Chapter 149 Delicious Food
In fact, Lin Li asked Sister Liu to make clothes for her because she thought Sister Liu would not steal her designs. This was not only because Sister Liu was not interested in her designs at all, but also because Lin Li could read people's minds.
Those who say one thing in front of you and another behind your back will have no way to hide in front of her.
But she didn't use mind reading to figure out how her neighbors would respond to her.
Mainly because she thinks that everyone lives their own life behind closed doors, and they don’t eat or use other people’s things, so there’s no need to worry about it.
She rarely sits down and chats with her neighbors.
There are opportunities for cooperation, and Lin Li always tries his best to suffer a little loss himself and give convenience to others.
But she never expected that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, so the following things would happen...
Junrui has been in the commune these days.
Lin Li takes the baby with him wherever he goes.
Before, Ling Xiao didn’t go home for lunch, but ate in the company cafeteria.
But these days he was afraid that Lin Li would be too tired to take care of the child alone, so he would go home for lunch.
Seeing this from the neighbors, some people couldn't stand it anymore.
Today, as soon as Lin Li went out, he heard Ling Xiao said to his neighbor Sister Ning in a very cold voice: "There is not much work in my house. Even if I carry it all on my shoulders, I won't get sick from exhaustion. Besides, my husband has always been the one doing the housework. Sister Ning, you are worrying too much..."
Sister Ning: "I'm just reminding you out of kindness. If it were someone else, who would have the time to meddle in your family's affairs?"
What I was thinking was: "A stupid person like you deserves to die of exhaustion. You work so hard outside to earn money and get subsidies every month, but your wife is lazy and eats all the time, and you have to help her take care of the children and cook at noon and in the evening. How can such a selfish woman have such a good life?"
After hearing this, Lin Li didn't know whether he should continue to go forward and call Ling Xiao to go home, or wait where he was.
At this time, Junrui, who was playing with other children, came running over.
Looking at Lin Li and then at Ling Xiao, he didn't know whether to call mom or dad first.
Finally, he made a difficult decision.
He ran up to Lin Li, stretched out his dirty hands, and tried to hug Lin Li's legs.
"Wait, wait, wait..." Lin Li shouted to stop, and reached out and picked up the baby.
"Look at these dirty little hands. Go home and wash them..." Lin Li said in disgust, and walked back with the baby in his arms.
Ling Xiao quickly caught up: "Lin Li, I'm back..."
"Oh yes, you're back..." Lin Li patted her forehead. She actually had this problem. When she saw the smaller one, she would forget the older one.
But as for the conversation between Ling Xiao and Sister Ning, apart from being very grateful to Ling Xiao for speaking for her, she did not take Sister Ning's words to heart.
But the more she and Ling Xiao ignored Sister Ning, the more hatred Sister Ning felt in her heart.
Instead, she gathered everyone together to discuss it.
"That girl named Lin Li who just moved in looks quite fashionable and pretty, but that's because she does nothing all day long except dressing up. She doesn't even take care of the children."
Someone pretended to be surprised: "No way? She doesn't dress like a fox spirit, and I don't think she is as fashionable as me! She is just a country girl, it's a miracle that she can keep her handsome lover. Why don't you work every day?"
"Of course she was just pretending to do it. In reality, she was just lazing around at home every day. On the surface, she could cook and said that her meals were delicious, but in reality, she just asked her two brothers to cook for her when they got off work. Or she cooked for her eldest sister-in-law when she came to the commune to set up a stall!"
"Yes, yes, yes," a young woman said angrily, "I saw with my own eyes that her husband, who received subsidies and can now get a salary, worked as a stoker at home!"
"That's right. I'm her neighbor, so I have the final say," Sister Ning said angrily, as if someone had dug up her ancestral grave. "She and I live in the east and west rooms, and her children are well-behaved and sensible. They go play with other children by themselves, so I don't need to take care of them. Recently, she has been using taking care of the children as an excuse to not cook or wash clothes. She even said she wanted to buy a washing machine. It's so funny. A family of three only has a few pieces of clothes, but she's so generous that she wants to buy a washing machine?"
"This is really a useless piece of shit," someone sneered, "I wash the clothes for my family of five, I cook all the meals, and I have to go to work during the day, but I don't feel tired! How could such a shameful woman move in here?"
