Fortunate Wife

The topic jumped too fast, Zhao Yun'er seemed unable to react, and looked at Li Man blankly with big eyes, "Huh?"

"Didn't you say you have something to talk to me?" Li Man reminded.

Zhao Yun'er said 'oh' and smiled, "I don't have anything special, I just want to talk to my sister-in-law casually. Heh, sister-in-law, don't delay your rest?"

She obviously intended to be close and flattering, Li Man smiled silently, "It's okay, I've had a full nap in the morning, and I'm in good spirits now."

In the bedroom in the morning, the warm scene of Li Man nestling in Li Hua's arms caught Zhao Yun'er off guard like a thorn.

"Heh." Zhao Yun'er laughed dryly, looking around the room, only boasting that the layout is good, Li Man has taste and so on.

Li Man smiled and said nothing, and soon, the atmosphere fell into a certain awkward situation again.

Zhao Yun'er noticed Li Man's indifference, and she was already unhappy in her heart, but if she left here, she would have to go back to the old house, facing the earthen wall and earth kang, which is really a bad heart, not to mention that she wants to improve the relationship with Li Man. relationship? If Li Man can finally be persuaded that she wants to enter Li's house, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

"Sister-in-law." After thinking for a while, Zhao Yun'er finally mustered up the courage, and said with a gentle smile, "I think sister-in-law looks really good, among the people I have met, there is no one more beautiful than sister-in-law. "

Women, most of them would be in a good mood when they heard people praise themselves for their good looks. Zhao Yun'er chose this beginning and thought she would not go on a business trip, but Li Man just snorted softly, obviously not very interested in it.

Zhao Yun'er felt cold in her heart, but the smile on her face became more and more like a flower, "In the future, if my little niece is like you, she must be so beautiful."

Li Man's eyes darkened, and she snorted, "It's not like I can be beautiful, my man is not ugly."

This is the truth, but isn't it too tactful to say it so directly? Zhao Yun'er, who was supposed to be joking and flattering, was made a little bit unbearable by her.

"What about you, sister?" Seeing her stunned, Li Man asked back.

Zhao Yun'er didn't understand, "What am I?"

"I heard you're eighteen?" Li Man looked away from her face and said with a smile, "It's time to start a family."

Zhao Yun'er blushed, bowed her head shyly, "Sister-in-law..."

shy? Why was he so shameless when he stared straight at Li Mo? Li Man's smile didn't reach her eyes, and said directly, "Since you call me sister-in-law, I naturally have to help you with your affairs. I will go to Aunt Li's house in a while and ask her to secure a matchmaker for you—"

"Ah, no." Zhao Yun'er was shocked, "I don't want to marry." To be precise, she didn't want to marry someone else. She finally fell in love with the Li family. The men in this family and the living conditions of this family are rarely suitable. Her heart, even, for this reason, she can tolerate being with Li Man.

Li Man was also surprised, "Not getting married? Girl, are you serious?"

Zhao Yun'er bit her red lips and turned white, "Sister-in-law, I just came back, I don't want to..."

"Oh." Li Man said with a look that I understood, and suddenly smiled, "Don't you already have a sweetheart? Oh, that's right, you are eighteen, and you are not a child. You should know what you should know. gone."

"..." Zhao Yun'er was startled by what she said, her face turned pale, "Sister-in-law, I don't have one."

"Hey, you don't have to be shy in front of me. Tell sister-in-law if your parents don't agree?" Li Man followed the persuasion and seemed to be very enthusiastic about her matter. However, because of Zhao Yun'er's reaction, she had some doubts in her heart.

It's normal for an ordinary girl, at the age of eighteen, to be asked about marriage, right? She is shy, but if she looks pale with fright, then there is something wrong.

It's not that there is something wrong with her body, then, there is something wrong with her questioning just now.

By the way, what did she ask just now?

She already has a sweetheart?

Li Man's mind was fixed on this sentence, but she stared at Zhao Yun'er with a smile in her eyes. She decided in her heart that something must be wrong with Zhao Yun'er. Should she check this girl's background?

Almost twenty years apart, what won't happen? So what if there was an old friend? After all, she has lived in the complicated modern society for thirty years, and she is still suspicious in her bones, and she refuses to trust people easily.

She decided to check the details of Zhao Yun'er's family.

Zhao Yun'er panicked from being stared at by her. It was strange to say that Li Man looked soft and delicate, and her black Lulu eyes were as clear and clean as a child's. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be scary, but Zhao Yun Er was stunned but didn't dare to look at her, and even had a thin layer of sweat on his palms.

