"Sister-in-law, our store will open tomorrow, please don't invite the people over there." Li Xiao asked excitedly, from tomorrow onwards, he can show his strength and start his own business.

Lin Xue was also full of smiles and said, "Just tell them, you don't need to invite them, anyway, others know that you opened this store." ”

Li Xiao nodded, Li Fu hurt him to go to prison at the beginning, but now he thinks about it, and he still feels sorry for it, "Sister-in-law, then I'm going to be busy, you remember to come over with your eldest brother tomorrow morning, and the opening celebration can't be without you." ”

"Okay, I know, we'll be there on time tomorrow, you go get busy." Lin Xue sent Li Xiao away, and went to cook, August was the hottest time, Lin Xue felt unbearable after staying for a while, in desperation, Lin Xue casually fried two dishes, and the family ate it improvised.

Li Feng wiped the sweat on his head and complained, "Mother, this ghost weather is too hot, I can't stand it anymore, how long will it take to reach autumn." ”

Lin Xue frowned and said, "It's still early, Feng'er, if you want to be too hot, you can take a few more showers, and my mother has no other way, so you can bear with it." ”

Yunyun looked at Tianbao, who was only wearing a belly pocket, and said enviously, "Mother, it would be great if I was as big as Tianbao, wearing several layers of clothes every day will suffocate me." ”

Lin Xue raised her right hand and knocked on Yunyun's head, and said, "What nonsense, if you really go back to when you were a child, you should worry about when you will grow up." ”

Yunyun stuck out her tongue, lowered her head and said, "Mother, don't I just talk casually, why do you keep knocking on my head, you will become stupid." ”

"You're not smart in the first place, so it doesn't matter how stupid you are." Lin Xue said teasingly, Yunyun pulled Li Qi's arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, mother, she bullied me, you don't care, I'm still your biological daughter." ”

Li Qi scratched his head, looked at Yunyun and then at Lin Xue, as if it was wrong to help anyone, stood up and said, "Xiaoxue, I remember that there is something in the field, I'll go first, you can talk." ”

Looking at Li Qi's back and running away, Lin Xue smiled and bent over, covered her stomach and said, "Yunyun, you have found the wrong person in your complaint, you know, your father listens to me." ”

Yunyun stomped his feet on the ground twice, and said sullenly, "Mother, you are disrespectful to the elderly, and even your daughter is bullied, so I will ignore you." ”

Lin Xue touched her smooth cheeks, she was only in her thirties and was said to be old, it was really sad, she sighed for a while When she raised her head, Yunyun had already gone out.

After the sun set, the temperature dropped suddenly, but the house was still stuffy and hot, and Lin Xue couldn't stay anymore, so she pulled Li Qi to cool off in the yard.

"Xiaoxue, today the second brother asked me when I would give him the fifty taels of silver, and I didn't know how to answer at the time, so I said that the family had no money recently, and I would talk about it after a while." Li Qi frowned, a sad look on his face.

Lin Xue had forgotten about this matter, sat up and said, "In charge, if the second brother is still looking for you, you will say that your father has instructed us to give him and the fourth brother another penny, if he doesn't believe it, let him ask his father, remember to be tough when you speak." ”

Li Qi scratched his head and said, "Xiaoxue, this is not good, my father never said such a thing at all, if the second brother really ran to ask, then we will not be ganged up, and the consequences will be more serious at that time." ”

Lin Xue rolled her eyes, knocked hard on Li Qi's head, and said, "Your brain won't turn, the second brother won't ask his father at all, and even if he asks, will his father still come over and say, third brother, why don't you give your second brother silver, then your father will be shameless." ”

Li Qi nodded teachablely, his father would definitely not say such a thing if he loved face so much, Li Qi said with a little pride, "Xiaoxue, you are still smart, I don't know what virtue I have accumulated in my last life to marry you." ”

Lin Xue turned her head stiffly, looked at Li Qi and said, "It should be that I have done something immoral, by the way, the master, I played your second brother like this, aren't you angry?" ”

"Second brother, that person should be taught a lesson, it's okay." Li Qi said without hesitation.

When Li Qi said this, Lin Xue was a little embarrassed, Li Gui didn't do anything wrong in this matter, and was also used as a pawn by Li Feng, after thinking about it, Lin Xue said, "Otherwise, if the second brother is looking for you, you will say the words I taught you, and then give him twenty taels of silver, and it will be compensated." ”

Li Qi nodded, and also felt that this was good, twenty taels was enough to prepare a rich dowry, and the old mansion also had a house, so Li Gui didn't need to buy it again.

A warm breeze blew, Lin Xue yawned and said, "Master, let's go back to the room to rest, there will be something tomorrow." ”

Li Qi carried a stool and followed Lin Xue back to the house, and the next morning, the Lin family and Li Qi's family packed up early and got into the carriage and went to the entrance of the village.

