After all, Yu Lele is still a child who has never seen the world. She is different from other children in the village. Other children have either experienced in the field or gone to school. Only Yu Lele did not do well in these two points and has been fishing in troubled waters.
So when she saw that Li Xiu was ignoring her, tears immediately fell. and her hands trembled more and more: “Mom, you can’t do this, you have to help me, I, grandma, will beat me to death!”
Although the old lady is old, she is not ambiguous in fighting people.
When Yu Tong was twelve or thirteen years old, the original owner was still here. Yu Lele went to the kitchen to steal food several times, and then pushed it on Yu Tong. Old lady Yu beat Yu Tong really hard with a broom.
At that time, Yu Lele often saw Yu Tong walking with a limp, and she even laughed at her for being stupid, but now it was her turn; her legs started to tremble.
With her small body, how could she withstand Mrs. Yu’s beating? ! “Now you know to be afraid? Why didn’t you think about it when you spent money? Little bastard, how much are our family’s daily living expenses!” Li Xiu said more and more angrily; this time she was really angry, and her stomach hurt. She hurriedly sat down while leaning against the rough wall, clutching her stomach in pain.
Yu Lele kept thinking about herself and didn’t notice Li Xiu’s abnormality, “Mom, I really know I was wrong, and I won’t dare again in the future, just help me this time! I don’t want to be beaten!”
After all, Yu Lele is Li Xiu’s own daughter. Li Xiu had a problem with Mrs. Yu couldn’t understand how she always kept money in her hands. so she still wanted to help Yu Lele this time. It’s just that there is really no good way, Li Xiu gritted her teeth and said, “I might as well continue pretending to be sick; maybe Mrs. Yu won’t mention the money.”
“But grandma will always remember,” Yu Lele wiped her tears, Sobbing softly, “She’s stingy …Mom, I can’t hide like this.”
Seeing Yu Lele’s cowardly appearance, Li Xiu couldn’t help but get angry. She covered her belly with one hand and grabbed Yu Le’s ear with other : “Tell me about you, this is not good, that is not good, what What do you want to do? Who provoked you?”
Yu Lele hid back and dared not speak. Li Xiu sank her heart and thought deeply. The nine yuan must be made up-no, Li Xiu spent a bit too much before. and what she wants to make up is probably not nine yuan but more.
Although Yu Lele was useless, she was right in one sentence, and it was not enough to delay this matter. “How about…” Li Xiu said in a deep voice, “Go to Yu Tong? No, it’s to go to Lin Xianglian!”
Yu Lele was startled, “Mom, what are you talking about, How can you go? to them for such a thing. They will definitely not help us.”
“Who wants them to help? I mean, force them to give us a few dollars! For example , let’s talk about Lin Xianglian’s work. Unexpectedly, got a job. and left the whole family behind. went to the city to enjoy life. She didn’t care if the old lady was sick, and asked her to pay for the medical treatment of the old lady!”
Yu Lele rolled her eyes, thinking that this is feasible “But mom, you have been pregnant for several months, and now the fetus is not stable, Can you go?”
Li Xiu slapped Yu Lele on the back, “I let you go!”
***************
Li Xiu leaned on her stomach again Pain” dragged on for a few days, and three days later, Yu Lele complained about Li Xiu while walking to Yu Tong’s house.
Knowing that she is saving face and letting her do this kind of thing, if Yu Tong really owes them money; it’s fine, but the problem is that Yu Tong doesn’t owe them at all? Making up such a lie to ask for money… How can She said it?
But if you can’t say it, you have to say it, Yu Lele doesn’t want to be beaten by Mrs. Yu, and Yu Changzhi’s physique can’t stand it when Mrs. Yu beats someone up.
Yu Lele rushed to the gate of the county middle school to wait for Yu Tong. She didn’t know where Yu Tong lived, so she could only wait at the gate of the middle school in the county seat.
Not long after, Yu Tong came out of school, followed by two girls, and the three of them walked out, talking and laughing. Many people greeted Yu Tong when they passed by, and Yu Lele was very jealous when she saw Yu Tong’s popularity.
