Chapter 634: Almost fooled by her
Aunt Wang rolled her eyes in her heart and cursed secretly, what a loser!
She hasn't even married yet, and she's already thinking about dowry?
But she still smiled and coughed, "Ping'er, the Jiang family's business is so big, even if you bring all our assets, they may not be interested."
"Actually, you don't need too much dowry, it mainly depends on whether the eldest brother of the Jiang family likes you."
Aunt Wang squeezed her eyes and comforted Li Qingping to rest while she didn't react.
When they left Ziwu Courtyard, the fat woman brought a plate of snacks and went to the front yard to find Li Hutu.
She was a woman in the back house. If she wanted to make this marriage, it was not enough to rely on calculations behind the scenes, but still had to rely on the old man to come forward.
However, Li Hutu was determined not to agree at first.
So, Aunt Wang rolled her eyes and had already prepared another set of words, forcing him to agree.
At this moment, Li Hutu was writing furiously in the study, and Aunt Wang deliberately stepped forward and sighed.
"Alas, Ping'er, that child..."
Normally, Li Hutu would not even raise his head.
But when he heard that it was related to his daughter, he immediately stopped writing and hurriedly said, "Ping'er? What's wrong with her? She has no appetite again?"
Aunt Wang covered it up casually, "It's okay to eat less. She has been getting hotter recently. Not to mention that she is a little girl, even I, an old glutton, have lost some appetite."
Li Hutu glanced at her waist that had become fatter, and immediately sighed and nodded.
"Old glutton... You have been in this family for twenty years, and this is the most self-aware you have ever been."
A person who can eat three large pork elbows for one meal and have two bowls of meat soup to soak the rice is definitely an old glutton.
Aunt Wang thought it was a compliment and smiled shyly, but then quickly pretended to be hesitant.
"Master, let's talk about Ping'er, please be serious~"
She came over and rubbed Li Hutu's shoulders, and sighed again, "Alas, I just heard from Ma Po that our Ping'er was touched on the arm... and waist by a man when she went out on the street today..."
"What?" Li Hutu screamed and stood up, "How could this happen, where is Ping'er, let me go see her!"
Aunt Wang saw that he was hooked, and deliberately stopped him, scolding, "You careless man, Ping'er is embarrassed in her own courtyard, how can you, as a father, go and ask at this time."
Li Hutu could only suppress his anxiety and was very angry, "What the hell is going on, where did this man come from, so clumsy, he really should be reported to the government!"
Aunt Wang sighed, "Alas, we can't afford to offend that man."
"He is the eldest master of the Jiang family!" She raised her voice again.
What?
Li Hutu was extremely surprised.
So, that person is Jiang Fengnian?
"You are not talking nonsense." He widened his eyes, a little bit unbelieving, "The eldest master of the Jiang family is tall, often wears green jade and blue robes, but he is a respectable man, you really didn't see it wrong?"
Aunt Wang was prepared and called Ma Pozi over.
"Yes, master." Ma Pozi nodded hurriedly, "Not only this servant, but everyone in the teahouse knows it's him, because he also introduced himself at the time, saying that he was the eldest brother of the uncle, and he wore a blue robe."
Li Hutu leaned back, his head suddenly buzzing, almost into a ball of paste.
His daughter was taken advantage of, and that person was the eldest brother of the princess... How... How could this happen?
Aunt Wang knew that the lie would not last long, so she struck while the iron was hot, "Master, our Ping'er is feeling uncomfortable in the room, we can't just let this go."
"It's just that the Jiang family is powerful, so we can't pursue anything. But our Ping'er is also of marriageable age. If that Master Jiang really likes her and is willing to marry her, it can be considered as a compensation for Ping'er." She put her face close to him and urged.
Li Hutu's head hurt even more.
But didn't Jiang Fengnian already have a wife? Could it be that this man wanted to divorce his wife and remarry just because his family was doing well?
That would be too immoral.
Li Hutu worked hard for half his life, but he couldn't handle the officialdom and court, and his childhood sweetheart died early.
So his daughter was his only hope. Although he was usually timid and fearful, for Li Qingping, he was not going to be a coward this time.
"I can bear grievances, but my Ping'er can't," Li Hutu frowned and finally sighed, "I'll go to the Jiang family in the evening."
Aunt Wang was overjoyed to see this.
