Today is the day Ye Li returns home, and Zhuang Shihong has been waiting at the gate of the compound early in the morning.
Ye Chunwang also came out with a bowl of rice, squatted beside Zhuang Shihong in his cloth shoes, and looked towards the entrance of the alley while eating.
"Mom, do you think my sister and brother-in-law will bring back a bunch of stuff when they come back to visit us?"
Zhuang Shihong was also thinking about this matter, but she was more concerned about how Ye Li's illness was and how long he could live!
The longer Ye Li lives, the longer she can rely on her.
"I hope she is a child with a conscience, who can see how difficult our family is and prepare more gifts when she visits her parents' home." Zhuang Shihong murmured to himself.
As the mother and son were talking, Ye Li appeared at the entrance of the alley, pushing Jiang Xun.
Ye Chunwang had sharp eyes. He saw the couple at a glance and immediately stood up excitedly.
What made him even more excited was that Ye Li did not return home empty-handed, but was carrying a pile of heavy things in her hands.
...
...
"Mom, look! Look!"
Zhuang Shihong also saw it, and a satisfied smile instantly appeared on her tense face: "She still has some conscience!"
After saying that, she went up to him with a smile.
"You guys are here! I was thinking you two weren't coming today!"
"Why do you think we won't come?" Ye Li asked her back.
Zhuang Shihong laughed dryly twice: "Just said it casually...I just said it casually."
Seeing that his wife was not enthusiastic about her mother-in-law, Jiang Xun smiled faintly and called out, "Mom."
Zhuang Shihong quickly agreed, but his eyes kept moving back and forth on the thing in Ye Li's hand.
She saw Ye Li carrying two bottles of wine, two bags of melon seeds, two bags of sour tri-color fruit candies, and two bags of hemp flowers.
She looked all over these things but didn't see anything valuable.
Yesterday she saw Aunt Liu in the yard drinking the malted milk that her daughter brought back as a gift, and Uncle Zhang using the half pound of meat his daughter bought to make delicious meat dumplings.
She hoped that Ye Li would bring her something good today, but she didn't expect that she got nothing.
These things were neither good nor bad, they just did not satisfy her.
Seeing that Zhuang Shihong's face was as good as before, but because of the presence of her son-in-law, she restrained herself a little.
"Come in." She turned around and called Ye Chunwang, "Stop eating and help your sister carry her things!"
Ye Chunwang responded, put his bowl on the stone block at the door, and ran over.
He raised his hand to wipe his mouth, and stretched out his hands to Ye Li: "Sister, give me the things."
Ye Li smiled and said, "No need, it's heavy, I'll just carry it. I'll give you food anyway."
There is food to eat, but no work to do, which is great.
Ye Chunwang was very satisfied: "Then let's go home."
After entering the compound, the neighbors saw Ye Li coming back and gathered around him.
"Ye Li is back! He looks well!"
"Ye Li, you should not overwork yourself now that you are married. You should take care of your own health."
"Sister Li Li, you are so beautiful! My mother said that Sister Li Li is the most beautiful woman in this courtyard. She also told me that it is a pity..."
"Little kid, stop talking nonsense. Go away..."
Ye Li grew up in this courtyard and is very familiar to the neighbors.
Everyone knew that she was "seriously ill" and that she was returning home today, so they all gathered around her to ask about her well-being.
Only her own mother and brother didn't see her, only the things she brought.
"Thank you all for your concern." Ye Li smiled and looked down at Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun understood what Ye Li meant. He unwrapped the candies and melon seeds he had brought and distributed them to the neighbors in the courtyard: "Thank you all for taking care of Li Li. These are our wedding candies and melon seeds. Everyone, have more!"
The neighbors felt relieved after hearing this. Seeing that the couple really wanted to share their joy, everyone became more polite.
"Hey! Go away!" Ye Chunwang couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to stop the neighbors. "What are you doing? This is the return gift my sister brought. It's for my family! If you divide it all up, what will my family eat?"
For a moment, the neighbors looked a little embarrassed.
Ye Li smiled and said, "Ye Chunwang, don't mess around! You'll have to eat some! These melon seeds and candies are from your brother-in-law and I as a thank you to our neighbors. They have nothing to do with you."
"That's right."
"Look at you, how can a grown man like you be so stingy? You're not even as generous as your sister!"
Zhuang Shihong stood aside with a stern face, looking at Ye Li with some anger.
She held back her anger and wanted to see what Ye Li was planning to do.
When Second Aunt heard the excitement outside, she naturally couldn't be left out.
"Hey hey hey! Ye Li is back! Why didn't you tell me earlier? How could such a good thing be without your second aunt!"
Second Aunt's arrival made Ye Li laugh.
"Second Auntie!" Ye Li grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it into her hand, whispering to her, "I'll go see you later."
The second aunt was a shrewd person. She knew Ye Li had something else in mind when she heard it.
"Okay! I'll wait for you!" The second aunt grabbed the candy and walked out first.
The neighbors in the yard divided up the things that were redistributed and returned to their homes.
Zhuang Shihong stood in front of his house and looked at Ye Li angrily: "You are quite capable! You have no place to spend your money, right? If you think you have too much money, you can give it to me or to your family! What's the matter with you wasting it outside?"
"That's right! Sister, did someone kick your brain?" Ye Chunwang yelled at her angrily.
"You've got your head kicked by a donkey!" Ye Li cursed back without any hesitation, "Remember your identity, and you'd better be careful when talking to me next time."
"You are such a good guy, Ye Li. Now that you are married to a man, you feel that someone is backing you up, right? Don't think that I dare not hit you now. You married this cripple who can't even stand up. Do you still expect him to protect you? Ha ha!" Ye Chunwang started cursing, and his curse was extremely ugly.
Jiang Xun’s pain is that he can’t stand on his legs.
As the saying goes, don't hit people in the face and don't expose their weaknesses when scolding them.
What’s the difference between what he did and slapping Jiang Xun in the face?
"Shut up!" Ye Li's blood boiled, he raised his hand and slapped Ye Chunwang hard in the face.
"You! You hit me again! I'm not done with you!" Ye Chunwang got angry and waved his fist to hit Ye Li.
Zhuang Shihong stood aside without saying a word. In her heart, Ye Li, the unfilial daughter, deserved to be severely punished.
Before Ye Chunwang could swing his fist, Jiang Xun grabbed it.
His handsome face was clouded with gloom: "She is your sister! You can't hit her!"
"What's your business! Let me go!" Ye Chunwang struggled, trying to break free from Jiang Xun's hand.
"Ye Li married me, so she is my woman! If you scold her, you are hurting her. I will not allow you to hurt my woman!" Jiang Xun's eyes darkened and he exerted some strength in his hands.
He was a soldier and he exercised all year round, so he had great strength in his hands.
Although he has been paralyzed in bed in recent years, he has never given up exercising his upper body.
Ye Chunwang felt as if his wrist was about to be broken by someone, and he cried out in pain: "Let go, let go!"
"Do you still dare to scold your sister?" Jiang Xun raised his eyes and looked at him coldly.
