Chapter 987 Aunt Li Arrives (Third Watch)

"It scared me, the train was chug-chug, it was so loud!" Aunt Li took the train from Tianjin Wei to the capital, but she still couldn't recover.

The rumble of the train frightened her, a traditional woman who had never been on a train before, and she couldn't recover for a long time.

"The small group of people were shocked when they took the train for the first time, but they have become accustomed to everything after a long time. This train is not much different from a carriage." The apprentice who took Aunt Li pointed at Li Jinde The house I live in now, "This is the newly bought house in the capital of the Young Master's family. Originally, the Young Master's family only rented this place to live temporarily for a period of time. Later, after deciding to develop in the capital city, they directly bought it and used it as their own residence."

"This courtyard doesn't look very good, it's far worse than our old house in Xiamen City." Aunt Li is used to the architectural style in the south, but she is not used to the north.

"Young master, I brought the old lady back!" The apprentice led Aunt Li into the door.

Just at this time, Selina was about to go out and ran into Aunt Li head-on.

"It's you?!" Aunt Li spent a few days with Selina in Xiamen City, and once suspected that her son was interested in her.

At this time, seeing Selina again in his son's house, it was difficult to not suspect that the two were related.

Selina saw Aunt Li again, and recalling what Li Jinde said to her, she seemed to have to change her words at this time: "Aunt Li... mother... we met again..."

"My dear, how come you can speak our language!" Aunt Li couldn't help being surprised when she heard Selina speak Chinese.

But she noticed a more detailed thing, Selina called her a little strange.

"What did you say? Mother?!"

When Li Jinde came back from the outside, he found that his mother had already arrived from Xiamen City, and she was sitting opposite Selina, the atmosphere was rather awkward.

"Mother, you have come to the capital, and my son is looking forward to your coming here day and night. Have you sold the old residence in Xiamen City? If no one lives there, if you keep it, it will be vacant and wasted." Li Jinde knew the matter Not good, said with a smile.

"Do you still remember me as a mother? You don't even need to ask for my consent for such a big event as marriage. It seems that your wings have grown hard and you have completely forgotten about my mother!" Aunt Li He Dongshi Roar.

"Isn't this because mother, you are far away in Xiamen City, how could my son have time to notify?" Li Jinde tried to cover up his mistake.

At first, Li Jinde thought that he was drunk and did something to Sarina, but it was not until the wedding night in the bridal chamber that Li Jinde realized that he had done nothing wrong before that.If Aunt Li knew about this embarrassing incident, she would probably talk about it often in the future.

"As the saying goes, parents don't travel far, let alone such a big event as marriage, I think you have a daughter-in-law and forget your mother." Aunt Li said coldly.

Oops, things are trickier this time.Li Jinde thought that sooner or later he would have to pass this test, so he winked at Selina.

Selina had discussed with Li Jinde before, and understood the meaning of his eyes, so she got up and took the teapot: "Mother, I'll pour you tea."

"You don't need to be so polite to me. What kind of Western noble lady are you? How dare you bother me to pour tea for an ordinary woman. You learn our language quite quickly. I remember that when you came to our house, you even She doesn't even know how to use chopsticks, and she's still a smart person." Because Li Jinde lied to her, Aunt Li thought that Sarina was also involved, so she didn't give them a good face.

"Mother, for the sake of Selina's filial piety, you can accept the tea that this daughter-in-law gives to mother-in-law." Li Jinde said from the side.

"You didn't get my permission to get married, and you all said that your parents ordered you to marry me, but I still don't recognize this marriage." Aunt Li said proudly.

"It seems that mother, you want your son to die alone. Poor your son has only found a suitable wife for more than 20 years. Mother, you still have to beat mandarin ducks. I am a son who is really miserable. " Li Jinde pretended to wipe tears.

However, Aunt Li was still unmoved: "If you don't tell your parents, it would be better if you never find a daughter-in-law."

Li Jinde peeked at his mother from the corner of his eye, and found that she was not fooled, so he could only say: "Oh, it seems that my experience as a son is not good, but for the sake of my grandson, mother, you will always forgive me." ?”

"It's not easy for anyone's sake...You mean grandson?" Aunt Li originally wanted to continue to show Li Jinde and the others, but she became calm when she heard about grandson, and the airs she had put up with great difficulty disappeared in an instant. .

"Of course it's your own grandson, but it's hard to say whether it's a grandson or a granddaughter." Li Jinde shrugged.

"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter if it's a grandson or a granddaughter, as long as it's a biological grandson!"

Aunt Li immediately smiled, and looked at Selina much more pleasing to the eye.

"My darling, since you are pregnant, why don't you pour me some tea? Take a good rest, and I'll pour tea for you." Aunt Li snatched the teapot from Sarina and pressed her on the seat , but to pour tea for her.

"No, as a daughter-in-law, I should honor my mother-in-law. Isn't this the etiquette in the East? And it is similar in our West." Selina was flattered.

"I'm angry with you two not because you want to oppose you, but because you two got married in a hurry without telling me. If I had known earlier, I would have gone back to the countryside of Fuzhou and held a dozen or twenty tables of banquets, so that the elders in the village would know about our Li family. I have a queen!" said Aunt Li.

"That's why I don't want to tell you. If I have to go back to the countryside of Fuzhou, not to mention the tedious back and forth, and it will take a lot of time, how can I be busy with my affairs? What's more, those relatives in the countryside want to go back and forth after my father passed away. Come here and share our property, I don't want to see them again, turning the originally happy day into a quarrel." Li Jinde muttered in a low voice.

"You are the most thoughtful?! Why don't you hurry up and prepare meals! I haven't eaten anything since I came to the capital from Tianjinwei, and my good daughter-in-law should eat too. Do you want to starve the two of us?" Li The aunt said to Li Jinde domineeringly with her hips akimbo.

This day can't be passed!Li Jinde found out that after Aunt Li came to the capital, he became the person with the lowest status in the family!Sure enough, it was his own son... Li Jinde reluctantly went to prepare the meals, and at the same time he had a new sense of responsibility.

He is now a man with a high family and a wife and children. Next year, he must lead a Western company to Europe to do well and make a name for himself.
