Fortunate Wife

When Li Man came home and had nothing to do, she and Li Shu took a small stool and sat in the yard picking leeks. Everyone in the family loves leeks, so Li Mo planted a lot in the vegetable garden of the old house. .

Just after picking a large handful of leeks, they heard Li Xiangyu's still angry voice from a distance. The two got up and came to the gate of the courtyard. They saw Li Mo, Li Xiangyu and Xiao Wu, who were going up the slope. while walking.

Along the way, Li Xiangyu kept pulling Li Mo and chatting with him endlessly.

"Boss, let me ask you, is what that stinky bitch said true?"

Li Mo said with a dark face, "Of course it's not true."

"Then tell me clearly, how long did you have so much money, and how did you build a house and open a shop?" Li Xiangyu asked.

It turned out that she was sitting in the village, chatting and laughing with a few women, intentionally or unintentionally, she was a little proud of her nephews' achievements, building new buildings, opening shops and so on. In the future, no one in Shennvgou would be able to catch up.

At this time, Xingniang came out from nowhere, and suddenly said, "It's all thanks to your niece and daughter-in-law."

Just this one sentence caused trouble, and even made people who didn't know what to do in it speculate, how could a weak woman earn so much money? And in such a short time?

Xingniang smiled as if she was very experienced, and said that it is not difficult, as long as it is a woman, especially a beautiful woman, it is not easy to get money if you want it.

This statement is incredible, as long as anyone with a brain thinks about it for a while, they can guess what Xingniang means.

Li Xiangyu became angry immediately, and slapped Xingniang's triumphant face, grabbed her by the hair, pinned her to the ground and beat her hard.

Although she didn't want to see Li Man in her heart, she felt that her appearance was too beautiful, which might not be a good thing in a farm like theirs, but she also couldn't tolerate others being abused like this, which had something to do with the reputation of her nephews.

So, in that situation, even though she had some doubts about the sudden richness of the Li family, she still tightly restrained Xingniang. That's nonsense to frame and frame, it's envy, jealousy and hatred.

When Li Mo came, Xingniang had already been pinned to the ground by Li Xiangyu and lost two front teeth.

When Li Xiangyu was a girl at home, she was very aggressive. Basically, as long as she didn't fight with men, she would not suffer. Li Mo also knew this, so this was also the reason why Li Shu didn't follow her.

When he went, others thought it was just to fight, but Li Shu also went, and the two brothers were together, and people might talk about the family bullying together.

Seeing that it was Xingniang who was pinned to the ground and beaten, Li Mo felt a headache. This Xingniang has become the most unskilled talker in the village. Through her mouth, he didn't know what he had made up in front of Li Xiangyu.

"Li Mo, help me, your aunt is going to kill someone." Xingniang's face was covered with blood, she was pinned down on the ground and couldn't get up, and no one who was watching on the side dared to fight, or in other words, there was no one there. Those who are willing to help Xingniang feel that she deserves the beating.

Li Mo gave Xingniang a disgusted look, and was also afraid that his elder sister would not be serious in her attack, and it would be hard to say if she really wanted to beat someone up.

So, he still pulled Li Xiangyu, "Auntie, what are you doing?"

"Boss, you came at the right time. You slapped me on the mouth of this stinky woman. She dared to talk nonsense, saying that the money you used to build a house and open a shop was all dirty money earned by your wife." Li Xiangyu said angrily.

Li Mo's face darkened immediately, and he pulled Li Xiangyu away, "Auntie, what can you say to this kind of woman? Can you believe her words?"

His voice was quite loud, as if he was also speaking to other onlookers.

In fact, if he didn't say that, people wouldn't believe Xingniang's words. If they didn't look at anything else, they would look at how the Li family brothers defended their daughter-in-law, would they be willing to let their daughter-in-law do dirty things? They wouldn't believe it even if they were killed.

So, when Li Mo Xiaowu dragged Li Xiangyu away, everyone ridiculed that it was Xing Niang who came here, saying that she had a big mouth and shouldn't ruin the reputation of other people's daughter-in-law.

Angry Xingniang sat on the ground crying and cursing.

On the way back, Li Xiangyu grabbed Li Mo and insisted on telling him where the family money came from. She didn't forget that when Li Mo came here, she said that it was Li Man's credit that the house was built at home. He thought it was because he wanted to increase his affection for Li Man, but now that he thought about it, he became suspicious.

But Li Mo didn't want to say that Li Man's money was earned from Qing and Lou, so he had to be vague and perfunctory.

The two quarreled all the way home.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Li Shu and Li Man. Li Xiangyu ran towards Li Man, grabbed her arm and asked, "Tell me clearly, how did you earn all the money at home?"

Because of her agitation, her voice was high and sharp, and Li Man was taken aback. Fortunately, Li Mo and Li Shu came over in time, and each pulled Li Xiangyu away.

"Auntie, what are you doing?" Li Shuhu stood in front of Li Man, looking at Li Xiangyu with displeasure. Fighting outside is not enough, so come home to bully his wife?

"Third brother, get out of the way, I'm going to ask you clearly today." Li Xiangyu wanted to pull Li Shu and Li Man away, but Li Mo's arms were restrained, and he couldn't move. If you don't tell me clearly, I will never end with you."

"Auntie, if you have something to say, go ahead and put out the fire first, don't be intimidated..." Li Mo was afraid of scaring Li Man, but what he said would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire. Said, "Don't scare Xiao Wu."

Xiao Wu was very clever, and immediately pursed her mouth, she walked up to Li Xiangyu, pulled her sleeve and begged, "Auntie, don't hit me."

