Zhou Shuren picked up the unsorted thread. Although his palms were big, his fingers were very flexible and he could sort the thread quickly. "Nothing much, it was mainly a visit. The gifts are outside. I took a quick look and they were all bought in the county. They are not particularly expensive gifts."
Zhu Lan pressed Zhou Shuren's hand to indicate that the thread was enough, and said, "It's good that the county bought it instead of preparing it in advance."
If it was really prepared in advance, then they were well prepared. The sudden idea means that their family was an accident and the gift was not expensive. Their family just caught Shi Qing's eye and it was not to the point of calculation.
Zhulan asked again, "Didn't I tell you about what happened next door?"
"No, I didn't say anything about taking care of you."
Zhu Lan sneered, "This Mr. Shi is hoping that Wang Ru will be powerless. Mr. Shi is not here, but the plan has not been delayed."
Zhou Shuren also grew up in adversity, but he still didn't like Shi Qing. He was greedy and selfless. "Put away all the gifts for a while, lest someone from home sees them and spreads the word in the village. We've been too high-profile lately, so we'd better keep a low profile for a while."
"kindness."
In the main hall, gifts were placed on the table, two pieces of cloth, some snacks, as well as wine and tea. Compared with the jade bracelet last time, they were indeed not expensive. Zhulan called Li and Zhao over and prepared to give each of them a piece of cloth, and gave each room one pound of snacks. Zhulan put away the rest.
Zhulan only saw Zhao, "Where is your sister-in-law?"
Zhao said, "Sister-in-law is out."
Zhulan looked at the cloth and snacks. Mrs. Li was really arrogant. She would never leave without dividing the things before, but now she doesn't even care about the cloth. "Your sister-in-law has changed."
Zhao thought to herself that everyone in this family had changed, even Gaise's Chang Lian had become more cautious after the engagement. She smiled and did not respond to her mother's words.
Zhulan gave the cloth to Zhao and said, "Take it back and share it with your sister-in-law. Also take one pound of snacks back. Don't give them all to the child. These snacks are too sweet and are not good for the child's teeth."
Zhao: "I've written it all down."
Li came back at lunchtime, and from her excited state, it was clear that she had heard a lot of gossip. After dinner, Zhulan shared the news that Zhang Sanni had signed a contract to sell herself, and it was a death contract. Zhang Datie and his wife's plan failed.
Zhulan knew that it was Shi Qing who did it, so how could Zhang Sanni not seize the secret? However, "The news in the village is well-informed. Mr. Shi next door just left, how did the news spread?"
Li was happy to hear the news from next door, but her mother didn't like it. "Zhang Sanni went home and told Zhu that she was so angry that she stood at the door and cursed. Although she didn't curse Wang Ru directly, everyone understood her meaning and the news spread throughout the village."
Zhulan felt a toothache after hearing this. In ancient times, there was no entertainment, and people relied on gossiping to enrich their lives. "It's getting late, and Yulu should take a nap. Go and coax her to sleep."
Li was thinking about going to the village to gossip, so she quickly returned to the house to put the child to sleep.
Zhulan also went back to the room for a nap. What a wonderful life she had. In modern times, she was as tired as a dead dog. She had to work during the day and overtime at night, and had to attend various social events. A nap was a luxury for her. It was better to live in ancient times, where one could enjoy a slow life.
It would be better if she wasn't awakened by the crying sound. It was Li's loud crying. Oh, it seems that Li hasn't cried since she came to this house. Zhulan sat up suddenly, "What happened?"
Zhou Shuren was also startled. The cry of his eldest daughter-in-law was so penetrating. "I don't know. It seems that she cried all the way into the house."
Zhulan also had some feelings for Li. People get along with each other through getting along with each other. Especially after she found that Li had a lovely side, she liked Li even more. She quickly put on her shoes and went downstairs, "I'll go take a look."
