Quick travel to save a miserable life

Chapter 49 The bride-to-be (7)

Mr. Lin felt that nothing was more important than Lin Hui and the child in his belly right now, but Li Gu and the Li family's parents didn't think so.

Since the last time the Li family's parents went to the Lin Mansion, their request to let Li Gu's cousin Wen Cuicui come into the house to be a nanny was not fulfilled. The old couple did not dare to say anything at that time and returned home in despair.

But when she got home, Mrs. Li kept complaining to Lin Hui in front of the old man, blaming the daughter-in-law for not taking her parents-in-law seriously, otherwise she wouldn't even agree to this little thing.

This was accidentally overheard by Qian, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family. She noticed something was wrong and had the courage to ask her parents-in-law the reason.

The eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Li family knew that Li Gu had contact with Wen Cuicui, a cousin of the Wen family, before their marriage, but they did not know that Li Gu had an affair with the Wen family after their marriage.

Mainly because the eldest son of the Li family, Li Yong, has an honest and dull temperament. He has always worked hard and is not good at talking. Although he is the eldest son, he has not been as valued by his parents as the eloquent Li Gu since he was a child.

When Li Yong got married, his daughter-in-law, Qian, was just like him. She was an honest person who could only do things but not talk. Since she entered the house, Qian had done everything in order in the fields and at home, but she and Li He is brave and does not want to be welcomed by his parents-in-law.

As for the affair between Li Gu and Wen Cuicui, the elder couple of the Li family did not let the eldest son and his wife know about it after they found out. Later, they learned about Li Gu's plan to "replace the old man with the old man." If you object in words or let the news slip by accident, it will ruin the second son's business!

The news that Li Yong and his wife originally knew from their parents-in-law and second brother was that cousin Wen got married before Li Gu got married. As for where she married and who her husband was, their parents-in-law did not elaborate. But why do they hear it again now? The mother-in-law said that she wanted cousin Wen to join the Lin family as a wet nurse. What is going on?

This time Mrs. Li accidentally spilled the beans in front of her eldest daughter-in-law. She couldn't help but cover her mouth with regret. She also shouted sharply at her daughter-in-law who asked, "You must have misunderstood. I never said that. Go and do your business." !”

Mrs. Qian was intimidated by her mother-in-law's majesty and did not dare to ask any more questions, but she told her husband in the evening.

Li Yong is just not good at words, but he is not really stupid. After listening to what his wife relayed, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

This cousin Wen and his second brother have been together for a long time. Outsiders don't know this, but their own family members know it all.

If the second brother hadn't arranged a marriage with the Lin family, he might have gotten married to cousin Wen. When cousin Wen got married in a hurry before the second brother got married, he felt something was wrong. However, he had never been able to make the decision in the family affairs, and his parents would not let him. He was more careful, and since his second brother soon got married to Miss Lin, he forgot about this incident.

But now why does Cousin Wen want to work as a wet nurse in the Lin Mansion again? Considering her previous relationship with her second brother, this is definitely not appropriate. If she and her second brother have something to do with each other, how can she be worthy of her second younger brother and sister?

Li Yong and Qian murmured for a while, but they didn't know much and couldn't find the problem. They just instinctively felt that this matter was inappropriate, but there was nothing they could do.

Li Gu came out of Wang Guanjia's courtyard and went to the small courtyard rented by Wen Cuicui.

It has to be said that Li Gu is really very courageous. The small courtyard where Wen Cuicui is placed is only two streets away from the Lin Mansion. If you don't take a carriage and walk through it on a small road, it won't take more than a quarter of an hour.

Sometimes after Lin Hui took a nap, he would quietly go there alone, stay for an hour, and then go back quietly. At that time, Lin Hui had not woken up and was almost unaware of the ghost.

Li Gu still walked over this time, thinking about what Butler Wang had just said as he walked.

