A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 219 The horror of the old society

Mother Li's words were like being pricked with needles.

Yu Li's face turned red when she was stabbed.

Mother Li's eyes fell on the hand tugging on her sleeve.

At this moment, Yu Li knew what it meant to have eyes like a knife.

She carefully let go of her hand and took a step back.

Mother Li, who had her arms freed, turned around and left, not wanting to stay for even a second longer.

Yu Li could only watch Mrs. Li walk away until she could no longer see anyone, then she sighed and returned to the house.

She was no longer in the mood to eat, and now she just wanted to be quiet.

Seeing that the courtyard was empty, Aunt Wang, who had been hiding behind the door and watching, stepped out of the threshold and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going at this hour? We will have dinner soon." Uncle Wang asked from behind.

"You guys eat first, I'm going to ask something and I'll be back in a minute."

"What's the matter? If you have to be in such a hurry, you can't ask after eating."

When Uncle Wang chased him out, he didn't even see Aunt Wang's shadow.

When Mother Li returned home, she didn't even enter the main room and went directly to the kitchen.

I picked out a potato and was about to cut it into shreds when Aunt Wang's short and fat body came in from the door.

Go straight to the topic as soon as you come in.

"What's the matter? Just now, tell me quickly. After listening, I can go back and prepare dinner."

"Why didn't I realize that you, Wang Guifen, were such a good person before?" Mother Li glanced at her sideways and said.

"What's wrong? Those news in the past could not have made me happy. Don't act like you are so innocent. Tell me quickly. You want to kill me." Aunt Wang urged.

"Oh, it's no big deal. Young people have dark hearts and want nothing to do." He said it was no big deal, but the comments behind him didn't sound like it was nothing.

Mother Li said this, which aroused Aunt Wang's curiosity and asked her to stop hiding it.

Mother Li pretended that she couldn't resist her, and briefly talked about what happened yesterday and today.

"It's true that a family doesn't come into the same house. This one is more calculating than the other." After hearing this, Aunt Wang clicked her tongue.

"Her name is..." Mother Li stopped chopping vegetables and thought about the new words she had learned recently. It took a while before she came up with it.

"She is so heart-wrenching that she doesn't even think about how many people out there have money but can't even find a way out."

"Isn't that what you are talking about? When Wang Sheng became a full-time employee, it was a matter of money. If it weren't for Li Xiang's help, he would still be a temporary worker until now." Aunt Wang agreed.

"That's the child's own responsibility. Don't think about how much help he helped. Why are you talking about this every day? Wang Sheng also helped a lot when he was in the steel rolling mill. He deserves it." Li When my mother heard that she used Wang Sheng's incident as an example again, she said angrily.

"Come on, I still need to pretend in front of you. Our family is rich, so I have to praise this kid Li Xiang. How many pounds and taels does Wang Sheng in our family have? As a mother, I don't know. If you just let him work in silence, he will never be able to change his ways in his lifetime." Aunt Wang argued unconvinced.

"I have never seen you as a mother, insisting on saying that your child is not good." Mother Li smiled and shook her head, as if there was nothing she could do.

"You're still talking about me, and so are you. If everyone here hadn't known about your child's potential, you would have been fooled by you." Aunt Wang took the shredded potatoes and washed them in the basin.

Mother Li didn't want to dwell on this topic, so she started a new one.

"We're eating here tonight. We just happened to talk about Wang Sheng's visit. Last time you talked about it without any beginning or end. I still remember it in my heart." "No, everything is ready at home." Aunt Wang refused.

"What's the matter? Don't you like the hot sauce that the child brought back? I scooped some for you last time but you didn't want it. Let's have some here tonight."

With that said, he went to scoop up the sauce.

A few years ago, Aunt Wang would definitely not have left any food.

But things are different now. She can take a little "advantage" with peace of mind.

In addition, she also wanted to talk to Mother Li, so she agreed.

The meal in the evening was simple to begin with, plus Aunt Wang’s help.

After a while, spicy and sour potato shreds, steamed eggs, and a small dish of chili sauce were served on the table.

The staple food is Erhe noodle steamed buns, white flour and corn flour at a ratio of 6:4. The steamed buns are noisy and smell of corn.

Aunt Wang couldn't wait to tear the steamed bun in half, spread chili sauce on one side, put it together again, and took a bite. It was really delicious.

"This is more exciting than that pickle." Aunt Wang praised.

"As long as it's exciting, there's so much oil in this sauce." Mother Li replied with a smile.

"There's meat too!" Aunt Wang took a closer look at the cubes in the sauce. Oh dear, they turned out to be pieces of meat.

The last time she came to Li's house, she saw it. She just dipped it with chopsticks and tasted it. At that time, she only thought it tasted good. She thought it was fried, that's why it was so fragrant.

"There's meat in this, how can it not be delicious? How can you treat me with such a good thing." Aunt Wang scolded.

"Okay, a little chili sauce is worth all your fuss."

Aunt Wang saw Mother Li's nonchalant look and said with emotion: "It's really getting better and better. I'm happy for you."

"Nowadays, life is getting more and more prosperous for everyone, and it's not just my family. Hey, don't you remember when we were children? It was really hard back then. When we were hungry, we made the soil into the shape of steamed buns and gnawed on them. That’s right.”

"Why don't you remember? I had enough suffering in the world during those days in my mother's family. It wasn't until I got married and moved to the city that I lived like a human being." Aunt Wang thought of the past and felt that those years were like a Nightmare-like.

"When I first got married, even if the food bag at home was full, I didn't dare to eat more. I worked hard every day and found something to do when I had nothing to do. I would sweep the floor at home seven or eight times a day, but I was afraid of being scolded for eating too much. Yes, send it back." Mother Li can now talk about the past with a smile.

"We met a good man, so I took pity on my third sister. She gave birth to a baby. She didn't want it, so she rushed back to the countryside. At that time, older girls were not worth much, let alone the second marriage. In the blink of an eye, I was sold to an old cripple by my parents."

Mother Li pictured the appearance of the third sister in her mind. She was like a flower even when she was young, and she couldn't help but sigh:

"The third brother-in-law behind you was pretty good. At least he didn't get beaten three times like the previous one. He had a good time, but he left too early."

"I've been sick for a long time. Otherwise, I was driven back by the person in front of me. It's not like I can't do anything." When Aunt Wang mentioned that family, her teeth itched with hatred.

"I don't know where that family has moved. If we meet again in this life, we must not let them go." Li's mother also shared the same hatred.

"My third sister is pitiful. She was still thinking about that child before she died. If she hadn't hugged another one later, she wouldn't have been able to survive the next few years."

"So you are thinking about the third sister and want to give her adopted daughter to Wang Sheng as his wife?"

"Last year, her adoptive father died and she was alone in the countryside. I felt that if this child was bullied in the future, she wouldn't even have a supporter from her mother's family."

Speaking of this, Aunt Wang straightened her face and wanted to hear Mother Li's opinion.
