Chapter 2262 Rich, Leisurely, and Confident
Upon hearing Shu Yu's words, the old lady clapped her hands together abruptly. "You're absolutely right. I think she's just bored. When Cuihua was pregnant with Yuanyuan, Erniu was still young and she had to work in the fields. It was already a miracle that she could find the time to visit Cuihua. Now that she has nothing to do, she just keeps bothering the child."
Another point is that the Lu family was poor in the past and not as well off as the Lai family, so Li didn't have the confidence to argue with her mother-in-law.
Things are different now. Not to mention that the second branch of the family has produced a county princess and a scholar who has passed the imperial examination, even on the first branch, Da Niu is quite successful. He manages so many people and earns more money than the entire Lai family in their entire lives.
With money, leisure, and confidence, how could the Li family not nitpick?
The problem is, isn't it her own beloved daughter who is suffering the most?
The old lady felt this wouldn't do. Regardless of what Li Shi did, she still felt sorry for her two pregnant granddaughters.
"Ayu, do you think there's any way to find her something to do, so she doesn't just sit around all day doing nothing? I've tried scolding her and trying to persuade her, but she won't listen. It's so annoying."
Shu Yu chuckled and took the old lady's arm. "Grandma, I can't do anything about Auntie. Right now, nothing is more important to her than her children, not even making money."
"That's true." The old lady had a headache. "She doesn't even go to the noodle stall anymore. Last time, your third aunt threatened her, saying that if she didn't work there, she would ask her niece from her own family to help her out and squeeze her out. She didn't care."
Two years ago, when the sunflower field first attracted tourists, Lu Sixing and Cuihua had the foresight to set up a stall nearby, and Liang and Li bought food together.
Every year when the sunflowers bloom, the stall is set up, and business has always been very good.
The four of them made a lot of money. Lu Sixing had even bought a mule cart, and Lu Sanzhu's family had almost paid back the money they owed Shu Yu for buying a house.
This time, Cuihua couldn't go because she was pregnant, and Li Shi also refrained from going.
Business was good, and only Lu Sixing and Liang were left at the stall. They were extremely busy. Liang called Li twice but was refused both times, which made her furious.
He even went to the old lady and scolded Li for a long time, threatening never to play with Li again.
The old lady also felt that Li was being unfair, but since Li was only trying to take care of her daughter, she couldn't say anything.
"Now it seems that she has failed to do anything well."
Seeing that she was troubled by the younger generation, Shu Yu felt bad for her. "Why don't we leave this to Brother Da Niu to handle? I think only Brother Da Niu's words are effective."
Li dared to show a stern face to the old lady, dared to argue with Liang, and spoke with disdain to Lu Dasong.
But she was helpless when it came to Cuihua and Da Niu, her two eldest daughters and sons.
"Moreover, Sister Cuihua's reaction should be less severe after three months, and she will be able to keep Auntie in check then."
The old lady's eyes lit up. "That's right, now that Da Niu is back, let Da Niu handle his mother."
The old lady called Da Niu over and explained, and the latter immediately understood.
He also noticed that Li had become thin, and that her eldest and third sisters looked haggard, but he hadn't had a chance to ask them anything yet.
After hearing what the old lady said, he finally understood what had happened during this time.
That evening, Da Niu and Li Shi chatted for a while. When Li Shi came out of the room, she looked somewhat dejected, and her eyes were red.
However, the next day, she relented and said that Da Niu should find a reliable housewife for both Cuihua and Lanhua to help with laundry and cooking at their homes.
