Hearing her calling him mother, Li Hongwei was not happy. Li Hongyan recalled all the times this brother was dissatisfied with her in the past, so she didn't need to be polite to him now.
"Boss, what you said, when you say that about me, isn't it the same as saying that about your biological sister?" Li Hongyan glanced at Chen Hongping beside Chen Xiaoying: "She can call her own mother mom, so why is it not okay for me to call her mom?"
Li Hongwei was born with a bad tongue. After hearing what Li Hongyan said, he quickly glanced at his elder sister Chen Hongping, fearing that she might be suspicious.
"That's not what I meant at all."
What he meant was that Li Hongyan directly called the mother who raised her "Auntie", which was too heartbreaking for his mother Chen Xiaoying.
But Li Hongyan twisted the story into saying that he didn't allow her to call her biological mother "Mom".
She also wants to drag his eldest sister into it.
Seeing Li Hongwei's anxiety, Chen Hongping smiled and said to Li Hongyan, "My adoptive mother used me as a nanny when I was young. I have taken care of my lame adoptive father, blind adoptive mother, and two mentally retarded brothers for more than 40 years. Have you been living like this for the past 40 years?"
Chen Hongping walked over and looked at Li Hongyan again and again. The look in her eyes made Li Hongyan feel uneasy. Chen Hongping said, "But I have inquired about it. You, Li Hongyan, have a very comfortable and nourishing life in the Li family. My biological father, Li Pingwang, takes good care of you. He takes the lead and leads his four sons to work like slaves for you. You are living a very comfortable life in your husband's family."
"Then, you said in the Li family that you had a good life because of yourself, while in Zhaojia Village, you shouted to Zhao Faliang that the Zhao family's current situation was all due to your brothers from your mother's side. You know what's going on, Li Hongyan."
Li Hongyan blushed: "At that time, we were siblings and a family. We never cared about each other."
"You are so shameless. You are the one who takes advantage, so of course you don't care." Chen Hongping couldn't help but sneer.
She had long been displeased with Li Hongyan's shameless look, but she had never had the chance to catch her.
"I have nothing to say to you." Li Hongyan didn't expect Chen Hongping to be so eloquent. Originally, Chen Hongping was right, and she would definitely not be able to win the argument with her.
Suddenly, a sob was heard from the side: "Children, this is not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame fate. Fortunately, God has eyes and let the two of you grow up safely."
When everyone looked over, they saw Liang Xiuqing, whose face was already full of wrinkles, taking out a handkerchief and wiping her tears, looking so moved that she was crying.
All the evil things he had done were forgiven by just these words from her?
"Liang Xiuqing, you are so shameless. Do you blame your fate or yourself for being so immoral and sleeping with so many men?" Chen Xiaoying pulled her daughter Chen Hongping away, walked up to Liang Xiuqing, and stared at her with sharp eyes.
Liang Xiuqing's expression froze on her face. When she was young, Chen Xiaoying was cowardly and naive. She couldn't even open her mouth when arguing, and she was very easy to deceive.
How come she has become an old woman and her mouth has become more powerful?
"Don't talk nonsense." She said, and looked at Li Pingwang: "Brother Pingwang, look at my sister-in-law..."
As soon as Li Pingwang heard Chen Xiaoying scold Liang Xiuqing for sleeping with men everywhere, he felt as if he was being insulted: "You, you, don't say anything!"
Chen Xiaoying looked at Li Pingwang and said sarcastically, "The eldest brother's wife provides you with three hot meals a day, and your illness has been cured a lot. Look, you can speak fluently now."
Li Pingwang continued to mumble, speaking incoherently: "Yes, I should."
When Liu Lanxiang heard this, she felt uncomfortable. It was her duty, and so were the other three daughters-in-law. Why didn't they come to serve? And there was also the agreed salary.
When the second sister-in-law Li Hongli was around, she took care of Li Pingwang in exchange for her salary.
When it was her turn, the man Li Hongwei directly said no, saying that he didn't need to earn this little money, which meant that she was working for nothing.
What happened in the end? Her father-in-law thought it was what she deserved and decided not to remember her fault.
Chen Xiaoying looked at Liang Xiuqing again and again, especially at the silver bracelet on her hand, a fake silver bracelet.
She had already known from her granddaughter Li Yutong that Liang Xiuqing had not had a good life in recent years. The rental building of the Liang family had nothing to do with her and belonged to her younger brother Liang Yongfa.
Liang Yongfa's wife and Liang Xiuqing had been at odds with each other in their early years. When they were old, Liang Yongfa's wife relied on the fact that she had children to bully Liang Xiuqing and tried to drive her out of the Liang family many times.
Liang Xiuqing refused to leave and would not be given any food. Liang Yongfa was very cold-hearted and asked Liang Xiuqing to clean the building before paying her. Otherwise, he would let his wife kick her out of the house.
Liang Xiuqing felt uncomfortable with Chen Xiaoying's mocking look.
"Are you back here to enjoy life with your biological daughter?" Chen Xiaoying asked with a smile.
Liang Xiuqing pursed her lips and forced a smile: "Thank you for raising my daughter. I have to thank you for what I have today."
Chen Xiaoying became even more certain that Liang Xiuqing had followed Li Hongyan back to Kaiyuan City because he could no longer make it in the provincial capital.
"Hongping, let's go."
Liang Xiuqing was arrogant and proud. She used all kinds of means and even sacrificed her looks to return to the city. But when she was old, she returned to the place she had tried so hard to leave. It can only be said that she was a trouble.
Li Hongyan doesn't know yet.
Chen Xiaoying took Chen Hongping away. Li Hongwei felt it was unbearable to watch his elderly father looking at an old woman with fiery eyes, so he asked Liu Lanxiang to go with them. He could not see it and his heart was clear.
When they arrived at the home of the eldest brother Li Hongwei, Chen Xiaoying remembered that Lijia Village would be demolished in the future, so she said to Li Hongwei: "This Liang Xiuqing is not a good person. You should pay more attention to her and see what she wants to do."
Li Hongwei nodded. He didn’t think too much about it. They were already old men and women, what else did they want?
Liu Lanxiang is a woman, so she is much more sensitive: "Mom, I see that they look like lovers who have come a long way to reunite today, are they planning to get married?"
When these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned.
Chen Hongping found it incredible: "Liang Xiuqing is willing to serve a paralyzed old man?"
It doesn't look like it.
No one else could figure it out, so Chen Xiaoying simply told them about the demolition.
Li Hongwei was dumbfounded: "Is it true? Mom, this is impossible."
In recent years, the center of Kaiyuan City has been constantly demolished and rebuilt, with high-rise buildings standing tall. Many people have benefited from the demolition and not only received several houses, but also shops.
Are they also going to make money from demolition?
Chen Xiaoying knew what would happen when Lijia Village was demolished.
"Don't think too much. Wasn't Houjia Village demolished three years ago? They wanted to build a large reservoir, but what did they get?"
"They just marked off a piece of land in other parts of the village, built a six-story building, and resettled all the villagers. They gave them compensation for the land, but then the villagers had no land to farm, and most of them went out to work. This kind of demolition is definitely not profitable."
Li Hongwei then remembered the incident in Houjia Village. Many people in Houjia Village did not agree at the beginning, but the national policy was there and the compensation was actually quite a lot. Farming did not make money, so in the end most people still agreed.
