This is how Zhang Xiuzhi feels now. Thinking about how much her mother-in-law loves her little niece, she feels annoyed. She is so unlucky today that Liu Zhaodi knows about it!
However, now is not the time to worry about this. The most urgent thing is to explain it clearly first, otherwise, I don’t know what my mother-in-law will think of me!
Looking at the slightly furrowed brows of her mother-in-law, she spoke anxiously.
"Mom, I absolutely have no intention of taking advantage of Xiaoxi. I just thought that the two children could go to college together. I really haven't thought about anything else. You have to believe me!"
Hearing this, Niu Cuihua just glanced at her indifferently, and then spoke with a serious face.
"I don't know what you're thinking, but don't let me know that you're planning to take advantage of Xiaoxi and use her name to gain benefits. Otherwise, don't blame me, your mother, for turning my back on you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence for a moment, especially Sanni outside the door.
She knew that the old lady valued Xiaoxi the most, but so what? As long as Xiaoxi believed her, her good days would be over!
Li Mingxi naturally noticed Sanni's pensive look. Without thinking, he knew that she must be up to some bad idea.
Liu Zhaodi standing by had an embarrassed look in her eyes, and then spoke with a smile on her face.
"Mom is right. No one can set their sights on our Xiaoxi. Our Xiaoxi will marry into the city in the future!"
Niu Cuihua glanced at her indifferently and spoke impatiently.
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense!"
Then, looking at the people standing at the door, she said in a deep voice.
"Alright, alright, what are you looking at? What's there to see? Why don't you hurry up and do something else? Why are you blocking the way here?"
After saying this, she left first.
When everyone saw her leave, they hurriedly followed her.
After the people at the door had left, the people in the kitchen started to resume their previous work.
Seeing that they had started working, Li Mingxi said nothing more and turned back to his room.
Seeing that everyone had left and only she, Zhang Huilan and Liu Zhaodi were left in the kitchen, she spoke with an apologetic look on her face.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. What I said just now was indeed wrong. Please don't take it to heart. I meant well and didn't mean any harm!"
Thinking about what this person had just said, Zhang Huilan felt a little impatient and really didn't want to pay attention to her.
Seeing Zhang Huilan remained silent, Zhang Xiuzhi became anxious. "Fourth sister-in-law, I'm doing this for Xiaoxi's own good. You have to believe me. As Xiaoxi's aunt, do you think I could cheat her?"
"Who knows?"
Liu Zhaodi couldn't help but interrupt.
"Liu Zhaodi, I was asking Huilan. When did I ask you? Why are you interrupting?"
Seeing that these two people didn't want anyone to speak, if I didn't speak up, there would be a tendency for another quarrel.
Zhang Huilan quickly spoke up.
"Okay, okay, sister-in-law, I won't take it to heart, don't worry, okay, okay, let's hurry up and cook, everyone is waiting!"
Zhang Xiuzhi could tell that she was saying this reluctantly and wanted to say something else, but when she saw her furrowed brows, she knew that anything she said would only annoy her, so she had to shut up.
After dinner and seeing a few people off, Li Mingxi went back to his room to sleep.
"Okay, Xiaoxi, don't rush back to the house. I still have something to talk to you about!"
Li Mingxi looked at her grandmother with confusion, wondering what her grandmother wanted to talk to her about. However, she still followed Niu Cuihua into the house.
"Grandma, what's the matter with you calling me?"
Niu Cuihua looked at her granddaughter's tender face, frowned slightly, and then spoke slowly.
"Xiao Xi, tell Grandma honestly, what do you think about what your aunt said?"
When Li Mingxi saw that his grandmother actually asked him this, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.
What's going on? Everyone is worried about this. Is she so eager to find a partner?
"Grandma, what else do you want me to say? Didn't I tell you I'm not looking for a partner? You know I only have my studies on my mind!"
Niu Cuihua nodded. "Of course I know you only care about studying, but you're getting older now. It's time for you to worry about this, don't you think?"
Having said this, she looked at her granddaughter without blinking, afraid of missing any expression in her eyes.
Li Mingxi raised his head and looked at his grandmother with a frank expression.
"Grandma, what can I say so that you can believe me? I don't want this, I don't want this!"
Seeing that his granddaughter didn't seem to be pretending, he understood.
However, her joy didn't last long before she saw her little granddaughter looking at her with a lonely face.
"Or grandma, you are disgusted with me and don't want me to accompany you. Fine, if you don't want me to accompany you, then I will find someone to marry right away, so as not to annoy you in front of you!"
Niu Cuihua just asked casually, fearing that her little granddaughter was hiding something from her. Now, seeing Li Mingxi like this, she immediately felt distressed.
He made repeated promises to Li Mingxi.
"No, no, when did grandma ever say she was going to kick you out? I'm just asking, don't take it seriously!"
Afraid that Li Mingxi would take her words seriously, she simply pulled her arm and spoke nervously.
"Right, right, we don't want that. What's so good about these country boys? None of them is worthy of us. If we want to find one, we have to go to the city later, definitely not in this country place!"
"Grandma, that's not what you're saying. Aren't all the boys in our family pretty good?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Cuihua quickly spoke up to make amends, "Of course, these things in our family are good too! I was talking about others!"
"Especially those from your aunt's family. In my opinion, they're a bunch of crooked people, none of them are good. Don't believe what your aunt says!"
"Don't worry, grandma, I didn't believe it. What else do you have to worry about?"
Hearing Li Mingxi say this, Niu Cuihua finally felt relieved. "That's good, that's good. Let me tell you, you can't trust your aunt's words. She's the most cunning person!"
Niu Cuihua originally wanted to continue speaking, but when she looked up, she saw her little granddaughter looking at her with a puzzled expression. She suddenly felt that she had said too much and spoke quickly.
"Okay, okay, it's nothing. Since there's nothing else, I won't ask you anymore. Go to bed!"
While she was speaking, she kept waving her hands, and her meaning was very clear.
Li Mingxi originally wanted to ask something else, but seeing that his grandmother didn't want to say more, he didn't ask anymore. Anyway, the matter had been resolved and had nothing to do with him anymore!
Thinking this in her mind, she slowly walked towards the house.
