A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 376 Betrayed
The platform where the departing train was parked was filled with people who were about to say goodbye.

Li Xiang's family and Professor Hao and his wife were reluctant to say goodbye.

"There are medicines in this bag. My eldest sister helped with the disassembly and explanation. When the time comes, teacher, just distribute them according to the names on it. The bag contains dry food, which my mother and Qiu Hua made in the past two days. You guys eat this bag of food first on the road, and the baggage where you put your clothes. Twenty yuan is sewn inside each piece, and the other tickets are..."

Li Xiang behaved like a nagging old woman.

"I said all this yesterday. I'm not an Alzheimer's person, so I remember it all." Professor Hao pointed at his head, obviously feeling reluctant, but pretending to be disgusted.

Li Xiang, who was disgusted, calmly shut up.

Yu Zhiyuan, who was standing by, saw that Li Xiang also had such a day. Although he warned himself in his heart to keep a low profile, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

At this time, the two people's eyes met, but they quickly looked away.

Everyone looked slightly uncomfortable.

Although they still don't like each other that much, there is a tacit understanding of trust and responsibility in their eyes.

Seeing her like this, the teacher's wife explained thoughtfully: "My child, don't get me wrong. We don't mean to rush. Li Xiang has informed us in advance that when we want to have children, we should do it at your own pace. Don't do it because Our old ideas change your plans."

The master's wife's words made several other people subconsciously look at Qiu Fanghua's belly.

They would gossip about this woman, point fingers behind her back, and mentally condemn her as being unable to have children.

Qiu Fanghua was indifferent to her lover's decision at first, but subconsciously influenced by tradition, she still preferred to have children as early as possible.

She whispered back to the others: "We have no plans, everything will take its course."

This move also made Qiu Fanghua blush with embarrassment, and she was too shy to look back at everyone.

This is the case at this time. Women with higher education are no more open-minded than ordinary women when it comes to family matters.

Most of the time, men can stay out of it.

Just like Professor Hao and his wife, who are as open-minded as they are, even if Li Xiang had informed her in advance, she would still mention it in front of Qiu Fanghua when she found an opportunity.

And if there is no sign of pregnancy within a period of time after marriage, the public will usually assume that it is a woman's problem.

The teacher's wife looked at Mrs. Li and the others tenderly, and replied: "Don't worry, we will take care of our bodies. His teacher said that he has to educate Li Xiang's child. For this, we have to do it again." Live a few more years.”

In fact, it was Li Xiang who advocated for the newlyweds not to have children for the time being.

On the other side, Mother Li held the teacher's wife's hand and said reluctantly: "It's okay, don't rush, just walk slowly. When you get to the new place, send us a telegram so that we can know where you are." .”

He felt that he and his wife were still young and wanted to spend two years together first.

Qiu Fanghua glanced at her husband who was standing not far away, and decisively sold him without his knowledge.

Although there is no malice in this, it is undeniable that they unconsciously put pressure on the woman.

It's not Qiu Fanghua who doesn't want to have a baby at the moment, so she sold Li Xiang easily and without any pressure.

After Professor Hao and the others were sent away, on the way back, Mother Li looked at her eldest son with something wrong. In the eyes staring forward, various complex emotions were played out in turn.

The eldest sister could see that in the old mother's eyes there was anger at being deceived, disgust at her son's selfish thoughts, and pre-emptive criticism of the upcoming liquidation.

The eldest sister shook her head helplessly and could only pray for her eldest brother in her heart.

She has also been arguing with her old mother recently about the delay in her wedding, and she doesn't want to add fuel to the fire between mother and daughter.

Friends who are dead Taoists are not dead but poor Taoists. Let’s all wish ourselves good luck.

"Brother, do you feel something is wrong? Why is it stabbing in the back?" Li Xiaodi, who has the intuition of small animals, turned around and looked back suspiciously, but did not find anything strange.

As early as the moment he turned around, Mother Li's eyes narrowed.

She doesn't intend to make trouble at home to outsiders.

Li Xiang was still immersed in the mood of farewell, and his concern for the two old people began from the moment they boarded the train.

"Are you feeling itchy on your back? Do you want me to scratch it for you?" Li Xiang answered the question.

Being treated like a child by his elder brother, Little Brother Li wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction.

He has the least human rights in this family, so he is at the bottom of the food chain of Lao Li's family.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he decided that he must have three big bowls of rice at noon today to make up for his depressed mood due to sadness.

Everyone returned to Li Xiang's yard. Qiu Fanghua and Da Mei, the two sisters-in-law, cleverly hid in the kitchen on the pretext of making lunch.

The silly little brother Li and the unaware Li Xiang were attacked by Mother Li's overwhelming anger the moment they stepped into the living room.

Although Li Xiaodi was not the person involved, he had been under the "oppression" of Mother Li for a long time. When faced with the old mother who was so angry, he immediately became as rigid as a wooden stake.

The bag in Li's mother's hand was thrown violently on the table, and a series of accusations poured down on Li Xiang, who had just entered the room.

"You are 26, not 16, and you are so insistent on doing things and only thinking about yourself. You just don't think about my desire to have a grandson. Then can you think about Teacher Qi and Mrs. Qin? If you really miss them, how can you bear it? Lying in front of them, you don't know that all they are thinking about is you. If they have grandchildren, they are still running around at this age." Mother Li sat there, and after finishing a sentence, her palms touched the table once.

Bang~bang~bang. . . . . .

Li Xiang's face wrinkled into a bitter look at the sudden accusation.

"Who's lying? I didn't tell you. It's not that I won't have a baby. I'll have another baby in two years. What's wrong with me being 26? Brother Zhu Zhu and Xu Damao didn't have children until they were in their thirties. I'll only be 28 in two years. Besides, we have our own plans, so it's not just a matter of life." Li wanted to argue with excuses.

"Plan, plan, plan your grandma's legs, and still braid it for me here. It's hard to compare the two eldest brothers here. Why didn't you mention that your first cousin became a father at the age of nineteen?" Li She was so angry that she started scolding her. Since Grandma Li had been dead for many years, she was not afraid of being scolded by her.

Li Xiang had never been scolded like this by his mother, neither did he retort immediately, nor was he silent.

It took him a long time before he mumbled something out of his mouth: "Why are you still cursing? If someone hears it, they will say that Li Xiang's mother has no quality."
