It seems that Chen Cuizhen did not tell the truth. The man was a second-married man with a child.
No wonder these women are so envious and jealous.
Hong Ling opened the door, and Qian Lei and his sister went in without looking back.
Sister Wang pointed at the backs of Qian Lei and his sister and said, "These two children were also deceived by this vixen.
Qiu Mei, don't be sad, when they grow up and become sensible, they will naturally kiss you."
Li Qiumei pretended to be sad and said, "Oh, it's not the children's fault, it's my fault for not being able to do it. I spent all the money on treating my foot injury.
During the Chinese New Year, I could only buy them two sets of clothes each."
Everyone comforted her: "Qiu Mei, the child was awarded to their family, and buying clothes for them is already good enough.
You were severely burned, but your family didn't even bother to visit you. This family is truly heartless and ungrateful."
"Qiumei, I see Qian Jinshu is limping when he walks. This is called retribution in this life."
Li Qiumei liked to hear this.
Hong Ling opened the door again and stuck her head out to take a look.
Seeing Li Qiumei standing still, he retracted his head and closed the door.
Bah, Ma Dazui spat.
"This vixen's mother really wants money over her daughter.
At such a young age, he was sent to the Qian family to serve the whole family.
In the past, Wu Meiping and Qian Lili helped out, but now she is the only one left to do housework and take care of two children, and is scolded by Chen Cuizhen all day long.
I think this vixen will be tortured to death by this family sooner or later."
Li Qiumei was afraid that if she stayed for too long, the Qian family would come out and talk to her again, so she said goodbye to everyone and left.
The voice behind her still expressed sympathy for her.
Alas, these women don’t even take a break during the Chinese New Year. They are so dedicated to gossiping.
Li Qiumei was walking forward hurriedly when she heard someone calling her.
When she turned around, she saw He Yuanzhou and her grandmother standing at the street entrance not far behind her.
"Aunt, you're back?" He Yuanzhou trotted forward.
"Yeah, I'm back."
After not seeing each other for a few months, He Yuanzhou has grown at least a head taller and looks much more energetic.
Zhou Lanzhi also came over with a cane.
"Qiumei, I finally found you! Is your foot feeling better?"
"It's all right now, Auntie. Have you come to see me?"
Zhou Lanzhi nodded and said, "I went to the tailor shop to look for you. The boss said that your feet were burned and you went to another place for treatment.
Later when I went to look for you again, they said you had quit your job.
Then I couldn’t get any more information about you, and I was worried that I would never see you again in this life.”
Li Qiumei couldn't help but sigh when she saw He Yuanzhou holding a thin piece of pork belly in his hand: "Auntie, it's New Year's Day, you don't have to save money.
Didn't you take out the money on the deposit slip?"
Zhou Lanzhi shook her head: "Qiu Mei, we are used to a hard life, and we are very satisfied as long as we have enough food to eat.
If we save a little, we can use it for a few more years. We are fine. Look, Zhou Zhou has grown taller and fatter, and I am also in high spirits.
Qiu Mei, come celebrate the New Year with us."
Li Qiumei declined politely: "Auntie, have you been living with He Jun in Beicheng these past few months, or have you been living alone in your hometown?"
Zhou Lanzhi sighed and found a place on the street to sit down.
"Qiumei, Zhang Xiu'e was sentenced to five years in prison.
After divorcing her, this unfilial son He Jun started to complain that he was ashamed to face people and was embarrassed to go to work. He wanted to take a leave of absence without pay and refused to listen to any advice.
Later, he completed the procedures for unpaid leave and quietly ran away.
He left me, an old woman, in the North City.
It's been several months, and there's no news. We still don't know whether he's dead or alive."
Li Qiumei was surprised. She thought He Jun was just talking, but she didn't expect him to really run away.
"What about her daughter?"
Zhou Lanzhi snorted: "When we divorced, He Jun promised that if the child lived with Zhang Xiu'e, he would give 20 yuan a month in child support.
The woman and her family probably thought it was a good deal, so they signed the contract.
It was agreed that her grandparents would help take care of the child, and the child support would be given to the two elderly people.
Unexpectedly, He Jun turned around and ran away, and Zhang Xiu'e's parents sent the child to me.
I can't even support myself, how can I support her?
Later, the factory and the street office stepped in and the child was still raised by Zhang Xiu'e's parents.
The factory gives a subsidy of a few dollars every month.
Zhang Xiu'e's parents would come over and ask them to give the house to their daughter.
You heard He Jun talk about this house. He said he wanted to leave it for Zhou Zhou and me to live in.
Even if I die, Zhou Zhou will still live there."
Zhou Lanzhi paused for a moment: "Qiu Mei, it's not that I'm cruel.
That girl was taught badly by Zhang Xiu'e. She has never called me grandma since I came to the city.
She called me a beggar and a flower woman.
He even spat at me and covered his nose because he thought I smelled bad.
If I hadn't been afraid of being laughed at for a man in his sixties arguing with a child of six or seven, I would have beaten her up long ago.
I don't think I have the ability to teach a granddaughter like this well.
I don't believe she can get better either.
So I just ignored her.
In the past few months, I have been living in the house to prevent Zhang Xiu'e's parents from occupying it.
On weekends, Yuanzhou comes back to accompany me.
On weekdays, I just walk around the community.
It's not the New Year, and Yuanzhou is on vacation, so we just came back."
Li Qiumei didn't expect that He Jun would be such an irresponsible person.
