Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 459 The deadline is approaching
The news brought by Wu Zhuang was something that Li Xin had already considered.

Her grandma had been ill in bed for a long time.

"... Second Aunt Li didn't inform the outside about this earlier, thinking that Sister Li's mother-in-law's family has a lot of things to do, and I don't want to talk about this and make you go back... It's just that Grandma Li's condition is getting worse It’s not so good now, Uncle Li is in a hurry, he insists that his grandson, granddaughter, granddaughter-in-law and grandson-in-law are all in front of him, but Second Aunt Li can’t hold on any longer, so she asked me to call you back..."

Wu Zhuang scratched his head, and said in a low voice, "Second Aunt Li asked me to tell Sister Li not to bring any money with me when I go back..."

Li Xin didn't have a good impression of Li Yueshi, after all, this grandma didn't treat her very well, and she had never even been very kind to her.Now she is not well, and Li Xin didn't feel too sad after hearing it.When people are old, it is inevitable that they will reach that step.It's just that she still sighed a little in her heart—maybe without the early death of the eldest brother, her grandma could survive for a few more years.

The last time I saw Li Yue was because of the birth of Jiu'er, and seeing him again, it is hard to say that heaven and man will be separated forever.

Such a hot day...

Li Xin sighed, and also knew Liu's purpose in asking Wu Zhuang to tell her not to bring any money.Maybe it's her uncle who wants to squeeze some money out of her father because of her grandmother's affairs.

Axiu came up with watermelon to greet Wu Zhuang to eat to relieve the heat, and Guan Wen also came to exchange a few words with Wu Zhuang and asked what was going on.

"Then Xin'er, when do you plan to go back?"

Guan Wen's face was a bit dignified. The death of the elder was not a trivial matter. Although Li Yueshi hadn't passed away yet, the doctor had also come to see what Wu Zhuang said, and said that the end was approaching, so there probably wasn't much left to live. head off.

Li Xin thought for a while, and said, "Now there are still things at home, otherwise you can stay here, and I will go back with Zhuangzi."

Guan Wen was about to say yes, but Wu Zhuang shook his head and said, "No, Sister Li, Uncle Li said that none of the grandsons, granddaughters-in-law, granddaughter-in-law and grandson-in-law will fall behind..."

What this means is that Guan Wen must go too.

Li Xin frowned immediately: "Where is there such a rule? It doesn't matter if the grandson, granddaughter-in-law and granddaughter go, but the grandson-in-law must also go?"

"Yeah..." Wu Zhuang scratched his head: "Uncle Li said that he also wrote to the two elder sisters of the Li family, saying that Uncle Li and Uncle Li are both only daughters, and they must not be here. The son-in-law must be here... "

Li Xin was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He looked at Guan Wen and said, "What do you say?"

Guan Wen pursed his lips: "Since that's the case, I'll go too. I'll leave the family matters to my second brother, and ask Axiu to help me take care of it. Tell your second brother and sister that your second brother is sometimes too aggressive. , need the second sibling to give him some advice."

Li Xin nodded.

It wasn't a big deal for her and Guan Wen to go back, but Li Xin felt that it would be a bit difficult for her uncle's request to fall on her third uncle.

Li Chun didn't know how he was doing at his in-law's house.Not long after the wedding, the father-in-law made the decision to bring in a concubine, so as to stop her man's idea of ​​letting in a brothel girl.Presumably Li Chun's life is not easy, can you bring her man back and talk to the two of them.

At least the last time the big brother died, she came back alone.

Li Xin went into the house to pack his things, but Guan Wen went to Guan Wu to explain the matter without mentioning it.Axiu helped Li Xin take care of it, and Li Xin also asked her a few words, then went to call Yang'er, got him a small bag, let Yang'er carry it by herself, then went to find Xing'er to say a few words .

After Guan Wen finished explaining, the couple took Yang'er and Wu Zhuang to Li's Village.

Because of Wu Zhuang, a half-child, Yang'er and he got along quite well, and the two walked ahead.Li Xin and Guan Wen were slightly behind, Li Xin counted the days and said, "My second cousin is probably going to give birth too."

Guan Wen nodded: "Just prepare a little ceremony."

"Hey, what's the point of this person's lifetime? Birth, old age, sickness, and death. In just a few decades, it's gone."

Li Xin sighed, a little worried: "Awen, I always feel that my heart is not at ease."

Guan Wen took her hand, stretched out his hand to touch her head, and wanted to touch Li Xin's chest, but was slapped away by Li Xin, his eyes widened: "What are you doing!"

Guan Wen smiled and said, "I see if you are sick."

Li Xin rolled his eyes at him angrily, and said, "It's not a physical matter." After a pause, he said, "I just heard the news, and I always thought something was going to happen to my natal family."

Guan Wen asked, "What did you think of?"

Li Xin pursed his lips, seeing that Wu Zhuang and Yang'er were walking far enough in front that he couldn't hear their small voices, so he pulled Guan Wen and said softly: "Grandma has lived in uncle's house all these years. Yes, my father and third uncle will still pay filial piety. If Grandma has been hiding it and she is not sober now, it is hard to say how to divide the money."

