But until December 6, Li was still not ready.

Li was so nervous that she held onto Zhao and Wang and refused to let go:

"Oh my god! Why are there so many old people at my birthday party? I don't know any of them.

Third sister-in-law, can you go for me? I don’t know what to say wherever I go!

If no one pays attention to me anymore, I don’t know what to say. Can I be the one with the lowest status among those ladies?

That's for sure! Third sister-in-law...if it doesn't work, then fourth sister-in-law...Oh no, don't leave!"

Li is the least talkative among the daughters-in-law in the family, while Zhao is the most talkative.

After going through all these things, Wang became the daughter-in-law who seemed the most innocent and listless, but was actually the best at acting.

However, the family had a good relationship, so apart from acting with her sisters-in-law to persuade old Madam Yang, she never used this skill again.

When they heard what Li said, they wanted to run away, but were pulled back.

Zhao said disdainfully, "I'm not saying anything to you, sister-in-law. Don't just try too hard. Are you confused by the smoke from the kitchen in the wine shop? How can you be replaced?"

Li: "Why not? They don't know who is who!"

Wang frowned and touched Li's head: "This isn't a fever? How come it turned into Yuan?"

Li pulled her hand away and said:

"That's why I'm scared! You said I'll be alone at that time, what will I do?"

Zhao: "Brother can't stay with you, but we still have Yuan!"

A Yuan reminded from the side:

"I'm not there. The adults and children are not together. People our age are in another place."

Wang looked at her in confusion: "Yuan, are you so brave? You're not afraid of this?"

A Yuan: "Don't be afraid. Sister A Ru told Xiao Zhi to wait for me at the door. I can just go find her when I get there."

Li wailed, "Why am I so miserable? I don't even know anyone!"

Yuan patted her sympathetically.

The old man outside the window shouted unhappily:

"A Yuan? Are you going to leave?"

"Let's go! I'll be right there!"

Yuan's sympathy disappeared in an instant. She put on her small bag containing money and started to leave.

Li grabbed her and asked, "Where are you going?"

Yuan: "Let's go see Sister Li! I told you yesterday that Grandpa will take me there."

Li was even more upset. She pointed at Yuan and her two sisters-in-law and complained, "Why does she have so many friends?"

Yuan stood there confused, not understanding what was going on.

Zhao knew what was going on and patted Yuan on the shoulder, signaling her to leave quickly: "It's okay, just go on your way, your mother is so scared that she's already stupid!"

Based on her many years of experience as sisters-in-law, Zhao knew that Li was usually a normal person. She was not afraid of problems encountered by the whole family, but once she encountered something alone, she would be at a loss. At this time, it was best not to provoke her.

A Yuan shrank his neck and ran away quickly.

Li was already so irritated that she started to grumble: "I don't even have as many friends as a child."

Zhao advised helplessly: "Think positively, who can have as many friends as she does?"

As we were talking, Niu Wa, who was also on break, ran in with a bundle and handed it to the adults:

"A maid named Xiaozhi came to the door to bring clothes to Second Sister. She said that it was sent by her young lady and asked Second Sister to wear it when she goes there tomorrow."

Li opened the bundle and looked at the luxurious dress inside, and she became even sadder:

"I will be the worst dressed lady among all the ladies tomorrow, even worse than those little kids!

Will they use my job in the kitchen of a liquor store to smear me?"

Zhao: ...

Wang: ...

Who wouldn't be nervous? Fortunately it wasn't them!

Zhao said one thing and meant another: "Probably... not."

Wang lied a little: "No one should be so boring."

Old Yang couldn't stand what she heard:

"Okay, everyone knows that my family background is not good, so why would anyone say this unless they are deliberately looking for trouble?

Even if we are going to talk about normal gossip, we have to avoid you. Just pretend you can't hear it. Come back and close the door, and we will join you in scolding her.

If we become powerful and influential and someone says something bad about us, we will talk them back one by one.

But if you can’t get up, just ignore what people say and don’t take it to heart.”

Having said that, Li still asked:

"Mom, do you think someone would deliberately pick a fight?"

Old Yang: "Tsk... our family seems to be related to others, this is inevitable..."

"Stop talking!" Li hurriedly stopped him, "I'd better... go find a place to hide for a while!"

