Flowers are expensive

Chapter 46
Man Ting nodded and said: "Drink it, I was just about to ask grandma, is there anything added in it?" Guan Shi laughed and said: "It seems that she has been tricked, right? That's why you can speak confidently. Come back and tell us that she is not a sister, right?" Man Ting lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and showed a slightly shy smile, and nodded slightly.Kwan laughed even louder.

Aunt Xie asked blankly, "Mother, what are you laughing at? Why can't you understand?"

Guan said with a smile: "Do you think I've lived this age in vain? When Manting came back to fetch medicine in the rain for the first time, I saw that Manting liked that girl. But ah, we've been married for so long Man Ting didn't even touch his hand!" This made Man Ting even more embarrassed, but it surprised Aunt Xie, his wife and Jin Ling.Aunt Xie stared at Man Ting and asked, "Son, is it true? You haven't touched her for so long?"

Man Ting smiled but didn't answer, Guan said again: "Isn't it? When you coaxed him home with my illness last time, I just babbled out some of his kid's words. Otherwise, I can only watch but not eat now! If she is really a slutty girl, why doesn't she let the whole court touch her? She has to sleep on a bed and a bunk on the floor, so separated? I didn't think about it at the time She is still a perfect body, just thinking, my grandson has guarded you for such a long time, it is impossible not to let you touch it! So I added something to the wine. "

Man Ting almost burst out laughing, no wonder Li Hua was uncharacteristically active that night!
Aunt Xie was quite surprised, she sat next to Manting and shook his arm and asked, "Tell me honestly, is she really a sister?"

"Ok!"

"Haven't anyone touched it?"

Man Ting really didn't want to answer such a question, but had to hum.Aunt Xie patted Man Ting's arm and said, "Damn boy, don't you just make up such an excuse because you want us to recognize her?"

"There's no need for Manting," Guan shook his head and said, "Did you waste your time persuading him when he came back the last two times? You almost tied him up in the house and was not allowed to go out. If he really wants to make that idea, I've said it a long time ago, why bother with you slowly? It seems that my wine really works!"

"Since this is the case, then we can't delay the girl! We have to take her back and offer tea to recognize my relatives!" Xie Wu finally found a chance to interject.

"But her reputation... No one will believe that she is not a sister!" Aunt Xie patted her legs and said anxiously, it sounded like she was aggrieved.

"Grandma, father, mother," Man Ting said with condensed eyes, "If you really can't let her go, I won't force her, but she is my daughter-in-law Xie Manting, and no one can change it. As long as you say no, in the future I won't bring her back, but I won't go back to this home either!"

"What?" Jin Ling bit her finger angrily, and managed to suppress the anger in her throat.She really didn't expect that Manting would not go home because of Qin Lihua's sister!Damn it!hateful!Qin Lihua is a disaster!Why is this so?Did Brother Man Ting really get stunned by Qin Lihua?What's so good about that girl?

The three elders also gasped, they really didn't expect Manting's attitude to be so firm.Mrs. Xie lost her mind, turned her gaze to Mrs. Guan, and asked, "Mother, what do you think?" Mrs. Guan showed a kind smile and said, "What else can I do? Could it be that Manting was kicked out of the house? He is wandering outside After so many years, I finally returned home and met a daughter-in-law I like, so I should live a good life! I have the final say on this matter, let Man Ting bring that girl back to offer tea and recognize her relatives!"

"But people in the village will say..."

"Who dares to say anything? Do you believe in Man Ting or those long-billed ducks outside? Maybe it was Cao Meizhi who had a bad intention at the beginning and deliberately said that the three of them are sisters! I know it, Cao Meizhi Previously, she planned to tell Haitang about Jin Linger's sister, Xiu'er, who wanted to get married with the village head's family. However, the master sent three maids back to match the servants. Wouldn't this ruin her plan? She would be happy in her heart Do you think that as a housekeeper, she is the most amazing woman in the village! Once she shouts, you don’t know what kind of thing her mother is, and you can tell her what is black. In the future If you listen to gossip again, just go ahead and see who will believe who! This is settled, go and see the almanac, pick a good day, and let Man Ting bring that girl back."

Jin Ling looked at Guan Shi in astonishment, wondering why Guan Shi wanted to help Qin Lihua so much, and even thought of an excuse to stand up!In this way, wouldn't Qin Lihua want to go back to Xie's house and get along with her as sister-in-law?As soon as she thought of it, she felt evil in her heart!
"Jin Ling'er, what are you still doing? There's no work to do? Both your sister-in-laws are still cutting vegetables in the field, why don't you help?" Guan glanced at Jin Ling and reprimanded angrily.

"Yes... let's go now." Jin Ling shook her head resentfully and left the main room.

Aunt Xie still seems to have doubts, it can be seen that Man Ting is so determined, she really doesn't want to lose her daughter-in-law and lose her son.Although they didn't get along for a long time, she knew that this son was stubborn and had his own opinions. Once he made up his mind, ten cows would not be able to pull him back.She sighed helplessly, looked at Man Ting and said, "Since you like her so much and she hasn't been spoiled by the master, then mother can't say anything more. I'll go and see the calendar and pick a good day, you Bring it back."

"Thank you mother, thank you father, and grandma." Man Ting's mouth curled into a gratified smile, and he knew that this would definitely happen!

After Mrs. Xie read the almanac, the day was set for the day after tomorrow, the day before the Spring Festival.The court didn't sit much, and then left Xie's house.After he left, Aunt Xie asked Guan Shi worriedly: "Mother, do you think this matter is safe? Qin Lihua's identity... Hey, why do I have a headache when I think that she is going to enter our Xie's house? Mother, do you really intend to let her enter the Xie family's ancestral grave?"

