Chapter 50 - 50 48 Getting Angry

?Chapter 50: Chapter 48: Getting Angry Chapter 50: Chapter 48: Getting Angry After a hasty dinner, having sent off the married eldest daughter and her family, the key figures of the Li Family finally settled back on the old couple’s bed-stove.

Li Hongjun sat on the stool with a dark expression, waiting for someone to explain what exactly was going on.

Li Wangcai sat cross-legged on the bed-stove, holding a tobacco pipe with a serious look on his face. He really didn’t know about this matter.

Next to him, Qiu Shuping looked at her eldest daughter-in-law, hoping she would speak up. But Shuping certainly wasn’t foolish; those grains weren’t consumed by her alone, the idea wasn’t hers, nor did she carry the grains back home. Why would she offend her second uncle in such a case? So she pretended not to notice her mother-in-law’s eager eyes, touched her slightly protruding belly, bowed her head, and acted as if nothing was amiss.

And the specific executor, big brother Li Hongxing of the Li Family, hung his head low on the side, not daring to meet his brother’s eyes.

“Let’s talk about it, what exactly happened?” Li Wangcai knocked on the edge of the bed-stove and said in an even tone.

But everyone in the family knew this was a sign that Li Wangcai was about to lose his temper; the calmer he spoke, the angrier he was.

Qiu Shuping looked at her cunning eldest daughter-in-law, then at her useless eldest son, lowered her head and pursed her lips, realizing she couldn’t count on either when it truly mattered.

“Nothing much really. You know, in the autumn when you weren’t feeling well, I was thinking you like eating rice a lot, and our village doesn’t distribute much of it. So I had Hongxing go to the Shen Family in Gaijiatun to check it out. Who would’ve thought, Shen Yunfang really was filled with filial piety; the moment she heard you wanted to eat it, she let Hongxing take back a sack, saying she wouldn’t be coming home for the New Year, and that the rice could serve as filial respect for us.” Of course, Qiu Shuping couldn’t tell the whole truth, so she chose to put a positive spin on it.
