Chapter 45: While it’s hot
Li Muyang had no choice but to briefly tell the story of Li Xiangqin being beaten.
Zhao Yali was very worried when she heard this, "That Xiaogang is serious, how can he hit someone? The couple is living together, and they should discuss things carefully. Hitting people will definitely not work, and it will not solve the problem."
"You know what the heck, I didn't think Liu Xiaogang was a coward from the beginning. I didn't agree with him at the beginning. It was my mother and my eldest brother who felt that if he worked as an accountant in the village, he would be considered half a public servant. Look, he's still acting like this now.
He got started, who the hell gave him the courage? Why do you really think there is no one in our Li family?"
Li Mudi didn't know whether he was blaming others or scolding his wife. He seemed very excited and irritable. He took out the dry cigarette from his pocket, but was not in the mood to roll it, so he stuffed it back in.
"Stop talking, why are you so angry? We will solve the problem when it happens. Look at how anxious you are..."
Zhao Yali patted her husband's hand gently and comforted him with a gentle tone.
Li Mudi's breathing slowly slowed down under his wife's consolation, and he squatted on the stone roller next to him to roll up a dry cigarette.
Zhao Yali turned her gaze to Li Muyang again and asked with concern, "Muyang, what do you mean, is Qinqin at your home now?"
"Yes, sister-in-law."
"Then why didn't she come to us? If such a big thing happened, she should tell us that we should discuss it with everyone. How can she be a girl who has been bullied and has no one to stand out?"
Li Muyang thought of Li Xiangqin's words and said helplessly: "Qinqin hasn't figured out what to do yet, so I don't know what to tell you."
"That's true, she is a married person after all, and her opinion cannot be ignored in this kind of matter... By the way, does eldest brother know about this?"
"I don't know yet," Li Muyang shook the cage in his hand, "I steamed the buns and planned to send a few over. I'll tell my eldest brother by the way. Qinqin's ideas are hers, and we brothers can't let them.
My sister got beaten in vain, just..."
"You're just not sure which direction Qinqin is leaning, right?" Zhao Yali saw Li Muyang's concerns.
"What else can there be? How can we live with such a person? We can't get away from him!"
Li Mudi added something aside.
"Don't talk nonsense. Qinqin is a married girl. She must have her own ideas. Don't try to solve the problem. After all, it depends on her own ideas."
Li Muyang nodded, "Yes, I think so too. It's easy to beat Liu Xiaogang, but after the beating, the matter still needs to be resolved. If Qinqin still wants to live with someone else, then we will add fuel to the fire."
."
"Well, Muyang, don't you want to go to your eldest brother's house? Go and ask your eldest brother's opinion first. Mom is lying on the kang. My eldest brother must make the decision on matters at home. What do you think, shopkeeper?"
Li Mudi was silent for a moment, took three puffs of cigarette in a row, and almost finished the hand-rolled cigarette before saying angrily, "Okay, let's ask the boss first. I don't think this matter is over yet."
Li Muyang felt that what the second sister-in-law said was reasonable, so she said goodbye to her second brother and sister-in-law, and moved to her eldest brother's house.
After entering, I found that my eldest brother was repairing the tire of the bicycle in the yard, and my sister-in-law was sitting under the eaves to collect the soles of her shoes. When I saw Li Muyang coming, my eldest brother smiled honestly and said, "Lao Wu is here, sit down wherever you want."
However, the sister-in-law glanced at Li Muyang, her eyes rested on the bamboo cage in his hand, and asked casually with a hint of teasing: "Lao Wu, why are you here again? Why do you always come to our house to hang out when you have nothing to do? Is it because the family can't open the pot?
Already?"
"It's not my sister-in-law. I cut two kilograms of meat at the market today and made buns with alfalfa sprouts. I thought I would give it to you to try. My elder brother and sister-in-law usually take care of me so much, and I haven't done anything for you.
It’s just a few buns, don’t dislike it.”
With that said, Li Muyang carried the bamboo cage over first and opened the lid, "Sister-in-law, it should still be hot. Can you try it?"
Milan Lan began to see Li Muyang coming in looking depressed, holding a bamboo cage with bags in his hand. She thought he was coming to borrow food again, so she didn't give him a good look.
I thought to myself, my family is not a charity shop, why would it be annoying to come to us for everything?
She even thought about how to ridicule this brother-in-law.
Although she would still lend him food later, she might as well take the opportunity to degrade him.
It doesn't matter what you think in your heart, Milan Lan can never shut the door.
But.
She was very surprised to see Li Muyang's steaming buns wrapped in cloth in the bamboo cage.
This is the first time Li Muyang has given something to their family.
Although the buns are not all white flour, judging from the color, at least half of the white flour is added inside.
This is completely unimaginable.
She looked up at Li Muyang and couldn't help but ask: "Lao Wu, where did you get the white noodles?"
"Oh, I recently dug some Cordyceps sinensis in the mountains and sold it for some money. I thought that my mother would not be able to bear it after eating thick noodles all day long. So during the market today, I bought some white noodles and meat and came back to make bread.
Baozi, I thought I would be taken care of by my big brother and sister-in-law on weekdays, so I brought it to you to try, don’t dislike it.”
"Why do you dislike it? We are very happy that you have such a heart."
The elder brother heard what Li Muyang said and said with a smile while putting the tire in a basin filled with water to look for leaks.
His tone was very brisk, as if he was a little relieved.
Probably thinking that this brother has finally enlightened and is no longer the stupid boy who is as honest as a stone.
How can you not be happy as a big brother?
Milanlan put the soles of her shoes aside, stood up and took the bamboo cage, her expression obviously much happier, "Since you bought it for my mother, why don't you leave it to my mother to eat? Why did you give it to us? It's not like we don't have anything to do with it."
Eaten."
As he said this, his hand naturally took the bamboo cage.
"You are yours, this is just a little bit of kindness from being brothers."
"Okay then."
Milan Lan went to the kitchen with the bamboo cage, "Then you talk to your brother and I will copy the bamboo cage for you. Do you want to drink water?"
"Sister-in-law, I just came out of home and I'm not thirsty at all after eating."
"Oh."
Seeing Milan Lan carrying the bamboo cage into the kitchen, Li Muyang walked over and squatted next to his elder brother, helping him lift the basin side up to make the water level higher so that the elder brother could soak the tires.
"Aren't you busy today?"
"Isn't it raining this morning? There's a market in town, so I went for a walk and bought some things..."
When Li Muyang said that it was a gathering, he naturally thought of Li Xiangqin and stopped talking.
Li Mutian immediately discovered that his brother was abnormal.
After all, we are brothers, and we know each other very well.
Li Mutian was looking down at the car tires when he suddenly noticed that Li Muyang's words had stopped abruptly, but he didn't seem to have finished speaking.
