In the Zhang family's kitchen, Zhang Lin was a little surprised when she saw Li Hehua walking out of the door with a bag on her back. She thought this vicious woman would not leave easily, but she did not expect her to leave so easily. Seeing that she really left, she couldn't help feeling happy besides being surprised.
"Is he really gone? That's good now." Zhang Lin said to her two sons.
Zhang Qingshan was also a little surprised, but he was more happy than surprised. He nodded in agreement with his mother, "She must have really left. Even if she didn't really leave, we won't let her come back, right, brother?"
Zhang Tieshan frowned and did not answer Zhang Qingshan's words. He walked straight to the stove and saw the rice grains on his son's mouth. His eyes once again moved to the bowl on the stool, which contained unfinished meat and rice.
Zhang Qingshan pursed his lips and looked at it for a while, then slowly bent down to pick up the spoon that had fallen on the ground. After thinking for a while, he stood up again and went to the cupboard to take out a clean spoon and handed it to Shulin, "Come on, Shulin, here's the spoon. Let's eat."
Shulin did not move, and Zhang Tieshan did not move either, still holding the clean spoon and waiting for Shulin to take over. After a long while, Shulin slowly raised his arm, stretched out his little hand to take the spoon from his hand, raised his head to look at it, then lowered it again, slowly put the spoon into the bowl, scooped up a spoonful of rice and put it into his mouth, chewing it bit by bit.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Tieshan's eyes became deep, and Zhang Linshi and Zhang Qingshan, who were also watching on the side, opened their mouths in disbelief.
They had never seen Shulin take the initiative to eat, and eat so happily!
Naturally, this meal was not prepared by Zhang Lin for Shulin. The only person in the family who could cook it was Li Hehua who had just left.
Zhang Lin had obviously thought of this, and recalled Li Hehua's explanation just now. She felt a little embarrassed inexplicably, but she couldn't admit that she was wrong. She just thought to herself that she did see the woman touch Shu Lin just now, and Shu Lin shrank back in fear. If this wasn't to hit Shu Lin, what was she? She was not wrong.
As if to prove something, Zhang Lin said, "Tieshan, this woman is so pretentious now. She didn't want to give Shulin any food before, but now she is so generous. I wonder what she is thinking. It's best if she leaves now, so we don't have to worry about her doing something bad."
"Mom!" Zhang Tieshan looked at Zhang Linshi and spoke in a stern voice, causing Zhang Linshi to swallow the remaining words in her mouth and dare not say any more.
Zhang Tieshan turned his gaze back to Shulin and continued to eat, not wanting to listen to his mother's nagging. He knew that his mother and Qingshan had suffered a lot in the past few years, and they still had resentment in their hearts, so he particularly hated Li Hehua, hated her so much that he didn't want to live under the same roof with her anymore, and hated her so much that he couldn't help but want to grab her tail and drive her away.
Although he hated Li Hehua, he knew in his heart that his mother had misunderstood what happened today. Li Hehua did not lie. She really just made some food for Shulin. But he did not stand up to speak for her, because what she did in the past did hurt his mother and Qingshan, and even hurt Shulin to what he is now. Although she acted like a completely different person these days, can a person really change his temperament in a short period of time? He did not believe it. So in the end, he said nothing.
It's better to leave, so that we can be even with each other from now on.
Thinking this in his mind, Zhang Tieshan couldn't help but look out the gate again, but there was nothing there.
As for Li Hehua, after walking out of Zhang's gate, he looked around and didn't know where to stay.
She only had two hundred coins in savings, which was enough to buy some things, but not enough for accommodation. She had asked around in the town last time and found out that the worst room in the inn cost ten coins a night. The money she had was not enough to stay for a few nights. Besides, there was no kitchen in the inn, so she couldn't make cakes to sell. That wouldn't do.
There are houses for rent in the town, but the rental period is at least half a year, and it costs at least half a tael of silver, which she simply cannot afford now.
Li Hehua bit her lip, feeling extremely worried, but no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't think of where she could go. The original owner's popularity was too bad, so it was impossible for any friend to take her in. The only place she could count on was the original owner's relatives - her mother's family.
Originally, she didn't want to contact the original owner's family, but now she had no choice. She couldn't sleep on the street. She could only go back to the original owner's family to see the situation. If it was okay, she would stay there and give the original owner's family some money. If not, she would find another way.
Having made up her mind, Li Hehua began to think about how to find the original owner's parents' home. After all, she did not have the original owner's memory, so of course she did not know where the original owner's parents' home was.
Li Hehua walked slowly in the village while thinking about this, holding her bag. The villagers she met along the way gave her complicated looks, most of them gloating, as if to say, Wow, she's finally been driven away.
Li Hehua automatically ignored the unfriendly looks from these people, moved slowly, and then once again met the woman with whom he had a dispute last time, Wu Dazhu's mother, Wu Fang.
"Oh, who did I think this was? Turns out to be Li Hehua. Why is she carrying a bag at this time?" Wu Fang asked knowingly.
Li Hehua ignored Wu Fangshi and continued on his way.
Unfortunately, Wu Fang didn't want to let her go so easily. Seeing that she ignored him, she said in a more sarcastic tone, "Oh, I forgot. Weren't you divorced a long time ago? Of course, a divorced woman has to pack up and go back to her parents' home, hehe..."
