Back in T City, Yao Yiyi returned to work, while Yao Ting was called by Mrs. Li.
Yao Ting stood and looked at Mrs. Li, who was sitting on the sofa with an air of dignity. She knew that the person who came was evil.
"Mom, you're looking for me, but do you have anything to tell me?" Yao Ting said patiently.
Mrs. Li threw a large pile of information in front of Yao Ting and said, "Can you give me an explanation? Why did you and Haoran go on a honeymoon trip instead of going to your hometown to pay off your elder brother's debt?"
Yao Ting didn't have any accidents. Mrs. Li didn't like her, so it was not surprising to find out that they did not go to Bali but transferred to her hometown. But this time, I don't know what kind of bloody storm will be caused. .
"Mom, I'm sorry." Yao Ting could only say this dry sentence out of a thousand words.
Mrs. Li played with her slender fingers, looked at Yao Ting contemptuously, and said, "Yao Ting, your family background is already very dissatisfying to me. If it weren't for the fact that you are Ou Qingheng's adopted god-sister, I won't allow you to come in, but now that you come in, you should learn from the daughters-in-law of other aristocratic families and support their husband's family. It's better for you. You've been here for a while and you will definitely cause trouble for the Li family. Do you think it's too good for you? Haoran is not busy enough with his work, why would he be willing to add a little trouble to him?"
“…”
Yao Ting had nothing to say in reply.
Mrs. Li has already convicted her, and no matter how she refutes, she is just making excuses, which may only make Mrs. Li even more angry.
Mrs. Li picked up the ashtray on the desk and threw it towards Yao Ting. With a "bump", the ashtray fell on Yao Ting and then fell to the ground. The ash almost spilled on her body.
"You are mute, and your elders don't even answer a word when they ask you. Are you trying to make fun of my mother-in-law?" Mrs. Li glared and said in a difficult manner.
Yao Ting twitched the corners of her mouth, and a faint bitter smile appeared.
"Mom, I used my money to repay the gambling debt this time. I have never harmed Haoran. I think it shouldn't be too much to use my own money to help my mother's family." Yao Ting raised her head and said stubbornly.
Mrs. Li was pressing hard on her unruliness step by step. If she didn't fight back, I'm afraid she would be so suppressed by Mrs. Li that she would be unable to lift her head.
"You and Haoran are both married. Your property is his property. Do you still want to hide your private property to support your unworthy mother's family?" Mrs. Li curled her lips and said sarcastically.
Yao Ting was obviously angry. She took a deep breath and said, "Mom, can you stop speaking so unpleasantly?"
Mrs. Li said: "Did I say something unpleasant? Isn't your mother's family just beggars who rely on people to help them?"
Yao Ting bit her lip and sneered: "Mom, you are a noble lady after all. You keep calling others beggars who rely on people to help you. Don't you think it is an insult to your self-cultivation?"
It's really because the tiger didn't show its power and regarded her as a sick cat.
Mrs. Li's face changed, she rolled her eyes angrily, and said, "It's only been a few days since you got married, but your family has made so many tricks, and they have treated us as a charity home for the poor." , Haoran spent more than three million in total. The Li family is not short of money, but they can't blackmail your Yao family like this. Everyone in the Li family is not a fool."
Yao Ting took a deep breath. No matter what, this matter was her family's fault. It caused Li Haoran to run around and delayed a lot of work.
"Mom, I will pay back the gambling money my brother owes to Haoran. This time I also spent my own money. If you don't like me taking money from home, I will never ask Haoran to take a penny. I will You can also make money, maybe not as much as the Li family, but you can still get three to four million." Yao Ting compromised.
"This way you can pretend to be pitiful with Haoran, right? Just say that my mother-in-law has deliberately made things difficult for you, so you can file a complaint with Haoran, right?" Mrs. Li sneered twice.
Yao Ting's head was pounding. Mrs. Li's embarrassment had reached its peak. She couldn't even write a manuscript, and she had to deal with Mrs. Li's deliberate difficulties every day.
"Mom, what do you want?"
Mrs. Li wanted to say something, but Mr. Li came down from upstairs and pretended to cough twice.
Yao Ting walked over and helped the old man downstairs.
Helping the person to sit down on the sofa, Yao Ting said: "Grandpa, do you want something to drink?"
"Make me a pot of Jade Guanyin to drink. I'm a little greedy."
Yao Ting nodded and said: "Grandpa, please wait a moment, I will prepare it for you right away."
When Yao Ting entered the kitchen, Mr. Li glanced at Mrs. Li, his cloudy eyes full of wisdom that could see through everything.
