Mu Cangnan didn't understand what Li Xiulan meant. How could his mother resolve this matter?
But looking at her mother's confident eyes, it seemed that her mother really could handle this matter well.
He looked at his wound with resentment. He had to wait seven more days before he could get out of bed and move around. It was such a waste of time!
After leaving the hospital, Li Xiulan took a bus home.
She pushed open the door and walked into her yard, almost startled. There were many bricks in the yard, and Mu Jiuhong was talking to two men who looked like workers.
Li Xiulan walked over and asked, "Why are you putting so many bricks in my house?"
Mu Jiuhong said, "You know, our relationship has become so strained, it's so inconvenient for us to live in the same courtyard."
I bought all these bricks with my own money. I asked them to build a wall in the yard. My sister and I will live in this yard, and you will live in the other yard!
She gestured with her hand to indicate where the wall should be built.
Li Xiulan looked at the location where the wall was to be built, and her hands trembled with anger. "Build a wall here? Is there such a thing as a wall built at an angle?"
"If you build this wall, all the houses will be on your side, and you're only leaving me a kitchen?"
Mu Jiuchun said to her mother, "You can't blame us sisters for this. If you're heartless, you can't blame us for being unjust!"
If you don't treat us like your daughters, do you expect us to take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die? We're already being generous by leaving you a kitchen!
Li Xiulan said angrily, "This yard and this house are all mine! Why should you divide them like this, just because you want to? Get out of my house!"
Mu Jiuchun said, "Huh? How did it become yours? This is a house for everyone to live in, it belongs to everyone."
You get that one room all to yourself! My sister has a child, and I'm getting married someday; all the houses here belong to us!
She glanced at her sister, who was the most resourceful. When she came back, she discussed with her how to divide the house, leaving only the kitchen for their mother.
The two sisters occupy all the houses, so even if they never see their mother again, at least they'll have a place to live!
She thought her sister's idea was brilliant; she would never have to put up with her mother's attitude again!
Li Xiulan was so angry she could hardly breathe. She pointed at her two daughters and yelled, "You two heartless bastards, you're occupying my house! I won't give it to you!"
I won't give you a single room! I'm keeping this house for my third and second sons! They can live there in the future.
Mu Jiuhong said with a sneer, "Mom, the country has said that it's the same whether you have a boy or a girl, and it's good for each family to have only one child! We daughters also have the right to a share of the house!"
"Master, just do as I say, build the wall like this, only separating out that small bungalow."
The two workers standing in the yard understood what was going on. They looked at each other, then packed up their tools.
The foreman said, "We can't do this job. Isn't that unethical?"
Mu Jiuhong became anxious, "I hired you and paid you, and you're not going to do our work?"
The worker said, "We dare not earn your money! We're afraid we'll be struck by lightning if we do!"
He took the money that Mu Jiuhong had just given them out of his pocket and threw it on the ground.
Two workers walked out of the yard one after the other.
Mu Jiuhong and Mu Jiuchun were furious. How could they occupy the courtyard now?
Mu Jiuhong's eyes hardened, and she said to Mu Jiuchun, "Since we can't build a wall, let's each take half of this yard!"
Mu Jiuchun immediately understood what her sister meant. She nodded and said, "Okay, we'll each have half of this courtyard!"
Mom, look at this yard. My sister and I each have half of it. There's no room for you. You should leave!
You only acknowledge your son, right? Then make your son buy you a house and support you!
After she finished speaking, she pushed Li Xiulan towards the door, declaring that the two sisters were determined to take the house!
Li Xiulan, at her advanced age, was pushed out the door by her own daughter, and she watched helplessly as her daughter locked the door.
Her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground, wailing, "What a terrible thing! What terrible thing have I done? Why did I give birth to these two bastards?! What am I going to do?!"
The noise from the Mu family's side had already attracted the neighbors.
The neighbors gathered in layers to watch the excitement at the Mu family's house.
A kind-hearted woman came over, and Li Xiulan helped her up, saying, "Aunt Gu, what's the use of crying here? Go find your son."
Li Xiulan said, "My son was hospitalized with a heart condition. I went to the hospital to see him; wouldn't that kill him? The doctor told him to rest in bed, and his heart couldn't be stimulated."
The neighbor lady said, "Do you have a daughter-in-law? Why don't you go find your daughter-in-law? If that doesn't work, ask your relatives for help!"
Li Xiulan choked back tears as she wiped them away. Her second son's family worked in another city. How could she possibly find them?
Moreover, all her relatives, both her husband's and her own, are gone...
The only person she could think of was Li Xiyue.
But can this future daughter-in-law help her?
She slowly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find my daughter-in-law."
She had no other choice but to ask Li Xiyue for help in getting the house back!
Li Xiyue returned to school, but she had obviously missed two more classes.
However, she consistently ranked first in her grade, so the teachers turned a blind eye to her behavior.
After all, with such good grades, not attending classes wouldn't change anything.
As soon as the bell rang, a bunch of classmates surrounded her again, asking about the calendar.
Du Guixiang was the best calendar seller at school. She listened to Li Xiyue and sold calendars at the night market. She could sell fifty or sixty calendars a night and earn fifteen or sixteen yuan a night!
Let's calculate how much money we'll make this month.
Even a conservative estimate would be enough to earn four or five hundred yuan!
What does four or five hundred yuan mean? That's roughly what an office clerk earns in a year!
Many students racked their brains and found places with high foot traffic to sell calendars, which greatly increased their income, and they also needed more calendars!
Li Xiyue tried to calm everyone down, but the problem was that she didn't have any calendars left; the ones she had brought back last time had already been sold out.
Now we can only wait for the printing factory to print out new calendars.
She told everyone, "Don't worry, new calendars will be printed soon, and they'll be even better looking than before! There will be calendars with qipaos and even some in traditional costumes."
After school this afternoon, I'll go to the printing factory to ask how many they printed today, and then I'll bring them back for everyone!
The students beamed with joy; it meant they could sell calendars and make money again that night!
A classmate ran in and shouted, "Li Xiyue! Li Xiyue, your relative is here to see you, it's an old lady!"
Li Xiyue was taken aback. "My relatives? No, I don't think so."
She walked out of the classroom in confusion and saw Li Xiulan standing in the corridor.
When Li Xiulan saw Li Xiyue, she cried and grabbed Li Xiyue's hand, saying, "Good child, only you can help me, please help me!"
My two daughters have taken over my house, kicked me out, and won't let me go back!
