Lin Xiaoyu found that her mother was looking at her feet, so she retracted her toes out of shame.
This action made Old Lady Li feel sad.
"The shoes don't fit me well. I didn't tell mom when they got torn."
Lin Xiaoyu whispered: "I said that."
A month ago, she told me that her shoes were broken. Mom said she knew about it. A few days later, she went to the store to buy some shoes. She thought they were hers and wanted to open them excitedly. Mom said with a straight face, "Don't touch them. They belong to your older brother."
I bought it for my brother to wear for his wedding.
She was angry, thinking that her mother only cared about her two brothers and not her. She had said that her shoes didn't fit her feet and were broken, but her mother only remembered to buy shoes for her brother and not for her.
Out of spite, she didn't mention buying shoes again, waiting to see when her mother would find out that it was time to buy her shoes.
Old Lady Li: “…”
The bus came, and Mrs. Li took Lin Xiaoyu's hand and got on the bus, and bought two tickets to the state-owned store station.
When Lin Xiaoyu saw that her mother was going to the state-owned store instead of returning home, she thought that maybe she wanted to take her to buy shoes.
I started to test, "Mom, shall we go home?"
Mrs. Li: "Go home and buy you a pair of shoes from the state-owned store first."
…
When she walked into the compound holding the shoes, the smile on Lin Xiaoyu's face was still there.
Seeing her daughter so happy, Mrs. Li was happy and sad at the same time.
"Shuping is back. I hope she's okay." When Aunt Wang saw the mother and daughter coming back, she walked over to check on them.
Old Mrs. Li shook her head. "It's not a big problem. I was just so angry that my blood pressure went up. The doctor gave me a transfusion and let me observe for a night, and then I came back."
"You were sent to the hospital yesterday, I know. Your old Lin gave Liu Qin and her brother enough money and compensation, and coaxed Liu Qin into coming home."
Old Lady Li sneered, "I can think of it."
"Your eldest daughter-in-law has gone back to her parents' home with her children because your eldest daughter-in-law got more betrothal gifts and wedding gifts than her, and your eldest son went with her." Aunt Zhao, who was washing clothes at the washing table in the yard, saw Aunt Li wiping the water on her hands and walked over to say.
"Look at her like that. If you two can make up the betrothal gift and the money for getting off the bus, she will come back."
Old Lady Li snorted coldly, "If you come back, then come back. I will invite you there."
Aunt Zhao looked at her in surprise, "You are so tough now. In the past, whenever your eldest daughter-in-law was angry and took the child back to her parents' home, Guodong would go to invite her. That time, you went to invite her with the gifts."
In their compound, only Old Lady Li is such a cowardly mother-in-law.
As for the other one, the one who made his daughter-in-law obedient.
Old Mrs. Li sighed, "I used to think that everything would be fine if the family was harmonious. As long as the family was harmonious and the children were well, it would be okay for me, as a mother, to suffer a little grievance and hardship. But I have paid so much, and except for Xiaoyu, who among them has ever cared about me?"
Everyone nodded. Indeed, she was like that yesterday. Xiaohei didn't come back from the hospital, and Lin Jianshe and the others didn't think of going to the hospital to check on the situation.
Old Lady Li: "I finally understand. The better you treat others, the more they think you deserve it and think you are cheap. I will be cheap again in the future."
Aunt Wang nodded and said, "That's how it should be."
"Oh, Guodong's mother is back." Mrs. Lai, whom Mrs. Li hated the most, came out to pour water. When she saw Mrs. Li, she shouted in a shrill voice.
"Guodong's mother, I'm telling you, you really should have made such a scene yesterday. They just made a scene to cheer up the mother-in-law, and you should have been patient even if you were happy. You made such a scene and offended the new daughter-in-law, and made your son hate you, and it also hurt the relationship between you and Lao Lin. In the end, you still spent so much money to marry her, it was really worth it."
This old lady Lai is 66 years old, which makes her one of the oldest ladies in the courtyard. She is stingy and likes to take advantage of others. She also likes to take advantage of her seniority and act like an elder and preach.
