Although Mrs. Li said that she didn't love Pucao as her own daughter, but the last time she went to Nangou Village, she could clearly see that the good life of her daughter's family may fall on Pucao. What's more, people still came to the door today to deliver letters for their own family, no matter what, she couldn't let Pucao suffer any more grievances.

Thinking like this, she hurriedly opened her mouth to answer for Pu Cao, "Pu Cao is the daughter-in-law of Mr. Zhang's family, after the Zhang family had an accident, Li Zheng and a few old men in their village saw that this girl was kind and diligent, and specially allowed her to take her sister-in-law and uncle to pick a door to live and be the master of the house." This girl is also capable, and now her life is thriving, I don't know how many people are greedy. ”

That Li Kuaizui obviously disagreed with Mrs. Li's words, pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "What can you do if the days are prosperous, don't you still wear the big hat of widow and abandoned woman." Speaking of which, the Zhang family hasn't passed the 100-day filial piety, so you just let her sit in the door, and you're not afraid of getting dirty..."

"Okay, if you don't open your mouth, no one will treat you as dumb!" The old man sitting opposite Pucao didn't know if it was Li Kuaizui'er's father-in-law or uncle, seeing that several members of the Li family had bad faces, he scolded her and stopped her, and finally turned to look at Fang Jie, and asked with a smile, "I don't know who this son is..."

The three of the Li family, father and son, looked at each other and didn't know how to introduce them to the villagers, after all, they and Fang Jie met for the first time.

Fang Jie didn't allow them to speak, and first arched his hand to report to himself, "Jie below, the owner of Baiyunju Restaurant in Cuiluan City." ”

Although he was humble in his mouth, it was a bit rude to just give up in the face of the elderly, and everyone in the room frowned, wanting to scold him, but after his eyes swept over his luxurious clothes and accessories, they endured it again and pretended not to see it.

Pu Cao had actually been prepared for everyone's praise and disapproval, and she really didn't take the names of widow and abandoned woman seriously, so she didn't feel so sad.

But Fang Jie's previous gentle color suddenly became arrogant and rude, obviously annoyed that everyone despised her, and she suddenly felt a warm feeling in her heart, it was good to have someone to protect her...

How did Li's second sister-in-law know that Pu Cao was so emotional in her heart, he saw Pu Cao hanging her head and was silent, and thought that she was embarrassed and unbearable by Li Kuai'er's words, so she felt very guilty in her heart, and she didn't care that she was not familiar with Pu Cao, so she quietly reached out and patted her arm as comfort.

Pu Cao was startled, turned her head and saw that the little daughter-in-law was full of shame, and smiled when she knew it, and then beckoned to Dongzi at the door, "Dongzi, please help me bring the basket." ”

"Hey, how does Zhang Dongjia say the word "tired", it's really a little painful." Dongzi ran forward with a grin, and very respectfully put the large rattan basket in his hand at the foot of Pucao, and then walked backwards back to the door.

He was so respectful and humble that the old men in the room looked at each other, wondering in their hearts what the broom star in the mouths of this woman was capable of, and actually made the young man from the city so respectful? Could it be that this Zhang family has really done something terrible?

Although Pu Cao didn't feel the need to elevate his identity, he nodded at Dongzi very affectionately. Then he reached out and lifted the linoleum that covered the basket and laid the contents on the table.

"Auntie, Chunni prepared some food last night, and asked me to bring it over. This is a dry tobacco leaf for the uncle, this is a flower cloth for the two sisters-in-law, and this is a snack for the children..."

Pu Cao's mouth was talking as his subordinates kept busy, and soon the table was full. The exquisitely carved snack box, the golden dry tobacco leaves, the bright and soft cotton cloth, the large pieces of fatty pork, and the black fungus made everyone in the room stretch their necks and look at it.

Li Kuai'er couldn't hold it back, raised his foot and walked to him, stretched out his hand to touch this, twisted that, with a look of envy and jealousy, I hated to take all these good things into my eyes.

Mrs. Li is also a shrewd person, so she naturally guessed that Pu Cao was making face for their family like this, and hurriedly greeted the two daughters-in-law with a smile, "Nizi, this girl, I haven't used up the things I got back last time, why did I send so many more." The eldest daughter-in-law, hurry up and brew a pot of this tea for everyone to taste. ”

The eldest daughter-in-law smiled and took the small copper pot of tea leaves to the stove, and the old man Li also reached out and took the box of dry tobacco leaves and crushed a small piece, and distributed it to several old men and said with a smile, "Uncles also have some new tobacco leaves, I see that this color seems to be roasted quite well." ”

A few old men were not polite, and quickly put the tobacco leaves into the tobacco bag pot and smoked it, and finally nodded and praised, "This taste is really strong and not spicy, and it is two levels better than the fifty pounds we buy on weekdays." ”

Sister-in-law Li also brought a teapot in at this time, and there was one person in the room who was holding a big pottery bowl and squeaked and drank, and naturally there was a sound of admiration.

