Chapter 477: Being Bullied to the Doorstep!

e fun in the future." 。Let's just stick to our game and have fun. 。Having said that, he called out to the proprietress, "Bring me those good stuff you've been hiding. Don't say they haven't been tra...She had only spoken half a sentence when Aunty Wu, Hui, and Liu's wife came back carrying the children and some food.

She hung up and said, "Tomorrow will be quiet. I'll tell Auntie everything in detail."

Li Laotai nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk tomorrow. The most important thing is that we are all back. You just relax, eat well, sleep well, and take care of your health. Everything else is minor!"

They just got back today, and the house is full of people. It's not a good time to bring this up.

Wu Da's wife, Hui's wife, and Liu's wife entered the room and saw that Mrs. Cui's eyes were slightly red. They guessed there was something wrong, but they wisely didn't ask.

Hui-niang and Liu's wife took out the needles and thread they had prepared earlier and handed them to Madam Cui one by one.

Both of them were skilled with needle and thread, especially Hui-niang. She could be a teacher for Jia-yin; her craft was absolutely first-rate.

Mrs. Cui touched the embroidered shoes and then looked at the soft tunic. She also smiled.

It's great to feel that there is reciprocity, and that people care about what you do.

At this time, Dongmei also led Jiayin in from outside and said, "Grandmother, the village sent some food over last night, originally intending to send it to Luo'an. Now that you are back, there is no need to bother."

Li Laotai glanced at her grinning granddaughter, and she understood.

It must be this little girl, using Zhuangzi's name again to add things to tonight's banquet.

Old Lady Li hugged her granddaughter and gave her a kiss, then instructed Tao Hongying, "Everything is ready, now it depends on your cooking skills. Make something delicious for everyone tonight!"

"Don't worry, Mother! I'll get started right away!" Tao Hongying rolled up her sleeves and smiled with glee.

A resourceful woman can't even cook a meal without rice. She has everything she needs - chicken, fish, meat and eggs - what could possibly be difficult

Moreover, this is a reunion dinner and a celebration feast. Other families would love to hold such events, but they haven't had the chance yet!

Hui Niang and Liu Saozi put the child on the kang, then chased after Tao Yuru to the kitchen to work.

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Li, along with Ms. Cui, were sitting on the kang, looking after the children while chatting idly.

Jia Yin sat in Lady Cui's arms, holding a large fruit in her hand.

She took a bite, then passed it to her aunt for a bite. The aunt and niece shared the food, neither minding the other, and ate happily together.

Three chubby dolls lay on the kang, watching them with longing eyes, drooling, stretching their little hands and occasionally scratching in mid-air.

I wonder if he's trying to grab the fruit, or the heartless little sister!

Jia Yin was being mischievous, often bringing fruit up to their noses and letting them smell its sweetness before quickly taking it away and biting into it herself.

This made three chubby little dolls dance and wave their hands, angrily muttering "ah ah" nonstop, protesting vehemently!

Li Laotai and Wu Dalian laughed uncontrollably. Li Laotai tapped the foreheads of the three chubby babies and chided, "Three little fools! When you grow up, you'll probably be bullied by your older sister. You three better think of a way to work together when you have nothing to do!"

Mrs. Cui also smiled, she hugged her plump niece to her side, as if to keep a close eye on these "bullies" for the chubby dolls!

When dusk fell, the old men and Liu Biaotou and others were already seated in the main hall chatting and laughing. Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer only just returned from the city by carriage.

Today is the grand court meeting. Logically, Li La'er and Mr. Wen should have come back together since they entered and exited together!

Li Laotai then asked a question, Li Laoer waved his hand and said: "Don't mention it, we are all going back in a carriage. The people from the Wen family said that Mrs. Wen is sick, so Mr. Wen had to go back with them."

Although people weren't quite sure about the details of Wen's family affairs, they knew that Mr. Wen and his family didn't get along, after all, he always spent New Year's Eve dinner at Li's house.

