"Oh, I'll go right away." Grandma Kang glanced at the person and hurried to the kitchen.
She had thought that Marshal Li would introduce her to others, but it turned out he had no such intention at all.
Now she's more interested in finding out who the girl who came is.
"Quickly, sit down. This will be your home from now on. You must be tired from your journey. Have a good rest after you eat. We can talk about anything else after you've rested."
Marshal Li pulled the two children to sit down and glanced at Su Ti's belly without making a sound.
For Suti, this place was only slightly larger than her maternal grandfather's house.
Her maternal grandfather's house was also a two-story building, and she felt particularly at home there.
Seeing his wife happy made Wei Baichuan happy too, and his initial restraint vanished completely.
When it was time to eat, the family gathered around the table. Suti glanced at the person she thought was a maid when she saw her sit down at the table.
She had heard her grandfather talk about the Li family, but she couldn't remember for a moment who this person of her age was in the Li family.
"You can just call her Grandma Kang," Marshal Li explained casually when he saw her curious look.
He never considered her his wife; it was just that back then, when he was lying in a hospital bed, he needed someone legitimate to take care of him.
He had asked for her opinion at the time. Everyone had their own difficulties, so they decided to stay together and take care of each other.
Su Ti nodded. "Grandma Kang, with the addition of the character 'Kang,' makes her identity quite intriguing."
After all, she knew that Marshal Li's wife had passed away long ago, and she had never heard of his wife in all these years.
All we know is that he only has one daughter and one grandson, and no one else in his family.
Either this person is unimportant, or this person is someone the old marshal wanted to protect.
But once he reached the status of a former marshal, he didn't need to be timid or hesitant in protecting those he wanted to protect.
Now it seems that it was the first type; this person was not important at all, Suti knew this.
"Old Marshal, who is this girl?" Old Mrs. Kang felt that something bad was about to happen; she was already feeling uneasy in the kitchen.
"This is my granddaughter-in-law." Normally, Marshal Li might not have paid any attention to her, but he was happy today.
Grandma Kang was mentally prepared, but hearing this still made her heart skip a beat.
What a coincidence! How did he end up getting married? What will happen to his daughter, Qiqi?
"Child, eat. See if the food suits your taste. If you want to eat anything in the future, just tell your Grandma Kang. She's the one who prepares all the meals at home."
Marshal Li didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, but it made Old Madam Kang feel like she was inferior.
No matter what, she and the old marshal had registered their marriage. Although she had no status in the Li family, she couldn't show weakness in front of outsiders.
"Yes, tell me what you want to eat in the future. You are all from the countryside and are not familiar with this place. There are probably many things you don't know. Try this food and see if it suits your taste."
As Grandma Kang spoke, she looked at Su Ti, practically implying that they hadn't eaten any of these before.
"Grandma Kang, the food in Beijing is indeed different from what we eat back home, but I see that many of these dishes are ones I like. This must have been prepared by Grandpa, right?"
Suti raised an eyebrow; this guy was quite the cunning green tea bitch.
The implication was that they were ignorant and uncultured, coming from the countryside.
However, glancing at the men at the table, none of them showed any expression, so they probably didn't understand what she meant at all.
Su Ti smiled. She thought that the first person to reject them upon arriving in Beijing should be that Li Ci, but she didn't expect it to be such an outsider.
"Yes, I learned about your tastes when I visited last time, so I had someone make this especially for me. Please try it."
Marshal Li didn't notice the subtle exchange between the two; he only felt that Old Madam Kang was talking a lot today.
She used to be too shy to say a word at home, so what's wrong with her today? She's being overly enthusiastic.
"Okay, Grandpa, you eat too." After a few rounds, Suti won completely.
Grandma Kang never expected that this woman from the countryside was so cunning; her words implied that she was different from her.
It's still uncertain who the master is and who the outsider is!
Seeing the old marshal's puzzled look, she dared not say anything more.
No, she had to tell her granddaughter the news after dinner so she could think of a solution.
Whether it was genuine or not, the meal went very smoothly.
After dinner, the old marshal told Su Di and Wei Baichuan to go upstairs to rest, since his granddaughter-in-law was pregnant and they could discuss things after they had rested.
The rooms upstairs had already been prepared for them.
Suti also had a lot to say to Wei Baichuan, so after exchanging pleasantries with the old marshal, he pulled him upstairs.
Grandma Kang over there also hurriedly went into the kitchen to tidy up; she had to go home after she finished.
"Baichuan, how are you feeling?" As soon as they went upstairs, Su Ti pulled Wei Baichuan to sit on the edge of the bed.
Wei Baichuan glanced at the clean and tidy room, but the bed was excessively soft; everything was beyond his imagination.
"Wife, you sit down too." Wei Baichuan pulled Su Ti down to sit as well.
"It's a little uncomfortable, but I can get used to it." Wei Baichuan rubbed his wife's head.
It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality, but it's very easy to go from frugality to extravagance. Are you worried that he won't be able to adapt to a good life?
"We still haven't seen Li Ci. It seems things have really gotten very tense. We don't know what will happen in the future."
"And that old Mrs. Kang, if I'm not mistaken, she should be your nominal stepmother, and she seems to be a troublemaker as well."
They didn't know the other people in the compound yet, but there were only a few people in the Li family, and it seemed that none of the women were easy to get along with.
Fortunately, the two men in the Li family who could make decisions were on their side.
"Don't worry, we're not the ones who should be anxious right now. As long as Marshal Li is on our side, those people won't dare to make their intentions public, even if they have them."
Wei Baichuan didn't pay any attention to the old lady, but since his wife said she wasn't a good person, then she definitely wasn't a good person.
"Well, we're already here. We'll become stronger when we face stronger opponents. We don't necessarily have to stay here."
Suti winked at Wei Baichuan; after all, they had been invited back.
If they suffered even the slightest injustice, the first to stand it up would be Marshal Li and his men.
Wei Baichuan understood what his wife meant and playfully flicked her nose.
"Take a nap, you've been on the road all the way." Wei Baichuan carried her to the bed, then washed a towel and wiped her face.
Finally, he kissed Suti's cheek, touched her belly, and went to sleep peacefully.
The Kang family was now in a state of utter despair.
"Grandma, did that man really bring back a country wife?"
Kang Qiqi had originally planned to find an opportunity to ask her grandmother about the Li family.
Before she could even ask what the person looked like or what their temperament was like, her grandmother delivered an even bigger blow.
