Chapter 427: Survival in Hong Kong (72)
Xiao Ju Niang saw the woman who claimed to be Dr. Li's mother in front of her house with someone blocking her door, although her eyes were looking at herself and Zhuangzhuang, she showed contempt; But there was no malice on his body, so although he had a smile on his face, his tone was not very enthusiastic, "Oh, it turned out to be Dr. Li's mother!" Please come and sit at home! ”
While speaking, Xiao Ju Niang squeezed in from the small passage made by the people blocking the door of the house and opened the door. After letting Mother Li into the door, looking at the group of people following Mother Li, her brows couldn't help frowning, the hall at home is not big, and so many people are squeezed in, and there is not even a place to turn around.
Mother Li looked back and forth with Xiao Juniang's gaze, and soon understood the reason, so she said to the maid who was supporting her, "Zhuo Niang, you let people take the things to the hall and put them away, and then retreat outside the door and wait!" ”
"Yes! Wife! The woman called Zhuo Niang by Li's mother let go of the hand holding Li's mother, and instructed the servants who came with her to put the things in their hands or carry them into the hall in order, and then retreated to the door in order to wait.
"Mrs. Li, as the saying goes, no merit is not lost! You brought so many things to my house, my family can't stand it! Xiao Juniang finally couldn't help but say to Mother Li.
"Little Ju Niang, I can afford it! Afford it! You must know that Dr. Xiaoju saved my old man's life some time ago! And what is this little thing worth! Mother Li saw that Xiao Juniang was not dazzled by these many gifts, and lost her temper! I couldn't help but look up at the middle-aged woman in front of me who was a little poorly dressed.
"I haven't heard Xiao Ju mention this! Mrs. Lee, sit in the house first! As for these things. I don't dare take it! Otherwise, Xiaoju will blame me when she comes back! Xiao Ju Niang let Mother Li into the hall, and said politely and very detachedly.
Mother Li came to the couch in the living room and sat down, while the servant named Zhuo Niang stood quietly beside Mother Li, waiting at any time. Although Xiao Juniang was a little uncomfortable with Mother Li's style, her face did not show half of it.
"Zhuangzhuang, you go wash some fruit!" After Mother Li entered the house and put the things in her hand away, she stood beside her with a look of mother-protecting complex.
"Mother!" Zhuang Zhuang glanced at Mother Li with guarded eyes, and shouted with some anxiety.
"It's okay!" Xiao Ju Niang smiled comfortingly at Zhuangzhuang. Although Zhuang Zhuang was a little worried, he still obeyed Xiao Ju Niang's words and turned away.
"Xiao Ju Niang, your son is very protective of you!" Mother Li watched the interaction between Xiao Juniang and Zhuang Zhuang. Unconsciously said with a bit of envy in his tone. You must know that although Li's mother has several sons who are very filial to her, because they have been studying abroad since they were children, they are a little less intimate with each other like Xiao Juniang and Zhuang Zhuang.
"Since I was a child, I have been following me everywhere to survive, so I am naturally protected tightly!" Xiao Juniang because of Mother Li's words. The smile on his face was a little less perfunctory. A little more sincere.
"You live as a woman with two small children. It's not easy! Li Mu sighed and said with a bit of tentativeness.
"It's fine! The children are very capable! It didn't make me cāo much hearted! What Xiao Ju Niang said was the truth, but unfortunately only she understood the meaning, Li Mu never dreamed that this family had always been supported by Xiao Ju. Because of Xiaoju, Xiaoju's family has suffered from running around in the past few years, but they are really not hungry and freezing.
"Xiao Ju Niang, you really have a good pair of children! Especially your daughter Hu Ju, during the time when I was in contact with the hospital, my old man and I really loved it more and more! Mother Li saw that Xiao Juniang was smiling sincerely, and her good words were naturally even smoother.
"Hehe...... "Xiao Ju Niang is not a fool, not to mention that there is a grown daughter at home, and the vigilance of the parents is naturally relatively strong! And his eyes involuntarily drifted to the gift boxes piled up in the corner of the hall, and he seemed to have an understanding in his heart. Before she fully understood the intention of Mother Li's visit, she naturally had a little more precautions in her heart. So Xiao Juniang didn't answer Li's mother's words, but laughed a few times to be reconciled.
