After saying that, he slipped out.

Xiao Qiaoyi smiled and let him be.

The sun set in the west.

Ji Yang's family returned to their hometown.

In recent years, they rarely went home, and they could not stay for more than two days when they went home. Basically, they had no conflicts.

Li Qiuxiang did not cause trouble, and Ai Li would not give her a cold look. On the surface, they got along well. After so many years, there was nothing to worry about.

"Are you back? Oh, Jinyi has grown taller again." Li Qiuxiang smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. She reached out to take the bag on his shoulder.

"Grandma, I can take it." Ji Jinyi declined.

"Grandma." Xiao Qiaoyi also called her.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Li Qiuxiang responded.

Now both of Ji Yang's children have been admitted to famous universities. There is no such thing in a few kilometers. She is now very proud.

In addition, she has not been back for a long time, so she is very enthusiastic.

"It's time to eat soon. Go sit inside. Are you tired?" Li Qiuxiang followed Ji Jinyi and kept muttering.

Such an excellent child is her grandson.

That's a university of science and technology, he will have a great future!

It will bring honor to their family.

"It's not far, it's OK, mom, are there a few dishes left to cook? I'll help you." Ai Li was embarrassed to sit and wait for dinner, so she followed her to the kitchen.

Ning Feng was there too, she was still as fat as ever, a 40-year-old looked like she was in her 50s.

Her body was extremely unhealthy, and it was said that she had fainted several times.

There was another person standing in the corner of the kitchen, with a clumsy body. Just looking at her back, you can tell that she is pregnant. Ai Li was stunned in her heart, "Er Niu, what is this..."

The other person turned her head, her face was childish, and she called out. Ai Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"This is Hanhan's wife, Xiaojuan." Li Qiuxiang explained.

"Hanhan's wife? I haven't heard of it." Ai Li felt it was sudden, and seeing that her belly was also very big, she was a little unresponsive.

"There was no wedding banquet. My family took 50,000 yuan as a gift." Li Qiuxiang said, with a little dissatisfaction, "I hope to have a son."

"Come and wash these dishes." Ning Feng pointed at Xiaojuan with her thick fingers and snorted, "There is no dowry at all. Hanhan's family still wants to keep the money he earns from his salary. It makes me angry to see them supporting those vampires in his family."

Ai Li looked at the girl's figure and didn't know what to say.

Ji Han was only one year older than Ji Jin, and he didn't even finish junior high school. Among the four children in Ji Mu's family, only the youngest one finished junior high school, and he was still a mixed-up person.

In such an era, Ai Li didn't know what they were thinking. Ji Yang said it once, and Ning Feng told him to support it all, otherwise there would be no money, so Ji Yang ignored it.

Zhang Xiaojuan was scolded, but she kept busy with her big belly, obviously she was used to doing these jobs.

Her face was numb, neither happy nor sad.

Ning Feng's temper was not much better than Li Qiuxiang's. In just a short while, Zhang Xiaojuan was scolded several times.

"Where's Erniu?" Ai Li changed the subject.

"Going to the fields to pick peanuts." Li Qiuxiang said.

"It's been sunny these days, and there are a lot of peanuts at home. Should we have more people to go?" Ai Li continued her words.

She just saw Ji Mu's three sons in the living room.

"You have to work harder. You're going to get married soon." Li Qiuxiang said again, "I was originally dating a guy from the next village. We said we wanted 200,000 yuan in betrothal gifts. In the future, Shuo Shuo and Xiao Di will also have betrothal gifts to get married. Han Han has already taken 50,000 yuan. There's no money left at home, and that man's family doesn't have money either."

"She secretly went to sleep at someone's house. She's shameless. She's pregnant. I asked Ning Feng to take her to get beaten."

"You said you'd give 50,000 yuan. What about Shuo Shuo and Xiao Di's marriage? There's no betrothal gifts at home."

Ning Feng also agreed, and Ai Li was choked.

"Some time ago, someone introduced me to someone from Beipo Village. She's married for the second time, but she only has one daughter. If she has a son, she can stabilize her position. She's given 160,000 yuan." Ning Feng raised her voice, especially proud of it.

It costs 50,000 yuan to marry a daughter-in-law, and if you sell your own daughter for 160,000 yuan, you can still have 60,000 yuan left.

"Is it not okay to get married again? Erniu is still young. How about going out to work for a while? She is still too young." Ai Li also has a daughter, and she can't help feeling a little uncomfortable when she hears this.

"She is still young? She will become an old maid. The man's family is now building a second floor, and he grows lychees at home. He can earn 100,000 or 80,000 yuan a year. He is more than ten years older than her and is kind." Ning Feng didn't think she was wrong. She was just looking for a good in-law for her daughter.

"It's just that she broke her leg in her early years and walks a little lame." Li Qiuxiang was irritable when she said this. This shortcoming could be seen by others at once. She felt embarrassed and waved her hand, "Forget it, forget it. Erniu had an abortion before, and people knew about it. They are the same stuff. We don't know whether she can get pregnant yet. She will only pay if she gets pregnant."

Ai Li was silent.

Erniu is a daughter, but she was also born after Ning Feng's pregnancy for ten months. The tone of discussion now is like discussing how much a sow that can give birth can be sold for.

Her request for Xiao Qiaoyi was to find someone who loved her, and the two of them could live a good life together and support each other.

If her parents asked for a dowry like this, wouldn’t it be the same as selling her?

How could such a girl hold her head up in her parents’ home?

She thought about it and looked at Zhang Xiaojuan again. She was submissive and was ordered around by Ning Feng while pregnant, and she was always scolded.

When it was almost time for dinner, Erniu came back, carrying a basket of peanuts, and her face was sunburned red.

She had good facial features and was as beautiful as a flower, but her skin was dark and her hands were covered with calluses.

“Aunt.” She smiled and called Ai Li.

"It's so hot, if you want to go to the fields, you have to wait until the sun goes down or go early. If you stay in the sun for too long, you will get heat stroke." Ai Li felt sorry for her. She was about the same age as Xiao Qiaoyi, but she was spoiled. Thinking of what happened before, she felt helpless and lowered her voice, "Wash your hands and eat."

Whether it was Zhang Xiaojuan or Erniu, only they could save themselves. Only if they worked hard to get rid of such a family, be more independent-minded, and think more about themselves, could they live a better life.
