Jinju walked to the man's side and intimately took his hand.
Feigning surprise, she asked, "Mom, the ground is cold. Why are you sitting on the ground?"
Li's mother's lips twitched, wishing she could tear that vile woman's mouth apart.
What a blunder! I never expected country folk to be so cunning.
To soften her son's heart, she started wailing again.
“My son, your mother has had a hard life. When you and your brother were little, your father was busy with work, and I raised you with great care.”
After a two-second pause, he said, "Now that I'm old, can't I let Mom enjoy her retirement?"
When she spoke from the depths of her heart, Li's mother shed a few tears.
When she first married into the family, her wicked mother-in-law wanted nothing more than to divide them up, so why would she help them?
Hearing his mother bring up the same old topic again, Li Haoxuan scratched his head and said helplessly, "Mom, of course you can enjoy life now."
Pull Jinju's hand away, take two steps forward and help her up.
Li's mother stood up, taking the opportunity her son had given her.
Jinju watched the mother and son enjoying themselves, as if she were the outsider.
She tried to give the man a meaningful look, but he kept avoiding it.
She then realized that men were completely unreliable.
She shamelessly pulled his other hand and said in a coquettish tone, "Brother Haoxuan, you promised me last night."
Li Haoxuan was being held back by the two women, finding himself in a difficult situation.
Jinju held a place in his heart far less important than his mother, and he hardened his heart to shake off her hand.
"As a daughter-in-law, you are supposed to do more housework."
"Don't worry, my son will be fine."
He was so rough last night, and this woman was perfectly fine. Maybe she was just saying that on purpose.
Jinju was furious, her chest heaving. Especially after seeing her mother-in-law's gloating look, she almost bit her teeth off.
"I suddenly remembered that I had something to do later, so I went out first."
I quickly tidied my clothes, put on my shoes, and went out.
It slammed into Jinju's heart with a "bang".
"Hurry up and cook, you're always causing trouble."
Li's mother smiled triumphantly.
They want to take her son away? No way!
Jinju stood there, biting her lip desperately.
No man can be trusted.

Days passed by, and November arrived quickly.
The weather in Huaicheng turned completely cold.
Su Jingjing now keeps her two children completely covered up every day.
Several children in the family compound have caught a cold.
Yuanyuan's body is rather weak, so she is even more susceptible to cold.
That morning, Su Jingjing dressed the children.
Li Yuanyuan rubbed her eyes, seemingly still half asleep.
"Mom, many classmates didn't come to school because they have colds."
She was most afraid of catching a cold; the memory of injections and medicine still lingered in her mind.
Su Jingjing paused, then continued putting on her shoes.
"Honey, wear more clothes so you don't catch a cold."
That day, she took her two children to school and saw that many of the children were wearing very thin clothes that were not warm enough.
After breakfast, the children put on their backpacks and went to school hand in hand.
After cleaning up the dishes, Su Jingjing went to translate the manuscript. A few days ago, she went to the newspaper office again and received a generous payment for her work.
It's cold now, so she doesn't like to go out.
Just as she was engrossed in translating the manuscript, someone knocked on the door.
Su Jingjing quickly tidied up the manuscript and put it aside before getting up to open the door.
Upon seeing who it was, she was surprised. "Zhao Di, is there something you need?"
The other person looked conflicted, as if they were a little embarrassed to speak.
Looking into Jingjing's shimmering eyes, He Zhaodi stammered slightly.
"Jingjing, you made cotton-padded clothes for the two children, are there any scraps left over?"
Fearing the other party might misunderstand that she was taking advantage of them, she quickly explained, "I can pay for it."
She wanted to make a cotton-padded coat for Xiaoyun, but her family didn't have enough money to buy one, so she shamelessly came to Jingjing for help.
No matter how hard life is, we can't let the children suffer. Xiaoyun's cotton coat is already worn out.
The child is dressed too lightly and is more likely to catch a cold.
Su Jingjing did not look down on He Zhaodi because of this. She knew Zhaodi's character and that she didn't like to owe others anything.
The last time Yan Yikuan borrowed forty yuan, the couple immediately returned the money as soon as the army paid their salaries.
Zhao Di and her husband are both honest people; you can get along with people like that.
The fact that she had the nerve to come and ask was ultimately for the sake of the child.
"Please come in and sit down for a moment, I'll go get it for you."
Su Jingjing welcomed the other person in, poured her a cup of hot water, and then went into the room to get her things.
He Zhaodi took a sip of water from her glass and looked at the room's furnishings, feeling a pang of envy.
Especially the bright television set; there was only one in the entire residential compound.
Su Jingjing came out carrying a basket. She had asked the tailor to make cotton clothes last time, and there was indeed a lot of fabric left over, but it was all in small pieces.
Thinking they might have other uses, she brought them back.
She placed it on the table and said, "Zhao Di, I don't need these anymore. You can take them back if you need them."
He Zhaodi was surprised for a moment, then reached out and pushed the basket over, saying, "I can't accept that."
Although it's scrap material, this fabric is not only thick but also of good quality; if sold, it could fetch a good price.
Su Jingjing smiled faintly, "Take it. You've given me quite a lot, and I was just wondering how to repay you."
He Zhaodi's lips moved slightly; the vegetables she gave were not worth much.
Sometimes when her daughter Xiaoyun comes over to play with Yuanyuan, Jingjing will give her some snacks without hiding anything from her.
Xiaoyun now greets Jingjing on her own initiative whenever she sees her.
She dared to say that Jingjing was the gentlest person in the entire family compound.
Su Jingjing ultimately forced the item into Zhao Di's hands.
"Xiaoyun is a good child, we can't let her catch a cold."
Upon hearing this, He Zhaodi paused in her refusal for a moment, then gritted her teeth and accepted.
Looking at her with gratitude, she smiled and said, "Jingjing, thank you."
Su Jingjing shook her head, telling her not to be so polite.
He Zhaodi held the pile of fabric, her smile clearly visible.
That's great, her little Yun has clothes to wear now.
"Zhao Di, what are you holding in your arms?"
Just as he was about to enter his own room, he heard Wu Xiuying's voice.
The ringtone in her head rang loudly, and she tightened her grip. How did she end up bumping into her?
As she turned around, she put her hands behind her back, forced a smile, and said, "No, it's nothing."
Wu Xiuying wasn't blind; she clearly saw the fabric, and quite a lot of it.
She immediately exposed the other person's lie, saying, "I saw it all."
He stepped forward and used brute force to pull out the thing behind her.
She paused for a moment, then looked at him in surprise, "This, such good fabric, you bought it?"
Wait a minute, where did He Zhaodi get the money?
He Zhaodi quickly snatched the basket back, stammering and unable to utter a single word.
Oh no, I hope she's gotten Jingjing into trouble.
Since the other party remained silent, Wu Xiuying had a bold idea in her mind: "Could it be that you stole it?"
