Chapter 386 Everyone in the village is laughing
Li Pingwang is still aggrieved. He is old, hunched over, and does not wear the clothes bought by his eldest daughter-in-law Liu Lanxiang. He likes to wear this jacket and trousers with holes, and a washcloth hanging around his neck. A towel with holes, a handful of tears, and a handful of snot.
Everyone feels pitiful when they look at it.
He turned over and over and cried to the villagers:
"Hongyan has three sons. She is under great pressure and the Zhao family is poor, so I just want to help."
"I don't care about the boss's family anymore. To build a house, they dug up a tree that was planted on the land to the south of me. Have I asked him for money?"
"I am old and can still eat a few bowls of rice. I just want to build a house."
Liu Lanxiang was almost angry to death: "What you said is ridiculous. You can build a house with just one tree? Bricks, cement, tiles, wages, everything costs money. How can you build a house with just one tree?" How much is a tree worth here, do you have the nerve to ask for it as a father?”
"I won't settle this account with you. Why don't you tell people clearly that you are not asking for money to repair the house at all, but you are trying to get money for your family Hongyan in some way?"
"Besides, it's not like Hongwei won't build your house for you. He told you clearly that the materials and wages will all be paid from him, but you didn't listen."
Li Hongwei was clumsy, and she was anxious to explain to the neighbors.
Over the years, this father-in-law has ruined Li Hongwei's reputation everywhere.
Disobedient and selfish, his eldest sister can't live a good life. He won't borrow a dime. He is naturally inhumane and is far worse than Hong Jianhong.
If you are not filial, you will not see him show any filial piety throughout the year.
Obviously every year she buys food, drinks and clothes for her father-in-law and mother-in-law in order to silence her eldest aunt Li Hongyan.
"Stop talking. We all know in our hearts that he won't listen to us even if we say this." Everyone advised Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang to stop talking.
The couple knew very well that what Li Pingwang said was truth mixed with lies. People who didn't know the inside story might be deceived by him and really think that Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang were unfilial.
But they, the villagers, knew very well that it was unfair for Li Pingwang, the elder.
The couple are the ones who are wronged.
"Brother, didn't I tell you that I will build your house for you? It will be done right away. Don't worry, if he doesn't do it, we will blame him later." Someone of the same generation as Li Pingwang persuaded him.
Li Pingwang was persuaded by everyone, and others just gave up when they saw what he was doing, but he became more and more energetic.
"It's not easy to be beautiful..."
"It's not easy for my son-in-law to shine..."
"The three boys all need to get wives. Now the boys don't have a house and can't get a wife. Hong Yan is so worried that she can't sleep..."
He complained to the people around him everywhere, hoping that someone could say something for him. He was not unreasonable. It was his eldest daughter Hongyan's life that was too difficult.
"I'm a father, I can't ignore her."
Finally, someone couldn't stand listening anymore and shouted outside the crowd: "I heard that your Hongli's son-in-law is about to divorce her before she has a baby. Have you ever gone to see her? How did you tell me about this? Is there still time left?" Can’t make it?”
"Yes, I heard that Hongli is having a hard time. If she is bullied, you have to help her out. You can't let her husband's family bully her."
Li Pingwang cried with tears in his eyes and stopped immediately.
"I, I don't care about her affairs, I'm so old..."
He opened his mouth and came up with the excuse that he said he didn't know how much money it was.
But this time after he said it, he reacted for a while and felt that the words were inappropriate.
But he quickly found an excuse: "Hongli has been disobedient since she was a child. She is not even half as sensible as her eldest sister Hongyan. If she doesn't know how to study hard, she only knows how to make trouble for her family all day long..."
Anyway, for various reasons, because Li Hongli is not as sensible and obedient as Li Hongyan, so he doesn't care about her, she deserves it.
In the eyes of parents, whoever they say is filial is a daughter who is filial, and whoever they say is unfilial is unfilial.
No matter how miserable your children are, there is nothing you can do about having such partial parents.
With great difficulty, Li Pingwang was persuaded to leave. Li Hongwei was extremely angry, and Liu Lanxiang couldn't even eat.
"Repair, repair it for him, repair the house, and see what he wants to do in the future." Li Hongwei said angrily.
Not caring that it was busy farming time, he took a cigarette and went to say good things to people. He wanted to repair the house quickly. If he found four or five people, it would be done in seven or eight days at most.
At this end, Li Pingwang was still thinking about how to get money.
Suddenly, I saw the boss, Li Hongwei, leading a group of people to repair his house.
They are all the people in the village who build houses for people. Building houses is very simple for them. They know the basics. Li Pingwang has nothing to say in front of these people. He just wants money. If he is not in a hurry to repair the house first.
What he meant was that the eldest daughter Hongyan was anxious about her eldest son Zhao Pengfei's wedding house. After taking this money, she would raise some money herself to make a down payment and get a house so that she could get married.
As a result, not a dime was seen.
He was a little panicked and couldn't eat the steamed buns in his hands, so he quickly put them in the bowl: "I'm going to practice today? Then where will I live?"
"The fourth child's house is empty. You can stay with him these days." Li Hongwei said expressionlessly: "If you don't want to go, you can stay with me."
Li Pingwang didn't mean that, he just wanted money.
Li Hongwei led a group of people to inspect the entire house. The walls should be reinforced and all the tiles on the roof should be replaced. The problem of rain leakage could be solved immediately.
Li Pingwang didn't even have to move, he lived in several houses in rotation.
Within three days, the house was really repaired. The wooden windows in the bedroom with paper windows were replaced with glass windows, and the light suddenly became much brighter.
The dilapidated kitchen was also renovated with a large stove and tiles, making it clean and easy to scrub. Two more cabinets were built and placed against the wall. The pots and pans were neatly placed, even in the yard. A small room was built for each dog's kennel.
Li Pingwang calmed down and looked at his newly renovated house again and again. He felt inexplicably better. It did look clean and he felt much more comfortable.
But soon, I remembered that Pengfei didn't have a house yet, and I became worried again.
If anything happens to Zhao Xueyan in Li Hongyan's place, she has to tell her sister-in-law Liu Lanxiang.
As for Li Hongjian, he always talks to his eldest sister Li Hongyan about anything. In his eyes, his eldest sister Li Hongyan is smart and has many methods, so he goes to his eldest sister.
Li Hongli’s matter.
Li Hongyan didn't care. She endured it for three days before returning to Lijiacun to find her father, Li Pingwang.
Someone in the village liked to see jokes and asked her: "Hongyan, I've been busy these days. Your dad is repairing the house. This is a big deal. Why didn't you and your son-in-law come over to help?"
Li Hongyan quickly explained: "Oh, it's just unlucky that we haven't been at home these two days."
After saying that, the bike rode very fast.
Then he gritted his teeth and cursed: "None of your business."
Several old ladies in the village were still laughing.
"It's just an excuse for not being at home. She just doesn't want to come to work."
"She's very seductive. She won't touch anything that's not good for her."
