When Ye Li appeared in front of Liu Hua carrying three roosters and a basket of eggs, Liu Hua was stunned.
"Good God! Where do you get all these things from?"
Seeing Section Chief Liu's surprised expression, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This was all exchanged for cloth! Section Chief Liu, is this enough for Auntie to eat?"
"That's enough." Liu Hua didn't take everything away, but left a chicken and half a basket of eggs for Ye Li. "I can't let you work in vain. No one can afford to eat these days. You can take them back to nourish yourself."
Thinking of Jiang Xun at home, Ye Li did not refuse.
"That's fine! Chief Liu, just ask me if you need it. It's not a problem to get some of this stuff now."
"Okay, thank you."
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Ye Li said, taking out a hundred yuan from his pocket. "This is the money I got from selling the cloth. I'm giving it to you now."
Liu Hua is certainly not stupid.
...
...
Ye Li gave all the money to her and asked her to deal with it.
She looked at the roll of money, thought for a moment, took out four bills, and left sixty for Ye Li: "I'll take these forty and give them to the factory, and the rest are all yours!"
“Isn’t that too much?”
"Not much." Liu Hua said, "We didn't dare to record this batch of cloth. We kept it secretly in the warehouse. We didn't dare to deal with it in a public way, for fear of causing trouble. It's good enough that you have a channel to deal with this cloth without anyone noticing. As for the money, I will give it to the factory director. It's more or less a compensation. In short, we can't let the country suffer too much loss."
Since Liu Hua said so, Ye Li nodded in agreement.
"Then I will pay the money back according to this ratio!"
"become."
It was already late when Ye Li came out of the hospital, but fortunately he caught the last bus.
Half an hour later, she got off the car at the entrance of the alley. When she was about to run back in one go, she found that Jiang Xun was waiting at the entrance of the alley.
Seeing her get out of the car, Jiang Xun rolled his wheelchair over and said, "Li Li, you're back!"
A warm current flowed through Ye Li's heart. She hurried a few steps to come to him. Her heart ached, but she couldn't help complaining: "It's so late, why aren't you waiting at home? What are you doing here?"
Jiang Xun: "Waiting for you. I can't sleep if you don't come back!"
"I'm back, aren't I?" Ye Li smiled, his eyes as bright as stars, "Let's go home."
Ye Li pushed Jiang Xun, who was holding a big rooster in one hand and half a basket of eggs in the other, and they entered the No. 9 yard.
At this time, everyone was queuing up to get water and saw the couple coming back.
Everyone's eyes were focused on what Jiang Xun was holding.
"Oh! Jiang Xun, has your family made a fortune? Why are you eating chicken and eggs?" Aunt Jiang has sharp eyes and a quick mouth. She feels envious and jealous when she sees what other people have.
Huang Xiuxiu was carrying a basin to the front yard to fetch water. Halfway there, she heard that Jiang Xun had bought another chicken, and her legs started moving quickly.
When I got to the front yard and took a look, wow, this chicken is so fat!
"This rooster must be about three or four pounds, right?" Huang Xiuxiu stared at the fat rooster, and began to think about the rooster again, "Brother Jiang Xun, this chicken is not for someone else, right?"
Jiang Xun did not reply to anyone. He knew that if he said one more word at this moment, he might get stuck here and unable to go back because of this big rooster.
Ye Li smiled and said, "This chicken is for us to eat."
"I say, can't you live like this? You have to take care of chickens and eggs, and the little money in your pocket is enough to spend." Aunt Jiang seemed concerned, but she was actually asking questions.
"Aunt Jiang, look at how worried you are! Ever since we got married, all your eyes have been on my family, right?" Ye Li said to Aunt Jiang half-jokingly.
"Look at what you said. Is there anything wrong with me caring about you? Besides, we all live in the same compound. We can't even have meat all year round, and you eat eggs and meat every day. It's inevitable that people will suspect that you make your money illegally!" Aunt Jiang curled her lips and snorted.
"Aunt Jiang, I have resettlement allowance and I have started to earn a salary. It's not that I can't even afford an egg or a chicken." Jiang Xun looked gloomy and expressionless as he said a few words to Aunt Jiang.
"Yes, yes, you are the only ones who have money." Aunt Jiang carried the basin of water she had just filled and turned back to her room angrily, "Eat, eat, aren't you afraid of eating too much and eating yourself to death?"
