"Mom, is this okay?" The fourth child, Li Hong, was very honest and felt that this was not a good idea.

His mother Chen Xiaoying looked at him and said, "If you think you have more money and your life is easier than hers, then let her take advantage of you."

"Don't forget, she owns a house. What do you have?"

"You are still living in the single room upstairs. You have to come downstairs to use the toilet."

Li Hong suddenly came to his senses after hearing what his mother Chen Xiaoying said. Yes, compared to his second sister, he was the poorest one. When she got married, his mother gave her a house as a dowry.

"Not only that, I deposited her 30,000 yuan betrothal gift into a credit union for her. The interest is quite high every month, which is enough for her to eat and drink. So, since you are poorer than her, it is your turn to sympathize with her?"

Li Honggang immediately shook his head: "Mom, I understand. I won't give her buns tomorrow."

Chen Xiaoying nodded and said, "I know you are kind-hearted. If you have something, you are willing to share it with your brothers and sisters. However, the premise is that you live a good life before giving it to others, instead of blindly sacrificing yourself to fulfill others."

"That's why I don't let you lend money to your eldest sister. She has her own difficulties, but you are also living a hard life. You can't starve to death. Give her all the food, right? Look at the stupid things your third brother did. He said he would talk about Yu Jie's tuition in two days, but he didn't even hesitate to pay for Pengbo and Pengle's tuition. What kind of person is this?"

It’s hard to explain the big principles to the fourth child, but he will always understand if I use examples from people around him, right?

Li Honggang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, Mom, I understand."

In the future, you should live your own life well before helping others.

Li Honggang promised his mother Chen Xiaoying that he would not give the buns to his second sister Li Hongli for free.

But what about Li Hongli?

After returning to her husband's house with a dozen or so buns, she showed off to her mother-in-law Ma Xiufen: "Oh, I was going out to have some soy milk and fried dough sticks, and I happened to run into my fourth brother who was setting up a stall there, selling the buns that my mother made in the restaurant."

"My fourth brother asked me if I had eaten. I said no, so he insisted on filling so much for me and told me to go there every day from now on."

Ma Xiufen rolled her eyes. She didn't think her relative-in-law would be someone who could be taken advantage of. Look at how ferociously she beat people.

and.

"They are making money by selling buns there. If they give you so much at once, will you stop doing business?"

Ma Xiufen said this, stretching her neck to look.

Li Hongli took the buns out of her small bag and said, "I have four older brothers. They all love me. They paid for my tuition. My fourth brother said that if I want to eat some in the future, I can go anytime and take as much as I want."

Xu Cuicui, who was standing by, felt sour. She picked up the bun and took a bite. It was indeed delicious. In fact, she had bought buns from Chen Li Restaurant before. They were indeed delicious, but the price was generally one or two cents more than other places.

"Can we still eat it tomorrow?" she asked.

"Of course." Li Hongli would never want to lose face in front of her in-laws.

What she meant by these words was to tell them that she had four brothers in her mother's family and they all loved her and they should not try to bully her.

The more wealthy her parents' family is and the more brothers she has, the less likely the daughter-in-law will be bullied in her husband's family.

Ma Xiufen thought of her elder sister Li Hongyan, who was indeed a powerful person. She was exactly like her mother Chen Xiaoying, the type who dared to fight with others.

"snort."

She snorted, said nothing, and ate two big buns before putting her hand down.

"Since you can still get it tomorrow, let me take these three buns out to let your aunt try them. You can heat up the rest and have another meal in the evening." As she said that, she took a plate, put three buns on it, and took it away.

Aunt is the concubine of Xu Xiaodong's uncle who works for him.

His previous wife gave birth to three daughters in a row, and Xu Xiaodong's uncle divorced her a long time ago. His current concubine gave birth to a son within a year of marriage, and he loves the son very much.

Ma Xiufen currying favor with her younger sister-in-law is to get the eldest son Xu Dadong and the second son Xu Xiaodong to follow her brothers in the decoration business, learn skills, and make a lot of money.

Li Hongli was unhappy. She was just showing off. How could the mother-in-law really have the nerve to eat buns from her daughter-in-law's family every day?

That’s all I have to say.

Li Hongli didn't take it seriously, but she didn't expect that early the next morning, before she got out of bed, her mother-in-law Ma Xiufen started shouting at her from the window.

"Didn't you say you were going to get some buns? Why are you still sleeping there? Are you late? The big meat buns must have been sold out, right?"

Xu Cuicui was also shouting from another room: "Sister-in-law, please hurry up. I want mushroom and meat buns. Remember to bring me a few more."

Li Hongli, with her hair in a mess, climbed out of the quilt with a black face.

She gritted her teeth, grabbed the quilt and cursed in a low voice: "How shameless."

But she had to save face and had to go.

So, when Li Hong just set up the stall, he saw his second sister Li Hongli standing in front of him with a basin in her hand and a smile on her face.

"Fourth brother, you are busy, do you want me to help you?"

Li Hongli's belly is already swollen, and she is about six or seven months pregnant. He also heard that this pregnancy is quite dangerous and she needs to take good care of it and give birth to it safely. She can only have this one child in this life, so how dare he ask her for help.

"No, no, just stand away and don't let anyone touch you."

Li Hongli was just being polite. She didn't want to sell buns here. It was too embarrassing.

"Brother, then I'll get it myself." She said, and was about to take action.

Li Honggang was stunned for a moment before he realized what Li Hongli was here for, and he reached out to stop her.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Li Hongli looked at him puzzledly.

Li Honggang was too shy to even look at Li Hongli's eyes. He just stared at the ground and said, "Mom said I won't let you eat for free."

"What?" Li Hongli's eyes widened. She didn't expect her mother to be so cruel. She didn't care about her, and she didn't let her brothers care about her. "What is mom doing? I am not her child anymore. She doesn't even give me a bun to eat. What does she want?"

As she said this, she wanted to cry again.

Li Honggang felt a headache, why did she always cry in front of his stall: "If you don't believe it, go ask mom. Mom said that I can't give you this start, otherwise you will come every day."

Li Hongli started sobbing, but stopped crying immediately after hearing these words.

She did have this thought, and she hurriedly said, "It's just a few buns, how much can they be worth? Is she so stingy?"

"You are so generous, why don't you pay for it?" Li Honggang couldn't help but said, "These buns made by mom, the flour, pork and vermicelli, and those vegetables, all cost money. It's ok for you to eat them yourself, but you also gave them to others. They don't know how to be polite? I gave you more than ten yesterday, and you ate them all in one day?"

He is not stupid. When she took it back to her husband's house, she definitely didn't eat it alone.

I came to get it again today. Could it be that my in-laws don’t plan to make breakfast for me anymore?

Li Hongli felt ashamed: "If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Don't worry about me. If you see me on the street in the future, just pretend you don't know me and don't call me."

After saying that, she turned around and walked away angrily, wishing she could throw away the empty basin in her hand.
