Fortunate Wife

Her eyes were bright, and she was smiling, as if she was afraid that he would not believe her, and she repeated it seriously, "Really, so mighty."

While speaking, he gave him a thumbs up.

Li Mo gently held her little hand, feeling warm and hurt in his heart, he did not do well, really not well.

When Li Xiangyu came here for the first time, he directly targeted Li Man. At that time, he only felt that the aunt did not understand Li Man's goodness. After getting along slowly, she would be like their brothers, and she would fall in love with Li Man out of control. sprawling.

But once, twice, three times—

Not only did Li Xiangyu not restrain herself, but she intensified it. Just like what she said, Li Man was bought with money, so she looked down on her from the bottom of her heart, and she also wanted to humiliate her seriously.

He couldn't imagine how much she would have abused Li Man if their brothers hadn't been so protective.

But even so, Li Man was still injured, wasn't she?

"What's the matter? Are you unhappy?" Seeing that he was silent, Li Man pursed her lips and looked at him with aggrieved eyes, "Is it because you sent your aunt away?"

"If you're sad, go and invite her back." Li Man suddenly sat up and said with her back to him.

The generous chest was suddenly pressed against the back, and she was hugged tightly by him. His low voice full of self-blame rang in her ears, "I'm just sad, I didn't protect you properly."

Li Man's heart skipped a beat, her body gradually relaxed, she leaned against his chest, stretched her hand around his neck, and gently stroked his chin.

*, His beard stubble has grown a lot again, and it is densely stuck on his hands, itching and very comfortable.

"Brother, you did a good job." With her head raised, her delicate cheeks gently rubbed against his chin, her heart was full of joy.

She never thought that Li Mo would directly drive Li Xiangyu and the Zhao family away because of her, and he would not procrastinate at all overnight, which was really rare for him.

It can be seen how much she holds in his heart.

This is enough.

He can do this for her, and she can forgive some shortcomings in the process.

The body was hugged even tighter, Li Mo's chin rested on her slender shoulder, allowing her to rub against him, he liked her to rub against him like a cat.

"By the way, big brother, what do you usually use to shave?" Li Man turned around suddenly, facing him, stroking the stubble on his chin with her delicate fingertips, and asked curiously.

Li Mo met her curious eyes and smiled softly, "Blade."

"Blade?" Li Man thought, is it similar to a modern razor? It seems that I have been with them for so many days, and I have never seen how they shave.

She feels that when a man shaves, he will also reveal a different kind of sex appeal, "The next time you shave, let me see."

Li Mo was taken aback, a suspicious blush appeared on his cheeks, "Okay."

Satisfied, Li Man arched her small body in his arms twice, found a comfortable position, and asked softly, "Are you sleepy?"

Li Mo shook his head.

"Then—" Through the back window, Li Man looked at the lush greenery on the back hill, and asked slowly, "Tell me about your parents, okay?"

"..." Li Mo's mind went blank for a moment, and then, fragments of memory slowly poured in.

"Okay." He whispered softly. There was a time when he refused to think about the past between his parents, because the memories before their death were too good. Time did not dare to touch it, but only dared to seal it up quietly.

Even, for a long time, his emotions were more of hatred.

He hated his father, his mother, his aunt, and even himself.

Now, ten years later, those complicated emotions in the past have gradually faded away, and what is left are only some sporadic fragments. The beautiful and painful ones seem to go with the wind like the past, and have nothing to do with him. .

After the "OK", there was no sound. Li Man waited for a long time, but did not listen to him. She secretly laughed, thinking that Li Mo must not know where to start, or was annoyed at how to word.

Yes, he is such a person who is not good at speaking or leading topics.

"Mother, she must be beautiful, right?" Li Man looked up at him and offered to help him start.

"Yeah." Li Mo nodded, "Very beautiful, she is like you, she loves cleaning very much, no matter what she does, she will clean herself neatly."

"Oh?" Li Man expressed interest and motioned him to continue.