Li Kuaizui didn't know whether he was dizzy with jealousy or couldn't see the Li family, so he drank a few sips of tea and said, "Old sister-in-law, I remember that the man of Chunni's family didn't break his leg, it stands to reason that it will be difficult to eat enough in the future, how can there be any money left over for his mother's family to buy food?" Don't be a thin donkey pulling hard, smashing the pot and selling iron to make face for your mother's family. ”

When everyone in the room heard this, although they did not echo it, their faces were more or less suspicious. After all, there has never been such a thing in the village, a few years ago, there was a girl who secretly borrowed money to buy things and sent them home, just to let her father have a long life, but the mother-in-law's family made a big fuss, which was really embarrassing. Of course, everyone didn't just think that Chunni looked like the girl who lacked heart, but they really couldn't believe that she had the financial resources.

Mrs. Li remembered that Chunni had been married for a few years, and those long-tongued women in the clan had no less nonsense behind her back, every time she thought about it, she was angry in her heart, and now that her daughter is living a good life and is about to give birth to a grandson, she is finally looking forward to this time to raise her eyebrows!

The old lady called the two daughters-in-law to put away all the good things on the table, and then she half-raised her chin and said loudly, "What her aunt said wronged us Nier, we are not the people who can't live." She must have a prosperous family to send food back and be filial to her father. Also, we have a happy event coming now, and we should be more filial. ”

"Happy event? What's the happy event? Without waiting for Li to answer, Li's second sister-in-law, who came back one step later, was the first to ask. You must know that Chunni was the closest to her before she got married, and she was naturally interested in Chunni's happy events.

Mrs. Li smiled and didn't speak, until everyone in the room looked at her, and then said, "Our Nizi is happy, and we will add a fat boy to his Liu family in a few months." ”

"Really? That's great, I'm going to see Niko! Mother, let's bring something good for Nizi? Li's second sister-in-law danced happily, just like her mother-in-law before, thinking about what good things were still in the family.

Most of the people in the house got along well with the Li family, and when they heard such a happy event, they also said hello to them, and some even said that there were eggs at home, and if they could use them, they would just go and get them.

Mrs. Li naturally responded, Li Kuaizui saw that he was thrown aside again, the Li family became more and more proud, and there was no door on his mouth under shame, and said in a weird manner, "Don't be happy too early, Nizi gave birth to a child surnamed Liu, and it has nothing to do with our Li family." But I'm afraid that the second child is going to go to prison soon, or how to say it..."

Mrs. Li was really annoyed now, and she didn't allow Li to finish speaking, so she snapped the pottery bowl in her hand and scolded, "Her aunt, don't you see our family well?" You have to intervene in everything, are you really afraid of you? Do you want me to count two sentences of your family's things for you? ”

Li Kuaizui'er's face stiffened, and he stiffened his neck and argued, "I'm also for the good of your family, don't just be happy and forget that there are still troubles." Why don't you know what to do, and what are you pulling on my family? I don't want to listen to the pull-down, so I won't talk about it. ”

After she said this, she opened the door with a cold face and two little short legs, and walked away.

The faces of the Li family were extremely ugly, and Sister-in-law Li closed the door tightly and said angrily, "Aunt Li is the most annoying, the crow stands on the back of the pig, saying that people are black and don't know that they are black!" ”

"Okay, don't talk about it, she's also an elder!" Mrs. Li waved her hand to stop her eldest daughter-in-law's words, and her face naturally lost her joy.

The two elders of the Li family stroked their beards, slowly exhaled a puff of green smoke, and said, "It's not good to drag on this matter forever, those people in the city will come to the door sooner or later." I see, if it doesn't work, let him go to Nizi's house to hide. ”

Old man Li took a few puffs of cigarette and replied in a low voice, "Nizi has just been pregnant with a child, if those people find Nangou Village again, it will not be good for her to be frightened, so let's wait." ”

Li Lao Er on the side stomped his feet heavily and said hatefully, "I don't believe that there is no royal law in the world, if they really report to the official, let's go to the government to fight a lawsuit!" ”

Where is Li's second sister-in-law willing to let her man kneel in the official hall, and she is anxious to stop her. But the room is full of uncles and elders, where is her junior daughter-in-law to speak.

Pu Cao saw that her subordinates were about to crush the corners of their clothes, and she couldn't bear it in her heart, thinking about how to help. However, if she uses money in this matter, she still has some methods, but unfortunately when it comes to the government to fight a lawsuit, she can't do anything. But fortunately, the one sitting next to her is a man with good hands and eyes, and it may be easy to solve it.

Thinking like this, she turned her head to look over, but her eyes happened to meet Fang Jie's smiling eyes, as if he had already communicated with her heart and knew everything. He nodded slightly, causing Pucao to smile instantly.

"Auntie, I don't know what trouble the second brother has caused? You tell me and Fang Gongzi to listen, maybe we can help a little. ”

Aunt Li was originally afraid that Pucao would pass the word to Chunni, and then provoke her daughter to worry and be afraid. At this time, when I heard Pu Cao say this, there was a glimmer of hope in my heart, and I stepped forward to take Pu Cao's hand and instructed him several times, and then I briefly told the story.

It turned out that a few days ago, Li Lao Er carried a bag of mung beans into the city, planning to sell some silver money to supplement the family. But mung beans are really good to make dim sum porridge in summer, and it is really good to use it to cool off the heat and reduce the fire, and no one is willing to buy it in winter.