When she was in school, few people greeted her. But Yu Lele didn’t dare to go to Yu Tong right now, so she followed her all the time, planning to talk to Yu Tong’s house.
After all, there is Lin Xianglian in Yu Tong’s family. Compared with Yu Tong, this Lin Xianglian is easier to kill. Maybe in order to keep her reputation, she sent her away with money?
Although she knew it would be very difficult to accomplish, Yu Lele still wanted to try in order to avoid being beaten.
Li Xiu’s saying is right: if you want to avoid being bullied, you must have the ability to turn the dead into a living, Yu Lele still lacks exercise; this is a good opportunity.
On the other side, Yu Tong was completely unaware that there was someone behind her.
It’s not that she is not vigilant, but that Yu Tong can’t imagine who would follow her in this era. She was busy saying sweet words to Zhu Xiaosu.
For the past two days, Zhu Xiaosu has been worrying about the future. Her grades are not going up or down, and she feels that she can’t do it like this, but she can’t make up her mind what to do. Zhu Xiaosu wailed: “It feels like going to school is useless. I don’t know if I can continue to go to school after graduating from junior high school. Why waste this time?”
Zhu Xiaosu has always been very kind to Yu Tong, and Yu Tong repays her kindness. After another classmate left, she said to Zhu Xiaosu seriously: “It is still good to go to school. After graduation, the state will pay for it. If When you graduate from university, it will be even better.” It’s amazing, so if your family has the conditions, it’s better to continue studying.”.
“Really?” Zhu Xiaosu was very frustrated, “Why do I think there is no way out for studying? Look at the current situation… “.
She groaned a few times but didn’t dare to say more. “This situation will change sooner or later. Isn’t your family’s conditions good? Study hard in the next two years, and you will have opportunities in the future.” For some reason, although Yu Tong is not two years older than Zhu Xiaosu, Zhu Xiaosu just feels that Yu Tong is like a very far-sighted elder sister. she said that reading is useful, so it must be useful. Zhu Xiaosu was ruthless, and made up her mind: “Okay! I’ll study! Study hard! Tongtong, you have to help me.”
Seeing that Zhu Xiaosu’s confusion seems to have been resolved, Yu Tong smiled sincerely: “No problem, you helped me so much Many times. why can’t I do for you?”
“Then it’s decided; I’ll study with you in the future.”
Two girls in their teens, like four- or five-year-old children, still haven’t forgotten the promise.
Zhu Xiaosu had to go back to the dormitory, and she couldn’t walk with Yu Tong, so she had to walk the rest of the way by herself.
Thinking of Lin Xianglian’s promise to make hand-rolled noodles and pork stew today, Yu Tong even walked a lot more briskly. Sure enough, people can’t eat less.
Yu Tong was vigilant, so when Yu Lele had an opportunity, she followed Yu Tong all the way to the latter’s house watched Yu Tong happily enter the door, and then the smell of meat sauce came from the room. Lin Xianglian was very good at cooking, and the stewed meat was fragrant, and Yu Lele’s stomach started to growl just by smelling it.
She licked her lips, and her determination to find trouble became firmer.
Why should she be beaten while Yu Tong is living a good life here? !
Thinking of this, Yu Lele stepped forward and knocked frantically on the door.
Probably because the knocking on the door was too exaggerated, and the neighbors around came out. Not long after, Lin Xianglian also came out to answer the door. She looked at the door curiously and said, loudly, “Who’s there?”
It’s already this time, so no one should come looking for them.
Yu Lele kept in mind Li Xiu’s teachings; she took a deep breath and said aggressively: “Auntie, are you going too far?! Grandma can hardly get up, and you still eat hot food here?!”
After Lin Xianglian’s mother and daughter moved to this street, their living standards have been good. Although Yu Tong deliberately concealed it, they couldn’t stand Wang Linlin, who was lying on the fence and staring.
Everyone knew that Lin Xianglian worked in a factory, where the work was easy and she earned a lot of money. In addition, Lin Xianglian could also make clothes, and the neighbors didn’t think there was any problem with them.
