"Mom, do you think it's strange?"

While talking, Mrs. Li carefully looked at Ye Yuran's expression.

Naturally, she didn't mention this matter for no reason. This was a task given to her by Zhu Si, asking her to find out what her mother meant.

To be honest, she was a little surprised when she heard Zhu Si asked her to "test" her mother.

"Why am I asking my mother this? Wait...there are no such rumors outside, right? What does this mean? There are several unmarried girls in our family."

Mrs. Li was so alert. She immediately thought of Lin Sanmei, Lin Simei and Zhu Bamei.

Of course, her first guess was Lin Sanmei, because she was already twelve or thirteen years old and would be ready to meet next year or the year after.

The other two, who are younger, must be placed at the back, in order.

Regarding Zhu Bamei's matter, Zhu Si would naturally not hide it from Li. He also asked Li to help keep an eye on it to prevent any big trouble.

After all, he is a man, and both he and Zhu Wu have to work outside, so they may not have time to watch every day.

As for why he didn't leave this matter to Lin, he discussed it with Zhu Wu. One was that Li wouldn't be surprised if he told Ye Yuran about it; the other was that Li was better than Lin.

Clever and able to grasp key points.

They didn't want this incident to ruin Zhu Bamei's reputation and affect her for the rest of her life.

When Mrs. Li heard what was going on, her expression was simply: "Isn't it right?!"

"Shh..." Zhu Si asked her to whisper, "Right now, only you, me, fifth brother, and the three of us know about this matter. Don't let it slip."

Mrs. Li knew the seriousness of this matter and nodded: "I understand. Don't worry, I will pay attention to it."

She had a guaranteed vote in front of her own man, but when she actually came in front of Ye Yuran, Li felt a little nervous.

She didn't think that her little thoughts could be hidden from her mother-in-law.

Sure enough, Ye Yuran raised his head and stared at her.

"Mom, why do you look at me like this?" Ms. Li was extremely flustered.

"Tell me, what did you hear again."

"Just, that's it..."

Seeing her guilty look, Ye Yuran found it funny: "Okay, let's just talk about it. You've already mentioned it, why are you still hesitating?"

"I'm not afraid that my mother will be in a bad mood and will be angry after hearing this..." Ms. Li gave a smile.

However, seeing that my mother-in-law didn't seem angry, I felt relieved and moved a stool to sit next to her.

"What's there to be angry about? This is not the first time someone has taken advantage of our girl. No matter what the outside world says."

Ye Yuran knew this matter well.

There are many girls in my family, and we have only seen each other for a few years, so it is normal for someone to stare at me.

It's puberty, what boy or girl doesn't have sex?

As long as she doesn't go out of her way, it's fine if she turns a blind eye.

"Actually, there are no rumors outside. This scholar did it secretly. I guess only our family members have noticed it a little bit." Li said, "Of course, it's possible that we are overthinking it. We are not sure what the situation is...

…”

Having laid the groundwork before, Li finally spoke slowly.

I didn't say that Zhu Si and Zhu Wu caught a "right" thing, I just said that I caught a glimpse of it accidentally.

A man, or a scholar, hangs around their house for no reason and doesn't buy anything. If he's not here for their girl, what else could he be for?

"Well, I understand. You did the right thing in this matter. If you notice something is wrong, you should pay more attention." First of all, Ye Yuran expressed his affirmation of what Li did.

She also praised her a bit, saying that she was doing a good job as a "sister-in-law" and that a sister-in-law should take care of the girls in the family.

There are some things where it is difficult for a girl to come forward, and if a sister-in-law helps to stop the situation, the girl can be more dignified.

However, Li's words also made Ye Yuran realize that although she felt that the girls from the Zhu family had been watching closely enough, there were still times when they were "alone".

As a result, in just a short time, people were "staring" at him.

It can be seen that there are many people who take advantage of loopholes.

"Have you asked about this scholar?" Mr. Li came into contact with individual customers. Ye Yuran was not very clear about what kind of guests came to his home.

She doesn't object to teenage yearning. Everyone comes from this age, so it doesn't matter.

However, as the elder in the family, the first thing to do is to help the children filter out the "bad guys".

"I'm from a foreign country, so I don't know very well."

"That's it... Don't tell everyone about this kind of thing first. If you have nothing to do, stay with the girl at home. I'll ask someone to find out."

"Mom, this is from a foreign country. We locals don't know his situation. How are you going to find out?" Ms. Li was a little curious.

Before, she also thought about exploring Jiang Yuansi's background, but it was a pity that not long after he came to the foot of Taidang Mountain, he rented a separate courtyard.

The maids and mothers-in-law are busy at home, and it is inconvenient for others to come to the house.

No matter how nice the mother-in-law is, she can't get a few truths out of people's mouths. She wants to remind her mother-in-law, so she just asks the neighbors, but she can't find out anything at all.

"Even if someone comes from a foreign country, there will always be clues left behind. I don't believe it. I can't find out anything."

In the evening, Li "reported" the matter to Zhu Si.

"I told my mother, but she wasn't angry at all. She just said she wanted to touch that boy's bottom." Mrs. Li touched Zhu Si's arm and said, "Hey, tell me, if mother knew about it afterwards, that boy would hit her."

It was Bamei's idea. Do you think she will be so angry that she will explode and then come to me to settle old scores? Let me tell you, I can't take the blame for you. As a daughter-in-law, I don't have a son like you.

I will kiss my mother-in-law."

"Don't worry, my mother is really going to be angry about this. My fifth brother and I will handle it ourselves. Did my mother say how she plans to find out?" Zhu Si said, "In the past few days, my fifth brother and I have found a lot of people, but there really is no one.

A few people know the details of that kid, it’s quite mysterious.”

Li shook her head: "Mom didn't say anything. Since you all asked about it, what did you find out?"

"They say that boy doesn't go out much. The maid in his courtyard and the mother-in-law also bought him new, so they don't know his background..." Zhu Si showed a trace of doubt, "I heard from people who live nearby that there is

It seems that the aroma of meat is not much smelled in the yard, but instead the maid and mother-in-law are heard complaining that they are not eating well."

"No matter how bad the food is, the maids and mothers-in-law of this big family are still better than us in the countryside. Why are you so worried about helping?"

"The strange thing is here, that maid and mother-in-law actually said that she didn't have enough to eat."

Mrs. Li looked surprised: "How is it possible? If you say you can't eat meat every day, I still believe it. You can't eat enough. Isn't this impossible?"

Zhu Si shook his head: "I don't know, so the fifth brother thinks there is something ghostly going on here. He has arranged for people to keep an eye on him nearby. Even if he can't figure out this kid's background, it's good to be able to find some clues."

"My mother said so too. You are indeed my mother's biological child."

Zhu Si was speechless: "What do you mean by this?"

"Hehe! I don't mean anything else, I'm just complimenting you. Isn't your mother smart? I didn't expect you to be as smart as your mother."

Zhu Si glared at her: "Qingqing, in your mind, I used to be a fool?"

Of course, Mrs. Li couldn't admit it, so she quickly denied it and even made a few smiles to coax her man into peace.

However, this night's "torture" made her deeply understand a truth - men's anger cannot be aroused, and it is easy to get angry and burn themselves!
