My Whole Family's Setting Collapsed

After Gu Xin recovered from a serious illness, she discovered that her whole family had changed.

Her father, who was a gambling addict and nearly sold his wife and daughter, said he would nev...

Chapter 386 Madam Li's Parents Are Reliable

Madam Li was quick to act; by the 20th of the first lunar month, she began bringing various jars and boxes to Sanchakou Village.

The villagers started gossiping about the second wife of the Gu family again.

Spring planting has already begun, and the second wife's family still wants to do business? What will they eat this year if they don't farm?

Are they still selling vegetables? Or something else?

Apart from Zhang, who loved to gossip and chat, the rest of the Gu family didn't really like to talk about other people's business. Plus, they were all busy, so no one came to ask them anything.

Every time Madam Li came, she would bring a cart full of things, and every time she came, she would ask her stupid son, whom she had raised in bed, if he wanted to come and see Aunt Cai as well.

Li Muyan became withdrawn.

The last time he sneaked out to find the girl who had stamped his name, he was unlucky enough to get his foot stepped on by his own horse. It didn't break, but he still had to lie in bed for a month to recover.

At this point, his mother still wanted him to see Aunt Cai. Unless it was a girl who had given him her official seal, he wouldn't see anyone else!

By the 28th day of the first lunar month, all the finished products were ready.

Gu Nian and Lu Zheng had finished planting sweet potatoes and corn, and she also had time to look at the various boxes that Madam Li had sent over.

"Wow, isn't it a bit extravagant to use this to store toothbrushes?" Gu Nian exclaimed in surprise, looking at the thousands of different boxes piled up in the warehouse.

The boxes come in various forms: some are ordinary wooden boxes with just a lacquer finish, others are wooden boxes wrapped in brocade, and still others are inlaid with gold thread.

The boxes are patterned and look very pretty. Each box also has words on the lower left: "Your heartfelt wishes, my longings." This Mrs. Li used the names of her two sisters. Upon closer inspection, there are also words like "beautiful and intelligent" and "longing for each other day and night." These are the names Huihui and Sisi!

Thinking about how her cheap toothbrush from her past life was now packaged like this, Gu Nian didn't know what to say.

“This is nothing. Look at this toothpaste container and this shampoo container.” Cai Xiaolian pointed to the side.

"Wow! What a beautiful jar! You can use it to store small things after you're done using it! Or you can just wash it and use it as a decoration!" Gu Nian exclaimed in surprise.

Cai Xiaolian then pointed to the words on it.

Seeing an object evokes memories of a loved one; red beans symbolize longing; cultivating both blessings and wisdom; a clever and insightful mind; unforgettable; an eternal thought; yearning; hearts in perfect harmony...

"Pfft!" Seeing the heart-shaped inscription, Gu Nian couldn't help but laugh. "Mom, now that we've made toilet paper, you can have Madam Li use the heart-shaped inscription!"

"She had her maid, Da Huang, find all sorts of words related to Hui Nian Xin Si. She even complained to me, 'Why did you name Xin Xin with the grass radical? It would be so much better without it!'" Cai Xiaolian said helplessly.

"Hahahaha... This Mrs. Li is really interesting. Big Yellow, hahaha, I really want to know what her Big Yellow is thinking!" Gu Nian laughed.

Cai Xiaolian sighed, rubbing her forehead. She had seen all the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Madam Li always brought two maids with her. The four in front were her dowry maids, around twenty years old, and the three behind were young maids. They all looked quite pretty, but their names... were truly indescribable!

“Not only is it on this, but it’s also on the soap box and soap dish. I said let’s come up with a name for it! Mrs. Li said, ‘Great! How about ‘Huixin Si Nian’? Oh my, I don’t even know what to say!’” Cai Xiaolian pointed to the soap box and soap dish next to her.

"Mom, do you know what Madam Li and her son's names are? I really want to know!" Gu Nian asked curiously.

"Madam Li's surname is Luo, and her given name is Yusheng. Luo Yusheng, the sheng in shengxiao, not the twelve zodiac animals, but the sheng that is played. As for her son, well, every time she mentions him, she just says 'my silly son,' 'my stupid son,' 'my simpleton,' which has made me think of her son as a naive and innocent person." Cai Xiaolian sighed.

"Hahaha... But Madam Li's parents are still reliable. Luo Yusheng, it's a nice name." Gu Nian couldn't help but laugh again.
