Ouyang Meihua stabilized her mother-in-law, "Why are you angry with her? She is a brainless person. Just ignore her and just smoke her. Come, I will help you."
Ouyang Meihua took the cane from her mother-in-law's hand and whipped Li Min violently.
Ouyang Meihua is very skillful in smoking. Except for her face, it hurts everywhere, and there are no scars on her body.
Being whipped by her mother, and also whipped by her sister-in-law, Li Min doesn't want to do that.
"Ouyang Meihua, are you crazy? If there are no villagers to beat you, you just beat me, right?"
Ouyang Meihua threw away the cane and grabbed Li Min's collar, ignoring the water flowing from her hands into her sleeves.
"Li Min, three years ago, I gave you face and didn't care about you. Now that Damai is eighteen years old, you still dare to mention three years ago?"
"Haha, do you believe that I can destroy your vocal cords and make you speechless forever?"
Only then did Li Min know why her sister-in-law kicked her into the river and why her mother whipped her.
But she refused, "Didn't she leave already? Why couldn't she tell her?"
Ouyang Meihua's eyes narrowed and her hands became stronger, "In private, have you told others?"
Li Min shook his head hastily, "No, no, why should I mention this? If my little brother hadn't told me, I wouldn't have mentioned it."
"Really not?"
"Really not."
Ouyang Meihua relaxed her strength and said, "There is no best, otherwise, I have many ways to make you mute."
After saying that, he threw the person to the ground in disgust, "Lexia, let's go and try out the new car. Some people are clearly unworthy and still have wishful thinking."
Lying on the ground, Li Min looked at her brother's new car, driven by Ouyang Meihua, as boldly as a big truck.
I just couldn't understand why this rude woman could open up, why did she get the word "unworthy"?
Mother Li picked up the cane and continued to smoke, "Go back and take a hot bath and change clothes. If you catch a cold, I won't wait on you. I will take Xiaofu and An'an with me at most."
"Mother~"
Li Min got up and said, "Mom, my sister-in-law said I'm not worthy of driving. Am I really not worthy?"
"Yes, you don't deserve it. You are as disgusting as Zhang Fangcao. You don't know yourself and act like everyone should be nice to you."
"If I weren't your mother, I wouldn't even want to look at you."
Like Zhang Fangcao?
It seems that my brother also said this.
"Mom, I don't even remember what Zhang Fangcao looks like."
Mother Li told her youngest son what her daughter had said.
"I want her to visit Zhang Fangcao. I also want to save her. If we don't recognize her, others will see her as one with us."
Li Zhengguo looked at his wife, "Tiantian, what do you think?"
Tian Jing agreed, "First ask about the current situation of the four children. Let's go see her together. That time, she had a death wish."
"good."
…
Two days later, Li Zhengguo sent Barley and Wheat to the train station and brought back photos of the four children.
Judging from the photos, the four babies are well fed and have genuine smiles on their faces.
When Li Min heard that he wanted to take her to see Zhang Fangcao, she was a little hesitant.
Mother Li drew the cane again and said, "If you don't want to look, maybe we can go in and see you later."
Li Min quit, "Mom? Why don't you hope that I will be well?"
"After you finish reading, if you can still open your mouth and ask me this question, I will answer you."
"Just go."
…
After seeing Zhang Fangcao, Li Min rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Tian Jing couldn't believe it, but it had only been more than four years, how could Zhang Fangcao be so old?
He has white hair, wrinkles on his face, vicissitudes of life on his face, and melancholy all over.
Zhang Fangcao also didn't expect that Tian Jing would come to see her.
"Tian Jing, I heard that life is very good outside, right?"
"Yes, did you get a reduced sentence?"
"Yes, it was commuted twice, and now it's fifteen years in prison."
"You keep working hard. Weekends will be deducted from your sentence and you will be released early. Your life will be better when you get out."
"By the way, here are the photos of the four children. Look at them, they all look like you."
Zhang Fangcao lay on the glass and looked at the four photos carefully. The tears in her eyes kept falling and she kept raising her hands to wipe them away.
"Can you give me this?"
"Okay. We'll hand it over to the prison guards later."
Zhang Fangcao bowed and thanked, "Thank you, thank you Tian Jing. I know you don't want to send me in. What you want to catch is Li Weiguo behind me."
"But I don't know how to repent and make mistakes again and again. Unfortunately, I don't know how to seize opportunities."
Tian Jing shook his head, "You're welcome. I'm here today to ask for your help."
"You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you do it."
Tian Jing pointed to her sister-in-law on the side, "Li Min has changed. She has become like you before. Can we bring her to see you and let you talk to her by the way?"
Zhang Fangcao then looked at Li Min, who looked impetuous, and agreed, "Okay."
Tian Jing and Li Zhengguo went out, and Zhang Fangcao and Li Min faced each other, chatting through the glass microphones.
The couple handed the photos to the prison guard and waited outside.
After waiting for more than 20 minutes, it was time to visit the prison, and Li Min came out with heavy steps.
After getting in the car, she asked: "Can we come again?"
Tian Jing looked back at her, "Yes, when do you want to come?"
"Next month, Zhang Fangcao said that she can visit once a month. I want to bring her some food made by myself."
Tian Jing shook his head, "That's not allowed. Food is forbidden. You can give money and books, but they have to be inspected by the prison guards."
Li Min was discouraged. Thinking of Zhang Fangcao's thin and old appearance, she felt particularly uncomfortable.
When she got home, she found her mother and knelt down in front of her.
"Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that. You were hoping for the best from me."
"Zhang Fangcao's family has never visited her. Since she entered, the only two times her sister-in-law visited her were."
"She said that I was so blessed that I didn't know how blessed I was. She said that I was soft-hearted. She said that I was clearly relying on my sister-in-law's power and was disrespectful to her."
"She said a lot, so much that it made me feel like I was worthless, not even as good as her."
"Mom, don't give up on disciplining me. Brother Suozhu is not cruel enough, and he can't control me either."
"When I get confused, I don't know what's going on."
"I would rather have a strict mother than be as miserable as Zhang Fangcao."
Mother Li sighed, "How long can you change?"
Li Min thought for a while and said, "I, I will visit Zhang Fangcao regularly so that she can get a little warmth and I can be warned."
Mother Li nodded, "Then, it depends on your performance. Don't let me feel cold. If I feel cold, your little brother will not care about you."
"I know, I know."
…
The villagers noticed that Li Min had changed. He no longer came out to chat and took care of his children and did housework seriously.
She would go out once every two months, either Li Zhengguo would take her out, or Li Liguo would take her out.
This is not a big move by the Li family.
The Li family's big move is to stop growing vegetables and focus on growing watermelons.
Regardless of whether it is cold or hot, watermelons are grown in the greenhouse.
The watermelons are so densely planted that they do not climb vines on the ground, but hang in mid-air and are carried in nets.
I heard that watermelons sell for 16 cents per catty in summer.
I heard that watermelons can be sold for 25 cents a pound in winter.
I heard that early-ripening watermelons in spring sell for 20 cents per pound.
The Li family grows melons three times a year, plus watermelons and apples from the hills, and their annual income is at least 30,000 yuan.
The villagers were so jealous that they bled, but the seedlings they raised just couldn't do it.
They went to the village chief, but he ignored them.
They can only watch the Li family getting rich and driving their cars back and forth to Kyoto.
