Chapter 405 Chapter 406: Sin
Li Qiuyue walked down the steps and pushed open the backyard door. She strode to the front yard, removed the bolt, and opened the gate. She looked at her brother and sister-in-law standing at the door and said unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
"Oh~" Brother Li looked at her sarcastically and said, "Now that you've become rich, you can't even recognize your brother and sister-in-law?"
"Want to sell me to the bachelor's brother and sister-in-law?" Li Qiuyue spat, "Bah!"
Brother Li glared and waved his fist, "I'm your brother, how dare you talk to me like this?"
Li Qiuyue said coldly: "How dare you~ Do you think we are still at home? You can hit me if you want! If you dare to touch me, my third child will not be polite to you!"
"See if I dare!" Brother Li was used to beating his sisters at home, so he rolled up his sleeves and walked forward to start beating them. "You are just a piece of cake even if bean sprouts grow to the sky. Don't think that I won't dare to beat you just because you are married?"
Li Qiuyue shouted: "How dare you~ I wasn't afraid of you before, and I'm even less afraid of you now!"
Brother Li was stunned for a moment, "..."
At this time, Zhou's mother also arrived. She walked to Li Qiuyue's side and looked at him with a sullen face, "Second brother Qiuyue, Qiuyue is a member of the Zhou family now. This kind of thing is not accepted in our family."
With Zhou's mother's support, Li Qiuyue looked at him angrily and said sarcastically, "That's right, you are showing off at the Zhou family."
Brother Li pointed at her angrily, "You~"
"If you can't speak, don't speak!" Seeing that she couldn't suppress Li Qiuyue, Li Ersao stepped forward and said with a smile, "Aunt Nian, please forgive me. They are used to joking with each other." Then she looked at Li Qiuyue and said, "You know your second brother is a volcano stick. He can't speak. Don't bother with him."
Mother Zhou said calmly: "I don't care how you treated Qiuyue when she was at her parents' home. After she married into my family, she became a member of the Zhou family. I can't bear to hit her!"
"Haha!" Li Ersao laughed dryly, "We all say Qiuyue is blessed!"
Li Qiuyue gave her a disgusted look and said, "We broke off our relationship a long time ago, why are you still here?"
Brother Li was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. He clenched the wooden stick in his hand, looked at Mother Zhou who was standing beside him, and did not dare to say anything more.
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Aunt Han from Fangtian told my daughter Hongxiu about a marriage proposal. We came to see the man's family and to see you. I also want to ask you to help me find out what kind of person the man is."
Li Qiuyue sneered: "Your family's affairs have nothing to do with me. Just leave now, I still have a lot of work to do at home!"
She looked at the two of them and complained in her heart, what do you think of their character? I wonder which family will be in trouble if they get your Hongxiu!
Mrs. Li didn't care about her attitude at all. "Old Four, you see Hongxing is already seventeen this year. The girls who went on blind dates all complained that we don't have a house and live in the mountains. So far, no one has come to propose marriage."
"You see, your family now has a way to make money. Sister-in-law asks you to help your nephew and help him earn some money to build three brick houses so that he can find a wife."
"Hmph!" Li Qiuyue sneered twice, "I still owe a lot of debt for repairing the house. I want to find someone to help me pay off the money as soon as possible!"
Brother Li couldn't bear it any longer and looked at her with a dark face, "Li Qiuyue, do you really think you have never begged your mother's family?"
Li Qiuyue: "I have a family with my mother and father, but now they are gone. What kind of family are you?"
Brother Li pointed at her and said, "Okay, hello! Don't come to me for help in the future." After that, he took Sister Li's hand and left.
Mrs. Li turned around and smiled apologetically, "Qiuyue, we are all siblings. Don't take your second brother's angry words seriously. I will go back and call the second brother over. Please take good care of him!"
Mother Zhou looked at her in surprise and thought: I'm already old enough, and today I finally got to see what it means to talk to yourself!
"Get lost! I'll beat you out if you dare to come!" Li Qiuyue was so angry that her face turned blue. She slammed the gate shut and squatted on the ground crying, "What sin did I commit in my previous life to have such a brother and sister-in-law?"
"It's their fault, what does it have to do with you!" Zhou's mother patted her shoulder, "Hurry up and work, so that the third child won't come down again and delay your work."
She had lived for decades and had never seen anything like the old lady of the Li family. Her grandson was the king of the family, while her granddaughter was just a maid and slave.
Fortunately, my in-laws and mother-in-law still have a conscience, otherwise the girl in the family would have been sold to the mountains long ago...
Li Qiuyue wiped away her tears and said, "Yes! Xiaolin fell asleep in the room. Please keep an eye on her while I go to work."
Mother Zhou nodded and saw the pig food on the steps. "Go ahead. I'll cook the pig food for you."
*****
Yang Chunyan and Luo Haili finished boiling the oil. Seeing that Zhou's mother hadn't come back yet, they said, "Cousin, put the charcoal in the stove. I'll put the pig food in the pot. We'll go and take a look."
Luo Haili nodded, "Yes! I don't know where my Qiaoling went with her cousin, I have to go check it out."
"They are all building a fence in the back hill. They may have gone to play in the back hill."
"Qiaoling used to stay with me and never went out to play with other kids. Now she is much more lively here."
"Xiao Ru and Jia Kang are both lively, Xiao Wen is like my second sister-in-law, she doesn't like to talk, but she is also careful in doing things!"
Yang Chunyan added some hot water to the pot, went upstairs to get some half-dried Jerusalem artichokes and put them in the pot, and then cut the vegetable leaves that Zhou's mother had sent her and poured them into the pot.
"Cousin, put two sticks of firewood into the stove."
"Hmm!" Luo Haili stuffed two pieces of green firewood into the stove, then thought about it and took a broom to clean the area in front of the stove, leaving no grass clippings, to prevent firewood from falling from the stove and causing a fire.
Yang Chunyan and her partner went to the front yard and saw that the gate was closed. They went back to check on the chickens in the pen in the woods, then went to the back hill and walked to the medicinal field. "It has rained twice and the weeds in the medicinal field have grown. We will spread the remaining weeds on the open space to fertilize the field."
Luo Haili: "Your soil is good and things can grow easily. The mountainous land over at Guangming Brigade has many rocks and poor soil, so things grow sparsely when you plant them."
She never mentioned the things about the Yan family now. She just wanted to take care of her health and earn money to repay her aunt and uncle. She also wanted to earn some money to repair two houses so that Qiaoling could go to school and learn to read, instead of being a blind person like her.
After hearing this, Yang Chunyan recalled her settlement and said, "The other day the old man talked to Secretary Xu about settlement. What happened?"
Luo Haili: "My aunt said Secretary Xu will discuss it with the village cadres and will give us a reply in a few days. Yesterday, my aunt saw Captain Zhou, and he said that the team has agreed to register us as a household."
"But there is no homestead or contracted land. If you have money, you can buy a piece of land and repair it yourself, or buy a house left by a five-guarantee household in the village."
Yang Chunyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, the most important thing now is to take good care of your body, otherwise you won't be able to do anything in the future."
Luo Haili said gratefully: "This is already very good. If it weren't for your relationship, the team would definitely not accept us. If it weren't for my aunt and the others, Qiaoling and I would be..."
Yang Chunyan patted her on the shoulder and said, "As for the matter of lending a hand, my mother always said that as long as you and Qiaoling live a good life in the future, it will be better than anything else."
Luo Haili responded seriously: "We will live well."
