At night, Li Shi lay on the bed, thinking about the Jia family over and over again, and his heart was so panicked that he couldn't sleep for a while.

Brother Ming pretended to sleep hard, and seeing that it was nothing serious, he simply turned around and faced the bed, and fell asleep peacefully.

Grandma Sun, who was keeping vigil, heard the movement in the bed, quietly got up and came to the bedside, and asked cautiously: "Madam, do you want to let the kitchen heat a bowl of milk, and the milk will calm your nerves." ”

Li Shi propped himself up and sat up, looked at Brother Ming, who was asleep, stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain and said, "Forget about the milk, you can prepare some flower tea for me." ”

Grandma Sun went away in response, and soon, she made a pot of rock sugar chrysanthemum tea.

Li Shi took a sip of tea, motioned for Grandma Sun to sit down as well, and asked, "What do you think about the affairs of the Jia family?" ”

Mama Sun knew that she had been minding this matter all the time, so she said slowly: "The slave maid thinks that this matter may be really a coincidence, after all, Miss Chu Chu is naturally beautiful and attracts attention, and she is not destined to be a thing in the pool." ”

She didn't have the heart to speak for Tong Chuchu, but her face was there, and it was impossible not to be noticed...... It's really too ostentatious, thinking about it, on the way from Liuzhou to Texas before, I don't know how many people have begun to inquire openly and secretly.

"Madam, judging from the slave's superficial opinion, the fault of this matter is not Miss Chu Chu, she may be really innocent."

Li Shi took another sip of tea and said lightly: "You are talking to her." ”

Hearing this, Mama Sun lowered her head and said seriously: "Madam, the slave's heart has always been towards you. ”

Li Shi said: "There is no wind and no waves. Our Zhu family and Jia family have always been at odds with each other, looking at harmony and anger, but in fact, they are competing with each other. The Jia family sent a person like Qian Matchmaker today, which was clearly deliberate, deliberately did not take the Zhu family in his eyes, and deliberately blocked my heart. ”

Every time Li Shi thought of Mrs. Qian's pink and red face, he felt disgusted. With someone like her, she dared to come to the door to propose marriage, it was really too late for people to see jokes.

Mama Sun persuaded: "Why should Madame be angry? If the Jia family is really sincere, they will definitely send someone again. Moreover, Miss Chu Chu is not from the Zhu family after all, and she is just a distant relative, why do you bother to be distracted by her, it's not worth it. The slave maid felt that the Chu Chu girl must have accumulated a pimple in her heart because of the matter of the eldest young master before, so it is not a long-term plan for you to keep her by your side...... If she doesn't want to, no one will force her, but if she is willing, you can't stop it, Madame. It doesn't matter if she's going to marry a stupid, stupid, or crazy wilt, she likes to break jars and breaks, so let her go. ”

It is said that after Tong Chuchu made such a thing in the yard, her reputation was no longer clear.

Although it didn't work out, after all, it was Zhu Jintang who she seduced first, and she hugged and hugged her, even if she was still a virgin, it was looked down upon.

In Grandma Sun's opinion, Tong Chuchu can't stay in the Zhu family for too long, the longer she stays, the more gossip. It's better to find a reason to leave early, so as not to be judged all day long.

Li Shi didn't know that Tong Chuchu had a bad reputation in the hospital. She originally wanted to say a few good words for the child, but after thinking about it, the Zhu family is so big, up and down, there are many people, and there are different thoughts. She can control one mouth, but she can't control the mouths of so many people...... Moreover, Shen Yuechen is pregnant, which has completely made her completely break the idea of being an evil mother-in-law. Even though he felt a little guilty about Tong Chuchu in his heart, he could only give up on her.

Li Shi groaned for a while before he said: "I am sisters with her mother, so I can't watch her jump in the fire pit." The second young man of the Jia family is a fool who doesn't know what to do, he is confused all day long, and he does some ridiculous things that don't matter, which makes people laugh and look down on him! If Chu Chu really married, wouldn't he have to be laughed at for the rest of his life......"

