Now people's lives are getting better and better. In a small market, there are several small restaurants with a variety of dishes, selling mutton soup, dumplings, sesame cakes and braised meat, private dishes, and casserole cold dishes.
Whatever Li Hongli wants to eat, she can find it here.
She never compromised herself, so she went straight to eat mutton soup with steamed buns. The mutton soup was topped with the shop owner's special red chili oil, which made her appetite grow.
"Boss, I've tried mutton soup from so many restaurants in the city, but yours is the best."
The shop owner also smiled and said: "If it tastes good, come often."
He looked at her and she looked unfamiliar, but at the same time familiar: "Do you know that Li Hongwei?"
Since Li Hongwei contracted over 100 acres of land to grow peppers, he has been growing crops when he is not growing peppers. People in the surrounding villages know him.
He also bought agricultural machinery, and when he didn't need it for himself, he would let it work for other families. He didn't get much money for an acre of land, and sometimes he didn't even get the change. So outside, people praised Li Hongwei as a honest person.
"Li Hongwei is my elder brother." said Li Hongli.
The shop owner knew who she was at once?
Everything that happened in the Li family was new and uncommon in the village. First, the eldest daughter coaxed the old man to help her borrow high-interest loans, and the old man pressed the handprint himself.
It was like the old man borrowed money, so the loan shark went to force the old man's son to pay it back. How could the old man's son have money? At that time, they were all poor farmers. Later, when they forced the old man's son to pay it back, they found out that it was the breakfast shop that had cheated his wife.
The old woman was also very strong. She would rather divorce this treacherous old man than continue to fill the bottomless pit of her eldest daughter. Her business was getting better and better. She opened five chain breakfast shops in the city. I heard that she also bought several houses and shops, all for rent.
Although he had become a wealthy man, the old man had caused himself to become paralyzed on one side and he cried day and night at the gate of his yard. People in Lijia Village said he deserved it.
As for Li Hongwei's sister, I heard that his younger sister is a regular employee in the library. She should be working now. Is she the second sister who has nothing to do all day? The one who got pregnant before marriage, married into her husband's family with a house, but still got divorced?
Li Hongli still doesn't know what the store owner thinks of her.
She was eating mutton soup here comfortably, while her sister-in-law Liu Lanxiang was waiting anxiously, holding her daughter who was less than one year old.
Villagers have called her several times, asking her to go to the fields to work.
People in the countryside are busy all year round. If you fool the fields, the fields will fool you during the autumn harvest. Liu Lanxiang is happy to farm.
She was so anxious that she could only carry the child back to the old house, only to find out that Li Hongli had gone out on a bicycle.
Liu Lanxiang was so angry that she laughed: "She went to the market to eat, right?"
She brought back a steamed bun with spicy sauce for the old man and did not go back to her house to eat. She went to the market to eat, so where else could she go?
"Give, give, Hong, Hongxia, call, call, change, change her." Li Pingwang was furious. He was their father, and he was allowed to eat steamed buns dipped in chili water and drink boiled water?
Li Hongxia is an honest child. When she first started taking care of Li Pingwang, she was very dedicated.
Not only did she clean the house and the yard, she also cooked for Li Pingwang in different ways.
Now that Li Hongli has to deal with him, she doesn't even give him breakfast.
Li Pingwang ate a steamed bun with chili peppers dipped in water. It was spicy and he went to pour boiled water tremblingly. However, he had hemiplegia and no strength on his left side. His right arm had to take care of the left side that was out of control. Hukou shivered and the boiling water poured directly on his feet, scalding him so much that he almost fell to the ground.
Li Pingwang was so angry that his face turned purple.
What else could Liu Lanxiang do? She could only say, "Then I'll give them a call and ask."
Liu Lanxiang didn't want to talk to her father-in-law, and she couldn't leave the child with him, so she had to take the child back.
Li Hongli ate her fill, and then bought a bunch of bread and instant noodles from a small shop in the market before returning home. She had calculated that she was too lazy to cook, as she didn't want to wash, cut, and fry the food, and then have to wash so many pots and pans again for dinner.
She also told her sister-in-law directly that she was going to do this. She didn't think she was doing anything wrong. Anyway, she was serving the old man and she worked very hard.
Of course Liu Lanxiang would not call her mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying to tell her, or tell the fourth brother and the others. That would be a waste of effort as they didn't even want to have anything to do with it. If it weren't for Li Hongli's greed for money, no one would be willing to serve Li Pingwang.
Li Hongli doesn't do housework or wash clothes. When Li Pingwang wet his pants, she didn't change them for him and asked the old man to do them himself. She also pointed and gestured at him to wash his clothes.
Li Pingwang originally thought that since he had hemiplegia, there would always be someone to take care of him among his seven children.
He didn't expect this result. He was hungry and full, and lived a life of instant noodles and dry steamed buns with chili water.
He was feeling so miserable that he started crying at the gate of the yard, leaning on his crutches, and complaining to passers-by.
When other elderly people are wronged, they would rather keep it to themselves than let outsiders know. While they would say that their sons are unfilial, they would also laugh at them for having no one to take care of them. But Li Pingwang doesn't think about these things. He always only cares about making himself feel good.
So in the early years, when he ignored the ridicule of the villagers and devoted all his money and effort to helping the married Li Hongyan's family, he no longer cared about the lives of his sons and grandchildren, and now he would not consider it at all.
Unfortunately, when Li Hongli came, whenever he cried at the gate of the courtyard, Li Hongli would run out and quarrel with him.
"Dad, what have you done? Your arms and legs are broken, and your brain is broken too? You're fine, why are you crying?"
"Don't you know that everyone despises you? You cry all day long! They say you are a mourner, waiting to be put into the coffin."
Li Pingwang was so angry that he almost fainted.
Whenever he came to the door crying, Li Hongli would scold him like a machine gun.
Li Pingwang, who has lived in Old Li's family all his life, has only now realized that he is old and even Li Hongli can point at his nose and scold him.
It’s not like when he was young, when he could just glare at his wife and children so fiercely that they wouldn’t dare to pick up their chopsticks to eat.
"Red, red, red..."
He hoped that Li Hongyan would come to take care of him, but unfortunately, after two days of staying at home, Li Hongyan couldn't stand it anymore and went to find Chen Xiaoying.
In Kaiyuan City, Chen Xiaoying has completed various procedures with her eldest daughter Chen Hongping and two granddaughters Chen Xiaoying and Chen Xiaoyan. No, not granddaughters, but biological granddaughters.
The Cao family doesn't want these two children at all, and the Hu family is not the home of the two children, and they have now severed ties.
Now the two children are equivalent to Chen Xiaoying’s granddaughters.
The two granddaughters wanted to get into a good university, so they decided to start from the first year of high school.
The junior high school knowledge is consolidated one-on-one by the experienced teachers introduced by Li Yutong's aunt, who then provide auxiliary teaching of high school knowledge.
Sisters Chen Xiaoying and Chen Xiaoyan were overjoyed.
The university has already started, and no matter how worried Li Yutong is about the mess at home, she has to report to the university in the provincial capital. She also has shops and rental buildings to take care of there.
Yes, when Li Yutong bought a shop in the commercial street near the university town, she also bought a residential building sold by a nearby developer. She also bought a six-story building at one time, specifically for renting to college students.
Four-fifths of Li Yutong's funds were used to purchase real estate, and the remaining one-fifth was kept in the bank for savings. Now even her grandmother Chen Xiaoying doesn't know how many houses she has bought.
