Along the way, Mrs. Li told her everything she knew about Tang Lihua, nagging so that the witch must see clearly if she was entangled by dirty things.
Because her son-in-law was also present, Mrs. Li didn't say it so bluntly.
The bus wobbled to the county seat. Tao Liguo, who was originally taciturn, swallowed his saliva unconsciously when he saw that he was getting closer and closer to home.
Tao Liguo felt a little regretful, and he was thinking about something, that was his old lady, didn't he suddenly change his temper, his strength became stronger, what a big deal.
It's just that he wants to change his words now and say that he won't let him see it, and he can't justify it, so he has to bite the bullet and lead people home.
Tang Lihua was making lunch, Tao Lexuan was reading the book she had just brought back in the living room, and Tao Jiabao was playing with the car.
Hearing the knock on the door, Tang Lihua took a look through the cat's eyes and saw Mrs. Li smiling into a wrinkled old face, her brows raised unconsciously.
Tang Lihua opened the door, and Mrs. Li stood at the front with a smile, "Old relative, I'm here to disturb you again today."
Tang Lihua ignored her, and set her eyes on an old lady with closed eyes who was supported by Tao Liguo and Li Qin behind her.
Tao Liguo's face was full of guilt and embarrassment, and Li Qin didn't dare to look up and look directly at her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Li saw that these two were useless, and secretly cast aside, she still had to come by herself, "My in-laws, why don't we go in and talk about it first?"
"Come in, the fire is still on in the kitchen, I'll go and have a look, you guys sit down first." Tang Lihua also showed her sophistication.
After speaking, she headed towards the kitchen. As soon as Mrs. Li entered the room, she could smell the aroma of food in the room, and she felt a little hungry.
Tang Lihua took out the sweet and sour pork from the pot, covered it with a cover, wiped off the water on her hands, took off her apron and hung it behind the door before going out.
Under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Li and the others, Tang Lihua didn't bring out any food, and she was a little embarrassed to invite them to eat together.
Tang Lihua closed the kitchen door tightly, and said with a smile, "This kitchen is heavy with oily smoke, so close the door so as not to smoke you."
"What are you doing standing up, come and sit down, I don't have anything to entertain at home." Tang Lihua beckoned them to sit down at the dining table.
Tao Liguo supported the blind woman, and he was relieved when she sat on the chair. He looked at Tang Lihua in embarrassment, "Mom, it's not that Li Qinfei ran back to her mother's house. I brought her back, so..."
Tao Liguo couldn't continue, he had long forgotten the excuse he made.
It was still Mrs. Li who didn't look right, so she quickly said, "My girl is too shameful, what does it look like to always go to her mother's house, I came today, just to apologize to you, and I promise you that in the future She will go back to her mother's house if there is any little thing, and I will definitely break her leg."
What Mrs. Li said was forceful. This was her true thought. When she saw her daughter come back today, she wanted to use a broom to drive her away. Although there were more such incidents later, Mrs. Li made up her mind. No matter what, she has to put her words here.
Li Qin stared at her squinted eyes wide, and looked at the old lady in disbelief, without telling her in advance.
Tang Lihua didn't care about it at all, "What a big deal, Li Qin is your own daughter. Although she married into the Tao family, we don't restrict her from going back to her natal family. Don't think too much about her in-laws."
Mrs. Li's smiling face froze, "That can't be so outrageous."
The two confronted each other for a few words, and Mrs. Li always felt that she couldn't make it up, so she almost patted her chest to ensure that her words were true, and she would never condone her daughter being so unruly.
Tang Lihua had no choice but to say, "Success, since my in-laws have said so, I can't refuse."
For some reason, Mrs. Li suddenly felt a kind of satisfaction in her heart.
It's like Tang Lihua's compromise is a glass of ice water in the dog days, which makes her very refreshed.
Mrs. Li didn't see her daughter's desperate wink at all.
Before Li Qin returned to her natal home, she had no time to tell her that her mother-in-law wanted her to lose weight. If the blind mother-in-law didn't work, and if she didn't want to starve to death, she still had to stay at this house.
