Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 274 You should volunteer to go to the workshop now.

Old Lin clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot.

Yu Rui sat on the sofa, covered her mouth, and burst into tears.

Even though I already knew, hearing Zhou Li talk about it still made me incredibly sad.

Zhou Li's eyes also reddened, and she choked up as she said, "There was a year when the old woman from the Chang family took all of our family's grain. Not a single grain was left. The kind brigade leader lent us ten catties of sorghum, and the three of us ate it from the Spring Festival until the summer harvest."

During the Spring Festival, we didn't eat meat, not even a drop of oil. We only had a handful of sorghum porridge. Xiao Bao was only two years old, and his cries from hunger were like those of a kitten. Jun An had no choice but to sneak off to the city to beg for food. He managed to get two steamed buns and three eggs for my son and me.

But on his way back, he encountered a group of thugs who grabbed him and tried to rob him. Jun'an clutched the steamed bun and eggs to his chest. He was mute, so he couldn't call for help, and he didn't dare fight back, fearing the eggs would break. He just let them hit him without retaliating. Luckily, patrolling police officers saw him and rescued him.

Upon hearing this, Yu Rui felt as if her heart was being slowly sliced ​​to pieces.

I'm having trouble breathing.

Zhou Li was prepared to make things clear at once; there were some things the Lin family should know.

"...That day was New Year's Eve. Jun'an was covered in injuries, but he was overjoyed. Although he had been criticized by the police for coming to the city to beg for food, those thugs paid him fifteen yuan for medical expenses. At that time, life was hard for everyone around here, and the old policeman still gave us his three cornbread buns for lunch, which allowed us to barely survive..."

The room was completely silent.

Many people still don't have enough to eat and live a difficult life.

There are such cases in family compounds, but almost none like Lin Jun'an, who was exploited by his adoptive parents.

Wei Sixin's face turned ashen; when Zhou Li brought this up, she had nothing to say.

She didn't dare say anything.

Because it's true.

Lin Junfeng was initially angry that his younger brother had kicked him for no reason, but now he's not angry anymore.

Compared to his younger brother, his life from childhood to adulthood has been incredibly good.

Yu Rui clutched her clothes in distress, but her eyes gradually hardened.

No one dared to stop Zhou Li or criticize her for living in such poverty, because complaining is still very popular nowadays, and no one would laugh at you for living in poverty.

Zhou Li stared at Wei Sixin and continued, "I also have a hard life. My parents died and my stepmother kicked me out. I have no home. Jun'an and I depend on each other for survival. Second sister-in-law, you just said that I am full of money-grubbing thoughts and have completely abandoned the style of hard work and frugality. Aren't Jun'an and I hard-working and frugal enough?"

You also said that my ideas are too outdated and terrible. I want to have enough to eat and I want my parents' wages to help us out so that the three of us will never go hungry again. Is that wrong?

You keep talking about how our unit's leaders are, but our food factory is under the jurisdiction of Xiangyang Subdistrict Office. Director Hu is my leader. He taught us to work hard and serve our country, but he didn't say that my husband couldn't spend his own parents' money.

Second sister-in-law, what else are you saying? This is a typical manifestation of the decadent style of the bourgeoisie. You, Wei Sixin, are living a life of luxury now, which means you have truly forgotten the importance of hard work and frugality. If you want to use this to educate me and make me truly convinced of your worth, you should volunteer to go down to the workshop now and become a worker, experience the life of an ordinary worker, and then come back to preach to me.

"I, Zhou Li, am no good. I'm just easily swayed and like to sponge off my parents. So, second brother and sister-in-law, with so many people here today who can testify, don't even think about our parents' meager salaries and assets. Give them all to us. You're so magnanimous; you don't need a single penny."

Wei Sixin's expression changed completely.

How could they refuse? The old couple had quite a few spoils of war that they had acquired through legitimate means. Not to mention, they rarely spent money and had saved a lot of their wages.

But how can she ask for it now?
Isn't that just contradicting yourself?
She sobbed softly, "Mom, look at what Zhou Li is saying. Isn't she wronging Junfeng and me?"

Yu Rui stood up and gave Zhou Li a deep look. This daughter-in-law was quite good. She glanced at her second son, then looked away, focusing only on Wei Sixin. She said, word by word, "Wei Sixin, Jun'an is my son, but I've never raised him. Our Lin family owes him everything. I know you're the boss in your family, and my son obeys you completely. So I'm telling you, all our money and possessions belong to my youngest son, Lin Jun'an. If you, Wei Sixin, have progressive ideas, then you don't need anything."

She paused, then said, "Of course, we won't give you anything, and we feel bad staying here. I don't intend to pursue your insults and abuse against me. Let's leave it at that."

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Wei Sixin in disbelief.

what?
Was the elderly woman verbally abused and mistreated?

Lin Jun'an immediately became furious and clenched his fist to hit Lin Junfeng.

You ungrateful bastard! You have such a wonderful life with your own mother, yet you still let your wife bully my mother!

Factory Director Hao happened to arrive and had to stop them, saying, "Jun'an, let's talk this out, don't resort to violence."

Wei Sixin insisted on denying it, crying pitifully. Yu Rui sighed and said to her husband, who had remained silent, "Old Lin, I was once a soldier too. I won't lie."

Old Lin stepped forward, looking at his youngest son and wife with remorse.

He said to Director Hao, "I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing."

Then he said to Lin Jun'an, "Xiao'an, carry your mother out."

According to Xiao Cangcang's account, Lin Junan carried Yu Rui away from Lin Junfeng's house.

Anyway, Zhou Li went there with the intention of completely breaking off relations.

Lu Qiaoge felt that she was right to do so.

There's no need to maintain a relationship with a woman like Wei Sixin; it's also a show for Mr. and Mrs. Lin.

Wei Sixin disregarded the fact that she and Lin Junan came to disgust Lu Qiaoge, so this matter cannot be resolved peacefully.

Zhou Li did a great job.

What's remarkable is that Little Cangcang has such a good memory.

They actually wrote all of that down.

Like a messenger, Xiao Cangcang flew back an hour later to tell Lu Qiaoge that after the Lin family left, Lin Junfeng and Wei Sixin had a fight.

The first thing was Lin Junfeng complaining that Wei Sixin had acted on her own initiative and shouldn't have invited Lu Qiaoge to dinner. Lin Junfeng's reason was that he didn't like Lu Qiaoge, so why invite her?
The second thing was that he insulted and abused his mother. Wei Sixin would definitely not admit to this. Lin Junfeng was skeptical, but still said that his mother would not slander her.

The two were arguing fiercely. Wei Sixin called him a good-for-nothing, saying that he didn't dare to fight back when his younger brother kicked him, and he didn't dare to curse back when his wife was bullied.

Lin Junfeng slapped Wei Sixin, and Wei Sixin scratched Lin Junfeng's face.

Xiao Cangcang: [Hehe, both of them have bruises on their faces.]

Lu Qiaoge looked at the gloating little Cangcang and told it to stay home and play for a while, but the little Cangcang still flew away.

They plan to continue monitoring Wei Sixin.

Just before Lu Qiaoge went to sleep, Xiao Cangcang came and said excitedly, "Little master, just now, Qin Hengzhi called Lin Junfeng out alone and gave him a good scolding. It turns out Qin Hengzhi is so fierce! He left Lin Junfeng speechless. After Qin Hengzhi left, Lin Junfeng went home and started fighting with Wei Sixin again, hahaha..."
