Chapter 252 The Conspiracy between Sister-in-law and Aunt
Early the next morning, Li Yingdi didn't even make breakfast for Gu Bei. She hurriedly got dressed and went to her parents' home.
Gu Bei looked at his wife in a hurry, and felt a little expectant. He simply skipped breakfast and went to the restaurant where he worked to eat.
Unlike Gu Xiang, Li Yingdi was warmly welcomed by her parents. The reason was simple: Li Yingdi always gave gifts to her parents.
Her family didn't care about anything else, they only cared about the gifts she gave them and the fact that she was one of the better-married sisters in her family, so they always hoped that she could help out their nephew.
In particular, Li Yingdi's mother always said that Li Yingdi was the most reliable daughter she had given birth to, and that among all her children, she was the most caring.
This set of words coaxed Li Yingdi into thinking about her family whenever there was anything good.
"Hey, the boss is back. You said you are here, kid, why are you bringing anything?"
As soon as she heard Li Yingdi's voice, Li Yingdi's mother rushed over to greet her. But when she saw that Li Yingdi came empty-handed and had nothing in her hands, the smile on her face faded.
Li Yingdi's mother pulled back her hand as she was about to hold Li Yingdi's arm, and asked indifferently:
"Why are you here? So early in the morning."
Li Yingdi was still immersed in the joy of finding a good marriage for her third sister-in-law's Xiaohai. She didn't notice her mother's emotional changes at all and said excitedly:
"Mom, it's really good news, otherwise I wouldn't have come so early."
When Li Yingdi's mother heard the good news, she felt that Li Yingdi was her good daughter again, and she spoke with concern.
"What good news is this? It's worth it for you to come here so early in the morning. You don't even take a rest. Look at your face, it's become so thin. It makes me feel bad."
Li Yingdi grasped her mother's hand and said:
"I'll worry more about planning a good future for my brother, sister-in-law, and nephews. You can worry less, mother, so that you can enjoy your old age and live a happy life."
As she spoke, Li Yingdi walked inside with her mother and continued:
"Where's the third sister-in-law? Hurry up and call her out, and hold Xiao Hai too."
"Hey, third brother, come out quickly, your eldest sister is here."
When the third brother's family heard that Li Yingdi had arrived, it was good news and asked them to bring their little Hai with them. They came out in a hurry without even combing their hair.
"Oh, it turns out that my elder sister is here. No wonder I heard the magpies chirping yesterday. It turns out that my elder sister is here."
When Li Yingdi heard the compliment from her sister-in-law, she felt relaxed all over, and the wrinkles around her eyes opened up when she smiled.
"Third wife, let me tell you, our head brother has a new daughter. I think her age is just right for Xiao Hai. Don't you think it would be better to arrange a marriage for her?"
The third brother's eyes rolled, and he immediately assessed the conditions of Gu Yan's family. When he thought of the house that Gu Yan's family bought in the capital city and their ability to know medicinal herbs, his heart was burning with excitement.
The third brother thought so in his heart, but he did not say it out loud. Instead, he said:
"Really? Big sister? Gu Yan's family is so well-off, how could he be interested in our Xiao Hai? I'm not being self-deprecating, but our family's conditions are really..."
After saying that, the third elder also winked at Li's mother. Li's mother immediately understood what the third elder meant and said:
"Yes, Boss, don't be too eager to help us. We are rushing to take Xiao Hai with us. What if he doesn't recognize us?"
"Oh, mother, you are wrong. Since my eldest sister has brought it up, there must be a way, right? If you ask me, our Xiaohai will have to rely on my eldest sister as his aunt in the future."
Li Yingdi felt a little guilty about what Li's mother and the third wife said, but after being praised by them, she couldn't say anything to refuse.
Li Yingdi immediately raised her head even higher, and even patted her chest, and said confidently:
"Mom, from the Third Brother's family, just leave this matter to me. Leave it to me. After dinner, quickly clean up and make things tidy for Xiao Hai. Then we'll go to Gu Yan's house together."
"Besides, even if we take a step back, Gu Yan and his family only gave birth to a little girl. Our Gu Bei is Gu Yan's biological brother. How could he not even give us this little face?"
After saying this, Li Yingdi, fearing that the third elder family member did not realize the importance of the matter, specifically reminded them:
"Don't accuse me of making a big deal out of nothing. If our family really became relatives with Gu Yan and his family, would he be able to keep his skills and the braised pork recipe a secret from us? Then we can go to the county together to enjoy delicious food and drink spicy drinks."
Li's mother and the third sister nodded in agreement, feeling deeply that their daughter/eldest sister was so far-sighted.
Li Yingdi and the other two quickly ate breakfast and hurried to Gu Yan's house, fearing that they would be too late.
As the three of them walked, they imagined the wonderful life their children would have in the future after marrying Gu Yan's children.
When they arrived at Gu Yan's house, Li Yingdi and the other two were stunned because it wasn't just their family that arrived at Gu Yan's door. There was also another family. Even more shocking was that the other family was also holding a child.
He also looks to be about three years old, about the same age as the child.
Across from them were the eldest daughter-in-law and eldest son of Shopkeeper Liu. They were also shocked. They were secretly wondering in their hearts, could it be that Gu Yan and the others rejected them yesterday just because of this child across from them?
The two families really had their own thoughts. It was under such circumstances that Aunt Qiu went to inform Li Wanqing who had come.
After hearing the news about Aunt Qiu, Li Wanqing felt overwhelmed.
As soon as Li Wanqing heard Aunt Qiu say that both families were holding a child, she knew what the two families were planning.
What Li Wanqing couldn't understand was that Manager Liu's eldest daughter-in-law had refused yesterday, so why did she have the audacity to come today?
Although Li Wanqing had not expected Li Yingdi to come, she was not surprised. Li Wanqing did not take Li Yingdi's family seriously and would fight them off if they dared to come.
Li Wanqing could guess that Li Yingdi's reason for instigating his family to bring his nephew along was simply to covet her wealth. Apart from anything else, just because of this motive, Li Wanqing didn't dare to see them.
It’s no big deal if the adults get entangled, but if they talk nonsense outside and affect Xuexue, Li Wanqing will tear them to pieces.
What worries Li Wanqing is the eldest daughter-in-law of Shopkeeper Liu. They still have cooperation with Shopkeeper Liu. Moreover, Li Wanqing doesn't believe that Shopkeeper Liu and his wife are unaware of the visit of Shopkeeper Liu's eldest daughter-in-law today.
The most important thing is that the two families came together, which is even more annoying.
