Chapter 14 Li's Thoughts

Grandma Qi saw that her daughter could understand, and nodded slightly, knowing that she would plan for herself, and she didn't have to worry so much about her daughter.

Now that I am old and raising my grandson at home, I can no longer help my daughter. I can only hope that she can live a better life on her own.

"You're right to think so. If you could have been kinder to yourself before, you wouldn't be living so hard now."

"Well, I won't do it anymore." Mrs. Li put the small purse in Grandma Qi's hand.

Grandma Qi opened the small purse, her hands trembled when she saw the money inside, and she said in surprise: "This... so much."

"Yes, I brought them home a month ago. These were the gifts given to me by the eldest lady these two times. I also gave some gifts to the children."

"Well, that's it. I'll save it for you. Remember, don't tell your husband or anyone about this matter. Since you have to do it, don't think about it so much."

"Don't worry, mother. I have a very tight schedule to get home. I have to go back after noon. I can't stay here for too long. Mother, please take care."

"Okay, you can come back home and have a look. Mom knows that you are doing well, so you don't have to worry so much. Come back!"

Li said a few more words to his mother asking him to take care of himself at home, and asked about the living conditions of his younger brother and eldest brother before he and his mother came out of the room.

The dolls were eating snacks. Each of them ate a piece of snack slowly. The look of cherishing them made people sigh that they are sensible children.

"Auntie, I want to come here more often..."

Grandma Qi and the children sent Mrs. Li out of the door and onto the carriage, and she and the children stood watching, waving...

"Ms. Qi, the person you sent away just now was..."

The grandmother next door looked dimly into the distance. There was a carriage coming into the village. An ordinary carriage would make people curious. Their village only had ox carts, and those who had ox carts to carry people and do business were from well-off families.

"Third grandma, that's the carriage that takes my aunt home. My second aunt goes to work for a wealthy family in the county town and is back today to visit relatives." One of the dolls rushed to say.

"Oh, that's amazing! No wonder I look familiar, wearing such rich clothes, I am so impressed after three days apart."

"Ha ha"

"Third sister-in-law, I can't tell you are so polite in your speech. Although we farmers are poor, we are free. It's not that easy to work in a rich family!"

Grandma Qi felt sorry for her daughter and her grandson. She sighed in her heart, why did she fall in love with that family back then? She thought that someone with skills would definitely help her daughter live a better life, but unfortunately... she was wrong about the person.

Mrs. Li gave the money she had to her mother to keep. With this little money, she felt a little more at ease. She watched the carriage getting closer and closer to her house. She looked out through the window of the carriage. This village where she had lived for several years,

What is familiar is no longer familiar.

The population is not large, and every household can build a large yard as a house. As long as you are willing to open up wasteland and have enough ability, you will never be hungry.

The village has a small population but a lot of land. Most of the good fields and land were bought by the rich. Only the better families have one or two acres of land, like theirs, who have two acres of land. The rest is reclaimed dry land.

.

The poorer ones can only go to the rich man's house to rent land for farming and open up some dry land for planting.

When they arrived at the door of their house, their yard door was closed tightly, and Lai's cursing voice came from inside: "Hongji, you are a father, why do you always go to the house and don't concentrate on making furniture? You have to be like your father."

, I have to work harder to make more furniture.”

"That's right, brother, hurry up and finish the furniture with dad. He also said that he would make a dowry for me."

"Mom, there are two small children in the room. I have to check on them every once in a while to feel at ease. If you and sister don't take care of the children at home, how can I concentrate on making furniture?"

Ever since Mr. Li went out to work, Acer had become both a father and a mother. He had become accustomed to a sense of responsibility and was determined to take care of the baby no matter what her mother, sister or father said.

Mrs. Li was most worried about not being able to take good care of her children at home. After listening to her husband's words, tears welled up in her eyes. It was a difficult life in this family, but luckily she had a husband here.

She pushed open the yard door, but did not close it immediately, but asked the coachman to drive the carriage in.

"Mom, dad, husband."

Hong Ji, who was working in the thatched house in the yard, and his father heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and looked at the door of the yard, and saw the second girl and the third girl running out from the window of the house.

Mr. Lai even ran over in the yard, and said in a crackling voice as he walked over:

"Ms. Li, it's just a good time for you to come back. I have clothes at home and lunch to make soon. You're not at home these days, and I've been very busy. Did I collect my monthly payment? I have to hand it over."

"Ms. Li, what's in the bag? Is it some good stuff you brought back from a rich family's house?" The third girl also ran out.

"Ms. Li, I'm short of some things for my dowry. Let me see if there are any good things." The second girl also ran out and came with his mother and younger sister to grab Mrs. Li's baggage.

"Mom, I'll give you the monthly money. As for the good things that the second sister and the third sister said, I don't have them. These are the clothes and shoes that the eldest lady gave to my daughter-in-law and asked her to make for the children."

Mrs. Li was not so stupid as to stand there and throw two or two months' money to Ms. Lai. The second and third girls ran to grab it, and she also ran.

Their yard was relatively large, and the two girls, who usually sat at home and did not do much, were not as nimble as Li Shi, so they were unable to catch up with Li Shi for a while.

Ms. Li has been eating well in a wealthy family this month and doesn't usually do much activities. It's quite hard to carry a two-year-old baby. She has a good foundation, which is not comparable to that of two lazy girls.

"Li, don't leave, you are so brave."

"Stop..., believe it or not, I will hit you?"

The third girl and the second girl were chasing after her, sweating on their heads, gasping for air but unable to catch up with Ms. Li, and yelling.

"This is..." The coachman got out of the car and saw this scene. It was not convenient for him to say it to those women. He was speaking to Acer and his father.

"What's the fuss like?" Acer's dad was used to it, and he really didn't think that there were outsiders around, so he stopped the two girls.

"What are you looking at? I've never seen any guests come!"

Mrs. Lai originally wanted to rob her. After receiving the two taels of silver, she put the money in her arms and glanced outside the yard. Someone was looking into their yard, so she hurriedly closed the door of the yard.

Lai has a fierce character, but she also feels that she still has two daughters who are not married. If one of them is engaged, he is afraid of ruining his reputation and the other will break off the engagement.

The other one is not engaged yet, and she still wants to marry her younger daughter to a wealthy family.

The second girl and the third girl were scolded by their father, so they stopped and stamped their feet on the spot.

Hongji looked intently at Mrs. Li, who had been out for a month, and saw that she had become whiter and fatter. He looked at his wife with bright eyes. The man was thinking that his wife would sleep in his arms tonight.

"Haha, I made you laugh. Come and have tea."

Father Acer pretended to smile, stopped what he was doing to wash his hands, and asked the coachman to drink tea at the table next to the thatched shed. The autumn breeze was a bit cool, so it would be good to sit in the yard to enjoy the shade and entertain guests. It would be a good place to sit in the cold weather.