Mama Sun thought completely opposite to her, and only said: "Madame feels sorry for the girl." However, according to the power of the Jia family, if she is really willing to marry the Chu Chu girl in three matchmakers, it will be her blessing. Madame, why don't you go back and ask the girl what she means?" ”

It doesn't matter if it's a fire pit or a dung pit, as long as the person is willing to jump down, then others can't stop it if they want to.

With her understanding of Tong Chuchu, Mama Sun knew that she was a woman who was unwilling to live a life of mediocrity, since the Zhu family was rich and noble, she couldn't get her share, so she had to find another gold owner.

Since the Tong family sent her here, it is estimated that they never thought about taking her back again, they just thought that they would give it a go, and in the end, it would depend on her own creation.

Li Shi thought about Grandma Sun's words repeatedly, but felt that it was still inappropriate. Even if she wants to marry, she can't marry the Jia family, so she is not rare, and the Zhu family is not rare.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Mama Sun didn't want to persuade her again, so she just said, "Anyway, Madame should ask Miss Chuchu what she meant......

Li Shi drank the tea in the cup, and then said: "As soon as the time is over tomorrow, you will let her come to see me, don't come early, so as not to let others bump into me." ”

Mama Sun said "Understood", knowing that this other person was referring to Shen Yuechen.

However, although Shen Yuechen was lying in bed all day, she was very well informed.

Not only did she know that the Zhu family had a rare guest today, but the Li family quietly picked up Tong Chuchu.

Chun Ming gritted her teeth in anger, thinking, what kind of moth did this eldest lady come up with? Okay, what are you going to do with that little goblin? She was angry, but she didn't dare to talk nonsense at will.

Shen Yuechen was not in a hurry or impatient, although she was taboo about Tong Chuchu, she still did not act rashly, she just wanted to see what the Li family would plan, and listen to the news first.

Early the next morning, Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen went over to say goodbye as usual, which made the old lady frown slightly, but said with a smile on her face: "I won't let you come, you want to come, it's really disobedient." ”

When Zhu Jintang heard this, he hurriedly echoed: "Isn't she just obedient?" It's not that the child in the belly misses you, so I have to come. ”

When the old man heard this, he smiled with joy on his face: "Since this is the case, it is time to come, it is time to come." ”

The old lady also smiled, slowly stretched out a finger, pointed to Shen Yuechen's lower abdomen, and said: "This child will be coaxed when he is still in the belly, it can be seen that there is a mother and a son, and the mother and son are equally likable." ”

The old couple will sit on the soft couch, and a small coffee table is placed in the middle, with tea and fruit on it, as well as all kinds of delicate snacks, which are full.

The two old men sat there with a smile on their faces, feeling uncomfortable for a while.

Shen Yuechen smiled, just came to the old lady, and said, "Say hello to the old man, say hello to the old lady." ”

Old Man Zhu nodded with a smile, and the old lady said, "Don't exhaust my great-grandson, get up and talk quickly." ”

Shen Yuechen got up slowly and was about to sit down, but saw the old lady stretch out her hand to her, pulled her to sit on the soft couch together, and said gently: "The cushion on the chair is not as soft as this, and it hurts to sit for a long time." ”

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly, and said busily: "Old lady Xie is kind." ”

The old lady patted her hand and continued: "In the morning, I heard that the old lady of my in-laws came yesterday, why didn't I let people come over to inform her, so that I could meet her too. ”

Shen Yuechen lowered her eyes slightly. If she really wanted to see her grandmother, she would naturally not need to send someone to inform her, and she would take the initiative to invite her. However, elders are elders, and since she said such polite words, the juniors should follow her wishes......

"Grandmother originally wanted to come over to catch up with you, but unfortunately, time was in a hurry, and there were some trivial things waiting to be done at home, so I went back first, but she specially instructed me to let me bring it to the second elder. Grandmother said that she would come back when she had time and bring you some snacks that she had made herself. ”

The old lady smiled and nodded, and echoed: "It's a good thing that the old man comes often." ”

In small talk, time always flies. When the hour came, the men were going out to run errands.