Xu thought of something interesting, and Li Mo's eyes had soft emotions, "Every piece of her clothes is washed clean, even if it's that kind..."

Xu Shi thought of something he shouldn't say, he stopped suddenly, his face flushed with embarrassment.

Li Man looked up at him strangely, "What kind?"

"That's just—" Li Mo wasn't sure if Li Man knew about women's menstruation, because she hadn't been here so far, so he just said vaguely, "When it's inconvenient, my father will help you." She washed her clothes, but she was still worried, so she had to boil hot water and wash it twice. Every time, when Dad saw her like this, he felt distressed and helpless, and he chattered and coaxed her endlessly. "

When I think of such a scene, my mother is sitting on a small stool rubbing her clothes, and my father is squatting next to her, trying to reach out to wash it but dare not, but seeing my mother washing it by herself makes her heart ache, the helpless look of scratching her head is really interesting very.

Think about when my father was young, he was a well-known prickly young man in the village, with great strength, he could also kick a wolf to death like him, but such a powerful and tall man was born in front of his mother. She's like a little daughter-in-law.

Li Man also giggled, and she could also imagine such a picture, "Mother is so amazing, Dad... you really * her?"

She remembered that when Li Xiangyu came for the first time, she seemed to have scolded her like Li Mo's mother.

"Yeah." Li Mo nodded.

Li Man suddenly thought of something, "You said before that you have three...fathers?"

"Yeah." Li Mo nodded again, his eyes hurt a little.

"Then you guys." Li Man lay on her side so that she could better see Li Mo's expression. She was afraid that she would ask something she shouldn't, so she acted according to his expression.

As if guessing what she wanted to ask, Li Mo smiled lightly, "I want to ask how do we know who our real father is?"

"Cough..." Li Man nodded embarrassingly. In fact, she is also in a dilemma. In the future, she will definitely have a baby, but their lives are connected together. What will she do? Can you tell who the child belongs to?

"Actually, I'm not very clear about his appearance. The fourth younger brother in the family looks like my mother the most. According to my mother."

"Huh?" There was no sound behind him again, Li Man followed up and asked, but saw him shaking his head, "She doesn't know either."

Pfft——, isn't it? "Then how do you divide?"

"Anyway, the five of us are the children of the three of them." Li Mo replied.

The corners of Li Man's eyes twitched, that's fine, well, that's fair, I don't know which one is her own, so naturally, she kisses both of them.

"What's more, your parents--" After holding back, Li Man finally couldn't hold back, and asked the doubts that had been hidden in her heart for a long time, "How did you die?"

The color of Li Mo's eyes darkened, and the coldness that gradually appeared in the bottom of his eyes made Li Man almost regret asking this question.

"if......"

"That year, Mother was pregnant with Xiao Wu." Li Mo said slowly, his slightly sad eyes slowly looked towards a green back mountain, where his parents were buried somewhere.

"My mother is weak, and it was very painful when she was pregnant with Xiaowu, almost to the point where she couldn't get off the kang. My aunt came back from the town and took care of my mother."

Having said that, Li Mo paused again, but Li Man could faintly guess something from his gloomy expression.

Li Xiangyu, even if you work non-stop all day, she still has to be picky, and Li Mo's mother was pregnant with a child at that time, lying on the kang every day, Li Xiangyu must not be used to it.

Sure enough, Li Mo said again, "Auntie, you know that she has a broken mouth and loves to chatter, and my mother is also a strong one. She just wants to do everything by herself, so I don't need my aunt. A bit of a situation."

"Premature birth?" Li Man said in her heart, pregnant people are most afraid of getting emotional, and Li Mo Niang could only lie on the kang to raise the baby at that time, and she could already imagine how weak it would be.

Thinking of that chaotic snowy night, Li Mo only felt a severe headache, "That year, the snow was too heavy, my mother left home in a fit of anger, my father was going crazy, and my aunt was crying too. Everyone went out to look for it, but...mother was found, father..."

"What's wrong with your father?" Li Man grasped his hand tightly, looked at his flushed eyes, and already guessed it, but even if there was a danger, how could his three fathers be at the same time? She couldn't figure it out.

