"Wifey, Daddy doesn't have any objections. I'm just asking about the Xia family's situation."

When she heard Liu San call her, she quickly packed up her things. Right after he put it down, the Liu San entered. Noticing her unsightly expression, he worriedly walked up to her.

"What's wrong?" "Where's the discomfort?"

Duan Xiaohe lowered her eyes, "I'm a little tired."

Liu San laid a blanket for her and gently carried her up. "You rest for a while, I'll call you after dinner."

She closed her eyes and pretended to be extremely sleepy. After Liu San closed the door, she opened her eyes.

Duan Xiaohe had already given up on her original identity, but right now, her heart was already in a mess.

The Little County Princess knew a noble woman, and the Little County Prince knew her. Qin Rui did not dare say that he knew her, but he had seen her before. As for Mo Jinyuan? He was the assistant minister's son. Even though he was raised in the outer mansion, he grew up in the capital. If Little County Princess and the Little County Prince knew about the woman in the painting, it was impossible that he had not seen her before!

Everyone looked at her face and asked if she had any relatives in the capital. They all looked at her face and said how could there be such a person, and only Mo Jinyuan did not say anything!

He was a smart person, it was impossible for him to not see through it. It was impossible for him to not know anything!

The more Duan Xiaohe thought about it, the more she felt that something was not right. The woman in the portrait was a jewel with a lot of hair ornaments on her head. She looked like a valuable object. She wondered about the temperament of this noble woman. Would it be too late for her to be betrothed to someone?

Then, he thought about it. He didn't even want her at the beginning, and now that she wanted to marry him, he probably wouldn't either.

Duan Xiaohe was slightly agitated as she threw the Chai Zi over to the pillow. If it wasn't for this painting, she could pretend that she didn't know anything, but now that she saw this person, her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.

What exactly did Qin Rui mean by leaving this painting to his?

Feeling weak and depressed, she decided to just leave the house. Liu San was cutting firewood outside, and when he saw her coming out, he immediately brought a bowl over. Aren't you tired? Why aren't you lying down? "Wait a moment, I'll cook when I start a fire."

"hubby." She held Liu San's hand and felt a little better after feeling the warmth from his man's hand. "Stop it, just stay with me."

Liu San laughed involuntarily, "What's wrong?"

Duan Xiaohe looked around to see that there was no one around, then leaned into his embrace. I miss you. I want to hug you. hubby, hug me too. "

Liu San reached out his hands and wrapped them around her, his chin striking the top of her head. He smelled a faint and familiar fragrance off her body and felt very comfortable. What happened today? You can't bear to part with your little sister? Won't we be going in two days? When the time comes, we'll bring your little sister here for two days. "

Duan Xiaohe didn't say a word, and obediently let him carry her. After a long while, when she heard the voices of the Old Man Liu and Liu Da talking outside the gate, she asked the Liu San to let her go.

"I'll go cook."

Just as he was speaking, the Old Man Liu came over and called out to Duan Xiaohe, "Ol 'Three's wife, go cook a meal for us, let us eat and talk."

The two of them looked at each other with doubt. Liu San looked at Old Man Liu and asked him why he suddenly thought of inviting them to dinner.

Old Man Liu sniffed, saying that no matter what kind of family it was, they would treat them to a meal together, it just so happened to be related to Liu Da's marriage. Widow Li couldn't cook anymore so he asked Duan Xiaohe to go over and cook first.

Liu San was a little displeased. Other wives can even cook at home on the day they give birth to their children. Why is she, Li Yunxiang, so delicate? "

"Old Man Liu waved his hand, gesturing for him to be quiet. Your second brother only has his first child at such a young age, so it's likely that he will be born this month.

Duan Xiaohe tugged on Liu San's clothes, and gently shook his head. "Let's go over later."

Old Man Liu was rather satisfied with the reply, as he walked away with his hands behind his back, humming a song. Liu San's face was cold, "We just came back from the county and he already has this plan, isn't he already targeting the things we bought? The first time is the second. Am I that easy to take advantage of? "No, I don't marry a wife to make food for others."

"Didn't you hear what your dad said? Your second brother's Lil 'Tiantian is about to be born, so you can say anything you want after it is over." Also, I want to hear what the other side has to say about big brother's matter. It would be best to make things clear now, in case there's going to be more trouble. "

Since she said that, Liu San did not say anymore. Duan Xiaohe went to the kitchen to rummage through some dry goods, then brought along three eggs for Widow Li. Before leaving, Liu San pulled her and said, "If Li Yunxiang wants to bully you later, you can bully her. I'll bear the consequences of the sky falling. "You are my wife, do you understand that you want to give me face?"

Duan Xiaohe laughed, "Do you think I will lose out?"

Liu San pinched her little face, "Who knows."

