But the situation before her made her feel a surge of inexplicable anger.
Daddy was slumped on the ground. Mom pulled the blanket from Old Lady Li's hands and said with red eyes, "Mom, the doctor said that your child's dad's leg can be cured. He just needs to take good care of it for a while, and he can continue to work in the fields in the future."
"Yueyue bought this quilt because she was worried that her father wouldn't sleep well at night. Mom, please don't take all of it."
"Get lost. I don't even have new quilts. How are you going to match them? I'm taking both quilts with me. One set is for me and your father, and Meihua will take the other set to town for the third brother and his wife."
Zhou Meihua stood by and listened to her mother-in-law's words, and immediately a big smile appeared on her lips.
He stepped forward to support Old Lady Li and said pretentiously, "Sister-in-law, what mother said is right. Dad and Mom are old, so what's wrong with covering the bed with new bedding? Mother didn't even mind that you covered the bed with it all night. You should be content."
"In my opinion, you should have taken action last night and sent the bedding to your parents' room, so that your mother wouldn't have to ask you for it."
After Zhou Meihua finished speaking, she tucked her hair behind her ears and rolled her eyes at Li.
Li Mengyue stood at the door. She really didn't want to start an argument. It was just the bedding she bought for her parents and brother yesterday.
At the same time, I was also disgusted by the shamelessness of Old Lady Li and Zhou Meihua. I really didn't expect that there would be such shameless people in the world.
She must find a way to get rid of this family. If she continues to live with such a family, she can't guarantee that she will have much patience and will not be able to help but take action.
"cough."
Li Mengyue figured out the whole story, coughed dryly, and went to the yard with the basket on her back.
Old Mrs. Li snatched the quilt from her daughter-in-law and was about to go to the room when she suddenly heard a sound that frightened her.
Sure enough, seeing Li Mengyue coming towards her, and perhaps because the wound on her face was still aching slightly, Mrs. Li quickly threw down her bedding and ran away.
Zhou Meihua was so proud that she could get a new quilt without spending a penny, but it turned out that her mother-in-law was so poor.
But seeing the gloomy faces of her father and his new daughter, she did not dare to step into the minefield, fearing that she would be beaten. She found an excuse and quickly slipped away.
When Mrs. Li saw her daughter coming, she immediately got up from the ground and held Li Mengyue in her arms.
You know, when she got up in the morning and saw her daughter was not in the room and the bed was neatly made, she was scared to death.
Just when she wanted to run out to look for the child, the child's father persuaded her, saying that his daughter knew the situation at home and she was willing to come back. He said that his daughter did not dislike them and that she probably just went out for a walk and would come back when she was supposed to.
On the other hand, if their daughter doesn't want to live here, wouldn't it be difficult for her if they go out to find one?
After hearing what the prime minister said, Li became even more panicked, but she also took it to heart. Instead of going out to look for her daughter, she hid her feelings and started working.
But she didn't expect that her mother-in-law would start to take the new bedding, which was bought by her daughter. She didn't want her mother-in-law to take it, so they had an argument.
Fortunately, the daughter arrived in time. If she had waited a little longer, she might not have been able to snatch the quilt from her mother-in-law.
After being hugged by her mother, Li Mengyue felt that her mother was trembling, so she raised her hand clumsily, patted her mother's back, and said softly, "Okay, it's okay."
Li also knew that she shouldn't lose her composure in front of her daughter, but she was really afraid that her daughter would die and never come back. She really couldn't bear the pain of losing her daughter again.
Li Mengyue stepped out of her mother's arms, took off the backpack, and said to Li: "Mother, look what I got from the mountains.
Make some soup with these wild vegetables and mushrooms. The little goat has lost too much blood and will not survive, so I'll leave some for you and Dad to replenish your bodies. You can save the pheasant for the next meal."
When Mrs. Li saw that her daughter brought so many things, she was not happy at all. Instead, her face turned extremely pale in an instant, without a trace of blood.
"Yueyue, you...did you go to the mountain?"
Li Mengyue then realized that something was wrong. Seeing that her mother seemed frightened, she couldn't help but say, "Yes, it was all done in the mountains."
"Yueyue, can you promise your mother that you will never go to the mountain again?"
Li Mengyue knew that as long as she lived in the village, she would inevitably go up the mountain in the future. So she didn't rashly agree, but instead asked, "Mother, you may not know my true self. The mountains pose no threat to me."
"No, Yueyue, listen to what mom says. The mountains are really too dangerous. Your dad almost couldn't make it. Mom is scared. Please don't go, okay?"
Seeing her mother trembling with fear, Li Mengyue knew that her father's accident in the mountains had caused her mother great psychological trauma, causing her to be extremely afraid whenever she heard about going up the mountain.
In order to calm her mother down, Li Mengyue had to temporarily agree: "Mom, calm down first. I won't go, okay?"
Seeing that her daughter agreed, Mrs. Li calmed down. She then took her daughter to check her from head to toe. Seeing that she was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, I haven't eaten since this morning and I'm really hungry. Can you please go and cook for me?"
Hearing her daughter say she was hungry, Li quickly picked up her daughter's backpack and poured out everything inside.
I found some wild vegetables, mushrooms, and eggs, and prepared to make mushroom soup for my daughter and boil two eggs to fill her stomach.
She didn't dare kill the little goat. You know, since she married Li An, although she worked a lot, she had never killed a chicken, let alone a little goat.
"Yueyue, don't eat the little goat yet. I'll ask your father to take care of it first, and then we can eat it in the evening, okay?"
Li Mengyue knew that it would take time to eat the little goat, so she immediately nodded in agreement.
While Li was taking the ingredients to the kitchen to cook, she took a knife and carried the little goat, preparing to go to the village river to clean it up.
When the twins came to collect pig grass, they saw their elder sister carrying a little goat and a knife. The two brothers put the basket of pig grass in the yard and immediately got up and followed.
"Sister, where did you get the lamb?" Li Hao couldn't hold back his temper and asked directly.
"Oh! Sister is lucky. She picked it up in the mountains and didn't waste time catching it."
When Li Mengyue faced her brother's question, she did not give a perfunctory answer, but answered it seriously.
"Really? Sister is so lucky."
When Li Hao heard that his sister was picking up trash, he jumped for joy.
After arriving at the river, Li Mengyue found a place with few people and began to process the lamb.
