Yun Mo put down the book in her hand, and then closed the small book on the stone table where Ling Chunhua was writing.
This was the result of her teachings. Inexplicably, she didn't want Li Li to see it.
"Hey, brothers and sisters, are you free at home?"
Yun Mo sat quietly, looking at Li Li who was walking towards her with her son in her hands with a clear and distant look.
"Sister-in-law is here."
Li Li patted her son on the back and motioned him to go play by himself. Then he sat down opposite her in a familiar manner, his eyes wandering around the yard.
"Your place is better. It's big and spacious, and the water and rice can support people. Look at my Chun family. After living here for only two days, my face has become rounder."
Ling Chunhua still had injuries on her head, but Li Li didn't care and rubbed Ling Chunhua's face vigorously with her hands.
"Sister-in-law, Chunhua's wound hasn't healed yet, please be gentle."
Hearing her reminder, Li Li glanced at her and then said to her daughter: "Oh, Chunhua, look at how much your aunt cares about you, even I, the mother, can't touch you more."
Yun Mo was too lazy to talk around in circles, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing here today?"
"It's okay, I just came over to see how my spring flowers are doing."
Yun Mo didn't believe a word of this.
However, the other person was Chunhua's biological mother, so she couldn't just speak out and chase him away, so she just sat there and said nothing.
Of course, Li Lilai didn't come here just to see her daughter's spring flowers. After chatting a few words about home affairs, she couldn't help but express her intention.
"Brothers and sisters, I came here today to ask you and Kawako for help with a small matter."
Seeing that Yun Mo's attitude was cold and unresponsive, Li Li started to behave miserably, "You also know about my mother's family's affairs. My mother is still in a detention center. If she doesn't find a way to solve it, she may have to go to jail later."
Yun Mo spoke calmly, "Sister-in-law, Lingchuan and I can't help with this matter. We are just ordinary people. How can we challenge the police?"
Li Li immediately said: "I can help, sister-in-law. Boss Wei has made a condition. As long as she is given two hundred yuan in compensation, she will drop the case immediately. I am here today to borrow money from you and Chuanzi."
"I have no money."
"Sister-in-law, I trust others when they have no money. I don't believe you when you say you have no money. If nothing else, the gold bracelet and the antique jar on your hand are worth a lot of money. You are living in the Yun family.
With so much money, how could I not have saved some private money?"
It turned out to be the idea of her gold bracelet and antique jar.
"Brothers and sisters, we are a family. We should help each other. Besides, it's not like I won't pay you back after I borrow it. My old Ling is prosperous now. It's no problem to earn 180 yuan a month. After a year
I will definitely pay you back half a year."
When others borrow money, they may want to pay it back as soon as possible. Borrowing money from the Li family is no different than beating a dog with a meat bun.
Yun Mo didn't want to make Li Li look bad in front of Ling Chunhua, "Chunhua, you go play with your brother while I talk to your mother."
"Um."
After Ling Chunhua walked away, Yun Mo spoke politely, "Sister-in-law, it's my business whether I have money or not. It's my freedom whether I want to borrow it or not. As for the family you mentioned, forget it.
Well, our families are separated now, and I have never had any contact with your Li family. You can ask someone else to borrow money."
Hearing that Yun Mo refused to lend money, Li Li suddenly changed her face, "Brother and sister, are you planning to die without saving me? Why are you so cruel?"
"Oh, is your mother dying?"
"You!" Li Li was so angry that her face almost twisted, "We are all relatives after all, but you actually said such vicious and curse words. Aren't you afraid of others poking your spine?"
Yun Mo sneered, "My sister-in-law said she would not save her. Of course I thought the person was about to die. As for being poked in the spine, just like those sneaky things Li Zhijie did, it may not necessarily be who is poked in the spine.
.
As the saying goes, it's hard to guard against thieves day and night. In the past few years since my sister-in-law married into the Ling family, the neighbors in the old street have lost a lot of money and belongings, right? Who do you think is responsible for this? "
Li Li was like a rooster that had its neck strangled, and suddenly became mute.
Yun Mo guessed right. In the past few years, Li Zhijie often took advantage of the opportunity to come to Ling's house to engage in petty theft, and sometimes asked Li Li to spy and look out.
Although Li Li was not happy, Li Zhijie would ask her for money if she didn't do it. In order to keep her money bag, she had no choice but to go along with it.
Yun Mo heard from Zhou Xiaowei that thieves were often encountered in the old street.
She was originally not sure whether this matter had anything to do with Li Zhijie, and it was just a casual lie. But now when she saw Li Li's guilty and frightened reaction, the suspicion in her heart that was only 30% immediately turned into 10%.
Li Zhijie was just stealing. In the past two years, he also stole the money that Zhou's family had finally borrowed to treat Grandpa Zhou's illness.
The money was gone, Grandpa Zhou failed to cure his illness and left within two months. The Zhou family was in debt.
It wasn't until Zhou Xiaowei was injured on a construction site some time ago and received a large sum of compensation that the debt was paid off.
But Zhou Xiaowei's health was also damaged because of this, and he could no longer dare to do physical work in the future. For a poor young man who relied on strength to make a living, half of his life was ruined.
After Yun Mo took advantage of her, Li Li didn't dare to mention borrowing money again, but she also refused to leave.
She curled her lips and said: "Since my younger siblings are unwilling to borrow it, I won't force it. I will borrow it from Kawako when he comes back. Kawako will not be as hard-hearted as my younger siblings."
Yun Mo was too lazy to pay attention to the other party, and was just thinking of finding a reason to drive him away when she suddenly heard Er Bai's shouting and Ling Jiale's crying coming from the other side of the cabin.
"Erbai!"
"Knorr!"
Yun Mo and Li Li got up almost at the same time and ran towards the cabin.
By the time the two of them ran to the cabin, Ling Chunhua had already dragged Ling Jiale out of the cabin.
Seeing redness, swelling and broken skin on her son's face and forehead, Li Li was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Ling Chunhua on the face.
"How do you take care of your brother!"
Ling Chunhua was beaten so hard that her body tilted and her head hit the door frame of the wooden house, making a loud "dong" sound.
Yun Mo quickly pulled Ling Chunhua up and carefully checked the location of Ling Chunhua's wound. She was relieved when she saw no blood seeping out.
She couldn't help but turned around and scolded Li Li, "Chunhua still has a wound on her head. Sister-in-law, why did you hit her?"
Li Li snorted coldly, "I'll beat the daughter I gave birth to if I want, and I'll do all your shit."
Yun Mo was so angry that she turned around to care about Ling Chunhua, "Chunhua, you didn't get hurt, did you? Do you have a headache?"
"No, it doesn't hurt."
Maybe she was frightened, Ling Chunhua's face was a little pale, and her eyes looking at Li Li were full of nervousness and uneasiness.
Yun Mo glanced at Li Li, who was hugging Ling Jiale and coaxing her, and felt very annoyed.
They were both born to the same mother, but one abandoned them like worn-out shoes and the other treated them like treasures. It was simply irritating and hateful.
"Mom, the goose pecked me, oooh, kill the goose..."
After hearing her son's words, Li Li realized that the injury on her son's face was caused by a goose, and she was so angry that she wanted to settle the score with the goose on the spot.
