Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

When Aunt Zhang learned that it was Aunt Li who was behind this, she pointed at her nose and scolded her, "Mrs. Li, you have the nerve to introduce your poor family, your lazy nephew, and two encumbered people, two immobile old people, to Yuanchun. You are not doing this for Yuanchun's own good, you are trying to push Yuanchun into the fire pit."

"How could you be so vicious? Yuanchun is such a good girl, how could you have the heart to drag her into the hell of your Li family? Not to mention that your nephew is more than ten years older than her, just look at the situation of your Li family. Your brother and sister-in-law had a stroke and are paralyzed in bed. Not only did they not coax their daughter-in-law to serve them, they also tortured her and ruined her reputation. She was so angry that she jumped into the river. A young life was killed by them."

"And your two nephews and grandsons, I heard they often break other people's children's heads. When others go to your Li family to ask for justice, they are kicked out by your nephews. I heard that no school is willing to accept your two nephews and grandsons. How can you bear to let Yuanchun be their stepmother?"

How can you not bear it?

She saw that Widow Liu could make money, was a good worker, and could take care of children, so she set her sights on Widow Liu.

Her nephew was not ambitious, could not earn money, could not support two children, and did not want to serve her brother and sister-in-law, so she wanted to find a capable wife for her nephew.

But unexpectedly, Widow Liu was so cruel that she actually took her nephew to the police station.

Aunt Li cried, "I just wanted to find a companion for Widow Liu because I saw how hard it was for her to live alone. If she doesn't agree, then just let my nephew go. My nephew is not at fault, this is all a misunderstanding."

Although it was a misunderstanding, due to the pressure from Uncle Zhang, the police decided to detain Li Dazhi for three days and give him three days of ideological lessons.

Aunt Li sat in the police station howling and wailing about the difficulties facing the Li family.

After hearing this, several young police officers also felt that Aunt Li was immoral. Your nephew from your mother's side has a hard time, so why are you dragging Widow Liu into this fire pit?

You are such a bad person.

But the Li family has a paralyzed elderly couple in bed and two children, so the police did not detain Li Dazhi for three days. They only detained him for one day and gave him a day of ideological lessons.

After Yuanchun returned home, many neighbors came to show their concern. Yuanchun thanked them one by one and even grabbed a few handfuls of fruit candies from the grocery store and put a small handful in each lady's hand.

Then, she took out a few small wooden stools and two long benches and placed them at the door of the store, allowing the aunts and ladies to sit down and chat while she was busy turning on the stove and preparing the braised pork.

If we don’t braise it now, it won’t be sold in time for noon.

In order to save time, she asked someone to clean the pig offal and pig heads. Although it cost a little more, she felt much more relaxed.

After buying it, just blanch it in water and you can start braising it.

Yuanchun was in the store, busy but having fun.

A group of aunties and grandmas sitting at the door of the store started chatting.

Aunt Zhang said, "Hey, Yuanchun is a woman with a child to support. She is so capable and has a house and a shop. No wonder she is targeted. But this girl said that she doesn't want to remarry. She can endure hardships. I feel sorry for her. We are neighbors. You have watched Yuanchun overcome all the difficulties step by step. It has not been easy for her. In the future, we must take better care of her."

"Of course, of course. Yuanchun has been taking care of us a lot. If nothing else, the things in her shop are a dime or two cheaper than those in other shops."