Taking advantage of the fact that Shen Yuechen was left behind by the old lady, Li Shi took the excuse to go back to the room and took a little time to see Tong Chuchu.

Tong Chuchu had been waiting for a long time, Li Shi glanced at her, and saw that she was brightly dressed, and she seemed to have been carefully dressed, and she couldn't help but move her eyebrows.

Looking at her complexion, she must have slept all night, but unfortunately, she stayed up all night for her.

Li Shi was a little unhappy in her heart, but she still maintained her usual smile on her face.

"You're early. How did you sleep last night? It must be more comfortable than the Guanyin Temple, right? ”

Tong Chuchu said meekly: "Thank you aunt for taking good care of me, I can rest here comfortably, Chu Chu is very grateful." ”

Li Shi said lightly: "You should take care of me, who made me your own aunt." ”

Tong Chuchu lowered his eyes slightly, waiting for Li Shi to continue speaking.

"Yesterday I was a little anxious, and I didn't ask clearly. Today, I want to have a good chat with you. Li pointed to the opposite place and motioned for her to sit down.

She knew that what she had to say was very long, and if Tong Chuchu kept standing like this, then she would have to keep her head up and talk, she was really tired and panicked.

"Yes." Tong Chuchu sat down obediently.

Li Shi didn't sleep well last night, and he had to rely on strong tea to refresh himself.

The strong tea was bitter, Li Shi frowned slightly unconsciously, and then asked, "What do you think about the Jia family's door-to-door proposal?" ”

Tong Chuchu was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "Chu Chu doesn't know, everything is willing to listen to my aunt's arrangement." ”

When Li Shi heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, but he pursed his lips and smiled: "So, you yourself don't object." ”

Her laughter was soft, as if she were sneering.

If she didn't want to, she wouldn't have spoken out against it right away, instead of putting on a resigned appearance as she did now.

Tong Chuchu lowered his head: "Auntie, Chu Chu is self-aware and knows where his identity is, so I also know that I have no qualifications to choose." ”

Li Shi continued to sneer: "I see that you don't want to pick, but you have already picked it." ”

Li Shi had planned in advance that if Tong Chuchu objected to this matter, then the Jia family's proposal to marry would have nothing to do with her, but it was just wishful thinking on the part of the Jia family. However, if Tong Chuchu didn't refuse, then she would have done it with her heart, and it was the Jia family she picked, not the Jia family......

Tong Chuchu listened to her laughter, raised his eyes and glanced at her, his expression was still the same, and he only said lightly: "Auntie, you must have misunderstood me, I and the second young man of the Jia family have really only met once in the temple, and that's all." ”

Li Shi said calmly: "With your swaggering appearance, just this side, everything will be fine." The second young man of the Jia family was already mentally incomplete, and now, being so fascinated by you, he is naturally even more fascinated, and he doesn't know the southeast and northwest. ”

She knows very well how capable Tong Chuchu is, and any man will inevitably be moved when he sees her.

Tong Chuchu smiled faintly: "I really don't know, whether my aunt is praising me or scolding me again." Chu Chu, since I have so much ability, why is my eldest cousin indifferent to me, and even disdainful. Perhaps, my weight is no more than that......"

Li Shi listened to her words, stared at her eyes, a look of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes, and then sighed: "Yes, yes, I saw you wrong, no, it was your mother who also misjudged you." Since you have such ambitions, you don't dare to choose the Jia family. If you want, if you want, you can choose a better and more decent family, and you don't have to worry about the big cousin's business. Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory in the world, not to mention that it is such a thing as fate, no one can say for sure. ”

Li Shi didn't want to persuade her bitterly, but just wanted to mention her, her resentment was too deep, almost bottomless.

Tong Chuchu finally laughed out loud, with an indescribable coquettishness between her eyebrows and eyes, a meek and humble attitude without any talent, and her laughter was crisp, revealing a faint presumptuousness.

