73. Li Duo's Marriage III
Three days later, in the afternoon, the Wang family sent five dowry gifts, and after the sun set, Li Duo was carried away with a cyan sedan chair, the old man did not let the family send it, Lin Xue couldn't stand it and secretly instructed Li Qi to follow behind, watching the sedan chair enter the door, Li Qi turned back.
When there was still half a month before the Chinese New Year, Lin Xue's new house had already been built, and the workers were paid to go home for the New Year.
"Boss, when will our furniture be delivered?" Lin Xue visited the new house, with snow-white walls, bright windows, and vermilion doors.
"Let's celebrate the New Year, we want more things, Master Wang said that he would work overtime overnight." Richie replied.
Lin Xue nodded, it's not good to move for the New Year, and the old man is not happy, so it's better to wait for the New Year to pick up everything and move in.
The sun set, Lin Xue was worried about the children at home locking the door and Li Qi went back, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw a carriage parked, who else would come at such a late hour.
Entering the gate, Wang Jie stood in the courtyard and put a lot of things on the ground, two big red boxes, a dresser, and a few baggage, "Yo, the third aunt is back, I heard that your new house is magnificent." ”
"It's okay." Lin Xue was about to leave with a perfunctory word, but Wang Jie blocked the way, "Don't worry, third aunt, I still have something to tell you." ”
Lin Xue stopped, "I don't have anything to say to you." With his hands around his arms, he looked at Wang Jie coldly.
"Third aunt, we are a family, even if there is any contradiction, the past is over," Wang Jie rarely showed a flattering smile, "Third aunt, my husband and I have no place to live at home when we come back this time, and it is impossible to ask someone to build a house during the Chinese New Year, so I want to discuss with you to live in your new house, and we will move out after the New Year." ”
"Impossible." Lin Xue refused, no wonder her tone changed today, she had already compromised the idea of a house, this time she didn't think about it, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, you don't have a landlord to go to your sister-in-law and say, as an aunt, I'm not obliged to provide you with a house." ”
Wang Jie was a little unconvinced, stretched out her right hand and grabbed Lin Xue's sleeve, "Grandpa also agreed, I can't help you object, third aunt, even if my father-in-law didn't win the show this time, he will definitely win next time, while there is still a chance now, you should stammer more, otherwise when we are developed, who will recognize who you are." His eyes glanced at Lin Xue with disdain.
Lin Xue slapped Wang Jie's hand away, "Since my nephew and daughter-in-law said so, then it's better for me to stay away, I can't afford your extravagance." "As for my father, I will naturally refuse, and my nephew and daughter-in-law will find another way to deal with the house." ”
Wang Jie stomped her heels and walked in behind, she didn't believe that the old man said in person, Lin Xue would not agree, the old man was drinking tea with Li Cheng, both of them were sitting on the kang, so they didn't see Wang.
"Third aunt, I mentioned you to my grandfather just now, but I didn't expect to give it back." Li Cheng got down from the kang and made a salute.
Lin Xue nodded, she knew it, "Dad, just now my niece and daughter-in-law said that there is no place to live, how do you plan to arrange this matter, although our family is relatively small, we can still live in it." ”
"No, you don't." Li Cheng hurriedly spoke, he was not happy to squeeze with others, "Isn't the third aunt's new house just built, Jie'er and I can just live in a room." ”
"That's not good, the house has just been built, it's still damp inside, and you can wait for a while to dry before you can live in it." Lin Xue sat in the position of the old man's head, "Dad, you forgot that the old Li Tou at the head of the village died living in a new house, we can't repeat the mistakes of the past." ”
In fact, Lin Xue said seriously, the reason why Lao Li Tou died was because he lit a brazier in the room, and the doors and windows were closed too tightly, which had nothing to do with the house, although the old man knew the reason, but Lin Xue's new house had been on fire, and he always felt unlucky because of superstition, so he didn't have the idea of hitting the house, this time Li Cheng came over and said, he was not very willing in his heart, "Cheng'er, you should not go to the new house, it is unlucky." ”
"Grandpa, that's all a lie, it's not credible at all." Li Cheng persuaded him.
The old man glared, "You forgot last time, it caught fire just as you were about to move in." ”
Li Cheng shrank his head, although he thought it was artificial, he had some other thoughts in his heart, "Grandpa, where do we live?" ”
The old man was stunned, he hadn't thought about this problem yet, the shack in the yard would definitely not be able to live, and the other houses had people, so you can't drive others out for Li Cheng, drive them out, the old man's eyes looked at Lin Xue, this new house has been built, they should also move, as for the danger, what does it have to do with him.
With a decision, the old man stood up and walked back and forth a few steps, "The third daughter-in-law, isn't the new house already built, I will let the eldest family help you later, and move over at night, so that Cheng'er will have a place to live." ”
Lin Xue sneered, "Dad, didn't you just say that the new house was unlucky, why did you let our family move in." Although Lin Xue didn't feel anything, she was still uncomfortable being treated like this by the old man.
"Can you compare with Cheng'er," the old man lowered his face unhappily, "It's good for the villagers to have a place to live, and besides, you have to build a house, why do you want to keep it empty, if you think it's too much, then give a little to Cheng'er." ”
"Dad, let's move." Lin Xue gritted her teeth, "You don't need the help of your eldest brother and sister-in-law, just me and Li Qi." "She can't stay in this place for a minute, and the furniture hasn't come back, so let's make do with it first, anyway, just don't live here."
"Furniture or something left for Cheng'er, they still need to use it." The old man added.
"I know, Dad, we won't take those things." After finishing speaking, Lin Xue left without looking back.
Returned to the house angrily, Li Qi was not there, only Li Feng and Yunyun, Lin Xue opened the cabinet and found a piece of baggage cloth to spread on the bed, her clothes were still bought after earning money, the patched ones had been thrown away, and the children and Li Qi were the same, wrapping all the clothes together and knotting them and throwing them aside, and began to clean up the sheets and quilts.
"Xiaoxue, what are you doing when you pack your things, don't you plan to sleep at night." Richie came in and asked.
"Ask your father to go, he asked us to move out now and vacate the place for Li Cheng to live." The tone was full of anger.
Li Qi walked over and pressed Lin Xue to pack up his things, "What are you moving, there is nothing for me on the new house, and I can't live as an adult at all, I'll go to my father and talk to me." ”
"Okay, I've already promised my father, let's take the things first, get together at the osmanthus house at night, and go to the town tomorrow to buy all the things." Lin Xue Road.
