Mrs. Liu was angered by Aunty Huang to the point that her face turned white. She pointed at Auntie Huang"s trembling hands and took a few deep breaths before she said, "Fine, Madame Huang. I saw that you had ill intentions in coming here to help."She was clearly going to convince Li Qingling, but this woman, the Huang family, had completely messed up her plans.
d.a.m.n it.
She slowly stood up and stared at Mrs. Liu, "Liu Chunhua, who do you think has ill intentions? Ah? If you don"t explain yourself today, I won"t have any fun with you. " "If I don"t come today, I"m afraid you will be greedy for Xiao Ling"s betrothal gift."
"What is there to be greedy for? What was there to be greedy for? Would I covet my own granddaughter"s betrothal gift? " Mrs. Liu"s expression became even more unsightly after Aunt Huang"s poke at her thoughts. She looked at Li Qingling with embarra.s.sment and said, "Xiao Ling, are you looking at me like that too? Ah? I thought that your parents were gone and I am your grandmother, so I had the responsibility to help you manage your marriage. However, I didn"t expect my good intentions to be twisted into such a state by you guys.
Having said so, she angrily strode out of the living room.
When Mrs. Liu left, Li Qingling thanked Auntie Huang with a smile.
If not for Auntie Huang"s disturbance, she would have had to waste her breath on Mrs. Liu if she wanted him to leave.
Aunty Huang laughed and waved her hand, telling Li Qingling not to be courteous, she had long since disliked Mrs. Liu.
Truly too shameless.
She sometimes had to wonder if Li Laigui was her biological son or not. If she was her own son, why would she be so cruel to Li Qingling and the others?
Logically speaking, since Li Laigui was no longer here, she should be more attentive towards him.
But her? Not only did she not treat Li Qingling and the others well, she even stepped on their doorstep from time to time.
"Xiao Ling, tell Auntie, what exactly do you think? Are you really going to carry the betrothal gift to your grandma"s house? "
If Li Qingling carried the betrothal gift to her grandmother"s house, then it would truly be a meat bun beating a dog, and there would be no return.
Li Qingling smiled and patted Aunty Huang"s hand, telling her not to worry, she was not such a stupid person, she would not be at the mercy of her grandmother.
If Mrs. Liu was nice to them, she would have brought the betrothal gift to her house immediately. But Mrs. Liu was so bad to them, how could she give the betrothal gift to her?
It wasn"t like she had no place to spend her money.
Hearing Li Qingling"s words, Auntie Huang laughed and let out a sigh of relief, "If you were an idiot, no one would be smart." She intimately tapped Li Qingling on the forehead, "Someone like your grandmother isn"t greedy for your betrothal gift, and might come and bother you again. You have to focus on dealing with her, don"t let her take advantage of you, understand?"
Liu Chunhua"s words were pleasant to hear, she said that once she took the betrothal gift she would take care of the dowry, if she said these words, who would believe her?
She was like an iron rooster. If he put something in her pocket and wanted her to take it out again, it would be extremely difficult.
Therefore, he had to be careful around her.
"I know, I won"t let him succeed. Auntie, don"t worry!" Seeing Auntie Huang"s concerned expression, Li Qingling"s heart softened a little. Although she had earned quite a bit of money with Auntie Huang in the recent years, allowing her family to live a good life, Auntie Huang was indeed very considerate towards them. She treated them sincerely on this point, and she could feel it.
Auntie Huang patted Li Qingling"s hands again, her face revealing a look of gratification. She sighed, "I still remember you being born a little girl, and in the blink of an eye, you"re going to be married off. This life is really quick, if only your parents knew in the underworld, they would be able to rest at ease."
Unfortunately, they pa.s.sed too early to see Li Qingling getting married.
Presumably, they also felt very regretful in their hearts.
In the past, the villagers were still discussing how Li Qingling and the others, who had no parents or father, would not be able to live on.
He really did agree with the saying that he shouldn"t look down on the young being poor.
This sentence was said by her boss, and she felt that her boss"s words made a lot of sense.
Li Qingling laughed, and did not say a word.
When Auntie Huang thought that there was still work at home waiting for her to do, she did not stay for long. Before she left, she told Li Qingling that if he came to find trouble with her again, she would not be able to handle it and would come to him for help.
Li Qingling nodded his head obediently, saying that she would. She stood up and personally saw Auntie Huang out of the courtyard, then turned around and returned.
… ….
When Mrs. Liu returned home, she saw the still fat Li Bao Zhu, patting the ground as she ate the fried beans. She had finally suppressed the anger in her heart, and with a scowl, she said, "Eat and eat, other than eating, what else do you know how to do?" (TL: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) With a body full of flesh and plagiarism and no brains, it was no wonder that when the people who came to visit saw her, they had nothing to say about her. She was an eighteen year old girl, if she didn"t marry, she would ruin the reputation of the family.