Mrs. Guan smiled slightly and said: "There is nothing insecure. As long as Man Ting likes it, let him go, I believe him. Even if the girl bought into the mansion for Master Wang as a sister, she didn't give it to her after all. Mr. Wang has ruined his body and maintained his innocence, so he is worthy of our Xie family. It is not easy! Since Man Ting and her get along well, and they like each other, I think it is a good thing! Don't worry about it. This one is worrying about that again!" "I made a deal with Aunt Ding and Third Aunt Gao not to let them in. I changed my mind first, so how can I say it?"

"Let me ask you, do you want your son not to come home for the rest of your life? Or do you want your son and daughter-in-law to stay by your side? As for the matter of you selling the whole house to the farm behind my back, I can let Xie Wuxiu about you!"

"Mother, you...why are you bringing this up again?" Aunt Xie was terrified when she saw Guan's face darken.

"Hey, don't worry, I'm just talking. Now that Man Ting is back, you should treat him well," Guan restrained his anger, smiled easily, "I think I can hug him again in two years." Grandson, are you unhappy? What's more, who spread the rumors about those three girls? Isn't it you, Third Aunt Gao, and Aunt Ding? Your gossiping mouth is as good as those two , how to break up the pear blossom, you can figure it out, mother is at ease for you!"

"Oh, mother, you...are you criticizing me or praising me?" Aunt Xie was very embarrassed.

"If it's done well, it's considered a compliment! If it's done poorly, you'll have to recognize the daughter-in-law there anyway!" After speaking, Guan went back to her room with a smile and poured herbs.

That night, Manting asked Ma Liu for leave, and wanted to take Lihua back to Xie's house for two months.Lihua was both happy and nervous, she couldn't fall asleep in bed, and almost asked all the eighteen generations of ancestors in the family to find out.But Manting has been away from home for too long, and he knows very little about the affairs at home.Lihua was a little disappointed, rolled into Manting's arms and asked, "Then why did you come back from the military camp before?"

Man Ting rubbed his forehead for a while and said, "I remember that the general sent some soldiers back home, and I was one of them."

"Do you remember? Is there anything else you don't remember?"

"Some things..." Man Ting looked at the top of the mosquito net and said with confused eyes, "I really don't remember very clearly. I just remember that I came out of the barracks, and then I searched for the way home, and finally passed out at Haizi Bridge. .Later, Jinling found me and called the people in the village to save me."

"Oh..." Lihua nodded Manting's nose and smiled, "Did that Jinling save you? That's why she knocked me down the ditch, and you don't care about her."

"Are you still angry about this? I warned her, there will be no next time, don't worry!" Man Ting patted Li Hua's back like coaxing a child.

"She really likes you, doesn't she?" Lihua said, lying on her chest, "Hmph, I don't like such a sister-in-law!"

"I didn't tell you to like her, just get along with her for two months a year."

"Oh! I really hope to go back to the village soon. Okay, I'm going to bed, I'm so sleepy!" Li Hua turned over, yawned, stretched her waist in Man Ting's arms, and hugged her sideways. He fell asleep with one arm of Manting.She belonged to the kind who fell asleep quickly, and fell into a dream within a short while.

Manting felt that this posture was a bit awkward, so he turned her over to face him.Turning her head to look at the sleeping face in her arms, the dim oil lamp reflected on her face, making her look extraordinarily quiet and beautiful.Man Ting restrained the deer in his heart, turned his head and blew out the lamp by the bed, but he didn't feel too sleepy.There are some broken pictures floating in my mind, and I can't connect them all the time.In the past, whenever this time happened, he would have a headache and be troubled by those vague memories.But now that there is Lihua sleeping like a kitten in his arms, his heart is much more stable.In any case, he still has pear blossoms, which is his greatest satisfaction.As for those fragmented memories, let them be!

After waking up in the morning, Lihua curiously asked Duan Qigu and the others about the Xie family.The experience of working in a foreign company in her previous life told her that it is very important to get first-hand information!When they were chatting vigorously in the kitchen, Aunt Duan accidentally raised her head and saw something, snorted and laughed out of her nostrils, said with pursed lips, "You cheeky bastard, don't give up! What is it!"

"What's wrong?" Gong asked with a smile.

"Here!" Duan Qigu pointed to the courtyard door and said, "See? Xiao Da has the cheek to rush Xining to get married!"

"Get married?" Lihua looked out curiously, and it turned out that it was Mrs. Xiao who was pushing Xining out.Xining was holding something in his hands, with a face full of reluctance, as if he had been escorted out.

"Bah!" Duan Qigu spat on the ground and said, "I've never seen such a thick-skinned person! Why didn't she simply ask Xining to strip off Yisheng's body? Look at how flattering Yisheng she was yesterday, I just knelt down and kowtowed to beg Yi Sheng to marry Xining on the spot! If I were old man Tian, ​​how could I marry such a person?"

"What happened yesterday?" Pear Blossom asked.

"Yesterday you were away, and Hongling and I hid in the house to embroider shoe uppers, so I didn't see the faces of Mrs. Xiao and Dongxiang. I really praised Yisheng to the sky! It's a pity," Gong said with a sigh, "But Xining didn't live up to it, and asked her to bring a cup of tea to Yi Sheng, but Yi Sheng was thrown all over him, and Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she didn't slap Xining on the spot! Everyone said raising a daughter is cheap, and it really is! I didn't even ask first. Asked if my daughter was burning, and left with Yi Sheng, as if Yi Sheng was her sister-in-law Xiao's own son!"
