Chapter 156 Why are you looking at my mother like that?
Shen Yanzhi looked at the four little ones and Li Tannian in surprise.
Although I heard from my sister more than once that Li Tannian had several children, the oldest child was at least nearly ten years old, right? She looked very young, and she really didn't look like someone who could give birth to such a big child.
"Why are you looking at my mother like that?"
Sanya pouted and asked, Shen Yanzhi came back to his senses and looked embarrassed: "I, I..."
He stuttered for a while, and then he hesitated: "Ms. Li is really lucky."
"That's right, my mother's blessing is naturally the best. Who makes father and us love her?" Sanya emphasized again.
It's not that she thought too much, in fact, her mother would lose her mind every time she saw this man before. She had never seen her mother lose her mind when seeing another man.
Mom has never been so focused when looking at daddy!
Li Tannian looked awkwardly at the four little ones who looked wary, and coughed dryly: "Dabao, Erbao, Sanya, Xiaosibao, haven't you met Master yet!"
The four little ones were stunned and looked at Li Tannian one after another. Seeing that they had no reaction, Li Tannian couldn't help but frown: "Why are you still standing there? I've seen Master!"
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly stagnant. For a long time, Dabao glanced at Shen Yan calmly and bowed politely: "Dabao has met Master."
The other three little cubs looked at Dabao, then at Li Tannian's increasingly tight eyebrows, and finally followed Dabao's example and gave Shen Yanzhi a bow.
This was Shen Yanzhi's first time as a wife, and for a moment, he was a little at a loss.
Li Tannian placed the apprenticeship ceremony of the four little ones in front of Shen Yanzhi. Shen Yanzhi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw that there were not only food but also money in the basket on his back.
"Ms. Li, why are you saying this? All the ladies in town are just collecting some grain, so you don't need to give me any money."
With that said, he was about to return the money to Li Tannian.
Li Tannian naturally refused to take it back, so during the stalemate, a hand stretched out from the side, and then Lady Li's obviously extremely happy voice came.
"Ms. Li, you are finally here. My brother has been waiting for you for several days."
"Sister, give the money back to Madam Li?" Shen Yanzhi said in a low voice to Lady Ninth, who acted as if she had not heard anything and hurriedly collected the money, "Brother, if you don't take the children to class, What are you still doing here?"
"Sister!" Shen Yanzhi frowned.
"Ms. Li, what kind of tea do you want to drink? Just tell me and I'll make it for you."
Shen Yanzhi twitched the corner of his mouth, what kind of tea could a poor family like theirs have?
"There's no need to drink tea. I brought some snacks to the old lady. I just wanted to visit her."
Shen Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but was surprised by her attentiveness.
"Hey, Madam Li, you are so polite!" Ninth Lady waved her hand and led Li Tannian to the first room on the east side.
Shen Yanzhi knew that his sister was unwilling to take out the money and return it to Mrs. Li, so he just thought about discussing it with her later, so he took the children to the classroom.
This classroom was originally the main room. Later, Shen Yanzhi set up a few tables and chairs and opened a small window, which made it very bright during the day.
Shen Yanzhi originally wanted to teach numbers from the beginning, but later, he unexpectedly discovered that the four little ones seemed to know a lot of words, so he simply started teaching them based on the thousand-character text.
At this moment, when Li Tannian was brought into the house by Jiu Niangzi, he saw Mother Shen.
Mother Shen looked haggard. When she saw Jiu Niangzi leading people into the house, she was about to sit up, but was stopped by Li Tannian.
Jiu Niangzi introduced Li Tannian to Mother Shen, and Mother Shen's gentle eyes never left Li Tannian. She had heard Jiu Niangzi mention Li Tannian for a long time, but she didn't expect the mother of several children to be so young.
After a brief moment of surprise, she smiled at Li Tannian and said, "Thank you, Ninth Lady, for helping my Jiu'er and A Yan again and again."
"It's okay." Li Tannian handed the snack box to Mother Shen. Mother Shen was surprised and happy. She chatted with Li Tannian for a while and asked Jiu Niangzi to buy meat for cooking.
Jiu Niangzi was used to being careful with her budget. When she heard that she wanted to buy meat to treat people, she was really reluctant to do so. However, when she thought about it, the person being treated was Li Tannian, she was reluctant to do so.
"Okay." In response, Jiu Niangzi was about to go out, but was stopped by Li Tannian: "There are still people at home waiting for us to go back for dinner, so I won't eat at your house."
Jiu Niangzi raised her eyebrows: "Your man? What's wrong, if you don't go back, will he stop eating?"
Li Tannian smiled and said nothing. Jiu Niangzi sincerely left the meal. She paused and then said, "How about you eat at my house and go back and bring some back to him?"
"No, you don't care about the trouble."
After Li Tannian refused, he chatted with Shen's mother for a while and learned that she had been taking medicine all year round because of rheumatism. She also checked her bones.
Fortunately, Mother Shen's bones were not deformed, so Li Tannian decided to prepare some medicine and send it to her.
After sitting for a while, a burst of crying suddenly came from the hall next door.
Li Tannian and Jiu Niangzi looked at each other and hurried to the next door, where they saw four little ones running out crying.
"Mom, Master is bullying us!"
"Master, you have wronged us, woo woo woo."
"We obviously didn't drop his inkstone, but he insists on saying that we did!"
"Mom, let's go!"
Li Tannian's expression froze. It was hard to imagine that such a gentle person as Shen Yanzhi would bully children.
But seeing the four little ones with red eyes crying, she felt a little distressed.
"Is there any misunderstanding?" Jiu Niangzi asked awkwardly, and she was whining in her heart. She just accepted so much money from Mrs. Li, could it be possible that she would quit in the blink of an eye.
"Don't cry, I, I'm going to teach Shen Yanzhi a lesson now!" Jiu Niangzi lamented, picked up the broom in the corner, and wanted to go into the room to teach someone a lesson.
As a result, before she went in, she saw Shen Yanzhi with an inky face walking out holding two halves of the inkstone. He looked so dumbfounded that it was a bit miserable no matter how he looked at it.
"Brother, what's wrong with you!" Jiu Niangzi exclaimed, and the broom in her hand fell to the ground. "This gown is your favorite. You don't want to wear it on weekdays. Why do you splash so much ink on it?" Go up?"
At this time, Li Tannian discovered that there were many ink stains on Shen Yanzhi's shoulders and back. It looked like someone had poured ink from behind his back!
Li Tannian looked suspicious, and heard the four little ones crying heartbrokenly again. The sound was actually a bit more miserable than before.
At this moment, Xiao Hongdou's weak voice sounded: "Yes, they did it."
Li Tannian and Jiu Niangzi looked in the direction of Xiao Hongdou's finger, and came face to face with four pitiful little faces.
