Chapter 065 Aunt Liu Lifang
The struggle brigade and the Minqin brigade are almost close to each other, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk from Liu Xinyu's house.
The grandfather and grandson came to Jiang's house, one carrying a baggage and the other carrying a bamboo basket.
Liu Lifang and his wife and their eldest daughter Jiang Yuzhu went to work in the team, while their second daughter Jiang Yumei took care of the old lady and two younger brothers at home.
The conditions of the Jiang family are indeed not as good as those of the Liu family, and their house is lower and darker than the Liu family's old house.
Seeing her grandmother and cousin, Jiang Yumei let people into the house and loudly ordered her eldest brother Jiang Jian'an to go to the grain drying field and tell Liu Lifang.
"Okay, don't be busy. We just heard that you have a breast disease and come here to take a look." Chen Zhaodi waved her hand to Jiang Yumei who was busy pouring water for them, then turned around and entered the bedroom on the east side of the main room.
The old lady must have heard the noise outside. When Chen Zhaodi brought Liu Xinyu into the house, he saw her sitting on the bedside. "It's an old habit. It's a hot day and I have to bother my mother-in-law to come and see me."
After saying one sentence, he started coughing "cough" and "cough".
Chen Zhaodi quickly handed her the tea jar placed on the bedside.
Liu Xinyu didn't like the air in the bedroom very much, so she said hello to the old lady and left the bedroom.
"Cousin, have a drink of water." Jiang Yumei poured a bowl of water and handed it to Liu Xinyu.
Perhaps because his uncle Liu Qingshan was not very close to his grandparents, Jiang Yumei and her cousin Liu Xinyu were not close to each other.
Although the two villages are not far apart, this seems to be the first time Liu Xinyu has visited the Jiang family since she was ten years old.
Liu Xinyu took the bowl handed over by Jiang Yumei, took a sip lightly, put down the bowl with a smile, opened the baggage she brought, picked out a shirt suitable for Jiang Yumei, and compared it with her. Only then did she realize that although Jiang Yumei was
Liu Xinju is the same age but shorter than Liu Xinyu, so this shirt seems a little too big.
But big is better than small, and you can wear it for an extra year or two.
"Is this for me?" Girls all love beauty, and Jiang Yumei's eyes lit up in an instant.
The conditions of the Jiang family were poor. Jiang Yumei rarely wore any new clothes. They were basically clothes that her sister Jiang Yuzhu could not wear. Many of Jiang Yuzhu's clothes were adapted from Liu Lifang's clothes.
By the time Jiang Yumei took over, such clothes had already been mended for another three years.
Facing Jiang Yumei's delighted gaze, Liu Xinyu felt slightly sad.
Divide the clothes in the bag into two piles according to size, and push the small pile of clothes in front of Jiang Yumei: "These are for you, and that pile is for Yuzhu. They are all clothes I have worn, don't dislike them!"
"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. Every one of these clothes looks like new clothes. I like them, I like them very much! Thank you, cousin!" Jiang Yumei held the clothes in her arms, shaking her head and thanking them.
Just as Liu Xinyu was about to urge Jiang Yumei to put away her clothes, Liu Lifang and Jiang Yuzhu hurried back after receiving the news.
Seeing the clothes in Jiang Yumei's arms and the clothes on the table, mother and daughter were stunned.
At first glance, these clothes looked like old clothes that Liu Xinyu couldn't wear. They were said to be old clothes, but in fact they were no different from new clothes, at least 70% to 80% new.
But why is Liu Xinyu so generous?
Liu Lifang disliked her niece Liu Xinyu very much.
The reason is very simple. Liu Lifang has never asked for a piece of clothing from Liu Xinyu since she was ten years old.
I would rather put the clothes that are too small to get moldy in a box than give them to others, even if Liu Qingshan persuades me to do so.