Listening to Yu Lele’s words now, it seems that there is something hidden? It was time for dinner, and many people were sitting on the threshold with their chopsticks in their arms, listening to the opera while eating.
At first hearing, Lin Xianglian thought that Mrs. Yu was really sick. After All in all, Mrs. Yu was Yu Changyong’s mother. If she was sick, Lin Xianglian should visit her anyway. She immediately said: “Mom is sick? I’ve never heard of it, Where is she, Has she been to the hospital? Come on, I’ll take a look with you right away.”
Yu Lele didn’t expect Lin Xianglian to be so easy-going; she was stunned for a moment, and then she began to feel complacent.
As long as Lin Xianglian is easy to talk to, it’s fine if she is easy to talk to. to, and it’s easier to ask for money.
Yu Lele put on a straight face and said in a rough voice: “Do you still know that grandma is your mother? Back then, you took advantage of my mother’s pregnancy, couldn’t do too much tiring work and left, leaving such a large group of people behind. Do Still recognize grandma? Haha, I I misread you; I really thought you were an honest person!”
Lin Xianglian frowned, “Lele, you can’t say that. You know why I left in the first place. You…”
“Don’t you dislike the poor and love the rich, and think that Lao Yu’s family is poor?! Don’t think I don’t know you; you have a bad stomach! Hurry up and stop talking nonsense, since you and Yu Tong can eat meat. For grandma’s hospitalization fee, You also have to do your part and give the money!”
Yu Lele was still afraid, so she went straight to the point. Yu Lele didn’t think there was anything wrong with making up nonsense. but the others were quite surprised.
After all, Lin Xianglian still gave them a very good impression. She is honest and hardworking, has a good temper, speaks well, and never haggles over every detail. Who would have thought that she would hate the poor and love the rich? Tsk, it really is knowing people and knowing their face but not knowing the heart, and people’s hearts are separated by belly!
Although Lin Xianglian knew that Yu Lele’s words were not pleasing to the ear, but if Mrs. Yu was really ill, she would have no money to treat her.
Thinking of this, Lin Xianglian said seriously: “Mom is sick; of course I have to contribute. But there are some things I have to say first. After my husband left, I have served Lao Yu’s family for more than ten years. I have worked hard without credit. I left Lao Yu’s family not for money. I haven’t remarried until now, What is there to dislike about the poor and love about rich? Lele, if you and your mother didn’t bully us too much, how could I leave?”
Although she should pay Yes, but Yu Lele can’t be so vague, one is one, two is two, everything has to be explained clearly. This is what Yu Tong taught her.
When it came to the matter at Lao Yu’s house, Yu Lele looked away uncomfortably. She hadn’t reached Li Xiu’s rank yet, so she was somewhat lacking in confidence.
“Don’t come here; do you just don’t want to take money?!”
Lin Xianglian’s voice was flat: “Tell me, how much is the total? hospitalization fee? I don’t have much, so I can only give you what I have. You take it.” Hurry up and go back to the hospital; don’t let the old lady suffer.”
When she heard that Lin Xianglian was willing to pay, Yu Lele put away her sharp edge, and she breathed a sigh of relief and said, “20 yuan.”
The lively neighbors were shocked. When they heard that Lin Xianglian was willing to contribute money, they felt that Lin Xianglian was honest. After all, they all knew that Lin Xianglian’s husband was gone. She was able to guard her mother-in-law for more than ten years, and she was still willing to contribute now that she was gone. That means she is a good person.
But… Lao Yu’s family can’t pay 20 yuan per mouth, can they?
How much is Lin Xianglian’s monthly salary?
Seeing that Lin Xianglian had no intention of refusing, everyone felt a little anxious, for fear that Lin Xianglian would really give the money to Yu Lele.
Just as she was getting angry, a clear and translucent female voice suddenly sounded: “Yu Lele, tell me what kind of disease grandma has.” The person who spoke was Yu Tong, who had just come out of the room. She went to the supermarket, and only now did she hear the movement.
Just kidding, Yu Lele went to the supply and marketing agency to spend a lot of money two days ago, Zhou Yutian told her, today Granny Yu is short of money to see a doctor? She is afraid it’s not that Mrs. Yu is short of money, but Yu Lele, who spent too much money in the supply and marketing cooperative, right?
