Just like that, almost at midnight, everyone dispersed.
The Li family didn't sleep well that night. At dawn, Li Laoer and Li Laosi personally drove the car to take their eldest brother and Jiayi Liu Yang into the city.
Jiayin yawned, quietly pulled Jiayi's sleeve, and then gave him a bag of silver.
Jiayi was stunned for a moment, then he picked up his sister, kissed her hard twice, and promised in a low voice, "Fu Niu is at home, my brother will come back and bring you something good!"
Jiayin smiled, bared her little white teeth, and patted her brother on the shoulder. , "Second brother, I want sparkling gems!"
"Okay, brother will buy you gems!" Jiayi didn't care whether the money was enough, but he agreed happily.
Soon, the carriage set off, and the Li family stood at the entrance of the village and watched for a long time before going back.
Some villagers got up early and went out for a walk. When they saw the Li family like this, they asked, "Auntie, there's something going on at home. Do you want help?"
Mrs. Li waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal. I just can't help but take care of myself." The boy at home is going out to see if he can find some business."
The villagers were envious and said, "Mr. Da is a very capable man and can do nothing wrong."
After saying that, he suddenly realized and asked, "Oh "Mr. Big is gone, what will happen in the school? Who will teach the children?"
Li Laoer replied, "Mr. Big is gone, and I am the second teacher. From now on, I will teach the children to read in the morning and go to the valley in the afternoon. , don't waste any time." The villager immediately brightened his eyes and laughed
, "I was confused and forgot that Mr. Er had taught the children before. My boy's name was given by Mr. Er."
After a few idle words, everyone dispersed.
After a while, everyone in the village knew that there was a new teacher in the school, and no one felt bad about it.
The Li family knew this well and could not fool their children.
In the courtyard of Li's house, everyone was afraid that the old lady would feel sad, so they stayed at home with her all day.
On the contrary, the old lady was annoyed and started to chase people away, "You all hurry up and do your work, what are you doing around me!"
When everyone saw the old lady staring at her eyes, she was as energetic as before, so they felt relieved and went about their business with a smile.
Brother Cat was a little tired, so Li Laoer carried him to the valley.
There are many people there, and the naughty boys are playing together, and Brother Cat will definitely get better.
The old lady was sitting on the kang doing needlework. Either the needle tip pricked her finger or the cotton thread got knotted.
She simply threw away her work, rubbed her granddaughter's hair, and sighed.
"Nothing in this world is good for no reason. Our family has suffered a lot in the past two years, but life is on fire, getting more and more prosperous. If nothing else, when I first came out to escape the famine, I didn't even have twenty taels of silver. Now there are more than 20,000 taels in the book!"
The old lady patted her chest, "Grandma is afraid. You have to earn money slowly to live a stable life. Grandma knows that the family is a blessing to you, and so are your father and uncles. You are what you are now because you are diligent and obedient. But Fu Niu, grandma is worried about it even when she sleeps."
Hearing the good news, she was a little surprised. The family has money, no worries about food and clothing, and a prosperous life. This should be what everyone is looking forward to. , but unexpectedly it became a psychological burden for the old lady.
She hurried forward and hugged the old lady, "Grandma is not afraid, lucky girl!"
"Silly girl, grandma is even more worried because of you. Your abilities with the gods are so great, just in case you need to repay the gods one day. , Our family can't get it, what should we do? So, your uncle is going out this time, and grandma has to accept it no matter how reluctant she is."
The old lady hugged her granddaughter tightly and kissed her soft little hair.
"Your uncle is right. If this thing is done, it will be a great merit! The people in Tianwu will no longer go hungry. Grandma is thinking that she should be able to pay back some blessings."
Jiayin blinked his big eyes twice and whispered. Frankly, "Grandma, that... I also gave it to my adoptive father..."
She said vaguely, but the old lady understood it, and scolded her in a funny and angry way.
"Little girl, don't you know that you are a grandma? You don't even need to think about it. There is no one else but you for the good things that suddenly appear!"
Jiayin immediately smiled and twisted in grandma's arms like a baby, "Grandma is the best Okay."
The old lady helped her granddaughter sit down, picked up the needle and thread again, and changed her tone of voice.
"We'll just be at home at noon. Let's be lazy and make up for it with some noodles. There's still a lot of pickled cucumbers. Chop them up and stir-fry some meat sauce, okay?"
"Okay." Jiayin thought about Bai Shengsheng's noodles. , I couldn't help but sip when I poured the meat sauce on it, which made the old lady laugh.
At this moment, Dongmei suddenly came in from outside. Old Mrs. Li pulled her to sit down and asked, "Are you done with all the work at home?"
Dongmei waved her hands, hesitated, and said, "Old madam, um...we The chief housekeeper of the Hou Mansion is here, saying he has something to report to you."
"The chief housekeeper is here?" The old lady was surprised, but she still asked Dongmei to invite someone quickly.
Soon, the butler came in, smiling as kindly as ever, "Greetings to the old lady and young lady."
"You're welcome, butler, please sit down quickly." The old lady poured a bowl of warm tea from the Kang table and brought it to him.
The first housekeeper drank it all in one gulp, and seeing that there were only the old and the young in the room, he asked, "Is the valley open? Mr. Second is very busy?"
The old lady was so smart that she immediately said, "They are all going. We are in the valley, and we are the only two people in the house now. If the chief steward has something to do, just ask him, I can still make the decision in this family."
The chief steward sneered, thought for a while and said, "Old madam, there is such a thing. Back then our Hou Mansion When it was still the Earl's Mansion, it was almost the last batch of people who moved here from Kyoto. The Marquis was busy protecting the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and I was the only one working in the mansion. I led the convoy and walked very slowly.
"It's not far from the capital . , there is a woman on the roadside, half dead, very pitiful. I felt compassion for him for a moment, so he was rescued and brought here. Although the woman survived, she lost one leg and her face was ruined. She usually worked in the slave yard of our house, washing clothes and earning some wages. This morning, a servant came to report that the woman seemed to be in trouble and was just hanging on for a breath, but she must see me if she was making trouble. I went to check it out, and she said her name was... Wu Cuihua, and she was the daughter-in-law of our Li family.
"Who are you talking about? " "The old lady's expression immediately changed. She was 30% surprised and 70% complicated.
The big housekeeper immediately guessed that something was wrong. After all, the Li family has always been considerate and took good care of the people in the village. How could they let their daughter-in-law suffer outside? There must be something wrong with it. Something happened.
Sure enough, the old lady asked, "Our family does have a daughter-in-law named Wu Cuihua, who accidentally got lost that year. What she said about our family can be justified? "
The first housekeeper nodded quickly, "She told the second gentleman's name, as well as the eldest lady's nickname, as well as Young Master Jiaren, Young Master Jiayi..."
The old lady sighed longly, this must be Wu Cuihua.
More from before Grudges, now that people are about to die, they have to meet each other.
She quickly asked Dongmei to go to the valley to find the second and fourth children, and then found the coats and skirts for herself and Jiayin to go out.
After sorting these, Li Laoer and Li Lao Siye came back, "Mom, what happened? "
