Seeing that Li Qiuxiang had finally awakened, Li Qiumei finally felt relieved.
The two sisters continued chatting while they were busy frying the crispy pork.
"Qiumei, I've visited Leilei and Dandan a few times, and they seem to like Hong Ling very much.
Alas, you have no conscience, whoever gives you milk is your mother.
You've worked so hard to raise me, and it's all in vain."
"Sister, why are you going to see them? These two ungrateful bastards won't appreciate a single bit of your kindness."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xiaopeng and Yang Huaihua came back.
They actually brought Qian Lei and his sister here as well.
"Mom, mom, brother and sister come over here."
"What's going on?" Li Qiumei asked Zhou Xiaopeng with a frown.
"Aunt, we met the two of them shopping with that aunt on the street.
When they heard you were back, they came looking for you."
Qian Lei and his sister have already started eating the fried crispy meat in the pot with their hands.
Li Qiumei snorted coldly when she saw that the brother and sister were not dressed as cleanly as before. It seemed that Hong Ling was not taking care of them as attentively as before.
Qian Dan grabbed a few and put them in her pocket while eating. Seeing that no one said anything to her, she grabbed a few more and put them in her trouser pocket.
This ungrateful woman has always loved to eat and take more since she was a child. Li Qiumei was too lazy to care about her, but she insisted on bumping into her.
"Mom, my grandma said that she will buy us new clothes when you come back. I want to wear new clothes." Qian Dan yelled incoherently with a mouth full of crispy meat.
When Li Qiumei heard this, she said angrily, "I burned my feet and used all the money to see a doctor.
Where can I get the money to buy you new clothes?
If you want new clothes, ask your dad to buy them for you."
After saying that, he reached out and pulled Qian Dan over: "Are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost? You eat and save wherever you go."
Pa pa pa, Li Qiumei slapped Qian Dan's butt several times.
Qian Dan burst into tears and Li Qiuxiang hurried over.
"Dandan, stop crying and spit out the meat in your mouth quickly. Be careful not to choke."
Chandan stopped crying, she chewed the meat in her mouth and swallowed it.
Then he opened his mouth and burst into tears, and began to roll on the ground.
Li Qiuxiang was about to pull it out when Li Qiumei stopped her.
"Sister, don't worry about it."
Li Qiuxiang lowered her voice and said, "Qiu Mei, I bought a new set of clothes for each of them and originally planned to send it to them in the evening.
Otherwise, you can take it and say you bought it.
After all, we can’t let outsiders gossip about us.”
Well, fine, after the Chinese New Year, she will buy a house in Beicheng, and ask her sister to go to Beicheng to find her during the Chinese New Year in the future, so that she won’t have to run into these people when she comes back.
Li Qiumei guessed that at this time, those gossipy women should have gone home to cook.
But to be on the safe side, she took off her woolen coat and trousers, changed into Li Qiuxiang's flowery cotton jacket and blue cotton trousers, took off her hat and put on a flowery headscarf.
A typical rural daughter-in-law, Yang Huaihua laughed so hard that she fell over.
"Qiumei, why do you have to make yourself like this?"
Li Qiumei ignored her and pulled at her clothes hard. Li Qiuxiang was shorter than her, and when she wore the clothes, she always felt a chill on her lower back.
Li Qiuxiang said to her: "Don't pull it anymore, it won't get longer if you pull it anymore, be careful not to tear it.
Otherwise, you can go back to the shop and get your old clothes to wear."
Li Qiumei was too lazy to run.
"Forget it, just make do with it. I'll be back soon anyway."
Yang Huaihua muttered, "How can someone in brocade clothes travel at night?
You have to let them know that you are living a good life, so that they won't dare to bully you.
If I dress like this, I’ll probably make them laugh their heads off.”
Li Qiumei gave her a glare and said, "I'm wearing this for the gossipy women outside the gate to see.
They will sympathize with you only when they know that you are not having a good life.
If they know you are doing better than them, they will feel bad and then they will make up stories about you and slander you in all kinds of ways."
To be honest, Li Qiumei is really afraid of them, so it’s best not to meet them.
Li Qiumei lifted Qian Dan up from the ground and said, "Come on, hold your new clothes. I'll take you back."
When Qian Dan heard that there were new clothes, she stopped crying and happily followed Li Qiumei holding the clothes.
As the mother and her two sons arrived at the entrance of the alley on West Street, they saw the black woman coming towards them.
"Qiumei, you're back?" the black woman called out.
Without waiting for Li Qiumei's consent, the black woman ran back, shouting as she ran: "Big Mouth, Pockmarked Woman, don't be in a hurry to break up.
Wait a minute, Qiu Mei is back."
When Li Qiumei heard this, she realized that it was over and she had to catch up with the trend again.
She had no choice but to move forward.
"Oh, it's really Qiu Mei who's back!" Ma Dazui shouted in a loud voice.
"Auntie, Sister Wang, you are all here." Li Qiumei greeted them quickly.
A group of women began to look Li Qiumei up and down.
After a moment, Li Qiumei saw sympathy and compassion in their eyes.
Li Qiumei sent the brother and sister away first: "Qian Lei, Qian Dan, you two go back first."
Qian Lei stood outside the door and shouted, "Auntie Hong Ling, open the door quickly."
Sister Wang pulled Li Qiumei aside and said, "Qiumei, I heard you burned your foot in Beicheng. Is it feeling better now?"
"Sister, I'm much better. Who told you that?"
Ma Dazui quickly said, "That's what Songsong's grandmother said."
Sister Wang held Li Qiumei's hand tightly and said, "You didn't come back for Qian Lili's wedding.
We asked about it, but that old lady Chen Cuizhen not only didn't say anything, she also cursed us out of all sorts of nonsense.
Later, Songsong's grandmother found out that you had gone to the hospital to treat your foot injury and had not yet been discharged."
Li Qiumei deliberately said that her foot injury was very serious and she had to change several hospitals before it was cured.
After that, she casually asked, "By the way, when did Lili get married?"
"It seems to be some date in September?" Ma Dazui scratched his head.
That is, Qian Lili got married ten days after she came back from the blind date in North City.
Huh, I’m afraid of missing out on this marriage.
Several women began to talk about Qian Lili.
Ma Dazui said quickly: "Qiumei, Qian Lili's marriage was too sudden.
I wondered if she was just like Qian Jiaojiao, forcing someone to marry her even though she was pregnant."
Ma Zipo quickly added: "I also think that Dazui's guess is almost right.
I heard Chen Cuizhen bragging that even Qian Lili's mother-in-law is a working woman.
With such good conditions, why would you choose someone from the countryside?
The only possibility is that either Qian Lili was pregnant and forced him to marry her, or there is something wrong with that man?"
Sister Wang also came over and said, "Qiumei, let me tell you, the man Qian Lili is marrying now doesn't look as tall or good-looking as the previous one.
But he has a job and a good family background.
But why would he marry her?
Chen Cuizhen kept saying that she married Qian Lili because she was attracted by her birth date and horoscope.
Bah, I don't believe what this old woman said. I also think what Big Mouth said is more reliable."