So, no one asked further, but a hint of sadness deepened in Mrs. Cui's eyes.

Soon, the wine and dishes were served. Everyone was divided into two tables, chatting and laughing, eating and drinking, bringing back the vitality to the courtyard which had been quiet for so long.

In the sky, a sliver of moon was half-hidden in pale clouds, occasionally peeking out its little face to quietly gaze at the Li family's courtyard, taking in the novelty...

After a night of silence, the next morning, Li Zhensheng ate breakfast and went into the city as usual. Li Laoer went to the schoolhouse and wandered around several places in the mountains and valleys.

Li Laotai missed Madam Cui, so she got a small straw hat for her granddaughter and planned to invite Madam Cui for a walk in the orchard.

At this time of year, some impatient fruit trees have already bloomed, making it just right for sightseeing and relaxing.

It seems that Mrs. Cui had also gone to the same place, and both parties happened to meet at the hospital gate as they were leaving.

Mrs. Cui pointed to the lunchbox in Qiong's hand and said, "I made some snacks, thinking of going on a spring outing with my sister-in-law and Fuku."

Just as Old Mrs. Li was about to speak, a carriage turned in at the village entrance.

Lao Li thought it was guests from the mountain valley and didn't pay attention, but Cui's face changed, turning angry. She said, "Sister-in-law, it's Mrs. Wen of the Wen family! She actually followed us here!"

Li Laotai also frowned, not understanding what the Wen family was planning.

Even if one disliked Madam Cui's entry into the household, it shouldn't be this relentless. To even come to Broken Gold Beach!

She pulled Mrs. Cui behind her and instructed, “Here, you are the junior, so don't need to show up if anyone comes looking for you. Let me see what they're up to, and then we'll figure out a plan.”

Mrs. Cui was about to speak when the carriage of the Wen family arrived.

A black coach with a flat top, pulled by strong chestnut horses, was very imposing.

As soon as the carriage door opened, an older woman jumped down and placed a footstool. Then, she helped a middle-aged woman out of the carriage. The middle-aged woman then turned around, and together they helped out an elderly woman who was about sixty years old.

The middle-aged woman had an ordinary appearance, but her expression was very dignified.

His expression was serious, even austere, and not particularly likeable.

While the old madam had thin eyebrows and small eyes, her face was narrow.

There's no warmth and kindness typically found in an elder, instead their eyes hold a hint of melancholy, making it feel quite incongruous.

And she immediately spotted Cui Madam behind Li Laotai, her eyes turning red, and softly called out, "Jinerou…"

Madam Cui shuddered unconsciously, causing Mrs. Li to frown and speak up, "Who are you Your carriage stopped in front of my house, no greeting, no courtesy, just coming up to talk to our young mistress, do you look down on our Li family"

The old madam was taken aback, her expression laced with a touch of uncertainty as she looked towards the middle-aged woman beside her.

A middle-aged woman lowered her eyes, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking. She merely stepped forward and bowed to Mrs. Li, saying, “You must be Mrs. Li, I presume We come from the Wen family of Xindu. My husband is the eldest son of the Wen family, and he now holds the rank of fourth-grade official, serving in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”

Having said that, she took a step back, revealing the old woman. Then she continued, "This is my mother-in-law. She came to the village today to visit the Cui family..."

Before she could finish her words, Lao Tai Li responded, “Oh my, you must be Mr. Cui’s mother and sister-in-law What a coincidence! I’ve long wanted to meet you both, but who would have thought you’d come visit today.”

Mrs. Wen's lips twitched. She had clearly said she was visiting the Cui family, but this Mrs. Li kept trying to bring the matter back to her own household.

Is this being naive, or are they deliberately trying to defend someone...the sun had already set in the west, and the world was covered with a light orange hue, which looked very beautiful in the courtyard.People disliked the stuffy feeling inside, so they moved to the eav...
