Reborn 1990's Fat Wife Should Be Self-Reliant

Chapter 182

The seasonings are all ready-made at home, and when I got home, I boiled some aniseed water to soak the melon seeds, and Zhou Huilan began to prepare dinner.

It's the winter melon season again, and it's been a long time since I ate winter melon soup. Today, she saw the winter melon was very fresh at the vegetable market, so she bought a piece of it and simmered it in the pot with fresh pork ribs.

The melon seeds were almost soaked, so I turned on another stove and started frying.

Stir-frying melon seeds is a slow work, so there is no rush.

The soaked melon seeds are poured into the pot and stir-fried back and forth with the heat of the iron pan to make each melon seed evenly heated and tasty, but it is indeed tiring to stand by the pot and stir for an hour or so.

She hadn't done such strenuous work for several days, poured the fried melon seeds on the bamboo grate to dry, and turned off the heat of the wax gourd pork ribs cup, Zhou Huilan flicked her wrist, it turned out to be an unexpected soreness.

Lu Changqing hadn't come back yet, Yaoyao was still playing in the small garden, Zhou Huilan stretched her waist, went back to the bedroom and locked the door, grabbed the safety buckle on her wrist, and a flash of thought entered the consciousness space in her mind.

Zhou Huilan hadn't come in for some days, and Zhou Huilan was obviously shocked by the sight in front of her.

The big tree that was just sprouting buds, has grown lush and luxuriant since I don't know when.

The growth of this tree seems to be related to the irrigation of the ancient well water nearby, but it seems to have nothing to do with it. After all, I haven’t been in for a long time, so naturally I won’t water the big tree again. It was just the leaves of buds, because What stretched out?
Zhou Huilan walked around the big tree a few times, but she didn't see why.

The leaves are lush, but there is not even a single leaf under the tree.

The vegetables planted in the open space next to them did not wither due to long-term neglect. On the contrary, they grew beyond their normal height.

Zhou Huilan sprained a part of it in the past, and the dish was still quite tender, which is really strange.

Turning around, Zhou Huilan was only surprised, but Yaoyao was still at home, and she didn't have time to take care of this vegetable field today, so she fetched a bucket of water and soaked her hands in it, feeling the exhaustion all over her body dissipate little by little , the whole person relaxed a lot.

After dark, the street stalls gradually became busier.

The food stall was soon full of people, but all of this seemed to have nothing to do with Li Man.

She just sat mechanically by the faucet, brushing the dishes in the sink that would never go away, like a machine.

Suddenly, Li Man seemed to hear a familiar voice, she stopped the movement of her hands, and raised her head in a daze, the surrounding was full of noise and bustle, and no one paid attention to her.

So Li Man continued to wash the dishes.

But after a while, a pair of rough hands reached under the faucet and grabbed her hand.

"Zhaodi, you can't ignore your brother!"

Li Man was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and saw his own mother, with a haggard look on her face, it could be seen that she had suffered a lot.

Li Man pushed away her mother's hand and put down the dishcloth and bowl in her hand. There was no stool here, so she could only give her own stool to her mother, "Mom, why are you here?"

Li Man's younger brother beat someone in the village, and when he was admitted to the hospital, he called the police, who took her brother away.

The family who was beaten agreed to a settlement, but asked the old Li's family to pay 1000 yuan in compensation, saying that if they couldn't pay the money, Li Man's younger brother would be sent to jail.

Catching up with his mother's expectant eyes, Li Man had no choice but to do so.

Not to mention 1000 yuan, she couldn't even get a dollar out.

But my mother didn't believe it at all, "Don't lie to me, you are just such a younger brother, can you bear to ignore him? That is the lifeblood of our old Li family! What about your salary? What about the money you earned from working for so many years?" ?”

The mother complained and beat Li Man with her hand while she was talking. Following her beating, the thin Li Man backed up step by step, and finally tripped over the stone steps with no way out. He covered his stomach.

"What are you doing? Over there?" the proprietress shouted.

Li Man's mother immediately stopped, and greeted the proprietress with a smile on her face, but she didn't explain, "You are the proprietress here, right? I'm her mother. Something happened at home and I need money urgently. Can I trouble you to pay in advance? The monthly salary comes out."

"Salary?" The proprietress looked at Li Man with disdain, "She doesn't get paid for working here."

"No salary?" Li Man's mother yelled suddenly, "You dare to hire people without salary, and bully my daughter!"

But the proprietress is round and tall, and she is not afraid of the thin Li Man's mother at all, "Her wages are taken away by her man, you old woman, don't mess around here, it will affect her." I'm in business, be careful hitting you!"

Li Man's mother was too frightened by such an arrogant proprietress to go forward, turned around and saw her daughter was silent, and became even more angry.

"I'm being bullied and you just look at me like this? Are you still my daughter? What about your brother?" Li Man's mother said to push her daughter, but Li Man pushed her like a puppet. Just move it, and there is no more words.

This appearance made Li Man's mother even more angry.

"I'm going to find your mother-in-law. I don't believe that they'll let her die if I give my daughter to him!" Although she said this, she was still waiting for Li Man to stop her.

But Li Man sat back on the small bench and continued to wash the dishes.

"You dead girl!" In the eyes of Li Man's mother, her daughter looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and she just didn't want to give money.

Annoyed, she kicked over the clean bowl that Li Man had washed next to her, and started making a fuss.

But Li Man was in a pile of debris, picking up the whole thing in vain, and still ignored her.

But the proprietress who heard the movement came over.

"This bowl is fifty cents, and I won't blackmail you, old lady, you can settle the money before leaving."

"What money! I have no money!" Li Man's mother said while trying to grab the bowls on the ground and smash them.

Fortunately, Li Man's sharp eyesight and hands quickly blocked her, so that things didn't get worse.

But the proprietress still found a few people to twist the old lady, and stuffed a rag in her mouth by the way.

Li Man quickly stood up and explained, "Cousin, she is really my mother."

Liu Zhenkui was called over from the wine table, and when he heard that Li Man had caused trouble here, his footsteps quickened from afar, and he rushed to Li Man's head without hesitation.

"You stinky bitch, if you don't make money for me, you're still causing trouble. You really think I have so much money that I have nothing to spend!"

The blow was not light, and Li Man lay on the ground directly.
