After that, apart from endless complaints, the daughter-in-law of the Chen family never heard any useful news from the Yang family.

She hurriedly found an excuse to say goodbye to the Lin family, and the Yang family found out that the daughter-in-law of the Chen family was just busy coming and going, and she just moved the plates on one table to another, which was equivalent to doing nothing.

Yang scolded his mother in annoyance, and could only continue to work with sulking.

In the county seat, Kou Xiao took Lin Mai and Zhou's to the mansion he had purchased, and the mother and daughter couldn't help but be stunned by the style of the mansion, which kept improving every brick and tile.

The Zhou family has hardly been to the county seat, let alone seen such a luxurious house, and Lin Mai sighed that if it is placed in the world where she came, this mansion is afraid that it will be priceless.

There is also a middle courtyard through the front yard, and there is a lotus pond with koi fish in the middle courtyard, and you can reach the hall by crossing the small stone bridge, and there is a backyard behind the hall.

The backyard is divided into a large courtyard and a small courtyard, the wing room of the courtyard is for his subordinates and servants to live, the small courtyard is for Kou Xiao, Lin Mai and Zhou's to live, and there is a good wing room, Lin Mai asked Kou Xiao if this empty room is a guest room, Kou Xiao smiled slightly, and there was a trace of bitterness in his smile.

Judging from the layout of the room, the intelligent Lin Mai immediately sensed that this room was not for ordinary people, if he guessed correctly, Kou Xiao asked his father and mother to live in this room.

But from Kou Xiao's wry smile, Lin Mai could feel sadness again, maybe it had something to do with his father, right?

Until now, Kou Xiao has not mentioned anything about his family background, but only told Lin Mai's family to affirm their marriage, and leave everything to Kou Xiao himself, and only wait for the two to reach the age, they can get married and tie the knot together.

All promises made after tomorrow may be variable, although Kou Xiao can give Lin Mai a sense of security, but as a woman with the soul of a strong woman, Lin Mai still did not give up the idea of breaking out of the world on her own.

After visiting the mansion, Zhou rejected Kou Xiao's offer to stay with the mother and daughter, insisting that the two were not married and could not live under the same roof without the supervision of their elders.

Kou Xiao felt that what Zhou said was extremely true, so he arranged for Beihu to send the mother and daughter home, and repeatedly told Beihu that without his own instructions, Beihu must not come back without permission.

Kou Xiao originally wanted to send Mama Song to go with her, after all, she was worried that the mother and daughter would be bullied by the Lin family after they went back, but Lin Mai repeatedly insisted that Mama Song must stay and take care of Kou Xiao.

Because the toxins in his body may attack at any time, and there is no one with life experience to take care of him, Lin Mai is not at ease.

"I know my body, so you should be worried that when you go back and be bullied, there will be no tough people around you to support you." Kou Xiao said.

Lin Mai no longer paid attention to Kou Xiao, but handed a prescription to Mama Song and said, "Grab these medicines and fry them together for him to drink, which can slightly suppress the speed of the spread of toxins." ”

"Okay, it's still the young lady's thoughtfulness."

Mama Song's reply seemed to reveal that she did not want to leave Kou Xiao in the county and follow Lin Mai back to Xishan Village.

Seeing that Kou Xiao still looked worried, Lin Mai said: "Don't worry, there is Beihu, no one dares to bully me, if you miss me, remember to come and see me at any time." ”

Then Lin Mai said to Daxia and Haidong: "While you are protecting your master, don't forget to find the three-flavored herb, if his poison drags on, even the gods will not be able to save him." ”

Da Xia and Hai Dong glanced at each other, and immediately bowed their heads and said, "Yes, young lady!" ”

"Really, I haven't married yet, I'm embarrassed to call me that." Lin Mai pretended to be shy.

Before anyone else could speak, she suddenly quipped, "Call again." ”

With another "young lady" from Daxia and Haidong, everyone present was happy.

Kou Xiao just likes Lin Mai's clever and intelligent character, which is much more interesting than the ladies he has seen before.

Although she is a woman from a poor rural area, she has no poverty and sourness in her temperament, but on the contrary, she knows a lot, and the most important thing is that she is proficient in medical skills at a young age, she is simply a strange woman.

Lin Mai must not know that when she felt that meeting Kou Xiao was like picking up a treasure, Kou Xiao would often have the same thoughts when facing her.

Escorted by Beihu, Lin Mai and Zhou returned to Xishan Village.

Because I accompanied the Zhou family in the county seat for a long time, I bought a lot of things, and when I arrived at Lin's house, it was already dark, and it was time for every family to cook dinner.

Walking to the door of the house, Lin Mai saw the daughter-in-law of the Chen family walking out of her house with a sneaky look, and immediately returned to the gossip appearance of the past after seeing Lin Mai and Zhou, and walked forward with a smile.

"I said wheat, why didn't you live in that big house with your mother?"

"I asked her to come back, after all, the two are just married and haven't gotten married, so it's not good to live together like this to let people know." Zhou replied.

"What the eldest sister said makes sense, but it stands to reason that you are all women who have stepped into the rich and noble family with half a foot, and it is really unreasonable to come back to live in this firewood house."

The daughter-in-law of the Chen family said that it was reasonable, but Zhou still insisted on her own opinion, saying: "Alas, I am Changming's wife, so I naturally want to do filial piety for him at home, you also know that there are many people in the family, Bao'er is still young, and my father and mother are old, who lives in the firewood room if I don't live in the firewood room?" ”

"Sister Zhou is just too kind-hearted, in the past, they bullied you mother and son so much, and you still spoke for them." The daughter-in-law of the Chen family has a flamboyant tongue, and seems to be talking towards Lin Mai and Zhou, but in fact, she is on the surface and behind her back.

Lin Mai clearly remembered that in the past, the daughter-in-law of the Chen family often carried the Lin family behind her back to get close to the Zhou family, and gossiped and joked with people everywhere that the Zhou family and Lin Mai were not promising, and they were bullied at home and even lost their personal appearance.

"Where are you going to go this mealtime?" Lin Mai changed the subject.

The daughter-in-law of the Chen family was stunned for a moment, and said with a weak smile: "This is not stir-frying, I found that something was missing, so I went to the grandmother in the village to borrow some." ”

"What is going to go so far to borrow? Shall I ask you if there is one at my house? Lin Mai was puzzled.

"You don't prepare this kind of thing, only Grandma Sun has it, okay, I won't tell you, I'm leaving."

After speaking, the daughter-in-law of the Chen family left as if she had fled.

"Mother, I always feel that she is obedient, is she going to steal men behind Brother Chen's back?"

Lin Mai's mouth was unobstructed, so frightened that Zhou hurriedly looked around, and found that there was no one else except Beihu, so he breathed a sigh of relief and complained:

"How dare you say anything, even if you ...... Even if you're right, you have to turn a blind eye, and we're not gossips. ”
