The New Year is approaching, and Xia Ruan will personally handle the procurement of New Year's goods and other affairs.

Every time he saw Xia Ruan's busy figure, Li Shi was always a little worried.

There are even times when I feel that I can't get enough of it.

At this time, Cuiliu happened to send the fetal pill over, and Li said: "There has been no trouble in the uncle's house recently? ”

She hesitated slightly, then added another sentence: "The eldest lady and the second miss, didn't you say anything?" ”

A few days ago, Xia Ruan's words completely offended Xia Qinghe and Xia Qingya.

Over the years, although he didn't get along with his eldest sister-in-law, he didn't make trouble in the open.

Although Xia Ruan can't be complained about this matter, the two families live close to each other, only one street apart, and they don't look up and see each other when they look down. But now......

Seeing Li's inquiry, Cuiliu hurriedly put the medicine bowl on the pine table, and comforted lightly: "The temper of the eldest lady and the second miss, madam, you don't know the way, can you not make a fuss?" But I can't blame Miss for this, if the words they said that day were left in the Li family, I don't know how many slaps Lu Dao received. That's such a bully. ”

At the mention of the Li family, Li's brows twisted again.

Cuiliu also realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she lowered her head and said no more.

The room was silent again, Li held the medicine bowl and drank the soup, Cuiliu handed over the candied fruit on the side, but Li did not take it. just sighed: "Now I'm afraid of falling behind?" In fact, as you know, these things have passed, and I don't want to mention them. If it weren't for Ruan Yatou, how could I be willing to bow my head and beg them. ”

Li has been calm and calm over the years, and his mood is invisible.

But Cuiliu and her, the two have been together day and night for so many years. Sometimes it only takes one look to know what the other person is thinking.

Cuiliu glanced outside the house before slowly saying, "Madam, I'm afraid of wronging Miss." Over the years, as long as the slave maid thinks about it, I don't know how many times the young lady has been bullied by the eldest lady and the second miss, the slave maid feels uncomfortable. If it weren't for the second miss, our miss would be sick there. At that time, even Dr. Zhou said that the young lady had a weak spleen and stomach since she was a child, and some foods were inedible. It would be a blessing to wake up this time. But even if that's the case, we still have to hide from Miss that it's a cold ......"

At the mention of this, Cuiliu's eyes turned red.

Xia Ruan would get sick some time ago, but it wasn't an accident at all. It's nothing more than because Xia Qinghe took the cold and rancid food for Xia Ruan to eat, if Xia Ruan didn't comply, Xia Ruan would be locked up in the firewood room. At that time, Cuiliu didn't know about Lu Dao at all, and by the time she found out, Xia Ruan had already begun to fall unconscious. Fortunately, God opened his eyes, otherwise if something happened to Xia Ruan, Cuiliu wouldn't dare to imagine what would happen to Mrs. next.

At that time, the uncle knew about this, but he didn't teach Xia Qinghe a lesson, but asked the Zhao family to come over to take a look, and he also told Xia Ruan about the bad family affairs. With this arrogant attitude, where do you treat Mrs. as a younger brother and sister.

It's just that the only thing Cuiliu didn't expect was that after Xia Ruan woke up, he didn't mention it at all, but just changed his attitude towards the uncle's family.

The reason why Xia Ruan became like this, Cuiliu felt that it was all to prevent his wife from being wronged.

"I don't know when you say this, she is sick as if she took my life." Li Shi gently pinched his eyebrows when he said this, looking a little tired, "So this time I have already thought about letting her marry into the Yue family." ”

Cuiliu was stunned for a moment, and her face was a little panicked: "Yue family? Miss Cousin's house? That's ......."

After seeing Li's expression, Cuiliu's words paused abruptly.

Cuiliu would be so shocked, and the Li family naturally knew the reason. It's just that now she has no better way, if she lets Xia Ruan marry into the Xiao family, isn't it equivalent to destroying her daughter with her own hands? Marrying into the Yue family, she will also be a wife of the main house in the future, and Yue Chengan is even more of a concubine, and Xia Ruan does not have to suffer too much.

"How much silver?" Cuiliu's voice trembled a little, "Madam, how much silver do you want." ”

Li smiled bitterly, and sure enough, he couldn't hide anything from Cuiliu.

Now that the emperor is old, after the crown prince was deposed, the officials in the court have already found the prince they support. The lord of the Yue family is no exception, but the mother of the prince they support is just a small concubine, and where is there a lot of silver to take care of everything. That's why this ridiculous family business is here.

"Ten thousand taels of silver." Li's tone softened a lot, somewhat sad, "Where did I go to find so much silver, and now I am not as good as before, but ...... I can't let Ruan Yatou go to Xiao's house, right? No matter how good Xiao Jiu is, he is just a concubine, if he lets the girl marry, he will have to suffer a lot of hardships and sins in the future. ”

Cuiliu's eyes were already red, and when she heard this, her tears were already dripping, didn't this Yue family take advantage of people's danger?

"Madam, even if you exchange all the Zhuangzi and the shop for silver, you can't make up enough five thousand taels of silver, so how can you talk about ten thousand taels?" Cuiliu lowered her head and swallowed her tears vigorously, but she didn't dare to wipe her face with a handkerchief, for fear that Li's heart would be even more uncomfortable.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Li's face, how could she not know this.

She stood up, put her hands on her abdomen, and then said slowly: "So I plan to take Ruan Yatou to Yue's house after the year, if my cousin can look at her, this silver may be less ......."

When she said this, the Li family was a little lacking in confidence, her cousin, didn't she know Cuiliu and didn't understand?

But Xia Ruan will be in time for the New Year, and if her daughter's family stays at home for too long, there will inevitably be gossip in the future. The point that Li Shi minds the most in his heart is that if Xia Ruan marries not as much as Xia Qinghe and Xia Qingya in the future, she will not be blind even if she dies.

It's not that she likes to compare, but that her eldest sister-in-law has become more and more excessive over the years. Even if she tried her best to restrain her edge, the eldest sister-in-law still refused to take away her and her husband's money.

Yesterday's incident made Li understand that Xia Qinghe and Xia Qingya are now talking with guns and sticks, and they are arrogant. If someone marries someone better than Xia Ruan in the future, how arrogant it should be.

As long as Li thought of this, he felt that his headache was even worse.

"You must not tell Ruan Yatou about this, she doesn't know about these bad things, let her marry with peace of mind, and I will deal with these things." Li sighed, sat down again, and continued to advise, "Go and clean up the jewelry in my cabinet to see if there is anything valuable, and when the time comes, you can't go to Yue's house empty-handed to visit your cousin." ”

Although Cuiliu was not very happy, she knew in her heart that as long as the Li family made up her mind, she could not change it.

Just take the silver to exchange for a noble family affair, if it was left in the past, Cuiliu Zhidao The Li family has never disdained, but now they have to bow their heads.

Thinking of this, Cuiliu wiped away her tears and went to the cabinet to find jewelry.

It's just that when the two were talking, they accidentally ignored a touch of cyan outside the door.
