"Grandma!"
"Mother!"
Seeing that the old lady was in trouble, everyone rushed over and helped the old lady sit firmly.
Jiaxi and Jiaan both forgot to put their sister down, so Jiayin pulled their hair to keep their balance, and they grimaced in pain.
After finally receiving the good news, her feet touched the ground. She quickly stepped forward and hugged grandma's thigh, shouting over and over again, "Grandma don't cry, grandma don't cry."
The old lady didn't know when tears ran down her face, and she hugged her subconsciously. He picked up his granddaughter, wiped his face, and looked at the door.
At this moment, Li Laoer had already led the woman in. The woman was half-bent, looking at the yard with chattering eyes, which made people look a little unhappy.
But the Li family couldn't care less. Li Laosi asked, "Why are you looking for Li Zhensheng? That's our eldest brother. How many years have he left home? When did you see him? What do you want to do with him?"
Mr. Li He turned around and wanted to see off Mr. Liu and others, but Mr. Liu, seeing the Li family acting like this, already knew it was a private matter, so he waved his hand and left.
The woman probably relaxed a little when she saw that she and the Li family were alone, so she stood under the oil lamp and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't you recognize me? I am a Miao from the village next to you. The eldest daughter-in-law of the family!"
The eldest daughter-in-law of Miao?
Everyone was a little confused after hearing this, but Mrs. Li thought about it, "Oh, it's you. I remember you went out to work many years ago and never returned to your hometown."
Mr. Miao and his daughter-in-law knew each other well and followed the words . He sat down next to the old lady.
"Yes, sister-in-law, I didn't expect us to meet here. I heard something happened over there in my hometown, and the barbarians robbed them badly. I wonder if everyone has escaped? What about everyone in our village? How?"
Mrs. Li was anxious and wanted to know the news about her eldest son, but she responded patiently, "At first, we all fled south in a hurry, how could we care about others. But I haven't heard of anyone's family being attacked by barbarians. Kill him, he should have come out early and not been caught up by the barbarians."
"That's good," Mr. Miao's wife clapped her hands happily, her eyes couldn't help but glance at the Li family's yard and house, her expression full of envy. . "Sister-in -
law, your family is very prosperous, and this courtyard is really grand. I heard that all the hot springs in the valley belong to your family? How lucky you are. It is simply a cornucopia. In the future, I can count on my sister-in-law to take care of it."
Then, when she saw Jiayin was white, plump and cute, she wanted to reach out and pinch Jiayin's face, but Jiayin dodged her.
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru came out of the kitchen. Seeing this, Tao Hongying quickly picked up her daughter and said with a smile, "This child recognizes the birth."
Old Mrs. Li couldn't help but asked, "Old girl, you just came to my house to find me. Boss, what's the reason?"
Boss Miao's daughter-in-law waved her hands and was about to speak when she suddenly held her stomach and her expression was a bit embarrassed and painful.
"Well, sister-in-law, I walked more than ten miles to get here. I haven't eaten yet and my stomach hurts from hunger."
Mrs. Li took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in her heart, and told her daughter-in-law, "Is there anything ready-made? Bring some first."
Mr. Miao's daughter-in-law immediately laughed and shouted, "It's best to have a bowl of noodles with more meat and two poached eggs. I heard that your fourth daughter-in-law is the best at cooking. You have to have a good taste."
No one responded, even the stupidest people could understand now.
It's not certain whether this Miao boss's wife knows anything, but she's definitely here to take advantage.
Sure enough, she refused to reveal a word about Boss Li. She kept gossiping and her eyes were glued to the kitchen.
Old Mrs. Li was holding back her anger, and at the same time she wanted to drive someone away, but at the same time she was looking forward to the news that she really had an eldest son.
The eldest son, who was admitted as a scholar, went out to study and never came home again.
Some people said that he was in danger and died outside.
Some people also say that he met the daughter of a wealthy family and became his son-in-law. He disliked the poverty of the family and would never come back.
It was said that he had a nose and eyes, but it was false, and gradually everyone took him seriously.
The Li family was once ridiculed by people from all over the country, otherwise Li Laoer would not have married a daughter-in-law like Wu Cuihua at that time.
Later, after several years, this matter was gradually no longer mentioned, but it was also difficult for Li Laosan and Li Laosi to discuss marriage.
Li Laosan was still diligent and kind, so he was favored by the carpenter and betrothed to the daughter of the family.
And Li Laosi was just lucky enough to meet the daughter of an old scholar.
It can be said that the Li family was deceived by Boss Li. How much they loved their eldest son before, but how much they hated him later!
This is why no one in the Li family dares to mention it, and children like Jia An and Jia Xi don't even know their uncle's name.
Jiayin is smart, and he has guessed a lot in the past two years, but he didn't expect that this uncle would suddenly get news when they had just settled down and their life was getting better.
Boss Miao's wife was so rude that she ate two bowls of noodles in one go. , four poached eggs, then I rubbed my belly and put down the dishes.
Maybe she saw that the Li family members looked bad, so she smiled a little guiltily, but she didn't know what she thought of, and her back straightened again.
"My fourth daughter-in-law is really good at cooking, but these noodles are more delicious when cooked with bone broth."
Mrs. Li was impatient to listen to her tricks anymore and asked straight to the point, "You can tell me now, where did you meet our boss?" Are you ready?"
Mr. Miao's wife took a needle from the sewing basket, picked her teeth, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, what are you in a hurry for?"
"We only met a few times back then, and we didn't have any friendship at all." Mrs. Li pointed to the door, she was really annoyed, "If you don't say anything, get out!"
Mr. Miao's wife was a little scared, she quickly put down her crossed legs and said with a dry smile, "Why are you so angry, sister-in-law? " , can't we discuss it slowly? You see, I made a special trip and walked so far. Shouldn't I take a break and not waste my time in vain?"
Li Laoer sneered, "What do you mean? What are the benefits?"
Mr. Miao's wife nodded, "Of course, after all, I work hard, and I travel a lot for your family."
Before she could finish, Jiaxi suddenly shouted, "Oh, I remembered, She is the one who scolded the leftovers today!"
Mr. Miao's wife changed her expression and stepped back uncomfortably, but did not wait for her to defend herself.
Jiaxi has already talked to grandma, "Today, a guest said that the tea given by Gou Sheng was too hot and scolded Gou Sheng. I saw it from the side. This person is the slave brought by the guest. He asked for Ding at noon. The set meal we've been waiting for!"
Li Laoer patted his nephew on the back and asked, "Can I ask the guest's name and where he lives?"
"Yes," Jiaxi puffed out his chest proudly, "Where does he live? A guest in the small courtyard had talked to that person and seemed familiar with him. Although the abusive guest has left, he can find out if he inquires."
"That's it, that will be much more convenient." Li Lao Er looked at Miao Lao's wife Son, he smiled and said, "So you haven't returned to your hometown for so many years and you have joined a wealthy family as a slave!"
Miao's wife seemed to have been stripped of her coat and stood naked in front of others, embarrassed and ashamed!
