The matter of marriage was a headache for Old Lee, and even more so for Li Bao Zhu.
Her marriage was originally a little difficult, and with Madam Lin's matter, it would be even more difficult.
Now that he heard that someone was poking her in her face, Li Bao Zhu's expression became extremely unsightly.
However, that person was the same as her elder. She felt too much unhappiness in her heart, so she could only endure it.
She stood up, with one hand on her waist and the other hand on her aunt. She scolded her while drooling: "Liao Xinghua, explain to me clearly what it means that no one dares to marry my precious pearl." She felt that the reputation of the pearl had been tarnished by the village's gossip. If it weren't for their constant gossip, how could the pearl's marriage be so difficult?
If she knew who the long-tongued woman was, she would tear her apart.
Aunt Liao's expression darkened when she was scolded in such a manner. She stood up abruptly and looked straight into Madam Liu's eyes, "What kind of person is your family's treasure pearl? Who in the village doesn't know? " She pointed at the villagers who were enjoying the show, "If it wasn't for the fact that they are from the same clan, do you think I would be so kind as to advise you?" Others couldn't wait for Li Baozhu to marry so they could chat more after dinner.
If not for the couple's surname being Li as well and being of the same ancestor as Old Li, she wouldn't need to go through all this trouble.
Madam Liu scoffed at Aunt Liao, and said: "Forget it, you should keep your good intentions, my family does not need it." Wasn't her words saying that the pearl couldn't be married out? She really didn't need this kind of kindness.
She felt that those youngsters were blind, and that her family's pearl was round and smooth, which part of it was bad?
Just by looking at her appearance, he could tell that she was a good person to have children with. Whoever married her would definitely have many children.
For people like Li Qingling, who don't have much flesh, it was hard to say whether they could even live!
If her grandson had a wife, she would have to follow the conditions of her family's jewel.
Hearing that, Aunt Liao's chest rose up and down from anger. He glared at Madam Liu and turned to look at Old Li, "Old Li, look at your wife. What can she teach her children? If you don't care about it anymore, your grandson will be ruined. " Of course, other than the Li Qingling brothers and sisters, those few children looked good to her. They did not have a bad temper like Li Bao Zhu and his sister.
Being said like that, Old Li's face became dark and gloomy. He glared fiercely at Madam Liu, causing Madam Liu to flinch for a moment. Only then did the corners of his mouth twitched, as he gave an indifferent grunt.
As the proverb goes, a person should have a godson or a godwife, in front of so many people, he would never lose face for Madam Liu. If he lost face for Madam Liu, it would be equivalent to giving face to his own Old Lee, and such a thing, he would never do.
Just that, what Liao Xinghua said was right. If she did not properly teach Madam Liu, she would probably cause even more trouble.
For the peace of the Old Lee, he had to discipline his properly.
Liao Xinghua had said everything that needed to be said. Whether Old Li would do it or not depended on how he thought about it.
Being married to a sage and getting married to an unvirtuous wife would truly bring disaster to the third generation. If her youngest son married to a wife, he would have to open his eyes wide and see, he couldn't be like Old Li, who married and brought back such a wife, truly was a sinner.
With a faint sigh in her heart, Aunt Liao turned around and returned to her seat.
After Li Qingling saw that the good show was over, she slowly opened her mouth and asked Old Li to place the grain on the ground that she had swept up.
Old Li gave a deep glance at Li Qingling, but did not act polite with him, and directly unloaded the rice on the ground that Li Qingling had swept up. He instructed Li Bao Zhu to look after the rice in their house, picked up his carrying pole, and called Madam Liu over, before turning around and walking away.
Li Bao Zhu looked at Li Qingling gloating. They would obediently give it to their family.
Glancing at Li Bao Zhu, the corner of Li Qingling's mouth curled up into a smile. She was currently gloating over her misfortune.
Old Li was a person who loved face so much that he was humiliated in front of so many people. Although he couldn't do anything to others, he could still teach his wife and granddaughter a lesson.
Unfortunately, Li Bao Zhu couldn't see the situation clearly, and was also in the mood to gloat over her misfortune. For a brainless person like her to be able to live until now, it truly wasn't easy.
"Li Qingling, I heard that your family's rice grains are being collected, right?" Li Bao Zhu sat at the side, leisurely swinging her legs a bit. Seeing that Li Qingling was still sweeping the ground, she could not control her own mouth, "With your small amount of land, you can keep it for one day. Once you keep it properly, you can let those two people come and help us collect it. When she heard that Li Qingling had invited people to collect the rice, she became so jealous that she went crazy. Why did Li Qingling didn't have to do it?