Butler Wang is right. Lin Hui's belly is so big. She can't wait any longer. Even if she has to sign a deed of betrayal, she still has to bring her cousin into the house. In the future, the Lin family's father and daughter will be gone, and he will be the head of the Lin family. , isn’t it easy to sell your cousin a slave?

Li Gu also said this to Wen Cuicui. Wen Cuicui really didn't want to sign it. She was a good citizen. Once she signed the deed of sale, she would become his slave. Life and death were in the hands of the master. How could she sign it? !

But looking at her swollen belly, since she is pregnant with her cousin's child and plans to give birth to it, she can't keep letting the child become a nameless illegitimate child. If her cousin's plan succeeds, then her child In the future, she will be the young master of the Lin family. She will inherit the Lin family's business and become the wife of a rich family, and enjoy the blessings along the way.

Wen Cuicui was dazzled by the bright prospects described by Li Gu, and agreed to sell herself to the Lin Mansion. At the same time, she did not forget to warn Li Gu that she had sacrificed herself for the future of her family of three. If he dared to betray her in the future, he would definitely be punished. He looks good!

Li Gulian said he didn't dare, so he sent Wen Cuicui some sweet words, which soon made her smile again.

After appeasing Cousin Wen, Li Gu hurried to Li's house. His parents had to intervene before his cousin could enter the house.

The Li family is only a slightly wealthy farmer with more than ten acres of land. The autumn harvest is about to begin. The eldest son and his wife of the Li family have gone to the fields, leaving only the old couple at home.

To be honest, since the eldest son reached the age of fourteen or fifteen, he has been asked to do a lot of work, and the old couple has become much more relaxed.

When the eldest daughter-in-law came in and could work in the fields together, Mrs. Li stopped going to the fields at all. She mostly cooked at home when the farm was busy, but she still let Qian do a lot of work on weekdays. According to her words: "After many years of being a daughter-in-law, As a mother-in-law, I will also enjoy the blessing of a daughter-in-law!"

The Li family has four main houses and two side houses on the east and west sides. There are eight houses in total, all of which are made of bricks and tiles.

The four side houses were built by the brothers when they were young, and the four main houses were originally adobe houses. They were renovated into spacious brick houses before Li Gucheng got married the year before last. The money for the renovation was the "betrothal gift" given by the Lin family. Creampie.

When Li Gu entered the house, Mrs. Li was eating melon seeds and chatting with a neighbor's woman in the yard. When she saw her son coming back, she immediately greeted her. She took Li Gu's hand and asked if it was warm. After a while, she asked if it was warm, and then asked Thirst or not.

Old Man Li came out of the house when he heard the commotion, interrupted Mrs. Li's attentive greetings, and welcomed his son into the house.

Upon seeing this, the neighbor's mother-in-law hurriedly left, leaving the Li family with only this family of three.

Li Gu originally brought a boy carrying things with him when he went to see Butler Wang, but the things he had to do next were too important, so he sent the boy back to the Lin Mansion and traveled alone.

Li Gu told his parents that his cousin had agreed to sell himself into the Lin Mansion, and asked the two elders to go to the Lin Mansion again tomorrow to explain the matter to Lin Hui.

The two elders of the Li family still find it hard to believe that Cuicui, a girl who has always been very high-spirited, why did she agree to be sold into slavery?

Li Gu was impatient and explained too much to the old couple. He said that it was getting late and he would go back to the Lin Mansion to have dinner with the Lin family father and daughter. He told the two old men to take Cuicui to the Lin Mansion early tomorrow.

Li Gu hurriedly hurried, and it was getting dark when he returned to the Lin Mansion. Even Mr. Lin had returned to the house. He couldn't help but apologize to Lin Hui and Mr. Lin, saying that he was late when he went home to visit his parents.

When he heard that he had returned to Li's house to visit his parents, Mr. Lin couldn't say anything more, and Lin Hui didn't even care.

After dinner, the night got darker, and the three of them went back to their rooms to rest. Little did they know that a good show was about to begin!
