After the eldest brother and Tian Jing left, Li Min saw that her mother was asleep, and her heart felt like grass. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to go to her cousin's house.
When Zhang Fangcao saw Li Min coming, she asked in surprise, "Minmin, why are you here? I'll sort it out for the big girl and I'll be there soon."
"Me." Li Min wanted to open her mouth and ask directly, but Tian Jing's stupid words over and over again echoed in her ears, so she decided to ask her aunt herself.
"My mother is asleep. I came over to ask my cousin some private questions. You know my mother doesn't have the energy to talk. There are many questions that I still don't understand."
Li Min pretended to be shy and said something specious.
Zhang Fangcao smiled and said, "I'm here too, you can ask me."
"No, no, I'm asking about some ancient customs that only my cousin and the older generation know."
Li Min waved her hands. She was afraid that she would not be able to withstand Sister Fangcao's persuasion, and her purpose would be exposed in just a few words, "Sister Fangcao, I'm worried that my mother won't be able to find anyone when she wakes up. Can you go to my house and have a look?"
?”
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Zhang Fangcao didn't ask anything, picked up the girl and walked out.
Sister Fangcao, who is so neat and kind, is definitely not the bad woman that Tian Jing said. Sister Fangcao, when I ask you clearly, if Tian Jing wronged you, I will make her look good.
Hu Hongju heard Li Min's voice a long time ago. She pretended to be very busy and did not want to leave the room. No one's family was rich, and there should be a limit to her help. Such endless support for her deceased cousin's family, Hu Hongju's heart
Very frustrating.
But her man always said that it was his cousin who saved him, otherwise his cousin would not have died.
And Zheng Guo's fiancée married his youngest son again. She felt that she owed her cousin's family too much. Whenever something happened there, she would send something to her. She really didn't want to pay attention to the Li family at the end of the village.
"Auntie, auntie."
Li Min shouted twice, and Hu Hongju responded lazily, "Minmin, why are you here? Didn't Fangcao say she was going to your house?"
Li Min looked outside the door and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, tell me the truth, why do you trust Sister Fangcao to come to my house every day?"
"This." Hu Hongju didn't expect Li Min to ask this question suddenly. She was stunned for a moment and said with some embarrassment, "We are real relatives. It's right to move around. It's right."
This statement sounds false no matter how it sounds.
Li Min continued to ask, "Auntie, here, my eldest brother is also at home. It seems that we should avoid suspicion, right?"
"Yes, yes." When Hu Hongju heard that someone had the same opinions as hers, she felt as if she had found a close friend and expressed all the complaints in her stomach.
"That's what I think. But your cousin said it doesn't matter. If Fangcao hadn't said..., ahem, of course, you told Fangcao about this, otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to her going there every day.
, whose little daughter-in-law always goes to a single man’s house, it’s hard to say or not.”
"Just because of this matter, many people made irresponsible remarks in front of me, and I was almost worried to death. Now it's better. You have a sister-in-law. No matter what your elder brother is like, at least there are less gossips from outsiders, and your sister-in-law has a sister-in-law."
He is a capable person, and from now on, Fangcao will not need help anymore."
"Your mother's body is so good. Well, Fangcao is also working hard. Every time she comes back, she is too tired to help with the housework. Your sister-in-law has long had an objection. If the two daughters-in-law don't share the housework equally, call me.
As a mother-in-law, how do you handle household chores?"
Li Min frowned when she heard this. There was a lot of information in Auntie's words.
"Auntie, what did Sister Fangcao and I say? Also, every time Sister Fangcao goes to my house, she only talks to me or my mother. Do you mean that she worked hard to take care of my mother?"
Hu Hongju was stunned, "No, Minmin, what do you mean? My Fangcao goes to your house every day to chop wood and light the fire. Sometimes I even rub your mother's legs and massage her feet. You just pretend you didn't see it? You just wipe it clean."
Is it there?”
"No, no."
Li Min waved her hand to deny, "Sister Fangcao goes to my house every day just to chat with me, and I don't tell her anything. Isn't it strange to hear what you said? Normally, no family can let their daughter-in-law always
Went to my ex-fiancé’s house, right?”
"I didn't understand before. This morning, I saw that my eldest brother and sister-in-law were as good as honey mixed with oil, and I realized, how can a couple not be sticky?"
When the aunt complained that she could not control her two daughters-in-law, Li Min understood that Sister Fangcao was going to her house to play, but she said she was there to help.
How do outsiders view her mother? How do they view her? Doesn’t this make it clear that she is lazy?
This not only robbed her of her hard work, but also slapped a big label of laziness on her head.
The cousin complained for her "hard-working" little daughter-in-law. Does this mean she looks down on her and thinks it's too much for her to leave all the housework to Sister Fangcao?
Hu Hongju tasted it carefully and found something wrong, "Your eldest brother and your eldest sister-in-law?"
"Yes." Li Min nodded, "My eldest brother also helped my sister-in-law to pour two basins of water in. It hurt like eyeballs. I was even jealous. My eldest brother has never been so kind to me. Fortunately, I am busy every day.
Busy inside and outside."
Hu Hongju thought for a while and confirmed again, "Have you really never told Fangcao about your eldest brother's physical illness?"
"No." Li Min shook his head, "Except for my lame leg, is there nothing wrong with my body?"
Speaking of lameness, Li Min thought of what Tian Jing said again. At this moment, she also felt that it sounded awkward. Her eldest brother had a lame leg, and Zhang Fangcao regretted the marriage. This was ruthless and unrighteous. How could she blame her eldest brother?
What about the lame leg? Her eldest brother doesn’t want to think about it either.
I am really stupid!
How many times had her mother told her to have less contact with Zhang Fangcao, but she just didn't listen. She was led by someone's thumb for so long, and she was so stupid.
She felt regretful here, and Hu Hongju felt even more regretful, "So, your eldest brother is very normal?"
"certainly!"
Li Min nodded vigorously, and then seeing his aunt's ugly face, he quickly explained for his eldest brother.
"My eldest brother just treats her as nothing. Yesterday, he kicked her out and stopped her from going to my house. Today, if I didn't have something to ask you, I wouldn't ask her to come over."
"Oh, I have to leave. My elder brother and sister-in-law went to dig wild vegetables. If I see her when I get home, she will definitely scold me again. Auntie, I'm leaving."
"Wait, I'll go with you."
Hu Hongju would not go to Cunwei easily. She was worried that she would not be able to be cruel after seeing the miserable situation at Cunwei.
Therefore, even if Fangcao said that taking care of others was tiring and she asked her eldest daughter-in-law to be patient, who would know that all this was just a lie.
Li Min was very embarrassed, "Auntie, I, I don't want to be the trigger of conflicts in your family."
"Don't worry, I won't say a word between us today to outsiders."
Hu Hongju patted her chest and assured her, would she dare to say it? Her youngest son was almost cuckolded, would it sound good if she said it?
What's more, some people made irresponsible remarks in the past, and she even said that her younger daughter-in-law was kind-hearted and went to repay a debt of gratitude for her family.