In fact, Liu Xinyu cannot be blamed for this matter. Liu Lifang was so troubled that she insisted on encouraging Chen Zhaodi to interfere in Liu Qingshan's marriage. She also said that it was Liu Xinyu's fault that Liu Qingshan did not want to remarry.
Originally it was just a private conversation between mother and daughter Chen Zhaodi and Liu Lifang, but it was overheard by Liu Xinyu, who was only ten years old.
Liu Xinyu was less than three years old when her mother Zhang Caiyue passed away. She grew up dependent on Liu Qingshan.
When a woman dies at home in a rural area, it is not uncommon for a man to take her home quickly.
Liu Xinyu has heard many rumors about stepmothers abusing their children, and has also seen scenes of stepmothers abusing children. She even saw with her own eyes a bloody scene where the stepmother knocked down the child with a stick.
Of course, it is not that there are no good stepmothers, but what Liu Xinyu was most afraid of when she was a child was that she had a stepmother in her family.
Of course she knew why the Liu family separated so early, but Liu Lifang knew that Liu Qingshan had no intention of remarrying, but she always whispered in Chen Zhaodi's ear, and wanted to introduce this to Liu Qingshan today, and said that which one would be more suitable for Liu Qingshan tomorrow.
but……
Can Liu Xinyu not resent Liu Lifang?
Liu Lifang asked her for clothes and she was willing to give them?!
Of course I won't give it, and I won't even go to the struggle brigade to visit relatives from now on.
Liu Lifang's temperament is really unpleasant. After being stunned for a moment, she looked at Liu Xinyu with a teasing look on her face and said: "Oh, hey, you are such a rare visitor. Our eldest lady is so expensive today."
This lowly land can make our Jiang family shine brightly!"
Talking about the eyes of the two daughters begging, I picked up the clothes on the table and shook, "Well, bring such clothes. Remember that you once said, you like to smell the mold of clothes, why
Are you finally willing to take out your clothes if you don't want them to continue to grow moldy at the bottom of the box?"
"Lifang, what are you talking about? If you don't want to speak directly, I will take it back to Xinju." Chen Zhaodi walked out of the old lady's bedroom, glared at Liu Lifang and scolded.
Chen Zhaodi had known about the lawsuit between Liu Xinyu and Liu Lifang a few years ago, so when Liu Xinyu took out the clothes, she once asked her whether these clothes were suitable for the Jiang family's cousin. At that time, her answer was still ringing in her ears, Liu Lifang's
I gave her a slap in the face just for showing off. Can she not be angry?
"Grandma, cousin, my mother was just joking with my cousin. You don't want to be on the same level as my mother. Sit down and rest for a while. I'm going to cook. You must eat before going back today." After all, Jiang Yuzhu is better than Jiang Yumei.
Sensible, he quickly took his eyes away from his clothes and relaxed the scene with a few words of laughter.
Even if she didn't hit the smiling person, Jiang Yuzhu would indeed be hurt. Of course, Chen Zhaodi wanted to give Jiang Yuzhu some face. She looked at her lovingly and shook her head and said, "I won't have dinner at your house. Your second aunt is not free today. I
I have to go back and prepare dinner. By the way, where is the canvas you borrowed last time?"
The last words were of course addressed to Liu Lifang.
Liu Lifang's face froze when she heard the word canvas.
Last time I sent the old lady to the town for medical treatment, it happened to be raining. I couldn't find anything suitable at home to protect the old lady from the rain, so I just used a canvas.
Someone took a fancy to the canvas, and the price offered was a bit high. It cost money to treat the old lady, so she sold the canvas.
Of course, we couldn't say it was sold, so Liu Lifang said it had been stolen.
Chen Zhaodi stared at Liu Lifang silently for a long time, her eyes so sharp that they could penetrate Liu Lifang's heart.
After all, she was her own daughter. Chen Zhaodi knew Liu Lifang was lying, but she just sighed in the end.
That disappointed expression did not embarrass Liu Lifang, but made her two granddaughters feel ashamed.