Lin Li had no idea that someone was gathering together to say bad things about her. After all, she had just moved in not long ago, and she was trying her best to maintain good relationships with her neighbors.
She never expected that the young woman next door received the benefits from her in front of her, but started gossiping about her behind her back.
The chewing of the tongue became more and more intense, and someone went to talk to Liu Jinduo. On the surface, they were standing up for justice, but in fact, they just wanted to sow discord between Liu Jinduo and Lin Li.
After all, in the eyes of these people, Liu Jinduo is busy every day, and all of Lin Li's family except Lin Li and baby Junrui are busy. So they told Liu Jinduo indirectly that Lin Li is selfish and a drag on his family.
If you meet someone who holds you back like this, all your efforts in this life will be like a bottomless pit, blah blah.
Liu Jinduo was very silly. Although she knew that what she said was wrong and that Lin Li was not like that, she was too careless and said it directly at the family gathering.
If she had said it in a tone that defended Lin Li, Lin Fu would not have been angry, but she used a tone that was ostentatious, showing off that the person who said bad things about Lin Li was saying good things about her.
She was used to being scolded since she was little and had a very low self-esteem, so when she heard someone say something nice about her, she would be very pleased with herself and wanted to show off.
Of course, the Lin family treated her well, but people on the street always told her that she was going to marry Lin Fu after all, so it was natural for the Lin family to treat her well. She thought this made sense.
Lin Li received her thoughts in time.
The simple-minded Lin Li originally wanted to live a simple life, but he never expected that where there are people, there is the world of martial arts.
There are always those people who like to sow discord among other people's families.
Lin Fu felt uncomfortable with Liu Jinduo's tone of voice, so he scolded Liu Jinduo angrily.
But he couldn't really tell what made him uncomfortable. It was just a subconscious feeling.
Liu Jinduo felt innocent and angry: "I didn't say those words! If you have the guts, go find the person who said them, why are you scolding me?"
"You are stupid, so of course I have to scold you!" Lin Fu was a man with a quick temper. "Have you ever thought about who helped you live such a stable life? You actually still want to say something to upset a girl!"
"How did I make her upset? If I hadn't come home and told her about it, you wouldn't even know that someone said bad things about a girl! Why are you telling her off on me instead of going to find the person who said those bad things? Wuwuwu..." Liu Jinduo was so angry that she didn't even eat her meal. She threw away her chopsticks and went to the small room.
Lin Li said to Lin Fu, "Go and comfort her. Don't let others' words cause conflicts in our family."
Lin Fu: "No! She doesn't know how to be grateful..."
"She's just stupid," Lin Li said helplessly. "The dumber a person is, the more they want others to say they are smart. It's human nature to show off when you have nothing. There's nothing wrong with that. Everyone has flaws."
Lin Fu finally figured out why he was angry.
He pulled Liu Jinduo out of the room and said in a serious tone: "Liu Jinduo! I am not angry because you spread other people's false statements about me at home! I am angry because of the implicit meaning of your words. You are the one who is welcomed by the neighbors, but I am the one who is unpopular and excluded!"
Lin Li raised his thumb and said, "I feel that since the third brother Lin Fu came out, he has become more able to speak to the point and to sort out problems more rationally. When dealing with problems, he is decisive and transparent. He can express his dissatisfaction without causing internal friction in the family."
In the past, when he was very angry and he didn’t know why he was angry, he would just quarrel and make trouble, causing family friction and making the whole family feel bad.
Therefore, people really need to try their best to improve their quality of life in order to broaden their horizons.
Liu Jinduo blushed and said, "I still said the same thing! I just passed on other people's opinions exactly as they were. It was other people who said that girls are unpopular, not me!"
Ling Xiao was silent at first, but now he looked at Lin Li and comforted him, "Lin Li, don't take the neighbors' gossip to heart."
Lin Li shook his head: "I don't need to take it to heart. They are jealous because I live better than them. As for those who are similar to them or worse than them, they don't bother to be jealous, but want to pull them up and take advantage of them. It's normal."
Lin Li finished speaking calmly and listened to Liu Jinduo's thoughts.