"Xiao Ju Niang, I'm also a straightforward person, I don't like to beat around the bush when I talk and do things! I came to the door this time to thank Xiaoju for saving my old man; Second, I want to ask if Xiaoju is married? If not, how about our two families becoming in-laws? Mother Li thinks that her own conditions are among the highest in the Chinese circle in Hong Kong, and a daughter with such conditions as Xiaoju's family will definitely be so happy that she can't sleep at night if she has the opportunity to marry into her family.
"Married? Married to your son Li Guoqiang? Although Xiao Ju Niang had some conjectures in her heart, she was still a little surprised when it really came out of Mother Li's mouth. However, unlike Li's mother's conjecture, Xiao Ju Niang was surprised that except for Zhou Wu when she was recuperating at her house, this Li Guoqiang had come to the door, Xiao Ju Niang had never seen it at any other time, let alone heard Xiao Ju mention this person, why did this Li family come to the door to propose? Could it be Li Guoqiang's request?
"You should have seen my son Li Guoqiang, right? It's not my boast of being a mother, my son, not only looks good, but also has strong abilities! Our family is not the kind of family with a small family, Xiaoju will definitely have a good life if she marries into the Li family! Even in the future, she can take care of her brother and you! Mother Li unconsciously said that her tone was a little condescending again. In fact, it's no wonder that Mother Li, the main reason is that the distance between the two families is too far, and naturally this tone will reveal the flavor of the other party taking advantage of the marriage.
"My daughter is still young! I'd like her to stay at home for a few more years! Xiao Juniang was stimulated by Mother Li's tone, and thought to herself, I haven't promised to marry my daughter to your son, so you started to put this kind of money; If my daughter really gets married, then there is still a good life? So he politely refused without thinking about it. What's more, no matter how strong Li Guoqiang's ability is, it is not as strong as his own Xiaoju, otherwise how could Old Man Li still have Xiaoju's turn to save him?
Mother Li is not a stupid person, she listened to Xiao Ju Niang's words of shirk, the smile on her face suddenly hardened, and she was silent for a while before she could barely suppress the unhappiness in her heart, but she was not interested in sitting down anymore, so she hurriedly found an excuse and left. Xiao Juniang wanted to open her mouth and ask Mother Li to take away the pile of gifts piled up in the corner of the hall, but after seeing the other party's dark face, she still kept her mouth shut.
As soon as Xiao Ju came back, Xiao Ju Niang pointed to the things in the corner of the hall and explained the matter in detail, especially describing Li's mother's attitude. Xiao Ju was also a little unhappy after hearing this, you must know that her mother and Zhuang are her weakness, and they are not good for her mother and brother, and they make her angry even more than being bad for her.
"Mother, don't let this kind of person into the house in the future! We have nothing to ask them for, we don't need to hold her and look at her face! If Mr. Li knew that it was because of his wife's superior attitude that he angered Xiao Ju and made Xiao Ju close the door to his family, he would have been so angry that he would have jumped to his feet and scolded Li's mother for 'not enough success and more than failure'.
"If you don't blame your mother, it's fine!" Xiao Ju Niang saw that Xiao Ju was really as she expected, and she didn't have any interest in that Li Guoqiang, so she was really relieved. If Xiao Ju really likes that Li Guoqiang, and she refuses because she doesn't like Li's mother's attitude, she will have to give up her face and go over to beg someone!
"What am I blaming you for?" Xiaoju glanced at her mother a little strangely, and then dropped another sentence, "I'm tired, go take a bath and sleep first!" ”
"Good! Good! Oh, is the food sent by Ah Xiong okay today? Xiao Ju Niang asked a little treacherously.
"I've always loved my mother's cooking! Just don't buy fruit in the future! Those fruits are expensive and not as delicious as at home! I'll come back and eat it! Xiao Ju nodded indiscriminately, and at the same time casually admonished.
As soon as Xiao Ju Niang heard Xiao Ju's words, she knew that the fruit was bought by Ge Zhixiong because every time she came home, she saw Xiao Ju holding a fruit bowl and eating fruit, and knew that Xiao Ju loved to eat fruits, but she didn't say anything, but her satisfaction with Ge Zhixiong in her heart rose a lot.
