Reborn 1990: married his ex-uncle

Chapter 17
Li Ke leaned against the tree, closed his eyes and squinted for a while, and soon it was time for the shoe factory to get off work.

The sales in the afternoon went smoothly, even faster than yesterday, except that from time to time customers asked why Chen Xingyi didn't come.

Today ended relatively early, Li Ke finished collecting the stall and went to the farmer's market to buy raw materials, and the marinade needed to be added a little more.

Considering that tomorrow is Wang Gang's first day of selling and he doesn't know what the situation will be, Li Ke decided to prepare less for everything.

After buying the production materials, Li Ke went to buy a sun hat.

Weighing the heavy purse, I went to a pastry shop to buy a box of butter bread, and a roast chicken shop to buy a roast chicken.

Riding a bicycle and humming a little song, Li Ke went home happily.

It was still dawn when I got home, so I parked the car in my yard first and washed my face.

I went to my mother-in-law's house with butter bread and roast chicken.

When I got to the door, I found that the door of the mother-in-law's house was ajar, and there were bursts of suppressed crying in the room.

Li Ke didn't know what was going on in the house, he just felt that it was wrong to enter, and it was wrong not to enter.

I mustered up the courage to knock on the door twice, and the crying stopped, and the man who opened the door was a father-in-law with an expressionless and even dark face.

Seeing such a father-in-law for the first time, Li Ke took half a step back in fright.

Yu Xiangdong squeezed out a smiling face, trying very hard to release the smile.

Then he took the things in her hand and called her into the house.

When I came to the house, I saw my mother-in-law sitting on the sofa, and a middle-aged woman with a withered complexion was sitting next to her, her face was red, and there were still wet tears on her cheeks.

It's just a hot day, and I'm still wearing long-sleeved trousers.

Li Ke vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Sitting next to them were three little girls, the oldest of whom was only about ten years old, all wearing old clothes.

Seeing her coming in, they all raised their heads, glanced at her timidly, then quickly lowered their heads, rubbing the corners of their clothes restlessly with their fingers.

"Ke Ke is back, is everything going well today?" The mother-in-law asked her to sit down.

"It's pretty good, mom, it's sold out before dark." Li Ke didn't mention the meeting with Wang Gang today.

"This is your second sister, go home and have a look."

"This is Coco, your sister-in-law."

The mother-in-law briefly introduced the two of them.

After greeting each other, Li Ke opened the butter bread that his father-in-law had brought and put on the table, and handed it to the three little girls, signaling them to eat.

The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw the butter bread, and one of them couldn't help swallowing.

But none of the three took it with their hands, and all three pairs of eyes looked at their mother.

"I came here in a hurry, and I didn't bring you anything. It's too expensive. You can save it. They don't like sweets." The second sister refused very awkwardly.

After listening to their mother's words, the light in the eyes of the three little girls went out, but none of them protested.

"Big girl, take it, take your sisters to the kitchen to eat, this is your aunt, thank you aunt for giving you butter bread." The mother-in-law said.

"Listen to grandma, take it and eat." The second sister said.

"Thank you, auntie." Seeing her mother nodding in agreement, the big girl took the butter bread box and led the two younger sisters to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Chen Xiangdong was cooking in a red apron.

"Oh...Ke Ke is not an outsider." The mother-in-law sighed and briefly talked about the situation of the second sister.

The second sister-in-law's family favors sons over daughters, and the names given by the three daughters are Zhaodi, Laidi, and Aidi.

The second sister had a dystocia when she gave birth to her third child, and her body was injured and she could no longer bear children.

The mother-in-law used this as a reason to ask her son to divorce her. The husband drank every day and beat her when he was drunk.

She does all the work in the field, and all the work at home is done by the three daughters.

At noon today, my husband drank it again with a plate of peanuts. After drinking too much, he not only beat her, but also beat his daughter. The second sister couldn't bear it anymore and ran back to her mother's house with her three daughters.

Even the well-informed Li Ke was furious when he heard this.

What age is it, boys are still preferred over girls, does the family have a throne to inherit?
He also gave his daughter a name, such as recruiting a younger brother, coming to my younger brother, loving my younger brother.

No wonder my mother-in-law didn't call her name Da Ya just now, it doesn't sound as good as Da Ya, Er Ya, San Ya.

What did the mother-in-law say to divorce her?stop?Their family was in the Qing Dynasty, hasn't it evolved to modern times?

A man drinks at home every day when he doesn't work, and commits domestic violence when he drinks too much.

Li Ke really wanted to say, would such a man be kept for the Chinese New Year without leaving?
But it's not her turn to say this, Li Ke is not such a disrespectful person, besides, her mother-in-law hasn't spoken yet.

As a younger brother and sister, I can only hold the second sister's hand and say, "You are suffering, second sister, if there is anything I can help, you must say it."

The second sister, Chen Shulan, took a deep breath and took a lot of courage to say, "When you and Xingyi got married, I took 5000 yuan. Her father agreed to this. The money is Da Ya's dowry money." , said to get married first, and wait for her to grow up for a few years before getting married."

"How big is Da Ya?" Li Ke was shocked.

"Da Ya has just turned eleven, and now her father insists that I take the money back, or send Da Ya to that family as a child bride.

He clearly knows that I can't get the money out now, so he just said that on purpose to send Da Ya away.

I didn't agree with this marriage. That man is a fool. He's thirty and older than me.

Da Ya is only eleven, how did she live in the past? "Chen Shulan said while tears streaming down her cheeks.

After hearing this, Li Ke took out all the money on his body, including odds and rounds, and counted a total of 960 seven yuan.

Li Ke took out 67 yuan and pushed the rest over, "Second sister, here is a total of 900 yuan, you take it first, and the remaining 100 yuan, you give me a month, and I will definitely return it." you."

"It's not about money. Without this fool, there will still be that cripple. After selling the big girl, there will be two girls and three girls. Think about what Mom said, Shulan, do you still want to live with him?" The mother-in-law said.

"Mom, I don't dare, I dare not divorce." Chen Shulan burst into tears as she spoke.

Li Ke quickly took out his handkerchief, took the paper, and handed it over.

When the second sister wiped her tears, the sleeve on her arm slipped off, revealing the bruised and purple scars on her arm.

Li Ke instantly understood where the strangeness came from just entering the door.

"What are you afraid of? With me and your father here, you and your sister, brother and brother, we won't ignore you." Li Fang said while wiping Chen Shulan's tears.

"I'm afraid of dragging you down, I'm afraid of embarrassing you." Chen Shulan cried even louder.

"Silly boy." The mother-in-law sighed.

In this era, no one gets divorced, and women mostly depend on men to live. No matter how bad men are, most women just choose to swallow their anger.

In their life dictionary, there is no option of divorce.

In the eyes of everyone, divorce is indeed a shameful thing.

Many women, once married, are outsiders in their husband's family and guests in their natal family.

After the divorce, there is nowhere to go, the husband's family is rushing out, and the mother's family is ashamed. Divorcing a woman is tantamount to forcing her to die.

Li Ke was shocked and admired that her mother-in-law could support her second sister's divorce.

But in this day and age, there are very few job opportunities for women, and they can live no matter what they have.

It is still very difficult to support three children.

"Second sister, I'm selling food at the entrance of the shoe factory. If you don't mind, you can do it with me." Li Ke offered.
