If Li Xiangdong could still let people run wild in his home these days, then he would have wasted the last few years of his life.
His words startled Aunt Zaohua, but Yan Guodong reacted quickly. He glanced at Li Xiangdong and immediately grabbed his mother, saying, "Let's go home, Mom. Don't cause trouble at other people's homes..."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiangdong's eyebrows immediately shot up.
No wonder this mother-in-law dared to bully Zaohua and Xiaolei so blatantly!
Come to think of it, if it weren't for her son Yan Guodong and her unwavering devotion, how could Zaohua's mother-in-law be so self-righteous!
"What are you doing? Going home? Going home to beat people up, curse at people, and insult people again?!"
Li Xiangdong took a step forward, closing in on Yan Guodong.
Li Xiangdong was a full head and a half taller than Yan Guodong. He was upright with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, like a bamboo stalk, which made Yan Guodong look thin, short, and wretched.
"You're a grown adult in your thirties. Your mother barged into someone else's house without even asking what happened, insulted your wife, and then threw mud at them. And all you did was casually tell her to go home! If you had any brains at all, would you have handled the situation like that?"
"Or is it that your mother said something you couldn't say, that you and your mother are a pair of snakes and rats!"
"Um?!"
Li Xiangdong narrowed his eyes, his gaze as cold as ice in the dead of winter. His single "hmm" made Yan Guodong's heart tremble.
He avoided Li Xiangdong's gaze and looked pleadingly at his wife, Chen Zaohua. In his opinion, this whole thing was caused by Chen Zaohua. If she could speak up and help him out, Li Xiangdong wouldn't be so angry and wouldn't target him like this.
To everyone's surprise, Chen Zaohua, who was always understanding, didn't look at him but instead looked out the window!
Yan Guodong clenched his fists involuntarily, his gaze towards Chen Zaohua filled with resentment.
Seeing him winking and making faces right under his nose, Li Xiangdong felt even more disdainful.
What is that?!
A grown man, all he does is instigate his mother and make his wife take the lead while he hides behind and pretends to be innocent.
Hmph, if this aged Longjing tea were to fall into the Baiyang River, the entire Huichuan County would be able to drink green tea!
"I'm asking you! What are you looking at other people for?"
Li Xiangdong emphasized, "Or do you think my house is a place you can come and go as you please, a place where you can run wild as you please?"
Yan Guodong's legs trembled slightly, and his pleading gaze involuntarily turned to his mother again.
It's true that mothers love their sons the most. Receiving her son's pitiful look, Aunt Zaohua's maternal instincts immediately kicked in. She pulled her son behind her back and said with a forced smile:
"Xiao Dongzi, your third sister and I have been neighbors for so many years, she calls me aunt! I only came to your house to find my daughter-in-law, is it really worth you being so unreasonable?"
The more she talked, the more convinced she became of herself. "Don't tell me I didn't do anything at your house! Even if I did, I'm a guest from afar! Is this how you treat your guests? Is this how you talk to your elders?"
Seeing her aggressive demeanor, Li Xiangdong couldn't help but laugh in anger. Just as he was about to speak, Li Ping spoke up.
"Oh, who invited you, guest? And whose elder are you?"
"Are you surnamed Li or Zhao? Or do you take my third brother-in-law's surname, Hong?"
"You came to my house like a madman, grabbed your lover the moment you walked in, and then said that the money your daughter-in-law returned to my second brother was stolen. Have you lost your mind?"
"You illiterate fool, you don't know anything. Today I'll teach you a lesson. Your behavior is trespassing and defamation. Both crimes will be punished, and you can go to jail, do you understand?"
Li Ping was like a little angel of justice, standing there and chattering away.
Li Xiangdong inwardly praised his sister, saying that the criminal and civil law books he bought for the family were worthwhile.
Now you can see the trick, right?
They can also apply what they've learned to intimidate others.
Seeing that the Yan family mother and son didn't believe her, the little angel of justice curled his lip indifferently and said casually, "We can have the police explain it to you and see if what I said is right."
The mother and son of the Yan family turned pale with fright.
Finally, it was Yan Guohui who personally brought his sixth uncle, Yan Huigang, to pick up the mother and son.
Yan Guohui and Yan Huigang apologized profusely. Yan Huigang, an honest old man, almost knelt down before Li Xiangdong.
Li Xiangdong naturally wouldn't make him kneel, but just looking at his wife and son, he knew that this man wasn't a reasonable person either.
"Uncle, nowadays marriage is a matter of free choice, and men and women are equal. Since you're married, you have to live a good life together. I don't need to tell you this; everyone should understand it, right?"
Yan Guohui nodded repeatedly, "That's right! That's right!"
“Our county has just been named a National Civilized County, so we can’t tolerate any cases of mothers-in-law abusing their daughters-in-law! Besides, our village rules and regulations also prohibit husbands from abusing their wives or parents-in-law from abusing their daughters-in-law.”
After saying this, Li Xiangdong glanced at Yan Guodong casually and asked Yan Guohui, "Uncle, there isn't anyone like that among the staff at your brigade's aquatic product base, is there?"
Yan Guodong really couldn't hold on any longer, and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Did Li Xiangdong get the captain to fire him?
Seeing the Yan family of three change color, and then looking at Sister Zaohua who remained silent and tightly hugged Xiaoleizi, Li Xiangdong sighed inwardly.
He has done all he could. Whether he can stand on his own two feet in the future is up to Sister Zaohua herself.
Days slip by, like fish swimming in water, creating a ripple that quickly disappears without a trace.
Li Xiangdong stayed at home for half a month, studying with Guo Haiguang and Li Jinshan how to care for clivia.
Using fermented farmyard manure, soaking shriveled soybeans in water, soaking apple and pear peels in water, and even burying eggs in the pot of clivia, Li Xiangdong still managed to keep the clivia half-dead.
Seeing the clivia withering away, Li Jinshan and Guo Haiguang were so anxious that large blisters appeared around their lips and their voices became hoarse.
Li Xiangdong also ended up looking disheveled.
It seems that making a fortune from clivia is not so easy!
In the past two weeks, Zhou Hongsong and his team have called to share some good news.
First, Xu Yunfeng mobilized many aunties and older women to spread the secret that the Japanese wanted to steal their ginseng cultivation in the forest.
The news spread like wildfire, and now everyone knows.
The common people already harbored the most basic hatred for the Japanese. We finally succeeded in the war of resistance, but before we could enjoy a few good days, these little devils came to steal our ginseng cultivation techniques!
no!
We must show the same spirit as the War of Resistance against Japan when dealing with the Japanese devils!
You want ginseng? Fine, then come and buy it at a high price!
