Chapter 192 Li Cried
Zhou Shuren picked up the unsorted thread. Although his palms were large, his fingers were very flexible and he could sort the thread quickly. "I didn't say anything. The main thing was to come to visit. The gifts were outside. I scanned them and found that they were all bought in the county. They were not particularly expensive gifts."
Zhu Lan pressed Zhou Shuren's hand to indicate that the line was enough, and said, "It's OK if the ones bought in the county are not prepared in advance."
If it was really prepared in advance, then they came prepared. It means that they came on impulse, their family was an accident, the gift was not expensive, and their family just caught Shi Qing's eye, not to the point of calculation.
Zhulan asked again, "Didn't I tell you about what happened next door?"
"No, I didn't say anything about taking care of you."
Zhu Lan sneered, "This Mr. Shi is hoping that Wang Ru will be powerless. Mr. Shi is not here, but he has not fallen behind in his plan."
Zhou Shuren also grew up in adversity, but he still didn't like Shi Qing, who was profit-seeking in his bones. "Put away all the gifts for a while, lest someone from home sees them and spreads the word in the village. We've been too high-profile recently, so we'd better keep a low profile for a while."
"kindness."
In the main hall, the gifts were placed on the table, two rolls of cloth, some snacks, as well as wine and tea. Compared with the jade bracelet last time, they were indeed not expensive. Zhulan called Li and Zhao over and prepared to give each of them a roll of cloth, and each room was given one pound of snacks. Zhulan put away the rest.
Zhulan only saw Zhao, "Where is your sister-in-law?"
Zhao said, "My sister-in-law is out."
Zhulan looked at the fabric and snacks. Li was really arrogant. She would never leave without dividing things before, but now she doesn't even care about the fabric. "Your sister-in-law has changed."
Zhao thought that everyone in this family had changed. Even Chang Lian, who should have been proud, had become more cautious after getting engaged. She smiled and did not respond to her mother's words.
Zhulan gave the cloth to Zhao and said, "Take it back and share it with your sister-in-law. Also take one pound of snacks back. Don't give them all to the children. These snacks are too sweet and are not good for the children's teeth."
Zhao, "I've written it all down."
Li came back at lunchtime. From her excited state, it was clear that she had heard a lot of gossip. After lunch, Zhulan shared the news that Zhang Sanni had signed a contract to sell herself, and it was a death contract. Zhang Datie and his wife's plan failed.
Zhulan knew that it was Shi Qing who did it, so how could Zhang Sanni not seize the truth? However, "The news in the village is well-informed. Mr. Shi next door just left, how did the news spread?"
Li was happy to hear the news from next door, but her mother didn't like it. "Zhang Sanni went home and told her. Zhu was so angry that she stood at the door and cursed. Although she didn't curse Wang Ru directly, everyone understood her meaning and the news spread throughout the village."
Zhulan felt a toothache after hearing this. There was no entertainment in ancient times, and people relied on gossiping about other people to make a living. "It's getting late, and Yulu should take a nap. Go and coax her to sleep."
Li was thinking about going to the village to gossip, so she quickly went back to the house to coax the child to sleep.
Zhulan also went back to the room for a nap. What a wonderful life she had. In modern times, she is as tired as a dead dog. She works during the day and overtime at night, and has constant social engagements. A nap is a luxury for her. It is better to live in ancient times, enjoying a slow life.
It would have been better if she hadn't been awakened by the crying. It was Li's loud crying. Oh, it seemed that Li had never cried since she came to this house. Zhulan sat up suddenly, "What happened?"
Zhou Shuren was also startled. The cry of his eldest daughter-in-law was so penetrating. "I don't know. It seems that she cried as she walked in."
Zhulan also had some feelings for Li. People get to know each other through interaction. Especially after she found out that Li had a lovely side, she liked Li even more. She quickly put on her shoes and went downstairs, "I'll go take a look."
