A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 523 It’s a pity
When Li Xiang took a break from his busy schedule, he heard from his mother about the embarrassing situation in the courtyard and couldn't help but laugh.

While the couple was trying on the new clothes sent by Li's mother, they were listening to her muttering about the complicated love affairs between the young man and the young woman.

"So the current situation is that the Yi family, from the oldest to the youngest, all want to marry into the He family. The He family's attitude is unclear and there's no definite answer at the moment. Then the Wang family intervenes and wants to marry into the Yi family, but the older generation of the Wang family is somewhat reluctant. Mom, is that what you mean?" Li Xiang summarized what Li's mother said.

Mother Li nodded, thinking that her son's summary was very accurate.

At the same time, she folded up the coat that her grandson had tried on and changed, thinking to herself that next time she did it, half an inch would not be enough.

This child is growing too fast. He looks like his father and uncle. When it is time to grow, he grows rapidly.

"It's just the right size for me. In a month or two, it will be too short again." Qin Jingru watched from the side, muttering to herself as she looked at the clothes that fit her perfectly.

At first, she was quite happy to take the old clothes that were replaced by the host family.

She didn't mind that the clothes were old. In fact, even old clothes were much more decent than what many people wore.

Even now, she still doesn't mind.

The reason why Qin Jingru said this was that she had stayed in this family for a long time, and the host family treated her very well. She had developed feelings for this family and gradually regarded herself as a member of the family.

So when it comes to family matters, Li Xiang and the others don't hide them from her, and she can naturally speak her mind.

"That's right. When I was making the clothes, I was worried that they would become too small after a few days of wearing, so I deliberately gave them half an inch more space. But I didn't expect that the child would change every day. Fortunately, there is no shortage of cloth at home now. If it were in the past, he would have to wear clothes that exposed his arms and legs. Well, now I have a plan, and I will know how much to give him next time," Li's mother sighed with a smile.

"Grandma, it doesn't matter if I buy clothes from the store. Please don't get tired making clothes for me." Li Rui was admiring himself in front of the fitting mirror. When he heard his grandmother's words, he turned around and coaxed her sweetly.

Li's mother really liked his tricks.

Watching her grandson putting on the clothes she made and looking at himself in front of the mirror, and after a round of sweet "attack", her eyes suddenly narrowed into slits with a smile.

Li Xiang saw this and decided to add one more thing to make his old mother happier.

He suddenly sighed and said, "I am the one with the lowest status in our family now. I see that I have the least clothes this time. Mom, have you forgotten that you have a son now that you have a daughter-in-law and a grandson?"

Sure enough, his words drew Mother Li's attention back.

"You're so grown up, and you're not ashamed to compare yourself with your children's wife. I've done it for you twice, and it's still not enough." Li's mother was definitely unwilling to admit the fact that she was biased.

The grandsons have four sets, the daughters-in-law have three sets, the eldest daughter and son have two sets each, and younger brother Li and his son-in-law and grandchildren each have one set.

Everyone has it, how can you say she is partial?

"Mom, every time we made new clothes at home, you always held me tight first. I couldn't say no even if you said no. Now look at me." Li Xiang pulled the clothes on his body and moved closer to show his mother.

At first glance, his current outfit seems nothing special, but if compared with his son and wife, both the workmanship and the fabric reveal a sense of perfunctoriness.

But no matter how much he emphasized, Li's mother would not acknowledge her.

Although the eldest son's clothes are not the best, as long as there are other people at home who are at the bottom of the pile, don't even think about accusing him of being perfunctory.

Brother Li only had one set of clothes. Taking into account that he now wore a military uniform all year round, Li's mother made two of the four pockets fake in order to save the trouble of making his own set.

When Li puts it on, he will find that only two of the pockets have real ears.

Li Xiang didn't mean to cause trouble for Li's mother. After seeing that Li's mother's reputation as a good mother-in-law and a good grandmother was even more famous, he stopped talking. When he stopped talking, Qiu Fanghua picked up the previous topic.

"Mom, why don't the He family say anything? The two children have known each other since they were young. It wouldn't be bad if they really became a family."

Moreover, Qiu Fanghua felt that if it were any other family, they would choose Yi Xiaobao because of his background. He Yuzhu and Sister Tang should not be that kind of people.

The couple has some little calculations, but the bottom line is still there.

"How would we know? The couple doesn't want to talk about it, and we can't catch them and ask them." Mother Li had some guesses in her mind, but she couldn't say anything casually since it was an uncertain idea.

After all, Qin Jingru is here at home. Even though we get along well, I can't just tell everyone about everything.

Even at home, we have to distinguish between inside and outside conversations.

The Li family avoided it, but Qin Jingru thought it was simple.

She is a honest and straightforward person. If someone is nice to her, she will think that person is a good person.

So as soon as Li's mother finished speaking, she told her cousin the news she had heard from her cousin.

"I know. My sister said that He Yong didn't want to do it. She even saw the two children fighting in the yard." After saying this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

God knows how long she has been holding it in.

She is not someone who can keep secrets. She didn't have the chance to mention it before, and she also had to consider other people's reputation.

Now that the matter has been spread out and the masters are talking about it again, it won't be a big deal if she speaks out now.

The eyes of several people in the Li family looked at each other. For a moment, they became a little unpredictable, but quickly returned to normal.

Li's mother acted as if nothing had happened and continued, "Oh, it's all linked together. No wonder some of the rumors got out. Maybe it's not just your sister who saw it."

Qin Jingru felt that what Li's mother said made sense, so she nodded immediately to show that she agreed with her statement.

Li Xiang chewed over the word "unwilling" in his heart, and then questioned the future relationship between the He family and the Yi family.

It is not uncommon for discord between older generations to arise due to children’s affairs.

I just don’t know if the Yi and He families can handle it well this time.

I think the Yi family will not break up with the He family unless it is absolutely necessary. After all, when it comes to retirement, the uncle and aunt still have some concerns about the He family.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang also sighed. The two children have been so good to each other since they were young. It would be a pity if one of them was interested but the other was not.

He Yong, one of the pitiful protagonists, was stressing this once again to his parents at home.

"I'll say it again, I only think of Xiaobao as my sister, and I've never thought of anything else. Please don't ignore my wishes and randomly match us up."

He Yuzhu was stepped on by his wife under the table.

Well, since his wife doesn't want to talk about it, let him have a manly conversation with his son.