Ye Li raised his lips and said loudly, "Aunt Jiang, this person has his own way of living, don't you think? We just want to eat. Even if we die of stuffing, at least we can die well-fed, which is worth it. It's better than some people who are stingy and hold on to their money tightly, unwilling to buy food, and just envy others! They tightened their belts and saved for half a lifetime, but in the end, they used all the money to buy a coffin! Do you think it was a loss at that time?"
Aunt Jiang suddenly stopped walking, turned around abruptly, and stared at me with eyes as big as bells: "Who are you talking about? Jiang Xun's wife, you are cursing me to death, aren't you?"
Ye Li smiled like a flower: "How dare I? I mean, if you insist on identifying some people, I can't do anything about it!"
Aunt Jiang was left speechless by Ye Li's few words.
However, with so many people watching, she couldn't afford to lose out.
"I won't argue with you! You are a new bride who doesn't know the rules. If you do that again, I will never let you off easily! You are such an uneducated person!" Aunt Jiang pointed at Ye Li's nose and scolded.
"You are well-mannered? Then tell me, what kind of manners are you when you always point fingers at others? I just live a normal life, eat eggs and chickens, and this bothers you? Who in this compound doesn't eat eggs and chickens? Why do you keep staring at us? We don't want to make you angry, but this compound is so small, and you have to go in and out every day. You can't hide even if you want to!"
Aunt Jiang was so angry at Ye Li, but she was still smiling brightly!
The more she looked at Ye Li, the angrier she became. However, she couldn't find any fault with him, so she just stomped her feet in anger.
"Aunt Jiang, if you stamp your feet a few more times, a pit will be made on the ground."
"Yeah, yeah, you're so old, why are you so hard on children?"
"She just can't stand seeing others do better than she already does." Zhao Xingmei endured it for a long time in the house, and finally couldn't help but rush out to speak up for her daughter-in-law, "Mr. Jiang, you are short-sighted and greedy, and you blame others for eating chicken? If you have the ability, you can eat it too. If you don't have the ability, just shut up and stop talking here."
"You shrew, you tigress, I won't talk to you." Aunt Jiang didn't dare to offend Zhao Xingmei, so she took the basin and went back into the house.
Huang Xiuxiu originally wanted to take advantage of the situation, but seeing that Zhao Xingmei had already made a move, she did not dare to make a fuss and forced herself to hold back the words she had already prepared.
She fetched the water and hurried home without looking back.
"Thank you, Mom." Seeing that the old lady had helped her, Ye Li came up to her with a smile and shook the chicken in her hand, "Mom, I'll stew the chicken tomorrow for you and Dad!"
"You have a conscience." Zhao Xingmei's lips curled up, and she pointed at the chicken and asked, "Where did you get it? You must have spent a lot of money on it, right?"
"No. Mom, I have a way. Don't ask me about this matter. Anyway, if there is a bite of food for my wife, there will be a bite for you."
No matter how many holes there are, flattery will never wear out.
Ye Li can enjoy the shade under a big tree. With such a powerful mother-in-law, she must maintain a good relationship with her so that they can stand united against the outside world in the future. How exciting it is.
"Mom!" Jiang Xun said seriously, "Mom, Ye Li is a woman who lives a good life, not a spendthrift! You don't have to question her all day long, she knows what's going on."
Zhao Xingmei rolled her eyes and said, "It's true that when you marry a wife, you forget your mother! I'm speaking for my wife now!"
"I'm telling the truth."
Zhao Xingmei rolled her eyes again.
"Mom, let you cook this chicken! My cooking skills are not good enough and I'm afraid of ruining the chicken!" Ye Li took the opportunity to say.
Zhao Xingmei was just trying to please him. After hearing what Ye Li said, she immediately smiled happily: "When it comes to cooking, I have to be the one! Okay, you don't have to cook when you come back tomorrow afternoon. Just wait for the chicken and chicken soup."
"Thank you, Mom!"
This scene was seen clearly by Hu Jingjing.
She angrily drew down the curtains and said to Jiang Xi, who was sitting in the bedroom picking his feet, "Look at how biased your mother is. She just likes Ye Li so much! Ever since Ye Li came into this family, I haven't had a smooth day! Do you think she and I are in conflict?"
"Maybe." Jiang Xi said casually.
"No." Unexpectedly, Hu Jingjing took it seriously, "I have to find someone to take a look for me. I must break Ye Li's luck!"
