A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 338 Torture

Li family.

Mother Li and aunt Li were sighing at the medicine bill.

"Why is this so much less than last month? I think I'm taking less medicine this month." Mother Li brought the medicine list closer and looked at it again and again.

"We don't understand either. We just heard about the price reduction." The eldest aunt said cheerfully.

The cost of medicine this month is nearly 40% less than last month. How can she not be happy?

"Well, I heard from Xia'er earlier that the cost of medicine will be reduced. I'm still wondering when it will happen. It seems that it will start from this month." Mother Li remembered the news that her daughter had told her when she came home.

"GCD is better. I never thought the price could go down." The eldest aunt put away the order and sighed.

Since the 1950s, every few years, higher-ups have implemented medical policies to benefit the people.

Especially when it comes to the cost of medicine, my aunt remembers that just after liberation, buying medicine was much more expensive than it is now.

"I went to the yard next door and saw that the door was locked, so I knew that you must be at my aunt's house."

At this time, Sister Tang came to the door carrying an insulated lunch box.

He Yuzhu has a good relationship with Li Xiang, and his wife is a sister to Uncle Li's second daughter-in-law.

"What a damn old man. He never tells the truth all the time. Needless to say, he must have gone to play chess with those old men." The eldest aunt's expression changed and she started scolding.

Therefore, I really take care of Uncle Li seriously.

Since Uncle Li came to the city, and since he lives nearby, anyone who has a good relationship with the Li family will be taken care of.

The eldest aunt nodded, and the memory in her mind matched Mother Li's answer.

Their family belongs to both sides.

"Eldest brother is not at home. Didn't he say he went home to rest." Mother Li looked at eldest aunt.

Sister Tang didn't come here just to spread gossip and make the old couple quarrel.

Then she opened the thermal lunch box in her hand and showed it to the two of them to divert their attention.

Sister Tang said: "The pillars have just been stewed and brought back. They said they would be delivered to Uncle Li."

Among them, the He family has done a good job.

The insulated lunch box contained a full lunch box of chicken soup. As soon as the lid was opened, the tangy aroma came out from inside.

The two chatted for a while about the cost of the medicine.

He quickly advised: "Auntie, please calm down. My uncle doesn't have many acquaintances in the city. If he doesn't find some fun to kill time, he will die in a hurry."

"It's almost twice as expensive." Mother Li recalled helpfully.

He Yuzhu always tries to find a way to buy some good things every now and then, and then sends them to Uncle Li's house.

"Oh, you and your wife are so polite. I have tried to persuade you so many times to leave it to your children, but you are still thinking about us old bones." The eldest aunt said gratefully.

"What's this worth? Yoshiko came to me and told me more than once, saying that she and her husband are not with you two, and they can't take good care of them. Then I, the elder sister, can't do my best for her." Tang The eldest sister said this, firstly, to gain impression points for her younger sister, and secondly, to thank the eldest aunt for being the matchmaker for her and Zhuzi at that time. "Sister-in-law, I think you have found a daughter-in-law here. Not only is her daughter-in-law filial to herself, she is also filial to her sister as well." Mother Li joked from the side.

The eldest aunt said yes repeatedly, feeling warm in her heart.

The worry that the second daughter-in-law is still not happy after being married for so many years has also subsided a bit.

This chicken soup should be drunk while it's hot. After taking the chicken soup, the eldest aunt didn't stay at Li's house longer and left quickly.

Mother Li and Sister Tang were left to continue chatting.

They were the only two people left in the room, and Mother Li had no worries about speaking.

She sighed and said to Sister Tang, "You are too considerate. She didn't blame Fangzi."

Sister Tang smiled bitterly and shook her head, explaining: "Auntie, the window paper is not broken here, but we can't pretend to be confused. Fangzi and Erhai have been married for six years. In the end, it's our family's fault. "

"I don't like hearing what you say. Both children have been checked in the hospital and both said they are fine. That means the fate has not come yet. Besides, they are not very young. Maybe they will be born next year." Li The mother patted her hand and comforted her.

"Auntie, it's hard to grow old without children. Tell me, why do you think the eldest mother is hanging around me all the time? Isn't it just to support her in the future? I'm thinking to myself, if Erhai reaches thirty years old, what will happen to the couple? We don't have a child yet, so I advised Fangzi to adopt an infant." Sister Tang said this sincerely, but also with a hint of temptation.

After listening to this, Mother Li frowned as if thinking.

After a while, she said to Sister Tang: "This matter still depends on the wishes of the couple. We outsiders should not forcefully persuade them. They are different from the aunt and his wife. The relatives who are closer to the couple are gone. , I have no choice but to look for them in the courtyard, Erhai and Fangzi have many relatives to help them, it’s incomparable."

"That's true. It's still a few years away. Let's see." Sensing Mother Li's attitude, Sister Tang could only reply.
Mother Li also changed the subject and asked how He Yuyu was doing. This girl had been married for more than a year.

No wonder the old man said that girls are outgoing, they all live in the same city. In the past year or so, I haven't seen the rain come back several times.

Her brother often went to visit him, and every time he went there, he was never empty-handed.

Sister Tang will sigh when she talks about this sister-in-law.

He was no less worried about her than his own sister.

"Auntie, I'm not going to say bad things about her husband's family. The two of them were in a relationship for a long time before they got married. Why didn't you notice at the time that the parents-in-law were so at odds with each other? If you could have noticed, say I don’t agree to let Yu Yu marry her."

"What's wrong? It's not good for rain over there. I didn't hear you leaking wind earlier." Mother Li sat upright and looked at Sister Tang with wide eyes.

"How dare I leak it? There are some things that I don't even dare to say to Zhuzi. I'm afraid that he will get angry and go over there to make trouble. If it really gets louder, the rain will not be able to catch up with my uncle." When Sister Tang talked about this, she felt aggrieved.

If they broke up in a hurry, why should she hide it?

So she had no choice but to send He Yuzhu to her sister-in-law's house to run around more quickly, hoping that the other party would restrain herself a bit for the sake of watching Qin's coming and going.

"I don't understand. Yu Yu doesn't have a calm temperament, so how can she be bullied into silence? How can she stand it every time her brother goes over to see her?" Mother Li couldn't figure it out.

"I don't know what trick the other person used to scare her. When she came back, she started crying when she saw me. When she came in front of her brother, she pretended that nothing happened, and she didn't allow me to mention it to him."

Sister Tang originally thought she had been beaten severely.

He also used his reputation as a clothes maker to trick his sister-in-law into secretly observing her while she was trying on clothes.

But my sister-in-law was naked and didn't look like she was injured.
