Li Xiaohua dug wild vegetables outside all afternoon and was very thirsty when she came back. When she went to the kitchen, she wanted to take a sip first, but when she brought it to her mouth, she heard Liu Jie urging her.
She felt a little aggrieved, but she didn't dare to resist. She responded and hurriedly sent the water over.
Mrs. Liu Li was very dissatisfied and opened her mouth to curse: "You damn girl with no eyesight, haven't you seen that my old lady hasn't drank water since she came in?"
Li Xiaohua curled her lips and felt even more aggrieved. She held back her tears and walked out: "I'll go right away!"
After the grandfather and grandson were properly served, Li Xiaohua dared to ask: "Cousin, have you seen my mother?"
"Oh, she said she would go back beforehand and asked you to go back by yourself."
Liu Jie then remembered what Mrs. Liu had told him. Although Li Xiaohua didn't know what happened to her mother and she had to leave early, she still responded and prepared to go home. Fortunately, the two villages were not very far apart.
"Wait a minute, your aunt is not at home. Please help Xiaojie and I prepare the meal before we go back! Such a big girl has never cooked for my old woman, so go quickly!"
Mrs. Liu Li waved her hand, sat on the couch and warmed her eldest grandson from the cold, but treated her granddaughter as a maid.
Li Xiaohua really wished she was deaf. She regretted why she followed her mother to her grandma's house today. If she had been at home, she would have let that dead girl Zhao Huanyu serve her, but when she came to her grandma's house, she would have to serve others!
And mother is also serious, why should she be left alone!
She was resentful and angry, but she didn't dare to refuse. She agreed aggrievedly and went to the kitchen to start cooking.
She thought that she would be full after working all day and cooking the meal before going home. However, just as she was about to reach out and get herself a steamed bun, Mrs. Liu Li hit her on the back with a chopstick.
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat! Is this something you can eat? Go back quickly, now you can eat at home!"
Li Xiaohua looked at Ms. Liu Li in disbelief, unable to believe that this was her own grandmother.
She knew that her mother would bring good things back to her parents' house every now and then. All the white rice and noodles that she could not bear to eat were sent to Liu Jie's family. Unexpectedly, her grandmother was reluctant to let her have a meal.
Feeling hateful and angry in my heart, I turned around and walked out, almost running the whole way to the usual water village.
In the end, he caught up with Mr. Liu who should have been home long ago.
"Mom, haven't you gone home a long time ago? Why are you here now?"
Li Xiaohua was very puzzled. The two villages were not far apart. She had already finished cooking a meal. Her mother could still get home no matter how slow she was.
Ms. Liu didn't expect to meet her daughter here. She reached out and subconsciously straightened her loose and messy hair, and then said: "Isn't your grandma unwilling to give me money? I went to borrow some from your cousin.
"
It turned out that this was the reason why my mother left early.
Li Xiaohua knew it in her heart. Thinking of her grandmother's face when her mother mentioned money, and the anger she suffered at her grandmother's house, she immediately burst into tears: "Mom, please don't give grandma's money anymore, okay? Grandma
It’s not good for you at all. Wuwuwu..."
She couldn't understand why the family had money and kept giving it to her grandmother's family. Wouldn't it be wrong to save it for her dowry? She had to send it to her parents' family and spend it all.
How could Ms. Liu not know how her mother treated her? The old lady favored boys over girls. She had been bullied at home before she got married. She thought she would be able to get rid of her after she got married, but who would have thought that things would change?
Like this?
If you want to blame her, just blame her bad luck. Who made her incompetent and unable to give birth to a son?
She had only one daughter, Li Xiaohua, with her dead husband for more than ten years. Later, she married Zhao Dafu, and they could not have a child. She knew it was her fault, so she could only place her hopes on her nephew, hoping that in the future
The nephew can take care of her for many years and support her in her old age.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Your grandma also wants to keep the money for your cousin to study. I didn't even cry. What do you have to cry about? Go back quickly!"
Ms. Liu gave Li Xiaohua a hand and walked back faster. The sun was setting now, and it would be dark if she kept going.
Li Xiaohua also had a very stubborn temper. She cried hard: "I dug wild vegetables all day long. When I got home, I was not allowed to take a sip of water, so they asked me to cook for them. When it was cooked, they asked me to go home. I'm hungry."
When I want to eat a steamed bun, my grandma will hit me with her chopsticks... My cousin won't help me, but he still laughs at me. He won't be so kind to support you in your old age!"
Only then did Ms. Liu know why her daughter was crying like this. She had always loved her daughter the most, and she felt bad knowing that her daughter was being bullied.
But her parents' family has been helping her for so many years, and she doesn't want to give up just like that. Otherwise, wouldn't the money and food she brought home for more than ten years be in vain?
"That's my mother's family, and I'm related by blood. I don't allow you to talk about your grandmother and cousin like that. Go home!"
Mrs. Liu insisted and walked forward. Li Xiaohua felt even more aggrieved, but still followed her. She was really hungry and wanted to eat.
Thinking that Zhao Huanyu should have cooked the meal by this time, her mood improved slightly.
After Zhao Huanyu packed up herself and Xiao Tiedou, she started cooking. There were wild vegetables at home that the original owner had dug up in the mountains before. Zhao Huanyu didn't want to give Liu and her daughter an advantage, so she cooked them all in one pot.
Then I took out a pack of noodles from the space, cooked two large bowls of noodles, and added a large spoonful of soy sauce beef. It was so delicious.
Little Tiedou could not wait to bury his head in the bowl. This was simply the most delicious bowl of noodles he had ever eaten in his life!
The noodles are chewy and smooth, and the beef is fragrant. Although it is a bit spicy, it is delicious. I don’t know what my sister put in it.
He didn't have time to ask, so he ate a big bowl in one go, drank all the soup, and burped with satisfaction.
"Phew, it's delicious! Sister, I'm so happy!"
Zhao Huanyu looked at his satisfied face, even slightly intoxicated, and felt distressed and funny. It was just a bowl of beef noodles, and the child was so happy.
"Don't worry, we will eat like this every day from now on."
Now that Xiao Tiedou was clean, Zhao Huanyu directly rubbed his hair with his hands, messing up his hair.
Not only was Xiao Tiedou not angry, but he also smiled silly. He really liked how his sister treated him, especially after he was washed, she rubbed his head several times. It seems that she likes to be clean.
.
He must take a bath often in the future, so that his sister will like him!
When Liu's mother and daughter came back, Zhao Huanyu had just washed their bowls and was sitting in the yard watching Little Tiedou play with ants.
Mother Liu and her daughter didn't say anything and went straight into the kitchen. When they found that there was nothing there, they became furious.
"You are going to die, why don't you cook?"
Li Xiaohua, who thought she would be able to eat when she came back, suddenly collapsed and rushed out to question Zhao Huanyu.
