Li Yutong nodded in her heart as she listened. This uncle may look inconspicuous, but he is bright-minded and can see things clearly.

Li Hongyan was said to have been moved in, and it was true. Her family had no money, but he wanted to take away the girl who was raised by others for nothing without any expression?

"Uncle, I'm uneducated and said the wrong thing. You're right. My family is in financial difficulty and it has nothing to do with you. I shouldn't complain to you." Her attitude changed quickly and she looked sincere.

Wang Jingjing's father felt that what he had just said was too much and inhumane.

"Ah." He sighed: "I dare not accept the betrothal money from your family. I will go to the credit union to get it now. You should take it away." Li Hongyan was anxious when she heard it: "Uncle, don't be impulsive. We can think of a way to deal with the money later. The two children have a good relationship. We can't ruin their lifelong happiness because of money."

Li Yutong was convinced that her aunt was really good at talking.

Wang Jingjing finally couldn't hold it in anymore. Although she was a girl from the county town and didn't farm, she had to buy even the most basic food rations with money.

She knows the importance of money best.

"Aunt, please stop saying that. What happiness or unhappiness? If you don't have money, how can you be happy? Just rely on your mouth? If you are hungry and your stomach is burning, you don't need to eat if you say you are not hungry. If you are thirsty and you say you are not thirsty, you really don't need to drink water?"

"We will have children in the future, and they can grow up without any effort. Your family has no money, so why didn't you tell us earlier? Then we wouldn't have to discuss marriage, right?"

She was so angry that she cried. They got engaged yesterday and broke off the engagement today. She was so embarrassed.

"Xiao Jing, it's not like that. I can't explain the money matter to you right away." This is the daughter-in-law, who is about to leave. Although she is angry about her attitude when talking to her mother-in-law, Li Hongyan still wants to coax her first.

"Mom, please don't ask for money today, okay? I still have money saved in the credit union. I'll pay you back, okay?" My daughter-in-law is about to run away. What's the point of keeping the money in the credit union?

As soon as these words came out, her mother Chen Xiaoying was stunned: "You, you have money?"

She was crying out in despair all day long, saying that she had no money, no money, and that she was being driven to death.

I cry and throw a tantrum, but I just don’t have any money.

She said she had no money, then borrowed money from loan sharks, forcing her parents and brothers from her mother's side to be scapegoats. She was so hard-hearted, but now she says she has money.

It's in the credit union.

Seeing her mother Chen Xiaoying's eyes wide with disbelief, Li Hongyan felt uncomfortable for a moment: "It's just not much."

After hearing this, Chen Xiaoying suddenly came to her senses and looked at Li Hongyan with an obviously guilty look in her eyes.

"Not much, how much?"

She wanted to ask for a number.

"Mom, if you come with me, you'll know. Why do you have to tell her here?" Li Hongyan winked at her and glanced at the father and daughter of the Wang family.

Chen Xiaoying understood. Was she afraid that the father and daughter would know her background and plot against her?

In order to avoid trouble from her aunt, Li Yutong remained silent.

"Hongyan, this is the last time I will trust you. If you lie to me again, I will no longer recognize you." Chen Xiaoying has been deceived too many times by her. She trusted him time and time again, but in the end, he got her even worse.

Li Hongyan didn't care. She was a living person with a husband and a son. She was over fifty years old. Unless her mother could stuff her back into her belly, she would still be her daughter.

She can't refuse it just because she says she doesn't want it.

Chen Xiaoying was called out from Wang's house by her daughter Li Hongyan.

Zhao Pengfei stayed and dealt with the questions from the Wang father and daughter.

"Let's go. The credit union is not far from here and we can walk there." Chen Xiaoying led Li Hongyan out of the alley.

Li Hongyan hummed twice, and this time she noticed Li Yutong on the side and couldn't help but scold her: "Isn't today Friday? Xiaoyu, why aren't you in school?"

"You've come here with your grandma. If you don't study hard, you should find someone to marry. You can also have another son-in-law to work for your father."

Li Yutong heard sarcasm in her disdainful tone.

It's ironic that her father has no son, and only by getting married can she have a male child to help her father.

"Aunt, I have a cold, so I asked for half a day off. Aunt, can you buy me something delicious?" she said with a smile.

Only when the children in the village are sick can they ask their parents for some delicious food, such as bread, canned food, instant noodles, eggs, etc.

Other people's aunts have treated their brothers' nephews and nieces from their mother's side as if they were their own children. Most of the time, they never return to their mother's home empty-handed, hoping that they would be nice to their brothers' children. When their brothers' wives see this, they will take the opportunity when they are not at their mother's home to take care of their mother on their behalf.

Rural people at that time were all like this.

"A daughter who is married off is like water spilled."

In the future, the people who will be in charge of her family will be her brothers and their wives. Her mother will get old one day and will have to rely on others to take care of her.

But Li Hongyan is different. Her nieces and nephews from her mother's side, from childhood to adulthood, can only get a cotton-padded jacket from her aunt on their birthdays, which is the custom. They can't expect anything else.

In her previous life, she lived to be 30 years old, and she still kept saying, "Xiao Yu, your aunt was very kind to you when you were a child. I made you a quilted jacket when you were one month old. It was filled with new cotton. I picked out the best materials from the market. You must be filial to your aunt in the future."

When Li Hongyan heard that Li Yutong actually asked her for something, she immediately frowned and said, "That's what your mother taught you. How dare you ask an adult for something? Look at your cousins. When have they ever asked your father for anything?"

"No matter how I teach you, I have corrupted you."

Chen Xiaoying was walking in front, and she thought it was not right, so she stopped and said, "How did you teach her? How did you teach her? Xiaoyu is a very honest child. You are her aunt. The child said she was sick and wanted to eat something delicious. How much can she eat from you when she opens her mouth?"

"What can she eat? In this small county town, you spend 20 cents to buy her a vegetable bun, which is also a token of your love. From childhood to adulthood, has she ever eaten a bite of yours?"

Li Hongyan blushed: "It's not that I don't want to buy it, it's just that I don't have money."

No money, no money, she always says, she has no money.

Hearing these two words, Chen Xiaoying felt anxious and short of breath.

Li Yutong took the opportunity to push the bicycle at the entrance of the alley and reconnected with He Mingliang.

"That's your aunt. She looks like a formidable person." He Mingliang did not rush to the Wang family's door, but hid aside. When he saw them come out and heard a few words from Li Hongyan, he felt that this was not an ordinary person.

It was a bit like when his uncle occupied his house. He had nothing to do with it, but he felt more justified than anyone else, which was quite intimidating.
