Chapter Ninety-Seven: Resolved
Since Xiao Wu cried a little, the next room was quiet for a while, and later, Li Xiangyu sighed and babbled something, the voice was not loud, and Li Man didn't hear it very clearly.
After about an hour, she finally heard the lotus flower shouting for dinner, and the movement in the next room was a little bigger.
To be honest, she waited until this time to eat, and she was already hungry, but if she went to the kitchen like this, she would definitely have to run into Li Xiangyu again, and perhaps, another dispute was inevitable.
It's not that she's afraid of things, but she hates such boring disputes, and she is also afraid that Li Mo will be difficult to do in the middle, besides, no matter how difficult Li Xiangyu is, it is impossible to live in the Li family permanently, she can't do it.
So, she didn't go with them, thinking that when they were finished, she would find something to eat and fill her stomach.
In the kitchen, Lotus diligently arranged the meal, and invited Li Xiangyu to the main seat, "Aunt, you taste this pig's head meat first, it's fragrant." ”
Li Xiangyu smiled and gave the lotus a look, "You also give you Brother Mo two pieces, last time, he said that he likes to eat." ”
"Whoa." The lotus flower agreed, and hurriedly took a large chopstick and put it in Li Mo's bowl.
Li Mo was not polite, and after thanking him, he sandwiched two more vegetarian dishes, filled the bowl, and got up to go out.
"Why are you going?" Li Xiangyu glared at him fiercely, clearly seeing his intentions.
Li Motou didn't reply, and answered vaguely, "I'll come over right away." He walked out quickly, knocked on the door of the Westinghouse, and called softly, "Man'er." ”
Li Man only thought that he had come to call him to eat, so he said, "You guys eat first." ”
"Aren't you hungry?" Li Mo had already pushed the door in, handing her a bowl full of food, "Eat it while it's hot, if it's not enough, I'll come back later." ”
Li Man got up and looked at the tall food piled up in the bowl with a smile, "You won't be serving me all the food, will you?" Are they enough? She cooked the rice, and she knew how much it was.
"You eat first." Li Mo smiled when he saw her, and also laughed with Hanhan.
Li Man was really hungry, and he was not polite, so he picked up the bowl and ate it, and when he saw that there were many pieces of thinly sliced pig's head meat, he picked up a piece and tasted it first.
"Well, it tastes good." I don't know if it was sincere or joking, she deliberately glanced at him, and said meaningfully, "The lotus girl's skills are indeed good. ”
The corners of Li Mo's lips curled slightly, his eyes were burning, and he said, "I still love to eat fish boiled by vines." ”
The deep meaning in these words was too obvious, Li Man lowered his head with a red face, and muttered, "Go and eat, I don't cook much at lunch."
Li Mo 'belched', and then went out.
In the kitchen, Li Xiangyu's dishes and chopsticks didn't move, she only stared at the door with a dark face, and when Li Mo returned, she immediately roared, "This is really a rare thing, if she doesn't come, you still take it." You're a gentleman too? ”
"Sister, you can't stop people from eating." Li Vanilla whispered on the side.
"Who won't let her eat?" Li Xiangyu roared angrily, "It's because she doesn't come by herself, and she still thinks that she is a daughter?" Do you have to eat with the gentlemen? Do you have rotten hands or broken feet? ”
"Auntie." Li Mo sat down, and the joy brought back from Li Man's house was instantly stimulated by Li Xiangyu's words, "Man'er is my daughter-in-law, even if she bought it, it is also my daughter-in-law." If she really breaks her hands and feet, what good will she do to her aunt? ”
Li Xiangyu was speechless for a while, and looked at Li Vanilla and Lotus blankly, "What did I say?" She even wants you to bring the food, I can't say a word? Is she so expensive? ”
Li Mo didn't speak, Li Vanilla hurriedly persuaded, "Sister, just say a few words, the relationship between the young couple is good, what do you have to do in the middle of this wicked person?" ”
"You say that about me too?" Li Xiangyu's contradiction suddenly pointed to her sister, "You all dislike me, right?" Vanilla, you said you made this situation today, who is to blame? Can't blame me? If you had listened to my advice back then, you would not have fallen to the point where you are today, being bullied by a second-room concubine every day, and even going back to your mother's house, I had to go there in person before you had to go out. ”
Li Vanilla was embarrassed, "Sister, what do you do when you say these things during dinner?" He handed her the chopsticks.
Li Xiangyu didn't answer, but said angrily, "I have to eat it too." ”
"Auntie, Man'er is a good girl, you just came here and don't know it, since she has become my Li family, I have to be responsible for her. As for not doing such things as making rules in the future, we don't care what other people's families do, and our family doesn't need it. Li Mo said very pertinently.