In her opinion, her father was still a young master, and Ping'er was a little pretty. Even if Jiang Fengnian was wronged, he could give her a young daughter-in-law for free. Any man would definitely take advantage of the situation...
...
Soon, dusk was approaching and the sky was filled with rosy clouds. The setting
sun made the yard particularly warm. Xiao Nuobao was playing with Chun Ge'er, and Feng Jing and Feng Miao took turns to carry him on their backs.
Laughter spread throughout the yard, and Madam Zheng and the others sat aside, watching with a smile.
At this time, Li Hutu came to the Jiang family.
When Feng heard the servant's message, she was quite surprised, "Master Li is here, but it's already this late?"
Xiao Nuobao also jumped off her fourth brother's thin back and ran over with her pigtails swinging, "Master, Master, we had classes in the morning, why are you here now~"
But as soon as she said this, she was afraid and stepped back, "Wait, you are not here to do extra homework..."
On weekdays, Li Hutu's homework would always be two pages long. In the afternoon, her little wrist was sore from writing, and she could only finish it. She really had to be afraid.
When this was said, Feng Jing and Feng Miao huddled together and laughed, like two crooked-headed swans, knowing very well that their sister "hated" homework.
Li Hutu was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help laughing and said, "Princess, I just came to see your mother for something, but if you want to write more, I won't stop you, or I will arrange some more for you now?"
Little Nuobao was so scared that he waved his chubby hands, then grabbed his brother and nephews and ran away like a desperate man!
Li Hutu looked at her silly look while running away, and laughed twice, but he became more entangled.
The little princess is so cute.
The Jiang family treated him politely and attentively.
Would such a family really make such a scene of touching and touching in public?
Besides, he hadn't asked Ping'er yet. If there was another misunderstanding, wouldn't it be inappropriate for him to speak to the Jiang family?
While he was struggling, Nanny Zheng came forward and led him to the living room.
Feng prepared hot tea, stood up and said, "I wonder what Lord Li wants. It looks like it's not about Nuobao?"
Li Hutu came back to his senses and waved his hands in panic, "No, no, I'm not here for the princess's studies, but... but..."
He was a little stuck and didn't know how to start. At this moment, Jiang Fengnian was holding a large bowl, blowing hot air while walking past the door.
Li Hutu's expression was even more complicated, and he stared at Jiang Fengnian.
"Boss." Feng noticed his gaze and called out, "Lord Li has come into the mansion, come and meet him."
Jiang Fengnian blew on the bowl twice, and immediately a fragrance came into the hall.
He turned around and smiled, "It turned out that the young master is here. I was just looking at the oil tea noodles and didn't notice you."
Jiang Fengnian smiled and explained, "Mom, my wife has been clamoring to drink this, so I blew it to make it less hot. I will send it to her first, and then come to accompany you and Lord Li to talk."
Li Hutu was stunned, "My wife wants to eat? Master Jiang is personally sending it to her?"
He had seen the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. She was not good-looking, and even had a These stupid women...
But Jiang Fengnian was willing to personally brew and cool even such a cheap thing as oil tea noodles. This kind of thoughtfulness is hard to do for anyone who marries a beautiful woman...
Just when he was stunned, Feng said, "My eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant. Life was not easy for the family before, so she is particularly greedy now. Fortunately, my eldest daughter is also willing to serve, and she is always there for her when there is something."
Li Hutu suppressed his surprise and couldn't help but test.
"In fact, with your family's current status, it is a great favor to treat your wife well, but if you don't like her and want to abandon her... no one will say anything."
Jiang Fengnian just came back and interrupted as soon as he heard it.
"Lord Li, what you said is wrong. Friends in poverty should not be forgotten, and a wife who has shared the hardships of life should not be divorced. This is the basic principle of being a human being!"
He walked into the room with a righteous spirit, shaking his head and frowning, "The more successful a person is, the more he should not treat his wife badly. My wife has accompanied me through so many hardships that I can't count them all. If I abandon her casually because I am rich now, then even I will look down on myself!"
Feng was relieved to hear these words.
She also nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Li, although my family is not a family of scholars, we cannot ignore the family tradition. Things like abandoning a wife and children are absolutely not allowed in my family. Otherwise, let alone them, even I, as a mother, will be the first to disagree!"
Li Hutu's eyes widened.
But immediately, he felt admiration!
How many people bring their sons to Beijing, and abandon their old wives after they gain fame.