But thinking of the tossing and tossing this morning, Li Qin's scalp became numb, and his whole body began to ache.
Li Qin still thought that if she really couldn't stand it, she would go back to her mother's house to eat and drink for a few days, and then come back after being disgusted.
It's just that you listen to what her old lady is saying, from breaking her leg as soon as she returns to her mother's house, to not only breaking her leg, but also letting her brothers twist her back in person.
Li Qin was simply hopeless.
Mrs. Li didn't know if she felt her daughter's resentment, she coughed lightly, remembering today's business.
"By the way, my in-laws, I haven't introduced you yet. This mother-in-law is the goddess of our village. She's amazing." Mrs. Li has lived her whole life, so of course she has her own thoughts when she speaks.
When she said this, her eyes were always on Tang Lihua's face, not letting go of any of her expressions.
If the in-laws were really entangled with something dirty, the witch would be flustered, guilty or repelled when she heard about it.
And those who have lived to their age are not like the young people now. When they hear the witch, the first reaction is a liar, and then suspicion, vigilance and rejection.
Anyway, the older generation would rather trust the sorceress.
Mrs. Li directly stated the identity of the blind-eyed woman, just to test Tang Lihua, and she was caught off guard, which should be the most authentic reaction.
Tang Lihua was slightly taken aback for a moment, followed by surprise and slight joy.
Tang Lihua's eyes were bright, as if she wanted to ask something, and it was not good to be in front of the sorceress, for fear of offending others.
She dragged Mrs. Li to the other side of the living room, and asked in a low voice, "Is this witch really effective?"
When she said this, Tang Lihua couldn't help but look towards the sorceress, with suppressed excitement on her face.
Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded with satisfaction.
That's right, that's how it should be.
Mrs. Li remembered that when she took away her fourth son's in-laws, the old ladies had the same reaction as Tang Lihua.
Mrs. Li is now 70% sure that Tang Lihua is fine.
"Yeah, let me tell you..." Mrs. Li told the story of Li Qin's childhood again.
Tang Lihua was amazed again and again, and it can be said that she is a very qualified listener.
"Come, come, come with me to the room." After listening to Tang Lihua, she seemed to have made up her mind, and felt that it was not safe to be in the living room, and it was better to go to the room.
Pulling Mrs. Li into her narrow and dark bedroom, Tang Lihua closed the door tightly and turned on the bedside lamp to make the room brighter.
Mrs. Li was a little puzzled, so she looked at Tang Lihua and sighed deeply, with a sad face on her face.
Seeing Tang Lihua like this, Mrs. Li's heart also rose, and she felt uncomfortable, "Dear family, if you have anything to say, just say it. If there is anything that can help, I will definitely help."
"Actually... oh, this..." Tang Lihua sighed a bit, and finally whetted Mrs. Li's appetite before speaking formally.
"Dear family, I see something wrong with my son and your daughter."
Just this simple sentence, coupled with the current somewhat dark environment, this room does not get sunlight all year round, and it is more humid and cold than other places.
At this moment, Mrs. Li felt a cold air rushing towards her Tianlinggai, making her feel chills in her heart. She swallowed her saliva, and she didn't know what she thought of, her face was as white as paper.
"What...why is something wrong?" Mrs. Li suppressed her beating heart, feeling that her throat was almost dry and smoking.
Seeing her like this, Tang Lihua secretly laughed in her heart, but her face was still serious and full of sorrow, "You know, I sold this house before my eldest son, and paid for the compensation to buy it. Got it."
Although Mrs. Li didn't know why she suddenly brought up this topic, she still nodded her face to save face. Of course she knew that, back then, the daughter went home and showed off.
"When I settled down, it wasn't that my family, Lexuan, was still young. I settled on my head, thinking that I would transfer the household to her when she grew up." When Tang Lihua talked about Tao Lexuan, her face was full of love.
Mrs. Li was shocked, she really didn't know about this, didn't the girl say that this house would belong to her son in the future
As if sensing her thoughts, Tang Lihua immediately felt heartbroken, "I only found out a few days ago that Li Guo and Xiaoqin both thought that this house would be theirs in the future."
