There is an interesting saying: You can cheat on my feelings, but you can't cheat on my money, or, you can talk to me about feelings, but you can't talk to me about money.
She was very surprised that Zhao Pengle could lend her money, but she just wanted to give it a try because she really couldn't borrow any more. Later, she was always enthusiastic towards him.
Later, because her aunt had a problem with her father, Zhao Pengle of course sided with her mother. When she greeted him on the road, Zhao Pengle turned his face away and was very cold, leaving her feeling very embarrassed.
She no longer had any contact with Zhao Pengle.
Cousins have never met each other except at weddings or funerals between relatives.
She didn't care. Her father had never lent money to her eldest aunt in his life. At most, it hurt their feelings. But her second and third uncles were the ones who suffered the most. Their children had grown up, gone to college, and moved far away from home. They were under great pressure in life and it was hard for them to support their own parents, so how could they possibly support their uncle?
As for the fact that you paid tuition for them when you were young, Li Yutong remembered what Zhao Pengfei said.
"Uncle, I don't know about this. Even if it happened, it's between you and my mom. Go ask my mom for it. If my mom asks me to pay it back, I will."
Li Hongjian and Li Hongqiang, of course, could not get over the hurdle of Li Hongyan, while Zhao Pengfei and Zhao Pengbo, naturally, had never admitted their guilt.
There is no evidence, such as an IOU or transfer slip.
The two of them never thought of keeping these things as evidence. When they asked the eldest sister for money later, it was thirty or forty years ago, and they didn't know where the transfer slips had been thrown away.
"Oh." Li Yutong couldn't help but sigh.
Li Hongyan heard it.
"Why are you sighing, Xiaoyu? You don't want to ask me to come here, right?" She said with a stern face.
Li Yutong said quickly: "No, aunt, I was just sighing that English is hard to learn, and my teacher is going to test me tomorrow."
At present, Kaiyuan County is still a small county in the 18th tier. Although English is included in the junior high school textbooks, the teachers all speak English with a rustic accent and most of the students’ performance is average.
Written communication is possible, but oral conversation is difficult.
"You don't know anything, I'll teach you." Zhao Pengle said, he was in the third grade of junior high school, and he could teach her, who was in the first grade, and he thought he could do it.
"It's okay, I can recite it, but you have to memorize it yourself," said Li Yutong.
Zhao Pengle finally let it go.
Over there, Chen Xiaoying quickly fried a few skewers for Zhao Pengle.
"It's stuffed with spinach, bean curd and ham. If you don't have enough, I'll fry some for you."
"Enough, enough." Zhao Pengle had heard from his classmates who lived in the county town that there was a fried skewers shop in front of the No. 1 Primary School that served delicious food. However, he had no money, so he had never been there.
When I came here today, I found out that it was actually opened by his grandmother.
Zhao Pengle enjoyed the meal very much.
Li Hongyan looked at it, feeling unhappy and her eyes turned red.
"Mom, when you are not busy, I want to tell you something."
"You talk, I'm listening." Chen Xiaoying had to sit in front of the stall. When people left the stall, sometimes when customers came and saw that there was no one, they might just leave directly, and she had to wait on them here.
Li Hongyan turned around and said to Li Yutong: "Xiao Yu, go to the bus stop outside and ask what time the bus leaves."
Li Yutong blinked her eyes and understood that her aunt was trying to trick her out and tell her grandmother something.
He said he was guarding against her, but actually he was guarding against her father Li Hongwei.
I was afraid that she would hear what she said and then tell her father those words.
As a person who had been plotted against by Li Hongyan all his life, Chen Xiaoying immediately knew what she was trying to do.
He definitely wants to plot against her again. If he doesn't, why would he do it behind her back with such a guilty conscience?
"I can't go out. What if I get caught by human traffickers? How can I explain to her father?"
Chen Xiaoying didn't let her go because society wasn't as developed as it will be in the future. I heard that there will be cameras everywhere and the police will be able to detect whether there are bad guys through the cameras.
Now, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack if one person is lost.
She didn't dare to think about it. What if the child was lost? What if the sky fell?
"Where did the human traffickers come from in broad daylight?" Li Hongyan was very dissatisfied.
"What if, what if?" Chen Xiaoying disagreed with asking Li Yutong to go out.
Li Hongyan could only say, "Then I'll ask Pengle to lead the team. That should be fine, right?"
"You've lost both of them, so you have to cry." Chen Xiaoying refused to agree.
Li Hongyan was furious: "Okay, okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go. You are just a little girl, and you are not worth much. There were many girls thrown on the road in the past few years, and no one picked them up. But you are the only one who wants them."
Chen Xiaoying was so angry that she wanted to yell. People were coming and going, and she was doing business. She suppressed her anger and said, "Why didn't I throw you into the chamber pot when you were born? I raised you until you were eighteen, gave you a dowry, and married you off in a red sedan chair?"
Li Hongyan's eyes turned red with anger: "I just said it casually, and you scolded me."
"What sin did I commit in my previous life that I gave birth to you?" Chen Xiaoying was furious.
According to her, the girl is worthless, so she arrogantly asked her brothers to support her three sons? Worthless, worthless, eat your food and drink your drinks?
Look at the current family planning policy. Many families have only one child. Some have only daughters, but they still have to support their parents when they get old. What's wrong with having a son?
She saw through everything when she died in her previous life, and when she died, she also saw the end of her seven children and grandchildren.
It’s not that I have many sons. Burning some paper can make her crawl out of the coffin and live two more days.
Whether it is raising a son or a daughter, and allowing them to gain a foothold in society and live a peaceful life, people like them at the bottom of society have nothing to gain.
As for the question of passing on the family line, what should we pass on? What should we inherit?
For example, what did she and the old man inherit from their four sons? At most, they had pots and pans at home and a few acres of land in the countryside, and they continued to live their hard lives.
For this old couple, death is death. Even if they had a son, they are already dead, so it doesn’t matter if they give birth to a hundred grandchildren.
Li Hongyan was scolded so much that she could only shut up and sit on the chair for a while before rolling her eyes. She came close to her mother Chen Xiaoying and whispered, "Mom, I didn't come to you to borrow money."
She thought her mother was angry with her because she was afraid that she would borrow money.
Come to think of it, the business had only been in operation for more than two months and had just made some money, but someone came to borrow money. It was her, so she was also angry.
"Then what are you here for?" Chen Xiaoying looked at her.
"Mom, I was just thinking, since you are doing the fried skewers business here, can you teach me how to make sesame cakes and egg-filled pancakes? I will set up a stall at the market to earn some money, and also earn some money to support Pengbo and Pengle to go to school." Li Hongyan said.
Chen Xiaoying was stunned: "How do you know about egg-filled pancakes?"
Li Hongyan smiled and said, "I know everything about our family. My last name is Li too."
"Did your dad say that?" Chen Xiaoying asked.
Li Hongyan nodded and said, "Mom, teach me. I don't want you to teach me how to sell hot vegetables and fried skewers. You can teach me how to make sesame seed buns and egg-filled pancakes."
Chen Xiaoying felt something was wrong.
"I should give you that?"
Li Hongyan felt aggrieved: "Mom, you are my mom, how can you just watch you live a good life while I live a poor life?"
Chen Xiaoying wanted to throw the hot dish in her hand at her face: "I worked hard to raise you, and when I was able to earn money and work, I married Zhao Faliang. I don't ask you to give me anything, I just ask you to stop making trouble in your mother's family."