Liu Da had long since gone to the neighboring rooms, and seeing them enter, he waved excitedly. Liu Er stood beside the Widow Li like Li Lien-ying in front of Tzu Hsi. Old Man Liu looked at the dry goods in Liu San's hands and the eggs in Duan Xiaohe's hands with satisfaction.

"Third Bro's wife, go cook." Then, he pointed at Liu Er and said to Liu San, "Come here, you two. Let's talk about your big brother."

Liu San frowned, when he saw this Old Man Liu, he immediately scrunched his face, questioning whether Liu San was unwilling to part with his in-laws, or if the couple came over intentionally to show him off.

Duan Xiaohe pulled Liu San who was about to speak, and mentioned the thing in his hand that she was going to cook in the kitchen, so they could have a good talk. Liu San's expression was still a little ugly, but Old Man Liu was extremely satisfied with Duan Xiaohe's appearance. This was what Old Man Liu thought a wife should look like.

Actually, she was only thinking about that noblewoman in the portrait and was not in the mood to care about these things. She had already made up her mind. Once the meal was done, she would return home with the painting to find her father.

"Sister-in-law, cook two poached eggs for me in a bit, put more oil and less salt, I just want to have a bite to eat right now." I saw that you also picked up some dried mushrooms. It would be good to chop them up and steam an egg. Or make an egg and put it in a white noodle... Right, you still have a white face, right? You go get two bowls. "

Widow Li rummaged through the pile of things, "Why did you not bring any meat over?"

Duan Xiaohe picked up a piece of firewood from the ground and stuffed it into the furnace, then said coldly: "White Noodle Soup Dumplings, the meat has just been marinated last night, so it's the most delicious and not expensive to eat. I'll pay you eight cents. "Bring it here."

Widow Li stared at the hand that she stretched out, and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Don't think that you can order others around just because you have a child in your stomach. If you were my second sister-in-law, I would bring the stuff over for you without saying a word." Duan Xiaohe retracted her hand, and gave her a cold glance. "It's a pity that you're not."

Widow Li was instantly enraged, "What did you say? You chicken who can't lay an egg, how dare you laugh at me? "

Duan Xiaohe stood up, holding onto the half piece of firewood. Your Widow Li is already a joke in this Liu Village, do you need me to laugh at you? You want to eat white noodles, you want to eat meat? Go to the courtyard and wait for the sky to fall! "

Widow Li clenched her teeth, "Duan Xiaohe, just you wait."

Just as she finished speaking, she covered his stomach, just as she was about to scream in pain, Liu San suddenly raised her voice.

"No!" I don't agree to that. "

Duan Xiaohe was startled, she threw the firewood in her hand and stood at the entrance of the kitchen to listen to their conversation.

"Then what can we do now? Don't tell me you don't care about this little one in order to arrange your big brother's marriage? " Old Man Liu said this excitedly, and the hand he used to point at Widow Li's stomach was shaking.

Liu San snorted: "This child belongs to second brother, why should I raise him? All I have with me is enough money to arrange a marriage for big brother, I don't have much. "

"How can you say that you are the one raising it? You just want me to lend your second brother some money, then when the child comes out, we can set up the Hundred Day Banquet first. Which family in the village doesn't have a hundred days of children? Your second brother only has such a child at such an age, can't you put on a good act? "

Old Man Liu said as a matter of fact, "That piece of land in our house is only enough for our own family to eat, where can we sell it? After the new year, he would have to pay taxes and a sum of money. It's not like your second brother was as good as your family. Now that Yun Xiang is about to be born, the child will have to grow three inches on the ground. "You can just say it, do you want to borrow it or not."

"Nope." Liu San stood up, and looked coldly at his father and second brother, "When did he repay me by lending this to second brother? Even if the child is 100 days old, it would still take three months. Isn't the date we agreed upon three months later? The money in my hands is the betrothal gift money for Big Brother to marry his wife. Big brother, are you going to marry a wife or not? It's fine if I don't take it, but you guys can pay me the betrothal gift from Big Bro. "

Old Man Liu became anxious the moment he heard that and stood up as well. We have the money and we have to lend it to you? Isn't your wife rich? Can't she pay for your big brother's betrothal gift? "

"On what basis does Big Brother want my wife to pay for the betrothal gift?" I asked for a wife just to support your family? "

"What do you mean our family?" Old Man Liu's face could be said to be extremely dark. Aren't you in our family? Isn't this your second brother? Isn't this your big brother? I'm not your father? Have you forgotten who paid for this wife of yours? It's you and me! "

"Yo, it's quite lively."

Everyone was startled, they looked towards where the voice came from, only to see Lady Zhang standing at the door, holding onto a food box and a bag in her other hand.

"Child's Hundred Heavens Banquet, how can I, the big boy, be empty-handed? How much money do I, Zhang Feng, need?!"