Mrs. Li was a little embarrassed, because she thought so too.
"I don't know if it's their idea, but this house is not dealt with. Since the two of them lived in this house, things have become more and more wrong." Tang Lihua's face became serious again.
Mrs. Li raised her voice again with her heart, waiting for her next words.
"When my youngest son and daughter-in-law were in the village, not to mention they were the most diligent, but they would also stretch out their hands in the fields at home. But when they arrived in the city, the two of them were either in pain here or there, and they couldn't stay long when they were looking for work. I'll be driven back in a few days." Tang Lihua frowned, saying something serious.
"And you have seen my in-laws, how fat they are now, I ran into the old Chinese medicine doctor in the community the other day, and he told me that these two will get sick sooner or later if they go on like this, maybe they are already sick."
Tang Lihua brought out Tao Liguo and Li Qin's usual lazy affairs, and finally said, "My in-laws, do you think they are incompatible with this house? Otherwise, why don't you move in?" The house, the two of us who are good, have become what they are now."
Mrs. Li was very nervous at the beginning, then embarrassed, and now restless.
What do you ask her to say, saying that they are not in conflict, that they are incompatible, or that they are lazy, with you as an old scalper, of course they are comfortable lying down.
It can be seen that Tang Lihua is really worried and worried, and Mrs. Li's words are so choked up in her throat, she just can't say it.
"In-laws, can you ask the sorceress to take a look at them? I'm always not at ease." Tang Lihua was bitter, and then dragged them away in order to let them lose weight and not get sick. Go out for a run.
Mrs. Li suddenly understood why the daughter and son-in-law came back in such a hurry, telling her that Tang Lihua had run into trouble.
This is the excuse she made because she couldn't stand the crime after being tossed about. It must have been put forward by her lazy girl.
Mrs. Li felt that she had seen through the essence of the matter, and she gritted her teeth. If Li Qin was in front of her now, she would just kick her up.
But there is still one thing that I can't figure out, Mrs. Li is not holding back at this time, "Dear family, why have you become so strong? I was shocked when I saw it yesterday."
Tang Lihua gave her a strange look, as if wondering why she asked this suddenly, but she still answered, "I have always been so strong, otherwise I am a widow, how could I raise my two sons and keep people from coming to the door?" Bullying."
"You know that when I went up the mountain when I was young, I could crush such old and heavy rocks directly." Tang Lihua was a little proud when she said that.
He continued to explain, with a look of sadness on his face, "I have been strong since I was a child, at that time, my mother didn't let me speak out, and told me to hide it all the time, lest people treat me as a monster and drag me away to burn gone."
"So when I did things later, I deliberately pretended to be like ordinary people. Even if I tried my best, I would hide it from others and not let others see it.
But it’s different now, I’m an old man, and I’m not afraid of this or that anymore. For the sake of building a country, I can no longer let it go. "Tang Lihua's talk was of course nonsense. She had already thought of an excuse when she had exposed her infinite strength. Anyway, Mrs. Li couldn't go to anyone to prove it.
Mrs. Li was really taken aback when she heard it, she followed Tang Lihua's words and thought about it, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was so.
That's right, Tang Lihua is a widow with two children. How could there be no bums in the village who came to bully her? There must have been, but she just beat her back.
There are definitely some, but the husband who died young has a high seniority in the village, so the old people in the village have been protecting the orphans and widows, and no one dares to come to the door openly.
But this Tang Lihua definitely wouldn't talk to Mrs. Li, and she just watched with a smile as Mrs. Li made up some loopholes in Tang Lihua's words.
Not long after, Mrs. Li looked enlightened, and she patted Tang Lihua on the back of her hand, "It's really a blessing to your in-laws, it's not easy for us to be women."
Tang Lihua accepted that it was not easy, and returned to the main topic, "Li Guo and Xiaoqin..."
When Mrs. Li heard these two lazy bastards, she raised her face and her eyes flashed fiercely, and comforted Tang Lihua, "Don't worry, my relatives, I will leave this matter to me. Let's not talk about Liguo. For my daughter, I guarantee that the sorceress will be able to cure you." good her!"
