When Li Hongyan heard this, she was immediately surprised: "Dad, are you going to ask for a house for me?"

Li Pingwang said with a sullen face: "Go, I will go tomorrow. Otherwise, I will make her business unsuccessful!"

Li Hongyan felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this.

She never thought of herself as a bad person.

"Dad, isn't that a bit too much?"

It's not easy for her mother to make this business so big.

"She doesn't even think about you, and yet you think about her?" The more Li Pingwang thought about it, the more he felt that he owed his eldest daughter. "Don't worry about this. I'll tell you after I get the house."

Li Hongyan rolled her eyes and said, "Dad, then... if you say so, I will wait for your good news at home."

My second sister Li Hongli’s house was taken back, and it was this house that she was thinking about.

Her mother has many houses, and this one has always been there.

Li Hongyan didn't know that while she was planning on buying this house, Xu Xiaodong's family had a falling out with Li Hongli over this house.

Li Hongli was pregnant and about to give birth, and she was becoming more and more scared.

Every now and then, she would ask her mother-in-law to call her mother Chen Xiaoying on her behalf.

No matter how dumb she was, she knew that in her mother-in-law's eyes, the baby in her belly was more important than her.

She heard this with her own ears.

She heard her mother-in-law muttering to Xu Xiaodong: "Li Hongli's health is not good. I heard that giving birth is very dangerous. When the time comes, if the doctor comes out and asks you whether to save the first or the second child, you know what to say, right?"

Xu Xiaodong nodded: "I know, of course I have to protect the younger one."

After hearing this, Li Hongli walked back holding on to the wall, her legs feeling weak.

Shameless.

Who is responsible for her ending up like this? Xu Xiaodong actually said he wanted to protect the younger one.

What does he mean.

Li Hongli was clamoring to find her mother Chen Xiaoying, and her mother-in-law Ma Xiufen had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, I'll go get her for you, okay?"

Ma Xiufenba had to take care of this daughter-in-law. She was so unlucky to marry a daughter-in-law like Li Hongli.

She was so stupid. Her mother was so rich, but she didn't know how to give some benefits to her husband's family. She even asked her mother to take back the house she gave as a dowry.

All women know that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, and will live with her husband for the rest of her life, so they all know how to do good things for their own families, but Li Hongli couldn't get any of that.

She has heard of her elder sister Li Hongyan, who is a truly capable person.'

Before Chen Xiaoying became rich, her eldest daughter coaxed all her savings of several decades into her own home. It was said that her brothers also borrowed the wages they earned from working outside from her, and they had not paid her back a penny in more than ten years.

They are from the same mother, so why doesn't Li Hongli have such ability?

After Ma Hongxiu left, the lives of sisters Chen Xiaoying and Su Wanping immediately became much quieter. They were busy with work during the day, and in the evening, they went to the People's Park to practice Tai Chi like the old ladies.

You know what, after a few days of exercise, I feel noticeably more energetic.

When Ma Xiufen came to find Chen Xiaoying, Chen Xiaoying was about to go to People's Park.

"In-laws, are you busy?" Ma Xiufen, who was passing by, had seen Chen Xiaoying practicing Tai Chi in the park, so she asked this on purpose.

Chen Xiaoying glanced at her and just hummed, obviously not wanting to say more.

But this time, Ma Xiufen really wanted Chen Xiaoying to take over for her for two days. She had served Li Hongli enough, going to the hospital every day regardless of rain or shine and serving her three meals a day. She felt that her old bones were about to fall apart.

"Hongli misses you and wants you to go see her," she said.

Chen Xiaoying calculated the date and found that her second daughter was indeed about to be born.

But, miss her?

She doesn't think so.

People like Li Hongli, when they need you, would like you to stand in front of her, like a nanny, available at her call at any time. When they don't need you, she would pretend not to see you and would like you to go away and never use her at all.

Seeing Chen Xiaoying's expression relax, Ma Xiufen immediately advised: "Mother-in-law, you should go see Hongli. She is about to give birth and she is scared. I am her mother-in-law, not her biological mother, so my words are useless."

Chen Xiaoying looked at Ma Xiufen and said, "Okay."

Chen Xiaoying just went to the health center.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xueyan, who was in the restaurant, saw her father-in-law Li Pingwang walk in. He was wearing a big white sweatshirt and a towel with holes in it worn out around his neck. He walked in with his trouser legs rolled up and wearing old cloth shoes with worn-out soles.

If it wasn't cleaned up well, it would be almost like a beggar.

"Dad, you're here? Do you want to eat anything?" Zhao Xueyan went over and asked.

Li Pingwang looked around the store and asked, "Where's your mother?"

Zhao Xueyan said, "They went to People's Park. You can ask there and find out."

Li Pingwang turned around and left.

Zhao Xueyan murmured to herself that her father-in-law usually didn't care about anything and suddenly came to the county town, and she didn't know what the matter was.

Li Pingwang, with his hands behind his back and his back bent, walked slowly towards the People's Park. From a distance, he saw a group of old men and women squatting on a large piece of concrete ground, paddling left and right, practicing Tai Chi.

It looks so leisurely.

Thinking that Chen Xiaoying is one of them, living such a comfortable life, with money, a house, a shop, and filial children, and practicing Tai Chi in the county town when she has nothing to do, then think of himself.

He is still at home taking care of the cows. If he hadn't sold two cows some time ago to pay for the tuition of his two grandsons, he would not have had time to come here today.

"Brother, are you looking for someone?" An old man who was taking a break saw Li Pingwang, stretched his neck and looked around in the crowd, and asked.

Li Pingwang was so warm, honest and polite to outsiders: "I'm looking for my old lady, Chen Xiaoying, I have something to ask her."

In Li Pingwang's eyes, divorce just means that the couple should not live in the same house. As for the rest, he is old and doesn't think he can distinguish much between him and Chen Xiaoying.

The first thing he said was his old woman.

"Oh, you're looking for her. She's not here. She went to the health center to see her daughter." The old man counted while looking at Li Pingwang.

Didn’t I hear that Chen Xiaoying has divorced the old man in her village?

Why do you still have to tell him what to say to his old woman?

Li Pingwang thought of his second daughter, Li Hongli, who had been hospitalized in the health center to protect her pregnancy: "Where can I find her?"

Wait until Li Pingwang leaves.

A few old men and women came to gossip.

"That's Chen Xiaoying's ex-husband. He looked honest and simple. How come they are getting divorced at such an old age?"

"I don't know, but I heard it was related to some loan sharking issue, I don't know the details."

After discussing for a while, they moved on to other things.

Li Pingwang had been to the health center. If he had not wanted to raise a few cows in the village while he was still able to move and to help his eldest daughter Hongyan, he would have wanted to stay in the hospital forever.
