A pleasant life in a courtyard

It's cold and windy outside, but it's warm as spring inside.

After the family finished eating, they were all busy with their own things.

The occasional sound came from Mother Li and Little Brother Li asking each other.

Recently, the steel rolling mill held a literacy class, and Li's mother signed up early.

After graduation, you will be able to obtain a nationally recognized primary school diploma.

For this proof, Mother Li was very concerned about it. No matter whether she was at work or at home, whenever she had free time, she would always take a book and study.

People who are eager to learn are always looked down upon by others.

The idle staff in the purchasing department saw that Mrs. Li was studying so seriously, and they did not hesitate to teach them what they knew.

After all this hard work, Li Xiang even felt that his mother was now better educated than his younger brother Li.

For some math problems, Little Brother Li has to ask Mother Li for advice.

By the time the family was busy with their own affairs, it was almost nine o'clock.

Mother Li began to drive the children to wash up and go to bed.

There are no entertainment projects in the evening to delay time, so everyone has developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

Li Xiang's habit of sleeping in seems unique.

Only idlers and lazy people with nothing to do can develop such problems.

While I was soaking my feet, there was a knock on the door from outside.

Mother Li asked loudly who it was, and Qin Huairu's response sounded outside.

As soon as the door opened, the person standing outside had a lot of snowflakes on his hair, as if he had been standing outside for a while.

"Ouch~ Come in quickly, I didn't even notice it's snowing outside." Mother Li looked at the heavy snowfall and hurriedly welcomed people in.

Qin Huairu put her hands in the sleeves on both sides, and couldn't help but shiver when she entered the room due to the sudden warmth.

Seeing that she was freezing, Mother Li said strangely: "What's the matter? I have to come here so late to tell you."

"I was planning to tell you tomorrow, but I'm a little unsure about this matter. I thought that Li Xiang is at home today and he knows better, so I came here shamelessly." Qin Huairu was a little embarrassed to come to someone else's house so late at night. , it is indeed a bit disturbing.

But she didn't want to talk about it. If she didn't talk about it tonight, she wouldn't be able to sleep.

Hearing his name in the back room, Li Xiang put on his clothes again and came out with his shoes in hand.

When Qin Huairu saw him coming out, she immediately stood up with a look of respect that she didn't realize she had.

Li Xiang raised his hand to let her sit, and he also sat down on the other side, indicating that she could speak.

Qin Huairu didn't waste any time and told mother and son what happened in the afternoon.

"This afternoon, the first uncle came to our house with a bag of stick noodles. Although he didn't say it directly, I heard what he meant and still wanted the two families to be the same as before. If Dongxu had just left, the first uncle said so , I definitely have no ideas, only willingness, but it has been almost two years since Dongxu left, and this sudden appearance makes me a little frightened, and I don’t know whether I should agree or not. My mother-in-law and I have been together until now, I couldn’t make up my mind, so I thought I’d ask Auntie for your opinion.”

Hearing her say this, Mother Li was a little confused.

"Since Juanzi married into our courtyard, I see my eldest mother taking her with her wherever she goes. I'm also wondering if the two of them have reached an agreement with the He family. Why are they turning around and looking for your family now?"

"I don't know about this. In the past two years, my uncle and aunt have been far away from our family. I was prepared not to have any contact with each other. Suddenly I turned back and my heart was pounding." Qin Huairu Frowning, it was obvious that he didn't understand what move the first man and his wife were using.

"Your mother-in-law should be willing. I'm not talking about her behind her back. She has always been very short-sighted." Mother Li glanced at her and guessed.

Qin Huairu shook her head, saying that Mother Li's guess was wrong this time.

"I guess he still remembers the incident about throwing firecrackers and mud last time, so he didn't let up this time."

That was rare. Mother Li nodded in approval.

I'm afraid that the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law may not agree with each other, and one will be obedient and the other will be insubordinate.

It's better for the whole family to work together for this kind of thing.

Mother Li couldn't decide whether to agree or not. She and Qin Huairu turned to look at Li Xiang, wanting to know what he thought.

Li Xiang clicked his tongue a few times.

"You are hedging your bets. You are still wavering at this age."

Qin Huairu groaned, and then realized that they were acting sentimental together, but it turned out they were just prepared.

"If he doesn't make it clear, you guys will just pretend to be confused. If you give me something, you will take it. If you give me something back during the New Year, it will be considered as a courtesy." Li Xiang said nonchalantly.

Qin Huairu may still care about the first uncle's net worth.

After hearing Li Xiang's analysis, he was still not sure about choosing their house. I was relieved but also a little disappointed.

She had a good relationship with Li's mother, and she didn't hide her disappointment, but showed it openly.

On the contrary, mother and son did not look down upon her.

"Everyone knows that I am a wealthy man in this area. It would be a lie to say that I have no ideas." Qin Huairu pretended to pull up the broken hair around her ears to cover up her embarrassment.

"Sister-in-law, your idea is not wrong. If you are interested in the first master's property, why did you hesitate to agree?"

Qin Huairu's words were somewhat contradictory to her previous remarks.

"I'm not going to hide it from you. To be honest, my mother-in-law and I may not necessarily agree on other opinions, but we are very consistent about the First Master. We are both a little afraid of him."

She glanced at the mother and son, who were silent, and spoke out all her feelings about Yi Zhonghai in one fell swoop.

"My uncle said all day long that neighbors should help each other, unite and be friendly. It seems that our family has inherited a lot of his love, but I later realized that he didn't do this because of the long-term friendship between our two families. Yes, no matter who it is, he will do this when he wants to show generosity. In addition, not long after Dongxu left, he started to treat our family coldly, as if he was afraid that we would stick to him. Then the Bangge incident happened again, and it was obviously our family that took advantage of it. Look at his behavior, how could we not feel chilled."

In the final analysis, no matter how arrogant Jia Zhang is, he is still just a paper tiger.

After all, the Jia family is still a family of two widows and three young children.

Normally, it's okay to just show off their face. Everyone looks at them pitifully, so it doesn't matter if they take a step back.

But I'm really in a hurry. If I don't give you face, what can you do?

So last time, the uncle winked at the Jia family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, telling them to settle the matter.

They could only do as they were told.

They are not stupid people. He is the most prestigious person in the courtyard. You can't offend him even if you don't talk about how nice it is to be with him.

But this incident is also a wake-up call for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

It turns out that Yi Zhonghai is not on their side.

Their interests can be sacrificed.

The friendship maintained by Jia Dongxu is like loose sand, falling apart as soon as it blows.
