Chapter 82 I Didn’t Steal Your Cabbage
"This is..." Xiao Yan didn't say it immediately, with some hesitation on his face.
"I'm his grandfather." The old man introduced himself.
"Grandpa!" Lu Qiniang was even more enthusiastic. "He's our family, our family."
Daya stepped forward to pour tea, steadily and neither servile nor arrogant.
Xiao Yan's grandfather glanced at her and asked Lu Qiniang, "Your daughter? I heard you have three daughters?"
"Yes, this is my eldest daughter." Lu Qin's mother said, "She is obedient and capable, but she doesn't talk much. Big girl, call someone, this is your father's grandfather, you have to call..."
"Master, what's your name?" Daya interrupted her and spoke directly to Xiao Yanwai.
"No need to worry about your surname being Li."
"Master Li." Daya knelt down and saluted him.
Lu Qiniang was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something.
Daya is reminding herself!
Don't try to claim to be related to Xiao Yan's family.
"Yes, yes, Master Li," Lu Qiniang said, "This is the eldest daughter. I also have a second daughter, who's off to the rouge shop selling things and won't be home at noon. This youngest is the third daughter, who's in her mischievous prime, acting like a wild monkey day after day."
The "Wild Monkey" called out "Master Li" and then ran out with Ah Huang, biting the steamed bun. "Dad, Mom, I'm going out to play with them. Call me when it's time to eat."
"Come back, you still have to help me run errands and buy groceries later!" Lu Qiniang shouted.
Aren’t there guests at home?
You have to cook a table full of dishes.
But San Ya had already disappeared in a flash.
Seeing that Lu Qiniang was about to curse, Xiao Yan quickly said, "Jiaojiao is at the age where she loves to play. She has helped with a lot of housework. It's hard for her to have some time to play. Don't restrict her. If she needs anything later, I'll go buy it for her."
"You just spoil her."
Mr. Li looked at Xiao Yan, as if thinking about something, with a hint of a smile on his lips.
"What's this person's name?" Lu Qiniang asked the attendant who was standing behind Master Li with a slightly hunched back.
"Old slave..."
"His name is Teng Wenfu, and he is... an old man who serves grandpa." Xiao Yan said.
"pain?"
Lu Qiniang thought to herself, there is such a strange surname.
But she wasn't stupid enough to complain about someone's last name in person, so she smiled and said, "So it's Uncle Ting, please sit down too. I'll get you a small stool—"
"No, no, I don't need it." Teng Wenfu quickly declined.
"It's okay. I've been to wealthy families before, so I know the rules. You can't sit with the master, but I don't have servants to entertain you, and I don't have a place for you to rest. I can't let you stand all the time."
As she spoke, Lu Qiniang had already brought a small stool from the kitchen and placed it a little behind Master Li. "Come, take a seat. Daya, pour Uncle Teng a glass of water too. The weather is getting hotter by the day. If I don't eat for two meals, I'll be thirsty in no time if I don't drink water."
Teng Wenfu was extremely frightened.
It was Master Li who spoke again: "Please sit down. The guest should follow the host's wishes."
Teng Wenfu only dared to sit on half of the small stool.
Lu Qiniang felt a little distressed when she saw this.
It's not easy. I'm already this old, and my grandson is already in his teens, but he still has to follow the master out for a walk.
It’s not easy, it’s really not easy.
"Xiao Yan, come and sit here," Lu Qiniang said again, "Look at you. Someone's coming to your house and you're so happy, but why are you standing there like a pillar?"
She pointed at Xiao Yan and Master Li and said, "Xiao Yan, he's always thinking about his family. He's stubborn and won't say it, but he has you in his heart."
"Really?" Master Li said with a half-smile, "You're really stubborn. You won't admit your mistakes even if you're beaten."
When Lu Qiniang heard this, she thought it was not a good thing to say!
Xiao Yan stood there like a wooden block, not saying a word, and looked like he was in a bad mood.
That won’t work!
We are a family, how can we compete like this?
"Xiao Yan," she pulled Xiao Yan's sleeve, "please sit down quickly. The old man came to see you specially because he is thinking of you! Everything that happened in the past is in the past. Come and talk to grandpa for a while."
"Why, even after getting married, you haven't gotten rid of your bad habits?" Master Li continued, "I thought you were a completely different person after becoming a relative and a father."