Zhao and Wang quickly caught up with her, trying to persuade her as they walked.

Li and Zhao both took leave and stayed at home these days. The three sisters-in-law worked together to sew clothes for Li and Fu Dabai to wear.

Zhao saw all the styles in cloth shops and also visited many silk and satin shops.

I am also planning to use the money at home for business, as shops in the capital are expensive.

What's more, there is a total of five hundred taels, and one hundred taels is used to offer a reward for finding Xiao Yang and Fubao. Even if Fu Dabai and Fu Sanbai can bring back some silver from time to time, it is not much.

I also bought a piece of expensive jade as a gift.

In the spirit of saving as much as possible, I did not buy the expensive ready-made clothes, but bought the material and made them myself.

It's not difficult, but I'm afraid of making mistakes so I'm doing it slowly. I just need to finish the edges.

They had originally made a set for A Yuan, but now the young lady of the Zhao family had sent the clothes and specifically asked him to wear them, so the ones they made were no longer needed.

As Li folded Yuan's clothes and put them away, she said:

"Why does this all feel like a dream? It's as if I've suddenly become a lady, and I have to dress up like a decent person to celebrate the birthday of an old lady.

In the past, people would not even dare to think of giving away a piece of jade worth dozens of taels just to make a good impression.

If I say or do something wrong and people look down on our family, we will suffer a huge loss!"

The more Li thought about it, the more panicked he became.

Zhao said nonchalantly, “What are you afraid of? You already said it, this is just like a dream.

It comes like a dream, and when it is gone, just think of it as waking up from a dream. If it goes wrong, just think of it as a nightmare. What is there to be afraid of?"

Wang also comforted him: "The family has been through so many ups and downs, why are you scared now? It's not a life-threatening matter. What's so scary about going to a birthday party and having a meal and making friends?"

"If you go alone, it's the same as if the three of us went together. Tell us about it in detail when you come back so that we can broaden our horizons!

Let us also know what the wives of high-ranking officials look like! Are they all wearing gold and silver? ! "

Zhao patted her hands and comforted her with the tenderness she had finally found.

Li wiped her eyes and burst into laughter:

"I'll tell you guys when I get back after I've seen it! I'll show it off to you guys!"

Zhao said to Wang, "Look at our Madam Li. She's already shaking before she even sees anything!"

Li snorted, "Wait until I see it, and then I'll make you jealous!"

The three sisters-in-law chatted and laughed, barely suppressing Li's fear.

Yuan, who had finally gotten a look at Sister Li, began to feel scared.

Sister Li pinched, rubbed, hugged and kneaded her.

A Yuan reached out and grabbed his grandfather.

But Lao Futou put his hands behind his back and turned away unrighteously:

"Yes! Now that I'm here, I'll go see Mr. Chen."

Yuan was squeezed into a little fat chicken!

"Sister Li, this is not good! It's very bad!" Yuan tried to persuade her vaguely, "People need to learn to let go!"

Li Tian kissed her several times and said perfunctorily:

"I'm learning, I'm learning. After such a long time, Yuan has become more and more adorable. Come on, let your sister rub him!"

Ah Yuan wanted to cry but had no tears: "You tortured me and you still told me to be good? Sister Li, you have changed. You have become so scary!"

Li Tian smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I just love Yuan too much.

Yuan is my sister's little lucky treasure!"

Yuan: ???

Even if you are Sister Li, you can't insult me ​​like this!

Yuan was unhappy: "I don't like being a lucky guy!"

Li Tian had almost forgotten everything about the second branch of the Lao Fu family. She only remembered that she had a stupid second aunt who ran away with a daughter she picked up, and a second uncle who went crazy and no one knew where he ran off to. She didn't even remember their names.

I thought she was being bullied too much, so I let her go and said to her:

"Okay, okay, let's stop playing with our little Yuan. Sister Li will treat Yuan to some snacks, okay?"

Yuan was instantly happy: "Okay~!"

Li Tian brought Yuan into the kitchen and handed her a plate of snacks. Yuan looked at the snacks from all angles and saw:

"Wedding cakes? Is anyone getting married?"

Li Tian sat aside shyly and said, "Yes, I'm getting married."

Yuan almost spit out the snacks. His brain was stuck and he asked stupidly:

"With whom?"

There was no such person more than a month ago!
