peasant ugly daughter-in-law

Chapter 5
Taking advantage of this gap, Li Rui has already stepped up, and Xiao Wu has also stepped forward to open the poor wooden door.

"You...how is it you? Where's Ye Qingqing? Shrunk?"

The middle-aged woman was about to curse when she heard the movement inside, but she didn't expect Li Rui to be the one who opened the door, so she squinted her eyes and looked inside.

She pouted her nose and sniffed vigorously, and a faint smell of meat wafted over. She thought that the meat had just been put into the pot, and the middle-aged woman's face became more resentful and embarrassing, as if the meat had been scraped from her body.

There was a thatched shed in the yard, full of tall piles of firewood, which just blocked Ye Qingqing who had just stepped out.

Ye Qingqing suddenly came back to her senses, just in time to see the appearance of a middle-aged woman, she searched around in her inherited memory, and found out that this middle-aged woman was Ah Qi's mother, Geng Shi.

Geng Shi is well-known in the village for being bitter, and she loves to take advantage of petty advantages. Even if she wants to get along with Zhu Mao, she can shake off her cheeks and yell at you. Few people like to provoke her. She cares.

Ye Qingqing, who was standing behind the thatched shed, could see the situation at the door clearly from this angle. Her eyes fell on Li Rui's thin body, and she frowned slightly. She was a little worried that he would deal with this shrew, and was about to step forward. Unexpectedly, Li Rui spoke before Geng Shi.

"Aunt Geng?" Li Rui looked surprised, "Are you here to see a doctor too?" With his delicate features, he looked serious, without any hint of teasing.

His black and white eyes glanced at the dark circles under Geng's eye sockets and the small red bumps on his neck without any trace, and an extremely small, extremely small arc at the corner of his lips raised and disappeared, as if it had never happened.

"Scholar Li, don't talk nonsense, I'm in good health!" Geng Shi was anxious when he heard that he was accused of being ill.

A miser and miser like her is not only afraid of death, but also afraid of spending money to see a doctor and buy medicine.

The purpose of her coming here is nothing more than the piece of wild pork that Ah Qi gave Ye Qingqing. If she hadn't paid attention to it today, she would not have known that Ah Qi gave the wild meat to others cheaply.

Li Rui's face was serious, and he asked unexpectedly: "Didn't Uncle Wang tell you? I met Uncle Wang a few days ago, and I asked Uncle Wang to tell you not to work too hard. It's your own body that's exhausted. It’s good to think about things.”

He shook his head helplessly, "Aunt Geng also knows that I have been in poor health. As the saying goes, after a long illness becomes a doctor, that's why I pay more attention than others." I bought some formal clothes worn by Mr. Zhou Yuanwai before he fell ill.

Ye Qingqing, who was behind her, listened to every word of the conversation between the two. She raised her eyebrows and suddenly wanted to laugh, because she didn't think Li Ran was a good person, let alone someone who could be bullied, so she stepped forward. He took back the steps he had taken, and stayed where he was to watch the good show in front of the door.

When Geng Shi heard Li Rui's words, he became quiet instead, and his small, slender eyes rolled around.

She planned in her heart that although the Li family was run-down, some old acquaintances of Li Rui's father when he was an official still had contacts with Li Rui, such as Zhou Yuanwai, who was a big man with a reputation, so she kept an eye out. The attitude eased down and was no longer so tough.

Geng replied casually, "Why do these symptoms sound so familiar?"

Li Rui put his hand in front of his mouth, coughed a few times, stared at Geng's face, hesitated to speak, sighed again and again, and said regretfully: "Isn't it just Aunt Geng's symptoms? Nervous and overthinking , itchy red spots all over the body."

Geng Shi was stared at by Li Rui, and his heart was pounding. After Li Rui finished speaking, he was so frightened that he lost two and a half souls.

She asked cautiously what the disease was and how to cure it, and she had long forgotten about asking for wild boar.

Li Rui behaved mysteriously, and after dismissing Xiao Wu, he told Geng the truth in a low voice, so that Ye Qingqing couldn't hear what they were talking about.

When he spoke, he had a serious face, frowned slightly, and occasionally sighed two or three times.

In a short while, Ye Qingqing saw Geng's face at the door, white and then red, red and black, black and purple, as wonderful as a palette.

Li Rui didn't know what to say, and a flattering smile appeared on Geng's expressive cheeks.

"Scholar Li, is the wild pork that Ah Qi gave enough? Auntie will bring you some more tomorrow." The next few words were lowered again, and Li Rui nodded, and Geng breathed a sigh of relief .

Ye Qingqing was taken aback by this, if it wasn't for Geng Shi's wailing, earth-shattering, she almost forgot that the meat was still stewed in the pot, and she was still puzzled.

"Those who kill a thousand knives can't complain... and my old mother cry every day... dare to play with women behind my mother's back..."

Curious about this, but Ye Qingqing had to look at the pot, and when dinner started, her heart was still scratching like a cat.

At the dinner table, she peeked at Li Rui from time to time, but he remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Is the meat delicious? Eat more." Ye Qingqing, who couldn't help but fawn on Li Rui, picked up a delicious piece of lean meat.

Li Rui saw through Ye Qingqing's curiosity, but he chose not to mention it.

He smiled softly, "My lady treats me better." He returned a piece of meat for Ye Qingqing and put it in the bowl, then continued to chew slowly.

Seeing that he didn't intend to explain the details at all, Ye Qingqing was very discouraged and angrily bit the piece of meat that had just entered the bowl.

Xiao Wu on the side couldn't help it anymore, "Can't you be a little bit hungry?" Looking at that face, he lost his appetite, and he didn't know what the young master liked in her, "Where does she look like a woman..." whispered.

"Little Five!" Li Rui frowned slightly, expressing his displeasure with a low sound.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Wu, "Is that how you have no memory?"

"Young Madam, I'm sorry, I was the one who broke my mouth, and I was wrong." Xiao Wu felt wronged and apologized to Ye Qingqing.Can he not be wronged?Wasn't the reason why he had the courage to say this because of Li Rui's indifferent attitude towards Ye Qingqing in the afternoon?
After such a fuss, Ye Qingqing never had a chance to ask out the curiosity in his heart, and the delay was three days later.

Life has gradually entered the right track, but the storage at home is only saturated, and there is no extra material to exchange for money, Ye Qingqing actually has a plan in mind.

A few days earlier, Ye Qingqing kept the crickets he dug under the woodpile in the grass shed, the soil was moist, soft, and had rotting leaves, it was the most suitable place.

After getting up in the morning, she turned over the woodpile and saw the excrement of many crickets. She turned over the soil with firewood branches and saw crickets desperately digging into the soil. They finally settled down.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu's exclamation came from behind, "Ah, it's disgusting! You..." The address changed abruptly, "Young Madam, what are you doing with these disgusting bugs!"
