Chapter 166: Waste
Luo Li has been very busy these days, going out early and returning late, the hot pot restaurant has entered the final stage of preparation, as his first store, he has to do it himself, many details, small things, he has to think of places that others can't think of, although the final exam is coming soon, but Xu Ying is not good at deliberately asking Luo Li to go back to school to review his homework, knowing that he is busy.
It was already half past ten in the evening when Xu Ying finished grading the mock exam papers, and she had just laid down, when she heard the courtyard door being pushed open, she sat up, and saw Luo Li tiptoeing open the courtyard door through the window, obviously afraid that the sound would affect their mother and daughter's rest, and Xu Ying's heart swelled with warm currents.
Seeing Luo Li return to the room and make instant noodles, Xu Ying couldn't lie down, she put on her clothes and pushed open Luo Li's door, Luo Li, who heard the sound, turned around, and saw Xu Ying in a white nightdress standing behind him, Xu Ying in a white nightdress was like a white lotus in the night, beautiful and moving.
Luo Li grinned: "Why haven't you slept yet?"
"I just lay down and heard you come back, I'll come, you can rest for a while!"
Xu Ying took the instant noodles from his hand, boiled the hot water, laid two eggs, and waited until the water turned over and the flowers bloomed, and then put the instant noodles in.
Luo Li sat on the chair and looked at the pretty and graceful beauty teacher, such a warm atmosphere made this product so comfortable, the back of the beauty teacher was so charming, this product looked at it and unconsciously reacted, fortunately, when Xu Ying turned around, this product quickly covered up the ugliness in his heart and covered up the ugliness.
After taking the fragrant instant noodles from the beautiful teacher, the wolf swallowed it, and when he was almost finished, Xu Ying asked, "Why are you so busy during this time?"
Luo Li wiped his mouth, there was a bottom in his stomach, and he also had strength in his body: "The hot pot restaurant is about to open, and the final sweeping stage cannot be ambiguous, success or failure lies in the details, and the details must not be sloppy." ”
Xu Ying knew that Luo Li was going to open a hot pot restaurant, and I heard Chang Dan say a while ago that Chang Dan went to the provincial capital last week to help Luo Li prepare for the agent in the provincial capital, Luo Li's stall was very large, Xu Ying didn't fully know until she moved here, she really couldn't understand how Luo Li did it.
"No matter how busy you are, you have to pay attention to your body, eat your meals in time, don't be hungry and full, you should rest early!"
After Xu Ying finished speaking, she stood up and was about to leave, when someone knocked lightly on the other side of the courtyard door: "Xiaoying, have you slept!" The night was very quiet, and the sound was immediately captured by the two of them.
Xu Ying said, "It's my brother!" She didn't expect Xu Zhongqiang to come over so late, so she hurriedly went out to open the door for her brother.
Luo Li followed behind her, the courtyard door opened, Xu Zhongqiang was standing at the door, a little haggard, his eyes were deep-set, Xu Ying was startled when he saw his brother's appearance.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Zhongqiang's eyes were red, and he didn't say anything, just said: "Xiaoying, I haven't eaten for two days, you can get me something to eat!"
Xu Ying hurriedly invited Xu Zhongqiang in, and Luo Li said: "Auntie is already asleep, let Brother Xu go to my house, I still have a few bags of instant noodles there, you cook them for him." ”
Xu Ying nodded, it was so late, she was afraid of disturbing her mother, and then let her mother see her brother's haggard appearance.
Xu Zhongqiang followed Luo Li into the house, without saying a word, Luo Li squinted his eyes and guessed what made Xu Zhongqiang so haggard, and ran to his sister in the middle of the night, and saw that his face was bruised, Luo Li faintly guessed.
Xu Ying got down and brought it to her brother, Xu Zhongqiang ate it with a big mouthful, and the tears rolled down as he ate it, as soon as he cried like this, Xu Ying couldn't stand it, since she was a child, her eldest brother was the closest to her, seeing her brother like this, how could she stand it in her heart.
"Brother, what's going on? What do you tell me?" Xu Ying was anxious enough, but Xu Zhongqiang just didn't speak, silently shed tears, and made Xu Ying so anxious.
Luo Li pulled her and motioned to Xu Ying with his eyes not to ask, he glanced at Xu Ying, Xu Ying walked out with Luo Li, and Luo Li pulled her to the small workshop on the oblique side.
"Don't ask, I've already guessed!"
Xu Ying's face was full of anxiety, "What did you guess?
Luo Li said: "It should be related to your sister-in-law!"
Xu Ying said: "I guess it's also because of my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law often bullies him, but he has never been like this!"
"What do you think is the most unbearable thing for a man to have his wife?"
As soon as Luo Li asked, Xu Ying's face changed color in an instant, even if she was naïve, she understood what Luo Li meant, she bit her lip, and said for a long time: "Do you say it's possible?" Xu Ying's voice was so small that she couldn't even hear herself, she really didn't want to believe it.
Luo Li nodded: "I can't run away, look at your brother's performance, if it was just because of a quarrel with your sister-in-law, he would never be so sad, there was no overnight feud between the two of them, but he is so sad now, that's only one point, your sister-in-law did something sorry for him!"
After listening to Luo Li's analysis, Xu Ying's tears flowed down instantly: "How can my sister-in-law be like this, my brother is so good to her, she can't fight back, she doesn't scold back, all the money her brother earns, the work at home is my brother's, and she never let her stretch out her hand, not only that, even if it is their family's work, my brother has also contracted it, and he is so good to her, why does she have to do something sorry for him!"
Luo Li didn't know how to explain to Xu Ying, people's greed for this thing is endless, Xu Zhongqiang is a good brother in Xu Ying's eyes, he is good to his sister-in-law, and he is a good husband, but in Han Yumei's eyes, it may not be.
In Han Yumei's eyes, she can only see her husband's shortcomings, weakness, incompetence, no manliness, and waste, no matter how good she is, she only sees shortcomings, this is the blind spot of human nature, after living together for a long time, all she sees is the shortcomings of the other party.
With a woman with a strong personality like Han Yumei, how could she fall in love with the timid and cowardly Xu Zhongqiang, seeing Xu Zhongqiang's appearance, Luo Li guessed the reason.
In fact, Luo Li's guess was accurate. Last time, Han Yumei introduced her boyfriend to Xu Ying and was boycotted by the whole family, and when the woman returned home, she even picked her nose and eyes at Xu Zhongqiang.
There is a contractor in the village named Wang Dazhi, who is in his forties and is in the prime of life.
A few days ago, Wang Dazhi did things at his house, Xu Zhongqiang was the chef in the village, and he was invited to cook at everyone's house, he was invited to help, Han Yumei went to work as a small worker, Wang Dazhi drank a lot of alcohol that night, he and Han Yumei tacitly took advantage of Xu Zhongqiang's absence, the two eyebrows went to each other, half pushed and half on, and ran to Xu Zhongqiang's house to turn the phoenix upside down.
It was also a coincidence, Xu Zhongqiang was not good at using the tools because he was helping to stir-fry, and he went home to get his own set of tools, which was broken by him, Wang Dazhi turned around and ran away, Xu Zhongqiang went to his house to theoretically, and was beaten by Wang Dazhi again.
was already very guilty, and went home to scold his mother-in-law, the girl not only did not reflect, but also scolded him for not being able to do it, and if he could, she would not steal people, Xu Zhongqiang was so angry that he went to Han Yumei's mother's house, and was beaten by his brother-in-law again.
Xu Zhongqiang felt that this nest was a bag, he wandered outside for a few days, and he had no money on him, so he came to his sister.
