In his previous life, Father Wen had a friend who was not really a friend.
That is also a top billionaire!
He is very smart. He started from scratch and accumulated his wealth step by step.
But he never trusts anyone!
Including his brothers and sisters, and even his wife and children.
Because he felt that everyone who approached him and treated him well was doing so because of his wealth.
As a result, his wife, children, brothers and sisters gradually became estranged from him and even stopped recognizing him.
In the end, I was left alone with no relatives or friends.
Perhaps, some people prefer this kind of quietness, but Lan Guoer likes the opposite.
Although she doesn't like the hustle and bustle, she loves the warmth between family members.
She is willing to believe and is willing to be the first to give!
But she is not a saint!
She has her own scale in her heart!
She can trust her family and friends unconditionally, be kind to them, and even not expect anything in return.
But if they betray her trust, slander her kindness, let alone plot against her, she will ruthlessly take back everything she has given and make them get the punishment they deserve.
Although Li Jinhua had had bad intentions towards her before, she had just arrived in this world at that time and had not given her anything.
But this time it's different.
She planned for them and improved their lives. Even when they were chatting just now, she thought about opening a factory here, letting them manage it, and helping them make a lot of money.
I just didn't expect that she would even scheme against a child and even attempt to steal his belongings!!
This is not just a matter of affection; it can even be said that her character is flawed.
Now she has been poisoned by Xiaoqing because of her own fault. Lan Guoer has done her best to detoxify her. How could she waste those precious life-saving drugs?
If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. Let her spend the New Year lying in bed!
At this moment, the children were also awakened, and they were all confused and didn't understand the situation.
Xiaoqing was hanging listlessly on Xiaoling's wrist. It looked innocent too! Who would have thought that while sleeping soundly, someone would almost pinch its gallbladder.
Li Jinhua opened her eyes, still terrified, and shouted, "Snake! There's a poisonous snake!"
Tang's mother was too lazy to explain to her. Just then, Tang Ming and Tang Long heard the noise and rushed over. Tang's mother asked them to drag her home.
Li Jinhua knew it well and knew she was in the wrong, so she climbed onto Tang Ming's back in a huff.
Li Jinhua couldn't get out of bed, so she pushed the laundry and cooking chores to Li Qinglian.
Although Li Qinglian was reluctant, she was living under someone else's roof. She couldn't let her uncle Tang Ming do the laundry, cook, and take care of her, right?
But there was so much cleaning and washing up to do at the end of the year that Li Jinhua felt relaxed. She lay on the bed like an old woman from a landlord's house, sometimes directing her to take apart and wash the sheets and quilts, and sometimes directing her to wash the pots and dishes.
In just half a day, the skin on Li Qinglian's delicate little hands was washed off.
The Li family was counting on her to be exchanged for a dowry, so they were reluctant to let her do these dirty and tiring jobs.
The more Li Qinglian thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.
Looking at Li Jinhua's condition, she knew that she would not be able to get out of bed in the short term and there was nothing she could do to help her.
So I thought about going back to Old Li's house to celebrate the New Year first, and then discussing countermeasures with my family to see if there is any way to take down the Third Master.
But she felt unwilling to leave like this!
The Tang family lives a much richer life than the Li family.
During the two days she spent at Li Jinhua's house, she ate steamed buns made of two tbsp flour almost every meal, or at worst, dry food made of cornmeal. Even the stir-fried dishes were oily.
It’s not like Old Li’s family, where they have porridge and congee for every meal. They have to rely on the men who work at home to eat solid food, so she can only drink water every day.
Thinking of the dozens of kilograms of wild boar meat in the kitchen, Li Qinglian's eyes rolled!
With so much meat, shouldn’t Li Jinhua, as the aunt, think about her family?
So she went into the kitchen and cut the meat in half without any hesitation.
After doing all this, he looked at the pheasant next to him.
Go all the way!
He simply chopped the pheasant in half and put half of it into the bamboo basket he was going to take away.
Li Jinhua lay listlessly on the bed. Tang Ming and the children were busy with their own things and no one noticed what she was doing.
"Aunt, I've thought about it and it's not a good time to stay at your house any longer during the New Year. I'm going back now! New Year's Eve is almost here. After the New Year, grandma and I will come to see you again. Then we can discuss what to do about that matter."
Li Jinhua was really hoping that she would go back immediately!
But she just fell ill, and before we could do anything about her, she couldn't stay any longer!
Li Jinhua was still unhappy.
But she also knew the temperament of her mother and sister-in-law. If she insisted on keeping her eldest niece to take care of her today, she would probably be scolded by them later. She really couldn't afford to offend them!
"Alright then! Just drive slowly. Since I'm like this, I won't send you off."
"Hey, that..."
Li Qinglian smiled embarrassedly and said,
"Aunt, our family doesn't have much money left this year, and it's hard for grandma to have a meal of meat. I saw... I saw that you have a lot of meat in your kitchen, so I cut a small piece and thought of taking it back to make dumplings for grandma. Do you... do you have any objections?"
Li Qinglian thought that her marriage with the Third Master would inevitably require her, the aunt, to take the initiative. If he took her things without saying anything, it would be difficult for them to get along in the future. After thinking about it, she decided to say hello to her.
Li Jinhua also often helps her parents' home.
This year, there was a lot of meat distributed, and she had originally thought of sending two pounds to her parents' home. But when she heard that she had cut a small piece to make dumplings, she thought it was not enough, so she waved her hand and urged her to go back early.
Seeing that she agreed, Li Qinglian put on the basket and went out happily.
This Spring Festival, her Li family will have no shortage of meat to eat!
After Li Qinglian left, Li Jinhua remembered that the meat needed to be processed, so she instructed Tang Feng to make pickled meat.
Pork is hard to buy these days, so if they eat sparingly, these fifty or sixty kilograms of meat are enough for their family to eat for a whole year.
It’s okay in winter, buried in the snow, it works better than a refrigerator.
But if you want to store it for a longer time, you have to pickle it with salt.
"Mom! Why is there so little meat left? Wasn't it always a big piece when we divided it?"
Tang Feng carried the remaining half piece of meat and walked into the inner room with an unhappy look on his face.
She just saw Li Qinglian carrying a basket and going out, and she looked very happy.
"What are you arguing about? It's just two pounds less..."
The three children at home have always disliked her for supporting her parents' home. Li Jinhua thought she agreed to Li Qinglian taking the meat back. Tang Feng found out and started to nag her again.
But when she looked up, she was completely stunned.
A piece of meat that weighed over 60 pounds now looked like it weighed only about 20 pounds, and the fat that she had originally planned to use for frying had all been sliced off.
That’s her family’s income for most of the year!