She was unwilling, but she couldn't help but turn her eyes away, shaking her head as if powerless, "Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me, it's really nothing, if you don't believe me, just ask my parents."

"Oh." Li Man held back her smile in disappointment, and said regretfully, "How could it happen? Yun'er is so beautiful, it's not easy to find a good husband's family? Why did it take so long?"

"Oh." Zhao Yun'er hated this topic, so she acted coquettishly, "Sister-in-law, let's not talk about this, it's embarrassing."

Li Man shrugged her eyebrows and did not continue.

Zhao Yun'er calmed down her overly nervous heart a little, and slowly calmed down, before turning the topic to Li Man, "Speaking of which, I really envy my sister-in-law."

Li Man felt that many people would envy her current life, so her words were not surprising.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Zhao Yun'er was not reconciled, looked at a few books on the top cabinet, and asked, "Are these books read by my sister-in-law? My sister-in-law is really good, and she can read and recognize characters?"

"It's so-so, just to pass the time. Do you want to watch it?" Li Man said casually.

Zhao Yun'er pursed her lips, "I can't do it. When I was young, I learned from my brother for a few days, but I couldn't bear that temper, so it would be nice to be able to write my own name. I'm afraid they recognize me in these books. , I don't recognize them."

Afterwards, she thought it was funny and laughed.

Li Man really finds these topics boring, and Zhao Yun'er is really contrived, whether it's the lip curling from time to time when she speaks, or the sudden giggles.

She didn't smile, Zhao Yun'er was also embarrassed, pursed her lips, and suddenly didn't know what to say. She found that Li Man was very different from the people she used to get along with. Should it be said that she was not smooth enough and didn't understand the world, or Said that she thought highly of herself and didn't want to communicate with her at all?

Zhao Yun'er felt that it was the latter, she was slighted.

She was a little annoyed, "Sister-in-law, do you hate me?"

Li Man smiled, "Why do you ask that?" She didn't answer directly.

Zhao Yun'er looked annoyed, "I know, our family has caused a lot of trouble for my sister-in-law this time."

If it's just like this, it's not worth being hated by people. The most annoying thing is to ask for gifts from others with peace of mind, and even covet things that don't belong to you.

"What are your plans for the future?" Li Man asked.

Zhao Yun'er choked, and she couldn't understand Li Man. Usually people said this, shouldn't the parties have to clarify? At least to save face, I will comfort her a few words, saying that there is no trouble or anything, and let her not think too much about it.

But Li Man skipped it directly, which meant it was obvious that they did cause her trouble.

Future plans? That is to marry into the Li family no matter what, so as to guarantee the life of their family of three.

But how could he say this directly to Li Man.

Zhao Yun'er faltered and hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

Li Manxiu frowned slightly, "Your brother kicked you and your parents out?"

"Ah?" Zhao Yun'er didn't understand why Li Man's thoughts jumped so fast, so she asked her what she planned to do, and it jumped to her brother again? However, she immediately put on a sad look, nodded with red eyes, and explained, "My brother used to be very good, but since he married his sister-in-law, he disliked me so much. Mother doesn't care anymore."

"Really? My country of Great Yan values ​​filial piety the most. Who would have thought that there would be such a conscientious, rebellious and unfilial person?" Li Man showed a look of indignation.

Zhao Yun'er sighed, "It doesn't matter if you don't talk about these things."

"Why didn't you sue the officials?" Li Man asked.

Zhao Yun'er was stunned, "Sue the officer? Oh, no, he is my real brother anyway."

"But you were kicked out." Li Man reminded.

Zhao Yun'er showed a sad look, "Even so, he is still my elder brother. Once he sues the official, he will be ruined. I can't."

"You are very affectionate." Li Man nodded, but to Zhao Yuner's ears, these words were clearly full of sarcasm.

——

After some chatting, each explored.

Zhao Yun'er realized that Li Man was not as easy to deal with as she thought. On the contrary, she was hostile to him, and it was very difficult to break through from her side.

Li Man, on the other hand, became more and more suspicious of Zhao Yun'er. After all, with Aunt Zhao's shrewd efforts, she was kicked out of the house by her son and daughter-in-law.

The atmosphere of the conversation also gradually faded, Zhao Yun'er was unimpressed, saying that she had to go back to the old house to pack things, so she went back first.

After Li Man waited for her to leave, she breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Yun'er tested her. She knew it very well, but it was a bit funny how this ancient woman thought.

Just like watching "Dream of Red Mansions" back then, the attackers in it also went to explore Daiyu's tone.

