“Moreover, Village Chief and his wife only lived in this house, they are lonely. Our boss rented a room and let us live here to lively up the atmosphere. The house is good, we like to live here.”
Wang Shugen felt like his face was burning in shame. Even an outsider knows that the old couple needed company of their children and grandchildren. As a son, he can’t do anything.
Regardless of what, Mrs. Li didn’t give her husband a face.
“Awu Dage, our house is much bigger than this. Besides, it’s not far from Bai Zhi’s house. It’s close to your workplace. It’s better to live in our house than here. Hurry, pack your things and go with me.”
Awu shook his head: “I know sister-in-law’s kindness. But this thing, you don’t need to mention it again. I have decided, I will not change my mind.”Seeing that Mrs. Li’s facial expression drastically changed, Awu busily said: “Today, Miss Bai gave me some melons and rice noodles. I will give you some to take back home.” Awu said and then entered the house.
Hearing that she could take something back at home, Mrs. Li’s face eased by two points. Then, she looked at Village Chief Li and said: “Father-in-law, you can’t waste the money for the rent, Yuanming will soon have to marry, we don’t know how much money we need to spend. If our money is not enough, you should give some share.”
Village Chief Li’s eyes became cold. He doesn’t want to talk too much nonsense with this woman. This woman, aside from asking money, she was not willing to look at him. Whenever they meet at ordinary times, she was not even calling him father-in-law.
Village Chief Li didn’t make a sound, he faintly looked at his son and then went back inside the house.
Wang Shugen lowered his head, he didn’t dare to look at his father’s eyes.
“Hey – I haven’t finished talking to you!” Mrs. Li wanted to catch up and continue her nagging. But, who knows where Wang Shugen got the courage, he pulled back his wife.
Mrs. Li turned her head and asked: “What are you doing?”Wang Shugen busily loosened his hand and said: “Isn’t the time is late? Yuanming is still waiting for us at home to eat. When Yuanming is getting married, we can talk about it again.”
Mrs. Li looked at the sky, it was true, the time was really not too early. If they go back late, Yuanming will get angry at them.
At this time, Awu came out with a cloth bag and a small basket. The cloth bag was filled with rice noodles and the basket was filled with potatoes. In fact, there were only a few potatoes, because they were big.
“Sister-in-law, we are poor, we don’t have much to give. These things were also just sent by Miss Bai. I give you some of it, I hope you won’t mind.”
How can Mrs. Li dislike it? As long as she doesn’t need to spend money, she likes it.
After handing things over, Awu added: “Miss Bai said that these melons should be eaten soon. When it has buds or turn green, you shouldn’t eat it, otherwise, you will be poisoned.”
This matter, Mrs. Li had long been heard about it, it spread all over the village. So, she smiled and said: “Yes, I know, you go back inside and have dinner. I will send you back this bag and basket tomorrow.”
Seeing Mrs. Li and Wang Shigen figured disappeared from the distance, Awu released a sigh of relief.
Every family has a problem!
Inside the house, Awu sat back on the table. Village Chief Li said with an embarrassed face: “I made you see us a joke.”
Awu busily said: “No, sister-in-law still give us a face, I am already satisfied.” Compared to the Bai Family, the Bai mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were much worst.
Village Chief Li sighed and didn’t say anything about it anymore. He simply said: “Let’s eat.”
