in her parents' house and makes a fuss, making it impossible for her parents' family to live a peaceful life.
"I still say the same thing. If you don't listen to me, you should do the same as your elder sister and sever the mother-daughter relationship with me. Then I won't have to care about you anymore."
Hearing her mother's harsh words, Li Hongli was very dissatisfied: "Isn't it just yelling at you in the morning? If you hadn't insisted on waking me up in the morning, why would I yell at you?"
"It's not like my third sister-in-law can't do the job, but you insist on asking me to do it, Mom, are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
She is so selfish that even her eldest daughter Li Hongyan feels ashamed of herself.
"I'm picking on you? You said, I worked so hard to raise you, why don't you feel sorry for me? The breakfast shop is so busy, your sister-in-law is working, that's your sister-in-law's job, you, your daughter, are helping me with the work, it means you feel sorry for me and want to help me share some of the burden?"
"I didn't give birth to your sister-in-law or raise her. Only my own mother deserves this treatment. You are my daughter, and you should be the one who loves me and shares my hard work."
Chen Xiaoying suppressed her temper and tried hard to explain the situation to her second daughter, Li Hongli.
Li Hongli smiled and came over with a playful look: "Mom, then I will share the burden for you. How much money will you give me?"