Li Hehua didn't want to pay attention to what the woman said, but when he heard the word "mother's home", his mind moved and his steps stopped.
She didn't know where the original owner's parents' home was, but others might know. The women in the village generally knew each other's news, and the woman in front of her probably knew it too. Could she ask some suitable questions and then find the original owner's parents' home?
Thinking of this, Li Hehua immediately put on an angry look on his face and said angrily: "Where I go back is none of your business!"
Seeing that Li Hehua was finally angry, Wu Fangshi was happy, her fighting power increased again, and her tone also increased, "It's none of my business, but it doesn't stop me from being happy. How can I not be happy to see some bitches being divorced?"
At this time, the young girl who had been standing next to Wu Fangshi without saying anything raised her head slightly and said in a persuasive tone: "Mother, stop talking, let's go home."
Wu Fang snorted heavily, "Why should I go home? This vicious woman has hurt you like this, and now she has finally gotten her retribution. I have to take a good look at it."
The girl who said this lowered her head again and pulled her hair off her face as if to cover it up. However, this did not prevent Li Hehua from seeing a scar on the left side of her face near her ear. The scar ran from the base of the ear to the cheekbone, and it was obvious that it was caused by a sharp weapon. Although it was covered by hair, it was still easy to see.
Li Hehua said inwardly, "Oh my god, this girl's face is the work of the original owner, right?" Is she going to be blamed again? Oh my god, if this is really the work of the original owner, then it is really a sin. In ancient times, a woman's appearance was too important. If there was a scar on her face, it would be very difficult to say anything about her. This would be equivalent to ruining the girl's life.
Li Hehua felt like kneeling down to the original owner and almost wanted to cover her face and run away, but in order to find out where her mother's family was, she gritted her teeth and stayed.
Li Hehua didn't dare to look at the young girl's face. He just looked at Wu Fangshi and said, "I just want to go back to my parents' home. What's the matter?"
Seeing that Li Hehua was still so arrogant even after being divorced, Wu Fang was furious. "You are an abandoned woman, yet you dare to be so arrogant? Will your family want you? What a joke! I'll see how arrogant you can be when the time comes!"
Li Hehua rolled his eyes and said calmly, "Why don't my family members want me anymore? I'll go home and show you!"
Wu Fang raised her lips sarcastically, "Then go ahead. Why are you going this way? When did your parents move? I think you are too embarrassed to go back, right?"
Li Hehua now realized that she had gone in the wrong direction, but this was a good opportunity.
Li Hehua pretended to be embarrassed and angry after being exposed, and shouted: "I am going back to my mother's house, why don't I dare to go back! How do you know that I am not going back to my mother's house! Don't I know where my mother's house is?"
Wu Fang thought she had exposed Li Hehua, and laughed, "I don't know? Your mother's home, Lijiazhuang, is clearly in the east, but you ran to the west. Are you going home? Tell me, what mother's home are you going back to? You just don't have the face to go back!"
It worked! It turned out that the original owner's family was in the east, called Lijiazhuang.
Li Hehua achieved his goal and felt happy. He was too lazy to talk to the woman anymore. He threw down his bag, turned around and walked eastward, ignoring the sarcasm from the people behind him. Wu Fang was so angry that she stomped her feet.
Li Hehua quickened his pace and headed east. After a while, he was out of the village and walked along the road to the east. Whenever he met someone walking on the road, he would go up to them and ask where Lijiazhuang was. Fortunately, it was not far away, and he soon found Lijiazhuang with the help of passers-by.
Li Hehua wiped the sweat from his head, prepared himself mentally, and walked into the village resolutely.
As soon as she entered the village, she met an acquaintance, a woman in her forties. When she saw Li Hehua, she showed a slightly unhappy look on her face, but because they were from the same village, she still greeted her, "Hey, Hehua is back home."
Li Hehua smiled and nodded, but did not say anything because she did not know how to address this person.
Fortunately, the woman didn't feel strange about her attitude. She just said, "Then you should go back soon." Then she waved her hand and was about to leave.
Li Hehua didn't know where her home was, so he quickly grabbed the woman's hand and said with a smile, "Aunt, come with me to my home and have a seat."
The woman looked surprised, as if she was frightened by what Li Hehua said.
Li Hehua also knew that her words were different from the original owner's style, but she couldn't do anything about it, because she didn't know where the original owner's home was. So Li Hehua simply pretended to be very enthusiastic and grabbed the woman's arm and pulled her away, saying as she walked: "Come on, auntie, it's been a long time since we last met. Come home with me and talk. I've been divorced and I'm going to live in my parents' home from now on."
Li Hehua deliberately revealed the fact that she was divorced. Given women's gossipy nature, the woman would definitely be willing to follow her back to listen to the gossip.
As expected, when the woman heard the last sentence, her original resistance immediately subsided, and she followed Li Hehua reluctantly. When she saw that Li Hehua had gone to the wrong place, she pulled her to change the direction, "How could you even go to the wrong place, kid?"
Li Hehua pretended to smile absentmindedly, making the woman think that she was sad because she was divorced, so she didn't care about it and simply took her away. In fact, he couldn't wait to watch the fun.