Li Xiangyu's face was pale and pale, "Are you blaming me for being nosy?" ”
"Auntie is well-intentioned, I understand." Li Mo said, personally picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, and handed them to her, "The food is cold, let's talk about it later, let's eat first." ”
Li Xiangyu saw that she didn't move her chopsticks, everyone could only watch dryly, especially Xiao Wu, the little guy was already hungry, so he had to take it, and then put some meat into Xiao Wu's bowl, "Come, Xiao Wu eat, let's eat a lot, don't give it to the white-eyed wolf." As he spoke, he glared at Li Mo fiercely.
Li Mo smiled helplessly, but he really didn't have a chopstick meat.
Seeing this, Lotus hurriedly grabbed another chopstick and meat to give him, "Brother Mo, there is more, you can eat more." ”
"I don't like to eat." Li Mo took the bowl and let it, but he didn't let the meat into the bowl.
The lotus flower stood up, and stretched out her arms, thinking that he was polite, and that she had to put the meat in his bowl.
Li Mo had an embarrassed face, so he had to take it, but he didn't eat it, and gave it to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, eat it." ”
"It's really a white-eyed wolf, and the lotus flower specially made it for you." Li Xiangyu said angrily, while letting the lotus sit down, "Don't clip him, I don't know what to do." ”
Li Mo didn't say anything.
Lotus was very distressed because Li Mo was scolded, "Aunt, don't talk about Brother Mo anymore." ”
Li Xiangyu snorted and laughed again, "Look at you, distressed?" ”
The black and red face of the lotus flower became even redder, and she put on another layer of oil paint, and snorted shyly, "Aunt." ”
"Okay, okay, I don't say it, can't I say it?" Although the promise was good, but as soon as he turned his face, Li Xiangyu said again, "Da Lang, how distressed do you think lotus flowers are?" I just said two words to you, and she protected you like this. Also, you eat her cooking, fragrant, right? Besides, the one in the house, that's a loser. Do you know the little jar of sesame oil I brought you this year? I know that that thing is expensive, and in previous years, you could eat it for a year, but I just looked, and guess what? It's all bottomed out. I dare say, this must have been eaten after she came, right? It's only been a few days, such a jar of sesame oil. ”
"I let her use it." Li Mo replied, "The fourth brother was at home a while ago, and he loves to eat this oil. ”
"If you love to eat, you can't eat it as a meal, it can be seen that she is also a person who has no success in her heart." Li Xiangyu pouted.
Li Mo buried his head in eating, and didn't say anything anymore, he knew that no matter what he said, she could be distorted into something else, but fortunately, Man'er was not there, and he couldn't hear such buried words.
Li Xiangyu also said a lot of things in the middle, but seeing that Li Mo couldn't admit it, he angrily took a few bites of rice and didn't say anything.
The meal was quite dull, but fortunately there was nothing else to do.
After the meal, the lotus took the initiative to clean up, and Li Mo and the others accompanied Li Xiangyu out, afraid that she would have other words to wait in the house, so she proposed to go to the newly bought land to have a look.
Li Xiangyu said yes, urging the lotus flowers to hurry up and go together.
The group soon went out, Li Man looked out from the window, the yard was quiet, and he breathed a sigh of relief, came out, got some pig food and chicken food, and fed the pigs and chickens.
Just after getting it done, Li Yan and Li Shu both came back.
Li Man was stunned, "You guys came back so early?" "Even if you work part-time for someone else, it seems that you don't finish until dark.
"You're fine, are you?" Li Shu hurriedly ran towards her, looking her up and down worriedly.
Li Man was inexplicable, "I don't have anything to do." ”
"Xiao Wu told us everything." Li Yan saw that she had nothing to do, so she smiled slowly, "Auntie embarrassed you as soon as she came, didn't you cry?" ”
"You're crying?" Li Man glared at him angrily, "You guys came back for this?" ”
Li Shu scratched his head, "Big brother called us back?" What about Big Brother? ”
"He's gone to the field, what did he tell you to do?" Li Man was puzzled.
Li Yan shrugged his eyebrows and said, "It's not for you." ”
Li Man was even more puzzled.
Li Yan glanced at Li Shu, "That black woman is here, she still wants to be a daughter-in-law for our family, you can do it." ”
"Zhilu Dao." Li Shu immediately understood that the eldest brother secretly asked Xiao Wu to find himself back.
Li Man looked at them with some concern, "What do you want to do?" "Look at the way Li Shu grinds his teeth, he wants to eat people?
"Go back to the house, don't peek at it for a while." Li Shu hurriedly took the bucket in her hand and pushed her into the house.
Li Man was really curious, what the brothers wanted to do.
But when she saw a group of people coming this way from afar, she still didn't ask, and it was better to go back to the house to rest than to listen to others count her own.
As soon as she entered the house, Li Shu looked around, and picked up the hoe in the corner of the house after the last time, and felt that it was quite handy, so she used it.
