It started to rain lightly on the second day of the first lunar month, and by the third day of the first lunar month, the rain became heavier and heavier, almost like summer rain.
Ever since the eldest mother-in-law returned to Nanqiaotou, her mood and body were in a state of flux. She would laugh out loud, burst into tears, fall unconscious, and be full of energy.
Tang Qing's father reminded Tang Qing to be prepared to take care of the funeral arrangements for her eldest mother-in-law. She must be here these days.
What should be done after this?
Send your eldest mother-in-law away like your own grandma?
Tang Qing can do it, and Tang Qing's parents can do it, but they absolutely cannot do that.
If she does that, Li Li's reputation will be even worse, and she may even never be able to establish a good reputation.
Tang Qing, the nine-pound master of the People's Barber Shop, will definitely have a better reputation.
One was completely ruined, and the other became even more famous.
"No! I absolutely can't do that!"
Tang Qing had his own thoughts in mind.
When she first took her mother-in-law to her home to celebrate the New Year, in addition to wanting to fulfill her wish, she was actually angry with Li Li.
I thought to myself, you Li Li and Li Zapo vowed to seek justice for Aunt Li at first, but when you met your biological father, you put everything behind you. Only your biological father is the most important, not even Mr. Li.
Mention it again.
After I helped you with your funeral, I left without saying a word, and you kept your mouth shut so that I wouldn't know your whereabouts. What do you mean?
Unfortunately, Aunt Li passed away, and Mr. Li had no choice but to send you to your eldest mother-in-law. What's wrong with that?
You blame Mr. Li for letting you live under someone else's roof, but what about your own biological father? He didn't dare to fight and just walked away. How can he still become a love hero?
Yes, it is understandable that you did not know your life experience before.
But now that you understand your own life experience, understand Mr. Li's benevolence and righteousness, and understand that it is not easy for your eldest mother-in-law to raise you, why do you treat your eldest mother-in-law like this?
Do you think you can just take a little money and go to the orphanage to end the past between you and your eldest mother-in-law?
"The grace of childbearing is greater than that of man, the grace of nurturing is greater than that of heaven, and filial piety comes first among all good deeds."
Don’t you understand this truth?
The dead are gone, the living should be loved.
Your own biological parents have passed away, but your eldest mother-in-law is still alive. How can you not even want to visit?
Don’t you really understand that the kindness of upbringing is greater than God’s? You are not your eldest mother-in-law’s biological flesh and blood. She has no obligation to raise you, but she has worked hard to bring you up. Don’t you have the slightest feeling of gratitude in your heart?
Yes, your eldest mother-in-law raised you for money, and she took money from Mr. Li. But do you only have the concept of money in your eyes? Do you use money to measure your likes and dislikes?
You don’t care about the eldest mother-in-law, I do!
Tang Qing took his eldest mother-in-law to his home to celebrate the New Year, to fulfill her dying wish to have a reunion dinner with her family.
But when faced with the fact that his eldest mother-in-law was about to leave, Tang Qing had to think a little more.
She must not base her reputation on ruining Li Li's reputation, not to mention that she doesn't want to gain fame at all.
Li Li, Li Li, where are you now? Why haven't you come to visit grandma?
On the way back from the vegetable market, Tang Qing was in the same state of mind as the heavy rain, and couldn't calm down...
Because of heavy rain, Tang Qing did not go for a run today. She went to the vegetable market early to buy vegetables.
Originally, Tang Qing didn't need to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables in the first few days of the first lunar month. First, his parents had already prepared them a year ago. Secondly, the vegetables these days were surprisingly expensive.
But in order to give his eldest mother-in-law a bite of fresh vegetables, Tang Qing ignored the pouring rain and went to the vegetable market to buy some fresh fruits and seafood.
Who is it? Standing at the entrance of the alley in such heavy rain? Is it her?
Tang Qing returned to the Tang family courtyard with fruits and vegetables in hand, and saw a man standing at the entrance of the alley, with a pair of long legs exposed under a wide red umbrella.
Ouch, my mother-in-law, you finally showed up?!
Tang Qing was surprised and happy, and rushed forward, rushing towards the man. His feet splashed with white water, and he didn't care about getting his trousers wet.
