Mr. Li held his wife's hand and said, "Calm down first and ask Erlang what happened first!"
Mrs. Wu wiped away her tears and looked straight at Li Erlang.
Li Erlang explained to everyone what happened yesterday, and waited for Li Erlang to finish speaking.
Li Dalang said bitterly, "This Liu family is so despicable. A good girl married into their family. The last time I came back, I said that she looked much more haggard!"
When Mrs. Wu heard her son say this, her tears flowed even more freely!
Li Yan looked at everyone still immersed in grief and said, "Grandma, this is not the time to be sad. We need to know whether Auntie knows about this and what her attitude is!"
Mrs. Wu seemed to come to her senses, broke free from her son's support, and wanted to go out.
Li Yan quickly stopped Wu: "Grandma, we'd better bring Aunt back first, so we can discuss it at home!"
Wu was persuaded by Li Yan! Daya was called over: "Grandma, I will go to my uncle's house with Sister Daya and invite my aunt back!"
Mrs. Wu grabbed her granddaughter's hand and said, "If the Liu family won't let you go, just say I'm sick and want to see my daughter!"
Li Yan nodded, agreeing.
Li Yan and Daya went out and headed towards Liujiazhuang.
Lijia Village is separated from Liujiazhuang by a mountain. After crossing the mountain, it takes another half an hour to walk to Liujiazhuang.
The two walked for a long time under the scorching sun and finally arrived at Liujia Village. The children who were playing at the entrance of the village saw them and looked at them curiously.
Suddenly, a boy with patched clothes, a dirty face, and a snotty nose ran out from among the children. He ran in front of the two of them and said to Daya, "Are you my cousin? Why are you here? Did you bring me any snacks?"
The two stopped and Daya saw clearly that the person coming was actually her cousin.
Daya stood there embarrassedly, not knowing how to start.
Li Yan said, "I'm sorry, cousin. We were in such a hurry this time that we forgot to bring you some snacks. I'll definitely make it up to you next time. First, take us to find my aunt. My grandma is sick and wants to see her!"
Daniu was upset when he heard that he hadn't been given any snacks, and then he heard that he would be given more next time. He led his men to Liu Zhong's house in a daze.
Seeing the two about to leave, Da Niu grabbed Li Yan's sleeve in a hurry and said, "Are you really going to give me some snacks?"
Li Yan smiled and nodded. The Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days away. When my aunt comes back, I will definitely ask her to bring you some snacks on my behalf.
After hearing the promise, Da Niu let go of her hand and went home happily.
After comforting the child, Li Yan turned around and looked out into the yard. She saw her sister-in-law working hard to push the millstone, while an old woman was sitting leisurely in the corridor.
The old woman, waving her palm-leaf fan, said harshly to the woman, "Push faster! You've been busy all morning growing these beans. You've eaten all those years for nothing!"
Upon hearing this, the aunt did not dare to stop and pushed the millstone with difficulty!
The old woman continued to murmur, "Look at you, what else can we expect you to do? You can't even have children, and you're still wasting your time."
Li Yan looked at her aunt, who was now exhausted, with sweat running down her forehead, and her clothes on the back already soaked with sweat and sticking to her back.
Li Yan clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and stood at the door, shouting, "Is my aunt here?" as she walked into the courtyard.
Hearing the familiar voice, Li Xiaomei was stunned. It was not until Li Yan walked to her side and held her hand that Li Xiaomei was sure that it was not an illusion. She thought she had overheated and was hallucinating.
