When Liu Yun got off work, she went to her brother-in-law's to pick up some things. Liu Jing called her today to say that she brought her some things, and it was obvious from the sound that she brought a lot of fabric.
Sure enough, there were two packages, one large and one small. The small one was for Liu Yun, and the large one was for Cheng Ke.
"Do you want me to take you back? Is it easy to carry?"
"It's okay, I can manage. This is for my sister. Oh, by the way, brother-in-law, I'd like a little bit of homespun cloth. Could you tell my sister? I'm heading back now!" With that, she handed the items to Xiao Zhihua and left.
After receiving Liu Jing's call, Liu Yun used the excuse of going to the restroom to pick a bag of plums and a bag of pears from her spatial storage. She secretly took them out when she got off work in a secluded spot.
Meanwhile, Xiao Zhihua looked at the item in his hand, weighed it in his hand, and found it quite heavy. Then, looking at his sister-in-law, who was rushing around and acting all high and mighty, demanding a little bit of homespun cloth, he smiled and left.
Even if Liu Yun hadn't said anything, he had planned to go to the countryside to collect a batch of homespun cloth. Ever since Liu Yun started making clothes for the children with homespun cloth, Liu Jing and Cheng Ke had followed suit.
The facts show that children's clothes made of homespun cloth are indeed better than those that are expensive to buy.
With so many children in the family, who are at the age where they are growing, it's natural that we need to collect more homespun cloth. Also, her wife has started to love homespun clothes ever since she saw her younger sister wearing them.
In her wife's words, at first glance, the clothes looked outdated and lacked vitality, but after looking at them for a while, they became quite pleasing to the eye. Plus, Cheng Ke's clothes were beautifully made; the cotton, linen, and homespun fabrics were not only versatile and comfortable, but you could change outfits every day for a week without repeating a single look, and no one would say anything. They were simply high-value for money. Would anyone really say you had too many homespun and linen clothes?
Back in the compound, because she was late returning from picking up her things, the compound was once again crowded with people. As she got closer, she even saw her parents-in-law. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she quickly delivered the things to their home.
He rushed out to find Yu's mother to see what had happened.
It turns out that the Wang family's three children have gotten into trouble again, and this time the trouble is a bit bigger. To put it mildly, it's three boys bullying a little girl; to put it more seriously, if they were to be held accountable, it would be considered bullying the orphan of a martyr.
Ever since the Wang brothers stole things and pushed Aunt Zhu into the cesspool, their reputation has been completely ruined. No one in the compound, whether in the front or back yard, wants to play with them, nor in the surrounding area. Their deeds have also spread to the school, where they have been ostracized.
The little girl who was bullied was Li Shu, the granddaughter of Old Man Li who had gone to guard the warehouse at the machinery factory.
Old Man Li and Old Woman Li only had one daughter, and they were always called childless. Later, they took in a son-in-law who married into the family. The son-in-law later joined the army and died on the battlefield. At that time, Old Man Li's daughter was already nine months pregnant. When she heard the news of her husband's death, she had a premature and difficult labor. Although the child was fine, the mother's body was exhausted. Coupled with depression, she died less than a year after giving birth, leaving behind this little girl.
Old Li has a salary, plus his son-in-law's pension, and he himself has received subsidies for orphans of martyrs until he came of age. Old Li's wife secretly makes shoes for people, and her son-in-law's comrades-in-arms occasionally send some packages over, so the Li family's life is quite good.
The elderly couple in the Li family doted on their granddaughter, always giving her the best of everything in the house, which is why the three Wang brothers had their eyes on her.
Today, on their way home from school, the three brothers cornered Li Shu in an alley and started punching and kicking her. Just then, Yu's mother and Yu Qianhe, who were walking their child, saw what happened and caught them red-handed.
The little girl was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything and could only cry. It was only after Yu's mother patiently comforted her that she learned that Li Shu had been threatened by the three Wang brothers for several days. They had been taking her things every day, including food and other necessities. Today, she was beaten because she didn't bring any food with her, and Yu Qian and the others happened to run into her.
When Old Lady Li found out, she smashed up the Wang family's door. You have to understand that Li Shu was the apple of their eye, cherished by Old Man Li and Old Lady Li.
In the compound, not to mention the girls, even among the boys, she had the best food, clothing, and other necessities.
Originally, it was Old Lady Li who was banging on the door and cursing, but after get off work, Old Man Li also joined in banging on the door.
Although it's not a good thing for a man to smash up the home of two widows, no one stopped him after they learned what had happened.
But things changed after Widow Wang and Qin Fen and his son returned. When Qin Fen and his son saw Old Man Li bullying two widows, they immediately attacked him with their fists. Fortunately, Yu Qian and Fu Yao were there to stop them, otherwise Old Man Li would be in the hospital now.
Upon hearing about what the three Wang brothers and the Qin father and son had done, Liu Yun felt utterly disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly.
Damn it, these two are weirdos. They should just tie themselves up tight! Tie them up firmly so they don't come out and cause trouble.
Old Mrs. Li was making a scene, threatening to beat the three beasts to death.
Old Mrs. Wang burst into tears, “You are all so vicious! Just because there is no man in my family, you take advantage of us and bully us relentlessly. My husband even sacrificed himself for the factory, and you treat us like this. Everyone watched as they came to smash my house, and not a single person offered a helping hand. You are all ungrateful wretches.”
The onlookers felt uncomfortable being scolded for no reason. "Why is it that only your three sons are orphans of heroes, while Li Shu is an orphan of a martyr?"
"He said he would bully us, but who knows if you're all ganging up on us orphans and widows? You just want to kick us out so you can take over our house."
The people around were disgusted by the Wang family's ability to turn the tables and shift the blame.
Qin Fen and his son returned at this time. Seeing so many people bullying the Wang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they each threw a punch at the old man Li in front, but fortunately they were stopped.
