Chapter 295： It’s a good life, but it’s not a solid life!

Chapter 295 A good life is not easy to live at ease!

Just like that, when it was almost the third watch, everyone dispersed.

The Li family did not sleep well that night. At dawn, Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si personally drove 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 twice, and promised in a low voice, "Fu Niu is at home, my brother will come back and bring you something good!"

Jiayin smiled with 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. 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. Seeing the Li family like this, they asked, "Auntie, there is something at home. Do you want to help?"

Mrs. Li waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's no big deal. I just couldn't stop myself. I took the boys out to see if I could find some business."

The villagers are envious, "Mr. Da is a very capable person and can do nothing wrong."

After saying that, he suddenly reacted and asked, "Oh, Mr. Da is gone. What will happen in the school? Who will teach the children?"

Li Laoer responded, "Mr. Eldest is gone, and I, the second Mr., are still here. From now on, I will teach the children to read in the morning and go to the valley in the afternoon. I won't delay either time."

The villager immediately brightened his eyes and laughed, "I was confused and forgot that Mr. Second had taught children before. Mr. Second gave my boy the name."

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 knows everything and cannot fool their children.

In the yard of Li's house, everyone was afraid that the old lady would be 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 get busy, what are you doing around me!"

When everyone saw that the old lady was staring and looking as energetic as before, 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 if the naughty boys play together, 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 gave up 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 and said, "Grandma is afraid. You have to earn money slowly so that your life will be stable. Grandma knows that the family is a blessing to you. Your father and uncles are also diligent and obedient, so they are where they are today. Lucky girl. , Grandma is worried even when she sleeps."

I was a little surprised when I heard the good news. The family had money, no worries about food and clothing, and a prosperous life. This should have been something that everyone looked 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, you are a lucky girl!"

"Silly girl, grandma is even more worried because of you. Your abilities with the gods are so powerful. What if one day we need you to repay the gods and our family can't provide it? So, your uncle is going out this time. No matter how reluctant I am, grandma will accept it.”

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 be hungry. Grandma is thinking that she should be able to repay some blessings."

Jiayin blinked her big eyes twice and confessed in a low voice, "Grandma, that... I also gave it to my adoptive father..."

She spoke vaguely, but the old lady understood it, and scolded her in an angry and funny manner.

“Little girl, you are a grandma, don’t you know? You don’t need to think about it, you know that good things come out of nowhere, no one else but you!”

Jiayin immediately smiled and twisted in her arms like a baby, "Grandma is the best."

The old lady helped her granddaughter sit up, picked up the needle and thread again, and changed her tone of voice.

“We’re just going to be at home at noon. Let’s make up for it with some noodles if we’re lazy. There’s still a lot of pickled cucumbers. Chop them up and stir-fry some meat sauce, okay?”

"Okay." Jiayin couldn't help but salivate when she thought about the noodles with the raw meat sauce and the meat sauce, 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 your family work?"

Dongmei waved her hand, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Old madam, that...our butler of the Marquis Mansion is here and said he has something to report to you."

“The 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 the eldest lady."

“You’re welcome, butler, sit down quickly.” The old lady poured a bowl of warm tea from the Kang table and brought it to him.

The butler drank it all in one gulp. Seeing that there was only one old man and one young boy in the room, he asked, "Is it open over there in the valley? Mr. Second is very busy?"

The old lady was so smart that she immediately said, "They have all gone to the valley, and we are the only two people at home now. If you have anything to do with the housekeeper, just ask me, 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. When our Marquis Mansion was still the Earl's Mansion, it was almost the last batch to move here from Kyoto. The Marquis was busy protecting the Emperor and the Queen Mother , I was the only one in the house who led the convoy and walked very slowly.

"Not far from the capital, there was a woman on the roadside. She was half dead. She was very pitiful. I felt pity for a moment, so I had someone rescue me and bring her here. Although the woman survived, she lost one leg. His face was also ruined. He used to wash clothes in the slave yard of our house to earn some wages. This morning, a slave came to report that the woman seemed to be dead and could only breathe a sigh of relief, but she must see her. Me. 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 half surprised and half confused.

The housekeeper immediately guessed that something was wrong. After all, the Li family had always acted thoughtfully and took good care of the people in the village. How could they let their daughter-in-law suffer outside? There must be something going on.

Sure enough, the old lady asked, "We do have a daughter-in-law named Wu Cuihua in our family, who accidentally got lost. Did she tell us what happened in our family? Can she be right?"

The first housekeeper nodded quickly, "She told the second gentleman's name, the eldest lady's nickname, and Master Jiaren, Master Jiayi..."

The old lady sighed, this must be Wu Cuihua.

No matter how many grievances there were before, now when people are about to die, they cannot but 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 finishing all this, Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si also came back, "Mom, what happened?"
