Chapter 226: Each has its own calculations, and it hits it off
Old man Li and Mrs. Li's eyes lit up, and they went out, or they didn't come back to have children, but the two granddaughters didn't grow up drinking wind, of course they were qualified to ask for money.
So the four of them went to the village to inquire, and Li Yingniang watched in the bamboo shed, sullen, thinking about what to do in the future?
At this moment, the three widows carried a basket with a few eggs in it.
Li Yingniang's eyes lit up when she saw the third widow, and she hurriedly stepped forward, "Third aunt, are you okay lately?" ”
The third widow deliberately took advantage of the absence of others to come over to find Li Yingniang, "Yingniang, I'm not bad." If you are blessed by misfortune, you can be regarded as having a good life. It's just your parents, hey, pity your second sister-in-law and niece! Fortunately, your father and mother hurt you and didn't sell you. ”
Li Yingniang's eyes immediately turned red and she hugged the arm of the third widow, because Mrs. Li and the third widow usually have a lot of contacts, so Li Yingniang has a good relationship with the third widow.
"Third aunt, I have a big fate, when my father and mother sold me, I heard someone say that Mrs. Derui's name is Liu Paner, so we can come here. A little later, my mother sold me to the kiln. I begged them to sell me to big families, but they didn't agree, because they didn't think they had much money. Third aunt, you can help me. Please. ”
The third widow also secretly scolded Old Man Li and Mrs. Li in their hearts for being so ruthless.
She used to be very mean to her daughter-in-law, but she never thought of selling her daughter-in-law. Compared to Old Man Li and Mrs. Li, she is a good person!
Now she is a little calculating, she can get benefits, and at the same time, she can help Li Yingniang, which can be regarded as doing good deeds.
Thinking of this, the third widow suddenly became discouraged, and whispered: "Yingniang, the village chief is a good man, if he wants to say that his family will be eliminated, he will definitely do it." Mrs. Drey's won't let you settle in Jixiang Village, and you won't be able to stay here. Those officials are also kind to you for the sake of Mrs. Drew. Now they know that Lady Dre is tired of your family and will not be kind to you in the future. The best result is that you return to Xunyang Mansion and return to your hometown after the New Year. But if your father is like that, you will probably still be sold. ”
Li Yingniang choked up, didn't dare to cry loudly, and nodded again and again, "Third aunt, that's it, please save me." In the future, I will honor you and give me a way to live. ”
The third widow smiled and reached out to help straighten the hair in Li Yingniang's ear, "You poor child, hey." I also grew up watching you, and I can't bear to let you really be sold into a kiln. In this way, after your father and mother fall asleep, you will sneak out and go to the backyard of my shop to find me. I'll hide you first, and then you come out when your father and mother are driven away. At that time, it is impossible for the village chief to drive you away, a lonely woman, and you will be able to stay. ”
Li Yingniang was stunned, she didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and the three widows agreed.
Seeing that Li Yingniang's eyes were full of suspicion, the third widow smiled, "Don't worry, I didn't lie to you, I won't harm you." I'm a little selfish, but I really want to help you. Although your third brother and third sister-in-law have reconciled and divorced, the four children adopted by your third brother continue to be raised by Mrs. Drey, and will come back in the future. ”
"Your third brother is amazing, he is a military general of the fifth grade, and he has brought a lot of soldiers. After all, you are your third brother's own sister, as long as you don't have bad intentions in the future, can your third brother still take care of you? As for me, I didn't leave you behind, not to find those messy people for you, but for me to remarry the big family in the local Zhoujia Village. ”
"Now I live with me in the backyard of the shop, you also know my family, my daughter-in-law remarried Li Wulang, I have a lock by my side, in the Zhou family, there are three stepsons, the eldest and the second have become married, and they are all locals. The third brother is also saying kiss, although you don't have as much money and dowry as the locals, but your third brother is a five-grade military general, and you are the sister of a military general, this identity is much more useful than money. ”
"If you can marry the third child of the Zhou family, you can also be regarded as my daughter-in-law. At my age, it is impossible to have children with Old Man Zhou, so let's have one mind, are we still afraid that life will be difficult in the Zhou family? Isn't it better than being sold to the kiln by your father? Anyway, I have good intentions, you can think about it. ”
After listening to the explanation of the three widows, Li Yingniang suddenly realized that this was the case!
Li Yingniang breathed a sigh of relief and thought for a moment, "Third aunt, I believe you." As long as those four little cubs are here, my third brother will definitely come back. I can borrow strength, that's my value. It's just that how was the third child of the family that week? ”
The third widow saw that Li Yingniang agreed, and she was instantly relieved, "The third child of the Zhou family has studied for a few years, although he was not admitted to Xiucai, but he is a good person, and he works as a bookkeeper in a shop in the county seat. Now my shop in Jixiang Town will be open soon, and then I will come and open the shop together. looks thoughtful, has a good character, and does not prostitute or gamble. Anyway, your father and mother will never be able to find you such a good husband. Think about it yourself, my shop's shop is the fifth in the street of Jixiang Town. ”
As soon as Li Yingniang wanted to respond, she heard her parents' voices, nodded, and changed to other topics, "Third aunt, my father and mother are here." ”
Old man Li and Mrs. Li were out to inquire around, and many people were reluctant to talk to them, but a few families who had a good relationship before told them privately that Li Yuanqing was still alive and was still a five-rank general.
Old man Li and Mrs. Li, who were still dead and wanted to stay in the local area, suddenly hardened their waists again, as long as their son was promising, they would have a good life anywhere. Even if you go back to your hometown, it's not bad.
At least there is a house and land, coupled with his son's identity as a five-rank military general, he can be looked down upon by others wherever he goes.
Tomorrow he will write to his third son and ask Li Yuanqing to send him money.
When Mrs. Li saw the three widows, she was not as enthusiastic as she was at the beginning, "Third brother and sister, you are so lucky, I heard that your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have remarried?" ”
The third widow heard the sourness in Mrs. Li's tone, but she didn't care, she would soon have a daughter-in-law who had the same heart as her, what was it to be said by Mrs. Li?
"It's changed, it's been so many years, and I don't want to guard it for the dead ghost man anymore. My daughter-in-law has also remarried, and she is doing well. The court encouraged remarriage, and no one said anything about us here. The third widow chuckled, "You've been spinning around, and you're tired, aren't you?" I've saved a few eggs at home and I'll bring them to you. It's getting late, and I won't disturb your rest. ”
The three widows were dressed in purple, their hair was neatly combed, and two silver hairpins were inserted in their hair, which was much better looking than in their hometown.
Old man Li stared at the three widows, and he didn't have a lot of eyebrows before, but he didn't succeed, compared to the old woman at home, these three widows still have a taste.
When Mrs. Li saw the man staring at the three widows, she was immediately unhappy, took the basket, and sent the three widows out, "Third brother and sister, it's getting late, you should go back and rest early." After all, you are remarried, but you can't come out in the middle of the night like before, in case someone misunderstands you for stealing people, you won't have a good time. ”
Originally, the three widows secretly left Li Yingniang behind, and they felt a little guilty in their hearts, but now that Mrs. Li said this, she suddenly felt at ease.
The third widow smiled, her white skin was more eye-catching, and she had achieved her goal at this time, and she didn't want to waste time here, "What the second sister-in-law said was, I'll leave now." ”
