A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 218 It’s not my turn

The third uncle has been teaching the children with his so-called fairness theory.

And he has indeed always thought that he was practicing this theory.

This means that when family members point to him, he is like God.

When the children one day become self-sufficient, the third uncle's authority as a father will gradually shrink.

After all, the Yan family believes in putting resources first and extending hands to the small.

At least now, Yan Jiecheng, who is paid, considers himself the number two person in the family.

Regarding his brother's provocation, he did not listen to the third aunt's words and chose to settle the matter, but to be tough.

He pointed at the half-bitten steamed bun in Yan Jiefang's hand and said mockingly: "The money you paid to the Jia family for the stupid thing you did, and the steamed bun you chewed and the pickles you ate didn't include my living expenses. If you If you have the guts, earn it by yourself, don’t take your parents’ little money as your own.”

"That's right if you say so. What's the writing on it that says it's yours? Why didn't I see it? Mom, whatever you use for his living expenses in the future will be marked separately. I'll only use my father's share."

Two brothers, no matter what you say or what I say, no one will obey the other.

The words became more and more unpleasant, and the two little ones were so frightened that they hid aside while holding their bowls, not daring to stay at the table.

"That's enough." The third uncle slapped his hand on the table and became angry rarely.

The two people who were arguing fiercely were also startled and immediately fell silent.

"Boss, you still act like a big brother. Just look at the way you treat your younger brothers and sisters. Don't even think about getting a penny from me. If there is no good news for Zheng Cuiping, just find a way by yourself. I don't owe you anything. It’s yours.”

After saying that, he glanced at Yu Li meaningfully.

Then, the third uncle glared at Yan Jiefang again and said:

"It's your turn. Who am I reminding you every word? Is it short of you to eat or short of you to drink?"

The second child, who was thick-skinned, touched his nose and pretended not to care after being scolded by his father.

He meant what he said, but so what.

The older one is a pet, the younger one is a treasure, and only the second child is a piece of grass.

Only children who can cry can have milk. This is a truth he has understood since he was a child.

The third uncle, each side played fifty big shots, just like scratching an itch.

Everyone in the family still has their own thoughts and just want to scoop the benefits into their own bowls.

The third aunt pushed the bowl on the table angrily and lay down on the bed.

She was asked to say that they were all enemies in the previous life, and now they are collecting debts in this life.

Otherwise, no matter how much I feed, I won’t be able to get enough.

Seeing her mother-in-law angry, Yu Li didn't look blank.

When everyone put down their dishes, she took the initiative to put them away.

After cleaning up and returning to the house, the young couple lay back on the bed, still wondering whether the Li family could complete the work.

Yan Jiecheng had to go to work the next day. After chatting for a while, he fell asleep, leaving Yu Li with her eyes open and still thinking about it.

What she told Mother Li was not entirely a lie.

At the moment, it seems that Yan Jiecheng is still on her side, but it is a fact that he has no job, and it is also a fact that Yan Jiecheng's ability is not enough to support the young couple's family.

In another year or two, the disgust she said may not come true.

Just thinking about it, Yu Li fell asleep in a daze until the sound of pedestrians was heard outside.

Wait for the next day, people in the yard, those who should go to work go to work, and those who should go to school go to school.

When she woke up, Li's mother had already gone to work.

The remaining women picked up handicrafts and gathered in groups to chat.

After being married for so long, Yu Li is not familiar with anyone in this yard.

It's not appropriate for a young wife like her to get close to someone who is older.

She was about the same age, and Sister Tang disliked her for being too thoughtful, so she and Lou Xiao'e didn't play with her much. Yu Li, who kept all her worries in her heart, waited in the room with no one to tell her, just hoping that the sun would set soon.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Li stood guard at the door, looking towards the door from time to time.

The figures that walked in from time to time were not what she wanted to see.

Mother Li couldn't control the fact that someone in the family was looking forward to her return.

As a working woman, she is very busy.

I have to work and study at the same time. After get off work, I have to go to the vegetable market and pass by the grocery store to buy some needles and thread for my home.

It gets dark quickly in winter, and by the time she got home, it was already dark.

Carrying a large bag of things, I entered the compound and only took three steps and two steps to get home. There were still mouths waiting to be fed.

"Auntie, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you all day."

"Oh~"

The grievances in her heart were cried out loudly, which frightened Mother Li and she thought she had seen a ghost.

Seeing the person coming from the dark place, Li's mother patted her chest and said strangely: "Yu Li, don't be so surprised next time, it will make me tremble."

Seeing that she had scared someone, Yu Li blushed.

But she didn't forget about the business and asked about the result immediately after changing hands.

"I asked yesterday. As long as you prepare the money to buy a job, Li Xiang is willing to help you inquire."

Yu Li said in embarrassment: "Auntie, you know, I don't have any money."

"Borrow it from your parents-in-law. It's not like they won't pay it back. Don't tell me that they don't have the money~" Mother Li changed her tactful attitude yesterday and replied directly.

"That's not what I meant. Jie Cheng also mentioned it yesterday, but the second child didn't agree." Yu Li told what happened yesterday, picking up what she could tell.

"Then there's nothing you can do about it. The palms and backs of your hands are all flesh. It depends on your parents-in-law's choice." Mother Li's words made Yu Li's eyes darken.

"But don't worry, Li Xiang, I will do the work." Hearing what Li's mother said, Yu Li's eyes quickly lit up again, thinking that Li's mother was willing to help to the end.

"No matter when, as long as you have collected enough money, if you come here again, I will definitely take your matter to heart, ah~"

What, let her be happy for nothing, after all, she still needs money.

Yu Li's mood was like a roller coaster in a short period of time, going back and forth from high to low.

The disappointment on her face could not be concealed.

But Li's mother didn't want to continue chatting with her. Since the words had been brought to her, it was none of her business.

If you have money, do it; if you don’t have money, do it.

I have to start cooking when I get home.

Just as she started to leave, her arm was grabbed by Yu Li, but she still refused to give up.

Periodically, I asked Mother Li for help.

"Auntie, please see if you can be accommodating and help me. I will definitely not default on your debt. How about I give you two-thirds of my monthly salary?"

Mother Li glanced at Yu Li up and down. The indescribable meaning in her eyes made Yu Li slowly lower her head, not daring to look back at her.

But the hand holding onto Mother Li's sleeve was still stubborn and refused to let go.

"You should mention this condition to your parents-in-law. It's useless and inappropriate to tell me this."

"they do not......"

Before Yu Li could finish her excuse, she was interrupted by Mother Li.

"Then find your parents, your relatives, and your friends."
