Ever since Xiaowu cried and made a fuss, the room next door was quiet for a while. Later, Li Xiangyu sighed and babbled something. The voice was not loud, and Li Man couldn't hear it very clearly.
About an hour later, she finally heard the lotus calling for dinner, and the noise from the next room became a little more embarrassing.
To be honest, she was already hungry if she didn't eat until this time, but if she just went to the kitchen like this, she would definitely run into Li Xiangyu again, perhaps, another dispute was inevitable.
It's not that she is afraid of things, but that she hates such boring disputes, and she is also afraid that it will be difficult for Li Mo to be caught in the middle. Besides, no matter how difficult Li Xiangyu is, it is impossible for her to live in the Li family, and she can't afford it.
So, she didn't go out with her, thinking that after they finished eating, she would find something to fill her stomach.
In the kitchen, He Hua diligently arranged the food, and invited Li Xiangyu to the main seat, "Gu, try this pork head meat first, it's delicious."
Li Xiangyu smiled and winked at He Hua, "You also give Brother Mo two yuan, last time, he said he likes to eat."
"Hey." He Hua agreed, and hurriedly put a large chopstick into Li Mo's bowl.
Li Mo was not polite either, and after thanking him, he picked up two more vegetarian dishes, filled the bowls to the brim, and got up to go out.
"What are you doing?" Li Xiangyu glared at him, clearly seeing his intentions.
Li Mo didn't turn his head back, and replied vaguely, "I'll be right over." He walked out quickly, knocked on the door of Westinghouse, and called softly, "Man'er."
Li Man thought it was him calling her to eat, and said, "You guys eat first."
"Aren't you hungry?" Li Mo had already opened the door and came in, handing her a full bowl of food, "Eat while it's hot, if it's not enough, I'll come back later."
Li Man stood up, looked at the high pile of food in the bowl with a smile, "You didn't mean to serve me all the food, did you? Are they enough?" She cooked the food, and she knew how much it was.
"You eat first." Seeing her smile, Li Mo followed Hanhan's smile.
Li Man was really hungry, so she didn't hesitate to pick up the bowl and started to eat. Seeing that there were many pieces of thinly sliced pork head meat, she picked up a piece and tasted it first.
"Well, the smell is very fragrant." She didn't know whether it was sincere or joking, she glanced at him intentionally, and said meaningfully, "Miss Lotus is really good at craftsmanship."
The corners of Li Mo's lips were slightly curved, his eyes were burning, and he said, "I still like to eat fish cooked by Man'er."
"..." The deep meaning in these words was too obvious, Li Man lowered her head with a blushing face, and muttered, "Hurry up and eat, there isn't much cooking for lunch."
Li Mo let out an 'ah', and then went out the door.
In the kitchen, Li Xiangyu didn't move the bowls and chopsticks, but stared at the door with a dark face, and waited until Li Mo returned, and immediately roared, "This is really a rare thing, if she doesn't come, you still carry it .Are you a man too?"
"Sister, we can't stop people from eating." Li Xiangcao persuaded in a low voice beside her.
"Who won't let her eat?" Li Xiangyu yelled angrily, "It's because she didn't come by herself, so she still thinks she is some kind of rich lady? You have to bring the meal to a man? Is she a rotten hand or a broken foot? ?”
"Auntie." Li Mo sat down, and the joy brought back from Li Man's room was instantly stimulated by Li Xiangyu's words, "Man'er is my wife, even if she bought it, she is also my wife. She If it's really bad, what good will it do for auntie?"
Li Xiangyu was at a loss for words for a while, and looked at Li Xiangcao and Hehua blankly, "What did I say to me? She even asked you to bring her food, so I can't even say a word? Is she so precious?"
Li Mo didn't speak, and Li Xiangcao hurriedly persuaded, "Sister, please stop saying a few words, the young couple have a good relationship, why do you have to be such a villain in the middle?"
"You say that about me too?" Li Xiangyu's contradiction immediately pointed to his sister, "You all despise me, right? Vanilla, you said you made this situation today, who is to blame? And I can't be blamed? You just listened to me back then. , and you won’t be in the situation you are today, being bullied by a second-bedroom concubine every day, and even going back to your mother’s house, I have to go there in person before you go out.”
Li Xiangcao was very embarrassed, "Sister, what are you talking about when you are eating?" while handing her the chopsticks.
Li Xiangyu didn't answer, but said angrily, "I have to eat too."
"Auntie, Man'er is a good girl. You didn't understand it when you came here. Since she has become my Li family member, I have to be responsible to her. As for things like making rules, don't do them in the future. We don't care what other people do. Our family doesn't need it." Li Mo said very pertinently.
