At the beginning of the year of famine, the lucky girl of the farm family used cheats to support the

When Li Shuangrong came back carrying a hoe, the woman was kneeling on the ground, pulling Zhou Qiaoping's trouser legs, and she said tearfully, "Sister, I really have no other choice. Xiu'er's father is seriously ill. I know that food is hard to come by. Please lend me some money. At least let him see a doctor..."

Cen Shu was now only thankful that Zhao Xiuer had brought Yisheng and Yiqiu to visit. Otherwise, she would have felt so uncomfortable because she was usually soft-hearted and her own father was sick. However, she could not take out the 20 kilograms of food by herself. Apart from feeling sad and having a hard time, she could do nothing else.

Zhou Qiaoping was not moved at all, and replied coldly: "Who can come up with so much money these days? Besides, when did you ever come back when you wanted to leave?"

The woman was really thick-skinned, and she remained calm: "There is really no surplus food at home, so please lend it to me this time. When Xiu'er's father gets better, we will pay back what we owed before."

As they were talking, Li Shuangrong came in with Li Chongwang, carrying a hoe and talking and laughing. At first glance, they saw Zhao Fanger standing in the yard and the woman kneeling on the ground.

Zhao Fang'er saw his eyes light up, and hurried over, nodded slightly, and said in a tender voice: "Brother-in-law, you're back."

Li Shuangrong frowned and said "hmm" coldly without saying anything else. He walked towards Zhou Qiaoping and said, "Mom, what are they doing here?"

The impatience in her eyes caught Cen Shu's attention, making her even more curious. Her father had always been respectful to his elders, and he would never be so disrespectful even to strangers. It seemed that these two women had done something to annoy the entire Li family.

The woman said enthusiastically, "Son-in-law is back. You must be tired from working. Let Fang'er boil some water for you."

When Zhao Fanger heard what her mother said, she immediately went forward to the kitchen, but was stopped by Zhou Qiaoping. Cen Shu was put from his grandmother's arms to his father's arms, but he kept looking at the two strangers with curiosity.

Zhou Qiaoping: "Don't bother with your visit. My kitchen is small and shabby, so how can I let Miss Fang boil water?"

Li Chongwang immediately ran inside to boil water. Today, his mother took his two younger brothers to the town to see his father and to see Chongxi's leg, so there were few people at home. If his mother was here, these two people would not be able to enter the door of his house!

Zhao Fang'er stood at the door at a loss, not knowing whether to go in or out, her face flushed, and she said to Li Shuangrong with tears in her eyes: "Brother-in-law..."

Cen Shushi opened his mouth wide and began to howl: "Ah——" his cry was deafening.

Li Shuangrong walked around holding her, coaxing her: "Our Fubao is not feeling well, right? Your mother will be back soon, don't cry——"

Then he turned around and said to them, "My little daughter is shy. If you don't have anything to do, go back and don't come again."

These words were already very unpleasant to hear, but anyone with a bit of dignity would not stay there any longer. Zhao Fanger could not stand it any longer, so she gave the woman a look and she became quiet again.

The woman looked at Cen Shu, stood up slowly, and said, "Xiu'er has given birth to a child, and we haven't had a good look at it yet. Come, let me hold you."

Cen Shu cried even louder, and the woman's hand stayed there in embarrassment.

The noise here was too loud. If there was any disturbance in the village, the whole village would know about it. At this time, a circle had already formed at the door of the Li family's wall. They were there to persuade them to stop fighting, but in fact, most of them were there to watch the fun.

Li Shuangrong was even more blunt: "Children's eyes are always clear and can see things that adults cannot see."

Zhao Fang'er couldn't bear it anymore and cried, "Brother-in-law! How can you say that? After all, my mother is an elder..."

Cen Shu had been here for so long, but he had never seen Li Shuangrong speak so many words in one breath.

"Elder? What kind of elder is she? She doesn't deserve to be called that! And you, how dare you come to my house? Your sister has been in poor health because of that incident, and my son Yisheng almost died in his mother's belly. You have no food or money now, and you know to come to my house to ask for it. Your sister had a difficult delivery because of you, why are you hiding?" Li Shuangrong said angrily.

Zhao Fang'er was so frightened by his angry glare that she hid behind the woman and dared not make a sound.

Seeing that she could no longer borrow money, the woman sobbed softly, "Fang'er was still young at that time. If Xiu'er hadn't gone to fetch water by herself, she wouldn't have fallen. It's not all her fault. It's also because of me, her mother, who didn't teach her well. She didn't know that she had to hold on to someone when they were heavy..."

Zhou Qiaoping was so angry that she almost fainted: "Say it again! You have a bad family background, and you can't teach your child anything good! Xiu'er is pregnant, and you openly let her serve her sister, but secretly let her seduce my son. You are so cruel! If it weren't for the good luck of mother and son, I would have come to your house and torn you two whores apart! How dare you come to my house to ask for money? How dare you?"

Seeing how disrespectful the Li family was, the two of them lost all their dignity and shouted at the top of their lungs: "No matter what, he is still Xiu'er's biological father! Her father is seriously ill, and as a daughter, can't she even go to see him?"

There were many gossipers in the village, and someone immediately agreed: "Oh, your own father is seriously ill, at least go and see him. How can you forget the kindness of raising you?"

"You can't be a person without conscience. If you don't care about your own parents, are you still a human being?"

Zhao Fang'er: "Dad is so sick that he can't get out of bed, he just wants to see my sister... Uncles, please help me persuade my aunt and brother-in-law, at least let my dad see my sister. This may be the last time." As she said this, she took out a handkerchief and cried.

With this fanning of the flames, many people thought that the two of them just came to invite Zhao Xiuer to go home to visit her, and their sympathy was overflowing.

Zhou Qiaoping picked up a broom and shouted at the two of them, "Put away your foxy behavior! My daughter-in-law was almost killed by you, and who from your Zhao family has ever come to see her? Now you want food and money, or if you don't have them, you want people! What are you thinking? Get out of my house. If you dare to come again, I will beat you to death at the cost of my life."

After saying that, he was supported by Li Shuangrong and said to the people around him: "You all know that Xiu'er had a difficult delivery a few years ago. But what you didn't say is that she was pushed down by the well by this good sister sent by her stepmother when she was eight months old, and that's why the accident happened. If she called for help in time, she could have given birth smoothly, but she ran away without saying a word! Xiu'er and Yisheng were in great danger. Now she comes to our house and asks for 20 kilograms of food, or silver. Who would want to recognize such a relative!"

"I know Xiu'er had a difficult delivery. I was the one who called her. She was lying on the ground covered in blood..."

"My mother-in-law was the midwife. She said she had never seen a baby so difficult, and yet she was able to keep both babies alive..."

Seeing that people around her were increasingly dissatisfied, the woman immediately took her daughter and ran out, leaving Qili Village amidst the pointing and talking of the crowd.

Zhou Qiaoping adjusted her hair and said, "Everyone knows what happened now. Please don't bring it up again, to avoid bringing up Xiu'er's sadness. Let's all go our separate ways."

Some people comforted Li Jia, some scolded the two men as good-for-nothings, and then they gradually dispersed.

Zhao Xiuer came back when it was time to make dinner, and it seemed that she didn't hear what happened.