"I—" Li Xiangyu choked back in anger, "I didn't say I was going to beat her, so I asked her, why are you so nervous?"

It's no wonder if you're not nervous, when Li Mo thought that Xingniang was beaten so badly that she couldn't see her true form, she worried in her heart that this aunt would play tricks on Man'er.

However, after a while, Li Man calmed down and woke up.

"Auntie, is someone gossiping in front of you?"

"You just said where did the money for building the house and opening the shop come from?" Li Xiangyu asked straightforwardly.

"I earned it." Li Man replied simply, "At that time, except for Xiaowu, Big Brother and the others were all there."

Li Xiangyu looked at Li Mo suspiciously, "Are you there too? You just watched her...then...then what?"

She didn't say the following words, but the meaning was clear, Li Mo's face became darker and darker, "Where did you think?"

"Do I still have to think about it? How can a weak woman earn money?" Li Xiangyu gave Li Mo a hard look, thinking she was thinking clearly, and such things are not uncommon in this age. It's rare for a daughter-in-law to be a chicken, but there are a lot of those who are short of money and directly pawn their daughter-in-law to others in exchange for money.

Li Man's head was full of black lines, and she had basically guessed what was going on in Li Xiangyu's mind, and suddenly felt a little chilled and annoyed.

Why didn't Li Mo make it clear to her, did he still think that the money she earned was dishonest? Is it dirty money?

She couldn't help but cast a glance at Li Mo, just this one, slightly disappointed look, made Li Mo's heart tremble, "Man'er..."

Li Man didn't let him say what he said later, and said directly to Li Xiangyu, "I earned that money from Nuanxianglou. I sold them a technology and earned a thousand taels."

"One thousand taels." Li Xiangyu was dumbfounded, "What...what technology, one thousand taels?"

"It's just makeup and styling, and a few other ideas, which brought their business back to life." Li Man said simply, she didn't steal, rob, or sell, and she didn't think there was any shame in it.

"You?" Li Xiangyu lives in a town outside and has heard of the Nuanxiang Building. Although Li Man said that technology can be sold to make money, is that kind of place a place for a dutiful woman to go?

Seeing Li Man's stubborn and unrepentant expression, Li Xiangyu's face trembled angrily, she turned her head and gave Li Mo a cold look, "Boss, follow me into the house."

Li Mo looked at Li Man helplessly, then followed Li Xiangyu into the main room.

In the yard, Li Man was also slightly stunned, with an indescribable feeling in her heart, like being crushed by a big rock suddenly, and she was so stuffy that she couldn't breathe.

"Daughter-in-law, don't worry about her, she is used to it, and she will feel uncomfortable if she doesn't prick people for a day." Seeing that her expression was wrong, Li Shu hurriedly coaxed her.

On the side, Xiao Wu saw Li Man's face was pale, and felt pity in her heart, but seeing her stretched her lips into a smile under the comfort of the third brother, she turned around and went to her bedroom as if she was a little annoyed.

"Forget it, I'm fine. I'm going to wash the vegetables. How do I eat leeks at night? Make soup or stir-fry?" Li Man asked casually.

Li Shu squatted down with her and stroked the leeks on the ground, and looked at her worriedly, "Daughter-in-law, are you okay? I know, you must be angry at what my aunt said, but you really don't mind—"

"Really not." Li Man waved at him. What she cared about was - Li Mo's attitude was originally a very clean thing, but why didn't he just say it? Hiding and perfunctory like this hurt her heart instead.

——

In the main room, Li Xiangyu was sitting on a chair, panting heavily, as if she was very angry, but she didn't speak for a long time, just waiting for Li Mo to express her attitude.

Li Mo was annoyed, he didn't expect things to turn out like this, just now Li Man looked at him with such disappointment——

"Boss." Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Li Xiangyu had no choice but to speak first, "What do you think about this matter?"

"What should I do?" What Li Mo couldn't get rid of was Li Man's eyes. She had never looked at him like that, and he knew in his heart that he must have hurt her if he didn't make it clear. Not at all, once she thinks of that kind of place, she will not give up, he is also afraid that she will hurt Li Man if she makes a lot of noise, but who knows, it will still be like this in the end——

Thinking he was pretending to be confused, Li Xiangyu stared at him sternly for a moment, then said, "Your daughter-in-law did such a thing, are you still protecting her and not asking about it? If it gets out—"

"So what if it spread? Our brother was with us at the time. She didn't steal or rob or do anything shameful. On such a hot day, she went back and forth to work as a master every day. She worked so hard—"

"Hard work? I earned a thousand taels for nothing. Heh, if it's hard money, everyone in the world would be willing to do this hard work, right?" Li Xiangyu sneered, "It's just, boss, your father buried on the mountain Mother, if you know how promising your daughter-in-law is, will you wake up laughing?"

Li Mo's face changed abruptly, and he scolded in a cold voice, "Auntie—"

Li Xiangyu was taken aback by the drink, and immediately refused to accept, "Could it be that what I said is wrong, this is something that insults the family."

"Enough." Li Mo stared at her condensedly, "Auntie, let me explain to you again, Man'er earns clean money, if you say she insults the family style, you might as well say me, she does things. They all pass me first."

"You?" Li Xiangyu was furious, "You just protect it, how can there be such a thing as a daughter-in-law?"

Li Mo sneered, "You also know that I spoil my daughter-in-law. That's right, I spoil her. In my eyes, she is good no matter what. So, if you still want to be my aunt, what are you doing?" Don't say anything. You say she is the same as me."

