At the door of a roadside store, Hu Lanying and Li Guofu looked at Li Qiumei's back in silence.
They just heard clearly the conversation between Li Qiumei, her mother and her two children.
Hu Lanying murmured to herself, "I can't believe she doesn't even want her own children. How could she be so cruel?"
Li Guofu sighed: "I don't know if this girl is possessed by evil spirits, she was quite filial in the past few years.
"Alas, she has changed since you drugged her. Did the drug damage her brain?"
Hu Lanying rolled her eyes. This old man had blamed her like this many times over the years.
Li Qiumei came to Li Qiuxiang's house. Lao Zhang's mother and his youngest son and his family had already come from the guesthouse.
The two sons of Lao Zhang’s younger brother seem to be still of school age. Why are they here today when it’s not the weekend?
Li Qiumei just asked, "What grade are these two children in?"
Lao Zhang's sister-in-law said with a smile: "The eldest is in the sixth grade, and the second is in the fourth grade.
Not wanting to see his uncle getting married, he asked for two days off for both of them to come together."
Li Qiumei saw that everyone in the Zhang family was still sitting and watching TV, while Li Qiuxiang was busy in the kitchen alone.
She was too lazy to go in and help. Li Qiuxiang, who was just eating for free, could handle the work anyway.
"Sister, where did you put my luggage?"
Li Qiuxiang ran out of the kitchen holding a scallion in her hand: "It's in my room."
When Li Qiuxiang opened the door of her room, Li Qiumei saw three snakeskin bags next to her luggage.
She took a curious look, and Li Qiuxiang smiled and told her, "This is the luggage of my mother-in-law and sister-in-law."
Li Qiumei was shocked and lowered her voice: "They came to the city for a banquet and brought so many clothes and pants.
Are they planning not to leave?"
Li Qiuxiang was stunned for a moment: "No way? I didn't ask."
Li Qiumei snorted: "Don't you think it's strange?
Logically speaking, you haven't married into the Zhang family yet, so anyone with any shame would be embarrassed to live with you.
But not only did they move in, they also brought so much luggage with them.
I think they want you and Xiaopeng to move in with Old Zhang, and then the old lady and her youngest son will live in your house."
The green onion in Li Qiuxiang's hand fell to the ground.
"Qiumei, why are you saying exactly the same thing as mom?"
Li Qiumei felt indescribably tired looking at her brainless elder sister.
"Li Qiuxiang, you are already in your thirties. Not only do you have to pay for your marriage, but you also have to give up your house to the Zhang family.
You serve them like an old nanny all day long. Tell me, where has your brain gone?
Let me remind you, once these people from outside move in, you won’t be able to chop them out even with a kitchen knife.
By then, it will be you and Zhou Xiaopeng who will be squatting under the bridge."
Li Qiuxiang's face turned pale: "Qiumei, are you saying that Zhang Zihua is plotting against me?"
Li Qiumei picked up her luggage and said, "I don't know whether Zhang Zihua is plotting against you or not!
But those people outside are definitely planning to occupy your house."
Seeing Li Qiumei about to leave with her luggage, Li Qiuxiang grabbed her and said, "Qiumei, are you leaving?"
"I'm not leaving. I'm just taking my luggage to the shop and coming back."
Li Qiuxiang breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as the two sisters came out of the room, they heard Zhang Zihua's sister-in-law yelling at the two children.
"Xiaowei, Xiaoyong, go back to your room and do your homework.
If you two don't study hard, your uncle won't want you to go to school in the city anymore."
The two sisters were shocked when they heard this. Zhang Zihua wanted to send these two nephews to the city to go to school?
Seeing that the two children were indifferent, the sister-in-law had no choice but to call her husband: "Ziming, please let your son go into the house to do his homework.
How can they catch up with their classmates in the city in their studies if they watch TV every day?"
Li Qiumei deliberately asked, "Are they both going to school in the city?"
The sister-in-law happily told Li Qiumei: "My eldest brother said that the teaching quality in the countryside is not good, so he asked Xiaowei and Xiaoyong to go to school in the city."
Li Qiuxiang frowned: "Have you found a school in the city?"
"Sister-in-law, my brother is looking for it and said it's no problem."
Li Qiuxiang threw the scallion on the table and followed Li Qiumei out.
"Qiumei, Zhang Zihua never told me these things.
I think what you said is true. That family just wants to occupy my house.
What do you think I should do now?"
Li Qiumei glanced at her and asked, "Do you still want to marry Zhang Zihua?"
Li Qiuxiang didn't say anything for a long time.
"Then let me ask you, have you and Zhang Zihua obtained a marriage certificate?"
Li Qiuxiang shook her head: "He has classes in the morning. We agreed to get the marriage certificate in the afternoon. He will be on marriage leave starting tomorrow."
Li Qiumei was delighted: "It seems that you still have a choice.
Sister, did Zhang Zihua give you the promised betrothal money?
Li Qiuxiang shook her head: "His mother is sick and all the money has been spent.
Zhang Zihua said he wanted to lend me money, but I figured if he did, I'd have to pay him back later, so I told him to forget it.
Li Qiumei glared at her with a look of dismay: "Alas, needless to say, you have been tricked by Lao Zhang.
So does he keep his salary now, or does he give it to you?"
"He took it himself."
Seeing Li Qiumei glaring at her, Li Qiuxiang quickly said, "Zhang Zihua's mother is in poor health. He sends most of his monthly salary home, and the rest is only enough to support Zhang Xiaoxi."
Li Qiumei was speechless: "Sister, before we got engaged, I asked you, you said Zhang Zihua's mother was sick and would not live for more than two years, and that it would pass if we just endured it.
When we got engaged, I saw that Zhang Zihua's mother was full of energy and vitality, and there was no problem for her to live another 10 or 20 years.
At that time, I reminded you and advised you many times.
But you firmly believe what Zhang Zihua said, that when his mother dies, he will give his salary to you.
Now, Zhang Zihua also plans to bring his two nephews to the city to go to school.
That’s 100%. Zhang Zihua will also pay for the two children’s schooling in the future.
In other words, when you get married, you will use your salary to support Zhang Zihua and his daughter, and also take care of them.
Let Zhang Zihua use his salary to support his mother and his brother's family."
Li Qiuxiang lowered her head, and Li Qiumei also became angry: "Sister, if this is the case, wouldn't it be better for you to take Xiaopeng with you?"
Li Qiuxiang bit her lips tightly, her heart was struggling fiercely.
Li Qiumei walked forward angrily with her luggage in her hand, and Li Qiuxiang followed her at a trot.
The two sisters came to Li Qiumei, and Li Qiuxiang lay down on the bed with her legs spread out.
She took the pillow and covered her face with it, then sat up.
"Qiumei, I've decided not to get a marriage certificate with Zhang Zihua for the time being."
