Chapter 117 A biting dog never barks(1/4)
"When did it happen?"
Li Xuewu walked into the house and asked his mother while washing his hands.
Liu Yin patted her daughter's hand and signaled her to take a rest and not to help.
However, Li Xue insisted on taking the vegetables out of the pot into the basin, and followed Ji Yuxiu's busy schedule.
When Liu Yin saw her daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law helping, she also showed a happy smile on her face.
Seeing her son asking, she also calmed down her expression. The old lady who was coaxing Li Shu to play in the same room said: "I came back last night and saw no one. This morning, I went out to pour swill.
When I met him, he was standing in the courtyard, greeting everyone one by one, and he seemed to be in a bad mood."
Li Shu couldn't understand what her grandma was talking about. She held the car bought by Uncle Di in her hand, squatted on the ground and rolled it, and showed it to her grandma from time to time.
At this moment, Liu Yin had to cope with the excitement of her eldest granddaughter and talk to her children at the same time, not to mention being too busy.
She also has a lot of free time at home, and only does so much in a day. Although Zhao Yafang is at home, she still reads books or prepares small clothes for her children when she has free time.
Liu Yin was busy with household chores, and she followed suit when she had free time.
However, she did not ask Zhao Yafang to do too much. Pregnant women should not tire their eyes, as this could easily lead to the root cause of the disease.
Just the small clothes that Li Shu wore would be better at home. When Zhao Yafang’s child is born, Li Shu’s clothes will be available for the child to wear.
At this time, none of the children's clothes are new. They are just worn by relatives.
Especially babies, they grow so fast that they have to prepare clothes before their birthday, otherwise they will be tight and uncomfortable to look at.
In this house, there are only a lot of clothes made by Li Shu, made by the old lady, made by Liu Yin, and made by Yu Li.
Yu Li did the most. She was still thinking about Li Shu when she came back last time, so she made a few new sets of clothes. The old lady changed them when she went back, which made her feel cooler.
Li Xuewu wiped his face with a towel, and after seeing the food on the table, he continued: "I saw you greeting Qin Huairu just now, so I said it didn't look right."
"Alas~"
Liu Yin sighed and said: "There is no way to say this. The East family has justice and the West family has grievances."
"The door opposite made me grit my teeth when I saw her, but she was strong and smiled and greeted the people in the courtyard. The same was true for the door opposite. She looked strange and made people panic."
Ji Yuxiu picked out the steamed buns, put them in a basin and brought them over, then continued: "There is really no way to talk about the issues in this courtyard and the problems between neighbors. No one can win."
"Do you think all the elders in this courtyard are good?"
The old lady carried Li Shu to the table, helped her sit on a chair, and placed her next to her grandma, and the two of them watched together.
Liu Yin waved to her daughters-in-law and daughter-in-law to come to the table for dinner, and then she wiped her hands and sat down.
"Some people in the courtyard asked your dad to be the steward. Your dad refused to go, no matter how many times he asked."
"It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, and there are so many things that cannot be sorted out."
The old lady also used these words to talk to the children about the principles of life. While looking at Li Shu, she continued what Liu Yin said: "Living in this courtyard, you can't be too strong, and you can't be too humble. There must be a reason.
exist".
As he spoke, he pointed to the direction of the backyard and said: "The old lady had a strong temper when she was young, and she is very powerful in this courtyard."
"And Qin Huairu's mother-in-law, they are all the same."
This is not meant to belittle or ridicule, it just tells the children to think more carefully and be more careful when doing things.
Especially the matter between Qin Huairu and the Yan family is the fault of the Yan family. Qin Huairu is also justified, but what happened now?
The Yan family is in a state of chaos, and Yan Fugui has become like this. As Liu Yin told the old lady just now, Yan Jiefang's leg is really broken again, and this time he will probably be disabled.
The key is that this disability was caused by his own father and was forced by the people in the hospital. It was said that when Yan Jiefang came back, he lay on the bed like a dead person, stopped talking, and never left the door.
I don’t know if Yan Fugui’s brain is not working well because of this stimulation. It’s all evil.
Looking at Qin Huairu again, she was angry, but she didn't get anything out of her. It made people in the courtyard mutter about her in their hearts.
Living in this courtyard, how could Qin Huairu not look at other people's fake smiles and listen to the gossip behind their backs, not to mention feeling aggrieved.
As long as this kind of conflict intensifies, no one can win. Ji Yuxiu has dealt with it more and seen more, so she said what she said just now.
Li Xuewu didn't talk much at the dinner table. He listened to his mother saying that everything in the courtyard was his family's business, or had something to do with his family.
Speaking of the opposite door, Liu Yin also told her children that if they encounter anything wrong with their family, stay away and don't rush forward.