"You—" Li Xiangyu was so angry that she couldn't speak, and finally, tears fell down, "Boss, why did you become so unbelievable? But just a woman, why did you become like this?"

"She is not an ordinary woman, she is my wife." Li Mo left a sentence, ignored Li Xiangyu, got up and went out.

Just now, Man'er was sad, and he was worried.

In fact, Li Man was in the yard, and had already listened to the conversation between the two people in the room. For Li Mo's direct and undisguised maintenance, sweetness gradually surged in her heart, and her anger and disappointment with him gradually faded away. up.

So, when Li Mo found out, she advised him instead, "Brother, don't be angry, your aunt is also for your own good, so just listen to what you say."

"Man'er." Such words sounded even more stinging to Li Mo, he would rather Li Man scold him a few words, or even beat him, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

"What does it have to do with you?" Li Man sighed, it was all the feudal thinking of this era, and she was also to blame. At that time, she only felt that she could make money so fast, and she felt that her business had nothing to do with others, and she didn't care about rumors at all. Thinking about it now, as long as people live in this world, it may be difficult to be independent from the world, and they have to adapt to this society.

"I--"

"Brother, it's okay, my wife is not such a stingy person." Li Shu also persuaded Li Mo.

Li Mo sighed softly, "Okay, this matter is over."

Li Man smiled slightly, forget it, things have happened, others can think whatever they want, anyway, her men are all on her side, that's enough.

She was still preparing dinner happily as usual.

Li Xiangyu lay on the big table in the main room, sobbing and crying for a long time, but no one came to coax her, her heart was so cold, she cursed a few white-eyed wolves, and then wiped away her tears in aggrieved , Come out pretending not to care.

There was no one in the yard, and Li Mo and Li Shu went to the field again.

Li Xiangyu saw that there was no one around, and then listened to the movement in the kitchen, and immediately thought that Li Man might be alone, so she had an idea, and quietly entered the kitchen.

Li Man was washing rice, when there was a person standing behind her unexpectedly, her heart shrank in fright, when she turned her head and saw Li Xiangyu, she couldn't help frowning, but she didn't call her, and continued to be busy on her own.

Li Xiangyu became furious immediately, "Don't you yell when you see me? Are you so unruly?"

Li Man put the lid on the pot, turned to look at her, "What are you calling?"

"What are you calling me for? When Boss and the others are here, that aunt shouts so warmly. When they're not there, your nature will be exposed? Don't take me as an aunt at all." Li Xiangyu scolded.

"Auntie?" Li Man raised her eyebrows and sarcastically said, "Do you want me to call you Auntie?"

"You? Hmph, I don't want to." Li Xiangyu sneered rather arrogantly.

Li Man curled her lips, "That's it."

"..." Li Xiangyu pulled her face down, looked at Li Man and shook her head, "I didn't expect you to be quite sharp-tongued. Hmph, it really was a vixen who gave birth—"

Wow, before he finished speaking, a large ladle of cold water was poured down his head, and Li Xiangyu was stunned on the spot.

Li Man held the water ladle, looked at her coolly, and did not speak.

"You? How dare you splash me with water?" Li Xiangyu wanted to reach out and grab her hair angrily.

Then, before she could pounce, someone hugged her waist from behind.

"Auntie, do you still want to hit someone?" Xiao Wu angrily dragged Li Xiangyu to the door.

"Xiao Wu, didn't you see that Xiaojian poured water on me?" Li Xiangyu didn't expect Xiao Wu to be so strong. She had never earned it, and she was dragged to the yard.

"That's enough." After reaching the yard, he let her go, Xiao Wu's face was livid, "I heard what you just said."

Li Xiangyu immediately said, "Xiao Wu, did you hear that too? Isn't Xiao Jianren too unruly—"

"Xiao Jianren again? Auntie, I think you are—" Xiao Wu's face became more and more gloomy. At such a young age, his whole body exudes a gloom that doesn't suit his age.

Li Xiangyu was really scared and shut up.

Xiao Wu looked at her coldly, "You are an elder, you shouldn't have said such scolding words as Xiao Jianren and the vixen. Besides, she is our daughter-in-law, if you scold her again, I don't care what the elder brother and the others do. At least, I won't recognize you."

After speaking, Xiao Wu went straight back to the room, leaving Li Xiangyu wet and cold from head to toe.

——

In the kitchen, Li Man held the water ladle and leaned against the pot, feeling a little bit of regret in her heart, she was too impulsive just now.

But the clay figurine still has a bit of earthy nature. For no reason, this aunt always dislikes herself. If she doesn't teach her a lesson, she still wants to make fun of others.

For the peace of this family, she felt that she had to do something.

So, I hardened my heart, and didn't care about Li Xiangyu who was in a daze outside. Maybe her nephews treated her so well in the past, making her forget her identity. Now, it's better to let her cool down.

Li Man figured it out and continued cooking.

Li Xiangyu finally let out a bad breath, and it seemed that he had just woken up from Xiaowu's cold and threatening words, "Stinky boy, do you still dare to deny me? You don't know, when you were so young, I hugged you Let you find someone to beg for milk from village to village, if it weren't for me—"

Xiao Wu's figure suddenly appeared at the door, staring at her coldly.

"You, you brat, what kind of eyes are you looking at?" Li Xiangyu was inexplicably guilty when he stared at him.

Xiao Wu said, "Auntie is all wet, let's change into clothes first."

"Hmph." It was already autumn, and when a gust of wind blew, Li Xiangyu shivered, but obediently entered the house, took her package, and asked, "Which house should I go to?"

"This way." Xiao Wu pointed to the room where he slept.

