"Mom, I told you, I have no money, no money! Do you want to force me to death?" Li Hongyan felt aggrieved, her eyes were swollen from crying.

Chen Xiaoying was exhausted by her repetitive words, but she couldn't beat this scabby girl.

"See, maybe she just has no money because she spent all your money."

Apart from this reason, she couldn't understand why Li Hongyan, who was so strong-willed and proud, still wanted to pay it back after she had pushed her to this point.

Li Hongjian felt that this scene was really ugly, and said, "Forget it, the flowers are spent, I don't want them anymore."

Chen Xiaoying almost choked up: "I'll beat you to death."

As he said that, he slapped Li Hongjian on the back several times: "You have money, but you don't ask people to pay you back even though you have money. Then pay me back the money I gave you to repair the house."

Li Hongjian was thick-skinned and hard-core, and Chen Xiaoying, who was old as a mother, could not hurt him by beating him: "It was you who wanted to repair the house for me."

Li Hongyan now found an opportunity to stir up trouble: "Mom, you are old, what do you know? You always meddle in the affairs of us young people."

Chen Xiaoying yelled, "Shut up, this is none of your business." She then pressed Li Hongjian, "It cost me 1,200 yuan to renovate the house, give me back the money."

She acted as if she would never let Li Hongjian go unless he returned the money.

Li Hongjian was anxious: "Mom, where do I get the money?"

"Then I won't care." Chen Xiaoying sat down and began to imitate Li Hongyan's attitude and act like a spoiled brat: "You decide."

Li Hongyan was disappointed. Zhao Pengfei was still young, but he had heard his parents talk before and knew that his mother did keep the money of several uncles, so he said, "Mom, forget it, just give the money to my second uncle."

Unfortunately, Li Hongyan was the head of the family and immediately flew into a rage: "Zhao Pengfei, what nonsense are you talking about? You don't have to point fingers at my business. Get out of here."

Zhao Pengfei was very angry: "Just leave."

Zhao Pengfei is gone, the stupid teammate is gone, and Li Hongyan still wants to cheat.

Chen Xiaoying was firm: "I just want my 1,200 yuan."

Li Hongjian had no way to deal with his mother. Now the money had turned into tiles and the workers' wages. The house had probably been repaired. Even if he didn't want to repair the house anymore, it was too late.

"Sister, what should we do?" He habitually asked Li Hongyan for her opinion.

Li Hongyan is a capable person with a lot of ideas. Among the brothers, except for the eldest brother Li Hongwei who is selfish and does not listen to her orders, the other three are willing to follow her command.

Now, Li Hongjian habitually asks for her opinion.

Li Hongyan was so angry that her heart ached: "Okay, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you."

Li Hongjian was dumbfounded. He was really going to come back.

Because it was not far from the county town, Chen Xiaoying took Li Hongjian and asked Zhao Faliang to drive a tricycle to the credit union to withdraw the money, and Chen Xiaoying took a look.

She remembered that when she came, her eldest granddaughter Li Yutong asked her to bring her household registration booklet, and immediately opened a passbook for her and deposited the money in her name.

Li Hongyan looked at her mother's actions and her face turned pale with anger.

When did her mother become such a cunning person?

Twelve hundred dollars, just gone! Gone!

After Li Hongyan returned home, she covered her face and cried loudly, as if a piece of meat was cut off from her heart. She hated her mother Chen Xiaoying so much.

The house built by Li Hong was repaired, and Chen Xiaoying also asked craftsmen to build cabinets for the kitchen. There was a chopping board on the top and cabinets for bowls, dishes and food on the bottom.

Not only is it clean, but there is also more space to put things.

Liu Lanxiang and Wang Xiaoqin both found it interesting. Once the cabinet was locked, mice couldn't get in. There was basically nothing on the chopping board, so it looked a lot tidier.

Wang Xiaoqin and her mother both felt that they could continue to live like this.

