While Ye Qing was reviewing seriously, an unusual scene was taking place in a corner of the compound.
When Li Lan got home from get off work, she saw a large piece of wild boar meat on the dining table in the living room. Her eyes lit up: "Aunt, have you distributed the pork? Can we have an extra meal tonight? I've been so busy today and I'm so tired!"
Aunt Sun Qiuling poked her head out from the kitchen: "Lan'er is back? Just in time, wash your hands and have dinner! This is the pork you earned. I'll make you some braised pork tonight, try it later."
Li Lan happily went to wash her hands, and after a while she ran out and asked, "Aunt, Captain Qin's family has arrived and moved into the family compound. We were supposed to treat them to a meal, but unfortunately he left for a mission before he had finished packing."
"He was injured again when he came back. We haven't invited this guest yet, and many people are thinking about it! My uncle has a good relationship with him, and he didn't ask when the guest will be invited? We can prepare some gifts for him."
Before Sun Qiuling could say anything, Ge Yongzhen came out of the bedroom and said sarcastically, "You are still thinking about Captain Qin? No wonder you refused to meet the girl my dad introduced to you!"
"I originally thought you were going to stay at my house and find someone better, but I didn't expect you to fall in love with a married man. Tsk... I don't even have money to buy gifts, my family can barely make ends meet!"
Li Lan was stunned. What happened to Ge Yongzhen today? I don't think I have offended her. Why is she so weird?
Sun Qiuling immediately scolded her daughter: "Yongzhen, what are you talking about? You can't talk nonsense about this! Besides, when have you ever seen your family unable to make ends meet? Your sister at least has a job, but you are just idling around every day."
It's like this again! Ye Qing's words today were still fresh in her mind. Now her mother was provoking her again, and she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Every time I have a conflict with my cousin, you blame me! Am I not as good as Li Lan? If you hadn't insisted that I give her the job opportunity, how could I stay at home and do nothing every day?"
"Mom, am I your daughter, or is she your daughter? Wait until I pass the exam and become a teacher and I'll show you!"
"When I pass the exam to become a teacher, my salary will be no less than hers! By then I can pay the bills to my family, but can she? Over the years, who of you has seen her spend a penny? She eats my food and drinks my drinks, and she even steals my mother. What's wrong with me saying a few words to her?"
Li Lan was completely dumbfounded.
This cousin often made things difficult for her, which was one of the reasons why she was anxious to find Li Qiang in her previous life, because Li Qiang said that when he was admitted to university and settled down in the city, he would definitely give her a home where she didn't have to worry about other people's feelings.
She spent three whole years of hard work for this illusory "home", but in the end, all her efforts were in vain.
Now that her cousin said this to her face, she still felt embarrassed. The desire to have a home of her own became even stronger.
But this time she will not look for Li Qiang again, she will look for the best man! She wants to let Ge Yongzhen see that she, Li Lan, can always suppress her for the rest of her life!
“Boom boom boom…”
Li Lan ran to the room and dragged out a wooden box from under the bed. She took out twenty yuan from it and gave it to Sun Qiuling, saying with tears in her eyes.
"Aunt, it's my fault. I didn't think of this. I... I don't have much money. I sent all the money to my parents. You can use this money first. I will pay the living expenses to the family every month and will never make things difficult for you, aunt."
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault!"
She bowed and cried at the same time, which made Sun Qiuling feel upset.
"Oh! You kid! Auntie knows your family is in trouble, and your uncle knows it too. We have never blamed you. Besides, this pork is earned by you, right? Who says you have not contributed to this family?"
"You've done a great job in the hospital. When I went out to buy groceries and met people, they all praised you to me!"
"Good boy, stop crying. Ask your uncle to find you a better partner tomorrow! Don't listen to your sister's nonsense! She is just nervous because of the exam soon. She is talking nonsense because she is nervous."
Ge Yongzhen wanted to refute, but was glared back at by Sun Qiuling.
She slammed the door angrily and refused to eat.
Ge Zhigang and his eldest son Ge Qingshan, who had just entered the house, stepped into the room, saw that the atmosphere in the room was not right, and hurriedly asked what was going on.
After listening to Sun Qiuling, Ge Qingshan angrily knocked on his sister's door: "Yongzhen, come out!"