Li Xiangyu took the package and went in. This time, she did bring a few sets of clothes for a change. Her natal family built a new house, so she had to stay for a few more days as an eldest aunt, so she could talk to people and show off that her natal family had someone.

After changing clothes and coming out, seeing Xiao Wu still leaning against the door, Li Xiangyu asked, "Is that room yours?"

"Oh." Xiao Wu snorted casually, there were only a few rooms in the house, and he picked one at random, fearing that he would have to have an older brother to live with him.

"What about her?" Li Xiangyu couldn't help thinking that the room she saw upstairs in the morning was almost the best room among all the rooms. There was a dressing table and a mirror in it. Suddenly, she asked in surprise. , "Where does she live upstairs?"

"Oh, my sister likes to live upstairs." Xiao Wu replied.

"What?" Li Xiangyu was shocked, "What's the matter? No wonder you all listen to her like this. Isn't that obvious? She has already ridden on top of you, no, she has to come down and live."

Thinking about it, Li Xiangyu suddenly spread her legs and ran towards the stairs, thinking of moving all of Li Man's things upstairs, this is really a rare thing, no woman lives on top of a man.

Xiao Wu raised his forehead annoyed, hurried over, and grabbed Li Xiangyu, "Auntie, stop making trouble, okay?"

"Xiao Wu." Li Xiangyu was also stunned, pulled Xiao Wu and said in a low voice, "You child doesn't understand, this man is so indomitable, how can he be pressed on top of his head by a woman? I can't hold my head up."

"It's just a house, what a mess." Xiao Wu was given a headache by what she said.

Li Xiangyu looked serious, "It's not my aunt's nonsense, this woman has to be below, otherwise, you brothers will be bullied by her for the rest of your life."

"If you bully, bully, don't be fooled." Xiao Wu said harshly.

Li Xiangyu was stunned, "You brat, I'm doing it for your own good. I was pressed on top of my head by a woman, are you still men?"

"..." Xiao Wu suddenly puffed up his chest, "Yes, why not?" I hate when people say that he is still a child, not a man.

Li Xiangyu was amused by his expression, "That's it, if you want to control your wife, you can't let her ride on your head."

"Then what do you want to do?" Xiao Wu asked puzzled.

Li Xiangyu sneered, "Get her things off and let her sleep underneath."

Xiao Wu's face was full of black lines, "No, my sister will be angry."

"What are you afraid of? You are her men, why are you afraid that she will get angry? Speaking of which, your older brothers were all good before, but now they are as soft as mud. If you want me to say, the daughter-in-law is disobedient and beats her hard That's good, I can still let her ride on top of you." Li Xiangyu became angry again when she thought about Li Man's arrogance just now.

As soon as Xiao Wu heard this, his face sank immediately, and he let go of Li Xiangyu, "Auntie, you don't have to listen to me, but if you dare to get her things off, I can guarantee that you won't be able to enter the house in the future." Our house is closed."

Li Xiangyu, "..."

Xiao Wuyi turned around and walked out.

"Xiao Wu." Li Xiangyu called him, but Xiao Wu ignored him, went straight out the door, and went to the kitchen.

Li Xiangyu froze at the stairs, debating whether to go up or not, but she was frustrated by Li Man one after another, and the attitude of Li Mo and others made her feel guilty again. If she was driven home, her mother's family would not be able to return , she lost all face.

After thinking about it again and again, Li Xiangyu sat down on the floor and sighed heavily, "Well, I don't care about anything, it's alright."

——

Xiao Wu entered the kitchen and saw that Li Man was cooking vegetables standing by the pot, her slender figure was almost enveloped by a thin layer of smoke.

Seeing him, Li Man was also taken aback. This little guy has been ignoring her since noon. She grinned a little flatteringly, "Xiao Wu, just now..."

Xiao Wu didn't listen to her, and went straight to the stove to help light the fire.

Li Man immediately pursed her lips and smiled, saying that the child will not be angry for long, but if he is angry because he saw the scene of her and Li Shu, she thinks it is necessary to find a time to have a good talk with him up.

While passing firewood into the pot hole, Xiao Wu waited for Li Man's next words, but after waiting for a long time, he still didn't hear any movement, so he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, drooping his head sullenly, and kept going into the pot hole. Handing firewood.

The fire was raging and intense, and Li Man was frying the leeks, but she felt that the tender leeks were about to be burnt, and she didn't even have time to quickly stir fry them with a spatula, so she hurriedly shouted, "Xiao Wu, lower the fire."

On the one hand, he quickly poured some water into the pot.

Xiao Wu was at a loss, and when he woke up, he saw the crackling sound of burning in the pot hole, and hurriedly pulled out a few twigs.

With great difficulty, Li Man fried the leeks and put them out. After washing the pot, he cooked the soup again. After the soup was done, he walked to the side of the pot and took a stool to sit on the side of Xiaowu.

Xiao Wu froze, staring at Li Man in astonishment, not understanding why she suddenly sat next to him, met her big black eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and then jumped more and more violently, as if she was about to start Like popping out of the chest.

However, on the surface, he tried his best to remain calm, "You, what are you doing?"

"Xiao Wu." Li Man looked at his young face, and sighed slightly in her heart, "What were you thinking just now?"

"What are you thinking? I didn't think about it." Xiao Wu lowered her eyes, afraid of revealing her thoughts under her clear eyes.

Li Man shook her head and chuckled, "You must have lost your mind just now, otherwise, the fire almost burned the pot."

"..." Xiao Wu made a slip of the tongue.