On the morning of the third day after Li Mo Niang was found, the villagers found the three brothers and Er Shun's father at the bottom of a mountain stream.

Er Shun's father and Li Mo's father grew up together, although their temperaments were mixed, but they were righteous. At that time, only the four of them dared to go to the deep mountain, and in the end...

According to the people who brought their bodies back, there were monsters at the bottom of the mountain stream. When they went down, they didn't do anything, and they felt short of breath and confused. Finally, a few young and strong people tied the rope to the four The person's waist, and then quickly climbed up.

But even so, there were still two who didn't climb up and fell halfway. The people on the top pulled these people up like a relay.

But Li Mo's father and Er Shun's father were already cold and stiff. It is said that the two juniors who fell down halfway were sick for a long time before recovering after returning.

So, later, when the eldest aunt saw her father's body, she couldn't bear it, and vented all her anger and accusations on her mother, thinking that it was her mother who harmed her father. If she hadn't run away from home, my father would not have died.

The mother moved her fetus and had a dystocia. In the end, Xiao Wu was born and the mother left.

That year, the Li family was filled with deep sadness.

Later, it was also said that the Li family was in bad luck, four members died in a row, and even Er Shun's father, who had a good relationship behind the house, was restrained, so the villagers gradually alienated their family.

Later, when the brothers grew up, ominous rumors still hung over their home.

If they can't marry a daughter-in-law, the poor family is naturally the reason, but this ominous shadow is also the reason why many families dare not marry their daughters to their families.

Knowing the cause and effect, Li Man remained silent for a long time, but hugged Li Mo tightly.

Li Mo did the same, tightening his arms and hugging her tightly.

Father and mother's past, thought that they had almost forgotten with the passage of time, but when they recalled it again, they still remembered it so clearly.

He hated his father before, so why couldn't he take better care of his mother, knowing that his mother couldn't bear the slightest grievance, why did he still ask his eldest aunt to come over?

He also hated his mother, why can he be so self-willed? In the snowy sky, she dared to abandon her father, her brothers, and leave home weakly alone. Even if she couldn't bear a little bit of grievance, she could quarrel with her father, but why did she choose such an extreme way?

He hated his eldest aunt even more. Ever since he could remember, his eldest aunt and mother have always been at odds. She is not satisfied with what mother does. Naturally, mother doesn't take her words seriously at all, and does her own way.

The mother is also a pungent, although she looks beautiful and slender, she has the strongest temper, so small she fights with the eldest aunt, but she does not lose the wind, but the eldest aunt who bites and yells.

Yes, my mother is self-willed and sometimes unreasonable, but when a woman is pregnant with a child, the worst thing is that she is on the verge of collapse, both mentally and physically. It is an outlet for revenge, and it is stimulated when Jianiang is at her weakest.

But what's the use of hating, father and mother still went, leaving only their brothers.

That year, he was just thirteen years old, the second brother was the same age as Xiao Wu now, only ten years old, the third brother was eight years old, the fourth brother was seven years old, Xiao Wu was born, and he didn't even know how to cry.

——

No need to ask, you can know how hard their brothers have been through these years. Li Man took a deep breath, suppressed the sadness in her heart, and looked up at the back mountain, "Are they buried in that mountain?"

"En." Li Mo snorted lightly, with a strong nasal voice.

Li Man held his hand, looked into his eyes, and said softly, "Dong Zhi, take me to meet them."

"Okay." Li Mo stroked her hair gently.

He didn't want to think about the matter of his parents for many years, but now that he has his own daughter-in-law, he will definitely not let the past happen again.

——

Later, under Li Man's soft coaxing, Li Mo still lay down and fell asleep, perhaps with her by his side, he slept extraordinarily peacefully.

——

Life gradually got back on track, and the unhappiness between Li Xiangyu and the Zhao family had long been worn down by life.

Li Man is very satisfied with today's life.

