41. Concubine

Seeing her brother coming out to cook, Tang Li went out, and she took the insole and sewed it while going down to the big banyan tree in the village. It's almost dinner time, and it's the busiest there. Tang Li is another person who likes to join in the fun, she likes to go there when she has nothing to do, anyway, for her, she never does housework, she comes back from the field every day, and she waits for dinner.

A big war had just been quelled at home, and my mother had to chatter for a long time, and when she saw her brother coming out to cook, she quickly slipped away, but she didn't know that another big war broke out at home.

Towards the end of the farming work, Tang Li's work in the field had been completed, and only some wheat stalks were piled up on the field without breaking into chaff.

So today, on the market day, Tang Li used the ten yuan given by her mother to go to the market, ripped off her clothes, and bought some food.

Originally, she was still proud in her heart, but when she heard that her brother's family made 200 yuan on the street once, she was very angry.

Tang Li thought that the money was definitely hidden by them, and it couldn't be lost.

Under the big banyan tree, everyone squatted or stood or sitting, chatting lively.

Li Lihong sat there eating, saw Tang Li coming over, and greeted her warmly, "Xiaoli, come and sit here." ”

Tang Li was a little wary of Li Lihong's sister-in-law.

She is not a good person, she is poisonous, ruthless, full of bad water, Li Xiuying, the invincible machine gun that is noisy all over the village, will get stuck when she meets her, she is not as powerful as Li Xiuying, but her scheming is absolutely strong, and the dog that does not bark will bite, which refers to this kind of person.

Li Lihong married Tang Li's eldest brother Tang Lin for more than a month, and let her mother-in-law Li Xiuying suffer several dumb losses, and then Li Lihong said that she wanted to go out alone, Li Xiuying couldn't wait to agree and send her away like a plague god.

Three years later, Tang Chun got married, and the relationship between the two families was neither salty nor light, Li Xiuying knew that Li Lihong was powerful, so she could be regarded as respecting her eldest son's family! And Li Lihong gave birth to three sons in one go, which also offset some of Li Xiuying's dissatisfaction with her.

The relationship between Li Lihong and her mother-in-law is very good, not far or close, not good or bad, anyway, she is not ambiguous at all when she should take advantage, such as letting her mother-in-law take care of her three sons, Li Xiuying is willing to take care of her grandson, and she works hard, but she scolds the three daughters of her second son's family.

Li Xiuying's attitude towards her second son and daughter-in-law is so bad, and Li Lihong, the mastermind behind the scenes, has contributed a lot.

For example, the girl adopted by Zhao Yulan, Li Lihong spread rumors in the village that it was Zhao Yulan's own illegitimate daughter, and the initiator of this rumor was Li Lihong.

There is no mother-in-law in the world who is not taboo about this, she has a pimple in her heart, and the other party is weak and can be bullied, and Li Xiuying's oppression of Zhao Yulan has formed.

Li Lihong also said behind her back that Zhao Yulan had a defeated husband, Zhao Yulan gave birth to three daughters one after another, and the national family planning policy came out and could not be reborn, didn't this make Tang Chun die? This rumor also successfully thorned in Li Xiuying's heart, and Zhao Yulan was charged with another crime.

From childhood to adulthood, Tang Li has an unspeakable jealousy of this sister-in-law, she thinks she is not stupid, but after suffering Li Lihong's losses a few times, as long as she sees the smiling expression on her sharp-beaked monkey cheek face, it makes people panic.

She rarely approached her side, and even when she did, she was wary of her.

At this time, too, Tang Li was wary of Li Lihong's enthusiasm, she did not sit in the position next to her, but chose a position not far from her.

"Xiaoli! Your wheat harvest is over, so you should relax and go to the market today, right? ”

"Hmm!" Tang Li was perfunctory.

"This year, we will start to contract the responsibility of dividing the production to the households, your family has a large population, and there are many fields, and it is five strong laborers, this year's harvest must be very good, right?"

Tang Li's family had a good wheat harvest this year, and they paid the grain, and the surplus grain was sold for 500 yuan, which she knew, but her father and aunt asked her not to tell the public, because they told the second brother and sister-in-law that they only sold it for 200 yuan.

Tang Li knew that Li Lihong, a cunning woman, was tricking her words!

"I didn't sell much money, you know, I have a lot of family, I have a lot to eat, and I don't have so much surplus food to sell."

Li Lihong didn't continue to dwell on this issue, and changed the topic: "Your second brother and his family also went to the market, and now they're back, right?"

In fact, she had already seen the three daughters of the second family playing with a few children in the village, and she just wanted to find out if there was a war in their family.

Speaking of which, she lit the fire, she clearly knew that the second family received the money for road repair yesterday, and this morning saw their family dressed neatly and went out, she couldn't help but sour water, so she went to her mother-in-law to talk about the road construction money, but she didn't expect that as she thought, the second family did not hand over the money for road repair to Li Xiuying, Li Xiuying changed her face at that time, and after the second family came back from the market, a big war was inevitable.

Since Li Lihong lit the fire, of course she wanted to know how far the fire had burned.

She had often done such things before, lit a fire to her mother-in-law's house, and then admired the disaster situation in their family with relish, and this disaster situation was broadcast through Tang Li, a silly girl who was unabashed.

Later, the people in the village knew about their family's affairs, some people said that Li Xiuying was too much to Zhao Yulan, bullied her badly, and laughed at Tang Chun, married a woman who had an illegitimate daughter before marriage, and treated her as a baby, Li Xiuying told Tang Li that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and not to talk about the fight at home, Tang Li also saw the faces of the people in the village who looked at their jokes, so gradually, she stopped talking about these things.

Li Lihong couldn't ask anything from Tang Li, so she asked the three daughters of the second family, but the three girls were very ghostly and tight-lipped about what happened at home.

Tang Li knew what Li Lihong wanted to know, and she said lightly: "Hmm! My second brother is back, and now my second brother is cooking in the kitchen! ”

Li Lihong's smile was a little stiff, her man Tang Lin was a person who never cooked or cooked, he was an uncle when he came home, he didn't do any housework, at the beginning, she protested a few times, was beaten by him, and didn't dare to count on him anymore.

So she has always been jealous of Tang Chun's kindness to Zhao Yulan, Li Xiuying's viciousness towards her youngest son and daughter-in-law is famous in the village, Tang Chun's kindness to her wife is unique in the village, the old men in the village are all very rough, and they are also rough to their wives, only Tang Chun is gentle and considerate to his wife, and he will always be the appearance of the newlywed.
