Li Hongyan was afraid of being seen, so she hurriedly pulled her mother Chen Xiaoying into the box: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely tell you, but not today. Look how busy it is outside. If I don't go out, my mother-in-law will think she has something against her family."
"Just let her go. Can't she tell him later if anything happens?" Li Pingwang just wanted to protect his daughter Li Hongyan.
"No." Chen Xiaoying said.
The third brother, Li Hongqiang, came to the door and called out, "Big sister, your brother-in-law is looking for you everywhere. He wants to know where you put your gold ring. Go quickly."
"What about the gold ring?" Chen Xiaoying realized that the money Li Hongyan gave to her son for the engagement was most likely obtained from her family members.
But how did it happen?
The father and daughter went out together and hid it from her, their mother.
"Mom, I've already told you that if Pengfei's wife fails, will you feel at ease as his grandmother?" Li Hongyan put the blame on him.
The third child, Li Hongqiang, was also thinking about her sister: "Mom, if you have something to say, let's talk about it later. What are you doing now?"
There was hostility in his eyes, which made Chen Xiaoying feel cold.
Li Hongyan hurriedly squeezed out from beside her. Li Pingwang didn't speak to her either. The third brother, Li Hongqiang, looked at her disappointedly and left as well.
Chen Xiaoying felt that as a mother, she seemed to have done something unjust, and they were all annoyed with her.
Chen Xiaoying's eyes became hot and she felt aggrieved.
She is their mother, how can she not think about them?
But what are they all doing? Li Hongyan only thinks about herself, sucking the blood of her mother's family, providing for herself and her three sons, and not caring about how her mother's family lives?
The third son, Li Hongqiang, is a fool. He only has his eldest sister in his eyes. His eldest sister is capable and always talks to him in great praises, hoping that her nephew will be filial to him and provide him with support in his old age.
Not to mention Li Pingwang, the father. From childhood to adulthood, he only treated his eldest daughter Li Hongyan and several grandsons Pengfei as human beings. Everyone in the family was like a decoration, and any money was only given to Li Hongyan to spend.
Chen Xiaoying almost cried, but she was afraid of going out with red eyes, which would be embarrassing, so she tried to hold back her tears.
On the table.
The eldest brother Li Hongwei and his wife Liu Lanxiang felt something was wrong.
"Dad, where is my mom?" the eldest son Li Hongwei asked Li Pingwang.
"How should I know?" Li Pingwang did not have a good face towards his eldest son Li Hongwei. He was the one who had the most dissatisfaction with him now. All the things his mother had done now must have been instigated by him and his wife behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, he glared at Liu Lanxiang fiercely.
Liu Lanxiang was a little timid and wondered why her father-in-law was glaring at her.
When she thought about it this way, she understood that it must be her sister-in-law Li Hongyan who said something to her father-in-law again.
Liu Lanxiang was feeling angry. There were some things in the village that could not be kept secret. She vaguely heard someone say that her father-in-law Li Pingwang had borrowed some money from outside for his grandson Pengfei's engagement.
I just don’t know how much I borrowed.
She didn't dare to say it, because if she did, she would become the enemy of everyone in the Li family, and everyone would target her.
Soon the toast came to them, and red envelopes from their uncles were handed over one by one.
Liu Lanxiang found that Pengfei was quite lucky. His wife was very beautiful, different from those girls in the village who worked in the fields all day and had tanned faces.
The engagement party ended quickly.
The eldest son’s wife Liu Lanxiang discovered that her mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying had not shown up.
"Where did Mom go? Why hasn't she come out yet?" she asked Li Hongwei.
Li Hongwei had noticed it just now and thought his mother just went to the toilet, but it was over now and the person was still not visible.
"Sister, have you seen mom?" Li Hongwei went to ask her elder sister Li Hongyan.
When Li Hongyan heard this, she turned around to look for her, but most people in the hall had left. Her mother was nowhere to be seen. Her heart sank immediately. Could she still be in that box?
"I'll go look for it."
When Li Hongwei saw her posture, he immediately followed her.
When Li Hongyan entered the box, she saw her mother Chen Xiaoying sitting there with a gloomy face when she saw them all come in.
Suddenly he said, "Hongyan, tell me the truth, where did you get the money for Pengfei's engagement?"
Li Hongyan felt guilty, but the more guilty she felt, the more confident she looked. She said impatiently, "Mom, don't worry about my business. I have other things to do."
Li Hongyan left as soon as she said she would, and ran away without waiting for Chen Xiaoying to pull her away.
Li Hongyan ran away. Her husband and Pengfei and others had been waiting on a tricycle at the hotel entrance. When she arrived, the family drove away on the tricycle.
In the hotel lobby, the waiters have already started clearing the tables.
It was not easy for Chen Xiaoying and her family to stay here. Seeing that she had stopped making noise, Li Pingwang asked Li Hongwei to drive a tricycle to take him back to the village.
The second oldest, Li Hongjian, said, "Mom, the third oldest and I have all bought train tickets for tomorrow and will leave tomorrow. If you need help with anything, we will do the work today."
As Chen Xiaoying walked out, she said, "I don't need you to work for me. Just take care of yourselves and I won't have to worry about you."
She looked very unhappy, and the third brother Li Hongqiang knew that she must be angry about her eldest sister.
Chen Xiaoying did not return to the store today, but went straight back to the village.
The eldest granddaughter Li Yutong is at school and out of reach, but she is alone and not panicking.
Before his eldest granddaughter was reborn, wasn't he the only one holding a kitchen knife, arguing with that old man Li Pingwang?
The family, one group riding on tricycles, followed by another group riding bicycles, returned home in more than 20 minutes.
The whole family of Old Li is complete again.
Chen Xiaoying asked Li Pingwang: "Now you can tell me, where did Hongyan's family get the money for the engagement?"
Li Pingwang was angry at Chen Xiaoying's questioning tone: "You old woman, I think you are crazy. If you are crazy, take medicine quickly."
Chen Xiaoying laughed out of anger: "Li Pingwang, you old man, you are such a piece of shit. I, Chen Xiaoying, have been with you all my life. I have suffered so much. I gave birth to four sons and three daughters. I washed clothes and cooked for you. How do you treat me?"
"What's my attitude? It's because you're always making trouble." Li Pingwang was startled and immediately started to curse more arrogantly.
"Tell me, what's going on with the money?" Chen Xiaoying's heart was pounding in her chest all the way.
Li Pingwang is a fool. He refuses to say anything. Maybe he is the one who caused this.
Mom and Dad started arguing again.
The third brother, Li Hongqiang, said: "You two are both old, and you are still quarreling. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
The second son, Li Hongjian, also advised: "Mom, don't be angry. My dad is old, don't make him sick."
The fourth child, Li Honggang, continued to look here and there, rolling his eyes but saying nothing.
Seeing that both of them were actually speaking in their father's favor, Chen Xiaoying immediately became furious and scolded the second and third children: "Who is making a fool of yourself? It's your father who is the thief, and he didn't let me know."
