The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 36 Her self-esteem and pride

Mrs. Gongsun also tasted it and liked the cake very much. It was soft, she could bite it, and it was delicious.

"Yes, Mrs. Li is really ingenious." Old Madam Gongsun praised her. The other party was able to make four kinds of snacks with great care, which can be regarded as careful.

I didn’t pretend to be a fool and buy some valuable things that would overwhelm my family, nor did I hesitate because I didn’t have enough valuable gifts.

It's good if it focuses on one intention.

Mr. Gongsun was very happy and couldn't wait to eat the hot new pastries.

"Ms. Li, I recently heard that your stove and briquette business is doing well in this town. There is more demand here in Lanshan County. Have you ever thought about opening a shop in the county?"

Li Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Yes, there are more families here in the county. Briquettes are more convenient than firewood and the business is better. I am planning to rent a shop in a suitable place in the county in the near future."

Mr. Gongsun took out a house deed and handed it to Li Xiaoyue with both hands, "I have a shop here that has been empty all year round. It is also empty. I might as well give it to you. Please accept it."

When Li Xiaoyue heard this, she was slightly startled and waved her hand and said: "The old lady has given me enough. If you give my family a shop because of our relationship, then my family will take advantage of the Gongsun family. This should not be the case with relatives. "

Mr. Gongsun pointed to the pastries on the table, "These pastries and the pastry recipe just now are also very valuable, enough to buy a shop."

Li Xiaoyue pursed her lips and smiled, then shook her head, "The Gongsun family gave Chang Huan a lot of gifts, and they are of high value. I don't have any reciprocal gifts in return, only this little ingenuity. If Mr. Gongsun also makes a price and offsets it with the shop, it will really make me happy." I feel uneasy."

Mr. Gongsun shook his head and laughed. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li refused. She was really stubborn.

On the contrary, Mrs. Gongsun liked Li Xiaoyue's behavior and behavior more and more.

"Son, this is your fault. Relatives don't get along like this. Since your shop is empty, why not lend it to Madam Li? Wouldn't this help Madam Li who is in urgent need of a shop?"

Mr. Gongsun's eyes lit up, "That's okay. I'll ask the butler to take you to see it later."

Li Xiaoyue thought for a while and said, "Mr. Gongsun, we are relatives, business is business, and public and private matters should be kept separate. I appreciate the kindness of the old lady and Mr. Gongsun, but this must be rented by me, Li Xiaoyue."

"I will prepare the contract later, and I will pay the rent on time, so that I can use the shop with peace of mind. If Mr. Gongsun and the old lady do not agree, I would rather go to the trouble of finding a middleman to help find a shop, and I will not use Gongsun's shop. .”

This is Li Xiaoyue's persistence and her stubbornness.

She wanted to rely on the power of the Gongsun family to cancel the engagement of her eldest daughter, but she definitely did not want to take advantage of the Gongsun family too much in terms of money.

If she continues to accept unequal gifts from the Gongsun family, and over time, she treats others softly and eats others softly, she will lose her self-respect and pride.

Mrs. Gongsun seemed to see Li Xiaoyue's strong look when she was young. She applauded and praised, "Good! I appreciate Mrs. Li's style."

"I make the decision to rent this shop to Mrs. Li. As for the rent, it will be based on the market price. You can ask about it and we will sign the contract later."

"Okay, son, you take Changfu and Li Zhuangshi to the front yard for a walk. Xiaoyue, Changhuan, I, and I play leaf cards."

Mr. Gongsun stood up and said, "Yes, mother. Madam Li, Chang Huan, please have fun."

Li Xiaoyue and Liu Changhuan stood up and said goodbye, "Thank you very much."

Mrs. Gongsun held Li Xiaoyue's hand and looked at Li Xiaoyue carefully. Her skin was not white, but it was not black either.

There is no maintenance, it all depends on the appearance of the facial features, so now it looks quite energetic and the charm is still there. "Xiaoyue, you fall in love with me, you have been friends for many years, I am determined to be with you."

Li Xiaoyue looked happy, "Thank you, madam, for the compliment. If there is anything wrong with Xiaoyue, please correct me."

Mrs. Gongsun smiled and said, "You're right! You are a good person and conduct yourself well. Especially when I heard that you divorced your ex-husband directly, I was really surprised. But later, I thought you did a good job."

"Why can't a woman divorce a man? You supported him in his studies, and he finally passed the exam, and yet he wants you to reduce yourself to a concubine. It's so shameless. You won't give in, and you can take advantage of it and directly let the betrayed man You are really smart to cleanse yourself and leave home."

This is what Mrs. Gongsun admires most about Li Xiaoyue.

When she was a prisoner of the Qi Kingdom, Mrs. Gongsun used to kill people with a kitchen knife. She had a strong temper and despised women who couldn't live without men.

Li Xiaoyue heard Mrs. Gongsun's heartfelt appreciation and had a better impression of this kind and wise old man.

"It made the old lady laugh. To be honest, when I was a young girl, I liked handsome scholars and was dazzled by it."

"When I got married, I worked hard and endured no matter how tired I was. But I can't let others abuse me. I gave birth to five boys and two girls, and they are all grandmothers. If you ask me to be my concubine, you are not treating me like a concubine." Peel off your face and trample it under your feet?"

"I'm old enough to be a grandma. Do I still care about a man who doesn't care about me? Of course not! I'm 33 this year. If I live to be 80, I still have half of my life left to live. I won't Add to your troubles."

"Besides, Liu Yunde is over 30 and a grandfather. I don't care about being a helper anymore. Out of sight, out of mind, just throw him away!"

"Hahaha!" Mrs. Gongsun burst into laughter and kept patting Li Xiaoyue's back, "Yes, you are a coward, and you still think of yourself as your own little meat? We don't care!"

"This is how you should be as a human being. You have yourself first, then you have parents, husband and children. Don't lose yourself for other people. That's a bit far. Xiaoyue, can you play leaf cards?"

Li Xiaoyue shook her head, "Old madam, Xiaoyue doesn't know how to play leaf cards, but I've been good at playing cards since elementary school. If you teach me how to play a circle, Chang Huan and I can learn it."

Mrs. Gongsun greeted, "Yes, I don't know how to learn. I didn't know how to learn before. I learned it after staying in the capital for a while. In fact, it's not difficult. The rules are like this..."

Aunt Cai had already put the cards on the table, and Mrs. Gongsun personally explained them to Li Xiaoyue and Liu Changhuan.

Li Xiaoyue listened carefully, and she discovered that some of the tiles were similar to mahjong.

Furthermore, with cards in hand, how can Mahjong be comfortable?The clattering sound of mahjong is more pleasant to the ear and more intuitive.

The rules are not difficult. Li Xiaoyue has already mastered them, and Liu Changhuan has gradually mastered them after playing two games.

Mrs. Gongsun asked Grandma Cai to sit down, and the four of them gathered at the table and started playing leaf cards.

It’s not a big deal, it’s just copper coins, just for fun.

While Li Xiaoyue was playing cards, she was thinking that next time she gave a gift to the Gongsun family, she would give a pair of mahjong!
Mrs. Gongsun will definitely like it!
Originally, Li Xiaoyue wanted Mrs. Gongsun to win, but Mrs. Gongsun was unlucky. Everyone else won, so she lost.

For a moment, the old lady was out of breath.

Li Xiaoyue actually had a record of winning six games in a row, and it was all the old lady's cards that allowed her to win.

Li Xiaoyue was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. She was worried that Mrs. Gongsun would lose her temper. What should she do if she got angry?
