Although Li Hongyan is a rural woman, she is exposed to more information than ordinary rural women because she is smart and eloquent.

She was not stupid. She thought about the question in her mind after she asked it.

She felt that maybe one day, something like this would really happen: "Hongli, I think Xu Xiaodong is unreliable. Think about it yourself, why did our mother insist on taking the house back? Because his family treats you badly, and Xu Xiaodong has already found a woman outside. Doesn't this mean that he wants to kick you out?"

"Before he kicked you out and divorced you, did he want to get that house? His family was poor to begin with, and with such a big piece of fat meat lying there, how could they not be thinking about it?"

"Think about the time you made a fuss about wanting to be discharged from the hospital. Was it your mother-in-law who instigated you to do so? Was she hoping that something would happen to you so that she could make way for her future daughter-in-law?"

Li Hongyan herself has evil intentions, and when she analyzes the psychology of Ma Xiufen and Xu Xiaodong, the mother and son who also have evil intentions, her guesses are always correct.

Unexpectedly, after her earnest words, Li Hongli still felt a little dreamy: "No way, I think Xiaodong still has feelings for me, he won't do such a ruthless thing."

Li Hongyan was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. She stood up and left immediately: "Mom, you are right. I have work to do at home. I work so hard to grow that little land, and the harvest is so little every year. Pengfei has grown up, and I can't even get enough money for the bride price to marry a wife. Why should I worry about the affairs of a city person like you?"

She felt that she was really bored.

"Sister, sister?" Li Hongli shouted anxiously.

Li Hongyan didn't even look back. This girl was hopeless. The more she listened to her nonsense, the angrier she became.

No matter how much she said, Li Hongli still held Xu Xiaodong, the dung beetle, as if she was holding a nugget of gold.

Her elder sister was also angry and ran away. Li Hongli felt confused. Is Xiaodong really that bad?

Is it really right to let her mother keep the house for her?

After Li Hongyan came out of the health center, she thought about it and went to find Chen Xiaoying.

As soon as Chen Xiaoying saw Li Hongyan, she knew without a second thought why she came.

"You're here for a house, too?"

Li Hongyan said to her mother a little embarrassedly: "Mom, you know my difficulties. Pengfei is old and there is no sign of a wife. It's all because my family is poor."

"Mom, this house is empty anyway, why not just lend it to Pengfei to get married? When they buy their own house in the future, let them move out."

Chen Xiaoying put down the newspaper she was reading and stared at Li Hongyan: "How can you make such shameless words sound as simple as eating?"

"The house is worth fifty or sixty thousand now. You said you would lend it to me, so I'll lend it to you? Are you still playing tricks on me? What do you mean, wait until they sell their own house and then move out?"

"Tell me the exact time yourself. In which year will your Pengfei be able to buy a house and move out?"

"Mom!" Li Hongyan frowned: "Don't you hope that Pengfei gets better? He is your grandson."

"Of course I hope he gets better. Did he hope for himself to get better back then? Does he want to make progress himself?" Chen Xiaoying stared at her coldly: "If you want a house, go and earn it yourself. I bought the house with my own hard-earned money. How I want to arrange it is my own business. You have no right to ask me for it."

Li Hongyan was so embarrassed by her mother Chen Xiaoying's scolding that she could only leave angrily.

Just before leaving the house, he saw the second brother Li Hongjian coming over.

She immediately called the second son, Li Hongjian, aside and said, "Second son, now that I've made some money, I'm becoming less and less humane. Isn't Hongli's house going to be returned? I said I'd let Pengfei use it temporarily and find him a wife, and I'd return it later. But mom didn't want to. Tell me, what does mom want to do? I'm her daughter, why does she treat me like a thief?"

The second brother, Li Hongjian, had an embarrassed look on his face. He didn't say anything, but ever since he came to his senses, he felt more and more that his eldest sister was a big liar. She said nice things but did nothing to show for it.

Her words about borrowing the house are exactly the same as when she borrowed money from them before?

Have you paid back the money?

No.

"Sister, what is Pengfei doing now?" The second child, Li Hongjian, has worked in the city for so long that he knows a little about the housing market: "If he has a stable job, we can pool our money together to give him a down payment and let him pay the mortgage every month. Then he will have a house, right?"

"Oh, why are you saying such stupid things? Which girl has to pay back the money to her husband's family after she gets married? It's not like we don't have a ready-made house." Li Hongyan calculated: "Just let Pengfei live in it. The house is a dead thing and he can't steal it. Mom is just too heartless to our Pengfei."

Thinking about it, she felt wronged.

But Li Hongjian remembered that Zhao Pengfei had cheated his mother Chen Xiaoying of 3,000 yuan: "Sister, have you forgotten that Pengfei cheated our mother of her money? Now he has not apologized to our mother and we have not seen him anywhere."

Ultimately, it's a loss of trust.

"Who knows what he has been doing? He is grown up now and nothing I say has any effect." Li Hongyan was full of complaints about her eldest daughter.

Li Hongjian was completely speechless.

His mother was cruel to his eldest sister, but not to the children she gave birth to. Pengbo and Pengle helped Xiaoyu in her hot pot restaurant.

Student workers were paid the same salary as regular workers. He had heard from his mother that if they still couldn't raise the tuition by the time school started, she would secretly add it to both of their salaries.

As a grandmother, she helps her grandson as much as she can.

Zhao Pengfei had evil intentions and had hurt her feelings, but she didn't care. However, eldest sister Li Hongyan didn't care whether Pengfei was right or not, and only blamed their mother for being too cruel.

"Sister, I think the Xu family might still bother with this house. Even if Pengfei moves in, he probably won't feel at ease. Besides, the house has just been renovated and it smells very strong. They said that you have to wait at least half a year for the smell to dissipate before you can move in, otherwise you will get sick." Li Hongjian said to his sister in a kind voice.

Li Hongyan thought about it and could only sigh: "Forget it then."

What a pity.

Thinking this in her heart, she looked over again and said, "Second brother, I have wanted to talk to you about something for a long time. I haven't collected enough money for Pengbo and Pengle's tuition for the new semester. How much money do you have? Please lend it to me first. I will return the money to you after I sell the corn in the fall."

Li Hongjian was speechless: "Sister, how much money have you borrowed from me over the past ten years? You have never paid it back."

Li Hongyan almost cried, she felt very wronged: "I want to pay it back, but the children need to go to school, the expenses are very high, even if I sell blood, it is not enough to pay it back."