Li Man paused, and continued, "Originally, I wanted to wait until you were older, and then tell you something, but—"

Who knows, such a big hairy child is as big as a kid, especially in recent days, the way she often looks at her makes her feel hairy, although she always comforts herself that he is still young, but this age is not the same as modern times. Same.

There are many boys who get married when they are fifteen or sixteen. Therefore, there are many children who are engaged at an age like Xiaowu. She is afraid that she will treat him as a child, and he will feel that he is an adult at all.

"What do you want to say?" Xiao Wu is sensitive. Hearing the beginning, he seemed to have a bad premonition, and even his eyes sharpened.

Li Man's heart trembled, darling, this little thing has sharp eyes, will it be okay when he grows up? She hurriedly collected her emotions, and said slowly in an elder tone, "Xiao Wu is about to be eleven? In a few years, he will be a young man."

When Xiao Wu heard this, the corners of his lips raised unconsciously, yes, in a few years, at most it will not exceed five years.

Five years is a long time.

Seeing him smile, Li Man laughed too. Children of this age look forward to growing up quickly, just like when she was a child.

"My sister is thinking, what kind of girl will we find to match our little five when Xiao Wu is in college?"

She wanted to tell him jokingly that she would find him a good girl to match him in the future.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, Xiao Wu suddenly raised his head, and his cold eyes turned directly on Li Man's face.

Li Man's heart sank, and she coughed uncomfortably. Looking at his undisguised eyes, she couldn't continue the conversation. She decided in her heart, why not wait for Li Mo and the others to come back and discuss it, so she might as well order a doll for this little guy first. Dear?

In fact, it's not a baby relationship, they are so old, and there are engagements, the two families have been in contact for a few years, and they can get married when they are adults.

She saw that Dayong Niang was already engaged in Zhang Luo Dayong's marriage, and she said that this kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later. When you meet a good girl, it is right to make a decision first. The most you will lose is the gift during the next year .

That's it, Li Man stood up suddenly.

"Why?" She walked away suddenly and stopped chatting with him?

Li Man walked out and replied, "I'll call your eldest brother and third brother home for dinner."

"Oh." She didn't even look back, she was shy, right? Xiao Wu felt happy for no reason when she thought that she was blushing and her lips were trembling and speechless just now when he just glanced at her so much.

——

As soon as they went out, Li Mo and Li Shu came back with a hoe on their shoulders. In fact, there was only a little work left in the field. The two of them hurried back after they finished their work, fearing that Li Xiangyu would make trouble again if he was not around.

When they came back, they saw that the yard was quiet and Li Man was intact, so they were relieved.

The sky gradually darkened. From here, you can see the position where the sun sets, and the gorgeous sunset glow shrouds the green mountains and green waters, which is particularly moving.

Li Yan and Li Hua walked towards home quickly, following the setting sun.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Yan lowered his head and leaned into Li Man's ear, "Nothing happened, right?"

Li Man was taken aback for a moment, then thought of Li Xiangyu and smiled, he is really smart.

——

For dinner, the whole family sat around the big table in the kitchen. There was still a lot of braised pork left at noon. Li Man was getting hot, and I picked up a lot for Li Yan and Li Hua. "We ate at noon, these are for you stay."

"Yeah." Both of them smiled, looking resigned.

Li Xiangyu looked at her in a panic, but thinking that no one would listen to her words no matter how much she said, she had to give up and start eating sullenly.

After eating, she put down the bowl and chopsticks, got up and went out.

"What? What happened today?" Looking at the atmosphere, Li Yan guessed everything, but judging by Li Xiangyu's slumped face, it must be that his daughter-in-law is at a disadvantage.

Li Mo shook his head, "Don't mention it, let's eat."

"Oh." It doesn't matter if his daughter-in-law suffers, Li Yan is too lazy to care about these messes.

——

After dinner, Li Man boiled hot water and carried it to the small bathroom to take a bath by herself.

This small bathroom is connected to the kitchen. It is a separate room. Li Man also asked Li Yan to make a few wooden shelves, which are embedded in the wall and can be used to hang towels and clothes.

It was the first time I took a shower in the bathroom, and it was no longer like being in my own room before, afraid of splashing water all over the room.

This time, Li Man bathed very comfortably, and the speed was much slower.

In the yard, Li Xiangyu was sitting on a chair with an extremely picky expression. The weather is not dog days anymore, it is extremely cool, is it necessary to take a bath every day like this? What a waste of water.

Just now, she saw that there was such a big pot of hot water mixed with cold water, and she carried two wooden barrels over there.

However, seeing how the Li family brothers are used to this, Li Xiangyu is even more in pain, don't care about it, he is too bad at life, how can he take a bath as a routine?

What made her even more angry was that after taking a shower, Li Man shook hands with the shopkeeper and went upstairs directly. The bath water was poured by Li Mo.

This pours bath water for women? I am not afraid of being laughed at when I speak out.

Li Xiangyu was sitting in the yard, her nose was almost crooked with anger, but Li Mo's expression seemed to be more useful than pouring bath water for his wife, and he lost his temper. Get up and ask, "Which room do I sleep in?"

"Oh, let's just go to the room downstairs." Li Mo said, and took Li Xiangyu to a room next to the stairs. "The mattresses are all laid in the morning, and they are clean."

"What? Are you afraid that I'll sleep dirty?" Li Xiangyu glared at Li Mo.

Li Mo was helpless, "Auntie, you know I didn't mean that,"

Then, put the oil lamp on the window sill, "You rest first, I'm going out."

"You—" Li Xiangyu was still thinking about it, and said to him at night, other things can be tolerated, but Li Man is sleeping on top of them, this matter is very irritating.