Li Xiangyu's face turned blue and white, "Are you blaming me for meddling?"
"Auntie's kindness, I understand." Li Modao, picked up the bowls and chopsticks himself, and handed them to her, "The food is cold, let's talk later when we have something to say, let's eat first."
Seeing that Li Xiangyu didn't move his chopsticks, everyone could only watch, especially Xiao Wu, the little guy must have been starving, so he had to pick it up, and then put some meat into Xiao Wu's bowl, "Come on, Xiao Wu Eat, let's eat a lot, don't give it to the white-eyed wolf." As he spoke, he gave Li Mo a hard look.
Li Mo smiled helplessly, but he really didn't pick up a chopstick.
Seeing this, Lotus hurriedly picked up another chopsticks of meat to give him, "Brother Mo, there are still more, you should eat more."
"I don't like to eat." Li Mo gave way with the bowl, but he didn't let the meat into the bowl.
The lotus stood up, stretched its arms long
Tang, thinking he was being polite, insisted on putting the meat into his bowl.
Li Mo was embarrassed, so he had to pick it up, but he didn't eat it, so he gave it to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, eat."
"It's really a white-eyed wolf. He Hua specially made it for you." Li Xiangyu said unhappily, while letting Lian Hua sit down, "Don't pinch him, he doesn't know what's good."
Li Mo didn't say a word.
On the contrary, He Hua felt distressed because of Li Mo being scolded, "Gu, stop talking about Big Brother Mo."
Li Xiangyu laughed again, "Look at you, do you feel distressed?"
The black and red face of the lotus flower became even redder, and another layer of oil paint was applied, and she said shyly, "Gu."
"Okay, okay, I won't say it, can't I not say it?" Although the promise was good, but when she turned around, Li Xiangyu said again, "Dalang, do you think the lotus loves people? I just said a few words to you, she Just protect you like this. Also, you eat the dishes she cooks, are they delicious? Besides, the one in the house is simply a prodigal. You also know the small jar of sesame oil that I brought you during the year? We all know that these things are expensive, and in previous years, you can eat them for a year, but I just saw it, and guess what? It’s all bottomed out. I dare say, it must be eaten after she came, right? It’s only been a few days. , then a jar of sesame oil."
"I asked her to use it." Li Mo replied, "The fourth brother was at home a while ago, and he loves this oil."
"If you like to eat, you can't eat it as a meal. It can be seen that she is also a loser." Li Xiangyu twitched her lips.
Li Mo buried his head in his meal and kept silent. He knew that no matter what he said, she could twist it into something else. Fortunately, Man'er was not around, so she couldn't hear such a slander.
Li Xiangyu also said a lot of things in the middle, but seeing that Li Mo didn't agree, she was so angry that she took a few mouthfuls of food and didn't say anything.
The meal was quite boring, but fortunately there was no other trouble.
After the meal, He Hua took the initiative to clean up, and Li Mo waited to accompany Li Xiangyu out, fearing that she would have other things to wait for in the house, so he proposed to visit the newly purchased field.
Li Xiangyu said yes, and urged Hehua to pack up quickly and go together.
The group of people went out soon, Li Man looked out from the window, the yard was quiet for a while, and she breathed a sigh of relief, she came out, got some pig food and chicken food, and fed the little pigs and chickens .
Right after it was done, both Li Yan and Li Shu came back.
Li Man was stunned for a moment, "You guys came back so early?" Even if she did a part-time job for someone else, it seemed that she would not finish her work until dark.
"Are you okay?" Li Shu rushed towards her, looking her up and down worriedly.
Li Man was inexplicable, "I'm fine."
"Xiao Wu told us all about it." Seeing that she was fine, Li Yan smiled slowly, "Auntie made things difficult for you when she came, didn't you cry?"
"Are you crying?" Li Man glared at him angrily, "Is that why you came back?"
Li Shu scratched his head, "Brother called us back? Where is Brother?"
"He's gone to the field, what is he calling you for?" Li Man was puzzled.
Li Yan shrugged his eyebrows and said, "It's not for you."
Li Man was even more puzzled.
Li Yan glanced at Li Shu, "That black woman is here, but she still wants to be our wife, you can figure it out."
"I know." Li Shu soon understood why the eldest brother secretly asked Xiao Wu to find him back.
Li Man looked at the two of them worriedly, "What do you want to do?" Seeing how Li Shu gritted his teeth, did he want to eat people
"Go back to the room, don't peek for a while." Li Shu hurriedly took the keg from her hand and pushed her into the room.
Li Man was really curious about what the two brothers wanted to do.
But seeing a group of people walking towards this way from afar, she still didn't ask any more questions, and it was better to go back to the house and rest than to listen to others scolding her.
