Chapter 197: It is difficult to raise a woman and a villain
Wu Tong was furious: "Shrew, it's really hard to raise a woman and a villain!"
He was not only angry at the Li couple, but he was even more angry because none of the women in the family came out to help. After all, as a scholar, how could he win over such a shrew by scolding her?
Liu was originally talking to Xue Qing in the west wing, but she couldn't stand it anymore. Xue Qing didn't mean to come out to help, but he said a few words to Liu and went to practice calligraphy.
After hearing this, Liu left the west wing and saw Li sitting on the floor. She did not argue with her, but said kindly, "Sister, if you have anything to say, come in and talk. Aren't you embarrassing your daughter even more?"
After hearing this, Li thought about it and it made sense. She glared at Wu Tong, stood up, brushed the dirt off her body, and followed Liu into the house.
When Old Man Li saw her go in, he followed her in happily.
Wu Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After Liu left, Xue Qing put down the pen in his hand, and his handwriting looked better than before.
At this moment, the words on the paper actually started to move, making all kinds of funny faces and movements at her. Xue Qing also started to make faces unconsciously.
When Jiang Yi came in, he saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh out loud. This is what a girl should look like.
When Xue Qing heard Jiang Yi's laughter, he stopped immediately, coughed twice, and sat up straight.
The original owner has never been able to come back, and she has not found a way to go back. She can't understand why, since the original owner has woken up, she can't go back to her original body.
These days, all the housework is done by the two brothers of the Wu family.
Xue Qing basically no longer cared about family affairs. Every day he only thought about how to get the original owner back and go back to where he came from.
She only remembered the beautiful things in the original world, but didn't remember how she got here.
The original owner liked the various meat dishes made by Xue Qing, so Xue Qing tried his best to go to the kitchen to help cook, and then put some into the space for her to eat.
If she didn't cook, she would always carry a plate of food to the west wing in the middle of the night because she was hungry.
Seeing Xue Qing's growing stature, Liu thought that she was just going to grow taller.
Inside the house, Li and his wife sat on chairs. Liu asked Ding to bring tea to them and their wife: "Sister, Xiao Cui is a good girl, but Erlang's marriage was originally decided a long time ago. His father just came back and doesn't know the inside story."
Mr. and Mrs. Li didn't want to make too much of a fuss. What if she could become a concubine in the future?
So at this moment, Li had completely lost her previous aggressive look: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I'm unreasonable, you said, you can't bully people like this, our Xiao Cui is also a girl praised by everyone in the surrounding villages, our Li family may not be a family of scholars, but it is also a clean family."
Seeing that Liu didn't say anything, he continued, "We are both well-educated and well-mannered people. This is a great marriage, don't you think?"
Old Li admired this old woman and everything she said made sense.
Liu nodded slightly and said, "Xiao Cui is a good girl, so we can't let her reputation be damaged. Don't you think this is the truth?"
Of course, Li knew this. Wasn't she making trouble just to get her daughter married into the Wu family? Now that the Wu family had broken off the engagement, her reputation had been affected. What should she do?
"Sister-in-law, but now that you have broken off the engagement, it has already damaged Xiao Cui's reputation, right?"
Liu thought to herself, if you hadn't told others about the undecided matter, how could your reputation be damaged by making trouble for the child now?
Liu said again: "After all, it was our Wu family who was wrong this time. Outsiders will only say that our Wu family is unlucky, so it will not affect the child's reputation."
When Li heard what Liu said, she felt it made sense. It was indeed the Wu family that was in the wrong first, but they couldn't just let the Wu family get away with it.
"Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense, but it has also affected our Xiao Cui's reputation. How should this be dealt with?"
Liu immediately understood what she meant and asked her, "Sister, how do you think we should solve this problem?"
When Li heard what Liu said, she simply said, "Sister-in-law, we are also a clean family. Just give us five taels of silver and we'll let it go."
After hearing this, Old Lady Li was shocked. She didn't expect that the old woman had such a big appetite. Five taels of silver!
Liu was also surprised after hearing this. This Li was really asking for too much.
Then he showed an embarrassment and said, "Hey, sister, I'm sure you've heard that some time ago, Uncle Wenming borrowed money from the casino and we were unable to repay it. In the end, we had to use a recipe to pay off the debt. Now our family is living in a tight spot."
As he spoke, his eyes turned red and he choked with sobs and became unable to speak.
After a pause, he continued, "It's really too much for us to take out five taels of silver at once."
Of course Li had heard about these things in her family, so she thought that the Wu family must be very rich, so she asked for five taels of silver.
Seeing that Li's expression was somewhat relaxed, Liu continued, "Sister, can you give me a few days? Let our family think of a solution. When we have enough money, we will send it to your house."
Mrs. Li and Old Man Li looked at each other. In fact, it was Mrs. Li who had the final say. She thought for a moment and said very happily, "Sister-in-law, I believe you. I will wait for you at home in five days."
What this means is that you will have to send money in five days!
Xue Qing saw from the window that Liu and Ding sent Li and his wife out.
Liu couldn't help but go straight to the west wing to discuss with Xue Qing.
Everything she said to Li was taught by Xue Qing, and she didn't understand how Xue Qing knew that Li would definitely ask for the money in the end.
Why did she have to wait five days to give it to her? Actually, Dalang and Erlang had given her money when they came back. Now she had the money in her hand.
"Qing'er, it's the same as what you said, but they only asked for five taels of silver."
Xue Qing thought they would ask for ten taels, it seems he overestimated them.
At dinner, Xue Qing said she was not feeling well and asked Jiang Yi to take her to the west wing. Jiang Yi said he would take care of Xue Qing and eat in the kitchen.
When Liu heard about it, she immediately went to see Xue Qing: "Qing'er, what's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Xue Qing saw Liu coming over and knew that she cared about him: "Mom, I just want to eat happily."
Liu knew it very well in her heart: "Qing'er, I'm sorry for making you suffer. It's all my fault. I..."
Xue Qing interrupted her, stood up and said: "Mom, you really didn't do what I hoped, but I understand and I won't blame you"
She did disappoint me, but she was an ancient person. If I only had the memories of this place like she did, I might not have her broad mind.
Wu Tong was very happy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help curling up, and he became more talkative: "It's been a long time since our family had a meal together. From now on! It will be a good day!"
