Especially Old Mrs. Li, she already considers her third daughter-in-law as family.
Xiao Li sat down next to Li Ke, and the strawberry on her neck was facing Li Ke.
Li Ke looked up and saw it immediately. His face turned red again, and he glared at Xiao Li.
How can they be so shameless? They didn't even bother to cover it up with powder.
Xiao Li was completely unaware and even turned to smile at Li Ke.
Li Ke froze again, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
What are you laughing at? So many people are still trying to seduce him, it's utterly ridiculous.
Everyone could tell from the young couple's reaction that the third brother adored his wife; couldn't you see that his eyes were glued to her?
Everyone picked up their bowls and ate heartily, no longer looking at the two people who were showing off their affection.
Xiao Li also picked up the bowl, which was just handed to her by Old Mrs. Li. This old lady was stubborn but soft-hearted, and she was the only fair one in the Li family.
The original owner was just weak and cowardly. When her two sisters-in-law bullied her, she didn't fight back, so Old Mrs. Li simply pretended not to see it.
As for Old Master Li and his two older brothers, they all treated the original owner as an invisible person and did not regard her as family at all.
For breakfast, I had corn porridge with pickled vegetables and a flatbread made from a mixture of wheat and vegetables.
Xiao Li ate a mouthful of porridge with a bite of flatbread, followed by a bite of pickled vegetables, enjoying her meal immensely.
"Third sister-in-law, if you like these pickled vegetables, eat more. I'm the best at making pickled vegetables."
Ye Qing pushed the bowl of pickled vegetables away and smiled shyly.
Xiao Li glanced at her in surprise; this second sister-in-law was the kind of person who wouldn't do anything without a profit.
Her father was a butcher, and because she often brought home scraps of pork, Old Mrs. Li treated her with special regard.
She also held the original owner in the utmost contempt, ignoring her completely most of the time, only giving her orders when it came to work.
Xiao Li nodded. "It's delicious. If we sell it, we can definitely make money."
Ye Qing's eyes lit up. How come she hadn't thought of that?
She quickly finished her meal in a few bites and ran off with her two-year-old son.
Gu Xinyue also wanted to run away; she didn't want to wash the dishes.
Xiao Li quickly put down the bowl. "Husband, my neck hurts a little. Can you take a look?"
All eyes turned to them. Li Ke couldn't stand it any longer. He pulled Xiao Li and headed towards the room. The two of them quickly disappeared from the main room.
Everyone lowered their heads. See? I told you the third brother really liked his wife.
Gu Xinyue sat down angrily, annoyed that she had run too slowly.
Li Ke closed the door and began questioning Xiao Li.
"How can you be so shameless?"
Xiao Li pouted, tears welling up in her eyes, "You're being mean to me?"
Li Ke was speechless. He was indeed a little disgusted by the marriage, but he did not expect that Madam Fan would look so beautiful after dressing up.
And her personality, though a bit unladylike, is still incredibly cute.
Stop! What is he thinking? Has he forgotten how the Fan family aggressively forced their daughter into marriage with him in exchange for fifty taels of silver?
Xiao Li shook her head, causing the silver hairpins to sway slightly, and Li Ke's head swayed again.
Yes, didn't we get those fifty taels of silver back? Judging by all those hairpins and ornaments, it's probably worth more than fifty taels, right?
He suddenly realized that his father-in-law had taken a liking to his talent!
He used the fifty taels to test Xiao Li's sincerity, and he was sure he wouldn't have to pay her back. He looked at Xiao Li with surprise and delight. Was this what he had expected?
At that moment, he completely forgot about his dream.
Xiao Li turned her head and went to organize her dowry on her own.
Thinking of the original owner's wish, Xiao Li sighed again. Yes, the original owner's wish was to become the darling of the whole family and no longer be ignored by everyone.
Even if Li Ke wants a divorce in the future, it will be because she doesn't want him, and he is not good enough for her.
Xiao Li is good at dealing with scumbags, but becoming the group's darling requires some effort.
Li Ke received no answer, so he went into the study, but he couldn't concentrate on anything and just stared blankly at the book.
The Fan family parents weren't particularly good to the original owner, but they weren't bad either. After all, their son-in-law was a scholar, and what if he became successful in the future?
So the original owner's dowry was quite generous, though only a little more generous compared to other girls in the village.
There was no money, but there were a few sets of clothes, all of which were old clothes. The only new clothes were the wedding dress and that light green coat.
There were also a few wooden hairpins and some small items like handkerchiefs.
There was no valuable jewelry at all.
Xiao Li searched through her entire space, collecting jewelry and clothes suitable for this world for future use.
There was a commotion outside the door. Xiao Li looked up and saw three children peering into the house from the doorway.
These are Gu Xinyue and Ye Qing's children, Daya, Erdan, and Sandan, who are seven, five, and two years old respectively, and are at the age where they are very mischievous.
Children are very sensitive; they sensed the original owner's status at home and teased her quite a bit.
The three children didn't dare to make a sound while eating; they were still a little afraid of Grandma Li, so they were especially well-behaved during the meal.
Xiao Li waved to them, and they ran into the house.
"Third Aunt, you are so beautiful."
This is Daya. She really likes what her third aunt is wearing on her head, and she wants it too.
Xiao Li smiled, took out a few pieces of candy, and distributed them to the three of them.
"You must listen to me from now on, and I'll give you candy again."
The three little heads nodded vigorously; they were sure to obey.
Xiao Li asked a few more questions before sending them away.
After a while, there was another knock at the door.
This time it was Ye Qing who came. She was carrying a paper bag and seemed a little embarrassed.
"Third sister-in-law, am I bothering you by coming here now?"
Xiao Li shook her head. "I won't bother you. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Ye Qing placed the paper package on the table and rubbed his hands together.
"It's...it's that pickled vegetable you mentioned that can be sold to make money. Can you tell me about it?"
She went back to her room and thought about it for a long time, but finally realized that every household had pickled vegetables, so there was no way to sell them.
Xiao Li didn't speak, she just looked at her.
Ye Qing immediately understood, "If we go together and this deal goes through, I'll give you a share."
Xiao Li shook her head and held up two fingers.
"What? You want 20%?"
Xiao Li nodded.
The Li family did not split up; the smaller family members were required to hand over any profits they made. They could keep 40% for themselves, so it was only right that Xiaoli should get half.
"Second sister-in-law, if you make money, it's all thanks to my idea. I'm practically a partner now, and I don't want to bother thinking about not getting half of it."
Ye Qing gritted her teeth. Half was a bit too much, but it was better than nothing.
She made up her mind and agreed.
"Okay, as long as it makes money, I'll share half with you."
Xiao Li then filled in the hole she had dug that morning.
"Pickled vegetables are obviously hard to sell. What if you sold pickled vegetable pancakes? Or steamed meat with pickled vegetables?"
