Her aunt said, "Jiejie is not good at studying. It's a waste of money to send her to school. It's better to keep her at home to work. When she grows up, find an honest man in the village for her to marry. Then you two will have someone nearby to rely on when you get old."
"Young girls, if they read too much, their hearts will become wild. Be careful that when she goes to study in another province, she might run away with someone from another province."
"Then you've been supporting her for nothing."
She didn't understand what it meant at that time, but now she is in junior high school and she understands what her aunt said after thinking carefully.
She clearly has bad intentions.
At that time, she had just started primary school and had just learned to write her own name crookedly. How could she know that she was not good at studying?
Her mother also said that her aunt didn't let her father support her schooling because she wanted her to spend all the money her father earned.
I bought fertilizer and tricycles for her family, paid for her son's tuition and living expenses, and helped her three sons find wives in the future...
Thinking of this, Li Yujie looked at her aunt Li Hongyan with something strange in her eyes.
Li Yujie is different from her eldest cousin Li Yutong. Li Yutong at least smiles on her face and can say a few polite words to avoid making things too embarrassing for each other.
Second cousin Li Yuhan is softer in character. Even though she doesn’t like her eldest aunt, she just smiles. However, she won’t talk to her eldest aunt if she can avoid it.
Where is Li Yujie?
Her mother, Zhao Xueyan, is carefree and doesn't care about other people's feelings.
As the only daughter, she was left to her own devices since she was young. She was allowed to do whatever she wanted. Her biological father, Li Hongqiang, worked in another place and had never been involved in her education.
Thank God that people like Li Hongqiang did not educate Li Yujie.
Li Yujie is very self-centered. Whatever she thinks, it shows on her face.
"Aunt, what are you doing here?"
Li Hongyan never liked her niece Li Yujie. The eldest son Li Hongwei's two daughters, Li Yutong was diligent and Li Yuhan was honest.
When it came to the third brother Li Hongqiang and the fourth brother Li Honggang, their two daughters, one of them, Li Yujie, was like a mute since childhood, always keeping her head down and not speaking, and she looked like she had no future.
Li Yumeng has been spoiled by the fourth son's wife, Yang Xiaohui, and has become very selfish. If she wants to eat an egg, she will pounce on it and take it out of her mother's mouth. Can the couple still rely on such a daughter when they are old?
Li Hongyan doesn't like her nieces, especially Li Yujie and Li Yumeng.
Hearing Li Yujie's impolite question, he looked at her coldly and said, "Why do you care what I do? Where's your milk?"
She didn't even want to pay attention to Li Yujie. Is this the attitude of a niece towards her aunt?
No manners at all.
Chen Xiaoying heard the noise in the house, came out, and saw her eldest daughter Li Hongyan.
"Why are you here? What are you doing here?"
Li Hongyan pushed Li Yujie aside and walked into the room, only then did she realize what was different about this room. There was no sofa in the living room, but three study tables were placed side by side. There was a large bookshelf against the wall, which was full of books. On the opposite wall there were words hanging: Study hard and make progress every day.
There was a large blackboard hanging below, and sitting on a chair next to it was a female comrade wearing glasses who looked like a teacher.
It's just like a cram school, but the conditions are much better than those of a cram school, it's spacious and comfortable.
There are three study desks. At this moment, one is empty, one is occupied by Li Yumeng, and the other is occupied by Li Chaochao.
Li Yujie walked over and sat down at the empty study desk.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Li Hongyan was confused: "You started a cram school?"
Her mother's move is too big. An old lady who can't read a single word and can only run a restaurant, now she starts a cram school?
Tutoring classes are good, they are clean and you can earn a lot of money.
Li Hongyan was thinking about it.
Chen Xiaoying pursed her lips and gave her a look of annoyance: "Why do you care what I do? What on earth are you doing here?"
Li Hongyan came here for something. She looked around the living room and found that it was probably not a cram school. How could a cram school have only three desks?
"Mom, I have something I want to ask you about," she said.
Li Hongyan has always been very smart. She always has a purpose when asking questions to people or about things.
Chen Xiaoying led Li Hongyan to one of the bedrooms and asked, "What do you want to know?"
Li Hongyan saw that her mother looked unhappy and was afraid that she would be chased away without getting any information. So she said, "Mom, do you know a woman named Xiuqing?"
"Xiuqing?" Chen Xiaoying couldn't help but think back and frowned.
This name sounds familiar, because there are so many people around me named Xiuqing, Xiuqin, Xiuli, Xiujuan, Xiuqing and Xiuqin.
"There are many people with this name. Which Xiuqing are you looking for?" she asked.
Li Hongyan became suspicious and asked, "You and my dad both know a person named Xiuqing."
Li Hongyan was not honest, Chen Xiaoying snorted coldly: "You are beating around the bush, what do you want to find out?"
Judging from her mother's reaction, it seems that she doesn't know this woman named Xiuqing.
Li Hongyan began to feel confused. Was she overly suspicious? Was this woman named Xiuqing really not related to her family?
"I'm asking you, what are you thinking about?" Chen Xiaoying became impatient.
Could this eldest daughter be less calculating all day long?
"It's okay, it's okay, Mom, I'm just asking casually." Li Hongyan reacted and said immediately.
Choose between her mom and her dad, who should I choose to find out who this person is?
Li Hongyan knew that it must be her father. She had to go to her father and tell him the truth. She had to find out who this woman named Xiuqing was, where she was from, how old she was, and what she did.
What does it have to do with her family?
"Mom, you're busy, I'm leaving now."
Li Hongyan came and left quickly, and Chen Xiaoying couldn't figure out what was going on.
But when she heard Li Hongyan talking about a woman named Xiuqing, she couldn't help but find someone from her memory.
Could it be that the person Li Hongyan was asking about was her?
She was half-hiding and half-revealing, afraid that she would know that the person she was inquiring about was Liang Xiuqing?
However, that was more than 40 years ago. Even if Liang Xiuqing were still alive, he would be over 60 years old. If he had developed Alzheimer's disease due to doing so many bad things, he might have forgotten about Li Pingwang long ago.
Since childhood, Li Hongyan has been stubborn and will not give up until she achieves her goal.
Since she couldn't get any information from her mother Chen Xiaoying, she simply rode her bike back to Lijia Village.
Now that Li Hongyan has come to Lijia Village, things are no longer the same as before.
In the past, she would bring two pancakes and two vegetable buns with her, and would greet the villagers with a smile as soon as she entered the village.
"Sit down? My dad loves to eat the vegetable buns at the market, so I bought them for him."
"My mother loves to eat the tofu bought on the east side of the market, so I bought this especially for her."
She was very filial. She greeted everyone along the way. If she bought a grain of rice for her parents' home, everyone in Lijia Village would know that she had come to show filial piety to her parents again.
She is the most filial daughter. Look at how many things she buys for her parents every day.
Her other brothers are not as filial as her, so she spends a little money from her parents, so what?!
She is so filial.
But ever since her brother Li Hongwei made a lot of money by growing peppers and became a well-known figure in the village, Li Hongyan no longer dared to walk openly on the main road when she returned to Lijia Village. Instead, she wore a straw hat, tried not to be seen, and walked back on the side roads...
