"That's fine, that's fine. My brother is really capable now. Look how straight I am," the uncle joked.
At this time, in the field, Carrie Lam was sitting at the edge of the field chatting with the old ladies who passed by her house.
"Yue'e, your house is finally built," the old woman said enviously, carrying her hoe.
Carrie Lam was filled with questions: "What's the difference between our house and the others? Aren't all the houses in the village the same?"
"Yue'e, you are still hiding it. Everyone in the village knows that your family has a capable relative," the old woman said with a bit of sour tone.
Carrie Lam curled her lips and said, "What are you capable of? Don't listen to other people's nonsense."
The old woman snorted, "See how tight-lipped you are. We can't borrow money from your family." She rolled her eyes and left while carrying the hoe.
Carrie Lam looked puzzled.
Next to the field, Ershuang told Xu Guilan, "Wait until around ten o'clock, go back to cook and kill the chicken from yesterday."
Xu Guilan was heartbroken and said, "There's still some meat, let's make some dumplings first."
Ershuang nodded and said, "Then we'll eat chicken every day. Don't be reluctant. Second Uncle hasn't come to visit us for decades. We have to make Dad look good."
"Your elder brother is the eldest son, why doesn't he do it?" Xu Guilan muttered.
"Everyone should show their filial piety, we don't care about them." Ershuang straightened his back and looked at the sun. It was probably past nine o'clock.
Xu Guilan looked dissatisfied. "Why? He's the boss, and he gets all the benefits. You're just a coward, and the boss is partial to you..."
Li Bin listened to his parents talking and pulled Xu Guilan
"What are you doing? Don't listen to what your grandfather says." Xu Guilan sat on the ground angrily. "What am I doing? If my family had it, I would definitely keep quiet. Your father borrowed a few dollars yesterday. It seems that your second uncle and his family will be unable to leave for a while. What do you think we should do?"
"Mom, do you know that my second uncle's family has two college graduates? They are a son and a daughter from my uncle Mancang's family." Li Bin's eyes lit up.
"Two college students? Really?" Ershuang turned around and asked in disbelief.
Xu Guilan also opened her mouth and eyes wide, her face full of disbelief.
Li Bin nodded. "My uncle Tiedan said that it's not possible to have a holiday. Uncle Mancang's youngest daughter's mother just passed the college entrance examination, and his eldest son graduated several months ago and went to the south for business."
"How do you know? How come you didn't know that your dad was at your uncle Tiedan's house yesterday?" Xu Guilan grabbed her son's arm.
"Heizi told me this when I went to the fields this morning. Now everyone in the village knows about it." Li Bin guessed that his mother didn't know from the way she spoke. His mother wanted him to be successful the most. With college students around her, she had to grit her teeth and curry favor with them even when she wanted to borrow money.
"Everyone knows? Li Ershuang, why didn't you tell me? You idiot, people want to curry favor with him but can't. He is our real relative. If you give our Li Bin some advice, our children may have a bright future. You idiot!" It was the first time that Xu Guilan and her friends scolded Li Ershuang like this. She dropped her hoe and ran away.
Li Ershuang…didn't he hear about it during dinner yesterday? Or was he just not paying attention? He was starting to doubt himself.
Li Bin… “Where did my mother go?”
