After Li Huai finished the calculation, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

This month's shipments in the grain store have almost caught up with the volume of the previous months. Even though food prices have slowly risen by 30 percent, the momentum has not slowed down.

What's going on? Could it be that someone is secretly hoarding food?

It seems that I have to say hello to the owner about this. By the way, do you have to stock up on your own home?

Li Huai felt that his mind and heart were in chaos, sighed, and said to the young man:

"You arrange for someone to send 200 catties of sorghum rice and 100 catties of white flour to my family before tonight, and record them in my account."

The young man replied respectfully: "Hey! Rest assured! Mr. walk slowly. ”

Li Huai walked back home with heavy steps.

He is not happy to go back at all now, and when he goes back, he will inevitably see Cao's face that silently condemns him.

Although she didn't dare to say it, he couldn't control what was going on in her heart.

If he can't convince her, what can he do?

Moreover, he himself is not without muttering in his heart.

He just forced Cicada Niang to be his aunt, and Sister Zhu happened to encounter this kind of thing......

He has been much better to Cicada Niang, but Sister Zhu is still getting haggard day by day, and she washes her face with tears.

The old lady insisted on keeping Sister Zhu by her side, and refused to let her go back to the town...... I don't know where Sister Zhu'er is!

Li Huai walked into the house with a heavy heart, and heard a burst of laughter from the flower hall in the distance.

That's a strange thing.

The atmosphere at home has been dull for many days, so what is the joy of today?

Oops, it's almost June now, isn't Brother Wen finally passing the internal exam of Xingzhi Academy, and he can leave this year?

Li Huai couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but when he entered the house, this surprise disappeared without a trace.

Brother Wen is not there, and neither is the errand boy in the academy who runs errands for the students.

However, there was an old woman dressed in Ayaluo, dressed as a demon, who was sitting on the kang head, with a loud voice, foaming at the mouth and talking to the Cao family about the Pang family.

The Pang family?

Li Huai clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, and his teeth creaked and creaked by him:

Who is this?

Running to his house to praise the Pang family? Is this a slap in the face?

The Cao family was flattering the old woman, but when he heard Li Huai's footsteps, he looked back and felt his scalp tingle.

Looking at Li Huai's expression, he was angry, where did he come back?

Don't be angry with the flower matchmaker!

Cao hurriedly got down from the kang, walked to Li Huai's side in three steps and two steps, and stroked his chest to calm his breath:

"Oops, what's going on? Why is your face so ugly? What's wrong with it? ”

Seeing that Cao's old and haggard face was full of concern and panic, the anger in Li Huai's heart also calmed down a little.

He asked in a low voice:

"Who is this? How dare you mention the Pang family in our house? ”

Cao Shi also replied in a low voice:

"This is the flower matchmaker, who came to propose marriage to Sister Zhu on behalf of the little master of the Pang family."

The Cao family didn't dare to make it clear, taking a concubine and marrying a wife are not the same thing.

If Li Huai heard that it was a concubine, she personally beat the matchmaker out, then her sister Zhu's way out would be completely blocked.

Aunt Cicada made a few specialty dishes.

A steamed fish, a sweet and sour short rib, a plate of soft-fried tenderloin, a piece of three fresh, a cold salad of seasonal fresh, a dish of vegetarian roast and two winters, a set of marinated cold spells, a pot of fresh mushroom and vegetable soup......

Put a small dining table to the brim.

Li Huai and his wife sat in the main seat, the flower matchmaker sat in the guest seat, and the Lin family fed Li Ye a bowl of soup, and began to stand on the side of the Cao family to serve the mother-in-law, while Aunt Cicada stood on the other side to serve Li Huai.

The matchmaker secretly laughed at Li Huai and his wife for arranging the score indecently, making the status of a daughter-in-law and a concubine the same, and munched on it while letting go of her cheeks.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, I talked about this matter again.

To Cao's surprise, Li Huai didn't beat the flower matchmaker out. Instead, he said politely that he had to ask Li Jingfu and Qiao Ximei's opinions again on this matter, because the Li family had not yet separated, and the old couple was still the head of the Li family.

……

The flower matchmaker went out of Li Huai's house, so she went to report to Master Pang:

"Li Huai didn't say a word or spit out, this matter, it seems that there is a seven or eight points accurate."

Master Pang laughed when he heard this, and temporarily put aside the idea of revenge on the Li family.

Pang Yaozu, the little young master of the Pang family, woke up once yesterday. When I woke up, I was not very conscious, and I kept calling "Sister Zhu, Sister Zhu". After only a few screams, he passed out again.

At first, Master Pang thought that the little young master was called the Oiran Yizhu of the Spring Sleep Building.

But then I thought about it, at the moment when Pang Yaozu had an accident, Yizhu was making up for sleep in the Spring Sleep Building. The name in Pang Yaozu's mouth has nothing to do with Yihuzhu.

Then, it can only be Li Yunzhu, the eldest lady of the Li family.

After Pang Yaozu's accident, when Master Pang investigated the murderer, he had already investigated the Li family.

Therefore, Master Pang knew that Li Huai was working as a bookkeeper in the grain store in the town.

also knows that the Li family has two grandsons, both of whom are studying at Xingzhi Academy. And Li Xixian, who has four rooms in the Li family, is deeply loved by Mr. Gu and Mr. Ding, the head of the mountain, in Xingzhi Academy.

Moreover, in the four-room family, it seems that there are several children who are very happy with the little lady of the Yu family, especially the sixth girl Li Yunxin, who has almost become the follower of the second lady of the Yu family, and the two will get together every once in a while, and they don't know what to do.

Therefore, Master Pang felt that this eldest lady of the Li family brought her into the house to be a concubine for Yaozu was not an insult to her own children.

But he never thought that the Li family would disagree.

……

Li Huai took leave from the grain store, hired a carriage, took out half of the sorghum rice and white flour he had just bought, loaded them into the car, and took the Cao family back to Lao Li's house in Tun'er.

He was very conflicted.

If Sister Zhu is allowed to marry the Pang family, I am afraid that my father and mother will not be happy.

But if Sister Zhu is not allowed to marry the Pang family, Sister Zhu is like this, and her future is almost a dead end.

However, even if it is a serious marriage, the father and mother can't be happy, let alone take a concubine?

To be a concubine, you have to sign a deed of sale......

With such an uneasy mood, Li Huai arrived at the old mansion.

I saw that Qiao Ximei was taking Li Xiyi to dry the wrapping cloth used to make tofu.

The cloth used to make tofu has to be cleaned every day and dried in the sun in time.

Otherwise, the tofu tastes wrong, and it is a small matter to smash the brand, and it is a big matter to make the guests eat problems.

Li Huai struggled to unload the grain, Li Xiyi hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Qiao Ximei's attitude was a little cold.

Since Li Yunzhu had an accident, the relationship between Li Huai and Qiao Ximei has been a little tense.

Li Huai obviously came to apologize with food, but Qiao Ximei still didn't want to forgive him so quickly.

Li Huai finished unloading the grain in silence, paid the fare and reward to the coachman, and limped behind Qiao Ximei, and went straight into the house with the curtain lifted.

Qiao Ximei heard Li Huai's limping footsteps, and she couldn't bear it, but she was still unwilling to deal with him.

Li Huai was silent for a while, but in the end, he still stubbornly told Qiao Ximei about the flower matchmaker's marriage.

Qiao Ximei waited for him to finish speaking, twisted half of her body, looked at Li Huai, and saw that he couldn't help but lower his head, and then sighed:

"Brother Huai'er, how did you become like this?"
