Chapter 139: Li Jie
Li Jie is a bit shy and doesn't like to talk much.
He Yiran is happy and unfamiliar, and he can hardly say a few words a day, but he also takes care of them and always does something for them silently.
For example: help them prepare the meal every time they eat, put the best dishes in front of them, and order mosquito coils in advance when they are about to rest...... Originally, he also poured out his room for guests from afar.
Later, Di Tingshen transferred a few RVs from the resort, and they usually spent the night in the RV and rested, so his room did not move.
It's the same today, Yi Xinran and Di Tingshen washed their hands and ate when they sent their parents back, and the food was already set up after washing their hands.
Everyone at the dinner table was quiet, and there was hardly any sound except for the slight clash of dishes and spoons.
There are not so many rules in the countryside, there is no food or sleep, and Li Nan also has something to say when there are many people, but now there are only the four of them, but she doesn't say a word.
She didn't speak, and Li Jie was speechless.
Obviously in their own home, the sister and brother are very reserved.
Yi Xinran took the initiative to speak and said to Li Nan: "Say whatever you want, don't hold it in your heart, you have to say it sooner or later." ”
Yesterday, Yi Xinran overheard Li Nan's sister and brother discussing, saying that they would tell her something after the funeral, and they were afraid that she would be unhappy or something.
Yi Xinran didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations, just heard a vague sentence, and then walked away.
When I saw the two of them at dinner today, it was not very natural, and she always looked like she wanted to talk and stopped, anyway, there was no one else there, so she simply picked it out directly.
Li Nan's face was slightly red, and he asked weakly: "Did you hear what we said yesterday?" ”
"Hmm."
Yi happily admitted: "I didn't listen to it all, I either deliberately eavesdropped on what you were saying, or I overheard a sentence when I was passing by." ”
Li Nan stood up and left.
Yi Xinran: ......
Suddenly, she returned, holding a tattered blue cloth bag on the table, carefully opening it layer by layer.
The blue cloth bag was opened, and inside was a white cloth bag, and the white cloth opened to reveal a layer of red cloth, and the red cloth was also untied, revealing another layer of cloth bag with blue flowers on a white background, what to say...... It's very similar to a matryoshka doll.
The final cloth bag opened, revealing several pieces of gold jewelry: an old-fashioned gold ring, a pair of gold earrings, and a gold bracelet.
Li Nan picked up the heavy gold bracelet and put it in front of Yi Xinran: "This is for you." ”
She put the ring in front of her brother again, "Applejack, the ring is for you." ”
In the end, she picked up an earring, put it in her breast pocket very preciously, and finally pointed to the last gold earring in the bag and said, "This is only for the eldest sister." ”
After Li Nan finished dividing the things, he took out the account book and began to settle the accounts, and there were a lot of accounts, but they were also clear.
Aunt Zhang in the front yard gave a salute of two hundred.
Brother Wang at the entrance of the village saluted three hundred.
The neighbor in the backyard saluted 200 ......
When she started reading, Yi Xinran didn't interrupt, because she thought it was quite interesting, three hundred and two hundred gifts, the most five hundred, eight hundred, no matter how high it was, there would be no more.
But when they came to the banquet, they dragged their families with them, and the whole family ate for several days.
Of course, there is no ambiguity when helping, as long as you say something, someone will take the initiative to bring it from home.
The human touch is enough, but the gift money is too small, and Yi Xinran is not disgusted with the lack of gift money, she mainly thinks it is fresh and has never seen it.
Li Nan read it with one stroke, and after reading more than a dozen strokes, he happily listened to it enough, and interrupted: "Second sister, what are you doing with this?" ”
Li Nan said: "Reconciliation, these gifts plus my mother's savings over the years, and then remove the cost of our mother's funeral, I discussed it with my eldest sister, and divided it into two parts, one for you and one for each younger brother." ”
Yi Xinran: ......
Li Jie objected: "No, I made it very clear yesterday, you can't divide it like this, if you want to divide it, you will divide it into four equal parts, one for each person." ”
Yi Xinran now gradually understands a little, it turns out that it is a division of family property.
She stated: "I don't want it, I don't want anything at home." ”
As she spoke, she picked up the heavy gold bracelet and put it in front of Li Nan.
Li Nan's face turned red: "No, you can't return it, this bracelet was divided by my mother when she was alive, and my mother said that she would leave the bracelet to you, because the person she owes the most is you." ”
"There's nothing to owe or owe, I can't ask for it, if you have to give it, then give me an earring, I'll exchange it for a bracelet."
Yi Xinran thought, since it is kept for thoughts, why can't you do thoughts?
What's more, she doesn't have any relationship with her biological mother, and she attended the funeral when she saw her, so it doesn't make much sense to think about it or not.
But she was very touched, originally she was afraid that the Li family, like the Song family, would target her and want to brainwash her into Voldemort.
She hadn't said it, but she did.
Yi Xinran is not a person with a soft personality who can be bullied casually, if the Li family wants to lie on her and suck blood, she naturally has countless ways to deal with them, but now the Li family can't do this kind of thing.
Didn't expect it to be like this.
Shock.
Yi Xinran is accustomed to seeing wealthy families or ordinary families fight their heads and blood on the issue of property distribution, as if their own conditions are not good, and they are humble to each other, which is really rare.
She didn't want a gold bracelet, Li Nan and Li Jie were very anxious, especially Li Jie, the young man's tears almost fell in a hurry.
"Third sister, don't you still hold a grudge against your parents for giving you away? It's all my fault, if it weren't for them wanting a boy, you wouldn't have been sent away, third sister, and you should have a grudge against your parents, but they're all gone now, can you please forgive them? ”
"Although your parents didn't raise you, our bodies and skin are affected by our parents, and there must be a boy in the village to put too much pressure on my parents, if I didn't send you away, if I wasn't a boy, our homestead would not be able to be saved, and everyone would even have a problem with survival."
Li Jie didn't say much, and the two sentences not only showed that Yi Xinran was reasonable no matter what he did, but also showed that the environment at that time was like this, not that his parents were patriarchal, but that he was forced to do so.
Li Nan nodded desperately: "Yes, yes, Ajie is right, that's it...... However, my parents couldn't help it back then, after you were sent away, my mother almost cried blind, and she didn't sleep all night, thinking of you......"
Li Nan talks a lot and has no focus.
It's all trivial things in life, but they are all truthful, and they are sincere, which touches themselves and others.
The last few people had wet eyes, and Yi happily told the sisters and brothers that she didn't hold a grudge against her parents, since she was thinking about it, it didn't matter what she wanted, and everything she took was the same.
She also made it clear that the gift money does not need to be shared, because the number of times she will come back in the future is limited, and the future contacts will have to be with the people who stay in the village, so the money does not need to be shared with her.
There is also the property left by Li's mother, if it is divided between the two of them, she will not participate, but she is responsible for all the expenses at the funeral.