"Third brother, take it easy, don't really hurt anyone." Li Yan hurriedly whispered a word in his ear, and then, holding his waist with both hands, shouted loudly, "Third brother, what are you doing?" People are guests, we don't like it, and we don't need to hurt people. ”
"Don't hold it so tightly, I can't run on the rope." Li Shu turned around and said to him, seeing that the person had already entered the courtyard, he hurriedly raised the hoe and was about to hit it over there, "Second brother, you let go, that woman is too deceitful, Lao Tzu won't smash her to pieces this time, I won't be surnamed Li." ”
As he spoke, he shook his hand and broke away from Li Yan.
Li Yan sighed, stumbled, and didn't seem to hold him.
Li Shu really rushed out of the way, and smashed it towards the lotus with a hoe.
The lotus screamed in fright, and instinctively hugged Li Xiangyu on the side.
Li Xiangyu's face turned pale, and her mouth opened wide for a while, forgetting what she was going to say.
Li Mo broke the lotus's hand, pulled Li Xiangyu, and then scolded Li Shu, "Third brother, put it down." ”
Li Shu held a hoe in one hand and pointed to the lotus flower with the other, and said angrily, "Big brother, don't care, this woman can't teach you a lesson, last time we let us go to her house, we didn't agree, and today it's too much." Even if our brother is a bachelor for a lifetime, it is not uncommon for him to go to someone else's house to send someone under the fence, and in the future, the child will have someone else's surname, and he will always be a shrunken king. ”
Li Mo didn't speak with a calm face, just looked at Li Xiangyu.
Li Xiangyu hurriedly explained, "San Lang, it's wrong, it's wrong. ”
"Auntie, do you still say I'm wrong? If it's wrong, it's wrong, Lao Tzu will beat this woman to death. As soon as Li Shu was angry, the more he looked at the lotus, the more unpleasant he became, Xiao Wuke told him, she still wanted to beat her daughter-in-law, but fortunately she was stopped by the eldest brother, damn, I see that he didn't teach this stinky woman a good lesson today.
Li Shu was about to smash the hoe again, and the lotus ran all over the yard in fright, shouting, "Aunt, save me, aunt, tell him quickly, this time it's not a recruit." ”
"Oh, yes, Saburo, you put the hoe down." Li Xiangyu stomped her feet anxiously and shouted, "Lotus came this time, not to let you get into trouble." ”
Li Shu didn't hear her words at all, and almost smashed the heel of the lotus flower with a hoe several times, so frightened that she jumped and screamed, and the yard howled like a monkey.
Li Xiangyu didn't listen to his words, and hurriedly pulled Li Mo, "Da Lang, you take care of it, the lotus flower is with me, if there is a mistake, how can I explain to her father?" ”
"Third brother." Only then did Li Mo stop Li Shu.
Li Shu took the hoe, looked coldly at the lotus flower that was almost out of breath in the corner, and asked Li Xiangyu, "Auntie, you didn't lie to me?" Isn't this time really here to recruit trouble? ”
"Not really." Li Xiangyu hurriedly said, "Da Lang, go and take down the hoe in his hand." ”
"No, you don't." Li Shu threw the hoe casually and strode towards Li Xiangyu, "Auntie, since you're not here to recruit trouble, what are you bringing this ugly woman to my house for?" ”
"Me?" Several nephews in the family, Li Shu has the most temper, and he doesn't take her as an elder in his eyes at all, at this moment, Li Shu is still angry, like a fierce beast, she instinctively took a step back, pulled Li Mo, and said, "Da Lang, you should tell San Lang about this." ”
"I want to hear from my aunt herself." Li Shu said, "Last time, my aunt and the ugly woman brought two pig's heads and a few catties of fat, which was regarded as a dowry, and let all our brothers go to their house, what else to say, the eldest brother and the second brother and I are still making do, and we can help the family do some work, and the fourth brother will spend money to study, so just rest, and it will be a waste of money if you can't get the exam if you study too much." Xiao Wu is still young, and when he grows up, it will be at least a few years before he sells our old house, for fear that he will eat more of their food. ”
Li Xiangyu's face was pale, last time it was not only Lotus who came alone, but also Lotus's father and mother.
The lotus brother is disabled, and many things outside the family rely on the lotus to take care of, and the lotus father wants to recruit a son-in-law to come back.
Seeing that their family conditions were good, and her nephews had never been able to talk about their daughter-in-law, she agreed.
But the lotus father and mother wanted to stand up in front of their brothers, and when they saw the clanging sound of the family's poverty, they didn't speak so politely, and there was a sense of suppression everywhere.
Li Shu became popular, and that time he also drove them away with a hoe, but the lotus was not convinced, and the two really fought.
