But she didn't dare to say it, so she could only prevaricate: "Yes, elder sister, I know, but our mother is angry with me recently because of the things between me and the Xu family. If I ask this now, I will be asking for trouble. Wait a few days."

"Yes, I'll find a chance to ask her in two or three days. Even if she doesn't tell me, Xiaoyu should be back soon. Even if I have to pester Xiaoyu, I have to find out the truth about this matter for you."

Li Hongyan doesn't have anyone she can trust in her mother's family now. Her three younger brothers are all working in other places. Her eldest brother Li Hongwei treats her like an enemy, and her sisters-in-law are on guard against her like a thief. Only her second sister Li Hongli is willing to help her.

She could only believe it: "Okay, you must remember it."

Li Hongyan still had work to do in the fields, so she rode her bicycle away.

Li Hongli finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she put on a displeasure and went back home. Without even looking at her mother-in-law Ma Xiufen who was sweeping the floor, she turned and went into her room, lay down and went to sleep.

Ma Xiufen was furious. She couldn't blame Li Hongli, so she could blame God: "God is really blind. Xiaodong is such a good child, why is his life so miserable? It must be because of something. I will kill a rooster someday and see if there is anything dirty in the house."

"Oh my, why is the house such a mess? My old bones are about to fall apart."

As she spoke, she threw and moved the scrap metal, wood, tables and chairs in the yard, making a clanging sound.

I saw the leftover bowls from the morning still soaking in the bowl on the stove, and the sound of the bowls being washed made a loud clanging sound.

Li Hongli wanted to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep because of the noise. She didn't want to go out to do those chores, so she simply covered her ears with a pillow and continued to sleep.

If I had the ability, I would just smash all those bowls.

Ma Xiufen was reluctant to do so, so she cursed for a long time but nothing happened. She could only wash the dishes herself and put them back into the house.

In the evening, Xu Cuicui came back from a day of running around, rushing to prepare dinner. When she saw the food on the table, she was immediately unhappy: "Mom, we haven't eaten meat for many days. Go buy some."

"Why buy meat? Who will give me living expenses? How much money do I have in my pocket? I am taking out my savings to feed you, and you are still not satisfied? Do you want me to cut off my flesh for you to eat?" Ma Xiufen was scolding her daughter Xu Cuicui, but she glared at Li Hongli from time to time.

Li Hongli felt disgusted, but her mother-in-law was willing to cut off her meat. She even disliked that her meat was dirty and smelly and would definitely give her diarrhea if she ate it.

"Mom, stop talking. Can't I eat?" Xu Cuicui sat down.

The white rice porridge on the table was so greasy that you could see your reflection in it. There were so many rice grains that you couldn't even get out of the bottom of the bowl. There were two plates of food, one was stir-fried green peppers with pickles, and the other was stir-fried green peppers with tomatoes left over from the morning. They had turned black after being reheated, and they made you lose your appetite at first glance.

Li Hongli went to college in the past few years and ate in the cafeteria. The food was good. Later, she fell in love with Xu Xiaodong, and the little money they had was spent on food and dressing up. For more than three years, she had never eaten such bad food.

"Mom, I'm pregnant, can't you fry an egg for me?"

This is the most basic.

Even in her mother's generation, when she was pregnant, she had to eat an egg every now and then. Now that reform and opening up have long been implemented, most people can eat eggs as long as they work hard with their hands.

"Something is good to eat. If you think it's not good, then you can make it yourself." Ma Xiufen was waiting for Li Hongli to say this: "Hongli, didn't I say that when her daughter was pregnant, her mother came to visit her every now and then, bringing large and small packages of meat, eggs and snacks. Why didn't your mother buy any for you?"

"It would be fine if your family was poor, but your family is well off. Your mother has opened two restaurants, and your eldest niece has opened a hot pot restaurant. How can they be so indifferent to you?"

Ma Xiufen once thought that marrying Li Hongli would not be a loss, as her mother was rich and gave her a house as a gift. But now that she thinks about it, it was a huge loss.

The house is there and I can't eat or drink with it. The money in the passbook cannot be touched and I can only withdraw the interest every month to spend.

Li Hongli was unhappy with what her mother-in-law said. In her eyes, her mother was partial to her, but even if she was partial, she still gave her a house.

But you can give her a house, and also some clause to revoke the gift contract.

Li Hongli felt very aggrieved and kept silent with a sullen face.

Xu Cuicui was eager to see her in all the fun, and said to Ma Xiufen: "Mom, the Li family is just a marriage fraud. They said they would give my second brother a house, but in the end, his second brother's words don't count. Doesn't that mean there is nothing?"

"Who says it's not?" Ma Xiufen also said.

In front of Li Hongli, the mother and daughter spoke sarcastically to her mother Chen Xiaoying for a long time.

Li Hongli had a hard life, and her mother Chen Xiaoying had known about it for a long time. Li Hongli ran to her mother Chen Xiaoying every day.

This time, she actually learned her lesson. It didn't matter how much work she had to do. She just wanted to appear filial and well-behaved, and then get three meals a day in the restaurant.

Chen Xiaoying was very unhappy and tried to chase her away several times, but Li Hongli was thick-lidded and refused to leave.

"Mom, my mother-in-law doesn't cook well for me. Every day she cooks sauerkraut, pickles, tomatoes, and potatoes. There's nothing fancy about it. I'm tired of it and want to vomit."

"This is the in-law family you found yourself, so just bear with it and don't come to my shop to cause trouble."

Chen Xiaoying was not willing to let her second daughter get involved in the ungrateful behavior she had in her previous life. "Go back. I'm a businessman here, and there are many people coming and going. If I bump into you, and anything happens, you'll have to blackmail me."

"Mom, I'm that kind of person." Li Hongli said unhappily.

Chen Xiaoying stared at her coldly: "You are."

In her previous life, she even beat her own daughter Xiaoni as if she were an enemy. When this mother was sick, she hid in the corner of the ward, covering her nose. It was her eldest daughter-in-law Liu Lanxiang who helped her wash, and her eldest daughter Li Hongyan who occasionally helped out when she was around.

This is why she hasn't done anything extreme to Li Hongyan yet.

Although the eldest daughter, Li Hongyan, took advantage of her mother's family and was always noisy and had nothing nice to say, when it was her turn to work, she exaggerated how much effort she had put in, and at least she did some work with her hands.

Unlike Li Hongli, she is a complete jerk. She doesn't contribute money or effort, and she even finds fault with other brothers and sisters who are not good enough.

"Mom, please let me stay for dinner. I'm really hungry." Li Hongli began to pretend to wipe away her tears.

If it were any mother, she would definitely agree if her daughter just asked for a meal, especially since her mother runs a restaurant.

As a result, Chen Xiaoying was merciless: "Hurry up and leave. I gave you a house and I don't owe you anything. If you want to think about these things again, just return the house to me first."

When Li Hongli heard this, she was speechless and stamped her feet angrily: "Mom, if you treat me like this, don't blame me for not being filial to you when you are old."
