The sun above her head made her whole body feel hot and uncomfortable. At this moment, she was dissatisfied and blamed Yang Lina for loading her with too much flour and rice. She also blamed Yang Lina for not drinking a sip of water. She felt tired after walking only a few steps and her mouth was dry.
I wish I could have a big spoonful of cold water in front of me and drink it in big gulps to quench my thirst.
When she returned home, Chen Er'e's mouth almost burst into flames. She lay down next to her bucket and drank a few mouthfuls of cold water. After resting for a while, she took off the white flour and rice from her back.
Shi Chunhua, who was taking a nap, heard a noise in the kitchen and thought someone from home had barged in to beg for food. He was about to curse when he saw it was his mother-in-law, carrying half a bag of flour and rice on her back. Shi Chunhua was instantly overjoyed, thinking that the old man from the village next door must have something to do with him.
It’s done.
This Chen Er'e is really capable. She even brought back so much white flour and rice without saying anything after the matter was settled. She can satisfy her craving during this period.
Thinking of a good life ahead, he turned around and ran happily towards the room.
"Liye, get up quickly, our mother is back and she brought a lot of flour and rice."
"Ah, you're back so soon? Has the matter been settled?"
Yang Liye was shaken out of his sleep by Shi Chunhua, with half-squinted eyes and an unhappy look on his face. When he saw the smile on Shi Chunhua's face, he excitedly thought that the matter was done, so he sat up.
"I think it's probably done. Our mother even brought back half a bag of white flour and rice."
If it fails, I will definitely come back empty-handed, and there will be nothing left to bring back.
"It must be that Lao Li's family is too poor, and Li Jingming wants to divorce your sister again. Your sister is afraid that she won't be able to get married after divorce, and our mother is afraid that she will agree immediately, so our mother comes back so soon."
The two discussed quietly in the room. Yang Liye felt that Shi Chunhua's words were reasonable. Although these words did not come out of his mother's mouth, Shi Chunhua's analysis made him jump off the bed excitedly.
"Mom, Mom, you are back."
The two of them ran towards the kitchen, one behind the other.
Before leaving, Chen Er'e patted her chest and promised her son that this would definitely happen.
But who would have thought that Yang Lina would change so quickly.
"Well, I'm back. I didn't know how to come out to pick me up. I'm exhausted."
Chen Er'e was panicking in her heart, fearing that her son would blame her. She rubbed her shoulders with her hands and walked past the two of them.
"Mom, is it done?"
Yang Liye patiently waited for an answer that satisfied him.
"Son, Mom can't forgive you. If they don't get divorced, why don't you take some time to repay Old Man Wang's five hundred yuan?"
In the end, what they planned ended in failure, which was unexpected by the three of them.
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly, Yang Liye couldn't wait to tie Yang Lina back and give it to Old Man Wang.
"It didn't work. What if it didn't work? No, don't let me take it out since the money has already been put into my pocket. At worst, I'll tie her up and send her to Old Man Wang."
It is wrong for an abandoned woman who is about to be abandoned to be picky about finding a man.
"Liye, please don't mess around. You tied up people and sent them to offend the old Li family. Although there are no powerful people in their family, the old Li family still has prestige in the village. If Li Jingming hadn't been lame at the time,
Well, no one wants to marry this girl from around the corner, so how can they pay a bride price of 300 yuan to marry your lazy sister?"
Chen Er'e knew all about her son's virtues. He did things regardless of the consequences and acted as he thought. If he really kidnapped someone, he would go to jail.
"Bah, she's just asking, I, Yang Liye, have never had a sister since I was a child.
Mom, let me tell you, she is just a white-eyed wolf. You should avoid going to their house in the future.
Let’s wait for a while before talking about this matter. Who knows if Mr. Wang dies one day, so we don’t have to pay back the money. We can delay it as long as we can.”
Chen Er'e's words seemed to be a wake-up call. No matter how stupid he was, Yang Liye would not take risks. At most, he would just say angry words.
Anyway, I collected the money myself. If Old Man Wang comes to collect debts, just send him to Yang Lina to ask for the money.
"Yes, why did I forget this? Son, you are so smart."
Now that you have received the money, it is up to you to decide when to pay it back.
Besides, the money has already been spent by then, so there’s no need for more money.
Thinking of this, Chen Er'e felt much less resentful and went to sleep with a feeling of luck.
Although Yang Lina didn't remember Chen Er'e's matter, from now on, no matter whether the original owner would blame herself or not, she had nothing to do with Chen Er'e from now on.
Out of respect for the original owner, she would still call her mom, but from then on they became strangers.
After Yang Lina put away the dishes, she was just about to lie down on the bed and take a rest. A tofu buyer came to her door to pick up the tofu.
Helpless, Yang Lina had to get up again to cut and weigh the tofu.
If there is a three-wheeler carrying tofu to sell in several surrounding villages, the business will definitely double.
Some people only weigh three or four kilograms of tofu for what they eat. It is indeed troublesome to travel so far for three or four kilograms of tofu, but delivering it to your door is different.
Yang Lina thought that if Sun Yuxiu really didn't want to do it, she wouldn't be able to think of a suitable job in the future. She would have to buy a three-wheeler with a large amount of tofu and go to several surrounding villages to sell it.
When the sun was not very bright, there were still several families who had not taken away the tofu. Yang Lina held a fan in her hand and sat under the big tree to enjoy the cool air while waiting for the few remaining tofu sellers.
The wind blew by, and the sycamore leaves and poplar leaves overhead were rustling in the wind. On such a hot day, Li Jingming went to carry wheat in the fields.
Thinking of Li Jingming inexplicably, Yang Lina frowned. She lost her temper for a moment and felt that she had been busy all day.
When she was about to enter the door, she heard laughter not far away. Yang Lina turned around and saw Li Jingxuan and Feng Zhijun walking over, talking and laughing.
Li Jingxuan lowered his head with a shy look on his face. On the contrary, Feng Zhijun raised his head and raised his chest, turning his head from time to time to look at Li Jingxuan who was as tall as his shoulders.
If Feng Zhijun's child hadn't just turned one month old some time ago, those who didn't know would probably have thought that the two of them were lovers who were about to get married.
This picture doesn't matter to Yang Lina, but it might cause trouble to others.
Yang Lina's eyebrows tightened, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Li Jingxuan liked Feng Zhijun.
When the two of them saw Yang Lina standing at the door and looking at them, the distance between them immediately widened.
Li Jingxuan saw Yang Lina's face was calm, without a trace of suspicion or curiosity. Her hand holding the cloth bag tightened, and the next second she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she hadn't been discovered.
Li Jingxuan's face turned from red to white, and she called "sister-in-law" in a low voice.
"Well, why did you come here with Teacher Feng?"
Yang Lina opened the door and stepped aside to let the two of them go forward. Feng Zhijun nodded and walked in with an embarrassed smile on his face. Yang Lina followed closely behind.
"Sister-in-law, my report card is out. The school mailed the report card and volunteer form to the town post office. On the way back to the post office, I met Teacher Feng. He happened to be coming to get tofu, so I followed him."
Li Jingxuan was afraid that someone would catch her and Teacher Feng coming together. She was afraid that her sister-in-law would want to go somewhere else, and she broke into a cold sweat out of guilt.
