There are mountains, rivers, and wolf kings

Chapter 239 Liu Xiaorui's Abnormality
Before Li Zhao entered the courtyard, she heard the laughter of Li Haitang and Gao's family inside, and her face showed disdain. When he arrived in Tongcheng, he eagerly approached Haitang to curry favor.

Originally, she was an elder, so she should put on airs and sit in the room waiting for Li Haitang to visit them, but Li Haitang obviously had no intention of coming to see them, thinking about the gift money that the old ER said before, she decided to bring Bring a few daughters-in-law over to have a look.

Just like what the third child said, since the gift money is required, it is not a little, it is enough for the whole family to spend a period of time, thinking that the family has little income and life is tight.

Besides, looking at the house, one could tell that Haitang didn't care about the little money at all. Even if it was plain, the Li family had raised her for so many years, wouldn't she have to give some money to honor them?
Thinking of this, Li Zhao felt that he was a famous teacher, so he entered the courtyard with his head held high.

As soon as Mrs. Gao Sun saw the Li family coming, the smile on her face faded a little, she took Haitang's hand and patted her lightly, and said lovingly: "It's not too early, this car along the way The old bones are about to fall apart, so I will go back to rest first, and you should sleep well tonight, and get up early tomorrow."

Haitang nodded, got up and sent the Gao family to the gate of the courtyard, watched them leave, and didn't go back to the room until they were nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile, Li Zhaoshi in the room looked at the gift from the Gao family on the table with disdain on his face.

When Li Haitang entered the door, she happened to see Li Zhaoshi flipping through the things that Gao's family had given her on the table, she couldn't stop curling her lips, feeling a little annoyed.

He coughed dryly and walked in.

Seeing being caught by Li Haitang, Li Zhaoshi didn't feel a little embarrassed, but said: "Haitang, look what these are, peanuts, beans, all are worthless things. Don't be fooled by these people, don't they just want to get more benefits from you by giving you these small favors? How much are these things worth?"

Li Haitang ignored her, and just called Qiu Ge: "Put all these things away, put a box of pastries and send them to the ancestral house, so as to save you from being hungry at night. By the way, take the 100 yuan that uncle gave you earlier." Put the two silver bills in the food box, add another 1000 taels, and tell grandpa that this is from me to honor her."

Then he looked at Li Zhaoshi with a half-smile and stopped talking.

At first, when Li Zhao heard that the Gao family had given Li Haitang 100 taels of silver, she was shocked. For 100 taels, even if the whole family did not eat or drink, they would have to save for a few years. The Gao family was really willing to do so.

But later, when Li Haitang said that she returned the 100 taels and added 1000 taels, Li Zhaoshi was not calm. 1000 taels, she had never seen so much money in her life, so this girl said it lightly to the Gao family 1000 taels of silver.

It seems that this girl is really rich, but because of this, Li Zhaoshi suddenly changed her mind and didn't want gift money anymore.

How much money can the gift money cost?The Gao family made 1000 taels just by changing hands.

The eyeballs rolled around, and then he smiled and said to Li Haitang: "Look at my memory, I came here in a hurry just now, but I forgot to bring the money I gave you at the bottom of the box. I'll go back and get it."

Mrs. Li was still a little unresponsive, and looked at Li Zhaoshi with a bewildered expression. Didn't she agree to ask Li Haitang to ask Gu Yongjia for a gift?

Why not only don't you want money now, but also pay it backwards?

Thinking that the money would come from the public, she quickly pulled Li Zhaoshi's sleeve and said, "Mother, why didn't you agree..."

How could Li Zhaoshi let her say that, and once again hated Li Shi's stupidity in his heart, he dragged her and Zhao Xiaonian out, and he couldn't keep these two here to ruin a good thing. As for Liu Xiaorui, because it was too She didn't have a sense of existence, and was directly ignored by her. This third daughter-in-law, the three sticks can't make a boring fart, and she won't talk much if she stays here, so don't worry about her.

Li Haitang naturally knew what twisted intestines were in Li Zhaoshi's heart, and a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth.

Then he looked at Liu Xiaorui, who had a dull expression in front of him, and was a little surprised by her changes in the past few years.

I still remember that when Liu Xiaorui first arrived at Li's house, she was the most beautiful girl in the ten miles and eight villages. People, she did not despair of life.

It's only been five years. What has happened to make a girl who was once so lively and bright become this woman with desolate eyes? She is only in her twenties. In modern times, this age is still called a child. , still enjoying the good time in college, that good time has just begun, but she has already been bent back by life.

In order to reduce the sense of presence, Liu Xiaorui deliberately bent her back. From the moment she entered the door, her eyes were fixed on the ground without moving away. When Li Zhaoshi left, she didn't follow, and she didn't know whether she didn't want to follow or didn't at all. see.

Although this aunt did not help them at the beginning, she did not harm them either. When they left, the reluctance in her eyes was real, and she had shown kindness to them. Emotional.

She asked softly, "Third Aunt, how have you been doing these past few years?"

Liu Xiaorui raised her head, her eyes were a little panicked, and she looked around again, only to find that only she and Li Haitang were there, she was obviously relieved.

Immediately afterwards, he realized that he had overreacted in front of Haitang, blushed a little, lowered his head and said nonchalantly: "Haitang, I'm sorry, I was thinking of something else just now, and I didn't notice what you said."

Li Haitang saw that she was uncomfortable, and didn't make things difficult for her, but asked again: "Let me ask you, how have you been in the past few years."

Liu Xiaorui's eyes were a little dodgy, and he quickly pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and said softly: "I embroidered this myself, and it's nothing valuable, so don't dislike it."

The handkerchief is just ordinary fabric, but the mandarin ducks playing in the water are embroidered vividly.

Liu Xiaorui is good at embroidery. When the two met Liu Xiaorui for the first time, they gave her an embroidered screen.

Li Haitang held the handkerchief and was very grateful in his heart. This kind of thoughtful gift is the most rare, just like the souvenirs given by Gao's family, they are all from the heart.

"Thank you, Third Aunt, I like it very much."

Liu Xiaorui smiled implicitly, then seemed to think of something, and said again: "Hurry up and put it away, mother will be back soon."

Li Haitang was puzzled for a moment, it was just a handkerchief, it was not a valuable thing, it was no big deal for Li Zhaoshi to see it, but she was so panicked, there must be a reason for it, but Liu Xiaorui didn't say anything, she didn't know much Asked, just silently folded the handkerchief and put it in the armhole.
