Soon the day came to return home. Without her husband to accompany her, Chen Lishu packed herself up, took the ten yuan given by Li Xiulan and returned to Chen's house.
As soon as I walked in, I noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"Sister, you are back." The third child, Chen Lifei, ran over. As soon as she came closer, her lips curled up and her eyes filled with tears.
"What's going on? Who bullied you? Tell the eldest sister, she will take care of her for you." Chen Lishu said, leading her towards the house. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Wu Chunmei holding the child on the kang and wiping it.
Tears, Chen Mantun on the side also wilted his head and drooped his brain.
Several little chickens, who seemed to be frightened, were huddled at the base of the wall. The second sister, Chen Liyuan, was lying on the table with her back to the door, her shoulders twitching and she was obviously crying.
"Yesterday, grandma and grandma came. They found that they had stolen all the food at home. The second sister was so angry that she went to argue with them, and they beat her back." Chen Lifei said, with tears in her eyes.
drip down.
When she heard that her second sister was being beaten, Chen Lishu couldn't care less about anything else. She quickly took two steps forward and said, "Where did they beat you? Is it serious? Lift your head and show me to my eldest sister."
When Chen Liyuan heard her voice, she could no longer hold back, and her suppressed crying suddenly became louder. She raised her head and threw herself on her: "It's all useless to me. I can't even protect the food at home."
Originally, she wanted to get the food back like her elder sister, but who knew that she was beaten and scolded by her mother and kicked out.
As she raised her head, Chen Lishu suddenly saw five clear finger prints on her red and swollen cheeks.
My heart suddenly ached.
At that time, she had no ability and devoted herself to pursuing her love. When she finally fell into despair, although her sisters were not doing well, they heard about her and donated money and efforts one after another. Only then did she finally realize that family love is the most important thing.
The most important thing.
"Did we beat you?"
Chen Liyuan buried herself in her arms and nodded gently.
"Stop crying. Crying won't solve the problem." Chen Lishu said, raising her sleeves to wipe her tears.
"What did they take from home?"
Chen Lifei immediately said: "They took away the dozens of kilograms of grain that dad collected and the rations left at home. Nai Nai also asked our dad where the things came from, so our dad told her. Nai Nai also said to her
My dad asked for money. My dad didn’t give it. So she said she was going to the commune to report our dad. Mom couldn’t do anything, so, just..."
Chen Lishu must have handed over all the money honestly without even thinking about it.
"If your mother refuses to give me, go to the commune and sue your father. With so much food, if you are caught and investigated, you will definitely be implicated. Mom is really too scared." Wu Chunmei said and started to cry again.
Chen Lishu took a deep breath and tried to exhale the turbid air in her chest.
"It's okay, Mom, leave this to me. Don't think too much while you're still in confinement. It won't be good if it leaves the root of the disease in the future."
In her previous life, Wu Chunmei lost her sight when she was in her forties because she often cried during confinement.
"What can you do? How about I just let this matter go? If it really breaks out, it won't be good for anyone." It's not like Chen Mandun didn't think about asking for it, but if there was a fight, the neighbors would definitely know what happened.
When the time comes, neither family will be able to get any favors, but the village cadres will be alarmed.
Everyone is unhappy.
Chen Lishu sneered, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. If they don't want to make things easier for their family, then no one should think about it.
After reviving her life, she no longer wanted to live a cowardly life and beg to be submissive to anyone.
"Second sister, don't cry. You go with the eldest sister. Learn better this time, and you must not be bullied again in the future."
"Yes." Chen Liyuan responded heavily, and immediately raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears on her face. Her round and big eyes looked at Chen Lishu, and they lit up again.
The two sisters walked all the way out of the courtyard. At this moment, several people in Chen Mancang's family were sitting around the stove discussing how to spend the money in their hands.
"Li Min is out, Mom, should you give me more?" Zhang Chunhua said and winked at his son Chen Baozhu.
Chen Baozhu is the only grandson of the Chen family and the lifeblood of Mrs. Chen.
"Nai, you have so much money. If you give your eldest sister a little more, she will have a hard waist in her in-laws' house. You, as a nanny, will also have a good-looking face, won't you?"
Sure enough, when he opened his mouth, there was no way Old Mrs. Chen would not agree, and she immediately took out twenty yuan.
"Mom, I also want to buy a watch for your grandson-in-law. She is pregnant with your great-grandson now."
"Okay, okay." When she mentioned her great-grandson, Mrs. Chen immediately burst into laughter.
The family was talking and laughing when the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside.
Chen Lishu stood at the door with a cold face, her cold figure almost blending into the wind and snow in the sky behind her.
"Why are you here?" Zhang Chunhua had seen how powerful she was. His heart tightened and he stood up subconsciously.
"When the little one is here, the big one, get out of here quickly. I'm going to get annoyed when I see your family being the bastard." Old Mrs. Chen spat heavily on the ground in disgust.
"Lishu, why don't you stay at your husband's house and why are you here?" Chen Baozhu said and stood up: "Oh, are you going home today? On such a big day, go back to your home. It's cold with the door open, so hurry up and leave.
."
He said it as if he was dismissing a beggar, and impatiently stretched out his hand to push the person out.
"Brother, if you run into me today, I will turn around and go to the public security bureau to report you and say you beat me up."
In terms of strength, she is naturally no match for a grown man like Chen Baozhu. She also doesn't want to use force to solve the problem. Otherwise, she will definitely suffer.
"You still report the crime? Look what you can do. Why don't you go to heaven?"
Although Chen Baozhu was talking, he was still a little wary when he looked at her dark eyes.
Chen Lishu walked closer to the room and her eyes fell on the money on the table. She sneered in her heart, feeling that they were already dividing the spoils with their own money.
"I have nothing else to do here today. I just want you to send back the food and money you took from my house intact. This way everyone can have a peaceful New Year."
"You little brat, who are you trying to scare? Is this how your father taught you to talk? Don't call any elder when you enter the house. Get out quickly, otherwise don't blame me, the uncle, for educating you for your father!"
Chen Mancang was sitting at the table, and whenever he opened his mouth, he used his status as an elder to pressure others.
"Uncle, I never scare people. Now that I can talk to you calmly, I am very well-educated."
As she spoke, Chen Lishu scanned the people in the room and finally landed on Mrs. Chen.
Old Mrs. Chen met her gaze and was frightened for a moment. Then she frowned and cursed: "You bastard, why are you looking at me? You don't know where your father got the money and food? You're just speculating! I'll go to the commune to sue you.
