When Qin Ye opened the door, he saw his father slumped in bed, snoring, and the room was filled with the smell of alcohol.
He frowned, picked up the clothes on the bed and put them on his father's bed frame.
He took money out of his trouser pocket and hid it under the bed board of the bed he slept on.
This is their rent for next month. If he lets his father steal it, he can buy some alcohol.
Somehow his father found the money he hid under his pillow yesterday and wanted to use it to buy some wine.
He snatched it away, but his father beat him. He wanted to fight with his father, so he took the money and ran away.
"께ye, 께ye..."
Qin Ye turned around, thinking his father had woken up, and saw his father with his eyes closed, his mouth opening and closing as he spoke nonsense, "Dad was wrong, Dad will never drink again, and will never hit you again..."
"I won't drink anymore, Yuanyuan, don't leave, come back..."
Qin Ye's eyelashes trembled slightly, he knew that his father was speaking from the heart at this time, but this did not prevent him from looking for money to buy wine after he woke up, and hitting him again when he was drunk.
That's how he got here from 께, and that's how his mother was beaten away.
Zhang Jiao hurriedly carried her son Junjun into Courtyard No. 23. She also knew which room her mother-in-law lived in. She stood in the yard holding her child and shouted, "Mom, Mom..."
Liu Mingxiang was washing clothes in the yard. Seeing Zhang Jiao coming in with a child and calling her "Mom", she asked, "Who are you, Mom?"
When Zhang Jiao saw someone asking, she said, "My mother is Li Shuping. She moved in yesterday."
Li Shuping heard Zhang Jiao's voice and walked out of the room. Seeing her holding Junjun, she knew what she wanted to do.
"Mom." When Zhang Jiao saw her, she hugged Junjun and walked over.
"Mom, please look after Junjun. I'm almost late for work." Zhang Jiao put Junjun down and pushed him in front of Li Shuping.
Li Shuping took a step back and said, "Take care of your own child yourself, don't try to throw it to me."
Zhang Jiao looked at her in disbelief, "Mom, Junjun is your grandson."
Li Shuping: "He is your biological son first, and my biological grandson second. As a grandmother, it is my duty to help take care of him. It is my duty to take care of him."
In her previous life, Junjun was brought up by her. When he was a teenager, he was rebellious but not obedient. Zhang Jiao always blamed her for not bringing him up well and said that she was the one who ruined Junjun.
Junjun blamed her for not getting into high school, blamed her for not getting into college, and even blamed her for marrying a wife who got along well with Zhang Jiao.
When Liu Mingxiang heard this, she said in a shrill voice: "How can a grandmother take care of her grandson? Aunt Li, you are such a competent grandmother."
Zhang Jiao looked at her mother-in-law with a resentful look on her face, as if to say, "Listen to what outsiders are saying."
Li Shuping said to Liu Mingxiang in a bad mood: "If you like to take it, take it."
This is really funny. "What should I bring? It's not my child."
"That's right. He's your child, what does it have to do with you? What are you doing here?" Li Shuping said without any politeness.
Ever since she found out that she rented Room No. 5, Liu Mingxiang had been hostile to her and had no need to be polite to such a person.
Liu Mingxiang: "I, I just want to look back and speak fairly!"
"Just close your eyes if you don't see the past. Are you fair? Just speak fairly." She knows nothing about other people's affairs, and yet she wants to speak fairly. Is she qualified to do so?
"..." Liu Mingxiang is so pretty, but this is the first time she has been scolded by someone and she doesn't know how to respond.
Zhang Jiao looked at her mother-in-law in surprise. Was she so good at scolding people?
Li Shuping also felt that after her rebirth, it was as if her Ren and Du meridians were opened, and those offensive words came out of her mouth naturally, and most people accepted them.
She felt that this was also due to the fact that she watched the popular family ethics drama in her previous life.
"Take care of your own child yourself. Don't think of leaving it to me. I have my own things to do."
Zhang Jiao closed her mouth in surprise, "You're at work again, what's the matter?"
These were all her excuses for wanting to take care of the child. When Junjun was just born, she loved him like the devil and even had to sleep with him at night. Now it seems that her love for her grandson was all fake.
If she helps take care of the children, don't expect her to provide for her in her old age.
She was her own daughter, and she didn't help her mother-in-law when she needed help. Why should she provide for her in her old age?
"I do have a job, but I also need to find something to do to earn money to support my parents and myself." She is living off her savings.
"..." Zhang Jiao looked at her mother-in-law. She still had to earn money to support 께냫 and herself? She was angry with her father-in-law because he beat her at the second son's wedding. Did she want him to give in to her?
녦Why does what she said sound like she plans to live with 께냫 from now on?
Zhang Jiao finally took Junjun away. The nursery at their quilt factory had been cancelled because the factory was not doing well, so she had no choice but to send Junjun to the nursery at Lin Guodong's factory.
By the time she went to work at the quilt factory after sending her child to school, she was already nearly an hour late and was bumped into by the deputy factory director who was inspecting the workshop.
The factory was doing well, the leaders were very repressive and had good tempers. Zhang Jiao was caught in the crossfire and was criticized in front of everyone in the workshop.
Zhang Jiao had never been so embarrassed in her life. She cried so hard that her eyes were swollen. She also blamed her mother-in-law Li Shuping for this.
If she had helped look after Junjun, she would also be late and criticized.
In the morning, Li Shuping walked around and thought carefully about what she wanted to do.
If we talk about what is the most profitable thing in this era, it must be business.
Now many authorities have issued documents allowing individual businesses to operate, but many people are afraid of policy changes and are still in a wait-and-see state, not daring to take action.
Because a large number of educated youth returned to the city, they were arranged to work, and the government also allowed them to start a little business to support their families.
When she reached the entrance of the alley, Li Shuping saw a stall selling tea eggs. All it had was a coal stove, an iron pot, and a pot of eggs, and the business was starting.
Although it was just Xiaoxiao's tea egg business, Li Shuping remembered that this family selling tea eggs, which had always been looked up to by the Xiao family, was the first to move from Lihua Lane and live in a commercial house.
In this era, everyone thinks that having a stable job is respectable, while setting up a stall and hawking goods on the street is the most shameful job.
In her previous life, Li Shuping also thought so, thinking that this person still had a stable job and it was very respectable, and setting up a stall was very respectable.
After living for several dozen more decades and returning to this era, she knows that respectability is more important, making money is serious, and face is empty.
As long as you make money, those who once laughed at your stall-selling dignity will come to please you.
In fact, no matter now or in the future, people without money will be looked down upon.
"Sister Li, give me a tea egg." Zhou Cuilan, the woman selling tea eggs, said to Li Shuping with a smile.
She originally lived in Lihua Lane and sold tea eggs at the entrance of the lane. She knew many people there.
"Give me one." Li Shuping walked over, took out a dime and handed it over.
Li Shuping took the hot tea eggs and peeled them to eat while standing beside the stall.
"Sister Li, I heard that you and your husband are divorced?"
The divorce between Li Shuping and Lin Yong was the hottest news in Lihua Lane, and it should have spread everywhere by now.
She was beaten by a man at her son's wedding, which was also news, but was replaced by the news of her divorce.
"Divorced."
"Why are you thinking of getting a divorce? The child is already so sick." Zhou Cuilan didn't understand.
Li Shuping swallowed the tea egg in her mouth and said, "I've had enough. I've thought about it enough."
Zhou Cuilan said with some pity: "Actually, your man is pretty good too. He has a high salary and is good at making money. The children are all grown up. When they all get married and start their own families, you can enjoy a peaceful life. It's a pity to divorce him now."
