Chapter 23: Alive

Duan Yunfei and his entourage had been watching outside the hall, and when he saw Zhou Xinghua rushing in, he inexplicably felt a burst of anger in his heart.

Duan Yunfei hasn't known Li Xueyan for a long time, but how she has come over the years can be seen from the life he has seen in her these days.

He had seen her at her most depressed, and heard others speak ill of her. It was precisely because of knowing these and being able to understand Li Xueyan's situation that Duan Yunfei felt angry and even disgusted with Zhou Xinghua's behavior.

After retreating, the crowd of onlookers walked outside while talking noisily. Duan Yunfei was a little worried about Li Xueyan's emotions, so he wanted to step aside and wait first.

Duan Yunfei could see that Li Xueyan was a revenge master, so this time she must have great expectations for the result, it is estimated that she herself did not expect such a show in the end, and now she must be very disappointed.

When he retreated to the side, because Duan Yunfei had been thinking about Li Xueyan in his heart, he didn't know when he was accidentally squeezed, he instinctively wanted to avoid it, but accidentally bumped into a person again.

Quickly reached out and grabbed the man's arm, and Duan Yunfei was able to stand firm. At this time, Duan Yunfei realized that he was holding a good-looking woman.

But this is not bad, but compared to other girls in the town, if it is Li Xueyan, it is worse.

"I'm sorry, girl." After Duan Yunfei stabilized the person, he immediately let go of his hand, and then walked to the side without looking back, waiting for Li Xueyan to come out.

He didn't pay much attention to this girl, but the girl fell in love with Duan Yunfei at first sight.

"Xue Qing? What are you looking at? Go back quickly. ”

"Huh? Huh! ”

Li Xueqing's mother suddenly made a voice before she took her eyes back, and hurriedly trotted to follow. The man just now...... Thinking of Duan Yunfei's face and the temperature of his palm when he grabbed his arm, Li Xueqing couldn't help but blush.

Duan Yunfei stood outside and waited for a long time before Li Xueyan helped Zhao Jiabao and walked out slowly.

"Why are you so slow?" Duan Yunfei glanced at Li Xueyan dissatisfiedly, to be precise, it was Li Xueyan holding Zhao Jiabao's hand.

Didn't he just know this man? Even if someone saves you once, you don't need to be so close to him, right?

Duan Yunfei didn't realize it himself, and he unconsciously attached such importance to Li Xueyan to this point.

Li Xueyan snorted at Li Youzi and Zhou Xinghua and said, "It's not because they're unreasonable. ”

"Who do you say? It's really been three days without a house to uncover the tiles, right? Li Youzi was like thunder, and was dragged by Zhou Xinghua to death, so he was comforted, and he barely quieted down.

Several people maintained the apparent peace and walked out of the county office, and when they were about to separate, Li Xueyan stopped Zhou Xinghua.

"Mother, I have something I want to tell you." Li Xueyan calmly looked at their backs and spoke.

Zhou Xinghua's footsteps paused, and it seemed that she turned her head to look at Li Xueyan with great difficulty, and finally nodded.

"There's a lot of people here, let's go over there and talk about it."

After Li Xueyan finished speaking, she turned around and left first, Zhou Xinghua glanced at Li Youzi a little timidly, but fortunately, he just looked pale and didn't mean to stop it, so he was relieved. In the direction where Li Xueyan left, he quickly followed.

"Mother knows, if there is no intercession from you today, that person will definitely not get good, maybe he will be locked up in it for three years and five years. Isn't it enough that you are oppressed by him on a daily basis? Don't you feel disgusted by those days? ”

Zhou Xinghua smiled bitterly: "Where would I not know?" But Yan'er, since Yue'er got married, her mother only had a daughter like you, and you have left now. I'm alone in the Li family, I'm just your father, I can't lose him anymore, you know? ”

"But what can he give you? Can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes to live? Working endlessly from morning till night every day? If you're happy, you can fight if you're not happy, and you never treat us as human beings, is this kind of day what my mother wants? Li Xueyan couldn't help but raise her voice slightly and asked.

Zhou Xinghua didn't know how her daughter had become like this now, she would swallow her anger no matter what happened before, let alone sue her father and sister-in-law to the yamen, she didn't even dare to speak loudly at home, and now she would come to tell her what to do and what not to do.

But that's fine, Zhou Xinghua showed a somewhat reassuring smile.

Li Xueyan didn't understand what happened to her mother suddenly, why was she laughing?

Facing Li Xueyan's puzzled gaze, Zhou Xinghua said softly: "It's not that my mother doesn't want to leave, what kind of life I have lived in the Li family for so many years, and I know how many grievances I have in my heart." But when I stepped into the door of the Li family, I was destined to stay there for the rest of my life, and Li Youzi will always be my husband, and I will stand on his side no matter what. ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, child, my mother envy you very much, you can leave regardless of other people's opinions, and you can leave the Li family far away. My mother is old, and she can't stand the gossip of others, and she has lived well and badly in this life, and it's already like this, and she can't change it. If you complain about today's matter, complain about your mother, it's your mother who is sorry for you. But you have to promise your mother to live well with Xiao Nuan. ”

After Zhou Xinghua finished speaking, she left, Li Xueyan stood in place and was a little stunned, and her posture did not change.

