Chapter 29: Li Mengyue is "on the mind" (2/2)



Li Mengyue took the bowl and chopsticks from Li and prepared to eat.

Seeing that the other party ignored her, Li Jiajia felt ashamed and wanted to use the same trick again, and knocked Li Mengyue's dishes to the ground again.

But this time Li Mengyue was prepared, not only did she fail to let Li Jiajia succeed, but she fell on her butt instead.

"Woo, grandma, who is this person? Send her away. I don't want her to stay at home."

Li Jiajia didn't get what she wanted, so she threw herself into Old Lady Li's arms and cried.

But she cried for a while, and her grandmother didn't help her vent her anger immediately as she would have done in the past.

You know, every time she came back from town and bullied Li Rou and Li Qiao, no matter whether it was her fault or not, grandma would stand on her side without saying a word, and would punish Li Rou and not allow Li Qiao to eat.

It was obvious that I was at a disadvantage today, but my grandma not only did not punish the "murderer", she also asked her to apologize.

"Jia Jia, why don't you apologize to your cousin right away."

"What! Let me apologize, grandma, you don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"

When Li Jiajia heard what her grandmother said, she made a sound of disbelief and touched Grandma Li's forehead with her hand. She thought her grandmother had a fever, otherwise why would she ask her to apologize.

Seeing her granddaughter publicly discredit her, Mrs. Li's face immediately turned red with embarrassment. If her son hadn't called her into the room before dinner and told her about the landlord Huang, she definitely wouldn't have let her precious granddaughter suffer any injustice.

But now she still had to pick up the little hoof, and she couldn't let the second brother's family notice anything, so she had to smooth things over.

"Jia Jia, you were wrong today. Not only did you sit in your cousin's seat, but you also broke her dishes and chopsticks. You should apologize."

"I don't."

In the past, whether Li Jiajia went back to the village or stayed in town, whenever she suffered injustice, it was almost always her who suffered the injustice on others.

This time, she was even asked to apologize to her cousin who appeared out of nowhere, but she refused to do so even if she died.

Zhou Meihua saw her daughter crying out of anger and felt a little resentful towards her mother-in-law.

What's wrong with my mother-in-law? Why doesn't she chase that little bitch away?

On the day the twins were born, she was afraid that her husband would be waiting anxiously at home, so she did not stay in the old house and went back to town.

She originally thought that her mother-in-law would definitely take action and would not tolerate her second daughter coming back to recognize her relatives, but she didn't expect that she didn't drive her away and was still living well at home.

Looking at the food on the table today, the living standards in the old house have improved a lot during the days she was away. After all, no matter what happened in the past, meat, vegetables and eggs would never be seen on the dinner table.

The key point is that the minced meat was replaced with a piece of meat, and there was egg custard. There were actually four bowls on the table. Looking at the egg custard in the bowls, Zhou Meihua estimated that there were four eggs based on her experience.

Oh my goodness, when did the old house become so rich?

That's not right. My husband has not received the fifty taels of silver required to become my disciple, so where will he get the money to buy meat and eggs?

Zhou Meihua didn't dare disrespect her mother-in-law, but that didn't mean she was afraid of her sister-in-law, Li. She hugged her daughter and said to Li angrily, "Second sister-in-law, are you just going to watch your niece being bullied?"

"Third sister-in-law, it was Jiajia who started it first. How can you blame Yueyue for this?"

Facing Zhou Meihua's aggressive attitude, Li stammered.

"You mean my daughter deserves to be bullied? For God's sake, just open your eyes and see."

Li Jian was sitting there calmly, waiting for his wife to serve him food, but he saw his wife and daughter being bullied and crying loudly, and his face looked ugly for a while.

He looked at Li and said in a bad tone, "It seems that my second brother has a broken leg and can't even control the people at home. I'm going to have a good talk with him later."

Li has always been a little afraid of her brother-in-law Li Jian, because Li Jian tried to take advantage of her more than once in private. Although she did not let Li Jian succeed, it also caused her psychological trauma.

She had never told her husband about this. Li Jian once said, "Even if she told him, it would be useless. It depends on whether Second Brother believes him or Li."

Li felt ashamed of being molested by her brother-in-law, and it was even more difficult for her to talk about it. She kept this matter deep in her heart.

And after being teased by Li Jian, every time Li Jian came home, she would never stay alone, but would always be with someone, so as not to give Li Jian another chance.

Hearing Li Jian talking to her again, Li's face turned pale with fear and she didn't dare to say a word.

Li Mengyue saw her mother's expression and then looked at Li Jian. She didn't understand why Li Jian scared her like this just by saying one sentence, so she stood up and held her mother's hand.

Li felt the warmth in her palm, and her nervous mood slowly calmed down. Now that she had a daughter as capable as Yueyue, she had nothing to be afraid of. If Li Jian dared to do anything wrong, Yueyue would definitely not ignore it.

Thinking of this, Li regained her courage and said firmly: "It's not Yueyue's fault. Jiajia should apologize to Yueyue."

Li Jian looked at his second sister-in-law, who had always been timid and cowardly, and found she dared to talk back to him. He was a little bit incredulous for a moment. Who gave her the courage?

However, when he saw the girl standing next to his second sister-in-law, he understood the problem, which was that his second brother and sister-in-law had just adopted a daughter.

It seems that mother has to seize the time and get things done quickly. As long as the person is sent to the Huang family, he can not only get some money, but also get in touch with the Huang family, and the second sister-in-law will not dare to confront him.

The most important thing is that the Huang family is one of the richest families in the entire Qingshan Town. They have a lot of money. Everyone in the town knows that the landlord Huang lives in a large house and takes in a beautiful concubine every two years.

If he could find the eighteenth concubine for Landlord Huang, he would definitely be able to make an appointment with Landlord Huang. If he wanted to spend money in the future, it would be as easy as letting Landlord Huang slip through his fingers.
