“Fine, fine, I won’t say another word.” Although she easily assented, Li Xiangyu continued speaking after turning her head. “Li Mo, look at how much Hehua cares about you. I only scolded you a little bit, and she rushes to protect you. And try some of her cooking. Doesn’t it taste good? Beside, that one in the hut, she’s simply a spendthrift. Do you remember that small container of sesame oil I bought over at the beginning of the year? You know how expensive that oil is. In that past, that amount of oil would be enough for your family to use for an entire year. But, I checked the container. Guess how much was inside. I can already see the bottom. I feel confident in guessing that most of it was used up after she came here, right? She hasn’t been here long, and she’s used almost a container of sesame oil.”
“I let her use it,” answered Li Mo. “Fourth brother was home recently, and he likes to eat food stir-fried in that oil.”
“Even if he likes it, he can’t eat it like it’s rice. You can clearly see that she has no financial sense.” Li Xiangyu curled her lip.
Li Mo lowered his head to eat. He didn’t say anything else. He knew that no matter what he said, his aunt would be able to twist his words. Fortunately, Man-er wasn’t here and couldn’t hear these words meant to embarrass her.
Li Xiangyu said a lot more words, but seeing that Li Mo wasn’t acknowledging them, she angrily raked up a few mouthfuls of rice and stopped speaking.
The meal was eaten in oppressive silence. Fortunately, nothing else came up.
After the meal was over, Hehua took the initiative of cleaning up. Li Mo left the kitchen with Li Xiangyu. Worried that she would have more words for him if they went back to the eastern hut, he suggested for them to visit the newly purchased fields.
Li Xiangyu agreed, then she urged Hehua to hurry up with cleaning up so she could come with them.
Very quickly, the group of people headed out. Li Man looked out through the window and saw that the courtyard was deserted. It was extremely quiet outside. She immediately let out a long sigh of relief. She came out of her room to prepare food for the piglets and chicks.
Right after she was done with this, Li Yan and Li Shu returned home.
Li Man blankly stared at them. “Why did you guys come back so early?” Even if they had gone out to do short-term work for another family, they normally wouldn’t knock off from work until the sky was dark.
“Are you okay?” Li Shu hastily ran towards her and scrutinized her in worry.
Li Man doubtfully answered, “I’m fine.”
Seeing that she was fine, Li Yan slowly smiled and said, “Little Five already told us about everything. Big aunt made things difficult for you as soon as she came over here. You didn’t snivel?”
“You’re the one that snivels.” Irritated, Li Man glared at him. “Did you guys come back because of this?”
Li Shu scratched his head. “Little Five said oldest brother wanted us to come back? Where’s oldest brother?”
“He went to fields. Why did he call you guys back?” Li Man felt very uncertain.
Li Yan shrugged. “Isn’t it because of you?”
Li Man felt even more doubtful.
Li Yan looked at Li Shu. “That tanned woman came and she wants to be our wife. You can do whatever you like.”
“Understood.” Li Shu quickly figured out why oldest brother had sent Little Five to secretly get them.
Li Man somewhat worriedly looked at them. “What are you guys planning?” She saw that Li Shu was suddenly grinding his teeth. It looked as if he was going to eat someone?
“You should go back inside. Don’t try to sneak a look.” Li Shu quickly took the small bucket from Li Man and ushered her towards her hut.
However, she could see a group of people walking back here in the distance. She stopped questioning them. It would be better to go back to her hut and rest instead of staying out here to be scolded.
As soon as she went inside, Li Shu looked around. In the end, he picked up the hoe from a corner. He decided that this would be quite good for his purpose.