There are not many people invited by Li Xiao, most of them have a good relationship with him, and Li Fu, Li Gui, and the Zhang family came to the old mansion.

A bunch of firecrackers were placed at the door of the shop, Lin Xue just got off the carriage, Dagui picked up the fire fold and lit the fuse, the firecracker thunderbolted, Lin Xue covered her ears, took two steps back, and thought that after today's incident was over, she must settle accounts with Dagui, and it was clear that it was deliberate.

Soon the firecrackers were over, Li Xiao walked out in a new dress, and invited everyone to visit inside after saying a few polite words, Lin Xue walked in along the crowd, and in the bright shop, eight shelves were placed, and the goods were neatly placed on it, and a few guys hired by Li Xiao also greeted everyone with smiles on their faces.

Lin Xue nodded secretly, this Li Xiao is really a business material, after observing for a while, Lin Xue found that there were many people who came in, but most of them were lively, and only a small number of people bought things.

Lin Xue just frowned and laughed, it was she who was greedy, doing business was like this, if she had a good reputation, there would be more customers, so she opened a store and someone could patronize it, and it was already time to snicker.

Just thinking about it, Yunyun pulled her sleeve and said, "Mother, I just saw my aunt stealing something, what should I do, do you want to tell Uncle Li Xiao." Yunyun looked embarrassed, she knew both sides, whether she said it or not, it didn't feel good, and after thinking for a long time, Yunyun planned to listen to Lin Xue's advice.

Lin Xue looked around the crowd and found Zhang's, sure enough, Zhang's face had a smug smile, and when he saw Lin Xue, he also showed a provocative look, turned around and ran behind another shelf.

Lin Xue pulled Yunyun to a place where there were few people and asked, "Yunyun, have you seen what your eldest aunt stole anything?" "Lin Xue didn't want to make a big deal when it just opened, if it was a gadget stolen by Zhang, it should be given to her.

Yunyun looked left and right, and said, "It's a box of rouge, and a horn comb, the eldest aunt thought that no one saw it and stuffed it in her sleeve, mother, it's not good to steal things, I saw the eldest aunt doing this, I felt so ashamed, I really don't want to have such a relative." ”

Lin Xue nodded, feeling the same way, who wants such a relative, it seems that they can only settle the matter, otherwise if things come out, they will have to be embarrassed together.

"Yunyun, forget about it, I'll tell Uncle Li Xiao when no one is around, otherwise our family will be embarrassed." Lin Xue whispered.

Yunyun's big eyes blinked twice, and he understood, Lin Xue thought that as long as they didn't say this, they would pass, who knew that the Zhang family stole two things, and found that no one saw it, so he suddenly became bolder, and he took a bronze mirror and stuffed it into his sleeve, and just happened to be seen by an aunt who came over opposite, and shouted, "Come here, everyone, there is a thief here, catch her and don't let her run away." ”

Zhang panicked all of a sudden, turned around and was about to run out, but the shop was so big, and it was crowded with people who couldn't run away at all, Zhang struggled twice, and was escorted out.

Lin Xue knew that things were bad as soon as she heard it, she really couldn't live by herself, so she pulled Yunyun over in resignation, and Li Qi ran over from behind and asked, "Xiaoxue, what happened, how did I hear someone say that they caught the thief." ”

Lin Xue glared at him, who is this Li family, and said angrily, "I caught a thief, and you still know that person, and you know him very well." ”

"Who?" Li Qi suddenly had a bad premonition, raised his head and looked into the crowd to see that Zhang was standing there in the middle with his head down, Li Qi stammered and asked, "No, it won't be sister-in-law, she, how could she do such a thing." ”

"Why not, your daughter has seen it, I thought about it and didn't let Yunyun say it, who knew that your sister-in-law was unwilling to continue stealing, so she was seen and shouted out by others. Lin Xue was furious, if something like this happened, others would not just say what happened to the Zhang family alone, but how the entire Li family was. ”

"I'll go to my eldest brother and let him settle this matter." Li Qi was so ashamed that his face turned red, and he was caught stealing things in public, not only did Lin Xue not want such a relative, but he didn't want it.

Lin Xue didn't stop it, the longer this matter dragged on, the more embarrassing it became, after Li Qi left, Lin Xue also squeezed into the crowd, and Zhang's was spitting on his defense, "I'm not a thief, this shop is opened by my third brother and sister, we are a family, how can it be considered stealing anything casually." ”

Someone in the crowd recognized Zhang's family, stood up and said, "Li Fu's daughter-in-law, don't quibble there, this shop belongs to Li Xiao, and it has nothing to do with Li Qi's daughter-in-law." ”

"Why doesn't it matter, Li Xiao's poor boy can have the money to open such a big store, at first glance, it is my third brother's money, but it is just for him Li Xiaolai to be a shopkeeper, and you, don't talk nonsense here if you don't know the situation, a group of hillbillies." Zhang swore that he didn't think he was wrong for stealing things at all, and it was normal to take something back to his own store.
