Chapter 222 Whose man do you think he is?
They were happily eating sticky rice dumplings here, each holding a sugared version.
Without the slightly sour taste of rhubarb rice glutinous rice dumplings, this is more like a snack for those who are used to traditional flavors.
Shen Lu also felt that the traditional version would be better if eaten often. It was worthy of being the old version passed down for so many years. The reformed version just didn’t have that flavor.
Unlike the lively atmosphere of the village chief's house, the kitchen in Mrs. Yu's house was deserted. She went to her gossip team's base to chat early in the morning.
I wanted to shamelessly stay there for lunch at noon, but her sisters started to chase me away before the meal was ready. It's okay to chat with her and make groundless accusations, but it's a different story when eating at her house!
Mrs. Yu just walked away with her hands behind her back, as if no one cared about her food. She had plenty of food at home!
Her bullied daughter-in-law must have prepared dinner at home. After thinking about it, Mrs. Yu quickened her pace. She was indeed hungry after chatting for a long time.
I opened the door and the yard was quiet. I went to her room and saw that the pot was empty without even a drop of water...
Cursing and swearing, Mrs. Yu picked up a spatula and rushed into the main hall in a threatening manner.
"She's so lazy every day. She doesn't cook at this time. She's going to starve her mother-in-law and her husband to death! You're so cruel... ugh!"
Mrs. Yu, who was preparing to perform a full set of crying, chanting and singing, was startled by Li Xiujuan who suddenly opened the door curtain. The person who usually kept her head down suddenly looked at her coldly with a stern face...
"You really want to scare me to death! You have such a sour face every day, no wonder..."
"No wonder what? No wonder your son is not home?"
Li Xiujuan looked coldly at Mrs. Yu, who was much shorter than her. In recent years, she had been treated as a nobody by this skinny and short old woman.
Since she discovered that incident, she has been reflecting a lot in the past few days.
She always complains about everything and puts all the blame on others, always putting herself in the position of a victim. In fact, there was someone pushing her from behind, but she jumped into the fire pit herself.
Wasn't it because of her unconscious display of weakness that she attracted Li Hongjun's attention!
She had no courage, she didn't dare to resist, and always felt that she was being bullied because she was isolated and helpless, with no one behind her.
But what did she gain by living in silence?
Now there is Shen Lu in front and Jiang Wenjing and Qian Yu behind, they are all setting a good example for her.
They all faced Grandma Yu, they also came to a strange place alone, and they were not like her!
The person she was expecting to help her didn't come, but why couldn't she save herself!
If she had not been so timid and cowardly at that time, would Li Hongjun still have targeted her?
The answer is not necessarily!
At that time, she was under pressure from the former village chief and was expected to leave as soon as possible by the former educated youth. She was so angry that she chose the wrong path...
Now someone has used actions to tell her that all this is not that scary, and it is you who cannot stand up.
She has had enough. If she could get out of the quagmire, how could she be willing to live such a miserable life!
"You... He must be busy if he doesn't come home. No wife wants to tie her man to her belt like you do, and you are still ruining your man!"
After saying this, Mrs. Yu, who had something to hide, picked up a shovel and was about to hit him. "You dare to argue with her? If I don't punish you for a few days, you will tear the roof off the house!"
Has she forgotten how it feels to be beaten?
This woman who has received a few years of education is very stubborn. If she were a village girl, she would have gotten used to it after a few years.
Seeing how quiet she was after she became pregnant, she thought she had accepted her fate. But she became even tougher after these few days...
"Whose man? Come on, tell me who his man is!"
Li Xiujuan grabbed the shovel that was swinging towards her. After all, she was stronger than this old woman!
From today on, she will fight with her!
When Mrs. Yu saw that Li Xiujuan was really serious, she wanted to have a fight but was afraid that Li Xiujuan would say something she shouldn't.
She felt something was wrong with the words. Could it be that Li Xiujuan knew something?
Besides, her mortal enemy Xie Dazui might be eavesdropping on her over the wall!
That matter cannot be revealed at all, otherwise the whole village will be in an uproar.
It would be better for them to wait for her son to come back and discuss it together. Now she is afraid to make trouble.
Mrs. Yu didn't even dare to snatch the shovel back. She glared at Li Xiujuan and went back to the house. Let's let her go for a while.
Li Xiujuan curled her lips. It was not like she had just found out about this today. If anyone knew Li Hongjun best, it wasn't this old hag, but the man beside her!
Only the mother and son thought they were hiding well!
At first, she thought that this was an honest and simple village man. She thought that although he had a wicked mother-in-law, at least this man was reliable.
When she moved into the Li family, she wanted to live a good life. Although the Li family's life was not easy, there was always hope if they looked forward...
It was not until later that she slowly saw Li Hongjun's true face. He appeared to be honest on the surface, but was the worst behind the scenes!
She said how could such an honest person have so many tricks...
Although she had never seen a pig run, she was not stupid enough to think that he could learn it without a teacher.
The seed of doubt was planted in her heart, and later she slowly felt the beginning of the problem. She followed the steps and unraveled the mystery step by step. Oh, it turned out that someone outside was teaching her!
In this case, the desire to live a good life in her heart withered.
She couldn't live a good life just because she wanted to. If she didn't work together, it would be in vain.
She couldn't get a divorce. No one in the village had ever heard of a divorced woman. She had nowhere to go. The Li family was not her home, and the educated youth camp was not her home either...
She could only live her life in the Li family in a daze, thinking that she would just live one day at a time.
When she found out about that, she didn't plan to tell anyone, but she just felt sorry for the old couple.
The woman's husband was a long-distance truck driver and sometimes he didn't come back once a month.
The old couple felt sorry for their daughter-in-law and did not allow her to do anything at home. They took care of her like she was serving Empress Dowager Cixi.
The result is that this thing is raised with all the good food and drink!
Li Xiujuan felt that if someone was hooking up with Li Hongjun, she wouldn't have to deal with him.
But when she thought of the old couple who were unaware of the situation, she felt a little bit reluctant.
When she secretly followed them, she saw how the old couple treated the woman, and they treated her better than their own daughter.
Isn't she satisfied with this kind of life? Shouldn't she be satisfied?
Li Hongjun and this woman probably started their relationship before she got married. It is not difficult to imagine why Li Hongjun targeted her!
In this situation, the woman would definitely not marry him, and he had no choice but to get married. If he was not married at that age, there would be rumors.
Besides, there has to be someone blocking their relationship. After all, who would think that a dull, honest man with a wife would have an affair with someone else outside?
Even if someone spreads rumors at that time, no one would guess that it was him at the first time. As long as the two of them don't meet again, they can get away with it.
At that time, Li Hongjun really liked her, not only because she was pretty, but also because she kept her head down and didn't like to talk every day. Isn't this the kind of woman he wants, someone who is easy to control but has no confidence?
The person he had worked so hard to get did make him feel at ease for a while. After all, she was young and fresh. Unfortunately, the novelty wore off soon.
They didn't even have a common language. She was quiet and didn't like to make trouble. Li Hongjun said more than once that she was like a piece of pork lying in bed.
At first she didn't understand what this meant, until later she realized that the man outside was so seductive.
