Chapter 204
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the Li family's gate slowly opened.
Today is the day Yao Qisheng is returning to Qujing. Yao and Li Zhiwei personally saw Yao Qisheng off.
To my surprise, as soon as I opened the door, I saw a large number of people gathered at the entrance.
Yao frowned.
“Madam, these men came to the manor early this morning demanding money. I gave them a few copper coins, but they complained it was too little and refused to leave. They even insisted that they were the second master of the manor.”
The gatekeeper, Ah Zhong, quickly stepped forward, pointed at Li Yaozu and the others, and explained to Yao Shi.
Ah Zhong spoke quite loudly, and everyone heard him.
At this moment, everyone's gaze towards Li Yaozu and the others changed.
The Li family is a well-known wealthy family in Li'an County and even in Lanno Kingdom.
There are always some people who want to borrow money from the Li family.
The Li family isn't stupid. Once that money is lent out, there's no reason for it to be returned. After all, the money didn't come from thin air. So, the Li family will only give them some money to get rid of them.
Most people go there just to spend their money.
Unexpectedly, there are a few with great ambitions.
The crowd looked at Li Yaozu and his group, noticing that their clothes were patched and mended, and they didn't seem to have any connection with the Li family.
However, people's gossipy nature is never satisfied, and everyone is very curious about whether this person is really related to the Li family.
Otherwise, why would they come to our door and immediately claim to be the second master of the mansion?
Yao looked at Li Yaozu and his group.
Although her health has been poor over the years, she is the daughter of the Yao family and grew up watching her father and brothers do business. She is not a naive and innocent girl.
These people came to the Li family simply for the money.
Especially when I saw the two thin, bony old people on the cart.
“My father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away one after the other in the second year after my husband and I got married. When they were alive, they never mentioned that there were other relatives in the family. However, seeing that the two elderly people seem to be in poor health, I thought I would send them to Dr. Liu’s famous clinic today. The housekeeper Zhou can settle the subsequent expenses.”
Yao looked at everyone, her voice neither too loud nor too soft, but enough for everyone to understand.
These people were not relatives of the Li family, but the Li family was still willing to provide medical treatment for the two elderly people.
This is already an act of generosity from the Li family.
Everyone nodded in satisfaction with Yao's approach, finding it to be a very appropriate arrangement.
"Sister-in-law, now that you've become successful, do you no longer want to acknowledge us poor relatives?" Wang Cuihua was displeased with Yao's arrangement.
You know, if they hadn't moved into the Li family's house today, how would her son have talked about his wife?
"Oh dear, ma'am, Mrs. Li is just being kind by treating your old man and woman. That's enough."
Seeing that Wang Cuihua looked unhappy, someone quickly spoke up to persuade her.
"That's right, you're not really related to the Li family, so don't think you can fool them."
"That's right, you say you're the second master of the Li family, but I'd say I'm the eldest master of the Li family, haha!"
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, but they were all on the Li family's side.
“I know this family. Aren’t they the Li Yaozu family who live at the foot of the mountain to the east?”