Yu Lele only spent 9 yuan at the supply and marketing cooperative, and she was really a lion, asking for 20 yuan.
Seeing Yu Tong come out, Yu Lele’s heart skipped a beat twice. For some reason, she was a little afraid of Yu Tong, so she had been wanting to finalize this matter with Lin Xianglian just now. Now that Yu Tong is out; things are not so simple.
“It’s all your fault!” Yu Lele said fiercely on purpose, “After you left, how much more work will grandma do? She is so old; how can her body bear it? Yu Tong, thanks to grandma for treating you so well!”
Aunt Ma, who usually loves nosy things, couldn’t help standing up. “Tongtong, what’s going on? You really left grandma’s family behind?”
She still likes this little girl, Yu Tong, very much. I don’t want her to be a heartless child.
Yu Lele immediately said: “Of course, my grandma has been recuperating in poor health since she left, and she didn’t come back to take a look. It’s just a village away, and the distance is so close. It doesn’t take a day to see it once.”
Auntie frowned, looking at Yu Tong with complicated eyes. She hates unfilial people the most, Yu Tong is obviously good in other aspects, but why…
“Stop talking nonsense.” Yu Tong rolled her eyes in her heart, “How How many more times do you have to quarrel with this crap? Do you want the whole world to know what you and your mother did to make you happy? Did you forget?” How did you drive me and my mother to the firewood room, forget that you rest at home every day, and leave all the work to my mother? My mother is very kind to you; you don’t have to do this!”
Yu Tong turned to Aunt Ma and said: “Aunt Ma, think about it; if this family is normal, although my mother and I will take away two work points when we leave, but the same reason, there will be two fewer people in the family to eat.If we leave, how could the family won’t be able to survive? Is it because they don’t work at all?!”
Speaking of this, Aunt Ma suddenly realized. She just said, why did she feel a little awkward, She didn’t figure it out just now. This is really as what Yu Tong said.
Lao Yu’s family was able to collapse after Lin Xianglian’s mother and daughter left, how much work would have to be done in normal times!
Aunt Ma turned to Yu Lele angrily and said, “Hey, little girl, you can’t tell lies. What Tongtong said just now is true? Are you bullying people like this?!”
Looking at Aunt Ma’s murderous look , Yu Lele’s legs trembled, She took a step back unconsciously, leaning on the wall to find a sense of security.
“I didn’t tell a lie, so I didn’t bully her!”
**************
In the ward of county hospital, Mrs. Yu was rummaging through Li Xiu’s pocket, and something was wrong with her.
In the past two days, Li Xiu complained that she had a stomachache, so she never mentioned the money, but why couldn’t Li Xiu find a penny? She paid for the hospitalization for the past two days, so it stands to reason that Li Xiu should still have money.
Of course, Mrs. Yu didn’t deliberately go through Li Xiu’s bag, but she took over from Yu Changzhi to take care of Li Xiu these two days and had to do Li Xiu’s laundry. When washing clothes, She has to take out the pockets. She is afraid that if there is something in the pockets, she will wash them together. If she wash the money or something, it will be wasted.
As a result, Mrs. Yu washed Li Xiu’s clothes for two days without seeing any money, so she became suspicious.
Granny Yu walked up to Li Xiu with her clothes and asked suspiciously, “Xiu’er, where did you put the money? I know you don’t want to give it to me, and I didn’t want it at all. The money is for you to have a baby, as long as you and The baby in your belly are safe, so it doesn’t matter if you eat more good food with this little money, but you…why don’t you have any money?”
Granny Yu is quite interesting in doing this matter, and it’s all about this . At this point, Li Xiu couldn’t even make a mistake.
She lay on the bed in embarrassment and whispered: “I put it away, no, no, it’s all spent.”
Mrs. Yu is an old Jianghu, and she could tell at a glance that Li Xiu’s expression was wrong, and her voice immediately became stricter. ” What’s going on? Don’t lie to me! I hate for others to lie to me! Do you think I’m old? and confused?!”
