Chapter 639
"It's related to your little uncle." Jiang Shanqing smiled and gave a hint.

Li Meier didn't react too slowly, she raised her brows, and asked in a little surprise, "Is it... Sister Ahe?"

Jiang Shanqing nodded, indicating that Li Meier guessed right.

Li Meier really didn't expect these two to get together, so she asked curiously: "Before we left Yin County, sister Ahe already had a husband's family, did something happen later?"

Jiang Shanqing shook his head and replied: "I don't know the details, I only know that when Chen Pi met Ah He, she was already a widow, presumably her ex-husband died young."

After hearing this, Li Meier sighed, and exclaimed: "Speaking of which, Sister Ahe also had a hard time some time ago, but now that she has met Uncle Chen Pi, it can be regarded as a very happy life."

"Chen Pi wants to invite our husband and wife to dinner, thank me for transferring the shop to him at a low price, will you go?" Jiang Shanqing asked again.

"Go, I also want to visit Aunt Wei and Sister Yaya." Li Meier agreed without thinking.

Early the next morning, Li Yan went to the yamen early, and Li Xin and Jiang Xu also left before noon. Both of them had business to take care of now, and it was not the time to slack off. They just made an appointment with Li's family and waited for Qingming When we go back to our hometown to worship our ancestors together, we will have a good get together again.

As soon as Mrs. Jiang sent the two families away, Mr. Zhuang and Aunt Zhuang came to the door with Smell's cat on the other side of the street.

Mrs. Li really didn't want to see them, but no matter what, they were all relatives of her own family, and they lived on the same street, so it was not easy to drive them out.Besides, she is now the mother of the magistrate of the county, her status is different, and she has to be considerate when dealing with people.

Mr. Zhuang, who is a smart person in the business field, naturally knew about Li Yan's appointment as county magistrate early in the morning. If it wasn't because Li's family had guests yesterday, they would have been impatient to visit.

Now that he saw Mrs. Li, he had long lost the airy appearance he used to have, and complimented the old lady with a flattering face, "Old sister-in-law, I saw you as a very lucky person in the morning, and you are the fate of the madam. Look, there are really 1, your bearing is not far from that of the old lady of the Lu family."

Mrs. Li put on airs, with a faint smile on her face, and said reservedly: "Old Zhuang, what you said is wrong. Mrs. Lu is a lady who came from the official Marquis's mansion. She is not comparable to a country old woman like me. And your family is still married to the Lu family, so talking about them behind their backs is not good."

Master Zhuang's face was embarrassing, and he didn't know how to answer the words for a while, so he could only wink at Aunt Zhuang beside him.

Aunt Zhuang really didn't want to come this time, after all, she had dominated this sister-in-law in the past few years, and now she has turned into Mrs. Gaoming, so she can only be a little fussy.

Aunt Zhuang's face was full of smiles, and she quickly said: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Lao Zhuang didn't say anything bad about Mrs. Lu, but I just think that sister-in-law, your demeanor is completely different from before. If it weren't for your appearance It hasn’t changed, Lao Zhuang and I really dare not recognize each other.”

The corners of Mrs. Li's lips curled up slightly. Obviously, Aunt Zhuang's words put her in a good mood, but her attitude was still lukewarm, and she said slowly: "I went to the capital this time and saw a lot. A high-ranking official, even the royal relatives and nobles have seen it all, and the more you see the world, it will naturally be different."

Mrs. Zhuang and his wife gasped in shock after hearing Mrs. Li's words, and couldn't help sighing in their hearts: Damn, even the emperor has seen you. This old sister-in-law is really different now.

After being shocked, Master Zhuang flattered him even more, and by the way, he asked some insinuating things about Li Yan, saying that if the nephew needed any help, just ask, as an uncle, he would definitely go through fire and water, and he would not hesitate to do so.

The couple insisted on talking to Mrs. Li for half an hour, and Mrs. Li looked a little impatient, so they said goodbye and left.

After the couple left, Mrs. Jiang and Li Meier came over.

Mrs. Li moistened her throat with tea, and couldn't help but sigh with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, "Ten years ago, I never thought that this couple would be so flattering to my mother. The old saying is really good, Feng Shui takes turns, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi."

Li Meier changed a cup of tea for Mrs. Li aroused, and said with a smile: "It's not that grandma, you are lucky and a good person, God made you prosperous."

Mrs. Li also smiled and nodded in agreement, "That's a good statement. If I had the character of your Aunt Zhuang and Grandma, I would definitely not be able to become Mrs. Gaoming now."

Li Meier brought a plate of preserved fruit to Mrs. Li, took a piece and ate it, and said to her, "Grandmother, let me tell you something interesting, Lele, do you still remember the aunt Susu who married into the Lu family?" Do not?"

Mrs. Li also swallowed a piece of candied fruit, nodded and replied, "Of course I remember." This was a girl who loved her back then, with a big belly, who dared to come to live in her house when she was unmarried and pregnant, and almost killed her family. reputation.

"I heard that Uncle Lu reconciled with the wife in front of him. He brought all the dowry back to his mother's house. When he was arranging the dowry, he found that several rare jewelry were missing. Later, he found it in Aunt Susu's room. Oh, that lady was so tight that she wanted to take Aunt Susu to the government on the spot, but Uncle Lu tried to stop her and begged the old lady Lu, so she didn't go to the government anyway, but Aunt Susu paid for it. It's a lot of money, and this matter is quite a big deal, most of the wives and wives in Yin County know about it, Aunt Susu's face is quite embarrassing."

Li Meier is a good hand when it comes to gossip, she had the potential to be a storyteller when she was a child, and now she is even more vivid, as if she was there at the time.

Mrs. Li also listened carefully, and she tutted her tongue after listening: "This Zhuang Susu was not a peaceful person in the past. She had a child with a man before she was married, and she was rushing to be someone else's concubine. Now she is even more unbearable. He even started to steal chickens and dogs."

His tone was full of disgust and contempt.

Li Meier smiled and expressed her opinion, "Aunt Susu may not have stolen those jewels, after all, she really didn't need to do that, I reckon Uncle Lu took them from the vault and gave them to her Yes, it's just that men are always careless, so they can't tell the source of jewelry."

"Even if Uncle Lu doesn't know, then Zhuang Susu still doesn't know, I think she did it on purpose." Old lady Li said again with a light snort.

Li Mei'er nodded in agreement, after all, with Zhuang Susu's heart, she might think that doing so would make the lady in the house look bad, and she would be complacent.

Seeing that the grandparents and grandson were chatting happily, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help laughing and said: "You girl, where did you hear this?"

Li Meier smiled, "What's so difficult about it, Baozi just chatted with the maid brought by my aunt, and a few words made a lot of sense out of it."

After Jiang Shi heard this, she shook her head helplessly, "You, you are a smart and smart guy, Bao Zi is such an honest person, and now you have taught him to be such a ghost."