Lu Qi Niang: “…”
Oh no, oh no, how could she, with her stupid brain, forget the most important thing?
"It's not a marriage, it's fake, it's all fake." Lu Qiniang quickly explained, "Master Li, I didn't ruin Xiao Yan."
Mr. Li was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.
Even Teng Wenfu, sitting on that small stool, lowered his head and tried to suppress his laughter, which made his shoulders tremble.
Lu Qiniang: See, she knows it.
When the old man heard that their marriage was fake, he was immediately happy.
This means that the heart has been let go.
She also confirmed that this was someone who truly cared about Xiao Yan, and not someone who came to see him make a fool of himself or mock him for marrying a fat woman and becoming a father.
Hehe, Mr. Li, I didn’t steal your cabbage.
"Is the marriage fake?" Mr. Li said with narrowed eyes after laughing.
Xiao Yan sighed and was about to explain when he heard Lu Qiniang say, "Of course. Look at us together, I act like his mother. How could he possibly like me?"
Xiao Yan: "...abandoned mother."
Please, stop talking.
His voice sounded helpless, yet doting.
"You have to explain yourself clearly, otherwise your grandpa will be worried about you! Why are you pretending in front of your family?"
"Why do you want to have a fake marriage?" asked Mr. Li.
"This matter is a long story. Please let Xiao Yan talk to you. I'm going to buy groceries!"
"I think I still want to hear you say it." said Mr. Li.
Lu Qi Niang smiled awkwardly, "You guys should tell me."
I can't say anything about your family's affairs.
"Dad, Dad!" Sanya's voice rang out from outside, "Come quickly! Come quickly! Ah Huang is being bullied! Come out and help Ah Huang fight!"
Xiao Yan's body reacted faster than his brain. After picking up the bamboo pole beside him, he looked at Master Li belatedly.
There's no way, I'm used to it.
Ah Huang is a cowardly dog who never wins a fight, all thanks to "cheats".
"Go ahead." said Mr. Li.
Xiao Yan lowered his head: "I'll be back soon."
Then, the once heroic General Po Lu went out to help the dogs fight with high spirits.
Mr. Li: It’s too shameful to watch. It’s really too shameful to watch.
At this time, Lu Qiniang said, "Master Li, he is just being stubborn. In fact, he is thinking about home. He is happy that you can come to see him, but he just won't say it. He is stubborn and won't say thank you, but he is there in his heart."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, yes. He's looking forward to the family coming! He'll be glad to have you. Talk to him nicely, and don't scold him."
"You, please care about him." Lu Qiniang felt that the Mr. Li in front of her was also a stubborn person.
It seems like we are really a family...
"How are you doing? Are you short of money?" asked Mr. Li.
"Ah? Not in need of anything." Lu Qiniang thought he had misunderstood her and thought she was asking for money, so she quickly waved her hand, "I don't mean to ask you for money. We live a good life, and although-"
"Um?"
"Although you dress well and look like you come from a wealthy family, I know everyone has their own difficulties," Lu Qiniang said. "You are Xiao Yan's grandfather, and he is not a member of the Li family after all. Even if you want to take care of him, you still have to consider your entire family."
There was some emotion in Mr. Li's eyes.
However, only Teng Wenfu, who was most familiar with him, could see it.
"Xiao Yan is a very self-aware person and doesn't want to implicate others. So if you didn't come before, he wouldn't blame you; but if you come now, he will definitely be grateful to you."
Lu Qiniang hopes that Mr. Li can give Xiao Yan some psychological comfort.
Xiao Yan rarely mentions his family.
For him, that was probably a pain that he didn't want to talk about.
But who doesn’t want the love of family?
After all, Mr. Li came to see his first family member.
Lu Qiniang hopes Xiao Yan can be happier.
"Having a large family and a large business does have its challenges. With so many mouths to feed, I often worry and can't sleep."
Lu Qiniang said, "We can only take care of ourselves right now. If we were well off, I would definitely honor you."
Master Li smiled and said, "You are indeed filial. Xiao Yan has found a good wife."
"No, look, you forgot so quickly! I just told you, I didn't steal your cabbage!"
"Then you can give it a try, really... OK."
Lu Qi Niang: "No, no, you're joking."
As he was speaking, Xiao Yan came back with a bamboo pole.
"Did you win?" Lu Qiniang asked.
Ah Huang can't lose.
No, let her come.
If they don't win, those dogs will always bully Ah Huang.