But Li Mo didn't want to listen to her at all, so he hurriedly opened the door and left.

Li Xiangyu took a long breath and cursed secretly that they were all worthless, and she would be angry with her daughter-in-law for the rest of her life.

——

After Li Mo settled down with Li Xiangyu, he immediately went to the kitchen. Li Hua had already boiled hot water, "Brother, you can use it first."

"Yeah." Tonight is the first night they stayed in their new home, and it was also the day he spent with Li Man, so Li Mo was not polite, scooped up the bath water, carried it to the bathroom, took a good shower, and hurriedly went upstairs.

Under the dim light, Li Man was sitting sideways on the kang, combing her hair with her hands. There were no barbers in this era, and her hair was now as long as her waist. She wanted to cut some off a few times, but Li Mo They stopped it, saying it was so beautiful, it was a pity to cut it.

Li Mo closed the door, lifted the curtain, climbed onto the kang, saw Li Man's two fingers stuck in her hair, her eyebrows tightly furrowed, and hurriedly stretched out her hand, "Is it knotted again?"

"Yeah." Li Man put down her hands with a bitter face, and let Li Mo loosen her hair.

Her hair was thick and long, once washed, it was like seaweed, and she couldn't pull it apart when it entangled her. Whenever this happened, she wanted to cut it short.

But it was just thinking like this, and she didn't dare to do it. Seeing how Li Mo took care of her hair carefully, she knew that for her body, even her hair and nails, they were all precious, even her own hair. It also cannot be abused.

Hey, a soft sigh escaped from his mouth, Li Man looked up at him, "Is it done?"

"Don't worry." Li Mo patiently pulled out her knotted strands of hair one by one, lest she accidentally break them. After combing this strand, she took it out again. Pick up the comb, sit behind her, first lift up a handful of hair, comb it slowly from the end of the hair, and then go up little by little, so that when combing down from the root of the hair, it will not be easy to tangle .

Li Man's hair is smooth and soft, and it feels very good in the hand. Therefore, whenever Li Man feels painful, when it comes to him, he just feels it is boundless enjoyment.

He loved her dark black hair.

The hair is smooth, and it doesn't hurt to comb it. Li Man's brows relaxed, and she silently enjoyed Li Mo's combing her hair.

As if time stood still, Li Mo sat quietly behind her, helping her comb, and waited until her long hair was dry before giving up.

"Man'er, go to sleep."

"Yeah." Li Man also yawned, and lay on his side in his arms. He was combing her so comfortably just now, and her mind was chaotic. At this moment, as soon as she lay down, she thought about Xiao Wu, raised her head slightly, and faced her. Li Mo's dark eyes.

"Brother, I want to tell you about Xiao Wu."

"En." Smelling the fragrance of her hair, Li Mo was a little distracted.

Li Man sighed softly, and said, "I think, Xiao Wu is already eleven, shouldn't we find him a home?"

"Oh." Such a warm and faint fragrance wrapped around his nose, and Li Mo snorted in a trance.

Seeing that he agreed, Li Man was immediately moved, "You think it's feasible, too? Then should we find a matchmaker, or ask an acquaintance to find out? I don't know whose girl is better, I think, it's best to know her." Braille."

In her opinion, Xiao Wu is still studying with her now, but in the first spring of next year, she still wants to send him to a regular academy to study, and his future daughter-in-law will naturally have to study some books, so that they can live together in the future. What about the common language?

Li Mo was slightly taken aback when he heard the word matchmaker, "Who will be the matchmaker?"

"Huh?" Li Man suddenly propped up her upper body, looked at Li Mo's dark and blurred eyes, and quickly pulled out her hair from his hands, "Did you not listen to me just now?"

Li Mo laughed dryly, "I see, that's right, I don't quite understand."

Not listening at all, Li Man simply sat up, "Brother, I want to tell Xiao Wu a daughter-in-law."

"What?" Li Mo was startled, and also sat up.

Seeing him like this, Li Man couldn't help being taken aback, "What's your expression? I want to tell Xiao Wu a daughter-in-law, but he's not yet old enough, so we can make a decision first."

"You? Why did you suddenly think of this?" Li Mo looked at her suspiciously, but he didn't agree with it in his heart. After all, they are a family of six. In the future, if Xiao Wu is separated, or another woman enters the house, it will be a big deal. Neither was what he wanted.

Li Man said, "Our Xiaowu is not young anymore, she is already eleven, I think Dayong Niang has already been recruited by Dayong, let's hurry up, otherwise the good girl will be robbed by others, thanks to Xiaowu."

"Man'er." Li Mo suddenly didn't know how to speak, she should know that Xiao Wu is also her husband-in-law.

"Even if we are not sure about it now, we can still pay attention to it. If we encounter something good, can't we just strike?" Seeing that his face was not right, Li Man softened.

"I'm afraid Xiao Wu won't agree to this matter." Li Mo didn't want to hit her, but told the truth anyway.

Li Man pouted, "He's still young, so it's a good time to cultivate relationships."

When she thought of the way he looked at her when she was talking to him today, she had goosebumps all over her body for no reason, and she really didn't dare to think about it.

"Let's talk about it later, next year he will go to school to study, and talking about it now is afraid he will be distracted." Li Mo wrapped his arms around her shoulders and took her into his arms, "It's getting late, let's go to sleep. "

"But..." Li Man felt a little uneasy, she had faintly felt Xiao Wu's strange feelings for her, which was very different from his clinging to her at the beginning.

"Brother, I'm afraid—"

"Man'er." Li Mo breathed heavily, and looked at her with dark eyes, "Don't think about it, I don't agree with this matter."

