Her son followed her in the countryside and endured hardships, not even having a new coat during the New Year. Her daughter followed her ex-husband to the city, where she had good food and clothing. This gap made Li Li feel extremely uncomfortable.
But she couldn't blame anyone, after all, she wanted to divorce herself.
But the reason why she filed for divorce was because she was afraid of being killed by her ex-husband. As a result, after the divorce, her ex-husband got better and better, but she got worse and worse.
The more she thought about it, the angrier Li Li became, and she couldn't help but lose her temper.
"Eat it if you like it, or you'll fall down if you don't eat it!"
Facing Li Li's anger, Ling Chunhua was no longer as timid and scared as before, but was replaced by calmness and silence.
Ling Jiang was a little unhappy. He brought his daughter here specially on the first day of the new year, not to be upset.
"You go to the mountain and call dad back. We will go back in a while."
Li Licai was too lazy to go up the mountain to look for someone. Not only was it damp and cold in the mountains, but her clothes and shoes were also easily dirty.
"If you have anything to shout about, he will be back soon."
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dajun came back. When he saw Ling Jiang and his daughter in the yard, Li Dajun was suddenly surprised.
"Jiangzi, Chunhua, when did you come?"
"Just came here a while ago."
"Grandpa!"
Looking at his beautiful and well-behaved granddaughter, Li Dajun smiled so hard that his eyes crinkled.
"Chunhua, you look so beautifully dressed today!"
Ling Chunhua quickly replied: "My aunt bought it for me."
"That's it, then you have to respect your aunt well when you grow up."
"Um."
Although the family had no money, Li Dajun still found a piece of red paper and wrapped a red envelope of 50 cents for his granddaughter.
Ling Jiang sat for a while and then prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he converted the 20 yuan for next month's living expenses, together with 10 kilograms of rice, into 2 yuan and 50 cents, and gave them to Li Li.
In addition, he also gave Li Dajun 5 yuan separately, which moved Li Dajun to tears.
In fact, every year in the past, Lingjiang always showed filial piety to his father-in-law and his wife, but all the money was kept by Zhu Hongping, and finally it all fell into the hands of Li Zhijie.
Now that Zhu Hongping is dead, Ling Jiang's filial piety naturally falls on Li Dajun.
After seeing the father and daughter off, Li Dajun took his daughter and asked about Ling Jiale's life experience.
"Li, tell me honestly, Jia Le, is he Jiang Zi's biological child?"
He knew very well what kind of person his son-in-law was. Even his ex-father-in-law could take such good and considerate care of him. It was impossible for him to be indifferent to his own son.
Li Li also knew in her heart that Jia Le's life experience could not be hidden from outsiders, but not from her own family, so she simply told the truth.
After learning the truth, Li Dajun almost fainted and pointed at Li Li and scolded her for being confused.
Li Li argued aggrievedly, "I didn't know I was so unlucky. I got pregnant after a few times. I couldn't afford to have an abortion, so I had no choice but to give birth."
After saying that, he complained about Ling Jiang, his ex-husband, "In the end, it's not Lao Ling's fault that he is useless. Otherwise, how could I be seduced by Tian?"
Li Dajun blushed with embarrassment and pointed at his daughter, "You, how can you have the nerve to say such things?"
"What am I embarrassed to say? He works hard all day long. He falls asleep as soon as he comes home and eats. He doesn't show up for ten days and a half. What can I do?"
Li Dajun was so angry that he could not speak.
After getting angry, Li Dajun asked about Ling Jiale's biological father.
"Does Tian Kai know about this?"
Li Li shook her head, "Since I was pregnant with Jia Le, I have no contact with him."
Li Dajun and Ling Jiang are both the same kind of people. They are honest and do their duty, and they don't like to gossip about other people's rights and wrongs. They just work hard all day long.
Today was unusual. After lunch, he changed into clean clothes and went out.
Li Dajun first walked around the village and chatted with the villagers, and then turned to Tianjia Village more than ten miles away.
It wasn't until it was almost dark that Li Dajun hurriedly returned home.
Li Li complained unhappily: "I didn't know you would come back early on the first day of the new year. Jiale and I have already eaten, and there is food left in the pot for you."
"Um."
Li Dajun did not rush into the kitchen to scoop up rice, but looked around, "Where is Jia Le?"
"Let's go out and play."
Li Dajun glanced at his daughter several times, then took out a small half piece of cigarette paper from his inner pocket and handed it over.
"what is this?"
Seeing a string of addresses written on the cigarette case, Li Li couldn't help but wonder.
Li Dajun took a breath and explained: "I asked someone about it. Tian Kai is currently working in a cigarette factory. This is the address where he lives now. Do you want to go find him?"
Seeing that his daughter was silent, Li Dajun continued: "I heard that Tian Kai did a pretty good job in the cigarette factory and the salary was not low. Since Jia Le is not Jiang Zi's biological son, there is no reason for Jiang Zi to support him.
There is no such reason.
Even if Jiang Zi is happy, when he gets a new family in the future, will his family be left speechless?"
Hearing this, Li Li immediately snorted, "What she said is nonsense. She picked up old shoes that I didn't want and wore them. If she had any objections, she had to hold them in for me! I signed an agreement with Lao Ling. What qualifications does she have?"
dissatisfied?"
Li Dajun reluctantly advised, "Then don't you think about yourself and Jia Le? 20 yuan a month is enough for food, but what will happen to Jia Le when he goes to school in the future? Do you think you will be a father and a mother at the same time?"
Easy?"
These words spoke to Li Li's heart.
Since the divorce, she has not stopped thinking about looking for Tian Kai.
But she was worried that Tian Kai would still be as idle as before, and that he would not be able to count on him, but would be sucked by him instead.
She now has 20 yuan a month for living expenses and 10 kilograms of rice. If she goes to work in the city, she will earn at least 40 yuan a month.
The cigarette factory sounds good, but can you earn 40 yuan a month?
Li Li decided to find a time to find Tian Kai first. If he could earn forty or fifty a month, she might consider letting Jiale accept Tian Kai.

After hanging around all day yesterday, Yun Mo felt as soon as she got up in the morning that her legs were so sore that they felt like they were not her own.
"Daughter-in-law, are you still awake? Do you want to sleep for a while? I will come up and call you later?"
Lingchuan took the wash water and saw Yun Mo sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, so he couldn't help but ask with concern.
Yun Mo kicked her feet, "My legs are sore."
"Then I'll give you a squeeze?"
"Well, pinch it."
Lingchuan squatted down and massaged and kneaded her calf bones with his hands bit by bit.
The sore, swollen and painful feeling made Yun Mo gasp, "Hey, please be gentle...it hurts..."
Huang Zhiqiu had made breakfast. Seeing that his daughter and son-in-law hadn't come downstairs yet, he wanted to come up and call them. However, when he walked to the door of his daughter and son-in-law's house, he heard his daughter yelling, so he quickly turned around and went downstairs.
"Aunt, is my cousin upstairs? I have a question to ask her."
Huang Zhiqiu grabbed Huang Qingning who was about to go upstairs and said, "Let's go eat first."
"Cousin, they haven't come down yet."
"They will be down soon, let's eat first."
Huang Qingning looked upstairs with some confusion, thoughtfully.