Especially Chen Xiaoying, the mother-in-law, who gave him a bag of noodles, half a bag of rice, and fifty yuan: "If you need anything, come to me. I will ask Hong Jian for it. If he doesn't give it to me, I will punish him."

"I know, Mom." Wang Xiaoqin even cried when she called Chen Xiaoying "Mom". She really treated Chen Xiaoying as her mother.

Chen Xiaoying recalled the ending of her previous life. Her mother was anxiously waiting for treatment and was lying in the county health center. Li Hongjian said with a stern face, "I have no money. Please wait until her mother is buried." Not long after, Wang Xiaoqin passed away.

Li Hongjian is playing tricks. All he's thinking is that now that the baby is born, what else can you do if you don't live here?

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoqin was so desperate that she didn't want the baby anymore and left.

Chen Xiaoying wiped away her tears and said to her mother-in-law, "You should live here peacefully. It's boring to go back alone."

The mother-in-law was very touched: "Okay, okay, as long as you don't mind me being an old bone and useless, that's fine."

"Don't despise me, don't despise me, I'm an old man too." Chen Xiaoying said with a smile.

The matter of the second brother's family was settled, and Chen Xiaoying felt relieved.

She turned around and started discussing with Li Yutong.

"…Then the housing prices went up so much that the money we made from selling sesame cakes alone could not keep up with the increase in housing prices."

By the time your grandchildren grow up, a 100-square-meter house will cost at least 400,000 yuan. At that time, families who marry off their daughters generally require that the man must have a house, even if you have to borrow it.

Later on, having a house was not enough, they also demanded a car.

Just think about it, Chen Xiaoying is so anxious, the current house only costs more than 40,000 yuan to buy a new building.

Li Yutong was also thinking about the collective housing buildings in the 1990s in her memory.

Compared to the bright and spacious elevator apartments that were built later, with three bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, a reasonable layout and plenty of light, most of the houses nowadays are decorated in the style of yellow wooden boards and have a poor layout.

Because television was not yet common, living rooms were small, and some people used the living room as a dining room, leaving the bedroom large.

If you don't take full advantage of the light, it will appear very dark.

"Now you can buy a new house for more than 40,000 yuan." She also thought about buying more houses, so that in the future she would not have to do anything else and could live comfortably just by collecting rent.

"Xiaoyu, what should we do?" Chen Xiaoying asked.

Li Yutong looked at her small arms and legs and could only say, "Grandma, how about selling the egg-filled pancakes first?"

After the kneaded dough is ready, when customers come, take out a piece, tear it apart and flatten it, put it on the hot iron plate to let it expand, make a hole in it, pour in golden egg liquid, turn it over when it solidifies a little, and it will be cooked soon. But this cannot be sold for more than 20 cents because it has added eggs.

"Grandma, it would be nice if we had a tricycle so we could go to the market everywhere."

"That is, in terms of consumption level, rural workers are generally not as good as urban workers. Most people are reluctant to spend money. There are still more wealthy people in the city."

"But if you use a tricycle, there will be an additional expense, the gas money."

The grandparents and grandchildren calculated for a long time.

Chen Xiaoying came up with an idea: "Your great aunt lives in the county town. I'll go find her there later and ask your uncles to help see if there are any cheap houses in the county town. Let's try to open a breakfast shop now?"

Li Yutong thought about it and said, "That's fine."

However, in her previous life, she had little contact with this aunt. These uncles and aunts were only for weddings and funerals. They would only meet when they came to the village for such important events. They would just call each other once and that was it.

Not familiar, really not familiar.

"Grandma, I'll go with you and see if there's a suitable place."

"Okay." Chen Xiaoying naturally agreed. She was not familiar with the county town and didn't know where to rent a house to make money, but her granddaughter Li Yutong was a person who had done successful things in the county town.

He kept his word and asked for a day off for Li Yutong the next day, planning to take her to the county town.

Li Hongwei, who drove the borrowed tricycle over, frowned when he saw Li Yutong: "She's still in school, why are you taking her there?"