As soon as she entered the house, Li Shu searched around, and finally picked up the hoe in the corner of the room, and thought it was very convenient, so he used it.
"Third brother, take it easy, don't really hurt anyone." Li Yan hurriedly whispered in his ear, then put his arms around his waist and shouted, "Third brother, what are you doing? It's just a guest, we don't like it, and there's no need to hurt people."
"Don't hold it so tightly, I can't run fast." Li Shu turned around and said to him, seeing that the person had already entered the yard, he quickly raised his hoe and was about to hit over there, "Second brother, let go, then Women are too deceitful, if I don't smash her to pieces this time, my surname will not be Li."
As he spoke, he shook his hand and broke away from Li Yan.
Li Yan groaned and staggered, seemingly not holding him back.
Li Shu really rushed out, holding a hoe and smashing towards the lotus.
Lotus screamed in fright, and instinctively hugged Li Xiangyu next to her.
Li Xiangyu's face was pale, and she opened her mouth wide for a moment, forgetting what to say.
Li Mo broke off He Hua's hand, pulled Li Xiangyu, and then scolded Li Shu, "Third Brother, put it down."
Holding a hoe in one hand and pointing at the lotus in the other, Li Shu said angrily, "Brother, don't worry, this woman can't do without a lesson. Last time we were allowed to marry into her house, we didn't agree. Today we are here again. It's too much. Our brothers Even if you've been single for the rest of your life, you wouldn't mind going to someone else's house to live in someone else's house, and in the future, if your child takes someone else's surname, you'll always be a shy bastard."
Li Mo did not speak with a sullen face, only looking at Li Xiangyu.
Li Xiangyu hurriedly explained, "Sanlang, it was wrong."
"Auntie, you still say
I was wrong? Wrong is wrong, I will beat this woman to death. "As soon as Li Shu got angry, the more he looked at the lotus, the more he disliked it. Xiao Wu told him that she wanted to beat her daughter-in-law, but fortunately she was stopped by her elder brother. Damn it, let's see if he doesn't teach this stinky woman well today.
Li Shu held up the hoe and was about to smash it again, and the lotus ran all over the yard in fright, yelling, "Gu, please help me, Gu, tell him quickly, this time I didn't recruit someone."
"Oh, yes, Sanlang, put down the hoe quickly." Li Xiangyu stamped her feet anxiously, and shouted, "The lotus is here this time, not to let you marry."
Li Shu pretended he didn't hear her at all, and almost hit Hehua's heel with the hoe a few times, which made her jump, jump, and scream, howling all over the courtyard like a monkey.
Li Xiangyu knew that he wouldn't listen to what he said, so she hurriedly pulled Li Mo, "Da Lang, take care of it, Lotus came with me, if there is a mistake, how can I explain to her parents?"
"Third brother." Li Mo called Li Shu to stop.
Holding a hoe, Li Shu looked coldly at the lotus flower that was holding on to the corner of the wall and was almost out of breath, and asked Li Xiangyu, "Auntie, you didn't lie to me? You really didn't come here to recruit someone this time?"
"Really not." Li Xiangyu hurriedly said, "Da Lang, quickly go and take the hoe off his hand."
"No need." Li Shu threw the hoe casually, and strode towards Li Xiangyu, "Auntie, since you didn't come here to recruit, why did you bring this ugly woman to my house?"
"Me?" Among the nephews in the family, Li Shu has the most violent temper and doesn't take her as an elder seriously. At this moment, Li Shu is still angry, like a ferocious beast. She instinctively He took a step back, pulled Li Mo, and said, "Da Lang, you should tell Saburo about this."
"I want to hear what my aunt said in person." Li Shudao, "Last time, my aunt and that ugly woman brought two pig heads and a few catties of fat as a betrothal gift, and let all our brothers marry into their house. , the eldest brother and the second brother and I are doing well at the moment. We can help the family with some work. The fourth brother spends money on studying, so let’s just stop. In a few years, we will sell our old house, for fear that he will eat more food from their family."
Li Xiangyu's face was embarrassing, last time not only He Hua came alone, but also He Hua's parents and elder brother.
Brother Hehua has a disability, and he is taking care of a lot of things at home and outside of the house. Hehua's father and mother want to recruit a son-in-law to come back.
Seeing that their family's conditions are good, and her nephews have never been called daughter-in-laws, she agreed.
But the lotus father and mother deliberately wanted to establish a prestige in front of their brothers, and when they saw that the family was indeed poor, they spoke less politely and seemed to suppress them everywhere.
Li Shu became angry, and he drove them away with a hoe that time, but the lotus refused to accept it, and the two really fought.
Li Shu's wrist was bleeding out from the bite, and his lotus face was beaten like a pig's head.
