Chapter 288: Confidante
"As soon as that mountain bandit heard that we were talking so well, he was very happy to go back and call people." When Lai said this, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
"And then?" Mrs. Ye urged.
"Then, while the mountain bandit went back to call someone, my father ordered someone to hurry up and quickly transport the things that were escorted, and that time was also lucky, the escort was not a fragile item like porcelain, in short, about the time when the mountain bandit called someone to come and get something, but we had already slipped away." Lai finished with a smile.
"Haha! Is there such a stupid mountain bandit in the world? Won't they really be robbed? Mrs. Ye slapped the table with a smile.
"yes, I'm also surprised that there is such a stupid person, don't you know how to send signals? Later, on our way back, we passed by here again, and we met the same group of bandits, this time two people patrolling together, and my father used the same method, and this time they learned to be shrewd, one watched us, and the other went back to report the news. Lai continued.
"And what about this time? I'm not going to let you run away again, is it? ”
"This time, my father waited for one of the bandits to come back to report the news, and the other one went up and knocked him unconscious with a few punches, and we rode away."
"Hahahaha!"
After Lai's finished speaking this time, even Mrs. Li laughed alongside her, laughing so much that tears flowed out of her eyes, and her stomach hurt.
Rai went on to say many other interesting things.
It's all very funny, but it really happened, it's unbelievable that there will be such a person and such a thing, and Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Li also sincerely admired Lai's through these stories.
That kind of courage to walk through the rivers and lakes is really not comparable to these women in the house.
But Lai's also complimented them: "Most of the dangers in the rivers and lakes are visible to the naked eye, and most of the dangers in the inner houses are hidden in the dark, and you are even more difficult, no matter how good the people are, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no dissent, as we live in this house now, and such things happened in the past, only because of the bad hearts of the people." ”
While talking, Song Qingyi came up to greet them: "It's time to eat, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Ye, Mother, let's all go downstairs to eat." ”
So they went down together.
On the dining table in the center of the first floor, there was already a table full of dishes, which looked rich in dishes, some of which Mrs. Li and Mrs. Ye had never seen before.
"I made a few home-cooked side dishes, I hope the two ladies don't dislike it." Song Qingyi smiled and invited the two of them to take a seat.
"How so? It looks appetizing. Mrs. Ye smiled.
Song Qingyi and Su Xiaowan made eight dishes and one soup, the dish is four meat and four vegetables, the soup is a clear water tofu soup, and after running out of meat dishes, drink one or two bowls of tofu soup, just right.
Song Qingyi introduced which dishes she made and which dishes were made by Su Xiaowan.
Su Xiaowan basically cooks what Mrs. Li likes to eat, which is also what Mrs. Li likes.
The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal.
And with the previous small talk, even the distance between Lai's and Mrs. Li has been shortened a lot, but Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li showed a very little daughter's side in front of Lai's, and even looked at Lai's eyes full of admiration.
Lai Shi felt strange. Kiss
After sending off these two well-fed guests, Lai couldn't help but wonder: "This Mrs. Li, you say that she is everyone's wife, she looks very imposing, but sometimes she says some things, I feel that she is the same age as Xiaowan, especially like a child." ”
"Mother, don't you know, Mrs. Li is the wife of Li Yuanwai, and she is ten years younger than Li Yuanwai!" Song Qingyi said with a smile.
"Continuation? What about Li Yuanwai's original match? ”
"Li Yuanwai's original partner has always been in poor health, after marrying Li Yuanwai, he only gave birth to a son, and then he died of illness, this is the eldest brother of Li Langyin who was an official in Beijing mentioned by Mrs. Li earlier, and Mrs. Li actually looked down on Li Yuanwai at first, thinking he was too old."
"Really? Then why did she change her mind and marry Li Yuanwai? ”
"It's not so much that I changed my mind and married Li Yuanwai, but that I was deceived by Li Yuanwai."
"Liared?"
"That's right, Li Yuanwai just went to the place where Mrs. Li's mother's house was to be a magistrate, and for the first time, he asked someone to tell him the truth, but he didn't say who he was, Mrs. Li naturally shook her head and didn't want to marry, but he fell in love with Mrs. Li at first sight, so he thought of an idea, and made a chance encounter, so that Mrs. Li secretly agreed, and Li Yuanwai hid that Mrs. Li's mother's family had a wife, so he came to the door to marry successfully, and after marrying, it was not until Mrs. Li gave birth to two daughters for Li Yuanwai that another year or two passed. It also happened that Li Yuanwai went to Beijing to be an official, and only then did he know that he had already married a wife, and his eldest son was eighteen years old! ”
"And then? Did Mrs. Lee make a fuss? "Women are gossip-loving, and Lai is very concerned about the follow-up.
"Mrs. Li wanted to make trouble, but who knew that she was pregnant again at this time, and this baby was pregnant with Li Langyin." The first time the Lai family heard of these things, not to mention the Lai family, even Su Xiaowan didn't know anything about the past, and couldn't help but listen seriously.
"Sister-in-law, how do you know so clearly?" Su Xiaowan said strangely.
"Me? Once I heard Song Yiming say it, Song Yiming seemed to listen to Li Langyin himself, or he knew it through other channels. Song Qingyi casually fabricated a reason.
In fact, this is what she heard Li Langyin say to Song Qinglian in her previous life.
But these should have been Li Langyin's words to Su Xiaowan, but because the two were provoked by Song Qinglian to make a conflict, Li Langyin failed to talk to Su Xiaowan, and chatted with Song Qinglian in distress.
Because of this, Li Langyin gradually regarded Song Qinglian as a confidant.
But thinking of Song Qinglian, I don't know how she is doing now.
Of course Song Qingyi didn't want her to have a good time, before leaving Qinghe Village, she heard that Song Qinglian and Wen Xiu had a big quarrel for three days and a small quarrel for two days, anyway, they didn't live in peace.
"I see." Su Xiaowan nodded, and the words with a smile in her eyes pulled Song Qingyi's thinking back.
"Mother, do you really disagree with the matter of Xiaowan and Li Langyin?" Song Qingyi asked about business again.
Smelling, Lai's first thing was to glance at Su Xiaowan, it seemed that he had something to say, but after waiting for a long time, there was only one sentence: "Let's take a look again!" ”
She has already changed her opinion of Mrs. Li in her heart.
Mrs. Li is shrewd and simple, she will not be very difficult to get along with, and she is not the kind of mother-in-law who is difficult to serve, but Lai's family is not worried about the rest of the Li family, this Li Yuanwai sounds like a treacherous person who is good at opportunism, who knows what the other people in the inner courtyard are like?