Now, Zhao Yun'er seems to want to start with her.

However, how could it be possible, no matter in modern or ancient times, she would never allow other women to intervene in her family.

——

At dinner time, Li Xiangcao and Li Man cooked the meal, and the family sat around together. Li Xiangyu suddenly put on a straight face and asked Li Mo directly, "Why didn't you call Uncle Zhao's family?"

Li Mo just lowered his head to eat, and didn't talk to him.

Li Xiangyu put down the chopsticks, frowned tightly, "Your family..."

"Elder Sister." Li Xiangcao was afraid that she would have an attack, so she quickly stopped her, "Uncle Zhao is not from the same family as us, so we can't invite him for every meal, right?"

"Why are you all so cold-blooded? Isn't he in trouble now?" Li Xiangyu said angrily.

Li Yan pursed his lips, "Wouldn't it be more useful to go to the government in trouble like theirs?" When he came back, Li Man dragged him back to the room alone, and told him all her suspicions, which he thought was very reasonable.

"Government?" Li Xiangyu couldn't think of that level, "Why are you looking for the government?"

Li Yan explained too much to her lazily, even if she explained, Li Xiangyu is so stubborn, the more you explain, the more paranoid she will find all kinds of reasons.

"The aunt thinks that from now on, our family will be in charge of Uncle Zhao's family? Birth, old age, sickness and death?"

The question was direct and sharp, and Li Xiangyu was stopped by the question, and said, "I didn't say I let you take care of it for the rest of my life, didn't they just come back yesterday?"

In fact, she thought, if Zhao Yun'er married into the Li family, Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao would be Li Mo's father-in-law and mother-in-law, so it would be appropriate to live with them. Besides, they are not too old to help Li Mo and the others. Do work, even if you have children in the future, you can help me.

It's just that it's obviously not the right time to speak these words.

"Auntie, how long do you want us to take care of it? How?" Li Yan put down the bowl and chopsticks, and asked directly.

Li Xiangyu's complexion changed, "You child, why do you ask like that? Let's talk about things later, let's talk about the present first."

"Same." Li Hua also said at this time, "Auntie, I saw yesterday that they only brought back some changes of clothes, and nothing else besides that."

"They have everything they want, why do they want you?" Li Xiangyu said it as a matter of course.

Li Mo raised his head, "So what? How do you think you can help?"

Seeing these brothers targeting him at the same time, Li Xiangyu was so angry that he said, "What are you doing? Do you think I'm meddling? If it weren't for your Uncle Zhao's family being nice to your parents before, I wouldn't send them away." Bring it, besides, now that your life is better, don’t you see no one in your eyes? No wonder people often say that once a person has money, his mind will turn bad.”

"Do you want to eat?" Li Man suddenly slapped the chopsticks on the table, and Li Man shouted coldly, his gloomy face startled the few people who were arguing at the table.

"Man'er?" The brothers looked at Li Man cautiously.

Li Man stared at Li Xiangyu coldly, "If you always don't want to eat, you don't have to. If you think my stay at home doesn't suit you, you can leave."

"You, you?" Li Xiangyu pointed at her, trembling and speechless.

Li Xiangcao was also very surprised. Li Man spoke so harshly, and immediately supported Li Xiangyu's arm worriedly, fearing that she would lose control of her emotions and throw the table over.

According to Li Xiangyu's previous temper, it is completely acceptable.

Seeing that Li Xiangyu was trembling with anger and unable to speak, Li Man replied casually, "Did you see it? That's why you don't see anyone."

After a pause, he sneered again, "Of course, you don't see anyone in your eyes. You are much better than us. In your eyes, Uncle Zhao's family is much more important than us. If they don't come If we eat, we can’t eat? Are they? They are your relatives. For them, it doesn’t matter if we fall out with our family. Your nephews are cold-blooded and have no eyes. You are really for outsiders, and you are not afraid of ruining you What about the reputation of the nephews?"

Li Xiangyu paused, she just said it so casually, how could she think so much? Besides, how could she ruin her own nephews?

"Stop talking nonsense here."

"Really? Nonsense? Don't you know how scary rumors are, especially when they come from your aunt. It's even more poisonous."

After Zhao Yun'er's probing in the afternoon, Li Man was really angry, not only the Zhao family, but also Li Xiangyu.

If it was said that Li Xiangyu wanted to find another good woman for the Li family brothers, and wanted to take her position, it was okay to say that she was dissatisfied with herself, so naturally she wanted to find someone she was satisfied with, it was just selfishness, although she hated it, she could understand it.