She was afraid that Mrs. Liu would s.n.a.t.c.h away her soybeans, so she stuffed the soybeans in her hand into her mouth, making her mouth bulge out.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Liu was so angry that smoke was about to come out from his head.
Why was the difference between her and Li Qingling"s little hoof so huge? If she could earn as much money as Li Qingling did, she could just stay at home for the rest of her life. But other than eating, she really didn"t know anything else.
What a waste of food.
"Have you washed your clothes? Did you feed the pigs? "
Li Baozhu chewed the soybeans in her mouth with difficulty, but was unable to say anything. She could only nod her head, indicating that she had done all the housework.
When she was done with the housework, she felt hungry. She thought of the soybeans in the kitchen and went to steal some, but before she could finish, her grandma came back and caught her.
The next time she stealthily touched something to eat, she would hide it well and not let her grandmother see it.
She wouldn"t stop even if she didn"t scold him until he calmed down.
"Then hurry up and prepare lunch. Once it"s ready, send it over to your grandfather and your father."
With that, her eldest son"s voice came from behind her, "Mother, has the pearl angered you again?" He put down the hoe, and stared at Li Baochao with his goldfish eyes, "What are you still doing here? Why aren"t you still preparing dinner? "
How could he have such a stupid daughter? Being unable to get married at such an old age was a complete waste of their family"s food.
Li Baozhu was also afraid of her father now. In the past, when her mother was still around, her father treated her pretty well. After her mother was gone, he would beat her everyday and scold her.
She sniffed, acknowledged, and hurried into the kitchen.
"Why are you back now, with all the work done in the field?" When Mrs. Liu saw Li Laifu, her complexion turned slightly better. She looked behind him but did not see Old Li, "Where"s your father?"
Li Laifu was afraid that Mrs. Liu would scold him, so he immediately shrugged and said weakly, "This sun is too big, it makes me dizzy. Dad will let me come back." "The work in this field was so tiring, how was it done by him?" Mom, who made you angry again? Has the pearl angered you? "
He didn"t want his mother to pester him about whether he was working or not, so he changed the subject.
When she talked about this, Mrs. Liu"s stomach burned, and she could not help but start talking to Li Laifu.
At last, he spat out, "That little b.a.s.t.a.r.d really doesn"t know how to appreciate kindness."
His eyes turned, and Li Laifu"s eyes lit up, he immediately pulled Mrs. Liu into the hall, and after placing the hoe inside the hall, he impatiently asked: "Mother, did Li Qingling say how many betrothal gifts did Liu Zhimo give her?"
If he got that betrothal gift, he would have money for a wife.
Thinking about Huang Meiniang, his heart became more or less numb.
He really wanted to marry her home as soon as possible.
Mrs. Liu said angrily, "I didn"t say anything, I think it shouldn"t be too little." "If it wasn"t for that wife of the Huang family, Li Qingling would have agreed to bring the betrothal gift to our home. It"s all her fault for ruining my plan."
If it wasn"t for the fact that she couldn"t beat that woman from the Huang Clan, she would have pounced on them just now.
Thinking about the money Li Qingling had earned in the past three years, Li Laifu"s heart burned with pa.s.sion. He couldn"t help but swallow his saliva, and told Mrs. Liu that he must think of a way to bring Li Qingling"s betrothal gift to their home.
As long as Li Qingling brought the betrothal gift to their home, it would belong to them.
If Li Qingling still wanted to take it back, then that would be a dream.
"Then, what can you do to make Li Qingling"s little hoof voluntarily carry the betrothal gift to our house?" Mrs. Liu looked at Li Laifu with antic.i.p.ation. In her heart, Li Laifu was extremely intelligent, he would definitely be able to think of a way, "If we can get that betrothal gift from Li Qingling, our family will have enough silver to give you a wife."
"As expected of mother, I think so too." Li Laifu smiled as he flattered Mrs. Liu, "Mother, before Liu Zhimo"s marriage has been decided, you have to go and wait at his home everyday. You must get Li Qingling to bring the betrothal gift to our house."
If you have to blame someone, you can only blame Li Qingling for being ruthless!
Previously, when he wanted to become a manager in Li Qingling"s chicken farm, he was rejected by Li Qingling.
Mrs. Liu frowned, and looked at Li Laifu with some suspicion, "This … Can this work? That little hoof has a very tough temper. It"s not easy for him to get her little betrothal gift from her. "
If he p.i.s.sed off that little hoof, he would get nothing.
Thinking about Li Qingling"s temper, Li Laifu also hesitated a bit. He silently thought for a bit, and after thinking about some unknown plan, his eyes lit up.
"Mom, come over here, I"ll tell you something …"
"What?" Mrs. Liu leaned her head over, then Li Laifu whispered something into Mrs. Liu"s ears. After he finished speaking, Mrs. Liu happily slapped his hands, "This is not bad, just like this."
