Chapter 191 The visitor is ill-intentioned

 “Grandma!“

 “Mother!”

Seeing that the old lady was in trouble, everyone rushed over and helped the old lady sit firmly.

Jiaxi and Jiaan both forgot to put their sister down. Jiayin pulled their hair to keep their balance, and they grinned in pain.

It was hard to hear the good news, and my feet touched the ground. I quickly stepped forward and hugged my grandma's thigh, shouting over and over again, "Grandma doesn't cry, grandma doesn't cry."

I don’t know when the old lady burst into tears. She hugged her granddaughter subconsciously, wiped her face, and looked at the door.

At this moment, Li Laoer had already led the woman in. The woman was half-bent and looking at the yard with chattering eyes, which made people look a little unhappy.

But the Li family couldn't care less. Li Laosi asked, "Why are you looking for Li Zhensheng? He is our eldest brother. He has been away from home for many years. When did you see him? What do you want to do with him?"

Li Laoer turned around and wanted to see Liu Biaotou and others off, but Liu Biaotou saw the Li family acting like this and already knew it was a private matter, so he waved his hand and left.

The woman probably relaxed a little when she saw that she and the Li family were alone, so she stood under the oil lamp and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't you recognize me? I am a Miao from the village next to you. The eldest daughter-in-law of the family!”

 Miao’s eldest daughter-in-law?

Everyone was a little confused after hearing this, but Mrs. Li thought about it and said, "Oh, it's you. I remember that you went out to work many years ago and never returned to your hometown."

Mr. Miao and his wife knew each other well, so he followed the conversation and sat down next to the old lady.

"Yes, sister-in-law, I didn't expect us to meet here. I heard something happened over there in my hometown, and the barbarians robbed them badly. I wonder if everyone has escaped? What about everyone in our village? Sample?"

Mrs. Li was anxious and wanted to know the news about her eldest son, but she responded patiently, "At first, we all fled south in a hurry, and we couldn't care about others. But I didn't hear that anyone was killed by the barbarians. He probably came out early and was not caught up by the barbarians. "

“That’s good,” Mr. Miao’s daughter-in-law clapped her hands happily, her eyes couldn’t help but glance at the Li family’s yard and house, her expression full of envy.

“Sister-in-law, your family is very prosperous, and this courtyard is really grand. I heard that the hot springs in the valley belong to your family? How lucky you are. It is simply a cornucopia. I can count on my sister-in-law to take care of it in the future.”

While she was talking, she saw Jiayin was white, plump and cute, and she wanted to reach out and pinch Jiayin's face, but Jiayin dodged him.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru came out of the kitchen. Seeing this, Tao Hongying quickly picked up her daughter and said with a smile, "This child knows how to live."

Old Mrs. Li couldn't help but asked, "Old sister, why did you want to find my boss just after you entered the house?"

Mr. Miao’s daughter-in-law waved her hands and was about to speak when she suddenly held her stomach and looked a little embarrassed and pained.

“Well, sister-in-law, I walked more than ten miles to get here. I haven’t eaten yet and my stomach hurts from hunger.”

Old Mrs. Li took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in her heart, and told her daughter-in-law, "If you have anything ready-made, bring some first."

Miao's eldest daughter-in-law immediately laughed and shouted, "It's best to have a bowl of noodles with more meat and two poached eggs. I heard that your fourth daughter-in-law is the best at cooking, so I want to try it today." "

No one responded, even the most stupid people could understand now.

 It is not certain whether this Miao boss's wife knows anything, but she is definitely here to take advantage.

As expected, she refused to reveal a word about Boss Li. She kept gossiping and her eyes were glued to the kitchen.

Old Mrs. Li was holding back her anger. She wanted to drive people away, but at the same time she was looking forward to the news that she really had an eldest son. The eldest son, who was admitted as a scholar, went out to study and never came home again.

 Some people said that he was in danger and died outside.

Some people also say that he met the daughter of a wealthy family and became his son-in-law. He disliked the poverty of the family and would never come back.

 It is said that it has a nose and eyes, but it is false, and gradually everyone takes it seriously.

The Li family was once ridiculed by people from all over the country, otherwise Li Laoer would not have married a daughter-in-law like Wu Cuihua at that time.

Later, after several years, this matter gradually stopped being mentioned, but it was also difficult for Li Laosan and Li Laosi to discuss marriage.

Li Laosan was still diligent, smart and kind. He was favored by the carpenter and was betrothed to the daughter of the family.

 And Li Laosi was just lucky enough to meet the daughter of an old scholar.

It can be said that the Li family was deceived by Boss Li. How much they loved their eldest son before, but how much they hated him later!

This is why no one in the Li family dares to mention it, and children like Jia An and Jia Xi don’t even know their uncle’s name.

Jiayin is smart, and he has guessed a lot in the past two years, but he didn’t expect that this uncle would suddenly have news when they had just settled down and their life was improving.

Mr. Miao’s daughter-in-law was really rude. She ate two bowls of noodles and four poached eggs in one go before putting down the bowl and chopsticks while rubbing her belly.

Perhaps she saw that the Li family looked bad, so she smiled a little guiltily, but she didn't know what she thought of, and her back straightened again.

“My fourth daughter-in-law is really good at cooking, but this noodle tastes better when cooked in bone broth.”

Mrs. Li was impatient to listen to her tricks anymore and asked straight to the point, "Can you tell me now where you met our boss?"

Miao's wife took a needle from the sewing basket, picked her teeth and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, what are you in a hurry for?"

"We only met a few times back then, and we didn't have any friendship at all." Mrs. Li pointed to the door, really annoyed, "If you don't tell me, get out!"

Miao's wife was a little scared. She quickly put down her crossed legs and said with a smile, "Why are you so angry, sister-in-law? Can't we discuss it slowly? You see, I made a special trip and walked so far. Is it time to take a break? Isn’t it time to waste your time?”

Li Laoer sneered, "Do you mean this for benefits?"

Mr. Miao's wife nodded, "Of course. After all, I work very hard. I travel a lot for your family."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiaxi suddenly shouted, "Oh, I remembered, she is the same group of people who scolded the leftovers today!"

Mr. Miao's daughter-in-law's expression changed and she stepped back uncomfortably, but did not wait for her to defend herself.

Jiaxi has already talked to grandma, "Today, a guest said that the tea given by Gou Sheng was too hot and scolded Gou Sheng. I saw it from the side. This person is the slave brought by the guest. He asked for Ding at noon. Waiting for the set meal!”

Li Laoer patted his nephew on the back and asked, "Can I ask the guest's name and where he lives?"

"Yes," Jia Xi puffed up his chest proudly, "A guest living in the small courtyard talked to that person and seemed to be familiar with him. Although the abusive guest has left, you can find out if you ask around."

"That's it, that will be much more convenient." Li Laoer looked at Mr. Miao's wife and said with a smile, "So you haven't returned to your hometown for so many years and you have become a slave in a wealthy family!"

Mr. Miao’s daughter-in-law seemed to have been stripped of her coat and stood naked in front of others, embarrassed and ashamed!
