Chapter 535 Why is it different from what I imagined?
When Xiao Lai Fu ran into the stationery factory canteen to inform Yin Le, the Mo family's ox cart drove into Liujia Village.
The villagers were either busy in the factory or doing farm work in the fields, and with the constant influx of outsiders this year, few people noticed the arrival of the Mo family.
The ox cart passed by the Liu family's old house. Old Master Mo meant that there was no need to go in, as the two sides had already separated, and they could just go directly to Liu Ji's house.
Thinking of the brief encounters with Qin Yao the last time they came to Liujia Village, Old Mrs. Mo and Mrs. Mo looked at each other and saw anxiety in each other's eyes.
Old Master Mo was not feeling well last time and didn't come. I only heard that after returning home, several people cursed Liu Ji for being an ungrateful and ungrateful person who had long forgotten his deceased wife and only remembered his new love.
Even before meeting Qin Yao, he had already labeled her as a seductive woman in his mind.
Seeing his son stop by the bridge with a horse whip in hand, his face darkened, and he had the aura of a head of the family, and shook his head, "Let's go!"
With his father's support, Brother Mo felt more confident. He cracked the whip and urged the borrowed ox cart onto the bridge and arrived at the small courtyard with green tiles and white walls on the other side of the river.
The houses in their village are either made of earth or mud, and there is not a single one with green tiles, white walls or a yard.
When they first saw such a grand courtyard, the Mo family members felt envious and jealous.
Looking down at the coarse linen clothes, torn straw sandals, and a pair of dark, rough hands that they were all wearing, he felt a little bit of hatred in his heart.
The girl from the Mo family gave her life for this family, but the son-in-law lived a good life without thinking about his parents-in-law and brother-in-law at all. It's really hateful!
Mrs. Mo put the child down first, then jumped off the ox cart and helped her parents-in-law down.
Brother Mo parked the ox cart casually in front of the gate. After receiving a signal from his parents, he strode forward and prepared to knock on the thick wooden door in front of him.
I was feeling nervous just now, but now when I saw the luxurious courtyard of Liu Ji's house, I was left with only anger.
Brother Mo raised his hand and was about to punch the door.
Unexpectedly, the door opened first.
Li stood at the door with a smile and asked, "Are you the son-in-law? Madam has received the news in advance and has specially ordered me to prepare hot tea at home for the old master and the old lady."
It is said that you should not hit someone who smiles at you. Brother Mo put down his raised fist somewhat helplessly and nodded his head: "Yes, I am his uncle, and that is his aunt and cousin Baoer, as well as his grandparents."
"Who are you?" Brother Mo asked Li.
Li bowed to the two elders first, then said, "I am the cook of the family."
As he spoke, he turned sideways and invited the others in, saying, "Thank you for your hard work on the journey, old master and old lady. I have prepared the meal according to Madam's instructions. Uncle, please come to the table and eat first."
The Mo family members looked at each other, why was this different from what they had imagined?
Being treated so politely, Old Master Mo's sullen face could hardly hold back, and he hurriedly asked where Qin Yao was.
Li led everyone to the backyard. She had opened the master's study room according to the mistress's instructions and placed hot tea and snacks inside.
"Madam has been too surprised these past two days. She caught a cold last night when it rained. To avoid passing it on to the old master and the old lady, she will not come to see guests."
After saying this, he told the Mo family members that if they were tired they could take a rest in the study, and he went to bring the food, then turned around and left.
Seeing Li walking away, the Mo family could no longer hold back and walked around the room, touching and looking at things.
Liu Ji loved his study very much. All the furnishings in the room were good things he had bought from the county town. They were not very valuable, but they were unique.
The Mo family had never seen these writing brushes, inkstones, vases, stone carvings, and bonsai stands before. They thought that the homes of the richest families were probably like these.
The adults looked around, leaving Bao'er alone, sitting on Liu Ji's favorite peony table, munching on delicious snacks, with the snack crumbs covering the tablecloth.
After finishing the snacks, Baoer felt dry in the mouth, so he stepped onto the stool with his shoes on and reached out to reach the teapot and teacups in the middle of the table.
The teacup is small, with an orchid painted on it. It is a set of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum that Liu Ji specially put together. Four teacups make up a set. He used his private money to secretly collect them for a long time to put together this set.
I usually keep it in the room and only use it to make tea for my teacher and junior brothers.
If the four Dalang brothers and sisters get close to him, he will get furious.
At this time, Baoer was holding the orchid cup in his hand, ready to pour tea for himself.
However, the teapot was quite heavy and he didn't control his strength well, so all the tea spilled out, spilling all over the tablecloth. The child, who was standing on a stool, was frightened and lost his balance, so he fell down along with the teacup and teapot.
"mother!"
Baoer's scream, along with the sound of porcelain shattering, reached the ears of the Mo family.
Mrs. Mo, who was still admiring the soft curtains in Liu Ji's room, was suddenly startled and rushed out from the inner room.
Seeing her son fall to the ground, the teapot shattered, and the tea spilled all over the floor, Mrs. Mo's breath was choked, and she quickly picked up her little son, shouting, anxious and angry, while checking him, she angrily asked:
"What are you doing? Why did you fall down out of nowhere?"
After being yelled at by his mother, Baoer, who was already frightened, started to cry loudly.
The elders rushed over, pulled Mrs. Mo away, and hugged her, calling her "Bao'er, Bao'er" to comfort her. When they heard the child say that she fell because she was pouring tea, they even stomped on the broken porcelain pieces on the ground twice, "You made my Bao'er fall, I'll trample you to death!"
Baoer then gradually stopped crying and let go of the orchid teacup in her hand, "Grandma, I'm thirsty."
Old Mrs. Mo took the tiny teacup with some disdain, and walked to the door and shouted, "Someone, bring another pot of tea!"
Before he could finish his words, Li had already arrived.
She heard the crackling noise in the backyard and ran over to check. She was relieved to see that Old Mrs. Mo was holding the orchid cup in her hand.
If it breaks, the master will come back and tear his wife's family to pieces.
Fearing that something unexpected might happen again, Li warned, "The items in this room were specially found by the master, and he cherishes them the most. If they are damaged, he will probably get angry when he comes back. I think you old master and I know the temper of our master, so don't touch his things."
Having said that, before Old Master Mo could feel insulted and get angry, Li immediately brought new tea sets, saying that it was her fault for not having prepared them well and that it was all her fault, leaving the Mo family members unable to say anything.
Mrs. Mo calmed down a little and quickly said she understood.
After Li cleaned up the floor and left, Mrs. Mo explained to her parents-in-law who were looking at her angrily:
"My brother-in-law is no longer the scoundrel he was back then. He is now a scholar. If we damage his things, it would be bad if he gets angry with us when we get back."
The two elders suddenly realized that it made sense, and quickly put the set of precious little teacups high on the shelf. They also seriously warned Baoer not to mess with it, otherwise the son-in-law would not give him good things when he came back.
Baoer blinked innocently, pointed at Li who was carrying the dishes and shouted excitedly: "Meat!"
