Chapter 45: Chapter 45 The Troublemaker

Li Guangyuan bent over to place the pig feed bucket properly, then asked Li Hongmei to help his mother into the house, before he approached Lin Jiayi.

Lin Jiayi had a face full of grievances, her eyes red as she looked at him, "Guang Yuan, they are all lying, it’s not like that at all."

Li Guangyuan patted her shoulder, "Go back to your room and change clothes," then he entered Old Mrs. Li’s room under her expectant gaze.

Lin Jiayi clenched her fists; he didn’t say whom he believed, but he still cared about her after all. fгeewebnovёl.com

As Li Guangyuan entered Mrs. Li’s room, Old Mrs. Li, still concerned about her younger daughter, immediately began to wipe tears.

Li Hongmei and Li Dongmei, seeing Old Mrs. Li act like this, also started to wipe away tears. Li Guangyuan said, "You two, go out first."

Li Hongmei and Li Dongmei looked at each other, rose, and left the room.

Li Guangyuan sat across from Old Mrs. Li and sighed, "Mom, you can’t be too biased towards Hongmei and Dongmei. If they keep getting spoiled like this, they will become lawless."

Old Mrs. Li suddenly dropped her hand from covering her eyes, her eyes wide open, without a single tear in them.

"Listen to what you are saying. They are your biological sisters, born from the same womb as you. Just a few days after that woman entered our family, you started to look down on your sisters? Are you going to look down on your old mother too in a few days? Alright, alright, I get it now. It’s really ’marrying a wife forgets a mother’. In a moment, I’ll tell Hongmei and Dongmei that from now on we must act humble and treat your wife like the Empress Dowager, we can’t let her feel wronged or angry. Even if we’re slapped across the face, and a manure bucket is put over our head, we must still smile and bear it."

After saying this, she began to cry loudly, slapping her thigh, "I must have done something wrong in my past lives, being widowed at such a young age, eating coarse meals, and raising you three siblings on my own. Just when I married you off and thought I could enjoy some blessings, this disdain from others started. It’s as if living one more day is too long..."

The tears were genuinely flowing this time.

Seeing his mother really crying, Li Guangyuan hastily consoled her, "That’s not what I meant, I’m not taking sides, how could I let her bully you, I was wrong, please don’t be angry..."

Old Mrs. Li Senior, with tearful eyes, said, "Guang Yuan, I only have one son like you, and everything I do is for your sake. I got you a wife to find you a helper. Look around the village, which other new bride doesn’t work in the fields for so long after getting married? I am heartbroken for you, the family even went into debt to get her, I can’t bear to see you working from dawn till dusk, still suffering in famine. My heart is torn apart like it’s being scratched and bitten."

"Mom, please stop, I know all this."

"You know yet you still spoil her like this? Just take today’s incident, spilling pig feed while feeding pigs, that’s all grain. No one said anything yet, but you first blame your younger sister. Is that how a sister-in-law should act? She’s just looking at us unfavorably. And that previous matter, in order to save money for your marriage, how long has it been since your sisters bought fabric? Seeing her wearing one new dress after another, can your sister not be jealous? If it wasn’t to save dowry to buy fabrics for her clothes, would I have made your sisters suffer? Now when I think about it, I feel...it’s all my incapability, making you live a poor life..."

Seeing his mother distressed, Li Guangyuan felt pity, and remembering something, he took out a roll of money from his pocket and placed it in Old Mrs. Li’s hands.

Old Mrs. Li’s face still tear-streaked, shakily counted the money, a total of 50 yuan, and looked up at him, "Where did this money come from?"

Li Guangyuan pursed his lips, "Jiayi gave me all her dowry money, take these 50 yuan to pay off the debts and buy some fabric for the younger sister."

Hearing the dowry money was in her son’s hands, Old Mrs. Li broke into a smile.
