Rebirth Ninety's Fat Wife Should Be Self-reliant

Chapter 182 Food Stalls

All the seasonings were ready at home. When she got home, she boiled some aniseed water and soaked the melon seeds, and Zhou Huilan started to prepare dinner.

It’s the winter melon season again, and she hasn’t eaten a winter melon cup for a long time. She saw a very fresh winter melon at the market today, so she bought a section, and simmered it in the pot with fresh pork ribs.

The melon seeds were almost soaked, so I turned on another stove and started frying them.

Stir-frying melon seeds is a slow process, so there is no need to rush.

Pour the soaked melon seeds into the pot and use the heat of the iron pot to stir-fry them back and forth so that each melon seed can be heated evenly and absorb the flavor. However, it is really tiring to stand beside the pot and stir for an hour like this.

She hadn't done such strenuous work for several days. She poured the fried melon seeds on the bamboo grate to dry, and turned off the heat of the winter melon and pork ribs pot. Zhou Huilan flicked her wrist and felt an unexpected soreness.

Lu Changqing hadn't come back yet, and Yaoyao was still playing in the small garden. Zhou Huilan stretched, returned to the bedroom, locked the door, grabbed the safety buckle on her wrist, and entered the conscious space in her mind with a flash of thought.

After not coming in for a few days, Zhou Huilan was obviously shocked by the scene in front of her.

The big tree that was originally just sprouting buds has grown lush and leafy.

The growth of this tree seems to be related to the irrigation of the ancient well next to it, but it seems to have nothing to do with it. After all, I haven't been in for a long time, so naturally I won't water the big tree again. Then it was just a bud leaf, because

What's stretched out?

Zhou Huilan circled around the big tree several times, but couldn't see why.

The leaves are lush, but there is not even a fallen leaf under the tree.

The vegetables grown in the open space next to it did not wither due to long-term neglect. Instead, they grew beyond normal height. The leaves of the vegetables were larger than the palm of the hand, and the garlic seedlings grew more than one meter high.

Zhou Huilan went over and cut off a piece of it. The dish was actually quite fresh and tender, which was really surprising.

After turning left and right, Zhou Huilan felt surprised, but Yaoyao was still at home, and she didn't have time to take care of the vegetable field today, so she fetched a bucket of water and soaked her hands in it, feeling the fatigue all over her body dissipate little by little.

, the whole person became much more relaxed and happy.

After it gets dark, the street stalls gradually become busier.

The food stall was quickly filled with people, but none of this seemed to have anything to do with Li Man.

She just sat mechanically by the faucet, washing the dishes that would never disappear in the basin, like a machine.

Suddenly, Li Man seemed to hear a familiar voice. She stopped what she was doing and raised her head in confusion. There was a lot of noise and excitement around her, but no one paid attention to her.

So Li Man continued to wash the dishes.

But not long after, a pair of rough hands reached under the faucet and grabbed her hand.

"Zhao Di, you can't ignore your brother!"

Li Man was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and saw his biological mother. Her face was haggard and dusty. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot.

Li Man pushed her mother's hand away and put down the dishcloth and bowl in her hand. There were no stools here, so she could only give her mother her stool, "Mom, why are you here?"

Li Man's brother beat someone in the village. The person was admitted to the hospital and called the police, who then arrested her brother.

The family who was beaten agreed to settle, but they asked Li Man's family to pay 1,000 yuan in compensation. If they couldn't pay the money, Li Man's brother would be sent to jail.

Catching up with his mother's expectant eyes, Li Man was helpless.

Let alone 1,000 yuan, she couldn't even get out even one yuan.

But my mother didn’t believe it at all, “Don’t lie to me, you are just a younger brother, can you bear to ignore him? That is the lifeblood of our Lao Li family! Where is your salary? Where is the money you have earned from working for so many years?

?”

While her mother was talking, she slapped Li Man with her hands complainingly. The thin Li Man followed her slaps and stepped back step by step. Finally, she couldn't retreat and fell on the stone steps. The moment she fell, she realized what she was doing.

He covered his stomach.

"What are you doing? Over there?" the landlady shouted.

Li Man's mother immediately stopped and greeted the landlady with a smile on her face, but instead of explaining, "You are the landlady here, right? I am her mother. Something happened at home and we need money urgently. Could you please advance a few dollars in advance?"

The monthly salary comes out.”

"Salary?" The landlady looked at Li Man with disdain, "She doesn't get paid for working here."

"No salary?" Li Man's mother suddenly shouted, "You dare to hire people without salary and bully my daughter, right?"

But the landlady is chubby and not short, and she is not afraid of the thin Li Man’s mother at all. “Her salary has been taken away by her man. An old woman like you, don’t mess around here, it will affect you.”

I'm in business, be careful to hit you!"

Li Man's mother was so frightened by such an arrogant landlady that she didn't dare to step forward anymore. When she turned around and saw her daughter saying nothing, she became even more angry.

"You just watch me being bullied? Are you my daughter? What are you going to do about your brother?" Li Man's mother said to push her daughter, but Li Man pushed her daughter like a puppet.

Just move once and not even say a word.

This look made Li Man's mother even more angry.

"I'm going to find your mother-in-law. I've given such a big daughter to him, and I don't believe that they won't save her!" Although she said this, she was waiting for Li Man to stop her.

But Li Man sat back on the small bench and continued to wash the dishes.

"You dead girl!" In Li Man's mother's eyes, her daughter looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, but she just didn't want to give her money.

Annoyed, she kicked over the clean bowl that Li Man had washed next to her and started making a fuss.

But Li Man was in a pile of debris, futilely picking up the intact things, and still didn't pay much attention to her.

But the landlady who heard the commotion came over.

"This is fifty cents a bowl. I won't blackmail you. Old lady, just pay the money and leave."

"What money! I have no money!" Li Man's mother said while trying to grab the bowl on the ground and smash it.

Fortunately, Li Man quickly blocked her with quick eyesight and hands, preventing things from getting worse.

But the boss lady still found a few people to twist the old lady and put a rag in her mouth.

Li Man quickly got up and explained, "Cousin, she is really my mother."

Liu Zhenkui was called over from the wine table. Hearing that Li Man was causing trouble here, Laoyuan's footsteps quickened, he rushed forward and hit Li Man on the head without hesitation.

"You stinky bitch, you don't make money for me, and you still cause trouble. You really think I have too much money and no place to spend it!"

The beating was so severe that Li Man lay directly on the ground.
