At this moment, Li Jun's expression changed completely.
He suddenly stood up and said, "Excuse me, I have something else to do. Happy New Year, both elders. I'll take my sister back first."
As he said this, Li Jun pulled Li Chunxiang up, but Li Chunxiang sat beside him and refused to leave, her face full of pleading for her brother.
Li Jun took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "Don't force me to teach you a lesson in someone else's house. I'll count to three, one, two..."
Li Chunxiang obediently got down from the kang and was pulled hard by Li Jun, looking back every few steps as she walked.
The old woman pulled Xingxing over and slapped the child on the butt, scolding him angrily, "Why are you butting in when adults are talking? Didn't your parents teach you that? You uneducated thing!"
Diandian ran over to protect her brother, baring her teeth at the old woman fiercely, "No one is allowed to hit my brother!"
The old man smiled at the two children and said, "Go out and play."
When Xingxingdiandian went out, Boss Sheng and his wife just came in.
"Why did the guest leave?"
The old woman ignored her son and daughter-in-law, and instead whispered to the old man smoking a pipe next to her, "Do you think Secretary Li came to our house because his sister has taken a fancy to our third son and wants to marry him?"
Zhu Jinhua turned her head and gave her lover a meaningful look.
The latter pursed his lips and said, "What's the point of liking her? The third child in our family is already married."
The old woman glared at her eldest son. "It's a new era now. Can't you get divorced after getting married? Take the daughter of Liu Mazi from our village. Isn't she divorced and going back to her parents' home for the New Year this year? What do you know? Divorce is considered fashionable these days!"
Zhu Jinhua got goosebumps all over her body and felt a chill in her heart when she heard this.
Fortunately, Secretary Li’s sister fell in love with the third brother today. If she had fallen in love with the eldest brother Sheng, would her mother-in-law force her to divorce the eldest brother Sheng?
Zhu Jinhua went out silently.
The eldest brother Sheng immediately climbed onto the kang. "Mom, please don't give me such a bad idea. Oh, you're trying to get close to Secretary Li and now you want the third brother to divorce his wife. What if Secretary Li doesn't want his sister to be his stepmother? Then are you going to throw Xingxing and Diandian out? What kind of talk is that?"
The old woman looked at her eldest son gravely, "If Secretary Li's sister really marries your third brother, you'll be able to walk all over the village. Do you think Secretary Li won't help our family? Who knows, he might even arrange jobs for you and the second son, giving you both stable jobs in the government? Then our family won't have to rely on the Li family for anything."
iron rice bowl.
No matter when, it's quite exciting.
It's undeniable that Boss Sheng's heart was slightly moved, but it only lasted for a moment. He quickly retorted, "What if the county party secretary's sister falls for the third brother again? Then you let the third brother divorce Secretary Li's sister? What will happen then? How is this different from selling your own daughter to the landlord as a maid?"
The old woman snorted heavily through her nose, her eyes not eyes, her nose not nose, and she said, "Of course it's different. Selling a girl to be a maid means she'll be a servant. But if the third son marries the secretary's sister, he'll be the superior one."
Boss Sheng crossed his legs, hung his head, and said, "The world is big. There are always people who are higher than you, and there are always higher-ranking officials than Secretary Li. And those who are higher than Secretary Li will always have sisters, sisters, and daughters. You want to cling to them, but can you cling to them?"
The old woman snatched the pipe from the old man's hand.
He hit Boss Sheng hard on the shoulder. "You were a very clever kid when you were young, but now you're like a fool. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. It has been like this since ancient times."
Boss Sheng rubbed his hands together and said, "Dad, Mom, if you two really have this idea, our whole family will be criticized and scolded by people in the village for many years. I don't want that."
Seeing that the old woman was getting annoyed, she said, "Don't say anything, just shut up. Let's come back in the evening and discuss it together."
Boss Sheng was really puzzled.
Is there anything else to discuss about this matter?
How to negotiate?
What else do you want to do besides say no?
Just then.
A child's sharp cry was heard outside.
The adults ran out.
Tiedan was covered in mud, his mouth was full of yellow mud, and he was crying like a bereaved family.
This made the old woman very distressed. "My dear grandson, what happened?"
Dahua stammered nervously, "Grandma...don't blame me. I took my younger brothers and sisters to the forest to look for bamboo shoots. Tiedan fell into the ditch, and I went down to pull Tiedan out..."
Xiaohua said loudly nearby, "It was because my brother saw his grandson being plucked out by Goudan that he went to pick bamboo shoots somewhere else and fell down."
The old woman raised her head, and her witch-like gaze fell on Dahua's face, "Come here!"
Dahua glanced at her parents nervously. Boss Sheng nodded and said, "Go over when grandma calls you."
As soon as Dahua approached the old woman, the old woman raised her hand and slapped Dahua in the face.
Zhu Jinhua pulled her daughter over and hugged her tightly, "Mom, what are you doing?"
The old woman said sternly, "She's the oldest in the family, and she took her younger siblings out without looking after them. She deserves a beating!"
Dahua sobbed and said, "I didn't take them with me. Xiaohua and Tiedan insisted on going with me. Grandma, you are biased."
