Chapter 372: Not Fit to Be a Foster Mother 13
Aunt Zhang found out it was Aunt Li who caused the trouble and pointed at her nose, scolding, "Old Lady Li, with your poor family, and your lazy nephew who comes with two trouble-makers and two bedridden old people, how dare you introduce them to Yuan Chun? You’re not helping her; you’re pushing her into a fire pit."
"How could you be so vicious? Yuan Chun is such a good girl, and you have the heart to drag her into the Li Family’s pit of fire. Not to mention your nephew is over ten years older than her, just look at your family’s situation. Your brother and sister-in-law, bedridden from strokes, not only refuse to coax their daughter-in-law into taking care of them but actively torment her, tarnishing her reputation until she was so heartbroken that she jumped into the river. A young life was ruined by them."
"And those two grandnephews of yours, I heard they often break other kids’ heads. When others go to your house to seek justice, they get chased away by your nephew. I heard that no school is willing to accept those two grandnephews. Given such kids, how can you bear to let Yuan Chun become their stepmother?"
How could she bear it?
She noticed that Liu Guafu could earn money, was a good worker, and could manage kids, so that’s why she targeted Liu Guafu.
Her nephew was useless, couldn’t earn money, couldn’t support two kids, and didn’t want to take care of her brother and sister-in-law, so she wanted to find him a capable wife.
But unexpectedly, Liu Guafu was so ruthless that she got her nephew into the police station.
Aunt Li cried out, "I just saw that Liu Guafu was struggling, so I wanted to find her a companion. If she didn’t agree, fine. But let my nephew go. My nephew did nothing wrong; it was all a misunderstanding."
Even though it was a misunderstanding, with Uncle Zhang’s pressure, the police decided to detain Li Dazhi for three days, giving him three days of ideological lessons.
Aunt Li sat in the police station wailing and lamenting the difficulties of the Li Family.
Some young officers, after listening, also felt that Aunt Li was immoral—her nephew’s life was hard, so she dragged Liu Guafu into the fire pit?
Such bad behavior.
However, the Li Family still had two bedridden old people and two children, so the police didn’t detain Li Dazhi for three days, only holding him for one day and giving him one day of lessons.
After Yuan Chun returned home, many neighbors came to offer their support. Yuan Chun thanked them one by one and grabbed a few handfuls of fruit candies from the sundry store, placing a small handful in each of the aunties’ hands.
Then, she brought out a few small stools and two long benches, placing them at the store entrance, inviting the aunties to chat while she busied herself with setting up the stove to prepare marinated pork products.
If she didn’t start soon, she wouldn’t make the lunchtime sales.
To save time, she hired someone to clean the pig offal and pig heads. Though it cost a bit more, it made her work a lot easier.
Once home, she’d blanch them, and then they would be ready for marinating.
Yuan Chun was busy but content in the shop.
The group of aunties sitting at the store entrance began chatting.
Aunt Zhang remarked, "Ah, Yuan Chun, a woman raising a child and so capable with a house and a shop. No wonder people have their eyes on her. But she said she doesn’t want to remarry. She can take the hardships. I feel for her. As neighbors, we’ve seen her overcome obstacle after obstacle; it’s not easy for her. We must look out for her more."
"Definitely, definitely. Yuan Chun has always looked out for us. Not to mention, the things in her shop are cheaper by a dime or two than others’."
