When Aunt Li heard what she wanted to say, she finally bit her lip and swallowed it back.
Even if she couldn't bear to give up 300 Jin of pork, she knew it was too cheap.
As soon as Li Lian heard that her father and brother wanted to pay back Li Changting's money, she quickly stopped and said, "Dad, didn't you say you don't have to pay me? Brother Changting bought all these for my engagement party
"Shut up!" Uncle Li glared at her and led Li Jing out of the door.
Li Lian was scolded by her father and looked at Aunt Li for help: "Niang..."
Li Lian couldn't say a word. She was surprised to find that her mother looked at her with reproach, anger and even resentment in her eyes.
Li Lian was surprised and opened her mouth.
She didn't understand.
Even if his father guessed that she and his mother were going to trouble Li Changting to hunt, Li Changting had to send 300 Jin of pork. But this is just a small matter. Is it worth his father and grandfather being so angry? Even my mother began to blame her. She really didn't understand!
Did Xu Qing come to complain? Think about 300 Jin pork cost a lot of money, Xu Qing must be very painful!
Thinking of this, Li Lian looked anxiously at Aunt Li: "mother, did your grandfather scold you? Do they know we went to brother Changting? We've done something wrong with it, but you think, if someone didn't chew his tongue behind his back and tell his father and grandfather about it, how could he be scolded? "
Auntie Li looked at her daughter and felt very angry. In her eyes, naturally, her son is more important than her daughter. After all, her daughter is married to someone else's family, and only her son can support her.
Now that it's over, I'm still worrying about who's chewing my tongue. What's the point of it?!
Aunt Li opened her mouth, and she was about to blurt out her words of scolding her daughter. However, thinking of the words that her father-in-law had just warned her, she swallowed back her anger.
She thought that she had to find a family for her daughter right away. No one in the village could look up to Li Lian, so she would marry to another village.
When Li Lian saw that her mother looked at her coldly and did not speak, she became more and more uneasy.
Li Shu and Li Jing didn't walk very fast. Not long after they left home, Li Shu looked back and finally sighed with disappointment.
He thought Aunt Li would catch up with them and go to Changting's house with them to apologize. Unexpectedly, she still had a grudge in her heart and couldn't wipe it off. She didn't dare to bear the things she caused, which disappointed him so much.
"Dad." Li Jing patted dad's hand comfortingly.
"I know what you mean." Uncle Li took a look at his son and sighed, "I shouldn't ask too much for her to be a woman, but if you want to think about it, if I become the patriarch, she is the patriarch's wife. Her character is not worthy of the title of patriarch's wife. You can't find a daughter-in-law like your mother in the future, you know? "
Li Jing did not nod or speak.
When Li Shu and Li Jing came to Li Changting's house, Li Changting and Xu Qing were fumigating and disinfecting the new house.
The new house has been built, but people can't get in immediately.
Today, they took the time to clean up the room, to taste, and by the way, to smoke the anti insect and bactericidal herbs. If they don't smoke, it would be bad if a snake came in at night.
Li Changting didn't want to take the money from Uncle Li. He bought the things voluntarily, and no one forced him. But Uncle Li was full of guilt, apologies and remorse, which made him feel bad if he didn't take them.
Xu Qing advised Li Shuzheng and Li Jing to stay for dinner, but Li Shuzheng wanted to have a chat with Li Changting, so he decided to leave.
Uncle Li is worried that Li Changting will give birth to them because of this. He wants to explain to him. He doesn't want to ask Li Changting how to repay them. He just doesn't want to have a quarrel between relatives because of this.
At dinner, Li Shu and Li Jing tasted Xu Qing's craftsmanship for the first time, which was amazing.
"A few home cooked dishes are nothing." Xu Qing said with a smile, "if uncle and Li Jing had come to eat our wine two days ago, they would have had better food."
Uncle li felt ashamed when he heard the speech. He held up his glass and said to Li Changting and Xu Qing, "I'm sorry for you."
Li Changting pressed down his hand holding the wine cup: "it's all small things. We didn't pay attention to them. What's more, at that time, Li Lian's marriage was more important. Qing'er just said it casually. It didn't mean anything else."
Xu Qing nodded and said with a smile, "it's casual. Don't worry about uncle."
This meal was a bit awkward. Li Changting and Xu Qing can't really say they don't mind at all. But an elder apologizes to them frequently. What else can they do? They have to choose to forgive.
After Li Shu and Li Jing left, Xu Qing looked at the silver on the table and said unexpectedly, "I thought we were doomed. I didn't expect that they would send money. Li Lian's marriage didn't work out. They should be very upset. They can still think of us."
Li Changting said: "Uncle Li is good. Li Jing is more intelligent than his father, but he is not a bad man."
Xu Qing goes to collect the silver. She suddenly thinks that Li Lian's marriage has not been successful, which has ruined her reputation. Li's family has lost 300 Jin of pork money in vain. It's really sad that she has lost her wife and turned into soldiers.However, if Li Lian didn't covet the money of the Cao family, she wouldn't have so many things to do.
After the new house was ready for people to live in, Cao Laoliu gave Li Changting a few pieces of furniture.
The location of the new house is on the left side of the main house, and the kitchen is opposite. The three rooms look like a courtyard without walls.
Li Changting picked up his and Li Tinghui's belongings and moved them. Because it was said that the house was built for children, the Kang was not as big as the main house, but it was enough to sleep for an adult and a child.
After Li Changting and his son moved out, Xu Qing slept alone in a room for the first time. It was empty beside him. He was really not used to it. After all, he was used to playing cards and chatting together before going to bed.
But after the two men moved out, she also had more private space. She closed the door at night and could enter the space whenever she wanted.
During the day, Li Jinmei asked Li Tinghui whether she had a good sleep in the new house these two days, and whether she was afraid.
Li Tinghui shook his head: "Dad, we are not afraid."
Li Jinmei is stunned: "does your father sleep with you?"
Li Tinghui nodded.
Xu Qing, who happened to hear him, quickly explained: "brother Li is worried about hui'er. He is not used to sleeping alone, so he plans to accompany him for a period of time to let him get used to it."
Li Jinmei clearly said: "so it is." She touched Li Tinghui's head and said with a smile, "xiaomeizi is sleeping alone now. Hui'er will not be afraid soon."
Xu Qing was relieved and said with a smile, "xiaomeizi is quite brave."
But don't think it's over.
Half a month later, Li Jinmei's family finished their dinner here and helped Xu clean the dishes and chopsticks. When they saw that her younger brother was still sleeping in the same room with hui'er, they were a little unhappy.
