Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 77 Li Family
Mrs. Yuan was a little skeptical when she heard Mrs. Mei's words, but Mrs. Mei was still speaking with certainty:
"Sister, you must have been deceived. Many people saw the conflict between her and my wife.

You have also seen my eldest daughter-in-law. She is a straight-tempered person, and all her emotions are reflected on her face.

She was furious when she caught the gossiper, and her face became fierce. She had denied that she didn't say anything before, but when someone came next to her, she started crying without saying a word.

It made others think that my eldest daughter-in-law was bullying others, and they used the bad words spread by that person to attack my daughter-in-law.

It was also at that time that my daughter-in-law was sure that this was the person who had been speaking ill of our family outside! "

"This……"

Mrs. Yuan was surprised and confused after hearing this.

Why did she feel that Mrs. Mei's description sounded like she knew someone who was not actually the same person?
While coaxing Yusheng, Mrs. Mei paid attention to Mrs. Yuan's expression. Seeing that Mrs. Yuan did not share the same hatred with her as she expected, Mrs. Mei couldn't help but murmur in her heart:
Is it possible that the other party has been won over by people from the Li family a long time ago?

She also thought that her family was really busy when they were building a house some time ago, and she didn't pay attention to some aspects.

Take the Li Jiye family for example. The whole family has no influence on this family, but they are being smeared by this family behind their backs. It’s really weird!

At this time, Mei Qian, who was eavesdropping with Cui Er in the kitchen, also noticed this.

"That old lady Yuan has a lot of contacts with the Li family. She doesn't seem to believe what she said?"

Mei Qian whispered to herself and was heard by Cui'er. Cui'er also thought about it and said: "Maybe the Li family treats the Yuan family like good people, but they are not that kind to our family. Look at people." Put down the dishes.”

"Is that so?"

Mei Qian was somewhat doubtful about Cui'er's thoughts, and Mrs. Yuan also went home doubtful about Mrs. Mei's remarks.

···
As soon as Mrs. Yuan came home, she happened to see her three daughters-in-law sitting together embroidering.

She walked over and took a look, hey!
Did she not care too much about her daughter-in-law's prostitution? Looking at it now, Mrs. Yuan just feels that with their skills, they can only do it in the yard with the door closed.

"Mom? Are you back so soon?"

The eldest daughter-in-law greeted Mrs. Yuan first, and Mrs. Yuan nodded. The younger daughter-in-law had already returned to the house and brought out a small chair for her to sit on.

After Mrs. Yuan sat down by the way, she said, "As for the family named Li behind our house, does anyone in their family come out to wash clothes on weekdays?"

"Mom, around here, except for the well in our yard where people wash and wash vegetables, don't everyone else have to go to the creek in front to wash themselves?"

After receiving the answers from her daughters-in-law, Mrs. Yuan understood.

She looked at the eldest daughter-in-law Xiang Shi again and asked: "The eldest lady of the Li family came to visit earlier, was it you who entertained her?
You said that person was a virtuous and dignified man. Why did I hear different news from the old lady of the Mei family today? "

Speaking of the old lady from the Mei family, the three daughters-in-law remembered what their mother-in-law was doing today.

Their family also heard the curses at noon, but they didn't say anything offensive. Anyway, they had seen a lot of quarrels and curses along the way.

What they are most concerned about is why this happened.

"Mom, are you saying that there is a conflict between the Mei family and the Li family?"

Xiang Shi immediately understood why her mother-in-law suddenly asked about this matter. Seeing Mrs. Yuan nodding, Xiang Shi frowned slightly and said:

"That person is a close-knit person. I rarely see her show up. Except for the time she came to visit, I have only seen her once or twice at other times. She is indeed a dignified person. How did she get into trouble with the Mei family?"

After receiving Xiang's evaluation, Mrs. Yuan repeated what she heard from Mrs. Mei today.

This time, it was the youngest daughter-in-law Wang who spoke first: "The one who went out to wash clothes should be the daughter-in-law of the master of the Li family, right?"

"Ah?" Mrs. Yuan frowned, "Are you sure, Yun Niang? He still has a little girl at home?"

"Of course I'm sure that the person knocked on our backyard door before and wanted to use the well water in our backyard to wash clothes.

