The fat old lady spat at Hu Lanying: "Bah! I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you."
Hu Lanying's face flushed: "You...you city people only know how to bully us country people.
It is obvious that what I said is the truth, but you would rather believe those two ungrateful people than me.
You guys are blind, I guess the ones you raise will be ungrateful."
An aunt took Li Qiuxiang's hand and said, "Niece, it's already difficult for you to raise the child alone. If you give the money to them, how will you and the child live?
You should also learn from your sister and be tougher."
Li Qiuxiang nodded: "Thank you, Auntie! I understand."
Hu Lanying spitted and walked forward: "She just followed her sister's example, that's why she can't live a good life and got divorced.
The grass is always greener on the other side. Now your sister is married, what about you?
Alas, in the entire Beishan County, who else is like these two sisters, both divorced?"
Hu Lanying was certain that old ladies these days were prejudiced against divorced women and wanted to turn the tables.
Li Qiumei sneered: "Who told you to marry my sister into the mountains just for the 300 yuan betrothal gift?
My brother-in-law has a child with that woman outside. If we don’t divorce him, does he have to stay in the mountains with the child for the rest of his life?
Don't forget, when we got divorced, you wouldn't even let us into the house."
Li Qiumei decided to go all out and told Hu Lanying why she got divorced. Hu Lanying's eyes widened.
She couldn't believe that Li Qiumei had no taboos about these things at all.
Perhaps, she never understood her daughter.
Hu Lanying now regrets it very much and thinks she should not have come here earlier.
At least they still have Li Qiuxiang to ask for money. Now that they have fallen out in public, I'm afraid even Li Qiuxiang won't pay any attention to them.
After hearing what Li Qiumei said, the women watching did not despise them, but instead sympathized with the two sisters.
"Alas, the fact that you two sisters met such a family is really related to the old couple.
If I had checked you out earlier, neither of you would have ended up like this."
"Didn't you hear what her sister said? She'll marry whoever offers the highest bride price.
I've only ever heard of parents marrying their daughters from the mountains to people in the plains. This is the first time I've heard of parents marrying their daughters from the plains to people in the mountains.
This old couple really opened my eyes.”
Several more women gathered around to persuade Li Qiuxiang, and without exception, they all told her not to pay attention to Hu Lanying and the others.
Seeing that it was almost done, Li Qiumei said to everyone: Dear aunts, aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law, today I would like to ask you to help witness that my sister has no relationship with those two anymore.
If they come here again to cause trouble, please help report it to the police."
The fat old lady turned around and called to the security guard standing by: "Old Ge, please look carefully. Don't let any cats or dogs in from now on."
Hu Lanying picked up the basket and left without looking back. Li Guofu quickly stood up and chased after her.
He was penniless and left Hu Lanying, but he could not move forward.
Li Qiumei thanked her neighbor again and again before carrying the stool back to the house.
Zhou Xiaopeng was so happy that he spun around in circles: "Now, grandpa and grandma can't come and take all our money."
Li Qiuxiang took a tube of ointment and said, "Qiumei, let me apply some medicine on you.
Oh my god, Dad was really rough with it, it's all bruised."
Li Qiumei smiled and asked her, "Look at him, does he look like someone who's sick every day? He's clearly faking it!"
It was only the day before the Chinese New Year that Cheng Zhiqian brought Li Qiumei and her son back to North City.
"Qiumei, I've asked Zhishan to clean up the room in advance.
I also asked her to prepare some dishes for the New Year in advance, and I will buy whatever is needed when the time comes."
Li Qiumei was holding the child and felt a little worried: "I don't know if my sister and Xiaopeng have arrived yet?
The last time I went to visit my aunt, I forgot to leave her a key."
Cheng Zhiqian comforted her: "It's okay, we will be there soon."
"Zhiqian, is Cheng Zhiwen coming back for the New Year?"
"He's back. He should have arrived yesterday. Zhishan and Zhiheng are both on vacation now."
When they returned home and opened the door, they were both stunned.
The dust on the table was clearly visible and there was a strong musty smell in the room.
"Cheng Zhiqian, this is what you said has been sorted out.
Look, the corners are moldy, and there are footprints everywhere on the ground."
Li Qiumei opened the bedroom door while holding the child. There was a lot of dust in the room.
"Cheng Zhiqian, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have waited for you and would have come back early to clean up myself."
Cheng Zhiqian sighed: "Alas, I didn't expect that Zhishan clearly promised to do something well on the phone, why didn't she come to help?"
"Cheng Zhiqian, since they don't want to come to my house, then you can go over and celebrate the New Year with them.
I live with my sister and them."
"Qiumei, stop talking in anger.
You take Yuanbao and go out to wait for your sister. I'll clean up."
Li Qiumei angrily took the shopping bag and went downstairs with her child on her back.
The family hasn't bought any vegetables yet, so she has to go buy some first.
When Li Qiumei came back with a big bag of vegetables, Cheng Zhiqian and his four brothers were cleaning the house.
Cheng Zhiming was wiping the table with a rag. When he saw Li Qiumei come in, he quickly threw away the rag in his hand.
"Sister-in-law, you're back. Where's Yuanbao?"
Li Qiumei leaned over and asked, "See if he's awake."
"Sister-in-law, his eyes are open."
Cheng Zhiwen came over with a mop in hand: "Sister-in-law."
Li Qiumei responded, and Cheng Zhiheng also came over and greeted her.
Cheng Zhiqian helped Li Qiumei untie the straps and took Yuanbao down.
"Yuanbao, let's get to know these three uncles."
Seeing the four brothers teasing Yuanbao, Li Qiumei went into the kitchen and took out the dishes and put them away.
"Brother, I found that Yuanbao looks exactly like you. Give him a hug."
Cheng Zhiming hugged Yuanbao and smiled happily: "Yuanbao, I am your uncle. From now on, you will play with your uncle and I will protect you."
Cheng Zhiheng said in a disdainful voice: "Yuanbao, you must not follow him, otherwise your IQ will be lowered."
Cheng Zhiqian stood up and said, "Zhiming, take care of Yuanbao, Zhiwen, and Zhiheng, and then clean up the room next door."
Cheng Zhiheng cursed: "My sister is really something. If she had told me earlier, my second brother and I would have come here early to clean up.
It would have been done by now.
I'm impressed by her. She was able to completely forget such a big thing."
Cheng Zhiwen asked him, "You've been so anxious all day, do you have any appointments?"
Cheng Zhiheng said as he cleaned the windows: "I have an appointment with a friend. We are going out for dinner and then go to see..."
Li Qiumei's screams were heard in the living room.
