Chapter 500: Hu Quezi's Home, Poor and Dirty



Li Yutong thought about it and didn't tell him that she already knew about her aunt yesterday. She said, "My grandma didn't sleep all night last night and just went to bed now. Tell me what happened first. I'll tell her when she wakes up."

Li Hongwei thought about it and decided that there was no rush. They said they had to wait for the results of some tests to come out and then look at the specific physical condition and how much it would cost. "Okay."

He stated his demands, because he was the pillar of the family, and he was injured, especially on his head. If he was left with a chronic illness, the whole family would have no way to survive if they had a headache or fever in the future. So, they said that if they wanted to reconcile, they would not accept less money.

Li Yutong nodded, expressing her understanding in her heart. If she were the victim and suffered such a misfortune, she would also be eager to ask for a huge compensation.

Before hanging up, she told her father: "Your own safety comes first. If they really want to beat someone up, call the police. Don't just take it on yourself."

If they want to fight, they should go and fight her third uncle Li Hongqiang instead of her innocent father.

When people were poor, if they committed a crime, they would kneel down and beg others to let them go, or they would say, "Please beat me to death."

There was no other way. In the eyes of a penniless man, the only two things he could ask for help were his life and self-respect.

Her family used to be poor, but now they are rich. Compared with money, life and self-respect are the most important.

Li Hongwei feels at ease as his eldest daughter is becoming more and more sensible.

"Okay, I understand."

Li Yutong was worried and said, "Stay in a regular hotel, keep your money in your pocket, and don't trust anyone easily."

She explained several things, but there was nothing she could do. It was her father's first time going away from home, and she was really worried.

Li Hongwei agreed to everything and then hung up the phone.

Li Yutong sighed and went out to eat at her own breakfast shop.

When Zhao Xueyan saw Li Yutong, she wanted to hide, but she thought that her mother-in-law was no longer in charge of the matter, and she was the one in charge of the store. The restaurant couldn't do without her, so it didn't matter if she, as a daughter-in-law, didn't take care of her father-in-law Li Pingwang.

"Xiaoyu, why didn't your grandma come to eat?"

The old store here is not far from the house that Chen Xiaoying bought near Jinshui River Garden. It is about ten minutes' walk away. Chen Xiaoying gets up early every day and walks here by herself, treating it as exercise.

When Li Yutong arrived, she rode a bicycle and it only took her four or five minutes to get there.

"My grandma didn't sleep well last night, so I'll bring some food back for her after I finish eating," said Li Yutong.

Zhao Xueyan breathed a sigh of relief. Her mother-in-law was her backbone, and she was glad that she was okay.

Li Yutong was eating in a corner when she suddenly saw her second aunt Li Hongli coming with a child. She raised her hand and handed the child to a waiter in the store: "Hold it for me first, and give it to me after I finish eating."

The waitress knew that this was the boss's second daughter and took the child with a smile. The child was fair, cute and well-behaved, and she really liked to hold her.

Li Yutong blinked her eyes, not knowing if it was her illusion. Why did her second aunt look so happy, as if... she was in love.

Li Hongli came over with fried dough sticks and soy milk, and picked up two tea eggs, and also saw Li Yutong.

She glanced at it and said nothing.

Li Hongli herself does not admit that she has any problem with Li Yutong.

Her mother is an old lady who is getting more and more confused as she gets older. How could she actually favor her granddaughter over her daughter?

Nothing much.

She is an aunt, how can she argue with her younger generation?

But she felt uncomfortable seeing Li Yutong, especially because Li Yutong had the key to her mother's courtyard but she didn't.

Second aunt Li Hongli ignored her, and Li Yutong didn't take it to heart.

In the eyes of the second aunt, when there was no man, she was the most important. When there was a man, the man was more important than herself. Other people, including her parents, owed her. Who told them to give birth to her in such a poor family and let her suffer?

Her brothers and sisters also owe her something. Why shouldn’t they be nicer to her?

As for the younger generations, she is their aunt, and none of them know how to please her.

Anyway, she is a person who has the symptoms of a willful princess, but not the fate of a willful princess.

After Li Yutong finished her meal, she took some breakfast back for her nurse.

Chen Xiaoying had already woken up, but in fact she was worried and couldn't sleep at all.

"Grandma, I got news from my dad. I heard that this problem cannot be solved with 20,000 or 30,000 yuan." Li Yutong told the news from her father Li Hongwei.

Chen Xiaoying thought of the character of her third son Li Hongqiang. Her heart had long since turned cold towards this son.

"Let's take a look first. If the demands are too excessive, then forget about it. None of us owes him anything, so there's no need to use our hard-earned money to fill his hole," said Chen Xiaoying.

Now she only wants to make up for her eldest daughter who has been pitiful to her for most of her life. She has done her best for the rest of her children and grandchildren.

She bought houses for her children and hired tutors for her grandchildren to urge them to study hard. What else can she do? She can't just feed them all.

"Okay." Li Yutong meant the same thing.

The grandparents and grandchildren were in the county town, anxiously waiting for news from Hu Guihua from Hujiazhuang.

Hujiazhuang.

Hu Guihua sat blankly in the dilapidated yard of her own home, once again unable to help but be in a daze.

There is a courtyard surrounded by earthen walls washed by rain on three sides. Inside the courtyard are three earthen houses with bumpy outer walls. Next to the earthen house on the east side, a shed was built with waterproof black oilcloth and some crooked wood. A stove was built in the corner of the wall, where steamed buns, stir-fried dishes and soups were usually made.

There were three dilapidated earthen houses. Her adoptive mother lived in the one on the east side, and she lived in the one on the west side with her adoptive brothers when she was a child. When she grew up, she didn't want to live there anymore, so she set up a bed in her adoptive parents' room.

Yes, in my foster parents’ room.

There was no other way. If she didn't sleep here, she would have nowhere else to go. She couldn't sleep in the yard covered with mud and chicken and dog shit.

The family was poor, so why did they keep a dog? Because they kept a brood of chickens in the other corner of the yard, and they had to save up the eggs they laid to exchange for money at the market. At night, weasels would steal the chickens, and the dog was used to catch weasels.

Hu Guihua was in a daze when she suddenly noticed the dog barking.

"Osmanthus, who's here?"

Her adoptive mother was lying on the kang in the room. Ever since Hu Guihua was six or seven years old and was able to work and cook, she had done nothing. Except for going to the toilet every day, she never went to the fields. Hu Guihua's three meals a day were delivered to her.

She is blind, but has very good hearing.

Hu Guihua took a look and saw Hu Dayong's sister-in-law quietly waving at her, then waving her hand, telling her not to tell her adoptive mother.

Hu Guihua said, "It's okay, I was just passing by."

She walked over.

Hu Xiaoyi's mother looked around Hu Quezi's house and couldn't help but sigh.

Hu Quezi's home is in a remote area. His family is disabled, lazy, and unhygienic. The yard is like a garbage dump all year round, with plastic bags, paper shells, plastic bottles, etc. everywhere. When it rains, the smell is so bad that anyone who passes by will vomit.

When Hu Guihua grew up, she organized all these things herself and made the yard look like a place for people to live.
