1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Li Weiguo stood in the middle of the yard, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

As he looked at his second wife Qin Xinghua rolling on the ground, an indescribable anger and disgust surged in his heart.

Li Weiguo cursed in his heart: "This second wife is too shameless! Uncle Dahu's family is in such a difficult situation, and she actually wants to come and force them... She doesn't want to give Uncle Dahu's family a way out!"

Li Weiguo's eyes were fixed on Qin Xinghua, his thoughts churning in his mind.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, let alone humans! He really couldn't understand what his second grandfather and his wife were thinking...

At this time, Qin Xinghua didn't care about Li Weiguo's anger. While she was throwing a tantrum, she was secretly calculating in her heart.

She thought of what Li Xiuzhi had said to her last night, and her mind became active again.

"Mom, Sister Dahe actually introduced a formal worker in the city to her cousin Chen Lanxiang.

I heard that she is married. The man is a cook in a steel rolling mill and a regular worker with a stable salary every month.

You said there was such a good thing, why didn't uncle and aunt think of me?"

When she heard this, she was also shocked. Are these still the elder brother and sister-in-law she knew?

If this had happened in the past, her elder brother and sister-in-law would have definitely been thinking about Xiuzhi's marriage without her saying anything.

But now, such a good marriage has been given to an outsider. This result makes her feel unbalanced, and jealousy and resentment burn in her heart.

She thought that no matter what, her eldest brother and sister-in-law should let Dahe's wife introduce the chef to her daughter Xiuzhi. After all, they are a family.

Her daughter Li Xiuzhi was even more unwilling to accept this, and she even told herself: "Mom, you must get along well with your uncle's family in the future, and never offend them again... Otherwise, your daughter will never be able to marry a city person..."

Who would have thought that it was such a coincidence that when she came to Dahu's house to ask for chicks today, she ran into that brat Li Weiguo.

"She can't break up with Big Brother's family right now. Even if Li Dahu is lucky today, I'll go back first. Anyway, those chickens can't grow up in one day. Let's wait and see. Sooner or later, those chickens will belong to me..."

Thinking of this, Qin Xinghua's momentum weakened a little, and she began to think about how to end it perfectly.

Li Dahu, who had been standing in the corner, looked at the familiar and helpless scene in front of him with numbness in his eyes.

He had long been accustomed to his mother's unreasonable behavior, but every time such a scene occurred, his heart would still be hurt.

"This is my own mother, how could you treat me like this?"

Li Dahu lamented in his heart, but was powerless to change anything.

He was so uncomfortable with these words that he couldn't help but start coughing violently again.

"Cough...cough..."

More and more villagers gathered around, and their eyes were filled with contempt for Qin Xinghua and sympathy for Li Dahu.

"Qin Xinghua is too much. She comes to the Dahu family to make trouble again and again. Does she act like a mother at all?"

Uncle Wang said angrily, his eyes full of anger and his hands on his waist.

"That's right. Dahu is such a good person, but she tortured him like this. His health was not good to begin with, and now she is so angry that he has become ill!"

Aunt Chen echoed, her face full of helplessness, and her eyes were full of pity when she looked at Li Dahu.

"I think she is just jealous of the Dahu family's hopeful future and doesn't want them to live a good life. She is really vicious..."

Finally, this person snorted disdainfully, his eyes full of contempt for Qin Xinghua.

The sound of people's discussions reached Qin Xinghua's ears, but she acted as if she didn't hear it and still sat on the ground, refusing to get up.

But she also knew in her heart that she might not be able to take advantage of it today.

She turned around suddenly and saw the cloth bag on Li Weiguo's bicycle.

"Huh? What's in that cloth bag?"

Qin Xinghua's eyes light up again...

Seeing that Qin Xinghua still refused to restrain himself, Li Weiguo suppressed his anger and stared at her motionlessly.

He took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger in his heart, and said: "Second Madam, in front of so many villagers, you should stop!

Don’t you have any idea about Uncle Dahu’s physical condition?

Are you trying to kill Uncle Dahu's family by making such a fuss?"

Qin Xinghua trembled slightly when she heard what Li Weiguo said, but she still said stubbornly: "He is my son, he should be filial to us, what do you know! But you can let me not make a fuss today, Weiguo, give me the things on your bicycle..."

Li Weiguo followed her gaze and this sentence almost made him lose his temper.

He smiled and said sarcastically: "Second Madam, do you know what's in that cloth bag? You want it when you see it..."

"What could it be? Food. Now that your whole family has gone to the city, there must be too much food to eat..."

Qin Xinghua stared at Li Weiguo's cloth bag motionlessly, her eyes full of greed.

"Humph! You are really unreasonable. Those were the medicines my grandma asked me to bring back to treat Uncle Dahu's cough... I have never seen such cold-blooded relatives like you... Are you worthy of being an elder?"

As soon as Li Weiguo finished speaking, the neighbors around him started talking again.

"Auntie Quanfu is a kindhearted person. She did not forget her sick nephew in the village even after moving to the city..."

"Being an aunt is a hundred times better than being a biological mother..."

"Who says Da Hu has a hard life? With an old lady like this, life won't be bad in the future..."

At this moment, when Li Dahu heard what Li Weiguo said, he was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears. He was grateful to them from the bottom of his heart for having such an uncle and aunt.

But he knew his health was good, and he was afraid that no matter how much money he spent or how many medicines he took, it wouldn't be able to be cured...

"Weiguo, cough cough... take these medicines back and return them! cough cough... thank your grandma for me, cough cough... thank her for thinking of me..."

When Li Dahu said this, he couldn't stop crying, and the villagers who were watching couldn't bear it.

Li Weiguo hurried forward and held Li Dahu, who was coughing violently.

"Uncle Dahu, believe me, this medicine is extraordinary. It was prescribed by a very good old doctor I met. My father regained feeling in his lame leg after taking the medicine. He said it would heal in a month. The old doctor also said that your illness is not a big problem, but you have delayed treatment for too long. You need to take medicine for about seven days..."

When Li Dahu heard Li Weiguo say that his father's lame leg had regained feeling, he was happier than he was that he had hope of recovery.

"Weiguo, ahem...are you serious? Ahem...is there any hope that your father's leg can be healed?"

Li Dahu showed ecstasy on his face, his brother Dajiang's leg can really be cured!!!

"Of course it's true. The old doctor said that if my father's leg persists in taking medicine every day, it will heal in a month...Uncle Dahu..."

Ahem... "Weiguo, ahem...I believe you, ahem...I'll take the medicine, I believe..."

Li Dahu was shaking with excitement, and although he was coughing violently, Li Weiguo saw his trust in him from his face.

Just as the uncle and nephew were excitedly sharing this hard-earned joy, Qin Xinghua ran away in shame, like a thief.
