Regardless of whether the child was raised with a bowl of leftover soup or rice from their family, has the child suffered a lot of hardships and abuse in their family over the years? She has been a nanny for their family of disabled people...
None of this matters!
Anyway, I raised your child and didn't let her die halfway.
This is the grace of raising a child.
You have to repay me!
After hearing what her granddaughter said, Chen Xiaoying calmed down.
That’s true. If she directly gave the house and shop to them, she didn’t know what her ex-husband and current adoptive mother would think.
Chen Xiaoying's eyes turned red, and she couldn't help crying again as she sat on the chair beside the bed: "Xiaoyu, what do you say about grandma? Your aunt is already so old, her life is over, and she has even raised a child. How can I make it up to her?"
To put it bluntly, she has long passed the time when she still needs her biological mother to protect and take care of her. Now that her mother appears, what's the point?
If she didn't have some money, people would think she wanted to find a daughter to help her sons support her in their old age.
Li Yutong was also feeling bad. Looking at her haggard appearance, she must have been in pain and didn't sleep all night.
What did she say.
You say, this is a person’s fate?
Li Hongyan was really lucky. As soon as she was born, an innocent baby suffered for her. Although she was not his biological father since childhood, her adoptive father treated her better than his biological father, even though they were a little poor.
There was no way out in the village, and most families were poor, but no one had ever beaten or scolded her. Even when her six younger brothers and sisters were hungry, she never let them. She was the laziest at work, and she would brag about the slightest achievement.
But what about her eldest aunt?
She now has complicated feelings towards her eldest aunt's family.
Speaking of gratitude, at least she raised my aunt, but she couldn't be particularly grateful. Obviously, her aunt was able to grow up in a very poor family with four disabled people, mostly due to her own luck.
Listen to what her adoptive father said, he adopted her so that he could help his wife with work, and let her grow up to marry his mentally retarded son and have children, and then take care of his family in his old age. Her eldest aunt was lucky enough to meet a good village chief who told her that what her adoptive father did was illegal, and that’s how she was spared from such persecution.
Early in the morning, Li Yutong was in a heavy mood and almost shed tears.
"Grandma, we can only do our best to compensate my aunt."
Otherwise, what else can you do? The lost life can never be recovered.
Chen Xiaoying cried for a while and then she felt a little better.
She couldn't hold on any longer, so she went back to her room and lay down.
Li Yutong wanted to sleep a little longer when she heard some noise outside. Besides her and her grandparents, the only person who had the key to the yard was her aunt Li Hongxia.
Li Yutong was no longer in the mood to sleep, so she just got up.
Li Hongxia was also thinking about this matter, so she came here early in the morning.
"Xiaoyu, where's your grandma?"
Li Hongxia's job is relatively easy. Her job responsibilities are to issue library cards to people at the counter in the library and do some other work such as borrowing and returning books. She has been studying in her spare time and has passed the teacher qualification certificate.
After Li Hongli got divorced, she had nothing to do and was particularly envious of Li Hongxia's job.
She said sourly that it was my aunt who found this job for me in the beginning. If I hadn’t been getting married at that time, how could you have gotten such a good job?
Shouldn't you thank me?
Her grandmother scolded her directly, saying that she should stop flattering herself. It was not said at the beginning that it was given to her. It was her own fault that she lost this opportunity and it had nothing to do with Hongxia.
Later on, her second aunt didn't dare to say anything more.
Li Yutong said: "Grandma was sad all night last night and didn't sleep. Now she is sleeping again."
Li Hongxia was worried: "Did you really find your aunt? How is she doing there? Is she suffering?"
The first time she went to look for someone, Li Hongxia didn't hold too much hope, for fear that she would be disappointed again later.
Li Yutong nodded: "Found it."
As for whether there is suffering...
It’s hard to put it into words.
Li Yutong told Li Hongxia everything that happened yesterday: "Aunt, don't tell anyone yet. Things have been happening one after another in our family recently. It's a mess. Wait until my aunt has recovered. Then we can come up with an attitude on what we want to do."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid my grandfather and..."
She suddenly didn't know what to call Li Hongyan. If she called her aunt, what would her biological aunt do?
"I'm afraid they'll come looking for me. If there's a commotion in Hujiazhuang, my eldest aunt might misunderstand and refuse to recognize my grandmother. What should I do?"
Li Hongxia was not stupid. She was stunned for most of the day before she came to her senses: "How could this be? Your grandfather is really a man of few virtues. Except for your father, all of his four sons are useless. Maybe this is the retribution for his evil deeds."
She was very angry.
Wiping away tears, she continued, "Are you worried that they might go and cause trouble?"
Li Yutong nodded.
For example, what could she persuade her eldest aunt Hu Guihua's adoptive mother to say on their behalf?
Or was she trying to sow discord between her eldest aunt and her grandmother?
Her grandfather is a confused man who can't do anything, but he is willing to listen to Li Hongyan, who is particularly good at doing trouble, and be her knife.
Li Hongxia was stunned for a moment.
She is not a bad person, but she herself admits that she is not a smart fool.
Everything my niece considered was correct.
She nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this for now. I won't tell anyone else. Just watch your grandma and see what she wants. I'll listen to you."
Li Yutong nodded.
Li Hongxia started talking about something else: "...I don't know how your father and your second uncle are doing over there?"
The third brother, Li Hongqiang, was stealing a motorcycle. When he was discovered by the owner, he pushed the man and he fell to the ground. His head hit a stone beside the flower bed and blood came out on the spot. He ran away in fear.
So, he went back to his hometown not only to see his paralyzed father in the hospital, but also to flee because he was afraid of being punished.
In the end, where could he escape?
He was arrested by the police at the train station.
Now several family members have been sent over to handle the situation. If they want to settle it privately, they can go to the hospital and have a good talk with the injured car owner who is hospitalized.
Li Hongxia was very worried that something might happen to her eldest and second brothers.
"Aunt, wait for the news, it's too far to reach you." Li Yutong said.
Uncle San has brought trouble upon himself and he has to bear the consequences of his mistakes. People like him will only bully those who are good to them, and he will instead look at the faces of those who are not.
The aunt and niece exchanged a few words. Li Hongxia saw that it was 8:05 and she had to go to work at 8:30, so she stood up and said, "Then I'll go to work. I'll come to see your grandma after I get off work."
Li Hongxia is gone.
Li Yutong was just about to go out to buy breakfast when the phone in the living room rang. Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that what she said was true? Was there any news from her third uncle?
She quickly picked up the phone.
It was really her father Li Hongwei who called.
"Dad, how are you doing over there?"
When her father went there, she was afraid that the family members on the other side would be so angry that they would beat her father up to vent their anger, but there was no way to stop them from going. Anyway, her father valued his brothers very much, and even if his brothers disappointed him a hundred times, he still treated them as brothers.
This time, he just wanted to go and see the mess Li Hongqiang had made for him, and see if he would be willing to go again in the future.
"It's nothing. I can't explain it to you clearly. Where's your grandma?" In Li Hongwei's eyes, his daughter is just a child. He cannot discuss such important matters with a child. He has to talk to her mother.
