Zhou Yang was busy here, but the Li family was gloomy and the atmosphere was solemn and tense.
When the young and old of the Li family came back from work in the fields, they saw that Zhang Guiying and Zhong Na had not cooked, and their expressions were a little solemn.
Li Fengnian frowned and said, "We haven't cooked yet. What did you two do all afternoon?"
Zhang Guiying looked nervously at her precious daughter behind Li Fengnian, opened her mouth, and for a moment she didn't know what to say!
Li Youwei was also a little panicked by her mother's eyes, and immediately said: "Mom, what do you mean by looking at me?"
"Yes, mother, you can tell me what you have to say. What are you watching my little sister do?"
"Mom, you are talking!"
Zhang Guiying thought that the long-term pain was better than the short-term pain. In addition, she could prepare her family mentally to avoid being caught off guard by Zhou Yang. After hesitating again and again, she finally spoke.
"Bao'er's father is back!"
Li Youwei's face lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly said: "Really, mother, how did you know he was back?"
Zhang Guiying pointed to the malted milk and other items under the window sill and said, "He sent those things over!"
As soon as he finished speaking, my uncle Li Jianguo said with a surprised look on his face: "Hey, the sun is coming out from the west. My brother-in-law still knows how to honor you two elders?"
"Oh, it's malted milk, as well as sugar and meat. My uncle must be too willing to give it up!" It was my sister-in-law Lin Aizhi who spoke.
"These things probably cost more than ten yuan. Xiaowei, you didn't give him all the money from the bottom of the box, did you?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were fixed on Li Youwei.
Li Youwei felt a little embarrassed when her family members looked at her, so she immediately lowered her head and said, "I didn't even take out everything, so I gave him 50 yuan!"
"50 yuan?"
Several brothers and sisters in the Li family couldn't help but gasp, this is 50 yuan!
Think about it, they work very hard for a year, and each person will only get fifty or sixty yuan at the end of the year. This is a good year.
If there is a drought or flood, it doesn't matter whether you can feed your stomach, let alone the money.
And this man, my sister-in-law, gets 50 yuan every time he goes out, which is really annoying!
"Xiaowei, that's the money you paid for your wedding, how can you just take it out?" Zhang Guiying said with a bit of hatred for iron.
Li Youwei said hurriedly: "Mom, isn't he going out? It's good to bring more money with you to avoid encountering difficulties outside!"
"You are just fascinated by him and always think about him!"
Li Youwei smiled and said: "He is my man, if I don't think about him, I will think about others!"
Zhang Guiying frowned and said, "Then have you ever thought about what you would do if he doesn't want you and Bao'er anymore?"
Li Youwei said hurriedly: "Mom...you are overthinking it!"
"Mom also hoped that she was overthinking it, but when he came over in the afternoon, he not only brought so many valuable things, but also told me not to cook at night. He invited us to dinner, and said... He also said... "
Li Fengnian said in a deep voice: "If you have anything else to say, just say it!"
"He said he had something to announce!" Zhang Guiying said.
"Uh...Mom, I don't understand. He bought things for you and my dad, and invited us to dinner. Isn't that nice? But you don't look very happy. What's going on? "The second eldest child, Li Guoqing, asked in confusion.
The second sister-in-law, Sun Lu, was a genius. She immediately clicked on her man's brain and said, "You are so stupid! They say that being courteous for nothing is either adultery or theft. Our uncle is usually as proud as a wild rooster." , when have you ever honored our parents? This is not out of date or seasonal, giving things to people, and giving food to lovers, it’s so abnormal!”
"And he also specifically mentioned that he had something to announce. If he said it so formally, it must be a very important thing. But for my uncle, the most important thing now is to return to the city, so he must have to say something back. It’s the city’s business!”
Li Youwei said hurriedly: "He said he would not return to the city, and he has already torn up the order to return to the city..."
"It's not like he can't get it replaced if it's torn. Maybe he came to the city just to do this, and he won't come back to tell us until it's done!" Sun Lu said.
"If my uncle returns to the city, what will happen to Xiaowei and Bao'er?" Third sister-in-law Wang Lixia suddenly thought of this problem and asked immediately.
Zhong Na held her belly with one hand and sighed: "This is also what mother is most worried about. The food supply in the city is not easy to solve. If my uncle returns to the city, he will definitely not be able to take Xiaowei and Bao'er away."
"And if you want to go back to the city, you must be unmarried. My uncle has not asked my sister-in-law for these years, so I am afraid that he can get away easily when he returns to the city!"
"No...no way...he said he would not return to the city..."
Li Youwei's voice was trembling. She didn't believe that her man would abandon her so cruelly.
But thinking about the past Zongzong, she didn't have the slightest confidence, so she was a little incoherent when she spoke.
The grumpy third son, Li Jianjun, threw his hoe on the ground and said angrily: "This bitch really cares about eating and not fighting. I'm going to settle the score with him!"
Li Fengnian immediately said: "Stop!"
As the head of the family, Li Fengnian's words were very effective. Everyone became quiet and turned their attention to Li Fengnian.
"Don't make any noise. These are just speculations. We still don't know what Zhou Yang means. What if there is a misunderstanding?"
The fourth child, Li Guoqiang, who has a relatively calm personality, also nodded and said: "Dad is right, don't be anxious now, it's not too late to talk about it after you figure things out!"
"Dad, what should we do if he really insists on returning to the city?"
Li Fengnian thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, let him go. It's not sweet to force yourself!"
"Dad, isn't that too cheap for him?"
"Yes, what about Xiaowei and Bao'er?"
"father..."
Li Fengnian said in a cold tone: "Everything in this world has its fate. Some things can escape the criticism of others, but they cannot escape the condemnation of conscience. If he really dares to abandon his wife and daughter, what will happen in the future?" He regrets it!"
"As for Xiaowei and Bao'er, can we, the five grown men of Lao Li's family, support their mother and daughter?"
The eldest brother Li Jianguo also said: "Dad is right, if he doesn't want my little sister, we, Lao Li, will support her!"
"Yes, we will find a better one for Xiaowei later and make him mad!"
"His father, what should we do now?" Zhang Guiying also asked.
Li Fengnian said immediately: "Let's go, doesn't he want to invite our old Li family to dinner? Let's go and see what kind of Hongmen Banquet he is hosting!"
After saying that, Li Fengnian hung the hoe in his hand on the wall, shook the dirt off his body, and then walked out of the yard!
