Chapter 1 The illegitimate child of my uncle's house

In the year Li Meier was born, Father Li happened to be seriously ill. He thought he would give birth to a grandson and was very happy, but unexpectedly he was born a girl.

Father Li didn't come up in one breath, so he drove west of Hexi.For this reason, Mrs. Li disliked the eldest granddaughter very much. In the name of keeping filial piety, the full moon and the first birthday party were not held.

Li Meier's mother-in-law Jiang Shi did not know how much she was offended by this, but fortunately her husband Li Yan was very considerate and often comforted her, which made Jiang Shi's life not so sad.

Li Meier knew that grandma didn't want to see her since she was a child, so she seldom went to her room, but when she was three years old, Jiang's stomach still didn't move, so old lady Li became a little anxious.

Old Li's family has always been difficult for offspring, and Li Yan is a single heir for three generations. Otherwise, Li's father would not have looked forward to the eldest grandson so much. Now that Mrs. Jiang has given birth to a girl, she has been silent. How can Mrs. Li be in a hurry.

"Mother, don't worry too much. Ayan and his siblings are still young, and there will always be children." Li Qingqing persuaded his old mother, and even touched his slightly raised belly.

Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter's stomach, and became more and more anxious. She patted her thigh and said, "How can I not be in a hurry? You see, you have been married for six years, and you have a third child in your stomach. She Fortunately, it’s been three years and there’s been no movement at all, why is my old man’s life so hard..."

Mrs. Li began to howl as she spoke, obviously wanting to hear Mrs. Jiang who was doing needlework in the back room.

Li Qingqing was a little helpless, she knew what kind of temper her old mother had, if she didn't make a fuss for three days, she would feel uncomfortable all over her body, and when her father was still there, she could still take care of her, but after her father left, she completely let go of her nature.

"Why don't you... find a doctor to come over and show your younger siblings?" Li Qingqing couldn't bear her mother's howling like this, so she immediately suggested.

"How much will it cost? Our family is not well-off. Besides, it is not auspicious to ask a doctor if you are not sick or in disaster." Mrs. Li immediately changed her face when she heard that she would spend money to hire a doctor, and said dissatisfiedly.

Li Qingqing is speechless. My old mother has been so stingy since she was young, but thanks to her stinginess, she was able to raise their siblings well, and bought them a good dowry and betrothal gift, so that they can marry in a good way marry a wife.

"That's what I planned. Why don't you go to the temple and ask for a Guanyin to send your son back. I heard that the Guanyin Temple in the east of the town is quite effective. The daughter-in-law of the sister-in-law's family next door was conceived like this." With an idea, I just want to find my daughter to accompany her.

"Mother, you see that I have a body now, and it is not convenient to go around the temple. You should go with your younger siblings."

Li Qingqing was a little reluctant. Ever since she was pregnant with this child, she was too lazy to tighten her body. If it wasn't for the proximity of her natal family, she wouldn't even bother to come back, let alone travel so far east of the town.

Mrs. Li was not happy when she heard that, she lowered her face and said: "It's not that you don't know, I have nothing to say to her, if she wants to accompany me, you can't suffocate me to death, your tire is bad, moving more is good for your future Production is good."

Li Qingqing had no choice but to comply with what his own mother had said.

Mrs. Li was about to continue discussing the details of going to the temple with her daughter when a woman in her 40s hurried in from the outside.

"Ma'am, my wife is here." The old lady and Mrs. Li saluted and said.

Mrs. Li frowned when she heard the words, "It's not a good year, what are you doing here at this time?"

"Mother, it's rare for the in-laws to come to the door, what are you talking about?" Complaining to the old lady, Li Qingqing looked at the old woman and said, "Mother Lin, go and invite people in, and please invite the eldest grandma too. "

Mrs. Lin responded and went out to invite someone.

Taking advantage of this opening, Li Qingqing hurriedly told his mother as soon as possible.

"Mother, please be more polite when someone comes. My brother, sister, and her elder brother have just won the Juren, and now the court is considered to be up. Don't be as ignorant as before."

The reason why Li Qingqing gave such instructions was also because when the Li family married the Jiang family, the Jiang family's family status was much lower than that of the Li family. They had been officials in the court, and the Jiang family had just escaped extreme poverty and moved from the countryside to the town.

At the beginning, Mrs. Li was very unwilling to marry this kind of marriage, but her son just fell in love with her daughter and acted as if he would not marry a non-qing. Mrs. Li couldn't hold him back, so she could only agree in the end. This in-law has never been very attractive, and the two families have very limited travels.

"Isn't this just won the Juren, what's so great, A Liang won the exam earlier than him." Mrs. Li was a little unhappy, the A Liang she said was Li Qingqing's husband, Dong Liangchen.

"Mother!" Seeing her mother's indistinct appearance, Li Qingqing hated iron for being weak.

"Got it! Got it! I just need to be more polite." Mrs. Li curled her lips, accepting her daughter's words.

Mrs. Lin quickly led the man in.

Jiang's mother, Xu, looks older than Mrs. Li, but she has beautiful features and a very slender figure. One can tell at a glance that she was a beauty when she was young.Jiang Shi was also caught by Li Yan because she looked like her mother.

"My wife, it's our disrespect to come directly to the door today without saying hello." Mrs. Xu smiled and accompanied Mrs. Li first.

"Where is this? Our family, what two words are you talking about? Come over whenever you want, and I welcome you." Mrs. Li remembered what her daughter said just now, and her attitude was very enthusiastic.

"I'm not afraid of your in-laws making fun of you. Something happened at home. I'm anxious to discuss it with Yingying." Mrs. Xu said with a worried look on her brows.

Mrs. Li's heart of gossip was instantly ignited, and just as she was about to ask in detail, Mrs. Jiang brought Li Mei'er over.

Mrs. Jiang led Li Mei'er to salute Mrs. Li, Li Qingqing said first, "Sister and sister, quickly take your wife to your room to talk, your wife has something urgent to discuss with you."

Jiang looked at her mother suspiciously, then followed the trend, and went back to the wing room in the backyard with her mother.

"Yingying, something serious happened at home. Your elder brother brought back a child from somewhere, which made your father very angry. If the woman finds out about the marriage he has just arranged, you have to immediately Break off the engagement with us!" As soon as Mrs. Xu entered the room, she didn't even have time to drink tea, so she dragged her daughter and began to cry.

Li Meier, who was obediently eating snacks at the side, was suspicious when she heard what her grandmother said. She didn't seem to have heard of such a thing in her previous life. Could it be that time is too long and her memory is confused?