Li Shu's wrist was bitten out of blood, and the lotus face was beaten like a pig's head.
Originally, this matter was forgotten, but who knows, Lotus Pisheng fell in love with the brothers of the Li family, even Li Shu, she felt that even if it was fierce, it was full of her heart, so she pestered her again, and maybe gave her some benefits.
"I didn't say anything last time, my aunt went back and said that they were my own nephews, they were indeed excessive, no, this time I came mainly to pay for it." Li Xiangyu said.
Li Yan chuckled low on the side, "Auntie is serious, half a year has passed, and we are almost forgetting about it." ”
The implication is that this compensation is not too late.
Li Xiangyu knew that Li Yan's mouth was poisonous, so she pulled Li Mo, "Da Lang, I told you at noon, you can explain to Erlang Sanlang, the lotus family is sincere this time, I don't want you to be rich, she married into your family-"
"What?" When Li Shu heard this, his eyes widened.
Li Xiangyu hurriedly said, "Don't want a bride price, people still have a dowry." ”
"Not unusual." Li Shu shouted with a cold face.
Li Xiangyu's face trembled, "San Lang, you are presumptuous, are you talking to me like this?" ”
"Auntie. Don't be angry, you also know the temper of the third brother, straight, what to say. Li Yan walked over and comforted, "Auntie is for the sake of our brothers, we all know the way, but you are a step late, no, don't we have a daughter-in-law?" ”
"The lotus flower is bigger, and she is small." Li Xiangyu said.
"Phew." Li Shu said angrily, staring at Li Mo and Li Yan viciously, "Big brother and second brother, if you want to marry that woman back, you want it yourself, I don't want it, when the time comes, I will build another house with my daughter-in-law and go alone." ”
"Nonsense." Li Yan glanced at him, "Who said you were going to get married?" Back then, we all swore in front of our mothers that we would only marry one in this life, and only treat her well, how could we marry another woman? ”
"Hmm." Li Shu nodded with satisfaction.
Li Yan then looked at Li Xiangyu, "Auntie, I'm really sorry for letting you run away for nothing again." ”
"Erlang, you were so young back then, what do you know? Your mother is really, she is going to die, what is not easy to say, do you have to make such a poisonous oath, is there her such a mother? Li Xiangyu didn't expect him to take an oath at this time, so he persuaded him.
Li Yan's eyes were full of coldness, and he seemed to smile and said, "I don't know about this, my mother has been dead for more than ten years, and I can't ask." Or, next time my mother entrusts you with a dream, you can help us ask? ”
Li Xiangyu's face suddenly turned pale, "Erlang, you-"
"Sister." Li Vanilla hurriedly supported her sister.
"You guys?" Li Xiangyu's feet suddenly became weak, leaned on her sister, and said dejectedly, "Okay, okay, count me nosy, I'll go, can't I go?" I know that you all shout nicely in your mouths, and you all hate me in your hearts. ”
"Auntie, it's late this day, rest for the night, I'll send you back tomorrow." Li Mo said.
Li Xiangyu was completely disappointed, she originally pointed at Li Mo to reprimand Li Yan, after all, who doesn't know that this matter is a thorn in her heart, but where is she wrong, that woman has harmed her three younger brothers who love the most.
"Lotus, come, I have something to tell you when you enter the house."
The lotus flower was still leaning against the corner of the house, and when she heard Li Xiangyu shouting, she followed the east house carefully next to the root of the wall.
After the three women left, Li Mo glanced at Li Yan helplessly, "Second brother, what you said just now was too serious." ”
Li Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, staring at the West House with a faint gaze, he knew that Li Man must be hiding in the corner of the house to peek, his lips unconsciously raised, and slowly replied, "Big brother, third brother, they may not know Lu Dao, you and I should be very clear, back then, if there was no aunt in the middle, my father and mother would not have happened like that." ”
"It's all over, no matter what she says, she is also her father's sister, our aunt, over the years, she has really worried about us." Li Mo said.
Li Yan snorted and said, "Big brother, don't follow the old path of your father." ”
"Second brother." Li Mo's face changed, "Man'er, she-"
Li Yan followed and said, "We have to guard this one daughter-in-law, I don't want to be like my father, I want to guard my daughter-in-law, take care of my children, and watch them grow up." ”
The last sentence deeply pierced Li Mo's heart.
Li Shu also echoed, "Yes, eldest brother, I also want to be like the second brother." Auntie is still aunt, let's just respect, there's no need to listen to her for everything. ”
"Big brother did a good job today." Li Yan said with a smile, compared to the first time when he almost acquiesced, this time, he at least knew that he and his third brother would come back to stir up trouble.
Li Mo looked at the two younger brothers helplessly, "Okay, when this matter is over, you can compensate your aunt again, forget it today." ”
"Hmm." Li Yan and Li Shu looked at each other and smiled.