Old Mrs. Li rolled her eyes and ignored her. It was none of her business.
"I'll go back first." Old Mrs. Li said to Aunt Wang and the others and went straight home.
When Mrs. Lai saw that Mrs. Li ignored her, she got angry and pointed at Mrs. Li's back and said to Aunt Wang and the others, "Look, I was trying to give her some advice for her own good, but she still ignored me."
Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhao looked at each other, rolled their eyes, and turned around to go home.
Old Lady Lai: “…”
When Old Mrs. Li walked into the house, she saw Old Man Lin sitting on a chair reading a newspaper.
"Dad." Lin Xiaoyu shouted.
Lin Yongnian snorted coldly and did not respond.
Lin Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue, walked to her bed in the corner with the new shoes in her arms, and placed the shoes at the foot of the bed.
The Lin family's house has two bedrooms and a living room. Originally, Lin Yongnian and his wife slept in one room, Lin Guodong and his brother slept in one room, and Lin Xiaoyu slept in the living room.
Later, Lin Guodong got married and Lin Jianshe moved to the countryside. Lin Guodong and Lin Xiaoyu still slept in the living room.
When Lin Jianshe came back, he changed the small bed in the living room into bunk beds. Lin Xiaoyu slept on the lower bunk with a curtain, and Lin Jianshe slept on the upper bunk.
When Lin Jianshe was about to get married, the old couple gave up their bedroom and built a partition in the living room, but Lin Xiaoyu still slept in the living room.
Old Mrs. Li didn't even look at Lin Yongnian. She walked straight into the small bedroom separated from the main room, bent down and took out a box from under the bed.
After opening the box, there were only over 800 yuan left in the box that originally had 1,000 yuan.
She took out all the money in the box, wrapped it in a handkerchief, opened the closet and stuffed it into the pocket of the trousers she had just put on.
Lest Lin Yongnian's dead body be given to the eldest son's wife.
Lin Yongnian had heard Aunt Zhao and the others calling Shuping a long time ago, and he deliberately took an old newspaper to read, waiting for the old woman to come into the house and talk to him. If she had a good attitude, he would not argue with her about what happened yesterday, but he did not expect her to come into the house like this.
Lin Yongnian was so angry that he put down the newspaper in his hand. She had made such a scene yesterday, bringing shame to their family and making a fool of themselves. She even scratched his face in front of others, and she still wanted to bother with him.
Seeing that her father was angry, Lin Xiaoyu didn't dare to say anything and cleaned up the house silently.
After changing her clothes, Old Mrs. Li came out and saw her daughter quietly cleaning up. In this house, apart from her and Xiaoyu, no one else would take the initiative to clean up.
Even though there are so many people at home and they are all free, she has to stay to clean up for Xiaoyu. Old Mrs. Li suddenly felt that she had taught her daughter to be too sensible.
Such a sensible Xiaoyu is the next me.
It's not wrong to say that Xiaoyu is the next me, because in the previous life, Xiaoyu married the wrong person and suffered for the family and children. She married such a useless man but didn't leave. She exhausted herself at the age of ten.
Thinking of how Xiaoyu's previous life was, Mrs. Li felt distressed.
"What are you cleaning up? Is there no one at home? Is it necessary for a child like you to clean up? You're almost high school, and you still remember to study hard. Go read." Old Mrs. Li pushed Lin Xiaoyu.
In her previous life, she remembered that Xiaoyu's grades in her freshman and senior year of high school were quite good, but she didn't know why, but her grades dropped in her junior year of high school.
In the second semester of her senior year, she even skipped school and became friends with Zhang Tiejun. Regardless of their opposition, she insisted on marrying him, starting her happy marriage life.
In this life, she must ensure Xiaoyu's studies, and also prevent her from falling in love with that bastard Zhang Tiejun again.
College students born in the 1980s are still very popular, and most of them have stable jobs after graduation. If Xiaoyu can also get into college, her future life will be much easier.
