Liu Lanxiang looked at Li Hongli unhappily. Li Hongli had been shameless since she was a child and always took excessive demands as a matter of course.

Li Hongyan took advantage and at least said a few nice words to her, but Li Hongli didn't even bother to pretend.

Li Hongli was unaware of her excessive demands and continued to speak ill of Chen Hongping and her daughter to Liu Lanxiang: "...I don't know what mom is thinking. Not only do you give Chen Hongping a house, but you also have to support her two daughters' education. They are already 18 years old. What kind of education do they have? They have been working outside for several years. They must have forgotten everything they learned. This is a waste of money!"

While cooking, Liu Lanxiang said, "What's the waste? If the child wants to go to school, let her go. She will have a bright future after going to school, and our eldest sister will have a better life in the future."

Her family got out of poverty and became rich by supporting their three daughters to go to school. Liu Lanxiang supports her children's education.

For rural people, studying is the only chance to change their destiny. Otherwise, they will have to dig in the dirt for their whole lives, and their ancestors will be poor for generations and will never become rich.

Li Hongli didn't think too much: "Then my life is not easy either. I'm divorced and have a child. It's hard for me to get married, and it will be hard for me to have children in the future. My life is difficult, and mom doesn't even think about helping me."

Li Hongyan came outside the door. The courtyard in the countryside had no sound insulation and Li Hongli spoke loudly. She could clearly hear that Chen Xiaoying wanted to support the education of the two daughters of her eldest daughter whom she had found.

She knows best how much money it costs to study, as she is the one supporting three sons.

She even bought a house for her daughter, whom she hadn't seen for forty-eight years.

She didn't buy it for her.

Is this forty-eight-year mother-daughter relationship fake?

She has been filial to her for more than 40 years, and that woman is taking advantage of her for nothing?

Li Hongyan turned around and left angrily.

When they arrived at the old house, she told Li Pingwang how well Chen Xiaoying treated their biological eldest daughter.

She cried, "Dad, are you to blame me for switching babies? Ah, was it because I opened my mouth when I was born that you switched me?"

"I am innocent too. Pengbo and Pengle don't even have enough money for tuition now, and mom doesn't give me a dime. I'm not saying that you shouldn't let her support your biological eldest daughter to go to school. She should go to school. Studying is a good thing. I just think that my relationship with my mom has lasted for more than 40 years, and it's nothing."

"Dad, I feel so sad. Woo woo woo."

Li Pingwang was extremely anxious, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

"Study, study, tuition fees, borrow, borrow money from the second brother."

What he meant was that the tuition fee was not enough, so he borrowed money from the second son Li Hongjian.

The second son, Li Hongjian, is indeed the person most likely to lend money to Li Hongyan. Li Hongjian is thin-skinned and has no conflicts with Li Hongyan. He used to give his salary to Li Hongyan for safekeeping. Later, his mother Chen Xiaoying did not allow him to do so, so he saved his salary and now uses it to pay the mortgage for his house.

"Dad, I'm not his biological child anymore. How can I have the nerve to talk to the second son?" Li Hongyan said while crying and washing her nose.

Her eyes were red and she looked extremely pitiful.

Li Pingwang was anxious to raise his right hand: "I, I, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

Li Hongyan knew that Li Pingwang would definitely help her. She said this not just for the money, but mainly to say that no matter how badly their biological daughter was living, it had nothing to do with her, and she was also innocent of the child swap.

After talking to Li Pingwang for a long time, Li Hongyan said, "Dad, I'm going back first."

Li Hongyan is gone.

When Li Hongli came back from her sister-in-law Liu Lanxiang's house with food, a villager asked, "Your sister is back, didn't you see her?"

Li Hongli didn’t see it: “No.”

"Oh." The villagers didn't say anything.

After Li Hongli came back, she asked about Li Pingwang, and Li Pingwang said that he had come back.

But the father and daughter didn't say anything else.

Li Pingwang was unhappy with Li Hongli. She didn't take care of him at all. She came back just to piss him off to death: "Tomorrow, tomorrow, change someone else. Come, come."

Li Hongli frowned and watched her father Li Pingwang drooling while talking, soaking the towel tied around his chin.

She thought it was dirty, so she didn't want to change it: "They are all busy, so I am the only one who came back to take care of you. Dad, please be quiet, I still have to take care of the children."

Li Pingwang didn't want her to come back to take care of him, and she was still holding the child. Was he afraid that others wouldn't know that she married a man while pregnant, and divorced him in less than a year?

She doesn't even feel ashamed of herself!

No matter what Li Pingwang said, it was useless.

Since he had Li Hongli to serve him, Liu Lanxiang went to work in the fields early in the morning.

As for Li Hongli, she followed her own ideas. When her sister-in-law was cooking, she would just cook a little more and she would just go over and serve it.

When she cooks, the child will cry and can't leave.

The sister-in-law didn't say anything.

This early morning, the old man had a light sleep and woke up to the sound of roosters crowing at daybreak. He got up with great effort and even went to the toilet.

As for Li Hongli, she closed the door and was sleeping soundly. She vaguely heard the crowing of cocks, which meant it was still early.

"Hong, Hongli." Wait until the sky is bright.

Li Hongli was still sleeping in the room. Li Pingwang was hungry, so he went up to knock on the door with his crutches.

The knocks on the door startled the child and he started crying.

The child was less than one year old and was not used to sleeping in a new environment. He slept lightly and was frightened all of a sudden.

The child cried loudly and Li Hongli also woke up.

She was a little annoyed: "Dad, what are you doing? You woke up the child."

"This child is so difficult to take care of. He's crying. Can you help me comfort him?"

She was so angry that she hugged her. If this wasn't a living life, she would have thrown her away long ago.

"Eat, cook, cook, I'm hungry!" Li Pingwang cursed with gritted teeth, but unfortunately his mouth was crooked and he couldn't speak clearly.

But the child started crying, and Li Hongli became even more reluctant to come out to cook: "Can't you wait? It won't be a big deal if you skip a meal. When I was in the county town, I never had breakfast."

Li Pingwang was so angry that he almost fell backwards. He even wished he could just die of anger instead of enduring the anger of his daughter.

Li Hongli had no intention of taking care of her sick father Li Pingwang. She just lived off the 20 yuan a day bribe.

In the morning, she let Li Pingwang go hungry and she would not get up until he had enough sleep. Then she would go to her sister-in-law Liu Lanxiang's house to serve food.

Liu Lanxiang knew that Li Hongli came back to serve Li Pingwang only after getting the money, but in the end she still had to cook the meal herself?

Then why do you want her to come back? It would be better to give her the salary. The old man eats the meals she cooks anyway.

Liu Lanxiang deliberately said, "I twisted my arm accidentally while working, so I can't do it anymore. Just eat this soup with some leeks and some water. Dad can't eat it."

"Why can't you get used to it? It's not like Dad hasn't had a hard life before." Li Hongli didn't despise it. She took out the steamed bun, broke it open, and put half a plate of leeks and chili peppers into the steamed bun.

It was originally steamed buns made with boiling water. She glanced at it and said, "I boiled water in the old house, so it's the same to drink it there."

She was worried about what to eat. If she continued to eat like this, she would run out of milk.

So she simply gave the steamed bun with chili and leeks to Li Pingwang, and then rode her bicycle to the market in the next village to eat.

There is a market in the next village, and a road runs through the north and south. In addition to people from nearby villages who come here to attend the market, many drivers and passers-by who pass by this road also need to eat. Therefore, when it is not the market day, the seven or eight restaurants here are also open.
