Chapter 413 Unrecognizable things

The Li family mansion in the capital.

The ancestors of the Li family were from a scholarly family, and the inherited ancestral house still retains the original ancient charm in this modern city.

Three-entry courtyard, from the gate to the inside, flowers and willows are scattered all the way.

The layout is elegant and the scenery is pleasant.

Li Fengyao returned to the hall of the Banyue Building with her book bag in her hand, and the autumn sun had already begun to slant westward.

The sound of playing mahjong in the hall is a bit disturbing.

In front of the four-leaf screen in the left corner, on a mahjong table, four elderly ladies smiled lightly and fought fiercely with their subordinates.

Beside the mahjong table, there is also a beautiful woman with black hair and long dress, holding a teacup, sipping tea and watching the battle.

Seeing him coming back, the beautiful woman immediately put the teacup aside, got up and greeted him gracefully, speaking softly, "Didn't you say that you went to the bookstore to buy books and get together with friends, and you're back now?"

"Auntie." Li Fengyao called out with a smile, approached and helped the beautiful woman, and sat down at the corner of the mahogany, "The book has been bought, and I was going to get together with my friends. They have something to do in the afternoon, so I will be back first." .”

"It's a rare weekend. Now that you're out, you should relax. My aunt knows that you work hard in your studies. You don't need to stretch yourself too hard. You should know how to balance work and rest." Li Shiqing looked at the young man's face from side to side, frowning, "It seems that you have lost weight. Some, I asked the kitchen to cook your favorite fresh lotus root and ribs soup for you, and have two more bowls of Bubu for dinner."

"Okay, I must drink a lot of soup made by my aunt." Li Fengyao said, and took out a small brocade box from her book bag and handed it over, "On the way back, I passed the moonlight autumn brocade. You came back with a present."

"Bring me a gift, silk brocade?" Li Shiqing was surprised, took the brocade box and opened it, and saw a silk brocade handkerchief lying inside, her eyes overflowed with light, "You child, the moonlight autumn brocade is not cheap , you are still studying, what are you doing with this money?"

Moonlight Autumn Brocade is the most famous silk fabric store in Beijing.

The things sold inside are all handmade with silk, and the price is not cheap.

Before the change, Li Shiqing bought these things without blinking her eyes.

But ever since the relationship with Mr. Xiao froze and the husband and wife were kicked out of Xiao's house, their material standards began to be greatly reduced.

Li Shiqing, who was used to being a rich wife, had to start digging and searching, calculating her life.

"As long as you are here, my mother can't keep up with your aunt. Look, I went out and brought my aunt a silk brocade handkerchief, but my mother didn't leave anything behind." The woman complained half-truthfully, "Shiqing, I think this son might as well be given to you."

The other women all spoke up, "Feng Yao, you are wrong, you can't favor one person over another, dare you have only aunts? We aunts and aunts can't catch up with your aunts, but you are your own mother. Pay more attention to it?"

Li Fengyao walked over, squeezed her mother's shoulders and thumped her back, and then bowed down to a few elders, "I didn't think my aunt was in a bad mood recently, so I bought a gift to make her happy. Mom, the son was born by you. The whole thing belongs to you, do you really care about this with me? Besides, you are not bad to your aunt, what time do you not support her? As a junior, I just follow the example and follow the example of being respectful, filial and respectful. It’s just a good family tradition.”

Several women were coaxed into smiles and scolded him, "You are the only one with sweet lips."

Li Shiqing held the silk handkerchief, looked at the harmonious and warm scene in front of her, and listened to their love and care for her, and her heart and eyes were moved.

"By the way, aunt, when I came out of the bookstore, I saw my cousin. There were a few female classmates who were buying books together at the bookstore. He drove to pick up those female classmates." Li Fengyao talked about the incident at the door of the bookstore. , "At first, I wanted to ask him to come to my house, so that he could get together with you and uncle... Next time, next time I have a chance, I will definitely invite him over."

Li Shiqing's face turned cold instantly.

She looked down at the brand new and expensive silk handkerchief in her hand, and when she mentioned the son, her tone was cold and resentful, "You don't have to hide anything for him, he must have said something nice to you, right? Things that the six relatives don't recognize, come from my stomach He crawled out, but he is not half as good as your cousin in terms of caring and filial piety. Even if he really came, he would only be angry with me! I really don’t know why I gave birth to this evil obstacle in the first place, he just came to collect debts from me !"

Over the mahjong table, the sisters-in-law of the Li family looked at each other, each with a different color in their eyes.

Li Fengyao's mother, Tan Hui, sighed long and said, "The Xiao official's child is indeed a bit too much in this matter. In terms of closeness, it should be the parents who want to kiss, right? It's hard to avoid being confused. At this time, as a son, he said that he should protect you all, but he just vented his anger with Mr. Xiao, and now the family can't be married. You say you... Oh, it's a pity that our Li family is so soft-spoken. Don’t dare to speak to him at all.”

The woman on the opposite side received her wink and immediately followed suit, "Since ancient times, there is no responsibility and no complaints. It's not a matter of course for parents to discipline their sons? Just like Mr. Xiao disciplines Chang Shan, Chang Shan is as qualified as you to discipline yourself. Isn’t it his son? Shiqing, I’ve said some things that shouldn’t be said, but don’t think I’m taking eye drops. The Xiao family sees everyone as a thief, and always thinks that our Li family is trying to figure them out. What are we actually trying to do? He, Mr. Xiao, suppressed our Li family, and turned our family from a first-class family to a second-rate family? He talked about Xiao Li’s kidnapping when he was a child all day long. Our family explained it early in the morning. It was a misunderstanding, but unfortunately he didn’t listen. Look, his Xiao family is just afraid that your natal family will be strong, and they won't be able to hold you back with your natal family's support!"

"If we really had a plan, we would have broken with you and Changshan when we were suppressed at home. Can we give you a safe place to live when you are driven out of the Xiao family and have nowhere to go like now? You are a girl from the Li family, as a family, we naturally wish you all the best, but it is a pity that we are guarded by others, and the trouble has come to this point."

"Mr. Xiao has long designated Xiao Li as his successor. He will inherit the Xiao family in the future. Now he only regards Mr. Xiao as his own family, but treats you and Changshan as outsiders. Even if he takes power in the Xiao family in the future, I'm afraid you The husband and wife can't get along with him. Shiqing, you and Changshan should have made plans early. A lifetime is so long, you must accumulate some protection for your old age, right? Counting on the son of Xiao Li, I'm afraid it's unreliable."

The words fell into Li Shiqing's ears, her mood was surging, and her resentment towards the Xiao family kept rising.

After everyone had finished talking, the hall was quiet for a while, and they didn't have the heart to play mahjong anymore.

Seeing that the atmosphere was down, Li Fengyao smiled to smooth things over, "Mom, uncle, third aunt, fourth aunt, what you said is too serious. No matter what happens in the future, no matter how bad it is, aunt still has me as a nephew, right? At worst, I will take care of my aunt and uncle in the future."