Originally, this matter was fine, but who knows, He Hua had a crush on the brothers of the Li family. Even Li Shu, she felt that even if he was a little bit fierce, he was in her mind, so she pestered her again, and Maybe it did her some good.
"That didn't count last time. Auntie told them when she went back. After all, they are my own nephews. They really went too far. No, this time I came here mainly to make amends." Li Xiangyu said.
Li Yan laughed softly at the side, "Auntie is serious, half a year has passed, we almost forgot about that."
The implication is that this compensation is not too late.
Li Xiangyu knew that Li Yan's mouth was poisonous, so she pulled Li Mo, "Dalang, I told you at noon, please explain to Erlang Saburo, the lotus family is sincere this time, don't want you to marry, she will marry you Home-"
"What?" Li Shu's eyes widened when he heard it.
Li Xiangyu hurriedly said, "No dowry, they still have a dowry."
"It's not rare." Li Shu called out coldly.
Li Xiangyu's face trembled with anger, "Sanlang, you are presumptuous, is that why you talk to me like that?"
"Auntie, don't be angry, you know the temper of the third brother, Zhichangzi, what do you say?" Li Yan walked over and said comfortingly, "Auntie is thinking of our brother, we all know, but you are late One step, no, don't we have a daughter-in-law?"
"The lotus is bigger, she is smaller." Li Xiangyu said.
"Bah." Li Shu spat angrily, staring at Li Mo and Li Yan viciously, "Big brother and second brother, if you want to marry that woman back, you want it yourself, I don't want it. The house, go alone."
"Nonsense." Li Yan glanced at him lightly, "Who said we were going to marry? We all swore in front of our mother back then that we would only marry one in this life and only be good to her. How could we marry another woman?"
"En." Li Shu nodded in satisfaction.
Li Yan then looked at Li Xiangyu, "Auntie, I'm really sorry for making you go for nothing again."
"Erlang, you were so young back then, what do you know? Your mother is really, she is going to die, there is nothing to say, if you insist on making such a poisonous oath, is there a mother like her?" Li Xiangyu didn't expect him At this time, take the oath as an example, so I persuaded him.
There was coldness in Li Yan's eyes, and he said with a smile that was not a smile, "I don't know about this. My mother has been dead for more than ten years, and I can't ask. Or, next time my mother entrusts you with a dream, you can help me." Shall we also ask?"
Li Xiangyu's face suddenly turned pale, "Erlang, you—"
"Sister." Li Xiangcao hurriedly supported her sister.
p>
"You guys?" Li Xiangyu's feet became weak all of a sudden, and she leaned on her sister, and said dejectedly, "Okay, okay, forget about my meddling, I'll go, can't I go? I know all of you are yelling nicely. , they all hate me in their hearts.”
"Auntie, it's getting late today, rest overnight, and I'll take you back tomorrow." Li Mo said.
Li Xiangyu was completely disappointed. She was pointing at Li Mo to reprimand Li Yan. After all, who didn't know that this incident was a thorn in her heart, but where was she wrong? That woman harmed her most beloved three a brother.
"Lotus, come here, I have something to tell you when you enter the room."
The lotus was still leaning against the corner of the room. Hearing Li Xiangyu's call, she leaned against the wall and cautiously followed into the east room.
After the three women left, Li Mo looked at Li Yan helplessly, "Second brother, what you said just now was serious."
Li Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and stared at Westinghouse quietly. He knew that Li Man must be peeking from the corner of the room, so he raised his lips unconsciously, and slowly replied, "Brother, third brother and the others may not know, what should you and I do?" It couldn't be clearer, back then, if there hadn't been a big aunt to meddle in the middle, things like that wouldn't have happened to my father and mother."
"It's all over, she is also my father's sister, our eldest aunt, and she has indeed worried about us a lot these years." Li Mo said.
Li Yan snorted and said, "Brother, don't follow the old path of father."
"Second brother." Li Mo's expression changed, "Man'er—"
Li Yan continued, "We have only this one daughter-in-law. I have to guard it. I don't want to be like my father. I want to guard my daughter-in-law, take care of my children, and watch them grow up with my own eyes."
The last sentence deeply hurt Li Mo's heart.
Li Shu also echoed, "Yeah, big brother, I want to be like the second brother. My aunt is still my aunt, so let's just respect her, there's no need to listen to her in everything."
"Brother did a good job today." Li Yan said with a smile, compared to the first time he almost acquiesced, this time, he at least knows to ask him and the third brother to come back to disrupt the situation.
Li Mo looked at his two younger brothers helplessly, "Okay, after this matter is over, you can make up for Auntie, let's forget about it today."
"Yes." Li Yan and Li Shu looked at each other and smiled.