Li's voice was lukewarm, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Tong Chuchu said quietly: "I just feel very lucky to have a kind and loving elder like my aunt, who not only thinks about me everywhere, but also comforts me intimately." ”

The sarcasm in her words was obvious, Li Shi didn't expect her to be like this, and unconsciously cleared his throat, wanting to cover up his weakness.

Li Shi didn't like her current attitude, so he said coldly: "If you really appreciate me, you should be cautious and pay attention to your words and deeds, instead of secretly hooking up with outsiders and not being unorthodox." ”

She deliberately said something ugly, but Tong Chuchu was unmoved, and only said: "I have always followed my aunt's wishes, I will do what you ask me to do?" Never defied, did you? ”

Lai's artificiality made her feel a little annoyed.

Seeing that she still dared to talk back to herself, Li Shi immediately said in a deep voice: "What about this family business of the Jia family?" Are you ready to listen to me? ”

Tong Chuchu said: "Marriage is not something that I can do alone, and I still have to listen to my parents after all." ”

No matter what Li Shi said, she was just her aunt, and if she wanted to be the master of the marriage, she had to ask her mother to nod and agree.

Tong Chuchu had already written a letter to his mother before, telling her everything he had encountered in the Zhu family, telling her not to have any extravagant hopes for the Zhu family, people here are all snobs, only care about immediate interests, and only value their own people......

Tong Chuchu knows her mother's character very well, if she knows these things, she will definitely not believe in the Li family anymore, and she will not object to the affairs of the Jia family, because she loves money and power, although the Jia family is not bigger than the Zhu family, but it can also be regarded as a rich family, and it is also a piece of fat......

This piece of fat is not good-looking and not easy to eat, but at the moment, it is the best choice.

Tong Chuchu knows very well that with a small family like himself and a mediocre background from a small place, how can he get into the eyes of the Jia family.

However, with her face and the confused heart of the second young man of the Jia family, then everything will be possible.

If the second young man of the Jia family is not stupid, intact, and as proud and noble as Zhu Jintang, then she can only be a concubine at most.

is just a concubine, no identity, no status, even if you have a son in the future, you have to call others as your mother, and then, for the rest of your life, look at people's faces, and live a life with a snort.

During the time she lived in Zhu's house, she had seen enough of other people's faces and listened to other people's gossip...... Therefore, in the days to come, she didn't want to live like this anymore.

Seeing that she didn't eat oil and salt, Li Shi simply put down the words and said, "Hello, if I can't discipline you, let your mother discipline you." I've had someone send her a letter, and let's see how she decides. ”

Li Shi is very confident in his sister's loyalty. Therefore, she decided that the Jia family's family business would definitely not succeed.

However, her thoughts seemed too complacent.

Two days later, the matchmaker of the Jia family came to the door again, and this time the matchmaker was still the fat and powdery money matchmaker, her expression looked a lot more excited than last time, the whole person's eyebrows fluttered, and the laughter was even more presumptuous and harsh, which was displeasing to people.

Every time Li Shi saw her, he felt that she was like a sticky bed bug, once it was hot, it was difficult to shake off.

The arrival of Mrs. Qian not only shocked Li, but also disturbed the old lady.

It was the first time that Mrs. Qian had the opportunity to talk to Mrs. Zhu, and she couldn't help but be even more excited: "Ouch, my old lady, I didn't expect that I, a rough woman in the market, would have the opportunity to talk to a decent person like you." ”

Old Madam Zhu glanced at her, her expression was full of disgust, but after all, she came here under the guise of the Jia family, and she had to give her some thin noodles.

Old Mrs. Zhu was a little helpless, and only raised her head and glanced at Li Shi gently, with a slightly unhappy expression.

Seeing this, Li Shi had to take the lead in speaking: "Mrs. Qian, I think I made it very clear last time, we can't agree to this family matter of the Jia family." ”

When Mrs. Qian heard this, she was unmoved and just continued to laugh and said: "Hey, don't be in a hurry to refuse, Mrs. Jia, I have been instructed by Mrs. Jia today to sincerely talk about family affairs, so you must let me finish my words first, don't let me go back and be bad." As you know, it's not easy for us rough people to work all day to earn those few hard-earned money. ”