The business in the shop was good. Li Yan personally found some workers to produce the sewing machines. He tried 20 sewing machines first, and Li Man went to Zhang Mansion to teach the female workers how to use them.

Those female workers were reluctant at first, and they always felt that the craftsmanship they had practiced for many years could be replaced by such a lump of wood.

Until Li Man personally demonstrated a piece of clothing, from cutting to stitching, it took less than an hour for a finished piece of clothing, and if they used to do it by hand, it would take at least half a day for such the simplest piece of clothing.

Look at the stitching again, it is fine and even, it is slightly better than their handwork.

Only then did these female workers follow suit with disappointment and anticipation.

At the beginning, they did not learn well. They either missed stitches or knotted the fabric, and some even hurt their hands when they were pricked by needles.

For this reason, Li Man came to Zhang's mansion every day for ten consecutive days to help guide them, and then slowly let them get used to it, and the clothes they made became faster and better.

On this day, Mrs. Zhang personally brought her maids here, just to see how wood can make clothes better than people. After seeing the clothes made by those female workers with wooden sewing machines, she was really amazed.

"It's the first time I've seen clothes like this in my old age, and the clothes are well made."

Li Man laughed, in fact, this simple sewing machine is quite bulky, and it often jams the needles. It is incomparable with modern technology, but, how should I put it, it is better than nothing, and it is much faster than manual work.

"I heard that you made this thing?" Mrs. Zhang asked while holding her hand.

Li Man helped her to go out, smiling slightly, "Actually, it doesn't count, I just thought about it, the most important thing is, Li Yan is smart, and Zhang Benzhang, as soon as I draw it, they will draw it." Understood, even a lot of details are thought of by them, I don't understand."

The fact is also the same. In many places, she only talked about the idea and principle, and Li Yan helped her solve the specifics.

"Then you are still smart, they won't be able to figure it out." Mrs. Zhang pointed at the female worker who was making clothes in the room, jokingly.

Li Man also laughed, "That's because they make clothes every day, so they didn't think about that."

"Then you're still smart." The old lady always thought that Li Man was good, and patted her hand and said, "When I come to my house every day, I'm busy with them. I don’t need you anymore, how about it? It’s time to spend some time with my old lady, right?”

"Yes." Li Man nodded, and helped the old lady to the back garden.

Even though winter is coming and the world outside is bleak, the flowers and plants in this garden are still lush and green, very beautiful.

The two chose a leeward pavilion to sit down, and a servant girl brought hot tea and snacks up.

The old lady was in good spirits. She ate a few pieces of snacks and chatted with Li Man a lot. Naturally, her eyes glanced at Li Man's stomach from time to time.

"Girl, your stomach...?" The old lady said half a sentence, left a half sentence, and stared at Li Man worriedly.

Li Man quickly swallowed her snacks, a little awkwardly, "Grandma, I'm still young." Hey, she was most afraid that people would mention the child to her, and she thought about it too, but it's a pity that her stomach didn't move no matter what, what should I do? Worry about people.

The old lady suddenly approached her, and smiled teasingly, "Could it be that those men of yours are...no?"

what! ! !

"Oh, it's not their problem." Li Man knows all too well whether Li Mo and the others can do it. Sometimes, she even wonders if they are too good at it and she is too weak. This situation today.

It's like, some things, if there are too many nutrients, they will go too far.

But after thinking about it, I felt that I was crazy, and I could come up with this kind of thought. She was not like plants like flowers and plants, who blindly fertilized and would die from overnutrition.

Hey--

In the final analysis, it was still her problem. Until now, my aunt hadn't been here yet.

In the previous life, she suffered from the pain when her aunt came. At that time, she felt that it would be great if she didn't have this thing. Now, she has been waiting for it for a long time. God, she also thinks that she had better not think about that , otherwise it will be abnormal.

The old lady laughed twice, "Really? They do this, so why are you——no movement."

Li Man rubbed her belly and pursed her mouth, "Let's resign ourselves to fate. Anyway, it's okay to have a baby before the age of thirty." And before she turns thirty, she still has more than ten years. Don't worry, she won't believe it. After so many years , she still can't afford a child.

