"Why can't you understand? Your dad can't control him anymore, and besides, he's going to retire next year."
"At worst, I'll get scolded by Mingli, and I'll just keep quiet. Then, Mom, you can just pretend to teach me a lesson. We have two sons, so he won't do anything to me."
Li Zhu lowered his head and thought for a while. "This method can be used for other things, but you can't admit it. When his parents left, he was angry with you for a month. I had to persuade him to let it go. This time, you've trampled on his dignity. If he knew, even if he didn't say anything about you in the end, he would still have a grudge against you. So you must clear yourself of this matter completely and never let Mingli know that it was you who embezzled the money."
Chen Feng heard his mother's serious words and stopped objecting, "But Mingli will know if he goes to the post office to check."
"If you had told me this earlier, this wouldn't have happened. How could you be so stupid? Even if you don't send money every month, you should at least send it for a few months and get a few real remittance slips. That way, it will be easier for us to handle it. Then we can push this mess onto your parents-in-law and that's it. After all, you have a sister-in-law in the country. If the old couple is short of money, they can just say they spent it on their daughter."
"Mom, what should we do now? Think of a solution for me."
"Your cousin-in-law's cousin's sister works at the post office where you send money. I'll ask her to help me when the time comes. She'll just say that you send money every month. We also have a distant relative in Q City who has the same name as your father-in-law. His family is very poor. Two months ago, he came to me and asked to borrow money. I ignored him at the time. When the time comes, I'll give him some money and ask him to tell Mingli that he had falsely claimed the money. I'll then plead for him. I believe Mingli won't pursue the matter for the sake of his mother-in-law.
"Just do as you say, thank you."
"To save face, Mom will take out two hundred yuan and send it to his parents in front of Mingli. You are not allowed to get upset. Do you understand?"
"Why should I send it to them? At most I can send them 5 dollars every month, just like giving alms to beggars."
Li Zhu's face turned cold, "Watch your mouth. It's okay to say it in front of me, but don't say it in front of Mingli."
Chen Feng stuck out her tongue and said, "I know, I know. I'm not stupid. Then I'll go back and tell Mingli. Mom will help me check it out."
On the other side, Jiang Mingli searched the house again but couldn't find any remittance slip, so Jiang Mingli held his two-year-old son Jiang Wenchen.
"Chenchen, tell Daddy, what did you do at home while Daddy was out shopping? Did you play in the water?"
"Morning morning, I sleep and play with wood, not water..."
Jiang Mingli asked the two children several more questions in a roundabout way before he was sure that Chen Feng had lied to him.
The child did not destroy the remittance slip at all, and Xiaofeng could not produce the remittance slip. Now she goes to her mother-in-law's house again. She doesn't need to guess what the result will be.
Chen Feng was at ease. Seeing Jiang Mingli, she even greeted him with a smile. Then she said aggrievedly, "Mingli, I didn't expect something like this to happen. I asked my mother to help investigate. I believe the results will be out soon."
Jiang Mingli lowered his eyes, his face calm, "Okay, thank you for troubling me then."
Jiang Shushu was soundly sleeping when suddenly there was a rumble of thunder, each one louder than the last. Suddenly, Jiang Shushu was startled awake. He sat up and looked out the window. Outside, there were flashes of light, accompanied by rumbling thunder, as if the sky wouldn't stop until it pierced through. Then, a torrential downpour and strong winds blew. Jiang Shushu quickly jumped out of bed and closed the window. Within seconds, his clothes were soaked by the rain, a testament to how hard it was raining.
The strong winds and heavy rain continued all night long without any sign of abating. The next morning, there were still strong winds and heavy rain with thunder and lightning.
Because the noise was so loud, Jiang Shushu couldn't sleep the whole night and yawned loudly when he woke up.
Jiang Shushu found Zhang Yao and the others and said, "Chef Zhang, Brother Han, the weather is so bad outside now. Should we postpone our return for a day? Driving in a rainstorm can easily cause lightning strikes. When we came here, I remember there was a section of the road that was very low-lying. If it had rained heavily there, the road would have been flooded." "To rush on this road, you risked your life. What a pity! You were still thinking of returning home in glory and wealth? You didn't want to return home to rest in peace."
The two nodded in agreement.
Zhang Yao: "In this kind of weather, I guess even cars wouldn't dare to move. We just wanted to ride, so we did."
On the other side, at the Li family's house, Li Chunyan lay drowsy in bed. It was November, and the weather was relatively cool, but Li Chunyan's forehead was still covered with sweat.
Suddenly, Li Chunyan opened her eyes, shouted "No..." and gasped for breath.
The fear of a car hitting her head-on made Li Chunyan's heart restless for a long time.
After Li Chunyan recovered, when she saw the familiar layout of the room, her eyes widened instantly and her face was full of disbelief.
Wasn't I hit by a car? Why was I in my home decades ago?
Li Chunyan couldn't believe it when she saw her young hands and tight skin.
Li Chunyan raised her hands to look at them, then touched her strong heartbeat, and then immediately picked up a piece of broken mirror next to her and looked at it. Li Chunyan saw her young face and couldn't help but reached out to touch it, and tears flowed out unconsciously.
When Li Chunyan was free, she would read novels. She knew about rebirth and time travel, so she quickly accepted the fact that she was reborn.
I, Li Chunyan, am back. I, Li Chunyan, am back to the time before I went to the countryside. In this life, I want to live for myself. Screw my parents, screw my brothers and sisters. Whether they live or die is none of my business from now on.
At this time, Li Chunyan's stomach began to growl. This kind of heart-wrenching hunger was something Li Chunyan had not experienced in decades.
Li Chunyan touched her stomach, her face full of worry. "I'm so hungry! I wish I had something to eat. I bought a deluxe set meal that day, but I didn't get to eat a single bite. What a pity! I should have eaten in the restaurant earlier."
Then a box lunch appeared in Li Chunyan's hand. Li Chunyan took a look and found that it was the luxurious set meal she ordered for herself on her 50th birthday: chicken leg + duck leg + braised egg + vegetables, which cost a full 30 yuan.
When Li Chunyan saw the luxurious set meal, she swallowed her saliva unconsciously, then picked up the chicken leg and took a big bite, then started eating it in big mouthfuls.