But now, she clearly sees the Zhao family's problems, and they have ulterior motives, but Li Xiangyu actually dumped such a family to them? How much sincerity is it for Li Mo and the others? I'm afraid there will be more venting of personal anger.

Li Xiangyu's lips trembled, "I, I didn't say it outside. When people are angry, they talk nonsense, how can they take it seriously?"

"Not true? Then it's fake. Since it's fake, why do you pour such dirty water on your nephews? Cold-blooded, no one in your eyes, out of your mind?" Unceremoniously tearing his face.

Li Xiangyu was annoyed and angry, "Why don't I just say that? What do you want to do? Kill me?"

"I don't have that in mind." Li Man ignored her hysterical yelling and said directly, "You are the eldest aunt of this family anyway, and the elder brother's relatives. I won't do anything to you. However, your behavior has hurt I, I will not forgive you."

After saying these words, all the Li family brothers changed their faces, "Daughter-in-law, don't be angry. I will kick out that Zhao family right now." Li Shu hurriedly said.

"Sit down." Li Man pulled him, "Listen to me."

Li Xiangyu looked at the brothers, but they all looked at Li Man worriedly. She was at a loss, "What are you doing? Okay..."

"I'll give you two ways." Li Man didn't listen to her, and said directly, "One, if you still want to hear us call you auntie in the future, just settle down and don't worry about things you shouldn't care about, otherwise, don't worry about it." It’s my fault that I really don’t see anyone in my eyes.”

Li Xiangyu was stunned.

"Second, leave the Li family. In the future, if you don't have cold-blooded nephews and nephews like us, we don't dare to talk about you as an aunt."

"You want to sever ties with me?" Li Xiangyu's voice became sharp.

Li Man raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "See what you do?"

"You all think the same way?" Li Xiangyu looked at the others sadly.

Li Mo met her gaze, "Auntie, it's up to you whether you want to sever ties with us, isn't it?"

"You——" Li Xiangyu slapped the table angrily, "I just want you to help an old friend, and you all want to sever ties with me as a family, okay, okay, severing ties means severing ties, I'm leaving, Even if you beg me to come in the future, I will not come again."

Saying that, she kicked the stool, got up and walked out.

But it was dark outside, Li Xiangcao hurriedly pulled her back, "Eldest sister, please, stop making trouble."

"Didn't you see what I'm making trouble with? They all despise me. I'm gone, and you're all clean. Let your family live well." Li Xiangyu struggled to get out.

Li Xiangcao also said angrily, "Sister, is it the Zhao family's business to come and go? Are you really going to turn against us for the Zhao family?"

"Obviously you and I—" Li Xiangyu shouted angrily.

"Enough." Li Man stood up and stopped, "Little sister, let her go."

Li Xiangcao was taken aback, and actually let go of her hand, but soon thought of something, and hurriedly grabbed Li Xiangyu, after all, she was her biological sister, and she was worried about her sister.

"Man'er, eldest sister has such a temperament, don't be angry."

"Why am I not angry?" Li Man laughed, thinking she was soft and easy to bully? "She doesn't think of me as my niece, so why should I think of her as my aunt."

"No, nothing." Li Xiangcao hurriedly smoothed things over.

However, Li Xiangyu was not resentful of Li Man's arrogance, and shouted angrily, "I didn't consider you a nephew, what's wrong? Don't you think about it, you're a scumbag bought with money, why should I recognize you? Let you stay Being in the Li family is already a great favor, not only are you ignorant, but you also—”

"Enough." Li Mo's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he stared at Li Xiangyu sharply, "Second brother and third brother, go and call all the Zhao family over."

"Why?" Li Shu was puzzled, but Li Yan patted him on the shoulder, "Just follow me."

"What do you want to do?" Li Xiangyu's voice trembled a little, and it was the first time she saw Li Mo's frightening expression.

"Send you away." Li Mo didn't look at her again, but turned to look at Li Xiangcao, "Sister, go and pack up her things, don't leave anything behind."

Li Xiangcao was stunned, "Li Mo?" Afterwards, she hurriedly looked at Li Man, "Man'er, please persuade me. Li Mo, you can't, she is your aunt, what are you doing?"

Li Mo remained silent with a cold face, apparently his mind had been made up.

Li Xiangyu was also shocked, leaning against the door, her heart was pounding, and her mind was in a mess.

Li Xiangcao hurried over and asked Li Man, "Man'er?"

"Don't? I bought it for a penny, so my words don't carry that much weight." Li Man slapped Li Xiangcao's hand away, trying to get her to intercede, but there was no way.