At that time, I disliked her seductive clothes and flirtatious attitude, so I didn't let her in. "

Speaking of the young lady, the younger daughter-in-law's face became ugly and she curled her lips in disdain. "I really want to know about that little lady.

Because the eldest wife of the Li family had not had a child for many years, she gave birth to a brother for the master of the Li family, and was brought here by the master.

A few days ago, the eldest lady of the Li family came to visit me just to send her brother to study. "

Now the three children of the Yuan family are being taught and practiced calligraphy by the Yuan family's elder brother. The Yuan family academy was once well-known in the Gyeonggi area.

I'm afraid this person has heard of it before, so he came to send his children to study.

"But when my husband met the child later, he felt that it was not suitable and pushed him away."

What Yuan Jia Dalang said was not appropriate. In fact, the other party's qualifications were not good, but they just left room for each other and did not criticize them.

In just a few words, Mrs. Xiang explained the relationship between the Li family and their Yuan family. She also added some supplementary words from her youngest daughter-in-law, Ms. Wang. Mrs. Yuan now had a bad impression of the Li family.

"The Li family... didn't betray this young lady when something bad happened. You said that the head of the Li family can be considered to have affection for this young lady."

In fact, when talking about this, Mrs. Yuan herself felt a little sick.

The object of a man's affection is not his real wife, but a young lady who seems to have evil intentions.

The more Mrs. Yuan thought about it, the more she felt that the Li family was not good enough. She added, "Now that we are here, our life is not as good as before. Since we no longer have servants to serve us, even my wife continues to work, so why don't she know how to restrain her words and deeds?"

Old Mrs. Yuan sighed and added, "I have also seen those two ladies from the Mei family. One of them is reckless by nature and speaks without caring when she is angry;

One seemed weak, but she gave birth to a smart and profound granddaughter that Mrs. Mei liked. This one was probably smart and cautious.

When I was talking to her house this afternoon, I didn't see the two of them. I guess they went out to do something.

As for the Li family - since Da Lang also feels that his children are not suitable, as elders, it would be better for us to have less contact. "

···
Mei Qian took out a small piece of Lulu beast meat that she had collected and mixed it on top of the pink rabbit meat that she had washed early in the morning.

When the pot was hot, Mei Qian put the top piece of Lulu meat into the pot first. Then she stir-fried the Lulu meat to remove the oil. She took some of it out in a small bowl and reserved it for making fish. The rest was added directly. In the pot, came a stir-fried rabbit meat.

Speaking of cooking fish, Mei Qian turned her head and glanced at the two big fat fish that had been killed in the basket. To be cautious, she asked again towards the yard:
"This fish is quite big, milk. How many days have these two fish been stewed?"

Just when Mrs. Mei came out after coaxing Yu Sheng to sleep, she heard Mei Qian's question and immediately said, "Have you done all that to feed the pigs?!"

Mei Qian: "..."

"Didn't you ask Cui'er to buy tofu? One fish to stew with tofu, and another fish to hang under the eaves and blow on, and eat again tomorrow. How can you eat all the good food in one meal?"

Mrs. Mei walked to the kitchen and looked at the big fat fish in the basket, each weighing almost four kilograms. Along the way, she saw two pieces of tofu raised in water in a large bowl next to her. Mrs. Mei frowned.

She originally wanted to tell Mei Qian to save a piece of tofu to eat tomorrow, but when she saw it, she could eat two pieces of tofu and not be full after eating one piece.

"Why is the tofu in the south smaller than the tofu in our house? How much does it cost?"

Mrs. Mei asked Cui'er beside her, and Cui'er answered honestly: "Three yuan for one yuan, five yuan for two yuan."

"Why didn't he rob it?! The place where our house used to be was only a dollar a dollar! They were all bigger than this!"

Mrs. Mei was troubled by just a piece of tofu.

Even tofu is so expensive under the emperor’s feet!
Hearing Mrs. Mei's complaint, Mei Qian glanced at the soybeans in the sack in the corner. She thought that making tofu should be on her agenda...

　Mei Qian: I’m doing some small business, but I feel tired.

　　Mrs. Mei: Lazy guy!
　　Mei Qian:......
