Chen Yulian knew what Hu Li was thinking. Not only did she and Lin Yue live and eat at her parents' house, but now they were delayed in the busy work of farming. The mother and son were very poor and had little income. They might have to divide the old man's land and house. Faced with such a situation Damn it, not many people can give them a good look.
Just like when she went to beg Chen Jinshui just now, wasn't the other party unwilling to delay studying in the county because of her? Therefore, it would be very difficult to live in the countryside without a man and a boy.
"Sister-in-law, no."
Hu Li said: "No? Will he listen if you say no?"
Chen Yulian pushed Lin Yue's back: "Tell auntie that she will be obedient and a good child in the future and will never run around again."
In front of the old lady and Chen Yulian, Lin Yue was naturally able to suppress his emotions, because he knew that no matter how angry they were, they essentially loved their children. Hu Li was different. Although she was his aunt, the two There is no blood relationship, on the contrary there is a conflict of interest. If it weren't for Chen Jinzhu sandwiched in the middle, Hu Li's character would have exploded long ago.
"Why should I promise her to be a good boy?"
This question stunned several people.
"You kid, why are you talking to your aunt?"
"I don't remember that she ever loved me. On the contrary, I received a lot of looks from her. It's just because she is my uncle's daughter-in-law that she is called aunt. I call her aunt when we meet, and occasionally help her with some housework. She basically respects her elders. I did the courtesy and promised her to be a good child, but she is not qualified."
Lin Yue thought he was reasonable and fair, but Hu Li didn't think so. She pointed at his nose and said: "Chen Yulian, is this the good son you raised? He is so uneducated, he is indeed Lin Yutang's son. "
"Lin Yue, you..."
Lin Yue interrupted Chen Yulian: "Mom, I don't have to be as knowledgeable as a village woman like this. She can't define whether I am educated or not."
Hu Li was furious. The boy seemed to be reasoning calmly, but his voice was extremely harsh: "Chen Jinzhu, look at your nephew, do you still look like a junior?"
"It's terrible to be uneducated. Respect and loyalty are two different things. If uncle helps us, I will naturally repay him. On his centenary day, I will send him a ride wearing mourning. But this doesn't mean that you can do whatever you say. It doesn't mean that When I face you, I must never fight back, scold or retaliate, and that doesn’t mean you can manipulate my life at will.”
Chen Jinzhu wanted to speak for his wife, but after much deliberation, he couldn't find any reason to refute his nephew. And these words... could a 14-year-old child say them?
"You..." Hu Li has always been strong in the Chen family. This is not only because Chen Jinzhu is cowardly, but also because her natal family is in the next village and is richer than the Chen family, with more brothers and more helpers. Now this family has the lowest status. Lin Yue, who was even more burdened with the identity of the son of a heartless man, dared to talk to her with such an attitude. How could he swallow such a tone!
She said like a shrew: "Old Chen's family doesn't have a nephew like you."
"It doesn't matter what you said, but..." Lin Yue looked at Chen Jinzhu and then at Hu Li: "If you and your family of four sever ties with me, I have no objection. I don't want to be the director of the Poverty Alleviation Office."
Few people know what the Director of the Poverty Alleviation Office is, but even a fool can tell that it is not a good word.
"Lin Yue, stop talking!" Chen Yulian pulled him back and regretted letting him come out to apologize to Hu Li. She really didn't expect that her son, who was so bored that she was worried two days ago, would not even be able to see the Chen family today. The most powerful woman dared to confront him head-on.
"Brother, sister-in-law, don't take it to heart. I will educate him well when I get home."
She had a quarrel with Chen Jinzhu the day before yesterday, but it was because Chen Jinzhu asked Lin Yue to learn business from Chen Jianghe, which she did not agree to. Things were different today. From her perspective, she believed that it was her mother and son who had brought them down, and it was normal for her to speak softly.
"Mom? Dad?"
At this moment, two shouts came from the front.
It is the two brothers Chen Hong and Chen Ping who are back.
The nature of the fight between Bu Tou'er can be said to be that a flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. When Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu met, there was no need to fight anymore. After the things were transported back to Chenjiacun, Chen Daguang asked them to go back to their respective homes and find their own way. Damn it.
"Chen Ping, Chen Hong, you two came just in time."
