Chapter 61 Old Lady He Makes Another Move
In the evening, Li Xi brought Hu Zi back from dinner and met Old Lady He at the door again.
Hu Zi looked at the old lady squatting on the ground with wontons and frowned, not knowing her.
Li Xi raised her eyebrows and walked over, "Make way, you're blocking the way."
Although the weather has warmed up now, it is still quite cold in the evening. Old Mrs. He wrapped her hands around herself and lowered her head to avoid the wind, so she didn't notice Li Xi and Hu Zi at all.
When Mrs. He heard that Li Xi complained that she was blocking the way, she froze and pretended not to hear and stood up by holding on to the wall.
"Are you back?"
"Is something wrong?"
"It's not easy for you siblings to depend on each other." Old Mrs. He sighed and changed the subject, "But after all, you are young and don't think too much. It's not a big deal to buy food every day."
Li Xi watched her performance expressionlessly, "Are you envious?"
Old Mrs. He choked and said, "I said this for your own good. If I hadn't seen how difficult it is for you siblings to depend on each other, I wouldn't have said this to you."
Hu Zi looked down at his slightly bulging belly. It was quite easy. These days since he moved to the city were the happiest days he had ever lived.
Li Xi: "You are envious."
Old Mrs. He: “…”
"How about this, I'll suffer a little loss and help you cook. You don't have to give me more that day, just give me twenty or thirty cents will be enough." Old Mrs. He looked like I was suffering a great loss and you were getting the benefit.
Li Xi looked at Old Lady He's expression and smiled, "You don't have to suffer any loss."
Old Mrs. He's eyes were the same. She was planning to give a little more, forty cents or fifty cents. Old Mrs. He was disdainful in her heart. After all, she was just a young girl, and she could make her go around in circles with just a few words.
Cooking is a lucrative job. When buying vegetables, she would ask for a price and make extra to take home. Oh, she is such a smart old lady.
"No need."
The three words "Li Xi" flattened the curve that the old lady He's mouth had unconsciously raised. She looked up at her in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"I say there's no need, Mrs. He, you don't think you're so smart, do you? Don't treat others as fools.
Twenty or thirty cents, why don't you go and rob it?"
You have to know that nowadays a young and middle-aged man can only earn about ten cents after working hard outside for a day, but she asked for twenty or thirty cents at the first moment. She was really bold in asking for the price.
After hearing what his sister said, Hu Zi knew that the old lady in front of him was a bad old lady. He frowned and glared at her, "Go away quickly, we don't want your help."
Hu Zi knew that not everyone who offered to help was a good person, just like when the bad grandma asked the bad uncle to help support her.
"Go away!" Hu Zi broke free from Li Xi's hand and pushed Old Lady He hard.
Old Mrs. He didn't have time to react and was pushed to squat on her buttocks. However, Hu Zi was young and naturally not very strong, so the push was not very powerful.
In addition, Mrs. He was wearing thick clothes, so she was not actually injured.
Old Mrs. He, who was sitting on the ground, reacted and realized that her previous plan would definitely fail. This yellow-haired girl was not an easy person to deal with.
Looking at the child who was looking at her angrily, Old Mrs. He simply fell back and started wailing.
"Ouch, it hurts so much—"
"Hey, come out and take a look, this new guy is bullying us!"
"Someone, come quickly! We have roots! We have roots!"
"Son, son, if you don't come out now, you won't be able to see your mother anymore..."
Old Mrs. He rolled over on the ground, holding her waist, as if she was in great pain.
Hu Zi was frightened when he saw her like this, worried that he had hurt her by pushing her just now. He subconsciously stepped back and looked up at Li Xi in panic.
Li Xi patted his head soothingly and watched Old Lady He's performance coldly.
At this time, all the people who went out to work had returned, and it was time for dinner. Old Mrs. He's wailing soon alarmed the neighbors.
They all recognized that the owner of the voice was Old Lady He, the most unpopular person in their alley. But who wouldn't love to watch the fun? Some put down their bowls and put on their coats before coming out, while others simply came out holding their bowls.
There were really a lot of people coming out. When He Yougen heard the sound, Li Xi and the others were already surrounded by people in three layers inside and three layers outside. It took He Yougen a long time to squeeze in.
He Yougen looked exactly like Old Lady He, both of them had sharp chins and monkey-like faces. After squeezing in, he looked at Old Lady He lying on the ground wailing, and a gleam of light flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" He Yougen seemed very worried. He rushed to Old Lady He and looked like he wanted to touch her but didn't dare to.
The people who came out to watch the fun curled their lips at the scene in front of them. It was the same scene again. Looking at the two lonely siblings standing aside, the people present couldn't help but shook their heads. This time, the siblings were bound to suffer the loss.
They knew the abilities of Old Lady He. Most people couldn't handle her, let alone these two children.
"Yougen, I can't move. Yougen, I haven't even taken care of your child yet, I won't be paralyzed like this."
Old Mrs. He howled as she spoke, and it hurt Li Xi's ears.
"Mom, don't scare me. Who is it? Who made you like this?"
Hu Zi looked at Old Lady He's painful expression, feeling both guilty and afraid. He carefully pulled the hem of Li Xi's clothes, "Sister?"
"It's okay." Li Xi touched Hu Zi's little head, "I'm here."
Li Xi's comfort calmed Hu Zi's uneasy heart. He tried to stand beside Li Xi with his little chest straight.
Li Xi took Hu Zi's hand and watched the farce in front of her coldly.
Li Xi: “I know.”
Old Mrs. He: “…”
He Yougen: “…”
People around: "..."
Old Mrs. He and He Yougen looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. They hadn't even shown their talents yet, so why did she stand up on her own?
"She dropped it herself." As long as you throw the pot quickly, it won't hit your head.
Mrs. He: “!!!”
"You..." Nonsense
As soon as Mrs. He said the word "you", Li Xi interrupted her, "Hu Zi, you saw it too, didn't you?"
Hu Zi reacted immediately and nodded without hesitation, "Yeah, I saw it too, she fell by herself."
Li Xi glanced at the people watching the excitement around her, "Someone told me before that Old Lady He was a scammer, but I didn't believe it at the time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the door today, her legs went weak and she sat on the ground."
The word "sit" in Li Xi's words was very spiritual, and the people around who were watching the fun all looked at Old Lady He lying on the ground.
They were not surprised that Old Lady He was committing fraud. After all, this was not the first time she had done it. Before, if someone pushed her lightly, she would just lie down and would never get up unless they extorted some money. People in the alley would avoid her when they saw her.
No one doubted that Li Xi was lying, not even He Yougen thought she was lying.
