To be honest, she didn't need to go to the Li family, just looking at the house, she could imagine how much her second aunt and cousin had suffered over the years.

In this place, if she hadn't come to worship Auntie, she would never have appeared here.

It's fine now, but if it rains, she can't imagine how to walk on this dirt road.

As the carriage walked, it didn't take long for Zhou Caijing to finally see a decent house.

She saw that the carriage seemed to be heading in the direction of the house, so she asked Li Yuan, who was sitting beside her.

"Sister, whose house is that? In this village, it's ok! But it looks like the new cover is not long ago? ”

Li Yuan followed the direction of her finger and said, "Well, in the winter moon last year, your cousin-in-law found someone to build it." ”

When Zhou Caijing heard this, she didn't ask any more.

Smart as she knows, this is Lijiaao, Xie Yanzhi has a house in the county seat and Fucheng, and he will definitely not build another house in Lijiaao.

He will be like this, most likely because he sees that his brother-in-law is having a hard time, so he specially built it for him.

Wang Can, who was also sitting in this carriage, covered his mouth and smiled: "Cousin, I'm afraid you don't know, brother-in-law's house is built with other intentions." ”

Zhou Caijing knew very little about Li Yuan and Xie Yanzhi, only that she was remarried.

When he heard this at this time, his face was full of curiosity: "Oh? How do you say that? ”

"Brother-in-law and Brother Junzi are brothers! When the brother-in-law was thinking about his sister, he was afraid that his sister would refuse him not long after he left. Then at that time, Brother Jun Zi was walking outside, and he always used the excuse that Brother Jun Zi asked him to do this and that, such as digging a well, pankang or something, so he came over here and walked around. At that time, my sister and I set up a stall in the county seat to sell noodles, and the family tossed with him, and we didn't know when he built a house here. ”

"Later, when it was cold, Brother Junzi came back from a dart, and we went back to the old house because we wanted to get married, and what happened to the result, we found this house. Brother Jun Zi said that when he came back, his brother-in-law told him that he had built a room and asked if he could come and live at that time. Brother Junzi told me that my brother-in-law had paid for the house himself, could he say no? And then we come back and see, you see, is this called one? ”

Zhou Caijing looked at the house carefully, and said, "Well, it depends on how to define it." If there is one room, it is called one. But in terms of the room, there must be a lot of that height, right? ”

"Well, the upper and lower floors add up to several more than the old house next to it. The lighting on the second floor is OK, and no one has ever lived there, and my cousin lives at night? ”

"Okay!"

Although Zhou Caijing disliked the poverty here, she saw that the house was newly built, and Wang Can said that no one had lived in it, so she happily agreed.

Originally, she planned to come and worship today, and return in the evening before the gates were closed.

But since she has a place to live, she doesn't mind staying here for two more days, and by the way, she knows where her second aunt and cousin live.

In this way, after she returned to the capital, she could talk to her aunt in detail.

My mother has been sick in bed all these years, and her aunt has to take care of the housework, and she can't leave if she wants to.

But it would be good to wait for the eldest brother to get married after the spring of next year and have a sister-in-law.

When the time comes, the chores of the Hou Mansion will be handed over to the sister-in-law, and the aunt will be able to walk away whether she wants to come here, or go back to see the place where she has lived since she was a child!

*

Although Zhou Caijing wants to worship her second aunt, since she has come to this place, she has to go to meet the elders of the Li family.

Even if there are two elders in Xinyang Mansion, and two of them were seen in the county seat yesterday, the rest are in this Lijiaao.

Therefore, after she and Li Yuan's sisters and brothers drove the two carriages back to the Li family, they took the girl and the coachman who were holding a bunch of things in their hands to the Li family's old house.

Because the two daughters-in-law of the Ling family have not yet given birth, they have been busy working in the fields with everyone during this time.

When she heard that there were guests at home, she was a little puzzled.

When she got home, she saw her two daughters-in-law holding bright cloths in their hands and flattered expressions on their faces.

Her gaze soon fell on the face in the courtyard that was very similar to Li Yuan.

didn't need Li Yuan and Wang Can to introduce her, just listen to her: "Yuan Niang, is this the third lady of the Hou Mansion, the daughter of your mother's twin sister?" Looks really like you. The two of you, one dressed up younger, the other dressed up a little more mature, went out and said that it was a twin sister, and some people believed it. ”

Zhou Caijing nodded with a smile on her face, and asked the girl to hand the cloth and pastries in her hand to the Ling family: "Uncle in-law, I don't know what to give here, so I bought some cloth and pastries at random, and I hope you don't dislike it." My sister and brother lost both of their parents at a young age, and all these years, thanks to your care. ”

Ling Shi looked at the things in his hand, and when he heard Zhou Caijing's words, his face was on fire. Spicy.

What does she have to take care of?

Except for the second brother and sister who were still alive, and Yuanniang got married in the past few years, she took turns with her third brother and sister and mother-in-law, and went to help with laundry, cooking, and medicine, and helped her turn over and scrub her body, but she didn't do anything.

She has many children herself, the marriage of her children in those years, the birth of grandchildren one after another, and the busy work in the fields, so whether it is Junzi or Yuanniang, she has no extra energy to take care of it.

When the second brother and sister are gone, Junzi has grown up, he works outside all the year round to make money to pay off debts, and Yuanniang is far away in Shuiyun Village.

After a long period of non-communication, she didn't bother with them.

If it weren't for Junzi coming to the door before, saying that Yuanniang was going to be tortured by her in-laws, she would have almost forgotten this niece.

Therefore, she was ashamed to hear this.

Stuff, she took it, hot hands!

Li Yuan saw Ling's embarrassment, so he said: "Uncle, we still have to bring Caijing to worship my father, so we have to go up the mountain at this time, so we won't delay here." ”

Ling Shi reacted and nodded again and again: "Okay, the dew has dried at this hour, and it is just right to go up the mountain." Go and come back quickly, I'll cook, and I'll eat here at noon! ”

Li Yuan didn't be polite to her, "Okay, then I'll ask Cai Wei to send some rice noodles and meat." ”

Zhou Caijing saw that after she spoke, the eldest aunt reacted uncomfortably, so when she got out of the Li family's old house, she asked: "Sister, is the relationship between you and your eldest aunt not very good?" ”

At least the relationship between Li Yuan and Ma's third aunt was okay when she saw her yesterday.

And that grandpa was okay too.

With the grandmother who is now in Fucheng, it is also okay.

Therefore, the entire Lao Li family has the worst relationship with this eldest uncle?

Could it be that this eldest aunt bullied her cousin when she was still young when her cousin was gone?

Just when Zhou Caijing's face became more and more heavy, Li Yuan, who was afraid that she would misunderstand, said directly: "No, no, Caijing, you misunderstood!" ”