The old lady also means the same thing. Life at home should be smooth, peaceful and joyful.
After the meal, the women sat in the main room chatting and teasing Li Shu, while Li Xuewu accompanied his eldest grandma to the outer courtyard to sit in the room.
We have just finished our meal here, and there are not many people here tonight, so we finish our work early and have our meal early.
As usual, men would not pick up the table and clean up the kitchen. Shen Guodong and Mr. Ye were gathering accounts at the desk, while Er Hao'er, Sha Zhu and others were sitting at the kang table talking.
Yu Li came out of the kitchen carrying a thermos bottle. When she saw Li Xuewu and his wife coming in, she smiled and said, "Have you just finished eating?"
"No, they came back early today and ate early too."
The eldest grandma agreed with a smile, and with Yu Li's permission, she stepped forward into the west room.
Yu Li asked Li Xuewu to go first, but Li Xuewu signaled to the east room and asked Yu Li to go to the west room to pour hot water.
In the east room, Yu Yu and Delia were clearing the table, and the boys were helping and went to the kitchen.
Just now, Li Xuewu saw someone washing dishes in the kitchen. These boys are not lazy and have learned to work.
I don’t know if Mr. Ye taught it to me privately, or if he understood the matter himself and didn’t just sit back and wait for it to be ready.

Manage each stall.
Li Xuewu came to the East Room mainly to see what the living environment was like here. He didn't say anything about it, but in fact he still cared about these boys.
The quilts and mattresses in the kang have been changed. When they came, several people would squeeze into one quilt, let alone the mattress.
It was still winter at that time, and it was considered a blessing to have a hot kang and a bowl of hot rice.
Now they were all together, each person had a mattress and a quilt, neatly folded and placed on the kang.
It was Li Xuewu who came back from the frontier and asked Biaozi to use frontier cotton and frontier cloth to pack the luggage for these people.
The handicrafts were made by Yu Li and Irene at that time. No matter what, if you have luggage, you are not considered homeless.
The eldest, second, and third children went to Steel City carrying this luggage. It was their first fortune in their lives.
Li Xuewu touched the fire kang. It was also burning in the summer, but he slept late and it was not so hot. It was good for his health.
Looking at the cleanliness of the room, especially on the bookcase over there, there are many books, and there are notes in the books. Anyone who sees it will mark it.
The days are long and hot, so the boys have been reading for a long time, which saves their worries. Silly Zhu and the others sometimes play cards in the West Room, and the concierge also plays cards. These boys did not go to join in the fun. Second Master Ye is here.
.
After walking around, I saw these boys coming back one after another. I greeted Li Xuewu with a smile, then went to the bookshelf to get a book and went to the long dining table to read it. Then Li Xuewu left the room.
"I'll pick up Biaozi"
Li Xuewu stood at the door of the west room, said something to his grandfather and others, and then went out.
When Yu Li saw Li Xuewu going out, she followed him out and helped open the door.
"After all this trouble, when will it end?"
Yu Li followed Li Xuewu and muttered: "I come here every Saturday. It's so hard to get up early and walk in the middle of the night."
“What’s not hard to do~”
Li Xuewu lit a cigarette after going out. There was no wind at night and he felt hot and sweaty all over his body.
Even though it was past seven o'clock, the treetops still looked motionless, showing no sign of cooling down.
"It's almost time for autumn to come and this work will stop."
Li Xuewu took a puff of cigarette and explained to Yu Li: "It's good to make more money now so that we can have a full stomach in winter."
Yu Li also knew that Lao Biaozi was working so hard now for the sake of the people in the courtyard and for the upcoming situation.
"I saw the commotion on the street, the young people struggling, what are they doing?"
"For what?"
Li Xuewu jumped on the jeep, took the cigarette from his mouth, and curled his lips and said: "It hurts when I'm free~"
"Bullshit~"
Yu Li scolded Li Xuewu, knowing that he would not explain to her.
She also knew that she couldn't understand even after he explained it, but she just wanted to talk to Li Xuewu more, even if she just listened to his nonsense.
He opened the door for Li Xuewu and told Li Xuewu to pay attention to his safety. After watching the car lights disappear at the entrance of the alley, he closed the door and turned around to walk into the courtyard.
As soon as I entered the screen door of the west courtyard, I saw a man standing at the screen door opposite. I walked a few steps forward, and through the light from the hanging flower door and the east room, I saw clearly that it was the third uncle in the front yard.
Ever since she broke up with the Yan family and separated from the Yan family, Yu Li has never spoken to the Yan family again, and she always pretends she hasn't seen them.
Only last time when the third uncle was injured, Yu Li asked Lao Biaozi to bring two cans with him.
Now I see my former father-in-law standing at the door looking at me, and I don’t know what to call him.
