Chapter 15： Country bumpkins come to town

Chapter 15 The bumpkin enters the city

“Madam is willing to take us in because she thinks highly of our Li family. But Madam doesn’t know something. My eldest son has already passed the exam and is a scholar. Now he is studying abroad, and we are also going to join him. We will live up to Madam’s kindness.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun also felt that she had taken it for granted.

Boss Li is a scholar, and the Li family is a scholarly family. How can she be a slave? This is simply humiliating.

She quickly asked the maid to take twenty taels of silver and give it to Mrs. Li. She also wrote down the address of the Sun family.

He warned that if the Li family is in trouble, they can go there and seek refuge.

Mrs. Li couldn't refuse, so she had to accept. She was extremely grateful to Mrs. Sun.

Remembering that the Sun family would have to sail for another seven or eight days, they left the dairy goat behind.

Mrs. Sun was very happy because although the wet nurse had recovered somewhat, the milk was still not enough for the child.

Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter and walked out. She felt guilty for giving away her food rations.

But when he looked down at his granddaughter, she was scratching her little hands, as if saying goodbye to Miss Sun.

She couldn't help laughing again, lowered her head and kissed her granddaughter.

“My Fu Niu’er is such a good child. Grandma, I will love you for the rest of my life! No, the entire Li family will love you! Without you, the family would not be so stable!”

Jiayin nestled in her grandma's arms, babbling twice, and finally took a look at the little beauty from the Sun family.

Little guy, see you again by fate!

The Li family took advantage of this moment to say goodbye to Manager Wang and the familiar maids, wives and servants.

Soon, the big ship docked at the pier, and the Li family got off the ship one after another.

After walking far away, the Li family, who had been silent, finally came to their senses.

“Are we really in Kyoto?”

“Is this Kyoto? Fortunately we can take a boat, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to reach it even if we walk for a month.”

“We are stepping on the ground, why do we still feel swaying?”

Li Laoer had the best idea, so he walked close to my mother and asked, "Mom, this is still two to three hundred miles away from my uncle's home. Should we find a carriage or caravan to accompany us on the journey?"

Jiayin was looking around with her big eyes open at the moment. She had never seen the bustling streets of ancient times since she traveled through time, and she was really curious.

falling into the eyes of Mrs. Li, she hurriedly said.

“Even if we hire a car or find a caravan to accompany us, we can’t set off immediately. We’d better find a place to stay first and let our lucky girl watch the excitement.”

Li Laoer was also amused by the curious look on his little niece's face. The child, who was just one month old, was fair, fat, clean, and had a rich expression. He looked very happy no matter how he looked at it.

He raised his hand and touched his little niece's face, imitating the behavior of his nephews.

“I’m also blessed with Fu Niu’er’s fortune, and I’m going to find a good place to live.”

The Li family walked all the way and soon left the pier and arrived at a nearby shopping street.

This place is less crowded and more prosperous than the dock.

Everyone was walking on the long street paved with bluestones, lined with rows of shops on both sides.

The structure is made of blue bricks and wood carvings, with white walls and black tiles. The windows and door lintels are also engraved with exquisite patterns.

There are countless small stalls at the entrance of the store, with a wide range of things on display and all kinds of eating utensils.

The faces of the Li family were full of exclamation, and the few young men couldn't help but be excited, looking around and around.

If it weren't for their parents dragging them away, they would have gone somewhere long ago.

Jiayin also tried her best to support her neck and twisted her little head to look around. Her eyes were full of antiques, which made her constantly admire the wisdom of the working people.

"Yeah..." Jiayin became more and more happy as she read it, and accidentally pulled her grandma's hair. Mrs. Li directly put the swaddling clothes up and held the back of her granddaughter's head with one hand.

Jiayin was finally able to see the world from a normal perspective, was in a better mood, and even laughed out loud.

“Look how happy our lucky girl is!” Old Mrs. Li was not tired and held her granddaughter on her shoulders.

Tao Hongying also laughed, and just as she was about to speak, Wu Cuihua suddenly started shouting.

“Lao Er, Lao Er! Have you seen Er Gouzi? He was by my side just now, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Help me find him!”

Li Laoer didn't like Wu Ergou at all, so he didn't worry when he heard that he was missing.

“He is a big living person, how can he be lost? He must be wandering around, just find him.”

Wu Cuihua was worried. Seeing that Li Laoer didn't want to help her find it, she simply sat on the ground and cried.

“I don’t want to live anymore. My only brother is lost and you don’t even help me. You are too cruel!”

When she acted like this, all the eyes of passers-by were focused on her, which made the Li family very embarrassed.

Li Laoer hurriedly pulled Wu Cuihua up from the ground. Wu Cuihua did not dare to make a fuss too ugly, so she looked at Mrs. Li with sobs.

Old Mrs. Li's face was so cold that she regretted sticking to Wu Ergou's candy.

But it was impossible to ignore it at the moment, so I could only tell my sons, "Go and look around, be careful, don't get into trouble."

Li Laoer gave Wu Cuihua a hard scare and gritted his teeth with hatred, but in the end he persuaded his brothers and went out.

Li Jiaren also disliked his mother and uncle, but he couldn't say anything. He found a shade tree on the roadside and persuaded his grandma, "Grandma, hold Fu Niu'er and sit for a while."

Jiayin liked the stability of this elder brother, so she smiled at him and waved her hand as if to cheer him up.

With a top-notch old lady on the table, this brother may be in trouble in the future...

Li Jiaren didn't know if he understood his sister's kindness. He smiled and squeezed her little hand, and finally stood behind his grandma to block the harsh sun.

After half an hour, everyone was a little worried, and Li Laosi finally came back holding Wu Ergou by his collar with a gloomy look on his face.

Wu Er looked very angry, but he was also afraid of Li Laosi's fist, so he could only shrink his head and pretend to be pitiful.

Needless to say, everyone guessed that he had done nothing good.

“Fourth brother, don’t hold him like that, it hurts your neck!”

Wu Cuihua followed eagerly, reaching out to save her brother from Li Laosi's hands, but Li Laosi gave him a cold look and became a little scared.

Li Laosi threw Wu Ergou to the ground and said.

“My second brother and I captured him from the gambling den. I don’t know where this kid got the courage to gamble!

If we go a little later, he will have to borrow money from the casino! He has nothing in his hands. As long as he loses, our family will have to wipe his ass! "

The more Li Laosi thought about it, the angrier he became, and he kicked Wu Ergou again.

Their family was kind-hearted and took him in to escape from the Northland together. This kid is not grateful at all, and he has no brains to trick people!

When Mrs. Li heard this, she looked at Wu Er with disgust.

“Wu Ergou, do you think that because your sister married into our family, our family deserves to protect you from disaster? I thought you were pitiful before and couldn’t bear your death. Now that you’ve arrived in Kyoto, get out of here as our family won’t keep you!”

Wu Ergou didn't have any money on him and was afraid he would starve to death if he left the Li family. He hurriedly crawled to Mrs. Li's feet.

"Mom, I was wrong. I just felt a little itchy when I saw the casino. I don't dare to do it anymore. Please don't leave me!"
