Siheyuan: How many worlds does the system integrate?

Chapter 152: Acknowledging Xiangxiu as Aunt

Li Xuewu looked at the old man who closed his eyes and remained silent.

He turned to look at Li Xiangxiu and asked with his mouth open, "What's wrong with you, old man?"

Li Xiangxiu pulled him aside and said, "It's all because of the troubles at his home. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, those people came over here, ostensibly to wish the old man a happy new year, but in fact they were just after the few items and money he had left!"

"Didn't the old man make a will and donate all his things to the museum?"

"Yes, he donated them all. He still has a few of his favorite things left, and there are also savings. Isn't it that those ungrateful people are eyeing them again! Now that they have no money to spend, they are starting to covet the little pension money in the old man's hand! I don't see them coming to visit him normally. They are all a bunch of ungrateful people!"

Bai Jingqi glared at him fiercely: "The one you raised is an ungrateful wolf. He raised him up so much and let him get along with you. But he still ran away. Humph, he is a fucking ungrateful wolf. I will throw all my things away instead of giving them to him!"

Li Xiang stomped her feet gracefully and said, "Bai Jingqi, just be Hu Qin!" Then she wiped away her tears.

"Okay, okay, I didn't mean it. I was just so angry that I blurted it out!" Seeing his wife crying, the old man realized that he had said the wrong thing and tried to smooth things over.

"Grandpa didn't mean it. Stop crying and sit down! I'll wish you a happy new year!"

As he spoke, Li Xuewu helped Li Xiangxiu to sit next to Bai Jingqi, then walked to the opposite side of the two of them and knelt on the ground in a proper manner: "Grandpa, Auntie, I wish you a happy new year!"

"Hey, okay, okay, look, look at Xiangxiu. I told you, this kid has more conscience than those bastards!" Bai Jingqi pointed at Li Xuewu who was kneeling on the ground and turned to his wife and said.

Just as Li Xuewu was about to stand up, Bai Jingqi stopped him: "Don't stand up, come and kneel in front of my wife!"

What is this for? Li Xuewu was a little confused, but he still moved to the side according to the old man's instructions and knelt in front of Li Xiangxiu.

"Grandson, my health is getting worse day by day, and my mind is sometimes clear and sometimes confused. The only person I can't let go of in this life is Xiangxiu. I have observed you in the past two years. Since your surname is Li and Xiangxiu's surname is also Li, you were a family five hundred years ago. I want you and Xiangxiu to recognize each other as relatives. Are you willing?" Bai Jingqi sat up from the recliner, leaned forward and stared at Li Xuewu.

A glimmer of hope also appeared in Li Xiangxiu's eyes.

Li Xuewu didn't even think twice and kowtowed to Li Xiangxiu. "You can't write two Li characters with one stroke. I have long regarded you and the old man as my elders. I was embarrassed to mention it before, fearing that the old man would say that I was coveting his treasure. Now it's good that he brought it up himself. From today on, you are my real aunt!"

"What are you still standing there for? Agree quickly. I told you that this guy would definitely agree!" Bai Jingqi reached out and poked Li Xiangxiu beside him.

"Oh, good boy, get up quickly, I'm just so happy!" Li Xiangxiu quickly got up and helped Li Xuewu up.

After helping Li Xuewu stand up and sit down beside him, Li Xiangxiu came into the room and took out a small bag. She took out a jade pendant from the bag and handed it to Li Xuewu: "A gentleman is like jade, so I will give you a jade pendant!"

"No, no, no, I'm not taking it for your things! I really want to recognize you!" Li Xuewu quickly stood up and refused.

"Take it. There must be a gift for recognizing a relative!" Li Xiangxiu forcefully stuffed the jade pendant into his hand.

As soon as you pick up this jade pendant, you know it is no ordinary item. It feels delicate to the touch and cool and smooth in the hand.

"Then I won't be polite, thank you, auntie!"

Bai Jingqi smiled as he looked at the two of them. "Boy, what I'm most worried about is that after I die, Xiangxiu will be left alone. You have to promise me to take care of her until the end of her life. Can you do it?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you!" Li Xuewu nodded solemnly.

"Okay, Xiangxiu, hurry up and have someone prepare a banquet. Let's have a good drink today. We can't leave today to learn martial arts. Let's get drunk!"

"Okay, then I'll obey your orders! I'll have a drink with you two elders!"

The food and the cook were ready, and a table full of delicious food and wine was quickly prepared. The three of them sat around the table, and the old man even took out some good wine that he had collected for many years.

Even though the old man is over 90 years old, his alcohol tolerance is not bad at all. A jar of Maotai weighs 7 or 8 kilograms, and the three of them drank it all to the bottom. Bai Jingqi drank at least 1 kilogram, and Li Xiangxiu was even more ferocious, starting with 2 kilograms.

His face didn't even change after he drank two kilograms of liquor, but Li Xuewu passed out after drinking two kilograms of liquor.

"Someone, help Xuewu to the east wing to rest!" Li Xiangxiu said to the outside, and soon two cooks came in, carried Li Xuewu to the east wing.

Then he walked up to the little girl standing at the door and said, "Xiaohong, are you sure you've thought about what I told you before?"

"Ma'am, I've made up my mind!"

"Okay, go ahead. As long as you give birth to a grandson for my Li family, I will take care of you and your family from now on!"

"Thank you, madam!"

Xiaohong turned around and went out, running straight to the east wing.

"You think I won't be angry when I wake up tomorrow after learning martial arts?" Li Xiangxiu asked with some uneasiness in her heart.

"Keep your heart to yourself. I've never seen a man who would be angry after getting a wife for free! He will thank you so much tomorrow!" Bai Jingqi didn't care at all.

"Then I'll be relieved. It would be great if Xiaohong could get pregnant and give me a grandson!"

In the middle of the night, Li Xuewu woke up and felt extremely thirsty. He threw off the quilt and got out of bed to find some water.

"Do you want some water?" A voice suddenly came up, scaring Li Xuewu so much that he shivered.

"who!"

"It's me, Xiao Hong!"

Li Xuewu reached out to turn on the bedside lamp and saw Xiaohong wearing only a bellyband, sitting timidly on the bed.

"You, you, you, why are you in my bed? I didn't do anything to you, did I?"

Xiao Hong's face was so shy that water could drip down her cheeks: "No, you were drunk and sleeping all the time!"

"Did I drag you to bed? I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" Li Xuewu thought he had acted too drunk and started looking for clothes in a panic.

"No, no, it was arranged by my wife!" Then he said in a low voice: "I volunteered too!"

"What? What's going on? Tell me!"

From Xiaohong's shy narration, Li Xuewu learned the reason of the matter. It turned out that Li Xiangxiu was still worried about her future retirement and was afraid that she would have no security. In addition, Xiaohong's family had been working in the Bai family since her great-grandfather's generation, and she had also been working in this family since she was a child.

Although the world has changed now, their family still works for the Bai family. If they leave the Bai family, they will have no way to survive without a house or land. So Li Xiangxiu used a house and her family's future life to let Xiaohong give birth to a child.

If it were someone else, Xiaohong might not agree, but the person was Li Xuewu, so it was different. She also knew what Li Xuewu did. If she followed him, not only could she get what his wife promised, but her brothers at home might also be able to find a good job.

Of course Xiaohong did not tell Li Xuewu about this little idea. She just told him about Li Xiangxiu's arrangement, expressed that she was willing, and then stood up and threw herself into Li Xuewu's arms.
