Chapter Ninety-One: The Skinny Monkey in the Brick Kiln
An Jiajia looked at the pair of old but kind old people in front of her, they are still so good to He Xianglan, no wonder He Xianglan's personality is so gentle, it turns out to be genetic!
An Jiajia is still very satisfied with her grandparents, fortunately they are not as terrible as Wang Shuiqin, and He Xianglan's maiden family has a simple population, and there is only one younger brother below. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When An Jiajia and the others went home, He Xianglan's younger brother hadn't come back yet, so she didn't have a chance to meet.
An Guodong has very few relatives here, I heard An Yingying say before that many people died during the famine, that is, many relatives were lost at that time!
Li Zhibing followed Zhao Meili to see his grandmother, who was no longer there. The population on Zhao Meili's side is a bit complicated, mainly because there are many contradictions between concubines, and Zhao Meili doesn't like to get along with them.
After lunch, Zhao Meili proposed to leave, so Li Zhibing followed home.
When they got home, they found Wang Shuiqin smiling and sending a woman out of the door, and the woman greeted them with a smile.
Zhao Meili didn't know this woman, but she didn't like to ask Wang Shuiqin about it, so everyone didn't care about it.
Because of Wang Shuiqin, many relatives of the Li family did not interact with them, so on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the Li family finished their relatives.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Li Zhibing had been bored at home for ten days, he didn't speak, no one knew what he was thinking, and Zhao Meili didn't have time to care about him.
"Happy New Year!" At this time, a middle-aged man walked in at the gate of the courtyard, he was thin, his face looked like a black man, and when he smiled, a chrysanthemum bloomed in the corner of his eye.
"Hey, skinny monkey, you're here!" Wang Shuiqin hurriedly got up to greet him, and his face was even more smiling.
Zhao Meili and Li Guanghui were confused, they didn't know what Wang Shuiqin was doing, when did their family have such a good relationship with the thin monkey?
"Come in and sit, come in!" Wang Shuiqin enthusiastically invited the thin monkey in, and of course Zhao Meili and Li Guanghui didn't look good at New Year's Day, so they all greeted him with a smile and asked him to drink tea and eat peanuts.
The thin monkey drank a cup of tea, grabbed a handful of peanuts and ate them, and then spoke to everyone. "What about people?"
"At home, beautiful, go and call the volunteers out!" Wang Shuiqin said.
"Why do you want to call the soldiers out?" Zhao Meili was puzzled, the thin monkey looked at Zhao Meili and then at Wang Shuiqin, Wang Shuiqin stood up and walked in front of Zhao Meili, and whispered to her: "Hurry up and call, hurry up!" ”
Zhao Meili felt strange, but she was pushed out by Wang Shuiqin and walked to Li Zhibing's room for some reason.
"Zhibing, come out, there are guests coming!" Zhao Meili saw Li Zhibing sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, touching his hair and pulling him out.
Li Zhibing did not refuse, and followed Zhao Meili to the living room. When Li Zhibing came in, the thin monkey immediately looked at Li Zhibing, and Li Zhibing immediately frowned when he saw his appearance.
"Is that him?" The thin monkey looked at Li Zhibing, speaking loudly, and there were even chewed white peanuts on the corner of his mouth, Li Zhibing subconsciously hated this person.
"Yes, yes, look at ......" Wang Shuiqin smiled with chrysanthemums on his face, and Zhao Meili and Li Guanghui were still confused.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Zhao Meili couldn't see it, the thin monkey kept looking at Li Zhibing, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"What for? Zhibing is nine years old after the New Year, and the thin monkey promised to let him work in the brick kiln, otherwise where will Zhikang's tuition come from? Wang Shuiqin said confidently.
"Brick kiln?" Zhao Meili was shocked, why did she forget that the thin monkey was working in the brick kiln! "No, I don't agree!"
Li Zhibing is only 9 years old, and he will definitely not be able to work in a brick kiln! "Zhikang's tuition was originally paid by me and Li Guanghui, so you don't have to worry about this matter!"
"Why don't I bother? Zhikang is 11 years old and will go to junior high school next year, can you afford the tuition? Wang Shuiqin said with a sneer.
Zhao Meili was angry, yes, Zhikang's tuition is indeed a burden on the family, because Li Guanghui's work is not very good, and it is about the same as her own work.
After the rice and grain at home are handed over to the public grain, there is nothing left to eat, where is the surplus food to make up for the tuition?
But no matter what, Zhao Meili can't let Li Zhibing go to the brick kiln, the work there is tired and dirty, Li Zhibing is only 9 years old, how can she be willing?
"Li Guanghui, you speak!" Zhao Meili anxiously pulled Li Guanghui and said.
"Mom, you don't have to worry about the tuition, I'll make it up, isn't there another year? Yes, the soldiers really can't go to the brick kiln to work! "Li Guanghui didn't go to the brick kiln himself, so why would he let Li Zhibing go.
"Humph! I don't expect you, I brought up the soldiers, I'm old, you don't give me money to spend, I have to let him make money for me to spend! Wang Shuiqin was not ashamed at all when he said this.
"When did Zhibing let you raise it?" Zhao Meili was really angry with Wang Shuiqin's cheekiness, "Zhibing is my own big, I won't agree to this matter!" ”
"Zhao Meili, did you talk to your mother-in-law like this? Li Zhibing didn't let me eat pork when he was born, how much rice has he eaten over the years, what's wrong with me letting him make money? I don't need your consent to do this, I'll just nod my head! ”
"Mom, I won't let Zhibing go!" Li Guanghui also said with a cold face, "Thin monkey, it's okay for you to come to our house today, but you can't take the soldiers away!" ”
The thin monkey doesn't matter, "I don't care how you decide, it's just that I wasn't available a few days ago, so I let people come to see it first, and the introduction fee was given, and you didn't let me take people away, wouldn't I be empty of people and money?" ”
Zhao Meili and Li Guanghui looked at each other, and immediately looked at Wang Shuiqin, "Mom, Zhibing is your own grandson, you are selling him by doing this!" Zhao Meili was so angry that she trembled all over, and she couldn't stop her tears.
"Mom, you give money to others!" Li Guanghui said in a deep voice.
Wang Shuiqin was not weak at all, drinking tea and eating peanuts and said: "If you want money, you have to die!" ”
The thin monkey drank tea while eating peanuts as if watching a play, "She is your mother, and you give it the same, if you don't give me the introduction fee, I have to take him away!" ”
"No way!" Zhao Meili protected Li Zhibing behind her, "Mom, hurry up and take out the money!" ”
But Wang Shuiqin pretended not to hear, "No money!" ”
Li Guanghui closed his eyes, went back to the room without saying a word, and took out the money after a while, "How much?" ”
"Two bucks." Skinny Monkey said.
"Take the money and go!" Li Guanghui gave the money to the thin monkey, and the thin monkey took the money and said thank you with a smile, and then left.
Zhao Meili was so angry that she couldn't speak, Li Zhibing stood behind her expressionlessly, where he was not exposed to the sun, he lowered his head, his face was hidden in the dark, and no one knew what he was thinking.
