Chapter 127: Coaxing Food
Wang Chunzhi grabbed Li Hongmei's hand and wiped the corners of her eyes:
"Hongmei, when you first married into the Lao Yun family, our family bought you a thick dowry! Marry you to the old Yun family in a beautiful way!
Now the family is in trouble, and they are so poor that they can't even gnaw on the bark of a tree. It's okay for your brother and I to starve to death, you can't just watch your mother and your eldest nephews starve to death! The family has been without cooking for two days, and my mother still doesn't know if she can survive until tomorrow......"
Li Hongmei heard that her mother hadn't eaten for two days, so she was so anxious that her eyes were red, so she took out the last three nests from the crockpot and stuffed them into Wang Chunzhi's hands together with malt cream:
“…… Sister-in-law, you take these nests back to pad your mother's stomach first, and I'll talk to Erchuan at night to see if I can borrow a few catties of food from his father......"
Wang Chunzhi took the wowotou and malt milk essence and put them in a cloth bag, then sighed and said:
"Alas, no wonder my mother stopped me from coming over before...... My mother said that you are not at home in Lao Yun's family, and I am embarrassing you by opening this mouth with you...... Alas, what my mother said is right, no matter how developed this old Yun family is, you can't take care of things......"
These specious words made Li Hongmei a little confused, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" How did the old Yun family get started? ”
"You don't know?" Wang Chuncheng raised his eyebrows and pulled Li Hongmei to sit down on the edge of the kang, "Didn't the people of their old Yun family tell you?" ”
"Say what?" Li Hongmei became more and more confused, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with Lao Yun's family?" ”
Seeing that Li Hongmei really didn't know, Wang Chunzhi slapped his thigh and scolded hatefully:
"It is said that the people of the old Yun family are kind and easy to deal with, I think it is the top treacherous and cowardly! How can there be such a bully! The daughter-in-law who has been married for five or six years is not a family, and she doesn't hide any good things, this is bullying our old Li family! ”
"Hongmei, I went back to my parents' house yesterday and met your second sister-in-law...... It's He Meiju. She told me, your family stole 1,000 catties of grain from Lao Wang's family, and 200 yuan, don't you know about this? ”
Li Hongmei's brain exploded with a bang, a thousand catties of grain, and two hundred yuan, what kind of concept is this?
1,000 catties of food, enough for her and Yun Erchuan, and a plug to eat with an open belly for a year and be rich!
If you put it in a sack, it can fill ten bags of hemp!
And two hundred, that's a year's salary for an apprentice in the city!
With so much food and money, no one from the Lao Yun family said a word to her.
In the past two years, in order to save food rations for her family, she only dared to eat two nests every day, and when she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it, she drank water to satisfy her hunger, she thought about the old Yun family in everything, but the old Yun family treated her as an outsider, and she didn't tell her when she got so much food, which was too chilling!
“…… Sister-in-law, the grain was given by the old Wang family, and the ...... for Yun Dachuan's room? ”
"You're stupid!"
Wang Chunzhi affectionately stretched out his finger to poke Li Hongmei's head, "Yun Dachuan's house is now a little girl and a madman, the two of them can't even live their lives, and they can't rely on your father-in-law and mother-in-law, rely on you and Erchuan to raise?" What's the difference between this and not having a family? Since there is no separation, the 1,000 catties of grain and 200 yuan will be you and Erchuan's share! You can't just push out the benefits in a fool's hand! ”
Seeing Li Hongmei with a wooden face, sitting there for a long time and unable to come back to his senses, Wang Chunzhi pursed his lips and continued:
"Hongmei, I see that your life in Lao Yun's family is not easy now, and even the sister-in-law who can't marry dares to talk to you! Don't be like a fool, don't fight for anything, don't care about anything, otherwise this family won't have your share in talking in the future!
Besides, this old Yun family is too thin. Yun Dachuan's room has been abandoned, and there is only one bolt in front of you and Erchuan, and when the bolt is bigger, there is no bolt to help if something happens at home! ”
"Hongmei, the relationship between this person and people is all dealt with. You have to often take the bolt home and walk around, and deal with the relationship with your mother's family, and if something happens in the future, you will shout, and your big nephews will come to support you if they can't hulala! ”
Wang Chunzhi's words can be said to be on Li Hongmei's heart.
Over the years, every year when she returned to her parents' house for the New Year, she would be looked down upon because she couldn't get a decent New Year's gift, and even the bolt was not treated well with her.
During the Chinese New Year last year, her mother gave her eldest sister's son a dime to press the New Year's money, and gave several eldest grandsons five cents to press the New Year's money.
Her mother did this because the eldest brother-in-law had the ability, and the eldest sister had the thickest New Year's gift when she returned to her parents' house, so she was especially treated by her mother and several brothers and sisters-in-law.
Even a few nephews of the mother's family like to run after the butt of the eldest sister and child.
During the meal, her mother also said in front of the family, so that the eldest sister would have something to say in the future, several nephews in the family are soldiers under the eldest sister, and where to fight, the eldest sister will definitely be protected tightly, and the eldest sister's children will be properly foiled.
Li Hongmei didn't say anything, but she was really envious in her heart.
After eating, she also went out with the bolt in her arms, and let the bolt play with a few nephews, hoping that they would have a good relationship since they were young and help each other when they grow up.
But a few nephews not only didn't play with a bolt, but also pushed him around like a tumbler and laughed, laughing at the bolt with a big head and a thin body, they were more than a year old, and they couldn't even stand steadily.
Li Hongmei didn't speak at the time, but after returning from her mother's house, she hugged the bolt and cried.
At that time, she thought that one day she would go back to her parents' house with a thick New Year's gift, let her mother treat her as a guest, let a few nephews also run with her bolt, and let her mother also say that a few nephews were her soldiers, where she pointed, a few nephews would hit where, and when the bolt was bigger, several nephews would also have to help the bolt properly.
At this time, after listening to the news brought by Wang Chunzhi, Li Hongmei was cold to the old Yun family, and felt that her opportunity to raise her eyebrows in her mother's house had arrived.
With that 1,000 catties of grain, who in her mother's family would dare not slap her?
Even her mother has to pile up smiling faces, and call her with her heart and liver!
Not to mention a couple of nephews, who will definitely have to run behind the bolt ass......
Li Hongmei wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled at Wang Chunzhi, "Sister-in-law, you wait for me, my father-in-law will carry back half a bag of shelled sorghum rice in the morning, and I will go and scoop ten catties for you, so that my mother and a few nephews can make do with it for a few days." “
Wang Chunzhi's eyes lit up, 'Let's make do for a few days!? Listen to this meaning, will you give food in the future?
It's a pity, Li Hongmei's stupidity doesn't mean that the people of the Lao Yun family are stupid, this time there is no one in the Lao Yun family, so she can pick Li Hongmei to take out the food, and wait for the next time, how can the Lao Yun family still let Li Hongmei touch the food at home......
"Hongmei, this bit of food can only make do with a family for three days, and the old Yun family is not short of food now, you can't watch your mother starve with a loss of conscience!"
When Li Hongmei heard this, she thought about it, and scooped up four or five more bowls, and filled twenty catties of grain before she gave up.