She didn't believe that God would be so cruel. If there were no children in two lifetimes, she would dare to go directly to the underworld and chop up Lord Hades.

"Thirty?" The old lady was taken aback. "How old is that? Others are so old that they are about to hold grandchildren."

"I don't want to have a grandson so early." Li Man said.

The old lady smiled, waved to Guanshi Zhang outside the pavilion, and waited for her to come in, then whispered something in her ear.

Manager Zhang went out with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Li Man instinctively felt that what the two of them said just now had something to do with her.

The old lady didn't hide it from her, as if she was afraid that the maids outside the pavilion would hear, she lowered her voice, "Girl, I have a secret formula for conceiving a child, and I'll show it to you later."

"Eh?" It's another secret recipe for having a baby. Last time, Aunt Li came to her for this reason, because she didn't have a date of birth, and later she cut a strand of her hair, as well as Li Mo, Li Yan, Li Shu, and Li Hua. She didn't dare to let them know about it. She was afraid of being laughed at, so she secretly cut a strand while they were asleep, collected it and handed it to Aunt Li.

However, months passed without any results.

In fact, she didn't believe it at first, and she didn't have any expectations. She knew her own body well, how could she have a baby if her aunt didn't even come.

However, the old lady's eyes were full of excitement, "Girl, don't believe it, the five generations of the Zhang family have only passed on this secret recipe, and it will definitely work."

"Single pass?" Is it still useful? Li Man was thinking tangledly, if she only had one child, she was afraid that it would be even worse in the future.

If it is said that one is not born, the men will not embarrass her even though they are sad.

If she gave birth to one, it means that she can have a child, so will they let her go? I'm afraid they won't give up if they don't have one life, so how will she live in the future?

"Well, I'm sure to have a son." The old lady obviously didn't agree with her thinking. She felt that as long as a woman had a son, she would be guaranteed, and she didn't care how many she had.

Of course, according to Li Man's situation, it would be nice to have one, and I can't be so picky right now.

But Li Man felt that if she could have a baby, one would definitely not work. If the old lady's secret recipe could only guarantee a son, then after this son was born, her future life would definitely be chaotic, and she would be tossed by her husbands every day to have a baby. Boy, it's scary to think about it.

"I still don't want it." Li Man refused with a smile.

Guanshi Zhang brought over a bowl of soup at this time.

"Man'er, drink it first, it's delicious." The old lady directly asked Li Man to serve the soup.

Looking at the dark soup, which still exuded a smell of Chinese herbal medicine, Li Man frowned, "What kind of soup is this? It can't be medicine?"

"Oh, medicinal soup, stewed with black-bone chicken, smells bitter and tastes delicious, it's the most nourishing to eat in this season." The old lady said.

Li Man had no choice but to bring it over, took a sip, it tasted really good, and drank it all in one gulp, "It's not bad, it's delicious."

"That's all it is good to drink. It's not good if you drink too much of this stuff." The old lady said rather mysteriously, while pushing back Manager Zhang.

Li Man became more thoughtful, "Grandma, what I just drank just now must have been the secret recipe, right?"

"Well, yes." The old lady nodded, counting her fingers, and said with a smile, "I think, by this time next year, you should be able to hug the fat boy."

Li Man blushed, "Where is it so fast?"

"Don't you believe what my old lady said? Heh, let's see next year, what if we have it?" The old lady asked slyly.

Li Man also had the right to make the old lady happy about this incident that didn't happen at all, and said, "If it really happened, I'll take your grandson with me at worst, and I'll thank you later."

——

After talking and joking, Li Man didn't take it seriously. In the evening, she went home with Li Yan and Li Shu, ate, washed, and went to the kang as usual.

But in the middle of the night, suddenly there was a dull pain in the lower abdomen, and a hot current gushed out, which wet the base of the legs. Li Man was shocked and sat up suddenly, frightening Li Shu who was sleeping next to her.