"Are you deliberately making things difficult for Yao Ting again?" Mr. Li said.
Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Dad, how can I do that? I just teach her how to be a good daughter-in-law of a noble family. I do this for her own good. After all, no one wants Haoran's wife to embarrass him."
Mr. Li nodded.
He pondered for a moment and said: "You can teach me, but don't be too radical and scare people away. Instead, you will end up complaining to Haoran."
Mrs. Li lowered her eyes, concealing the rolling emotions in her eyes, and responded: "I know, Dad."
Yao Ting brought out the brewed tea, poured it for Mr. Li, then picked up the cup with both hands and handed it to Mr. Li, saying: "Grandpa, please drink tea."
Mr. Li took it, took a sip, and his eyes couldn't help but brighten. He said, "This tea tastes good. It's a bit bitter when you first drink it. But after you moisten your throat, it has a faint refreshing fragrance. The tea is really good." It's delicious, but if the person who makes this tea doesn't have real skills, I'm afraid a pot of good tea will be ruined by her. Yao Ting, when did you learn how to make tea?"
"Back to grandpa, I learned from Yiyi with a special master before. Yiyi went to learn because Mrs. Ou likes to drink, and I was purely a companion. But after taking the class for a long time, I found it interesting, so I went to learn from the master. I learned the art of making tea, but I didn’t expect it to come in handy here." Yao Ting said politely.
Mr. Li looked at Yao Ting with a hint of admiration. There are not many young people who know how to make tea.
He took a sip of tea and asked, "Can you play chess?"
"I played with Yiyi when I had nothing to do, but compared to you, grandpa, I'm just a master of a skill." Yao Ting said politely.
Mr. Li's eyes brightened a little more: "Will you play two games with me?"
"If grandpa doesn't think I'm too stupid, then I will accompany you to pass the time, but then grandpa's men will need to show more mercy." Yao Ting said with a smile.
Mr. Li asked someone to bring the chessboard over, and then asked Yao Ting to play chess.
Originally, Mr. Li just wanted to come down and kill some time. Unexpectedly, he couldn't help but get serious about halfway through the game. He glanced at Yao Ting meaningfully and said, "Your chess skills are pretty good. You can almost catch up with me, an old man." It’s level.”
"Grandpa, thank you very much. Grandpa, you thought I was a junior, so you killed me to pieces."
Mr. Li smiled lightly, but became more serious.
The two played five games of chess. Yao Ting narrowly won two games, while the old man won three games. He touched his chin where there was no beard and said: "Sure enough, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. You can win under my hands." I've been here twice, but a kid can't be taught. If you train a lot, you'll catch up with me and surpass me in time."
"Grandpa, thank you for your praise. I am only average. You saw that I was a junior and asked me to do it. Otherwise, let alone winning two games, I would have to lose my armor after playing for less than five minutes in each game." Yao Ting praised the old man to death, and she was so happy.
Mr. Li smiled and said, "I think your child has a very stable temperament. Now that you have become a member of the Li family, there is no need to be so restrained in front of me. You can go fishing with me another day. What do you think?"
The corner of Yao Ting's mouth twitched, thinking that her thirty-year-old fashionable female artist actually asked her to go fishing. When she thought about it, the style of painting was so beautiful that she didn't dare to look at it.
"What, you don't like it?" Mr. Li asked.
Yao Ting came back to her senses and said: "No, it's just that I haven't fished before, so I'm afraid that going with grandpa will ruin your luck."
"No, come with me to meet a few old men and let them get to know each other." Mr. Li smiled.
The two of them had a pleasant chat, but it was as if Mrs. Li had become a foil.
Mrs. Li rolled her eyes at Yao Ting angrily, and simply said, "Dad, I'm going to have tea with my friends."
Mrs. Li left, and Yao Ting smiled awkwardly at Mr. Li.
"Grandpa, if you don't have anything to do, I'll go up first. The director is in a hurry for the script, and I still have a few most important chapters that I haven't written yet."
"Go ahead." Mr. Li didn't deliberately make things difficult.
Yao Ting went upstairs, and Mr. Li sat on the sofa and watched her disappear into the bedroom, his eyes filled with scrutiny.
"I didn't expect that she was such an interesting girl. I thought she would be very dull if she stayed at home all day writing. Unexpectedly, she was so talkative. She could also make tea and play chess. It seems that Haoran has discovered a girl who is full of treasures. A woman." Mr. Li said with a smile on his lips.
Mr. Li drank tea comfortably, then studied the chess games that had already been formed, raised his hand to mess them up, and played the game again, which was considered amusement for himself.
