Chapter 031: Don’t Live for Others’ Gossip
Li Wenfeng opened the door and the man walked over with a smile and handed him a basket.
“The fourth daughter-in-law asked me to bring this. She said it was the Shanghai sulfur soap she promised to bring to your wife. These two packets of brown sugar and a basket of firewood eggs are from the mother of the fourth daughter-in-law to your wife to nourish her body. Please keep them.”
“Thank you, Brother Yu.” Li Wenfeng smiled and thanked him, took out three firewood eggs from the basket and stuffed them into the other person’s hand.
The man sighed, his face flushed instantly, "What is this for, no no."
"It's for the children, let my sister-in-law stew a bowl of chicken and egg custard for Xiaoshu and Xiaohua."
Li Wenfeng smiled, "It's not something precious, so I'll make Brother Yu go all the way."
"You're welcome, it's just a matter of convenience."
The man smiled honestly, thinking of his two daughters, he didn't refuse again, looking at the extra egg, he happily thought that he could stew one more for his wife.
Watching the man leave, Li Wenfeng returned to the room with the basket.
Fan Qingyi was feeding Xiao Shanhu, and was a little surprised when he saw the things in the basket, "What is this?"
Li Wenfeng said simply.
Fan Qingyi's eyes lit up, "Fourth brother's wife is so nice."
"You like her?" Li Wenfeng also had a smile in his eyes.
Fan Qingyi nodded, "I used to be afraid of contacting people, and I barely spoke to her. Yesterday she came to deliver fabric to Xiao Shanhu, and we chatted for a few words, and then I realized..." As
she spoke, her face suddenly began to heat up, and she was a little embarrassed to say that Fourth Sister-in-law had always praised her for being pretty and good-looking in her heart.
"Huh?" Li Wenfeng looked at her.
Fan Qingyi dodged his gaze awkwardly, "Well... anyway, Fourth Sister-in-law likes me very much, and I like her too."
Li Wenfeng was a little surprised.
Apart from him, this is the first time his wife has said that she likes someone else, right?
Very rare.
"Didn't they come back together?" Otherwise, how could she ask someone to bring something?
Fan Qingyi thought of the incident when Li Laosi beat Liu Feifei, and her eyes were full of worry, "Brother Wenfeng, Fourth Sister-in-law said that yesterday. Did she want to
divorce Laosi..."?
Li Wenfeng shook his head, "It's not that easy. If she wants a divorce, the fourth brother may not agree."
"It's wrong for a man to hit a woman. The fourth brother's wife... is right to be angry."
Fan Qingyi looked at her husband, hesitant to speak.
She wanted to ask Brother Wenfeng to help persuade his brother to be nicer to the fourth brother's wife in the future, but she also felt that if the fourth brother's wife really didn't want to live with the fourth brother, it would not be good for her to interfere in their affairs.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her hesitation, Li Wenfeng squeezed her hand and smiled.
Fan Qingyi sighed and expressed her hesitation.
Li Wenfeng laughed, "It can't be considered as conciliation. Liu Feifei really doesn't want to live with the fourth brother, and nothing the fourth brother does can change her decision. Don't worry, the fourth brother... is too soft-hearted to support his ambition. If he could let go of his boring self-esteem and be a son-in-law peacefully, his life would still be very good. But he is easily instigated and instigated, and if he doesn't change... it's hard to say."
"Ah."
Fan Qing exclaimed, "Then... should we persuade him or not?"
"I'll go talk to the fourth brother and see how he reacts. If he knows how to repent, I'll persuade him. If he doesn't... let's just ignore it." Li Wenfeng suggested.
Fan Qing looked at him, "Then... Fourth sister-in-law, no, Feifei...if they get divorced, people will gossip about her."
"That's better than living with someone you don't like for the rest of your life."
Li Wenfeng tapped his wife's nose and smiled at her, "I've told you so many times, other people have their mouths, let them say whatever they want, people can live for anyone or anything, but never for other people's gossip. Remember?"
Fan Qing nodded, "Remember."
"Don't worry, they don't have children, so there won't be so many things to get involved. If they really want to divorce, it will be the fourth child who was kicked out by the Liu family. Liu Feifei is an only child, and the elders in the family will not let her, a girl, suffer."