"Ah? Why?" I didn't expect Li Mo to reject him directly like this, which was unprecedented, but before she could ask the answer, someone had already blocked her mouth, and her thoughts were interrupted instantly.

——

At dawn, when Li Man turned over, Li Mo was no longer by her side, so she couldn't help but pursed her lips, and buried her face deeply in the pillow.

Probably because Li Xiangyu was here, Li Mo had to take care of it, and didn't dare to rely on her, so he got up early at dawn.

Li Man didn't want to wake up, she slept late last night and was also tired, so she hugged the pillow and fell asleep again.

——

Downstairs, while feeding the chickens, Li Xiangyu looked upstairs from time to time, cursing in a low voice: Lazy lady.

Li Mo came back after picking up two loads of water, and heard her scolding there, his handsome face darkened, but he ignored her, afraid that if he provoked her, he would attract more words.

The others also thought the same as Li Mo and ignored them.

Li Xiangyu pointed at Sang and scolded Huai all morning, but no one paid any attention to her, which made her feel bored.

When it was time to eat, Li Man hadn't come down yet, so she couldn't hold back, "Your wife is really the lady upstairs, can't you wait for someone to deliver the meal?"

"Man'er was tired yesterday." Li Mo simply replied.

"Tired? Are you tired of washing and cooking?" Besides that, she didn't see her doing anything else.

Li Mo was impatient and blurted out, "I'm tired of her."

As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of the brothers in the family immediately fixed on his face.

But Li Xiangyu was confused for a moment, didn't think about that level, just thought he was speaking for her again, "Hmph, you're pampering her again, you work in the fields all day, why are you tired of her? I think she is just lazy, I've slept until this time, and I can't even get up for breakfast."

Li Mo remained silent, and the others bowed their heads and ate their own food.

Li Xiangyu was extremely helpless, she just felt so powerless that her fist was empty, "You guys, this is not marrying a daughter-in-law, it is obviously marrying an ancestor."

"The ancestors are the ancestors, and we are willing to make sacrifices." Li Shu said coldly, how much Li Xiangyu hated Li Man, they loved Li Man so much in their hearts, and they were afraid that they would wrong her by making sacrifices like this.

Li Xiangyu was choked, only took a few mouthfuls of porridge, then dropped the bowl, and said angrily, "Okay, I'll leave in a while, I know, you brothers have more of me."

"It's just right, I'm going to the town in a while, and I'll send you a piece." Li Yan was not polite. Last night, he had already asked Xiao Wu about everything during the day. Although Li Man didn't suffer, but I can't tolerate Li Xiangyu's abuse again and again, why should she? A serious mother-in-law is not even considered, she is just an aunt...

He just hates that she likes to manipulate people's temperament. Back then, she was like this to their parents because she was her elder sister. Now, she still wants to do this to them, which is annoying.

Li Xiangyu's face was blue and white, and his face shook a few times in anger, but he didn't answer, and went out straight away.

When I came here, I told everyone that my nephews are now promising, so I will take her, the eldest girl, back to her natal home for a short stay. If she is driven back after only one night, what will she do in the future?

So, holding back his breath, Li Xiangyu honestly went back to his room.

As soon as she left, the brothers couldn't stop them from talking.

Li Shu looked at Li Mo complaining, "Brother, why are you tired of your wife again? She moved house yesterday, and she did a lot of work, so you don't know how to take it easy at night."

Li Mo's face turned even darker, "Eat." He was also talking nonsense just now.

Li Shu didn't speak again, he hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of food, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and thought of going upstairs to see his wife, he was worried.

In fact, Li Man woke up too, but she was lazy and didn't want to move.

After Li Shu knocked on the door, he sat up, "I'll get up right away."

"Daughter-in-law." Li Shu pushed the door open and entered.

Li Man was changing her clothes, she hurriedly turned her back, fastened her belt, and then turned to him, "Have you all eaten?"

"Well, let me come and see you. Is there something wrong?" Li Shu keenly noticed that Li Man's little face was a little pale.

"No more." Li Man moved her arms, opened the curtain and got off the kang.

At this time, Li Yan also came over, and he naturally didn't believe that Li Mo would tire her out, and even if she was tired, she would sleep in sometimes, but she couldn't afford it until it was meal time.

So, he was also worried that she was not feeling well?

"How about it?"

Li Man smiled, "What are you doing? Hope I get sick?"

"What's the matter, as long as you're fine, breakfast is still hot, come down and eat." Li Yan said.

"Um."

The three went downstairs together.

Li Xiangyu hid at the door, seeing Li Man sandwiched between Li Yan and Li Shu, being protected and protected like a princess, her heart felt like a needle.

——

Li Man was really sick. After eating a good breakfast, she suddenly vomited and felt nauseated, even drinking water.

The family immediately panicked, and Li Yan didn't care about going to town, so he carried Li Man on his back, and the family hurried to find Uncle Xu.

Li Xiangyu couldn't figure out the situation at all, she only knew that there was a commotion in the kitchen for a while, and then, when she came out, there was no one in the house, and she was stunned.

Besides, here, Li Man also felt extremely uncomfortable. Apart from throwing up after eating in the morning, her body also gradually became hot, as if being burned by fire.

When she got to Uncle Xu's side, she couldn't hold on anymore, and she directly lay down on the bed.

Li Mo and the others were so frightened that they all lost color. Fortunately, Uncle Xu found out the illness after some diagnosis and treatment. Then, he asked Aunt Xu to stay and take care of Li Man. He called the brothers outside and told them about the illness. .