Li Qingling was also the granddaughter of her grandparents.
Li Qingling looked at Li Bao Zhu with a smile that was not a smile. She could easily see through her thoughts.
"Sure …" She nodded her head, but just as Li Baochao was about to reveal a smile, she added, "Anyway, the salary is also paid by you, so it doesn't matter how long you buy it." He wanted her to be a fool, but he wanted her to be beautiful.
Li Bao Zhu's smile was fixed at the corner of her mouth, her eyes were wide open as she stared at Li Qingling, "What do you mean by that? "Huh?" She had made so much money in her family, yet she refused to pay for a short job? Was there still a grandpa or grandma in her heart?
"Even Sister Jewel can't understand such a simple meaning?"
Was Li Qingling mocking her for being stupid? Li Bao Zhu's eyes were wide open with anger burning in her eyes. She raised her leg and was about to walk towards Li Qingling to teach him a lesson.
But when the corner of her eyes swept across the villagers who were spectating, her footsteps paused for a moment, she came back to her senses, and stopped walking, but inwardly, she rejoiced. Luckily she reacted, or else she would have been tricked by Li Qingling.
"From what you're saying, you really don't want to be filial to your grandparents anymore?" If Li Qingling did not honor her grandfather's and grandmother's reputation and spread it, how could she raise her head and act like a human being?
Li Qingling held onto the broom in her hand, and looked at Li Bao Zhu quietly, her tone very calm: "Sister Jewel, when did I ever say I would not honor my grandparents?" The word 'filial' was too big, she did not want to carry a reputation that was not filial.
If she had an unfilial reputation, let alone other people, even the people in the village would have to puncture her spine.
Li Bao Zhu coldly snorted, "If you were filial to your grandparents, why wouldn't you ask others to help them collect rice?" It wasn't easy for her to catch a hold of Li Qingling, how could she be let off so easily?
She wished that Li Qingling would carry such an unfilial reputation on her back. At that time, how could she be arrogant?
With a heavy sigh, a look of helplessness appeared on Li Qingling's face, "Sister Jewel, it's not like you don't know what my family's situation is. It's already good enough for me to be able to feed my little brother and sister, how can I still support so many people?" Pausing for a moment, she continued: "However, if Uncle Uncle doesn't want to raise me, I can also raise my grandparents. I will not shirk from this point."
After she said that, the anger on Li Bao Zhu's face flared up even more, "Li Qingling, stop slandering people. Since when did my father say he doesn't want to raise a family?" Li Qingling's heart was becoming more and more vicious.
If her grandparents heard this, they would skin her alive.
Li Qingling looked at Li Bao Zhu with an innocent face, "Did I misunderstand? "Don't you mean that?"
"You …" Li Bao Zhu stomped his feet, just as he was about to retort against Li Qingling's words, he heard Old Li's shout.
"Jewel, what are you standing there for? Why aren't you coming over to help? "
Old Li placed the grain he was picking on the ground. Li Bao Zhu pursed his lips and quickly walked over and untied the rope binding the grain.
Just then, Li Qingling spoke out, "Grandfather, Sister Jewel wanted me to ask someone to help you guys collect the rice, it's not that I don't want to ask for help, it's just that you know about my family's situation, this money …." Seeing Old Li's unsightly expression, she hurriedly said, "If your grandmother really can't do it, and your family has no money, I'll go borrow money, and ask others to help you guys." What was that provocation from Li Baozhu worth? She was the true expert.
The moment Li Bao Zhu heard what Li Qingling said, her face paled for a moment. She turned her head and saw Old Li, who was staring at her with a dark expression, and her voice started to tremble, "Grandfather, don't listen to Li Qingling's nonsense. I didn't say anything." This Li Qingling was really ruthless, she dared to complain to his grandfather.
Old Li glared fiercely at Li Bao Zhu and hummed a few more words. He could still do it, there was no need to invite anyone, after saying that, he carried his carrying pole and left.
After taking two steps, he turned around and looked at Li Baoyu, telling her to follow him down to the ground.
"Grandfather, if I were to go down to the ground, who would be looking at this grain?" Li Baozhu's heart was filled with ten thousand unwillingness. She was so tired from harvesting the rice, so she didn't want to go.
"Xiao Ling, help me take a look. Qing Fu will come over later to take a look." Old Li said, "Let's go!" He turned and left.
Li Bao Zhu had no other choice but to follow Old Li's footsteps unwillingly.
Without Li Bao Zhu, Li Qingling was safe and clear. She slowly swept across the empty land, and after sweeping, Titan had returned with a cart full of grain and rice.
Behind him was Liu Zhimo.
