Li Guangping opened the wooden box, counted out twelve big cards, took them out, and handed them to Tian Jing, "This is one hundred and twenty yuan. If you don't have enough money for the ointment, come back to me for more."
"No need," Tian Jing waved the big unity in his hand, "Today's matter is settled. Tomorrow I will go to the county town with Li Zhengguo. I will definitely pay back the things I owe your family. After paying back the things, the two families can be considered as
It’s completely cleared.”
"You don't owe us anything, and we don't owe you anything. It's best for the two families to keep the water from the well and not the river. Otherwise, if it falls into my hands again, I will ask you to sell the pot to compensate."
Turning around, she pulled Li Min away. She saw that there was still thirty-four dollars in the wooden box. She didn't care whether Li Guangping came with the box on purpose or not.
She can use Li's father's affairs to blackmail once, but she definitely can't use it a second time, so it's better to clear both sides. From now on, she will directly use her own method.
Clearance?
Li Guangping felt relaxed and heavy at the same time. He couldn't forget that he owed his cousin his life. This thought had been pressing in his heart. What made him feel relaxed was because he heard the determination in Tian Jing's words.
Is it finally time to turn against each other? It should have been a long time ago. The less his cousin-in-law and Zheng Guo hate him, the guiltier he feels. It would be better, better, to hate him!
Tian Jing walked out of the crowd and saw Li Zhengguo standing outside the crowd, holding a lantern in his hand.
Back at Li's house, Li's mother had already prepared dinner, including hot pumpkin pie and braised pork.
It's oily and meaty, so Tian Jing has no problem with it. After all, her mother-in-law's body is already an improvement if she can cook hot dishes.
After a meal, Li's mother did a routine of digestion. Since she could walk around on her own in the past two days, she likes to digest food after a meal. She thought of the herbal tea that her son brought to her the night before yesterday. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she always felt that
The effects of medicinal tea.
No, she urged, "Zhengguo, go boil some water and make me that herbal tea. Didn't you say you should drink it every other day?"
Li Zhengguo looked at Tian Jing and saw her nodding before going to the kitchen to boil water.
Tian Jing dragged Li Min and walked with Li's mother at the door, "Mother-in-law, I made insinuations about my father-in-law and asked Accountant Li for 100 yuan and 20 yuan in compensation for the injury to Li Min's face.
Money for scar removal ointment.”
"Finally, I said that after I return my shopping tomorrow and return it to his house, our house and his house will be settled, and we will not be in conflict with each other from now on."
Mother Li stopped, and after a few seconds, she stepped forward again, "Okay, let's clear up the situation. The water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river. I said you will be in charge of the house, so you have the final say."
Mother Li felt distressed when she saw the wounds on her daughter's face, but she also felt that fighting and scratching faces were common in rural areas. Who didn't have a few invisible scratches on their face?
It turns out that the daughter-in-law has done so much to get her daughter's grievances back, and one hundred yuan is too much to hurt her face.
But a husband's life is far from enough. Life cannot be measured by money.
Back then, the eldest and second uncle wanted to make trouble because they wanted compensation. But she felt that no matter how much money she paid, she could not get her husband's life back.
She thought willfully that by not crying or making trouble, she could make her cousin live in guilt.
At first, the cousin couple came over from time to time, but gradually stopped coming.
Later, Minmin often went to borrow things, and things took a turn for the worse.
She also had complaints against her cousin's family, but times had changed. If she didn't make a fuss at the time, how could she speak up afterwards?
This is not a matter of borrowing money and not repaying it. Since the daughter-in-law has given a blow to the family, let's settle the debt.
"Now that you have money, you can buy whatever you need to buy tomorrow. You don't have to avoid others. Once you spend it, others won't worry about it."
Mother Li's words made Tian Jing smile. She had the same idea as her, "Mother-in-law, this is Li Min's money."
"Didn't you say you would pay her to help her handle the matter?"
Mother Li turned her head and looked at Tian Jing, "Even if she uses this money to deal with her own affairs, she will still have to rely on you in the future."
Tian Jing looked at Li Min, "Has your mind changed yet?"
"No change," Li Min shook his head, "I just want to follow my sister-in-law and have a full meal."
After Mother Li drank the herbal tea brought by her son, she walked around twice more and then went back to the house to rest.
Li Min took away a basin of hot water, and Tian Jing and Li Zhengguo were left in the kitchen. Li Zhengguo continued to oil the wheels of the car under the lantern.
"Li Zhengguo."
"Um?"
"Are you angry?"
"What are you angry about?"
"You ridiculed Accountant Li about your father."
"No, you did a very good job, and one hundred yuan is also very appropriate. With this tone, we are done with it, and the guilt still remains in his heart."
One hundred yuan hurt Accountant Li's family's bones, just like the expense of treating his father hurt his own bones. It's not a big deal.
Not only did she have the same tone as her sister, but she also had the same tone as before. My father was loyal and my mother was concerned about face.
But that family actually didn't even pay for the medical expenses, and didn't mention it. It was really uncomfortable to hold back this breath. He was a man who didn't have a chance, but his sweetness gave him a chance.
Li Zhengguo was sure that he had not told Tiantian about his father in the past few days, and his mother and sister would not mention it. The grudges and grudges here could not be explained clearly by outsiders' words.
Tiantian probably doesn't know that she has leaked the information. This little confused person should have been discovered long ago if she hadn't been helping her, right?
Seeing that the water in the pot was heating up, he put down what he was doing, stood up and fetched water, and said to Tian Jing who was staring at the lantern, "Go back to the room to wash up and go to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow."
"Well." Tian Jing stood up, "This lantern is very easy to use, shall we buy one too? By the way, we also need to buy kerosene, remember to bring a bottle."
"I know, I'll prepare all the things I need to bring in a moment."
Tian Jing lay on the kang after washing and was still thinking carefully about what to buy tomorrow.
After thinking about it, I suddenly felt something was wrong. Didn't she plan to be a guest and a passer-by? Why did she manage the Li family as her own home?
Is it Mother Li's weakness?
Or was it Li Min's awkwardness after discovering Zhang Fangcao's true identity, and the trust he quickly placed on him?
Or was it Li Zhengguo’s silent support?
It seems that her path has gone a bit crooked? Even if it is to return the favor of the Li family for the original owner, there is no need to regard herself as a member of the Li family, right?
Her heart could still remain alert at all times in the Tian family, but it fell into decline in the Li family?
Looking back further, I found that the biggest reason why we have reached this situation step by step is that all three members of the Li family trust her and let her mess around.
She thought about how to cook all day long, and felt sleepy after eating. The life was so comfortable, and it made her physically and mentally lazy. Her body was too lazy to move, and her mind was actively thinking about the future of the Li family.
Forget it, let's watch it while walking.
In the past few years, no one can say what will happen. Let’s live our lives well now. Even if we are passers-by, we must live well every day.
After comforting herself, Tian Jing was called to sleep by the warm quilt, and she didn't notice anything she had leaked today.