From Zhou Xinghua's body, Li Xueyan seems to have seen the misfortune of all women in this era. In this world where men are inferior to women, no matter what wrong things men do, they will eventually be forgiven by their wives, because they are women's heaven and women's dependence.

And once the woman gets married, she will fall into the situation that her husband's family does not kiss her mother's family and does not love her, and any grievances in her heart can only be swallowed in her stomach with broken teeth.

Pathetic and pathetic.

As long as a woman makes a mistake, let alone be forgiven, it is already a blessing to not be drowned in gossip. Wrong things seem to be infinitely magnified in a woman's body, just like a woman must be cautious in her words and deeds and tremble for a lifetime.

"Silly?" Duan Yunfei saw that Zhou Xinghua had come back, and had already left with the scolding Li Youzi, and Li Xueyan had disappeared for a long time, so he hugged Li Xiaonuan and came in.

When I found Li Xueyan, I saw that she didn't move, as if she was in a daze, so she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes.

Li Xiaonuan probably thought it was funny, and waved his little hand in front of Li Xueyan's eyes.

Li Xueyan came back to her senses at this time, thinking of what Zhou Xinghua said just now, and asked her to take Li Xiaonuan to live well. Inexplicably, Li Xueyan's nose was sour for a while, and she reached out and hugged Li Xiaonuan.

Li Xiaonuan originally just thought that her mother's appearance in a daze was more interesting, but she didn't expect that suddenly her eyes would be red, and Li Xiaonuan, who was not sensible, suddenly panicked.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Li Xiaonuan was hugged tightly by Li Xueyan, she didn't know what was going on, she wanted to break away from Li Xueyan's arms, and wanted to see what happened to her mother.

"Mother's fine, don't move, let me hug me for a while." Li Xueyan sniffed.

"Oh......" Listening to her words, Li Xiaonuan quickly settled down and stopped moving, and even patted Li Xueyan's back comfortably with her short, powerless arm.

After a long time, Li Xueyan whispered, not knowing whether it was for herself or to Li Xiaonuan: "We all have to live well." ”

Li Xiaonuan was also very cooperative with her, and nodded vigorously in her arms, "Hmm! ”

"Eh, why are you still here?" As soon as Li Xueyan looked up, she saw Duan Yunfei, who had been standing next to her and had been waiting for a long time without speaking.

Duan Yunfei: "......" co-authored that you only saw me now?

He was made angry for a while by Li Xueyan's sudden question, nor was he angry, and his face was a little distorted.

Li Xueyan snorted and laughed, "Teasing you, I always knew you were standing here, but I didn't really want to talk just now, so I hung you here, I'm sorry." ”

Duan Yunfei's face improved a little at this time.

But Li Xueyan's next words made him feel that he was happy too early.

"What about Zhao Jiabao? Has he already gone back? ”

Zhao Jiabao Zhao Jiabao! Open and close your mouth is the weak scholar, what's so good about the scholar? Is I tall? Am I handsome? Do I have money?

Li Xueyan saw that Duan Yunfei's expression was very exciting, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she asked again, "What about Zhao Jiabao?" ”

Duan Yunfei said: "His parents took him back to continue recuperating from his injuries. ”

"Oh, that's good."

"What about you, what are you going to do next?" Duan Yunfei asked.

Li Xueyan glanced at him inexplicably, "What do you mean by how to do it?" You're asking weird. ”

Duan Yunfei explained: "Haven't all your things been stolen? What should I do with zongzi, and do I continue to sell them? ”

"Then I must continue to sell, this time I was stolen and I was unlucky, but fortunately, the money is coming back, and I have not lost anything except for making a few more trips."

This answer was expected by Duan Yunfei, Li Xueyan was still the Li Xueyan he knew, and he really didn't give up so easily.

"What about you?" Li Xueyan asked suddenly.

"Me?"

"Let's go buy materials together?"

"...... "Okay, I'll continue to work as a coolie for you."

In the next few days, Li Xueyan's business was very smooth. The new flavors she launched were very popular, and gradually, Li Xueyan made new prices for the zongzi according to their popularity and the price of the raw materials.

Later, the more she was able to grasp the amount she needed to do every day, and she had a regular income.

The peaceful daily life lasted for a while, and when selling zongzi these days, Li Xueyan always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

That feeling was like being stared at by someone, but every time Li Xueyan put down what she was doing and wanted to find out who was staring at her, there was no clue.

Since restarting the stall, Duan Yunfei has come to help every day. It's not accurate to say that she is helping, because Li Xueyan didn't expect that this man with a lot of money would actually ask her for a salary.

What is this? Rich boy experience civilian life? Metamorphosis?

On this day, Li Xueyan asked while packing up her things: "Do you feel as if you have been targeted these days?" ”

Duan Yunfei stopped what he was doing and nodded slightly seriously, "I feel it." ”

But the business of their stall is really good, so Duan Yunfei, a person with excellent martial arts, every time he wants to find out the person in the shadows, he will be interrupted by Li Xueyan's new orders, which directly causes him to not find out that person.