False pregnancy! ! !

When the brothers heard this word, their hearts twitched. Why is there a fake pregnancy?

Xu Bo patiently explained to them that it may be that women have some pregnancy-like symptoms because of their deep desire to conceive, but in fact, they are not pregnant at all.

After listening, Li Mo and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling anxious and aching in their hearts.

What is urgent is Li Man's illness, what hurts is that she wants a child so much, but they can't give her.

Seeing their dejected looks, Uncle Xu smiled relaxedly, "Don't worry, I just saw her body is much better than the last time I saw her. I think, with more adjustments, if you want to have a child in the future, you won't something wrong."

"Really?" Li Mo and the others immediately opened their eyes, full of hope.

"Of course, I can still lie to you, but you have to let things happen to your child, you can't force it, and don't put too much pressure on her. It's more difficult when the pressure is too much." Xu Bo persuaded.

"we know."

In fact, how dare they put pressure on her, even, they dare not talk to her about their children, and Li Man has always been quite calm. It turns out that she has always had such pressure in her heart, but they have carelessly ignored it.

——

In the room, after resting, Li Man gradually turned around, and after Aunt Xu told her the eavesdropped information pasted at the door, for no reason, she also felt a lot more awake.

False pregnancy? Missing kids too much?

Li Man was also a little puzzled, she obviously didn't think that way anymore, could it be that Aunt Li mentioned it to her a few days ago? Did she unconsciously regard it as pressure?

However, in any case, Uncle Xu said that her condition has improved, and it will be fine to have children in the future.

At noon, Aunt Xu and Uncle Xu cooked for himself and left the family for lunch.

Li Mo and the others didn't refuse. Fortunately, Li Man was fine, and everyone was relieved. The meal was quite enjoyable.

But Li Xiangyu at home couldn't take it anymore. She didn't know and went in, thinking that the family was hiding out to hide from her, and finally couldn't get angry, sitting in the yard, rolling around and cursing.

Some people working on the back mountain side ran over when they heard the sound.

Li Xiangyu couldn't help it, and told others about Li Man's outrageous things.

Can't live a life, take care of one's own man, eat too much and be lazy, sleep until breakfast is over, and so on.

Describe Li Man as a person who has nothing but his face.

He also said that Li Man urged their brothers to be unfilial, and when they saw her coming, they all left, neglected her, and deliberately used this method to drive her away.

In the village, there are also a few people who are good with Li Man. For example, Aunt Li came to persuade her that Li Man is not that kind of person.

In this way, Li Xiangyu cried even more fiercely, and said that she didn't see it with her own eyes. Li Man didn't recognize her as an aunt at all, and even poured boiling water on her...

Just as she was crying and making noise, Li Mo and his family came back with Li Man on his back.

The onlookers in the yard immediately stepped aside consciously.

Li Xiangyu was stunned, why did she come back behind her back?

Aunt Li hurried forward, seeing Li Man's pale face, and asked, "Man'er, what are you doing? Are you sick?"

"It's okay, I've seen the doctor." Li Man's voice was still weak.

Li Mo said, "Aunt Li, Man'er is not feeling well, I'll send her upstairs to rest first."

"Go, go." Aunt Li hurriedly said, then turned to look at Li Xiangyu who was still sitting on the ground, and sneered, "Your niece and daughter-in-law are sick, and you are still sitting here scolding her for arranging her. Is it?"

"Me?" Li Xiangyu was also confused, sick? Why did she get sick? Didn't she look fine when she went downstairs? "Who knows, that little hoof must have seen me pretending to be sick. Huh, she was sick when I came here. This is for me to see."

"Auntie, if you have nothing to do, go home and take care of your cousins." Li Yan said bluntly, what's the trouble in his house?

Li Xiangyu was stunned.

Li Hua couldn't see it, and said, "Man'er was not feeling well in the morning, and she vomited all the food she ate. We also took her to see the doctor just now."

"Look at the doctor, the whole family is going." Leaving her at home alone, can she prevent her from misunderstanding? Can this happen without misunderstanding?

At this moment, the onlookers probably guessed what was going on, and they all said that her aunt was mean, and that she didn't care about her niece and daughter-in-law's illness, but she was still making trouble with others, which made her look like a human being inside and out.

"I was in a hurry at the time, so I didn't care so much. But, aunt, what are you crying about here? Who offended you?" Li Shu asked intentionally.

Li Xiangyu's face was purple, and she quickly got up, patted the dust off her buttocks, and pointed at the onlookers, "You all go out, what are you going to look at at other people's houses? Hurry up, hurry up."

"Hey, his aunt, didn't you just cry and shout, let us help to reason and be fair? Now you are driving us away again?" Everyone laughed.

"That's right, his aunt, can you be kinder? It's hard for their brothers to marry a daughter-in-law, and it's such a good wife. It's hard to find even with a lantern. You, stop messing around and ruin their family Son, what good can you get?" Aunt Li said bluntly.

Li Xiangyu held a bad breath in her throat, and said in a muffled voice, "You don't need to meddle in your own business, just go and go, go."

She started waving people away.

Those people had seen enough excitement, so they were naturally too lazy to stay and be scolded, and then dispersed.

Li Yan and the others also stopped talking to Li Xiangyu. This incident made them feel that this aunt was unreasonable and it was time to let her cool off. So everyone went upstairs to visit Li Man.

Downstairs, Li Xiangyu was left alone in the yard soon, and his liver ached with anger.

Look, they all left her alone, and said they didn't target her on purpose? She is their eldest aunt, who has taken care of them since childhood, a group of white-eyed wolves.
