Chapter 273: Li Family
Ru’er still had a fever and somewhat coughing . Bai Zhi took out a few pieces of medicine . She also took out a bag of potatoes and a half bag of rice noodles, so that when Village Chief Li’s daughter-in-law came to their door and they said something unpleasant, they could bring out something to block their mouth .
Awu’s family doesn’t have much luggage . They only have a few pieces of clothes and two old quilts that Zhao Lan gave them . And also the potatoes and rice noodles that Bai Zhi gave them .
When they unloaded their things from the carriage, Mrs . An, Village Chief Li’s wife, was making a few good meals . She told them to have a meal first: “Let’s eat first, although there’s nothing much to eat . There’s also nothing much inside the room, it can be clean in a short while . ”
Zhao Sue quickly took her daughter to the kitchen to help to cook . And also to clean the kitchen .
Mrs . An is already old . It’s very hard for her to do some household choirs . However, today, because Awu’s family came, she made another two more dishes . Mrs . An rested a bit to catch some breath . She was really tired . Seeing another figure was still busy in the kitchen, Zhao Sue, who was diligent and sensible, couldn’t help but show a smile on her tired face .
A large group of people sat down at the table, but before they could eat a meal, the voice of Village Chief Li’s daughter-in-law sounded outside .
“It smells so good, look at it, only them are eating braised pork meat . ” Mrs . Li said with a smile, but people could tell she said it while gritting her teeth .
Wang Shugen, who was beside Mrs . Li, pushed his wife’s arm: “Keep your voice low, don’t let my parents hear you . ”
Mrs . Li’s eyes rolled and said: “What did I say wrong?”
Wang Shugen was famous for being afraid of his wife in the village . If Mrs . Li pointed him to go to the east, he will not dare to go to the west . Otherwise, he will not dare to separate with his parents for so many years . He even not dare to send rice to his parents to give support .
Mrs . An’s frowned her eyebrows and put down the chopsticks in her hand . She doesn’t need to go out to see the look in her daughter-in-law’s face, she can imagine it .
Village Chief Li said to Awu: “It’s my eldest son and daughter-in-law . It’s okay, you eat first . I’ll go out and see . ”
After listening to such sour remarks, who can still eat? Awu was afraid for Village Chief Li to get in trouble, so he also went outside with him .
Seeing Village Chief Li came out, followed by a man in his early 30s . Mrs . Li’s face was covered with disgust and wanted to speak .
However, Village Chief Li opened his mouth first: “You came right on time, I wanted to tell you, this is Awu, their family is renting a room here . They will live here for the time being . ”
Renting?
Mrs . Li’s face slightly changed in color, how could they rent a room? Liu Guihua said that Awu was an escapee . Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan kept his family in the village to work free for them . But because the house was still not finished, they let his family live in the Li Family for free .
Liu Guihua said very clearly that it’s to live free and not renting!
Wang Shugen, who was beside Mrs . Liu, breathed a sigh of relief: “I see, so they are renting . The room has been empty for so many years . I didn’t see anyone live there . ”
Mrs . Li looked at Awu, who was standing in front of her . He was wearing rough clothes . She can’t count the patches on his clothes . He also has a knife injury on his face . He looked so poor or more likely, he looked like an escapee . Where did he get money to rent a room? If he had money, why did he lived in Huantou Village and not somewhere else?
