Chapter 477: Being bullied to the doorstep!
She was only halfway through speaking when Aunt Wu, Huiniang and Sister-in-law Liu hugged the child and returned with some food.
She stopped talking and said, "When it gets quiet tomorrow, I'll talk to my aunt in detail."
Mrs. Li nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk tomorrow. In short, since we are all back, you can eat, sleep and take care of yourself. Everything else is a trivial matter!"
They just came back today and there are people coming and going at home, so it is not a good time to talk about this matter.
Aunt Wu, Huiniang and Sister-in-law Liu entered the house and saw Mrs. Cui's eyes were a little red. They guessed that something was wrong, but they were smart enough not to ask.
Huiniang and Sister-in-law Liu took out the needles and threads they had made before and handed them to Mrs. Cui one after another.
They are both good at needlework, especially Huiniang. If she can be Jiayin's master, her craftsmanship is definitely first-class.
Mrs. Cui touched her embroidered shoes, looked at her soft middle coat, and smiled.
It feels good to be rewarded for your efforts and to have someone care about everything.
At this time, Dongmei also walked in from the outside holding Jiayin's hand and said: "Old lady, Zhuangzi sent some food last night. I originally wanted to send it to Luo'an. Now that you are back, There’s no need to bother.”
Mrs. Li glanced at her smiling granddaughter, wondering if there was anything else she didn't understand.
It must be this little girl who used Zhuangzi's name to add something to the banquet in the evening.
Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter, kissed her, and told Tao Hongying, "We have everything. The rest depends on your craftsmanship. Make something delicious for everyone tonight!"
“Don’t worry, mom, I’ll be ready right now!” Tao Hongying rolled up her sleeves and smiled happily.
It’s hard for a clever woman to make a living without rice. She has all the chickens, fish, meat and eggs, so what else can she do? !
What's more, this is a reunion banquet and a celebration banquet. Other people want to have a banquet, but they haven't had the chance yet!
Huiniang and Sister-in-law Liu put the child on the kang, and then chased Tao Yuru to work in the kitchen.
Aunt Wu, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Cui were sitting on the kang, looking after the children and chatting.
Jiayin sat in Mrs. Cui's arms, holding a big fruit in her hand.
She took a bite, and then gave it to her aunt and uncle to take another bite. Neither the aunt nor the nephew disliked the other, and they ate happily.
Three fat babies were lying on the kang, looking at them eagerly, drooling greedily, stretching out their little hands, scratching in the air from time to time.
I don’t know whether I want to catch the fruit or catch the heartless young lady!
Jiayin was also naughty. From time to time, he put the fruit in front of their noses and let them smell the sweetness of the fruit. Then he quickly took the fruit away and took a big bite.
It made the three fat babies dance with joy, shouting "Ahhh" in anger, and protesting non-stop!
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wu couldn't stop laughing. Mrs. Li nodded at the three fat babies' foreheads and scolded, "Three little idiots! I'm afraid you will be bullied by your sister when you grow up. You three will have nothing to do in the future." Let’s work together to find a solution!”
Mrs. Cui also smiled. She hugged her fat niece to her side, as a way of taking good care of this "bully" for the fat babies!
At dusk, the old men and Liu Biaotou and others were already sitting in the main room chatting and joking, and Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer came back from the city in a carriage.
Today is the court meeting. Logically speaking, Li Laoer and Mr. Wen go in and out together, so they should come back together!
Mrs. Li asked, and Mr. Li waved his hand and said, "Forget it, we are all getting on the carriage to come back. Someone from the Wen family said that Mrs. Wen is sick, so Mr. Wen can only go back with her."
Although everyone doesn’t know much about the Wen family affairs, they also know that Mr. Wen doesn’t get along with the family. After all, he always eats New Year’s Eve dinner at Li’s house during the Chinese New Year.
So, no one asked any more questions, only Mrs. Cui's eyes added a touch of sadness.
Soon, the food and wine were served, and everyone divided into two tables, chatting, laughing, eating and drinking, which re-injected vitality into the courtyard that had been quiet for a long time. In the sky, a crescent moon is half hidden in the light clouds. From time to time, its little face shows up, quietly looking towards the Li family yard to see something new...
There was no conversation all night. After dinner the next morning, Li Zhensheng went to the city as usual, while Li Laoer went to the school and wandered around the valley.
Mrs. Li was thinking about Mrs. Cui, so she brought a small straw hat to her granddaughter and planned to call Mrs. Cui for a walk in the orchard.
At this time of year, the eager fruit trees are already in bloom, so it’s a good time to enjoy the scenery and relax.
It was obvious that Mrs. Cui also wanted to go somewhere, and the two parties met as soon as they left the hospital.
Mrs. Cui pointed to the food box in Sister-in-law Qiong's hand and said, "I made some food and wanted to accompany my aunt and Fu Niu'er for an outing in the mountains."
Just as Mrs. Li was about to speak, a carriage turned around at the entrance of the village.
Mrs. Li thought she was a guest from the other side of the valley and didn't pay attention, but Mrs. Cui's expression changed and she said angrily: "Auntie, it's Mrs. Wen's family. She actually chased her here!"
Old Mrs. Li also frowned, not understanding what the Wen family was planning.
Even if you don't like Mrs. Cui coming in, you won't press her every step of the way, and you actually find Broken Gold Beach? !
She pulled Mrs. Cui behind her and told her, "You are the junior here. No one wants to find her, and you don't need to come forward. Let me see what they are doing, and then we can think of a solution."
Mrs. Cui still wanted to speak, but the Wen family's carriage had already arrived.
The large black carriage with a flat roof, pulled by a strong bay-red horse, is very majestic.
As soon as the carriage door opened, a woman jumped out and put down a footstool, then helped a middle-aged woman down. The woman turned around again, and the two of them helped out an old lady about sixty years old.
The middle-aged woman has an ordinary appearance, but her expression is very dignified.
The unsmiling look can even be said to be serious, not too likable.
But the old lady has thin eyebrows and narrow eyes, and a pointed face.
There is no kindness and kindness of the old man, but there is always a slight sadness between the eyebrows and eyes, which makes people feel a bit inconsistent no matter how they look at it.
And she also found Mrs. Cui behind Old Mrs. Li at a glance. Her eye circles were red at that time, and she called out softly, "Jinrou..."
Mrs. Cui trembled subconsciously, which made Old Mrs. Li frown and said, "Who are you? The carriage stopped in front of my house. Without bowing or saying hello, you came up to talk to my juniors. This is looking down on us Li." Home?"
The old lady was stunned for a moment, looking a little overwhelmed, and looked at the middle-aged woman next to her.
The middle-aged woman lowered her eyebrows, making it difficult to tell what her expression was. She just stepped forward to salute Mrs. Li and said, "You must be Mrs. Li, right? We are from the Wen family in Xindu, and my husband is from the Wen family. The eldest son is now an official of the fourth rank and works at Honglu Temple."
After saying that, she took a step back to reveal the old woman, and then said: "This is my mother-in-law. She went into the village today to visit the Cui family..."
Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Li had already responded: "Oh, you are Mr. Cui's mother and sister-in-law, right? What a coincidence. I have wanted to get to know you for a long time. Who would have thought that you would come to visit me today." "
Mrs. Wen’s mouth twitched. She clearly said she was visiting the Cui family, but Mrs. Li kept visiting her own house.
Is this just stupidity by nature, or someone who has made up his mind to protect someone...
