In order to get the piece of cloth that Yang Lanhua promised her, Li Hongmei went to Han Zhenyu's house with her husband after work.
She had originally planned to go there at night, but Han Zhenyu and his family lived at the foot of the mountain, far from the village, so it was inconvenient to go there at night.
Han Baoqiang felt that it was a bit too much for Yang Lanhua to ask for forty years' pension at once.
So much money? Who can come up with it?
But he particularly disliked Han Zhenyu and his wife, so he didn't say anything and went with his wife.
Li Hongmei said, "Baoqiang, this is someone else's family affair after all. We are only going there to pass on a message. If Han Zhenyu and his wife disagree, we should not offend them. Han Zhenyu is now a formal employee in the city. You have to change your attitude and can't be as rude as before."
They had a good relationship with Yang Lanhua and her husband, and had always ignored Han Zhenyu. But now things were different.
Han Zhenyu is such a promising person. Even if I don’t have to establish a good relationship with him, at least I can’t offend him like I did before.
Han Baoqiang didn't take it seriously, thinking that he was the team leader and Han Zhenyu's elder, and he couldn't have a relationship with a junior whom he had looked down upon since childhood.
If Han Zhenyu bows to him first and he happens to be in a good mood, he might still give him a good face.
Su Xieqiu was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard the knock on the door, she wiped her hands on her apron, stood in the yard and asked, "Who is it?"
Their place is remote and there are children at home, so Su Xieqiu is very cautious and always asks clearly before opening the door.
Li Hongmei smiled and said, "Zhenyu's wife, it's me, your aunt Hongmei."
When Su Xieqiu heard it was her, he knew it was definitely not a good thing.
She didn't open the door, and asked bluntly, "What's the matter?"
Li Hongmei and Han Baoqiang, who were standing outside the door, felt very uncomfortable seeing that she didn't even open the door and spoke so harshly.
Han Baoqiang glared and was about to yell.
Li Hongmei quickly stopped him and said to Su Xieqiu inside the door, "Zhenyu's wife, is Zhenyu home? Your parents-in-law have something to say to us."
"Han Zhenyu is on a business trip and is not at home. My mother-in-law has passed away. I hope you can be more tactful in your words in the future and don't address her carelessly."
Su Xieqiu opened the door and did not let the two in. He asked directly, "What does the old man have to say to you? Go ahead, I want to hear it too."
Han Baoqiang glared at her and scolded, "Zhenyu's wife, is this how you treat your elders?"
Su Xieqiu sneered and curled his lips, "Team Leader Han, please don't accuse me of anything. My elders are not here. My elders are in the house helping me take care of the children."
Han Baoqiang was so angry that he wanted to retort when he saw that she, a young wife, dared to speak to him like that.
Although Li Hongmei was also dissatisfied with Su Xieqiu's attitude, they came here just to pass on a message, not to make enemies.
So she said before her husband: "Zhenyu wife, this time it's your father-in-law and your mother-in-law... Yang Lanhua asked us to come. They want Zhenyu to pay your father-in-law's pension in advance."
Su Xieqiu laughed and asked Li Hongmei, "Did they say how much they want?"
"Your father-in-law and his family said to pay for forty years in one lump sum." Li Hongmei felt a little embarrassed after she said this.
At that time, she was only thinking about the piece of cloth, and didn't consider how inappropriate it was to ask for a pension for 40 years. Now that she said this, she felt a little embarrassed.
Grandma Du heard their conversation in the room, put the child on the kang, and said to Aunt Du: "You take care of the child, I'll go out and see what's wrong."
Aunt Du was feeding the second child water. She nodded and said, "Mom, call me if you need anything."
As soon as Grandma Du came out, she heard what Li Hongmei said.
She sneered and did not let Su Xieqiu speak. She stood at the door and said, "You didn't go back and tell Han Baoguo that I know. Tell him to wait. I will go and settle the score with him when I am free."
Han Baoqiang and Li Hongmei didn't know that Grandma Du was here, and they looked a little embarrassed.
They knew how powerful this old lady was. When Han Zhenyu was bullied as a child, this old lady almost tore Han Baoguo and Yang Lanhua to pieces.
Li Hongmei quickly greeted him with a smile, "Aunt is here too."
Grandma Du narrowed her eyes and stared at the couple for a while before she said with a fake smile:
"Come and take care of my daughter's grandson. She was unlucky and passed away early. That bastard Han Baoguo doesn't act like a father, so I have to come and help."
Li Hongmei had no way to respond to her words. She laughed awkwardly twice, responded with a few words, and prepared to leave. She didn't want to listen to her sarcastic remarks here.
She couldn't handle this powerful old lady.
Grandma Du didn't let them go so easily. She smiled and pulled Li Hongmei to her side. "Auntie, you seem to be a reasonable person. You said that since I'm here to help Han Baoguo look after his grandson, shouldn't he give me some money as a gift?"
Li Hongmei was caught by her, feeling bitter, and said with a forced smile: "Aunt Du, you are the elder, Baoguo should of course respect you."
Grandma Du clapped her hands with a smile, "His aunt is sensible, unlike Yang Lanhua, that vicious woman with a scorpion heart. She almost abused my Zhenyu to death when he was a child."
"If I didn't have to take care of my grandson, I would have died with her. I am several dozen years older than that bitch, so dying with her is enough."
Although Grandma Du said this with a smile, the hatred in her eyes frightened Li Hongmei.
She regretted it so much now. Why did she come here? Not only was it a thankless task, but it also offended people.
Grandma Du acted as if she didn't notice her expression and continued with a smile: "Aunt, since you also said that Han Baoguo, that beast, should be honored by me, then please tell him to prepare the money and food for me, and I will go get them tomorrow."
