Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1154 Li's words
Zhou Banxia agreed with the latter part of Li's words, but she objected to the claim that her father was only worried that remarrying would be unfair to her and her two sisters.

I have no choice but to object.

Even if that's what Dad thinks, how can he make Mom feel like Dad doesn't value her?

Then will Mom still be able to listen to Dad in everything from now on?
"Don't wrong my father. You know what kind of person he is. If he didn't care about you, why wouldn't he stop you from going back to your parents' home?"

"Letting you bring gifts back to your parents' home is like cutting a piece of my own flesh to my head. See if my dad stopped you? He's just afraid you'll go back empty-handed and get humiliated."

According to you, your father really dotes on your mother!

Not embarrassed at all in front of her daughter, Li grinned and said, "Your father said that when he was looking for me, he took a liking to me at first sight and said I was his wife."

"That's right. Even now that you're a grandmother, people often tell me that when you first married into the family, you were one of the prettiest young wives in our village."

"I'm getting old~" Li touched her face with her right hand. "It was alright when I was a young girl, but life got tougher later on, and I had no time to care about my face anymore."

"Only since you came back, and the family has no worries about food and clothing, if I don't put some honey on my face, not to mention your father, even I feel unworthy of your father."

"Hahaha……"

That's an exaggeration!
Some people are naturally beautiful and can't help but take care of their skin. Even if they don't take care of their skin in the past, they can still have fair and rosy skin after spending a little time on maintenance.

The key point is that even after having five children, her figure hasn't changed. She's still well-proportioned, without a bit of a belly, and she's still slim where she should be and curvy where she should be.

Compared to her peers, she, as a mother, still has some unique advantages in this regard.

Look at the elasticity of this skin!
These hands, well, I did a lot of rough work when I was young, so it's impossible for my hands to become soft and supple in a short time, but the skin on my wrists is very elastic.

These days are different from later generations; a forty-year-old woman is still a beauty. "When I reach your age and I'm still young, I'll be content."

Upon hearing her daughter praise her for looking young, Li laughed even louder than her daughter, saying, "My daughter takes after her mother; your grandmother doesn't have many wrinkles at her age."

You'll definitely take after your mother, and even if you take after your father, you won't look old. Your father and I don't have much to give you and your siblings, but this is something we've done right.

Not to brag about my fertility, but you're probably the least attractive among your siblings, yet your face looks much smaller than other girls your age.

“Yes, yes.” Zhou Banxia wholeheartedly agreed; having a baby face often has its advantages. “I should thank you for raising such a beautiful daughter.”

"Hahaha, not bad! I'm not bragging, but even the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gao family, who was handpicked by the old lady as her eldest grandson's wife, isn't as pretty as you."

My goodness, you're bursting with confidence!

"And your sister-in-law is a legitimate daughter of the Kong family, a proper eldest daughter of a scholarly family. She has read countless books, but look at her, she is not as impressive as you."

That's an exaggeration; we can't give any more examples.

Zhou Banxia, ​​both amused and exasperated, immediately interrupted, "You're the only one with a scabby head who knows his own worth. I know my own limitations, how could I be so good?"

"Your daughter is only slightly pretty, and she's good at putting on airs to fool people. If we really got serious, she'd be exposed and become a laughingstock."

"No ambition!" Madam Li was not surprised that her third daughter would belittle herself when there were no outsiders around. Her third daughter was not like her eldest daughter, but she was just like her father.

If it were the eldest daughter, and she said that, with no one else around but herself and her mother, the eldest daughter would be very happy, feeling that she was not inferior to anyone in any way.

If she's not as good as others, it's because she was born into a wealthy family and seems to know everything. She's just a third daughter, and she's just like her father, with the same awful character. Even she, as her daughter-in-law, praises him as if she's afraid of asking him for money, keeping it tightly under her wing while constantly complaining about being poor.

The third daughter is better off than her father in terms of money, but if you praise her for anything else, she immediately shrinks back and seems afraid of being targeted.

If she continues, she'll surely praise how beautiful the eldest young mistress of the Gao family is, and how her sister-in-law wrote a poem, saying that she's not any better than anyone else.

"I didn't steal or rob anyone, I'm better than others with my own abilities, so what? So what if someone hears us? You're not allowed to talk back. Can't you just let your mother have some fun?"

Zhou Banxia immediately covered her mouth with one hand and gestured for her to continue with the other.

"What are you doing looking like that!" Mrs. Li slapped her daughter down in annoyance. "Fine, I won't say anything more. I think my daughter is a hundred times better than other girls, and that's enough for me."

Yes, yes, you're the boss, you're in charge.

"That's about it. By the time we get to your mother-in-law's, she'll definitely hear what Da Hua's family has to say. Let's hurry, or someone might be coming to see her."

"No, they wouldn't call my mother-in-law to go see the commotion if they knew my father-in-law wasn't home—"

“I’m talking about your third aunt and your eldest aunt. If they find out that the two nieces-in-law over there are fighting, wouldn’t they come to your mother-in-law? Your eldest aunt will definitely come to this side first if she finds out.”

That's actually quite possible!
The old lady must have never forgotten that battle between her two daughters-in-law. She must have felt incredibly happy to see her "enemies" daughters-in-law arguing.

In addition, as long as it can highlight the eldest daughter-in-law's virtue, filial piety, and fearlessness of trouble, it's not impossible for the two of them not to come and drag their mother-in-law to the old courtyard together!

Zhou Banxia suddenly forgot about the "other side" her mother had mentioned earlier. She had misunderstood; she thought it referred to the old courtyard and didn't include the third and fourth houses at all.

Seeing that Li hadn't finished speaking yet and was already pulling her forward with big strides, she immediately lifted her skirt with one hand and followed along eagerly.

main courtyard.

Whether it was Madam Gu or Madam Gu, Zhou Banxia knew before she even entered the main courtyard that the two aunts had not yet arrived, but there were still guests who had not left.

The guest was none other than her Aunt Ma. Mai Xiang had mentioned that she had heard her in-laws' wife had just moved into the East Courtyard when she returned from carrying a food box to the main courtyard.

She was very thoughtful, even instructing the gatekeeper not to disturb the couple, and even brought her daughter and grandson to the main courtyard so late to keep her mother-in-law company.

"Third Aunt, Second Sister-in-law."

"Oh, it's our Baoya!"

Upon seeing someone emerge from the moon gate ahead and hearing the sound, Li hurriedly reached out and quickly embraced the little girl who was greeting them and trying to bow.

As she spoke, seeing the little girl affectionately rub her face against her, Li almost blurted out, "How wonderful it is to call her mother! My youngest son's marriage is also perfect!"

"Why did you come out from this end? Have you eaten? Where are you going?"

"I figured you'd be here soon, and I was just wondering where you were."

"Good child!" She even wanted to come and pick me up. Li Shi couldn't stop smiling as she touched the little girl's hand before realizing that it wasn't cold now.

Seeing her mother's eyes glued to the screen, Zhou Banxia was afraid that her mother might start praising her younger brother as a good child in front of the maid.

"Is Aunt Ma still here? Let's go inside and talk first." As she spoke, she quickly and seemingly subtly "rescued" her sister-in-law, who was being held tightly by her mother.
