Chapter 243 I'm There
When Li heard this, she didn't show any panic on her face. Instead, she said, "My hometown did send someone to tell me to go back and take care of the old lady."

Zhang Yunniang became a little worried when she heard this.

But Li changed the subject and said, "My husband loves me, so he just told my family in my hometown to let me serve and take care of the old lady, but he also wants them to send her here from her hometown. In order to prevent the second and third wives from making mistakes again, these two wives should not stay in their hometown and cause trouble to the village, but should also come to Beijing to serve the old lady."

"The second and third wives are not willing to follow the old lady to Beijing. Not only will they be controlled by their elder brother, but they will also be forced to serve the old lady every day. They will never agree to this."

"My husband didn't let them do whatever they wanted in their hometown. Instead, he wrote a letter to the clan, asking the elders in the clan to come forward and see if the second and third rooms are taking good care of the old lady."

Now, the most promising person in the entire Sun family is Sun Jiaxing. Naturally, no one in the Sun family dares to neglect his words, so Old Mrs. Sun was left in her hometown.

Li, the eldest sister-in-law, no longer has to suffer from her mother-in-law's bullying. Instead, she can now write a letter every now and then to reprimand the second and third wives, urging them to do their best to take care of the old lady.

Zhang Yunniang had not expected things to turn out this way. She whispered, "Now you have finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel."

Li's lips curled up. Now she had both a son and a daughter, her husband loved her, and even her annoying mother-in-law was thousands of miles away. The scripts she wrote were performed in the theater. There really was no better life than this.

She tilted her head and looked at Niu Niu, who was eating her snacks very seriously, with a loving expression.

Niuniu noticed her godmother's gaze and reached out to pass the peanuts in her hand to Li: "Godmother, eat these peanuts quickly. Although they are not as good as the ones in Shu...my house, they are also very delicious."

Niu Niu stroked her chest and thought to herself that it was a close call, she almost let the cat out of the bag and mentioned Shuying.

Li didn't think much about it. She took the peanuts handed to her by Niu Niu with great graciousness.

When she saw the child, she suddenly remembered something and turned to Zhang Yunniang and said, "Sister-in-law, I have something that I would like to ask for your help."

Zhang Yunniang nodded: "With our relationship, if there is anything, just tell me directly."

"She is the wife of my husband's colleague. She gave birth to a daughter a few days ago. I want you to meet her."

When Zhang Yunniang heard this, she was immediately confused.

People nowadays pay attention to social circles, and it is difficult to integrate into them if you are not one of them.

Li was the wife of a Hanlin scholar. Although she and Zhang Yuniang had a good relationship, their social circles were completely different. Zhang Yuniang was the wife of a juren scholar, and she didn't think she could fit in.

"Her situation is somewhat similar to mine, but her situation is a little worse than mine. If you can meet and she can give you some advice and teach you some health tips, that would be great."

After listening to Li's explanation, Zhang Yunniang roughly understood that she wanted her to teach her some experience in postpartum conditioning.

"Where is the mother of your colleague's wife?" Zhang Yunniang asked.

After all, according to common sense, postpartum care is usually passed down from mother to daughter, or by an elderly and experienced nanny in a large family.

Li sighed and said, "She is also a pitiful person. Her family is rich, but her mother died early, and her stepmother didn't pay much attention to her. Although her father gave her a large dowry, no one took care of these things for her."

"It's not easy for women, and they are even weaker after giving birth. I thought it would be a good thing to be able to help."

After hearing this, Zhang Yunniang stopped refusing.

As they were talking, the show on the stage was about to begin, and Sun Jiaxing and Manager Luo also walked in.

Li had sharp eyes and could tell something was wrong at a glance: "Xiao Ru and Shopkeeper Luo, is this going to be good?" Zhang Yuniang nodded slightly.

Li immediately said, "Then I will give you a big red envelope!"

With the sound of a gong, the stage became lively.

The audience below the stage also quieted down, and everyone stared at the stage intently, even Niu Niu was staring at it.

This story is very simple and not complicated if you look into it in detail, but whether it was written by Li at the beginning or polished by Sun Jiaxing later, the words and sentences are very exquisite.

Whenever Cheng He on the stage had bad luck, he would be cheered by the audience.

In addition to the normal fruits and snacks, each table in the theater was given a plate of braised food. Although it looked out of place, the overbearing aroma of Gu's braised food made everyone's mouth water as soon as it entered their noses.

"How do you do your job? You only give us one plate per table. Are you feeding the birds? I have plenty of money. Give me a bigger plate!" A customer stopped the waiter at the theater and questioned him.

The waiter explained pitifully, "Sir, we are a theater, we don't sell braised food. These on the table are given by Fuwang Braised Food Shop. One plate per table, we don't have any extra."

"Fuwang Braised Food Shop? Isn't this the one that was sung on the stage? Is there really such a shop?" the customer asked.

When it was in Guang'an County, the braised food shop was not called this name. The current name was given by an expert invited by Shopkeeper Luo.

Businessmen pursue auspicious and pleasant names, and Shopkeeper Luo likes the word "Fuwang" very much.

The waiter had received the tip from Luo beforehand, so he knew what to say: "Fuwang Braised Food Shop now has a store in the north of the city, and will soon open stores in the east, south and west of the city. Where do you live, sir?"

"I live in the east of the city."

"The store on Yuanbao Street in the east of the city will open tomorrow, and it will sell the same braised food."

The guest was delighted when he heard this: "That's good! My home is right next to Yuanbao Street!"

The waiter smiled and said, "If the stewed food wasn't so delicious, it wouldn't have attracted the covetousness of villains like in the opera."

The guest became interested again and asked, "Is what's being sung on the stage actually a true story?"

"Of course, it's just that it didn't happen here, it was an old incident in Guanglin Prefecture. How could there be such a villain under the feet of our emperor?"

The guest was from the capital. He nodded when he heard this: "Under the emperor's feet, the atmosphere is naturally good. Guanglin Prefecture? I vaguely remember that some wealthy family came from Guanglin Prefecture. Now I remember! The Li family came from Guanglin Prefecture!"

The Li family is the maternal family of Concubine Li in the palace. Uncle Li is extremely powerful in the court, so the waiter didn't dare to respond.

When the play was finished, the whole audience burst into applause.

"I'm included!" Niu Niu excitedly pulled Li's hand.

Gu Mingda had originally thought that Niu Niu would not appear in this play, but he did not expect that there was actually an actor squatting down and pretending to be a child.

Li reached out and touched Niuniu's nose: "No matter who I forget, I can never forget you, my dear."

Old Mrs. Gu said solemnly, "The good boy on the stage sings well, but he is not as lovable as our own good boy."
