Mom and Dad came to the park to look for Li Qiumei.
"Qiumei, your father and I were planning to go back today.
Who knew it would be so late that the return bus would be gone."
Li Qiumei put down the tongs.
"It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so why don't you just play for two days and then go back.
Mom, how much money did Zhou Fugui give you?
Why did you take so long?"
Hu Lanying spat.
"Bah, his salary must have been spent on that bitch.
He kept procrastinating and didn't want to pay.
If I hadn’t said I would go to the factory to sue him.
He won't surrender yet!"
Li Guofu scratched his head and said, "Hey, I told my mother-in-law this morning that I was going back.
I don’t have the nerve to go back to her house now.
How about we stay in a guesthouse?"
Hu Lanying glared at him.
"You have to pay to stay in a guesthouse, what's the point of being so shameless.
Let’s just follow Qiu Mei back.
Remember not to talk nonsense."
Hu Lanying kept talking about this and that but refused to say how much money she had made.
As soon as Li Guofu took out a cigarette, he was scolded by Hu Lanying.
"Old Li, please smoke less, these cigarettes are expensive.
There are no outsiders here, so just smoke the cigarettes you roll yourself."
Li Guofu obediently put the cigarette back.
He then took out a cigarette he had rolled himself from his other pocket and lit it.
Li Qiumei was not giving up: "Did Zhou Fugui go to lend you money?"
"No, he asked the foreman for an advance on this month's salary.
I gave him forty dollars.
I asked the foreman to give him two months' advance, but he and Zhou Fugui are in the same boat.
No matter how much we try to persuade them, they just won't give us the money.
Pah, what a bunch of cunning people.
I thought I couldn't let him go like this.
Isn’t that woman’s father the workshop director?
I went to look for him, but he said he was on leave and not at the factory.
I'll go back and discuss it with Lin Cheng's mother, and then we'll go find him together.
I just don't believe that his daughter did such a heinous thing.
They just want to settle the accounts without any hesitation?
Oh, what a pity! Our Qiu Ming is still young.
Li Qiumei was puzzled: "What does this have to do with Li Qiuming?"
Li Guofu exhaled a puff of cigarette: "Why is it not related?
If Qiu Ming turns 18, your mother will definitely fight with that workshop director.
Let him get Qiu Ming to work as a worker in the cement factory.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to be the director even if he was asked to do so."
Li Qiumei felt that Hu Lanying was not only smart, but also very bold in thinking.
“Mom, why don’t you get my sister and me in there.
Wait until we both have established ourselves in the cement factory.
When Qiu Ming reaches the age, my sister and I will make sure to get him a job.
Do you think it's okay?"
Hu Lanying rolled her eyes at Li Guofu.
"Don't listen to your dad's nonsense.
That man is just a small workshop manager, how could he be so capable?"
Li Guofu muttered softly, "It was you who said that."
Seeing that Hu Lanying stopped talking, Li Qiumei followed her gaze.
"Oh my god! Her sister didn't come back earlier or later, but she came back at this time."
Li Qiuxiang ran over in surprise.
"Dad, Mom, you're here."
Li Guofu's face darkened and he slapped Li Qiuxiang twice with lightning speed.
Li Qiuxiang was confused and stared at her father blankly.
Li Qiumei quickly pulled her aside.
Hu Lanying stood up and pointed at Li Qiuxiang: "You idiot, you deserve a beating!
Who allowed you to divorce on your own initiative?"
Hearing the noise, an old lady who loves gossip has come over here.
Li Qiumei quickly pulled her mother.
"Let's go! I'm off work.
Let’s talk about it when we get home.”
When they returned to the rental house, Li Qiuxiang was caught off guard and slapped twice by Hu Lanying.
She covered her face and cried.
Hu Lanying moved a chair and sat down.
"You still have the nerve to cry?
Listen carefully to me, don’t come back to our Li family from now on.
So as to avoid being laughed at.
When a suitable man is found, remarry as soon as possible.
Live a good life and come back."
Li Qiuxiang smiled bitterly.
"My parents really only care about their own appearances, not themselves."
After waiting for Hu Lanying to finally stop cursing, Li Guofu was about to say something.
Li Qiumei quickly said, "Dad, Mom, let me take you out to eat something."
"Well, after a long day, your dad and I are tired.
Tonight, we'll just stay here for one night.
Qiu Mei, don't tell your mother-in-law that we haven't left yet."
Li Qiumei nodded.
The next morning, Li Qiumei just arrived at the park.
Her parents and sister were already waiting for her.
"Qiumei, your dad and I will be taking the bus back soon.
We are worried about Qiu Ming being alone at home.
Also, the pigs and chickens in this house need people too.”
"Okay then, you guys go back and get busy.
When you have time, come and see me and my sister.
Sister, please take my parents to catch the bus.
I'm rushing to the management office for a meeting and am almost late.
I'm leaving now."
Without waiting for them to speak, Li Qiumei trotted out of the park.
"Humph, how could she not know what Hu Lanying meant by coming to say goodbye?
I just want her to give me money.
And do you want her to hand over the money she is keeping for her sister?
It's just a dream!"