The Jiang family is now extremely wealthy, but they still remember their roots. This is really rare.
Li Hutu couldn't help feeling ashamed, and quickly swallowed back the words he was about to say.
People have said so, if he mentions his daughter again, wouldn't it be humiliating himself.
After that, he casually asked a few questions about buying land, and only said that his family had taken a fancy to a piece of small land, and was afraid of being cheated, so he came here to inquire about the price of the land, and then perfunctorily passed on the reason for coming here today.
When it was time to leave, Fengnian came out to see him off. Li Hutu thought of Ping'er again, and couldn't help asking more questions.
"By the way, Master Jiang, I passed by the military camp this afternoon and saw a man who looked quite like you. Have you been there today?" He tilted his head slightly.
Jiang Fengnian replied generously, "Yes, I went to see my third son to do some business."
Li Hutu hesitated, ah... it seems that he has really been there.
At this moment, Xiao Nuobao came over with a smile, "Not only have I been there, big brother also helped a firewood seller there, and helped a wrestling girl, and did a lot of good things."
Li Hutu was stunned.
What, it turns out that Ping'er was helped after wrestling, and she was not touched at
all! He was immediately furious, and was glad that he did not speak rashly. After saying goodbye, he hurried home to settle the accounts!
Soon, the dinner smelled fragrant, and accompanied by a burst of laughter, the Jiang family sat together and ate happily.
Xiao Nuobao was holding the red-roasted pork elbow, chewing it with a fragrant smell, but he didn't know that he had just helped to resolve the misunderstanding of his eldest brother.
At the same time, in the Li family's house, Aunt Wang was in trouble and was scolded...
...
In a flash, two days passed, and Xiao Pangya finally had a day off again, and took Feng to play on the farm.
In Xiaoliu Village, the house that everyone built for the Jiang family had already laid the foundation and the beams and pillars were also installed.
Looking at the stone bricks and red soil laid everywhere, Xiao Nuobao exclaimed and began to imagine the days of staying in Xiaoliu Village in the future.
When the time comes, their whole family will come!
Wait for Daddy and Ali to come back, and call them together.
The village chief, Grandpa Li, and Sister Cuicui were all there. It was just as joyful as before in the village.
Little Nuobao had been learning so much these days that he longed for the days in the village. He stamped his feet excitedly and ran around the foundation.
Dawen and Xiaowu wiped their sweat, their faces were tanned, but their smiles were brighter. "The little princess is here?"
"Welcome the princess to supervise the work, we will definitely do a good job!"
When the house was built, the little fat girl had already thought about it.
She wanted to build a beautiful garden and a small hot spring. Oh, and the playground that her father had built for her before must also be arranged!
Seeing Xiao Nuobao laughing with his hands on his hips, Feng shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Look at this fat girl, I wonder what she is thinking about."
In addition to the Jiang family's mansion, the people of Beihe County have also started to live their lives.
They have completely integrated into the village. In front of every household, salted fish and dried radishes are drying.
The adults sit on small ponies and chat about trivial matters.
The children gather together by the river, skipping stones with a handful of stones, and the splashes of water splash all over the village chief. He can only hold up the smoke pot and chase them one by one to beat them.
But of course, this firecracker fight would not really go on.
After catching up with one or two lame boys, the village chief put away the firecracker fight, took out two pieces of winter melon candy from his pocket, and patted the children to let them have a sweet mouth.
Just at this time, Doctor Wu made another prosthesis, and everyone rushed over with joy.
Old Li smiled at his craftsmanship, "Oh, look at your prosthetic arm, you are getting more and more skilled. Make one for Wencai in our village in the future. It happens that he has no arm either."
Doctor Wu waved his hand, "I thought about Wencai a long time ago. He is still growing up. Making a prosthesis now may affect his growth. Wait until he is two or three years older."
Little Nuobao listened silently.
His eyes were smiling.
At this time, Jiang Fenghu came running over with a letter in his hand.
"Mom, there is another letter from Daliushan Village. It must be Yin'er who asked Wencai or Dean Wei to help write it!" He ran so hard that his face turned red.
Feng and the others were all amused, "You really can't help but talk about it. You just mentioned Wencai, and now you mention the letter."
She opened the letter, thinking it was just another ordinary letter of safety, and asked Fengjing to read it.
But when Fengjing took the letter and glanced at it, his little face changed color.
"How could it be like this..."
