Chapter 10 Mrs. Li's Attitude
In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Jiang got into the ox cart with a lot of things. Everyone in the Jiang family went to the gate to see her off. But we have to wait until the Chinese New Year.

"Be careful on the road, remember to ask someone to report back when you get home." Xu said with reddened eyes.

"Understood, father and mother, you all go back, it's very cold in the morning, don't catch a cold." Jiang Shi hugged Li Mei'er, her eyes were a little red.

"Shanqing, when you go to your aunt's house, you must be obedient, eat well, and don't be picky about your food." Mrs. Xu looked at Jiang Shanqing who was sitting next to Li Meier again, with a complicated expression on her face.

"Grandma, don't worry, I will take care of Brother Shanqing, and I will watch him eat every day." Before Jiang Shanqing opened his mouth, Li Meier said first.

Everyone was a little dumbfounded when they heard the words.

Jiang looked at Xu and Jiang Yanzhi, and said with relief: "Mother, second brother, don't worry, I will take good care of Shanqing."

"With my sister here, I can rest assured of you." Jiang Yanzhi nodded, then looked at Jiang Shanqing and said, "Shanqing, foster father will visit you when he is free."

Jiang Shanqing nodded and said nothing, feeling a little depressed for some reason.

The bullock cart finally drove away slowly, Li Meier was in Jiang's arms, desperately waving at the members of the Jiang family, and only sighed quietly when they were completely out of sight.

"Children, why are you sighing?" Mrs. Jiang pinched her face and said helplessly.

"I can't bear grandma and the others." Li Meier was very sad.

"It's not that we won't be able to see each other in the future." Mrs. Jiang is also reluctant to part with her parents, but that's how it is for a daughter. A married daughter can't always be by her parents' side if she spills water.

"But it will take a long time." Li Meier continued to feel melancholy.

This melancholy has been melancholy all the way, until she returned home, she still hadn't adjusted her emotions.

The ox cart stopped at the door of Li's house, and Li Meier was carried out of the cart by Jiang Shi. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Shanqing who was still in the cart, "Brother Shanqing, I will pull you down."

Jiang Shanqing glanced at Li Meier, who was not as tall as a wheel, and decided to ignore her.

"Mei'er, don't mess around." Jiang Shi scolded, and went to hug Jiang Shanqing down.

Jiang Shanqing felt a little ashamed, except for his mother, he hadn't been hugged by a woman like this for a long time, but who told him that he was just a child now, so he could only suffer in silence.

Jiang led the two children into the house, one in each hand.

Mrs. Lin was the first to hear the movement. When she came out to see them, she was very pleasantly surprised and said, "Grandma came back so early! Why didn't someone come back early to report a letter."

"We came back early, afraid of disturbing my mother's rest, has mother woke up?" Jiang asked with a smile.

"My wife just got up, and I'm about to bring her hot water." Mrs. Lin replied.

"Then I'll go over to say hello to my mother later." Mrs. Jiang said with a smile, thinking about how to tell Mrs. Li about Jiang Shanqing.

"Yo, this baby is so good, is she a relative of your natal family?" Mrs. Lin had noticed Jiang Shanqing who was beside Mrs. Jiang for a long time, and only asked now.

Mrs. Jiang smiled slightly, and only replied vaguely: "It's the child of a distant relative of my natal family."

Mrs. Lin gave a clear "Oh" and hurried to the kitchen without continuing to ask.

Seeing the back of her leaving in a hurry, Mrs. Jiang thought that she would definitely say something in front of her mother-in-law.

Sure enough, as Jiang expected, Mrs. Lin didn't even enter the kitchen, went around and went back to Mrs. Li's bedroom, and rushed to Mrs. Li's face in a hurry.

"Ma'am, something serious has happened. Grandma has brought her illegitimate son home!"

Mrs. Li was still sitting on the couch at this moment, listening to Mrs. Lin's words, she didn't bother to put on her shoes, so she stood up and asked, "What!? Who do you think she brought back?"

"The illegitimate child! It's the child that my uncle gave birth outside." Mrs. Lin explained again, lest Mrs. Li didn't understand.

"What did she bring him home for?" Mrs. Li muttered in confusion, but she quickly thought of something, and slapped her thigh and said, "It's not because she wants to raise him in our house!"

"I think it's likely to be true!" Mrs. Lin also said firmly, "I brought all the luggage and so on. That posture is to live in our family."

"No! I can't let her mess around. Our family is so innocent, how can we help someone raise an illegitimate child." Mrs. Li was about to go out to find Mrs. Jiang as she spoke.

"Ma'am, don't worry." Mrs. Lin hurried forward to hold Mrs. Li.

"I asked Grandma the identity of the child just now, and she only said that it was a child of a distant relative. If you go over to ask her so hastily now, if she doesn't admit it, we have nothing to say. It's better to wait for Grandma to come by herself. She has a baby, and she will always let you know."

Mrs. Li heard the same reasoning, so she nodded and said: "Okay, then let's wait for her, and I'll see how she explains it to me!"

Mrs. Li was waiting for Mrs. Jiang to come to her door, and Mrs. Jiang had already returned to her room with her two children.

Li Yan also just got up at this moment and was washing up. Seeing Mrs. Jiang and the others coming back, he was very pleasantly surprised.

"Why did you come back so early? I thought you would come back after having lunch at your mother-in-law's house." Li Yan stepped forward to take the salute from Jiang's hand, held her hand, and said very affectionately.

Jiang struggled to hold the hand held by him, feeling a little embarrassed, and gave him a look, "The children are still there!"

Li Yan smiled mischievously, let go of Jiang Shi's hand, and knelt down to hug Li Meier.

Li Meier smiled sweetly, pointed to Jiang Shanqing who was beside Mrs. Jiang and said, "Father, this is brother Shanqing, and he will live in our house from now on."

Li Yan's eyes were full of his wife and daughter just now, and now he saw the villain beside his wife, and looked suspiciously at Mrs. Jiang.

"I was just going to tell you about this." Jiang smiled, took Li Mei'er off Li Yan's body, and said to the two children, "Go to the back room to rest for a while, and mother will take you there later. Greetings from Grandma."

Li Meier knew that her parents wanted to talk alone, so she nodded obediently, and led Jiang Shanqing into the back room.

"Brother Shanqing, what do you say if grandma doesn't agree with you staying?" Li Meier asked with some concern.

"If you don't agree, you don't agree. It's the same everywhere anyway." Jiang Shanqing replied indifferently.

Li Meier shook her head again, and said very firmly: "Mother must have a way, she has the best way to deal with grandma!"
