After hearing what her fourth sister-in-law Yang Xiaohui said, Li Hongli couldn't help but feel suspicious.

She thought about her mother-in-law's various behaviors since Xu Dadong was arrested, and suddenly she shuddered. She grabbed Yang Xiaohui's hand and said in disbelief, "How can mothers be so cruel nowadays?"

It seems that she also realized that her mother-in-law Ma Xiufen had money in her pocket, but she just didn't take it out. She just forced her son Xu Xiaodong for money. When Xiaodong refused to give it, she kept asking her for more.

"The son is hers. If something happens, you will have to pay for it alone. You are not the one who gets sucked in. You should talk to her," said Yang Xiaohui.

These two are both counting on the little money that the older generation has.

The servants next door, whether they were serving the daughter-in-law or the daughter, were all from the same generation as Chen Xiaoying and Ma Xiufen. When they heard this, they all felt uncomfortable.

After working hard to raise sons and marry them off, one day he or she would have to cheat them out of the little money they had saved from their teeth to pay for their funerals. Who wouldn't feel sad?

People’s hearts are hidden, so why did Ma Xiufen and Gao Huaihua hold on to the money and refuse to give it up until the last moment?

Needless to say, it is because sons like Xu Dadong and Yang Jiangang make mothers feel that they may be helpless when they are old, so they make plans early. Otherwise, it is not uncommon for the unfilial descendants in the countryside to drive their mothers into a broken cave and only give them one bowl of rice a day.

"Okay, I understand." Li Hongli made up her mind that if her mother-in-law didn't pay, then she wouldn't pay either.

She just didn't believe that Xu Dadong would dare to beat her to death. What if Xu Dadong didn't even want to fight her?

When Yang Xiaohui returned home, she told her husband Li Honggang about Li Hongli's situation. Li Honggang also frowned and said, "I shouldn't have married into this family in the first place."

When he was working in the lumber mill, he and his second and third brothers collected the tuition for his second sister Li Hongli. And it was not just tuition, but also daily living expenses, material fees, training fees and other expenses.

Although the burden is heavy.

But the brothers all thought, how could they go to school if they didn't go? Their two younger sisters were admitted to university and were educated people. They hoped that if they succeeded in their studies, the Li family would have an educated person and the villagers would look up to them.

As a result, the younger sister Li Hongxia was fine and she studied hard.

The second sister, Li Hongli, did not study hard and hung out with Xu Xiaodong, who worked in decoration outside the school. She actually had an abortion. She went to a small clinic by herself and did it without even realizing that she was hurt.

Then she got pregnant with her second child and wanted to have an abortion, but not only would it be dangerous for her body, but she would also not be able to have children in the future. But then, since he was a good man and knew that they had to go through the marriage process, she decided to get married quickly, otherwise both families would be embarrassed.

No matter what the Xu family said, they refused to admit it.

People don't admit it.

Li Hongli cried her heart out and insisted on marrying Xu Xiaodong. If anyone didn't let her marry, she would rather die.

In order to get her to marry into the Xu family, her mother even gave her a house.

What did the Xu family give her? Her husband went out to work, as if he didn't exist, her uncle didn't work properly, her mother-in-law was mean...

The more Li Honggang thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She knew that her daughter Li Yumeng must never marry into a family like this when she grew up.

"Don't worry about her. Let her be." He said, "My mother also said she doesn't care about her."

The main reason is that it’s too annoying and I can’t control it.

Yang Xiaohui hoped that there would be less trouble: "You are right, Hongli is already in her twenties, she is not a child anymore, she can handle her own affairs."

The fourth brother, Li Honggang, actually doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs. When his three brothers were in trouble, they didn't ask and he didn't take the initiative to offer help.

Chen Xiaoying never paid any attention to Xu Dadong's affairs again.

When they found out, they found out that Xu Xiaodong had been released. The fourth son's wife Yang Xiaohui told her: "He and her mother-in-law each paid half of the money."

Chen Xiaoying said coldly: "Don't worry about it, she can do whatever she wants."

Yang Xiaohui is also working in the store now. Chen Xiaoying transferred the employees in the store whose homes are closer to the new store to work in the new store. Now many local young people are going to other places to work and the train station has a particularly large flow of people, so a few more employees were recruited as they are short of staff.

Chen Xiaoying's steamed bun business was doing very well, so Li Yutong suddenly had a holiday.

Give these senior high school students a day off before the college entrance examination to have a rest.

Chen Xiaoying was even more nervous than Li Yutong. In her previous life, she had heard her granddaughter talk about the importance of getting into a good university.

Li Yutong didn't let her intervene: "Grandma, I've tried my best, just let it go, you don't have to mind my business, really."

Her parents have been busy since she was a child. In order to earn more money, they contracted a lot of land. While other families had four or five acres of land, her family had only more than ten acres. They worked very hard, especially when harvesting wheat. It was too hot during the day, so her father Li Hongwei had to take her and her mother to the fields in the middle of the night to harvest wheat.

When I walked back, I felt tired and sleepy. My body didn't feel like my own and my feet felt like they were stepping on soft cotton.

Uneducated parents in rural areas do not quite understand the importance of learning. They only know that once they send their children to school, how much skills they can learn depends entirely on the children themselves.

The children don’t understand either. In school, only a very small number of children who have learning talent and are naturally sensible and love to study will be valued by the teachers. Generally, children who do not have the awareness of learning will just get by, and the teachers will not take them seriously.

In the end, the child was confused on the road of learning. It was after Li Yutong graduated from university that she realized that ordinary undergraduate graduates without any special skills could not find suitable jobs in a society where work experience was required for everything, especially since what they learned in university were all from books.

This is probably what it means to be unemployed upon graduation. What you learn from books and what employers in society need are simply not connected. When you enter society, it is like a blank sheet of paper and you have to start from scratch.

Li Yutong is used to being independent. The experience she gained in her previous life has been reborn and she can use it in this life.

Otherwise, her parents who work in the countryside would not be able to give her any advice because they have never been through this river and do not know how deep it is.

The eldest granddaughter always made her worry-free like this, so Chen Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, then you can do it yourself. If you need anything, just tell grandma."

Li Yutong nodded and was about to go to bed when she suddenly remembered something: "Grandma, if we can freeze our buns and dumplings and sell them, we can create a brand and earn some money. Why don't we go ask Secretary He when we have time?"

She had this idea a long time ago, but in the early 1990s, the frozen food industry chain did not develop due to transportation problems. The cost of doing this was too high, so she did not say it at that time.

But now it was the mid-to-late 1990s, and a kind of frozen dumplings had already appeared in the provincial capital, so they could try it.

Chen Xiaoying was stunned for a moment: "Is it possible?"
