At this time, Li Xueyan finally spoke, "Yes, mother, I haven't fulfilled my filial piety as a daughter for so many years, what about you this time, isn't it okay for us to do it?" ”

The two of them are like this, you say a word to me, even if Zhou Xinghua is really unwilling in her heart, she has nothing to say. What's more, the reason for her refusal is not that she really doesn't want new clothes.

Even if the other party is her daughter, living in Li Xueyan's house can be regarded as a parasitic for Zhou Xinghua. Zhou Xinghua originally came over with guilt for Li Xueyan, wanting to compensate her, take care of her, and make up for the lack of love for her over the years.

When Li Xueyan was at home, she didn't have the ability to take good care of her, but now that Li Xueyan has grown up, there are other people around her, and she no longer needs her care. All Zhou Xinghua can do now is to take care of Li Xiaonuan as Li Xueyan.

Li Xueyan did what she said, and at the end of the day today, all the time was reserved for Zhou Xinghua. From eating and wearing to eating and drinking tea, Li Xueyan prepared it for her at one time.

At the beginning, Zhou Xinghua would still be afraid of Li Xueyan and they needed money or something now, but it was embarrassing to refuse once or twice, and it would be hypocritical to refuse too much, in that case, not only Li Xueyan would feel annoyed, to be honest, Zhou Xinghua herself might not be able to stand it.

So, the person in charge of selecting things and spending money today is Li Xueyan, and the coolie is responsible for it, which naturally falls on Duan Yunfei's head.

And Duan Yunfei could only say that it was obligatory, and when Zhou Xinghua didn't want to help him carry things, he said, this is what I should do as a man, how can I let my aunt do such tiring work?

And Li Xueyan naturally helped Duan Yunfei. Not for him to carry things, of course, but to help him talk.

"Wow, my father and mother went out with my grandmother today to buy a lot of things!" After taking Li Xiaonuan home, she immediately noticed the pile of things piled up at home, and couldn't help but sigh with wide eyes.

Li Xueyan smiled: "Isn't it good for us to buy things for grandma?" ”

Li Xiaonuan hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, I saw my grandmother yesterday and felt that I should buy something for my grandmother." Oh yes, then that won't work. Li Xiaonuan seemed to suddenly think of something.

Li Xueyan was puzzled, "What can't be used?" ”

Li Xiaonuan thought about it, ran to her room, took a small purse out and handed it to Li Xueyan, "This, I want to buy something for my grandmother." ”

Li Xueyan took it and took a look, it contained some copper plates and broken silver, which they had given Li Xiaonuan from time to time these days.

Duan Yunfei and Li Xueyan glanced at each other, obviously they didn't expect that Li Xiaonuan didn't spend money, but saved all the silver.

Li Xueyan asked: "These days, don't you spend the money given by your father and mother?" ”

Li Xiaonuan nodded, "Because there is nothing I want to buy, the money is kept." After meeting my grandmother yesterday, I felt that I had something I wanted to buy. ”

Without Li Xiaonuan's explanation, they all knew what she wanted to buy.

Li Xueyan and they forget it, Zhou Xinghua can be said to be in a state where tears may fall at any time.

She hugged Li Xiaonuan, "Good boy, why are you so sensible?" Grandma hasn't been able to do anything for you both, and you can still think about grandma......"

Li Xiaonuan blinked, "Grandma is very good, I remember that in the past, no one in the family was willing to give us anything to eat, it was all secretly given by grandma, Xiaonuan remembered." ”

"Good boy, really good boy." Zhou Xinghua seemed to use a lot of strength to hold Li Xiaonuan, and she was afraid that she would hurt the child too hard, and she looked a little helpless.

Li Xueyan could see that Li Xiaonuan seemed to be a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say it, so Li Xueyan walked up to them and said, "Okay, mother, I'm tired after a busy day today, let's rest for a while." Xiao Nuan, as your grandson, should be thinking about you. ”

"Okay, I'm just happy, so happy." Zhou Xinghua was indeed very happy, and Li Xueyan could see that her sense of joy was stronger now than when they bought her anything today.

After dinner, Li Xueyan asked Duan Yunfei to take Li Xiaonuan to play, and she sorted out the things she bought today with Zhou Xinghua.

The room that Li Xueyan prepared for Zhou Xinghua is really not dirty, after all, it hasn't been long since their house was built, it's just a little messy. After all, there are too many things to move, and piling them up in the room will look crowded.

When the two of them had almost packed up the things they bought today, Li Xueyan had just sat down to rest, when she suddenly thought of something.

"Mother, there's something I want to ask you." Li Xueyan suddenly spoke.

Zhou Xinghua was also tired, and when she heard this, she didn't think much about it, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"When you married Li ......" Li Xueyan hesitated for a moment and changed her words: "When you married my father, you had a dowry, right?" I remember seeing your jewelry box when I was a kid. ”

Li Xueyan also suddenly remembered when she sat down and saw the mirror just now, in her impression, when she was a child, when she occasionally saw Zhou Xinghua sitting in front of the mirror, she would open one of her jewelry boxes, and at that time, Zhou Xinghua's face would show the expression that an ordinary woman should have.

