Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 21
Li Zhu has already made a decision on the way, her current task is to save money so that she can leave the Li family at any time in the future.As for the household registration and wayfinding, after she gets familiar with the situation here, she will slowly figure out a way.

According to her observations in the past few days, this dynasty (it should be called Dayan according to my cousin) did not have too strict restrictions on women, at least not as scary as in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Women can also walk in the streets, and there are no women in the village who have their feet bound, and some widows remarry.

After walking for more than an hour, Li Zhu returned to Lijia Village.

The Li family is still the same.The chickens in the yard are clucking, the pigs are grunting, and the people are making noise.

Before she entered the house, she heard his voice first.

First came Li Ji's voice: "Mom, I'm going on an outing with my classmates tomorrow, so prepare me a tael of silver. Also, let them wash my clothes."

Xiao exclaimed: "One tael of silver, my son, isn't that too much? Our family is not rich."

Li Ji said impatiently: "One or two taels of silver is too much? We may go for two days, we have to eat and enjoy flowers. It's too shabby, can I afford it? Last time you only prepared two hundred for me, but you were rejected by your classmates." It’s a joke. Don’t let me study for fear of spending money. You want to enjoy my blessings in the future, but you don’t want to spend money. How could it be a good thing!”

Xiao's softened, and coaxed: "My son, mother didn't say no, why don't you just say a few words about you."

"Huh." Li Ji snorted and slammed the door hard.

"Okay, okay, I'll go tell grandma."

Li Zhu stood at the door for a while. It really takes courage to go back to such a home.

She lingered and didn't enter the house, so Mrs. Xiao went into the house to discuss with Mrs. Liu.Her two older sisters were whispering in the yard.It was soft at first, then louder and louder.Li Zhu still has an impression of the two sisters.The second sister is mean-speaking and a little lazy, and always likes to dictate to herself.The third sister is a little better, and sometimes defends herself.

The second sister said angrily: "That broom star died at my aunt's house, and all the family work was pushed to me. It's really annoying."

Third Miss said in a low voice: "Stop talking, hurry up and get to work. You'll be done when you're done."

"Oh, can you finish it? After finishing this one, there will be another one. Don't think about being idle this day."

The two were talking, when Liu scolded: "You two are dawdling, you are going to die." The two were too frightened to speak again.

Liu scolded again: "Why hasn't that dead girl come back yet? I'll tell his aunt tomorrow. If she really cares about that broom star, I'll give it to her to support her."

Xiao said flatteringly: "Mother, look at the money I sent my son to travel..."

"Fuck, money, money, where did I get the money as an old woman? I don't believe that you don't have a tael of silver in your hand. Don't just think about picking it from me all day long."

"Mom, isn't money tight?"

Mrs. Liu opened the courtyard door and walked out, just in time to see Li Zhu sitting on the stone pile at the door, basking in the sun.

When she saw this, she suddenly became angry, opened her eyes wide and cursed loudly: "You are a guest, once you get home, you don't do any work, and your buttocks take root like a willow tree..."

Xiao took a look at Li Zhu, and found that she returned empty-handed, and she was also full of anger.Scolded together with the mother-in-law.

While cursing, she scolded Mrs. Li: "Her aunt is really serious. She knows Ji'er is not in good health, but she doesn't know how to bring something back."

Li Zhu said lightly: "I'm not a sugar rooster, not only do I not pluck a feather, but I also stick some of it back.

Is Li Ji bad?Did he break his leg or can't get out of bed? "

"You damn girl, how dare you curse your brother!"

"You said he was not in good health, why don't I just ask?"

Xiao Shi and Liu Shi stared at Li Zhu, they always felt that something was wrong, how could this girl who was always silent seemed to have changed.

After thinking about it for a while, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought they had found the source.It must have been taught by her aunt.
