Xia Yulan also took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and slipped a few Big Unity banknotes into Old Lady Xu's hands.
Old Mrs. Xu wanted to return it, but when she saw her daughter making faces at her, she put it away.
She knew that her daughter was living a better life now, and this was money for her and her old man's retirement.
After Old Lady Xu took her people away, Wu Aijun, Wu Pinggui and others also took their families back one after another.
Only Li Xiaoling, her mother and daughter were left at home, and Li Shuhua took Li Xiaoling back into the house.
Zhao Yanli and Zhao Yanxia were playing outside with Li Yuanbing and the others.
Li Shuhua took out the dowry box, and of course, also took out the letter left by Shao Xue.
I also explained to her why I showed it to her now.
"The day before my mother died, she probably knew her time was up, so she gave this thing to me.
Mother said at the time that whoever has the ability to take the things in here back will own them. I told your second brother about this at the time. The reason I didn't tell you was because the things in here are too big. I'm not afraid that you will lose your composure, but those people in your husband's family..."
Although Li Shuhua didn't say it explicitly, Li Xiaoling knew what her elder brother meant.
"The things in here are really good, very good, but with our current status, we can't hold them at all. If they really fall into our hands, it will be a disaster. You should have seen a lot of what the people in the bullpen have been living like in the past few years. Many of them have lost their families.
If our father hadn't written to your second brother, I would not have told you this.
We are already living a good life now, there is no need to desire things that do not belong to us.
Of course, if we can ever get these things back, we three brothers and sisters will definitely share them equally!"
After Li Shuhua finished speaking, he felt relieved. He had never thought of keeping these things for himself.
When Li Xiaoling heard Li Shuhua talking about their mother, she shed tears secretly. When she thought about her current situation, she burst into tears.
She didn't expect that since her mother was a daughter of a wealthy family, she was also a descendant of a wealthy family. She was not ignorant. She knew the principle that everything will turn around when it reaches its extreme, and everything will decline when it reaches its peak.
"Brother, our mother died early, and I have been with you and sister-in-law since I was a teenager. Sister-in-law has been very kind to me. If it weren't for sister-in-law, I would have been tortured by that woman by our father's side. Who knows what would have happened to me!
Don’t even mention you telling me about this today. Even if you don’t, I have nothing to say!”
After Li Xiaoling finished speaking, she started crying again.
As soon as Zhao Yanli and Zhao Yanxia entered the house, they saw their daughter crying. The two sisters also started crying. Originally, she was crying alone, but now she was being hugged by her mother and the other two sisters.
Li Shuhua became furious when he saw his sister like this.
My own little sister was so kind, cheerful, eloquent, and always smiling before she got married.
When they first got married, their life was pretty good, but in just a few years, this person was tortured into this state by them.
Seeing the two children crying sadly, Xia Yulan quickly took out a few pieces of candy and finally coaxed the two children to stop crying. However, the two girls held the candy in their hands and refused to eat it. They just kept sobbing.
He immediately cursed the Zhao family from head to toe in his heart. They were a family of beasts. It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, but they even tortured their own flesh and blood. They were really worse than beasts.
After coaxing the two of them, Xia Yulan asked Li Xiaoling directly what kind of injustice she had suffered and asked her to tell them, and they would take care of it for her as her elder brother and sister-in-law.
But Li Xiaoling just didn't say anything and just kept crying.
Li Shuhua was a little annoyed. It would be fine if he said something, but she just kept crying without saying anything. How could she not get angry?
Zhao Yanxia's personality is stronger than Zhao Yanli's. When she saw that her mother and sister didn't say anything, she spoke up.
"It was my grandmother. She said that my mother couldn't give birth to a son, so they wanted to find another wife for my father, so that he could give birth to a son and bring him over for my mother to raise!
They also said that my sister and I were girls and money-losing goods, and that they were going to sell us off as child brides, and use the money from selling us to support my father's son!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Who exactly is this Zhao family?
Is she still a human being? This old woman is too arrogant!
Li Xiaoling's marriage was arranged by Li Daniu.
I get angry when I think of Li Shuhua. Zhao Yubo's father and Li Daniu were both workers at the honeycomb coal factory. They became familiar with each other after a few interactions.
When they have nothing to do, the two of them like to drink and brag together.
Once when the two were drinking, Zhao Yubo's father joked about marrying his children to Li Daniu's. At that time, Li Daniu was already drunk and his mind was completely unclear, so he agreed directly.
In this way, he found a son-in-law for himself in a confused manner.
Even after Li Daniu sobered up, he didn't feel he had done anything wrong.
At that time, Shao Xue had passed away long ago, and Li Xiaoling lived with Li Shuhua and his wife, so he told Li Shuhua about this matter.
Of course Li Shuhua strongly opposed it. This was the first time he rebelled against Li Daniu, not for himself, but for his sister.
But Li Daniu saw that the betrothal money had been collected and had gone into He Zhaodi's pocket, so it was impossible for him to get it out of her pocket.
Later, Zhao Yubo often came to the house. The young man looked good and hardworking, but he had a bit of a bad temper. He didn't have any other major problems.
The only bad thing is that Zhao Yubo has a mother who is famous for her fierceness in the area.
Xia Yulan treats Li Xiaoling as her own sister, and of course she doesn't want her to have a mother-in-law like this. They are all afraid that Li Xiaoling will be wronged.
Li Shuhua and Xia Yulan were still trying to find a solution for her, but Li Xiaoling and Zhao Yubo had already fallen in love with each other after a few interactions.
No matter how reluctant Li Shuhua and Xia Yulan were, they would never do anything to break up the couple.
In this way, Li Shuhua and Xia Yulan reluctantly married Li Xiaoling to Zhao Yubo.
In the first few years of their marriage, the two lived a sweet life, but after Li Xiaoling gave birth to two daughters, things gradually changed.
Especially in the past two years, when I heard that Zhao Yubo's younger brother also got married, and his wife was Zhao's niece, Li Xiaoling's life became more and more difficult.
Li Shuhua really didn't want to see her sister cry anymore, so she stared and asked, "Why didn't Zhao Yubo come today?"
By this time, Li Xiaoling was tired of crying and her emotions had calmed down.
It should be said that my tears have dried up and can't flow anymore.
He lowered his head and answered Li Shuhua's question: "His mother didn't let him come. She said there was work for him to do at home!"