Seeing Mrs. Yu getting angry, Li Xiu’s heart trembled.
She smiled and said: “Mom, don’t think too much; you are not old at all. you are still young. We all rely on you, If you get angry, what should I do? if you have troubles?” ?”
The flattery words could not erase the suspicion in Old Madam Yu’s heart, “If you really think so, tell me clearly, where is the money?!”
Before leaving, Old Madam Yu gave Li Xiu two hundred yuan, afraid She needs money for the examination, and she is afraid of any emergencies. This is not a small sum. After Li Xiucai came for a few days, it was gone? ! Li Xiu faltered and tried to explain clearly.
Mrs. Yu was anxious: “If you don’t make it clear, I won’t care about you. Just do what you like! Don’t expect to take a penny from me!” Hearing this, Li Xiu was also a little anxious.
Her fetus is still unstable, and she has to stay in the hospital for two days. How can she go back now? Between her son and her daughter, Li Xiu made a difficult choice.
Of course, she wasn’t completely partial to her son, but Mrs. Yu was really scary, and she didn’t dare to defy her in front of her. “It’s Lele, Lele… bought some snacks to eat. Maybe she went to the supply and marketing cooperative and found it fresh, so it cost a little more.”
“Yu Lele?!” Mrs. Yu turned around and looked for Yu Lele, “Where is she?!”
Li Xiu was startled by Mrs. Yu’s voice and subconsciously said, “She, she went to find Yu Tong. Oh no, no, she just went out for a stroll.”
Although Old Madam Yu is old, her ears are not so bad. When she heard the word “Yu Tong”, she knew that there must be something bad for Yu Lele is looking for Yu Tong.
She exploded: “Why is she looking for Yu Tong again? Are you two finished? Can you let Lao Yu’s family have a peaceful life for a few days?! You… you take me to find them, hurry up!” Lele is doing something wrong.
*********************
When Yu Tong saw Yu Lele being stupid, she felt angry. She only hated that she was born in the wrong age. If she had been born decades earlier, she must find a way to kick Yu Lele into the battlefield and let her fend for herself. Stupid and poisonous—who is he like? Li Xiu is smarter than her!
Yu Tong said angrily: “Don’t change the subject; just tell me what’s wrong with grandma, and tell me the exact name! If she is really sick, my mother and I will go to the hospital with you and ask the doctor: How much money do you want and how much should you give! If she is not sick, Yu Lele, you can figure out the consequences yourself!”
These few words were said so aggressively that Yu Lele’s little heart almost didn’t jump out. She could only comfort herself with Li Xiu’s words; she had to brainwash herself to be reasonable first, and then she could win the fight.
Yu Lele calmed down and said loudly: “Grandma is malnourished and overworked! Do you think you are so cruel to her, She still wants to see you?! Forget it; you hurry up and give me the money, and from now on we will be different! Yu Tong, I came to you because of Grandma. Otherwise, you think I want to see you again?!”
At the end, Yu Lele did not forget to beautify her behavior. This is also what Li Xiu taught her. Only when she stands firm on the moral level, the rest will help her.
As long as the situation is favorable to her, then Yu Tong can’t speak clearly, even if she has two mouths.
Yu Tong didn’t like Yu Lele’s set; she said directly: “It’s okay to give you money, but you went to the supply and marketing agency to spend 9 yuan lavishly two days ago, You are so rich, why don’t you pay full ? Why Come to me, grandma? If you want to get money today, you have to go to the hospital with us. If grandma is not sick, hehe, Yu Lele, are you planning to kneel down and apologize to me?!”
I don’t know if it’s Yu Tong’s voice The air was so cold that Yu Lele shuddered when she said the last sentence.
In front of Li Xiu and Mrs. Yu, she had never been so stage-frightened. but now, she just wanted to escape from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. But no.
Yu Lele was thinking about Li Xiu’s words when he bit the bullet and threw out the last magic weapon: “Yu Tong, your mother is embarrassing to the old Yu’s family. Grandma hasn’t said anything yet. She is good enough for you, right? Tell me , your mother is a villager; why on earth can she suddenly go to work in the city?”
