Chapter 130 I don’t know
Xu Lihua was suddenly named, and she felt embarrassed when everyone looked at her. She smiled awkwardly.
“I heard this from Zhengdong. I am a soft-hearted person and I can’t bear to see him being wronged. Zhengdong, you have to talk to everyone and don’t let people think that I wronged Jiang Yu.”
Everyone’s eyes returned to He Zhengdong, making him lower his head nervously and stare at his toes.
He was indignant in his heart, but he didn’t think of making a big deal out of it.
It was only when He Tingyue happened to hear it that he realized that things were out of control and had developed to this point.
"I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but I found that Zhengdong seemed to have a big misunderstanding of me. My brother came to give me fish today, and he said that Ah Ye came to ask for money. This is really a bit harsh. He is a child, but my brother suffered a lot when he was young. In my eyes, he is also a child, and I don't want him to be wronged."
Everyone looked in the direction that Jiang Yu pointed, and saw the fish in the bucket.
He Zhengdong was stunned and looked at the fish in the bucket without blinking.
Grandmother exclaimed: "This fish is really big. It took a lot of effort, right? Who would ask for money to send such a big fish?"
She was indescribably envious in her heart. In this era of food and clothing shortages, who doesn't want to eat meat.
Although fish meat is not as oily as pork, it is at least meat.
Xu Lihua rolled her eyes twice, her eyes fell on Lin Hongxia's ugly face, and she laughed.
"Hongxia, look, we are both sisters, why doesn't your Jiang Ting have one?"
Jiang Ye said in a calm voice: "Aunt Xu, you don't have to provoke me all the time. My brother-in-law found a school for me and let me stay in the city to study, so I am naturally closer to my elder sister."
Xu Lihua was very unhappy: "Who is provoking me? I am just curious."
Lin Donghua sneered and said: "What's there to be curious about? Whoever treats him well, he will treat them well. Isn't this how human relations work? This shows that this child is loyal and a good child who knows how to repay kindness."
Jiang Yu looked at He Zhengdong and said in a cold voice: "Now you know that my brother is not here to beg for money."
He Zhengdong's face was burning, as if he had been slapped.
But the rebellious and awkward teenager valued his self-esteem the most, and it was not so easy to make him bow his head.
"What do you say about the rabbit? If you didn't eat it secretly, why is the rabbit gone?"
He Feiyan, who had just arrived home not long ago, couldn't help her temper and slapped him directly.
"Lilan, tell him where the rabbit is!"
He Lilan whispered: "The rabbit is with Master Li in the cafeteria. It has a baby. Master Li said that if the little rabbit is raised, it can be used as a snack for the uncles and aunts in the second factory. My sister-in-law is very good. She also made cotton-padded clothes for me and my brother, and chose the color I like."
With such a good sister-in-law, she didn't understand what else to pick.
He Zhengdong's lips trembled slightly, and his fingers quietly pinched the hem of the clothes, using so much force that he almost tore the thin fabric.
The different looks from everyone seemed to be able to tear off his face.
The tangled emotions in his mind slowly pulled his thoughts back to their original place.
He seemed to have really done something wrong.
"I... I don't know, you didn't tell me anything."
He Feiyan sneered, "You don't know, why can we know? Why does Lilan know? Lilan is your biological sister, can she be closer to your sister-in-law than you are?"
He Lilan hung her head in despair. When she first came to He Tingyue, she was thinking at that time that she had never dreamed that she could have such a good life.
Later, when her sister-in-law came into the house, with Xu Lihua's instigation, she didn't sleep well for several days.
However, life after having a sister-in-law was better than before, as if she was soaking in honey all day long.
"Brother, you prefer to listen to Aunt Xu, but not to me."
Xu Lihua immediately scolded: "Lilan, what are you talking about? What does it have to do with me?"
He Lilan asked in confusion: "Didn't Aunt Xu say that my sister-in-law would drive me and my brother out of the house after she came in? She also said that someone from our hometown would come to pick us up soon, and asked us to be disobedient so that my sister-in-law would not like us, and we could take the opportunity to make a big fuss."
There are many reasons why He Zhengdong became like this.
He was afraid that he and his sister would be sent back to their hometown and live a life of being abused by others.
In addition, he was at a sensitive and thoughtful age at that time.
And Xu Lihua was whispering in his ear every day, saying how bad Jiang Yu was.
He Lilan was open-minded, but he thought more than her.
Thinking about how good Jiang Yu was now, he wondered if he was just pretending, and if he would wait until they let down their guard and then send them away.
Old Master Duan was furious, "Xu Lihua, you can't control your mouth, can you? It's always you, you get itchy when you don't cause trouble for a day!"
Xu Lihua quickly explained, "I didn't say that, He Lilan, you little girl, you have learned to lie at such a young age!"
He Lilan frowned, wrinkled her nose and snorted.
"I can lie, but Tong Yuan can't. Tong Yuan always follows my brother around, and he heard it too."
Xu Lihua had bad intentions, and she had already discovered it.
Tong Fang came over, but without Tong Yuan.
"Aunt Xu did say those things. Tong Yuan mentioned them to me several times. I originally thought that she might be concerned about Zhengdong, but I didn't expect that things would get so serious."
In fact, he now felt that there was no need to make such a fuss. Xu Lihua had no bad intentions. She was just concerned about the child.
But after saying this, he didn't dare to speak out his thoughts.
Xu Lihua still cried out for injustice, and pulled He Zhengdong to ask him to speak for her.
He Zhengdong kept silent. He had complicated emotions in his heart, and he almost wanted to be torn in two. How could he have time to pay attention to her?
He Tingyue said in a deep voice: "You are already fourteen years old. You are not as ignorant as Tong Yuan. You must learn to distinguish right from wrong and not let others lead you by the nose! If I wanted to send you and your sister away, your grandfather and uncles from your hometown would come to me many times. Even your mother came to ask me for money. When did I mention it to you?"
He Zhengdong was shocked and trembled: "They came?"
Old Master Duan sighed, "I came here, but your eldest brother stopped me. Zhengdong, you don't trust your sister-in-law, which means you don't trust your eldest brother, which is really disheartening."
He Tingyue traveled thousands of miles to the old squad leader's hometown. He was obviously not in the right place, and he endured everyone's spitting, but he insisted on taking the two children to take care of them.
At first, many people speculated that he was doing it for the old squad leader's pension.
But Old Master Duan knew the inside story. The pensions had been divided up by those people in his hometown. He Tingyue had been entangled with them for a long time before he got back one-third.
Not only did he not use the hundred yuan, he also put a few hundred yuan into it and saved it, waiting for the brother and sister to grow up and give each half.
All of this was written down in black and white, and Mr. Duan was made the witness.