When she saw those things, Zhou Xinghua seemed to be a real woman.

Other times, she's more like a machine just working in the Li family.

Zhou Xinghua suddenly heard this, and after being stunned, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, "You, why are you suddenly asking this?" In Li Xueyan's opinion, Zhou Xinghua didn't seem to want her to know about it.

But the more Zhou Xinghua is like this, the more doubts in Li Xueyan's heart become.

If she asked, Zhou Xinghua just casually brought it up, Li Xueyan wouldn't think much about it. But the current situation looks too suspicious.

Li Xueyan looked directly into Zhou Xinghua's eyes, "I just remembered it, so I wanted to ask." What's wrong? Is there something wrong with it? ”

Zhou Xinghua hurriedly shook her head, "No, no." ”

"And what about your jewelry box?" Li Xueyan threw out the question again, as if she wouldn't give up without asking clearly.

Zhou Xinghua originally wanted to bring it over vaguely, but Li Xueyan's attitude let her know that this matter was not so easy to solve.

Zhou Xinghua suddenly remembered Li Xueyan when she was kicked out of the Li family, so weak and helpless, as if anything happened to her and knocked her down, which was completely different from her current strong appearance.

With a sigh, Zhou Xinghua still decided to say it.

She knew that with Li Xueyan's temper now, she would definitely not be beaten and scolded like she did at the beginning, so she could only swallow her grievances into her stomach and dare not say anything.

And now Li Xueyan will not only make decisions for herself, but also want to help her get justice.

"I can tell you, but, promise my mother, don't do anything well?" Zhou Xinghua finally spoke, but what she said was still so cowardly.

Li Xueyan felt a little angry.

I don't know if it's angry Zhou Xinghua, or angry with herself, I don't know if it's angry with the people of the Li family, or this unfair era.

Zhou Xinghua said this, and without her explaining in detail, Li Xueyan could guess what the result was. It's nothing more than that the Li family's life can't go on, and they finally started with Zhou Xinghua's jewelry box, which is not big and doesn't have many things inside.

Li Xueyan still knows some of the rules of this era, and the woman marries into a southern family to bring a dowry. However, those dowries, whether before or after marriage, should be the private property of the woman, and even if they are divorced, they can leave with the dowry.

And the current situation is that Zhou Xinghua was only nominally kicked out, and her identity is still Li Youzi's wife.

So no matter what, Zhou Xinghua's dowry should belong to herself, but at this moment, those things were taken by the Li family and they didn't know what they had done, and they didn't know where they were now.

Li Xueyan can imagine what kind of tone and what kind of words Li Youzi used and said when he hit the abacus on Zhou Xinghua's jewelry box.

When did you remember that jewelry box from disappearing? Li Xueyan began to think seriously about this question.

It's a pity that her memory is not so clear, and she really can't remember many things.

"Why not? Mother, now you are not alone, if you want it, I, and Duan Yunfei can completely help you, if you fight a lawsuit, there is no problem at all to get back what should belong to you. "Li Xueyan really can't understand Zhou Xinghua, is her mother really not tempered at all?

Or do you still regard the people of the Li family as her family?

Zhou Xinghua sighed, "No, I really don't need to." Xueyan, this time just listen to my mother, my mother doesn't want to waste time on this matter. ”

"How can it be a waste of effort? As long as the mother wants, she can ......."

"I don't want to."

"Why?" Li Xueyan felt that if she went on like this, she would have a temper if she had no temper.

Zhou Xinghua looked at Li Xueyan for a long time, and finally said: "Mother is not worried that you can't sue the official to sue them, Mother believes that you have the ability to do this now." My mother knows that my Xueyan is very powerful now, and I know that my mother is in charge. But my mother really doesn't want to have any contact with the people of the Li family, and I don't want to be too entangled, can you understand my mother? ”

Li Xueyan was silent for a moment, "Is this what you really think?" If that's the case, Li Xueyan can accept it. As long as it is not because Zhou Xinghua still has any feelings for the Li family and Li Youzi, Li Xueyan can accept it.

Zhou Xinghua nodded.

"That's good." Li Xueyan thought for a while and explained: "I don't have any thoughts about my mother's dowry, I just think that they have done too much, so I will be a little overemotional......

"I don't need to explain, my mother knows it, and I know that you are distressed mother. It's just that it's like this now, and the past has let it pass, and we won't mention it, okay? Zhou Xinghua said softly.

Her mother's words have all been said for this part, how can Li Xueyan have any opinions. And Li Xueyan's thoughts are similar to Zhou Xinghua's, not to mention that she hates the Li family more than Zhou Xinghua, especially Li Youzi. If you don't have anything to do with them, Li Xueyan can't ask for it.

"Okay, this time it's for my mother's sake. There's no next time. Li Xueyan said this, but she also knew in her heart that there could be no next time.

The Li family's debt to Zhou Xinghua has come to an end, and she no longer belongs to the Li family.

Zhou Xinghua's dowry is only one in her life, and it will no longer exist if it is squandered by the Li family. Since she didn't want to go back and look for it, it would be better to raise a dog as charity.