Guan Wen frowned suddenly: "At your uncle's house, it should be your uncle."

"That's how it is." Li Xin thought about it and shook his head again: "No, no, there's no reason for this..." Li Xin said: "Grandma has always favored Uncle and Uncle, so my father is right. It’s okay. If Grandma is sober, it’s okay. She clearly said that the money will be given to the uncle or split in half, half to the uncle and half to the third uncle. She didn't want the money from grandma either. But grandma doesn't know now, whether the uncle and the third uncle will argue is a problem, and whether it will bring my father into it is also a problem. You understand me Do you mean?"

Guan Wen frowned lightly, but he understood after all.

"The old man's coffin book..."

"This is not a coffin book..." Li Xin shook his head: "At that time, Grandma was clamoring to make her a coffin out of golden nanmu, but my uncle took this matter and spread it on my father. My mother was in a hurry. You should remember this, right? Grandma’s coffin has already been prepared. I dare say that uncle has always been an iron cock. He still has to ask my father and third uncle to pay for the money."

Li Xin was annoyed when he thought of the things he was about to face.It's not that she guessed her uncle's mind for no reason, it's that she has seen too much in the year since she came back.His uncle is such a person, he loves to be greedy for petty gains, but he is reluctant to pay even a penny more than others, and he loves to calculate everywhere...

Li Xin glanced at Guan Wen and said, "No matter what uncle says, don't talk to me."

What Li Xin was even more worried about was that the news that she and Guan Wen paid off Guan Ming's gambling debt with more than 100 taels of silver had already reached Lijia Village.

It was already past dinner time when we arrived at Li's house, but Li's family was still waiting for them. Mrs. Liu arranged for everyone to sit down for dinner, and called Wu Zhuang to make sure he had a meal.

There are more people, and there are still two tables, one for men and one for women and children.

Jiang's confinement child sat quite well, holding Jiu'er in his arms, his face full of pride for his mother.

Mrs. Liu sat next to Li Xin, and Li Xin asked softly, "How is Grandma doing?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it." Liu replied with a soft snort, "We are all very busy. We can't finish the housework at home. I have to take care of my grandchildren and watch her do it." What, are you worried?"

Li Xin tugged at Mrs. Liu: "At least it's grandma, it's mother, your mother-in-law, don't talk like that outside."

"I didn't say that outside. Didn't I just talk about it in my own home, and there were no outsiders." Mrs. Liu took a chopstick and put it into Li Xin's bowl. You come back, hey, your uncle rushed to the door to ask me. The old lady was still breathing, and didn’t know what he was doing, so she sent a letter to your cousin Zhu and called your cousin Bao back. It was so lively and lively, and because your third uncle came back and didn't bring his daughter back, he lost his temper... Those who don't know think he is so filial..."

Li Xin took a bite of his rice, chewed it and swallowed it, and said, "That's true, that uncle is indeed very filial, at least in the eyes of outsiders."

Mrs. Liu sneered: "If you make such a big noise, don't everyone in the village say that he is a model of filial piety?"

Mrs. Zhang said softly: "Because mother-in-law didn't go to see grandma, uncle even said a few words about father-in-law..."

Mrs. Liu waved her hand: "I can only talk about it, what else can I do other than talk about him? If I know I can't be offended, I will go directly to Li Laoer."

Li Xin smiled and said: "Mom, don't take it seriously, can't you just do it?"

"I'm not serious about it." Liu stood up and said, "I'll go see how the soup in the kitchen is doing."

Mrs. Liu went into the kitchen, and Mrs. Zhang said to Li Xin in a low voice: "Because of Grandma's illness, uncle didn't mention anything about grandma's birthday. Uncle stopped him, saying that grandma was seriously ill and it was not appropriate to move the ground. If it moved, it would be detrimental to grandma. I had already agreed the time with the foreman, so I had to continue Procrastination. My mother-in-law has a bad temper during this time."

Jiang Shi whispered: "Just holding Jiu'er and seeing Jiu'er smiling at her, and Shan Zixiao dou calling her grandma around her, she will be in a better mood."

Li Xin nodded lightly, and Mrs. Zhang said: "Two days ago, the fourth uncle also sent a message, saying that a date has been set to welcome the relatives and marry a new fourth uncle. It will be the day after tomorrow. It was originally a matter The happy thing, but the mother-in-law didn't look very happy when she heard it, mainly because the things here got in the way, and the mother-in-law was worried that she wouldn't be able to get away the day after tomorrow."

"How do you say that?" Li Xin asked suspiciously: "It's not difficult to go to have a wedding, can't we just slow down the work at home?"

"Didn't you listen to my mother-in-law? Sister, she didn't go to see grandma when she was seriously ill. What she told uncle was that there was too much work at home and no time." Zhang said: "If she goes to grandma's My son is going to watch the ceremony, uncle can't say that she has time to go back to her mother's house to see her brother's reunion, but she doesn't have time to visit mother-in-law? When the time comes, the hat of unfilial piety will be removed, how can mother-in-law afford it?"