The man heard the sound of water and turned around. Sure enough, it was Li Li.
Tang Qing and Li Li looked at each other, each other's eyes filled with joy.
"Are you back?"
"Are you back?"
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha……"
Tang Qing and Li Li asked the same sentence at the same time. After asking, they laughed at the same time.
"Go home quickly!"
Tang Qing greeted Li Li into the small courtyard.
"We're not going in anymore."
Li Li put away her smile.
The smile on Tang Qing's face stopped suddenly, turned into a look of surprise, and asked:
"What? Aren't you here to see the eldest mother-in-law?"
"Yes and no."
"What do you mean? What do we mean by standing outside talking in such heavy rain?"
"Qingtuan, thank you for taking my adoptive mother to your home to celebrate the New Year, and thank you Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang for taking care of my adoptive mother. Logically, I should go in and pay New Year greetings to them and thank them in person. But I'm really sorry, I can't do that today.
Go in, take this."
Li Li handed Tang Qing a black plastic bag.
"What?"
Tang Qing glanced at the black plastic bag.
Because it's black, I can't see clearly what's inside?
Tang Qing did not reach out to pick it up.
Seeing that Tang Qing didn't answer, Li Li took a step closer, reached out and stuffed the black plastic bag into Tang Qing's hand, and said:
"This is my little wish. I know you may not accept it. Could you please give it to Uncle Tang, Tang's mother, and it will be considered as my adoptive mother's living expenses?"
"What?!"
Tang Qing didn't want to accept it at first, but when Li Li said it was her adoptive mother's living expenses, she took the black plastic bag from her hand.
Li Li thought Tang Qing had accepted the black plastic bag, and said to Tang Qing with a relaxed face;
"Although these are not much, they should last for a while. If they are not enough, you can always ask me for them. If you are too embarrassed to ask for them yourself, you can ask Shiba Urui to send a message."
Tang Qing took the black plastic bag and weighed it with her hands to determine what was inside. But she still suppressed the anger in her heart and asked Li Li calmly:
"What did you say? Can you say it again?"
"Didn't you hear clearly?"
“It’s raining so hard that I can’t hear clearly!”
"Here are 100,000 yuan in banknotes, which are considered as my adoptive mother's living expenses. Don't worry, I will send you some more after a while. If you spend all the 100,000 yuan in banknotes in advance, you can ask me for them at any time.
If you feel embarrassed to speak, just ask Shiba to send me a message, and I will definitely send you the money right away.”…
"How much do you think it is here?"
Tang Qing raised the black plastic bag and asked Li Li, his eyes were wide open and his face was extremely dark.
"100,000!"
Li Li answered loudly, thinking that Tang Qing was a little unable to react to the sudden huge sum of money, or was too excited.
"100,000? How many days of living expenses do you think my mother-in-law would need?"
Tang Qing continued to ask Li Li.
"A month? Half a month? It doesn't matter how many days, as long as you, Uncle Tang, and Aunt Tang take good care of my adoptive mother."
"Okay, how many bills do you still have on you?"
"I don't have any cash on me. How about I give you a few bank cards? I'll give them to you when I can save money."
Li Li took out five or six bank cards from a famous brand handbag and handed them to Tang Qing.
"Give it to me when you can save it? How much money are there in total on these bank cards? What if it's not enough? You won't stop giving it to me, right?"
"Qingtuan, don't worry, the total amount of money on these bank cards should not be less than seven figures."
"Seven digits? One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million?"
Tang Qing held the card in his hand, his eyes shining with rage.
"I don't know the exact amount, but it will definitely not be less than seven figures. Don't worry, my adoptive mother's living expenses cannot be enough."
"I can rest assured that you, Li Zapo, have a big head. I can't give you enough Li Zapo!"
Tang Qing raised the black plastic bag, along with the bank cards in his hands and the fruits and vegetables he had just bought from the vegetable market, and smashed it at Li Li's head.
A red umbrella and a black umbrella that were originally together suddenly scattered with a violent blow, like two side-by-side lotus flowers that were destroyed by the ruthless storm and became fallen flowers buried in the mud.