Li Wenfeng touched his wife's face, which had never regained its color, and thought that he would just find someone in the village who could cook delicious food and nourish his wife in different ways every day.
"Second brother, it's time to eat."
Li Laosan stood at the door of the second room and knocked gently to call for someone.
Li Wenfeng responded and called his two daughters to go together.
The two did not move.
Li Wenfeng smiled and persuaded, "There is rabbit meat that Dad caught in the mountains, don't you want to eat it? There are also old hens that you have fed for several years, which have been simmered in a clay pot in the earthen pit for most of the day. There are also scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cucumber with selengensis, eggplant with garlic, potato and meat slices, pumpkin and millet porridge, white flour steamed buns..."
He listed them one by one, all of which were delicious things that you can't eat on weekdays.
Li Zhenzhu swallowed her saliva, but still shook her head.
"You can't go, grandma will beat you." Li Liuli lowered her head and said softly.
The smile on Li Wenfeng's face froze, "Dad is here, she won't."
"If you leave, they will beat you." Li Zhenzhu pouted, her eyes were already filled with tears.
Li Wenfeng couldn't bear to see his daughter-in-law and child crying, so he quickly raised his hand to wipe the tears from his daughter's eyes. "Dad will go to the town to buy tickets after dinner. Tomorrow, our family of four will go to Beijing together. Dad won't leave you at home this time."
"Really?"
The two sisters' faces burst into shock and ecstasy at the same time.
"Really." Li Wenfeng raised his hand to swear, "Dad promises."
Fan Qing wanted to say something, but her chest hurt a little. She lowered her eyes and saw her little daughter, who had eaten and drunk enough, spitting out a bubble of milk with a satisfied look on her face.
[Well, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep. ]
She smiled and put the child on the bed, and took a clean diaper and put it on her white belly.
Go to sleep, her child.
"Second brother?"
Seeing that the person had agreed but didn't go out, Li Laosan called again from outside.
Li Wenfeng looked at Fan Qingyi and said, "Wait for me, I'll bring you something to eat."
Fan Qingyi nodded.
Li Wenfeng went out with one of his daughters in one hand.
Li Laosan breathed a sigh of relief when he came out. He could still have dinner with him. It meant that the matter was over and his second brother was no longer angry.
As for him bringing two daughters with him...
I hope his mother can turn a blind eye and stop talking about how a loser has no right to sit at the table and eat.
Under the shade of the tree, there was laughter and joy.
Li Sangchen's partner half hugged Old Lady Li, and they were very intimate.
"Grandma, no wonder Sangchen always says that you love him the most at home. You have a kind face and you can tell that you love children. I also want to be loved by grandma like him, but unfortunately my grandma..." "
Don't be sad, good child. Grandma will love you in the future. When you marry our Sangchen, you will be grandma's granddaughter-in-law. Grandma will love you as her own granddaughter!"
Grandma Li patted the girl's arm happily.
"Hey, Wang Jiajia, you haven't even entered my house yet, and you're already trying to snatch grandma from me..."
The girl glared at him coquettishly, "Grandma is bullying me."
"Bastard, don't say anything about our Jiajia." Grandma Li pretended to pat Li Sangchen lightly.
Li Sangchen complained to old man Li in a weird way. Old man Li smiled with the satisfaction of having his grandchildren around his knees.
Brother Li and sister-in-law Li also smiled.
It looked very lively.
"Mom and Dad, my second brother is here."
Li Laosan walked to sit next to his wife and children. Li Yuanbao glanced at Li Liuli and Li Zhenzhu behind Li Wenfeng and muttered softly, "Why are they here too?"
Li Laosan patted his daughter under the table.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know how to speak. If you can come, why can't they come?"
Li Yuanbao pouted, and was glared at by Li San's wife, and didn't say anything.
Li Wenfeng had sharp ears and heard the interaction between the father and daughter. He didn't say anything, but stood there and looked at the empty seat between the first and third rooms, and smacked his lips.
"Second brother, what are you doing standing there? Come and sit down."
Seeing her son coming, Mrs. Li greeted him with a smile. After she finished speaking, she glanced at his two daughters and her face immediately became ugly.
"Who asked you to come? Go back quickly. You two are paying for food and still want to get on the table..."
