Chapter 554 Charcoal Fire
Old Mrs. Zheng was not trying to scare Jin, at least not at this moment.
It cannot be denied that Old Lady Zheng definitely cared about Li Dalang, otherwise she would not have agreed to let Jin stay here, nor would she have willingly shared the food she got from Li Mingxia's house with Jin.
But this is all she can do. It is simply a pipe dream to ask her to do more.
Because there is one difference between Old Mrs. Zheng and Old Mr. Li. Old Mr. Li can do everything for Li Dalang, but Old Mrs. Zheng can't.
She may have love, but it is limited and she will not fulfill Li Dalang infinitely.
Therefore, at this moment, Jin also felt that Mrs. Zheng was not trying to scare her, but was really willing to give it a go.
So Jin became scared. She lost her previous pride and didn't dare to scream at the top of her lungs anymore.
"My stomach hurts, ouch, my stomach hurts!" Jin stopped arguing with Old Mrs. Zheng, groped her way onto the stool and began to groan.
Old Mrs. Zheng and Old Mr. Li looked at each other, then looked away.
Old Mrs. Zheng snorted disdainfully and gently patted the hand of her precious daughter, Li Mei'e, to comfort her.
She looked down upon Mr. Li's behavior. She would never let her precious daughter suffer any injustice. She would have to count on her daughter to support her in the future!
The expression on Li Mei'e's face had become much better. It was obvious that Old Lady Zheng had indeed helped her vent her anger, but it was not enough.
For Li Mei'e, this is far from enough.
"Mom, I haven't eaten enough eggs! I still want to eat meat!" Li Mei'e said loudly, her eyes constantly glancing in Jin's direction.
Jin glared at Li Mei'e hatefully, holding her stomach and saying nothing.
As long as he doesn't quarrel or make too much noise, Mrs. Zheng won't kill him. Although she is selfish, Li Dalang is indeed the son she cares about most.
"There is no meat at home. Mei'e wants to eat meat. If that's not possible, go to the third brother's house to ask for some first, and then return it to them later." Old Mrs. Zheng turned her head and discussed with Old Mr. Li.
What Old Mrs. Zheng meant was to go to Li Mingxia's house to ask for meat in the name of Jin.
Old Master Li was a little hesitant. It had only been a few days since he asked for a chicken last time, and now he was asking for it again. The third brother would definitely not say anything, but Li Mingxia was not so easy to talk to.
"Let's go tomorrow during the day. We'll just have one meal today. Don't we have a few eggs at home? We can stew them in the evening." Grandpa Li said after thinking for a while.
Old Mrs. Zheng frowned, thinking that Mr. Li was just making up an excuse because he didn't want to go. When she opened her mouth to scold him, she suddenly remembered something. She said nothing and pulled Li Mei'e down to the ground.
"Mother will make stewed eggs for you tonight. Add a little more lard. It will be delicious." Old Mrs. Zheng talked to Li Mei'e as they walked. Her voice was so gentle, completely different from the way she was scolding just now.
Jin sat on the stool and looked at Mr. Li, not knowing whether she should leave or not. But she also felt that she was not without any advantages. In the end, she stood up and straightened her back, pretending to be powerful.
"Jin." Old Master Li looked at the woman who was about to walk out the door and called her.
He can only be called Jin, there is no other name.
He couldn't call her "Second Brother's" or "Everyone's Watcher". He didn't know what to call this woman who made him sick and upset.
"What's the matter, Dad?" Jin stopped, turned around, and still had a smile on her face.
This was the best attitude Jin had shown towards Mr. Li in these days. No one could tell whether it was due to Mrs. Zheng's outburst just now.
Mr. Li looked Jin up and down, and his eyes finally fell on her belly.
Mr. Li was in a complicated mood. He didn't know what kind of feelings he had for the child, but he knew that the child must be born safely, otherwise there would be more trouble in the future.
This is an explanation he must give to Li Mingxia.
"You'd better behave yourself, otherwise you will have no place in this house." Old Master Li's voice was cold, and it was hard to tell whether it was a warning or advice.
Jin suddenly felt goose bumps all over her body, and the smile on her face was a little hard to maintain. She didn't answer and left the main room without looking back.
It's just getting dark now, so the charcoal has not been burned in the main room yet. The room will not be fumigated until it's almost time to go to bed at night, but the kang is still warm.
In fact, Mr. Li didn't need to live so frugally, because Li Sanlang sent enough charcoal when the first snow fell.
But Li Sanlang only brought enough charcoal for Mr. Li and Mrs. Zheng, that is, the main house.
Li Mei'e could get some charcoal to use, but others, such as Li Zhengxue, Li Dalang, and the three brothers Li Zhengzhi, certainly couldn't use it.
But how could Mr. Li bear to do this? He would rather suffer himself than let his eldest son suffer!
So the charcoal brought by Li Sanlang was divided into three parts.
One copy was used by Mr. Li, Mrs. Zheng and Li Mei'e, one copy was used by Li Dalang and Li Zhengxue, and the other one was given to the three brothers Li Zhengzhi.
Among them, Li Dalang's portion was the largest, more than the other two.
Mrs. Zheng was reluctant at first, because she felt that she was too old to give in to her son? And she also had her own daughter, what would she do if she got frozen?
But Mr. Li insisted. His reason was very simple. Li Dalang had never suffered hardship, and Li Zhengxue had been spoiled since childhood. If there was not enough charcoal to survive the winter, they would probably get sick from the cold. Then it would cost money to see a doctor and take medicine.
Whether it is Li Mingxia or Li Sanlang, they will take care of Mr. Li and Mrs. Zheng, because there is nothing they can do about it. No matter how cruel Li Mingxia is, Li Sanlang certainly can't just ignore it.
But if the person in trouble is Li Dalang, then it’s hard to say.
No matter how much Mr. Li thought positively, he knew in his heart how much Li Mingxia's family hated Li Dalang.
After hearing what Grandpa Li said, although Grandma Zheng felt very uncomfortable, she had to accept this approach.
After all, Mrs. Zheng knew that what Mr. Li said was right, even conservative!
If Li Mingxia knew that the charcoal sent from their home was used by Li Dalang and Li Zhengxue, he might just come and take the charcoal back.
However, it was also because of this incident that Old Lady Zheng would ask Li Dalang to heat the kang in the main room every day, and she had to do it in the morning, noon and evening.