Hu Li felt a lot more confident when she saw her two sons arriving. This is how it is in rural areas. Why do some families give birth to one daughter after another, but still continue to have more children and insist on having a boy? Not only The concept of continuing the family line, and because you have no sons, others will bully you. If you have many brothers, sisters and nephews, you will have strength in numbers and you will be tough in your words.
"Remember, don't learn this useless thing in the future. If you don't learn it well at a young age, you will go hunting in the mountains, which will make the whole family crazy."
She was an elder, so of course she was embarrassed to be the same as a 14-year-old child. She made a big fuss when Chen Yulian was subdued. If word spread, people would stab her in the spine and scold her, but she let it go and swallowed. Without letting go of this bad breath, after thinking about it over and over, I could only say this sentence in a strange way.
"Hunting is useless? Is your son promising? What did your two sons do today?" Others were angry with him. With Lin Yue's temper, how could he give in? Of course, he had to sneer and go back.
"Tell him, what are you doing with Ji Fei?"
In Hu Li's opinion, a 14-year-old boy who went hunting in the mountains was lucky enough not to be eaten by wild beasts or fall off a cliff to death. Was he able to catch prey? How can it be! And their son went to make money with Chen Jianghe. This time he came back wearing pull-back shoes and a Shanghai watch, and he also brought back a TV set for Chen Jinshui, which together cost a thousand yuan less. Think about how rich Chen Jianghe is, how bad is it for his son to get along with him?
Chen Jinzhu's family is different from others. The situation is reversed. The second son is honest, while the eldest son is too narrow-minded.
"We...Brother Ji Feo took us to snatch the cloth leader." It was the second son who spoke.
"What? Grabbing the cloth head?" Not only Hu Li looked embarrassed, but Chen Jinzhu's face was also ugly. It was a tractor and the hope of the whole village... It was still necessary to grab some cloth heads.
Lin Yue said: "If it weren't for the sock king Luo Yuzhu and Chen Jianghe being old acquaintances, let alone the cloth boss, they might all have to work in the police station."
Chen Ping nodded subconsciously, because this was not scaremongering, they actually had a fight, and the scratches on Chen Hong's face were still there.
Hu Li became angry: "That's better than you."
When Chen Ping was about to tell her what he saw when he was fighting for the top job, Chen Hong pulled him from behind, telling him not to talk too much.
Although he didn't know why, he did it.
When Chen Yulian saw that things were getting more and more tense, she quickly dragged her son towards the yard: "You kid, can't you just say a few words?"
Chen Jinzhu looked back at the entrance of the alley and found several women looking this way. Worried about being gossiped about, he reached out to pull Hu Li.
"Don't touch me, I'll leave."
Seeing this posture, she also hated Chen Jinzhu.
Now Chen Ping knew why Chen Hong didn't let him tell him about seeing Lin Yue. It's like shooting a bird in the first place. Those who take care of me are trained like dogs, let alone them.
"Let's go, hurry into the house."
Chen Jinzhu glanced at the entrance of the alley again and urged his two sons to leave quickly to avoid attracting more talkative women.
However, when he walked into the yard and took a closer look, he found that Hu Li did not go back to her room, but was looking blankly at the things under the eaves.
A carrying pole, five pheasants and two foxes next to it.
Is this...the prey brought back by Lin Yue?
He looked at his sister and found that she also looked lost, as if she had not yet recovered from the shock.
A 14-year-old boy went for a walk in the mountains and brought back five pheasants and two foxes. No one would believe this if he told it.
Not to mention the value of five pheasants, skinning those two foxes would cost at least seventeen or eighty yuan, which is less than half a month's salary of Chen Jinshui, given the sharp increase in fur prices this year.
Lin Yue ignored those people, zipped up his bag, took out three pairs of nylon socks and stuffed them into Chen Yulian's arms.
"Mom, these are the socks I bought when I passed by Ximen Old Street. Can you try them on to see if they fit?"
After speaking, he took out a large front door and threw the bag at Chen Jinzhu's feet.
"Uncle, there are mountain products that I picked in the mountains. You sort them into categories. Those that should be dried, those that should be washed, and they should be processed as soon as possible."
After saying this, he took the big front door and entered the east room.
"Grandma, I brought you a cigarette. The one with the big front door number is better than the one you rolled with shredded tobacco..."
Several people listened to the conversation coming from the room with different expressions.
Hu Li felt that she had been humiliated and shouted at Chen Jinzhu who put his hand into the bag: "He asked you to classify and you classified it? Are you mean? You are his uncle. If you dare to touch, don't enter my room tonight." "
