Yoshida Mii

Chapter 210
Li's face was so blushing that she could bleed, she could say it in front of Li Hongqin and Qiuxia without any scruples, but she was too ashamed to tell her daughter about remarriage, and stammered with Dong Bao in her arms: "You, you Silly girl, what are you talking about! Can you say this? Me, me, me...don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense." Dong Bao smiled, and his eye circles were a little red, "You always worry that I don't have a father, and I don't have a brother from my natal family. I will suffer in the future and have no one to support me. If we become a family with Mr. Yan and Xiao Xu Now, Mr. Yan is my father, and Xiao Xu is my brother, isn't that good? They are more reliable than my second uncle, Da Mao and Er Mao!"

When Mrs. Li heard this, her heart felt sour, and tears flowed out. Thinking of the difficult years that mother and daughter spent together, she wanted to cry bitterly. Looking back now, if it wasn't for Dongbao, she would have jumped into the village. It's all over in a small river.

"Girl... don't worry, mother will watch over you... mother is sorry for you!" Li Shi hugged Dongbao and cried bitterly, with waves of panic in her heart, "mother will be able to forgive everyone in this life, I'm just sorry for you! Back then, I was a useless mother, and my mind was confused, so I let you sell you... If you hadn't given me a useless mother, would you have suffered such a big crime? Now we have a hard time living It's better, there is hope, mother... mother can't just care about herself..."

Mrs. Li was crying so hard that she couldn't control herself. The more she cried, the more she felt selfish and black-hearted. Marrying Mrs. Yan would lead a good life, but what should Dong Bao do?What should I do if the little girl has a knot in her heart?No matter how good your stepfather's house is, how comfortable can you live in your own home?
"This thing... I will return it to Mr. Yan tomorrow." With tears in her eyes, Li made up her mind.

Dong Bao smiled, took out the handkerchief in his arms, wiped Li Shi's face, and said with a smile, "Isn't it a shame to give someone back after taking something from someone else!" Besides, is this an ordinary thing?This is a betrothal gift from the official!
If Mrs. Li marries Mrs. Yan, she may have children, so for Mrs. Li, the most important person in her life is not Dong Bao.Thinking about it, Dong Bao would feel a little lost and relieved, anyway, she is going to get married after all, if Lin Shi and her can continue to be sweet like this, they will be a loving couple for the rest of their lives in the future, and she will live her own life Well, we can't watch Li Shi die alone at a young age. No matter how happy she is at that time, her conscience will be disturbed.

"Mother is not afraid of offending him!" Li Shi had a hard temper once in a while.

Dong Bao couldn't help laughing, she remembered that Li Shi was terrified when she met Master Yan for the first time, just in time when Master Yan found Xiao Xu, she was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger, now Li Shi knows what kind of temperament Master Yan is She is not afraid, but she looks scary on the surface, but in fact she doesn't talk much, but she is easy to talk and doesn't lose her temper randomly. As a result, Li Shi became hardened, knowing that Master Yan would not do anything to her.

"I think Mr. Yan is good." Dong Bao smiled, "I will definitely be nice to me in the future, or you can discuss it with uncle, aunt, and aunt Qiuxia. If you miss this village, there will be no shop here!"

Li's face became even redder with embarrassment, "This child..." As she said, she took the wooden box on the desk, pulled off the lid, and took out a pair of red gold bracelets and a golden longevity lock.

"Master Yan gave this to you." Li Shi said, sighing slightly, she just let go of her mood after crying happily.

Dong Bao took the bracelet and the gold lock. The bracelet looked like it was worn by a little girl her age. It was very heavy. Judging by the color and weight, it was pure gold, not the brass mixed with it on the market. Low-end goods.Her name was also engraved on the longevity lock, with "Song Dongning" engraved on one side and "Longevity for a Hundred Years" on the other.

"I didn't expect there to be mine." Dong Bao smiled, and had to admit that she was moved by Mr. Yan's thoughtful gesture in her heart, even the jewelry for Li Shi was not as heavy as these two things for her.

Seeing that Dongbao liked these two things, Mrs. Li was also happy. Master Yan gave Dongbao a better gift than hers, and she was even more satisfied. "Listen to him, he went to Anzhou to buy these things in the past two days." Li Shi wiped his face and said.

Yo!Dong Bao secretly smiled inwardly, the bracelets and gold locks are all messed up together, none of them can't be bought with hundreds of taels of silver, this stepfather is quite rich!

It's not a secret that Mr. Yan entrusted his wife in the academy to propose marriage. There are so many helpers in the shop, it's impossible to hide it, and Li Shi and Dong Bao didn't think about deliberately trying to hide it from anyone, anyway, sooner or later. It seems that they are petty if they hide it.

Two days ago, Second Aunt Song was chatting with people outside, and she heard a fellow who went to the town to go to the market that day say that when Mr. Yan said in front of everyone that he wanted to propose marriage to Mrs. Li, Second Aunt Song burst out laughing.

"Get the hell out of here!" Second Aunt Song said with a sharp smile, spat out the melon seeds in her mouth, and pushed the woman who was speaking, "Have you cleaned out your earwax? Go tell the ghost! Who will believe it!"

The woman was upset, "I'm not the only one who heard it, but several people who went to the market with me heard it."

"Okay, okay, stop entertaining me with this!" Second Aunt Song put her hips on her hips and stared, "It's not reliable to make up nonsense! Think I'm a three-year-old?"

Who is Mr. Yan?They are officials, and ordinary people like them will kneel when they meet. Tagouji is far away from the county seat, and the officials in Yuanshui Town are the emperors of this generation. Oh, hey, the emperors will look down on widows who don’t lay eggs ?I laughed so hard!

When Second Aunt Song came home, she ran into Second Uncle Song. Both of them came back from chatting outside, and they both told this incident as a joke, and had a good time with each other.

"I think it must be my sister-in-law who wants to please Mr. Yan, so she deliberately told people as if this happened!" Second Aunt Song analyzed carefully, her mind spinning like a motor.

Uncle Song nodded vigorously, with a look of disdain and gloating, "It's really unfortunate for the family that such a shameful thing happened! Don't tell Ergou if you don't know anything about it, and still want to rely on Mr. Yan? Let's see what happens to her in the future." Still have the face to go back to our Tagouji!" Although Uncle Song and Ergou are "good" friends, he knows in his heart that there is nothing between Li Shi and Ergou, but this does not prevent him from pouring dirty water on Li Shi with a few words , as if he could really have something by saying that.

"Hey? Where's the second dog?" Second Aunt Song remembered and asked casually.

Second Uncle Song thought for a long time before he said uncertainly: "I haven't heard of it. Didn't you say that you were taken away by the town's yamen servants and sent to the county? I heard that there was one of the yamen servants who was betrothed to Dongbao's cousin. .”

"The two of you will lose face now!" Second Aunt Song gloated.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and immediately felt elated, no matter how rich Mrs. Li is, she can be bullied by any random hooligan!
"I didn't know as much as a woman like her before!" Uncle Song put on his clothes and said very imposingly. If you and your parents look around, I'll take care of her for Big Brother!"

Second Aunt Song's eyes lit up, she looked at Uncle Song very expectantly, and said beamingly: "Last time, she said she wanted to adopt our Da Mao, but she pushed her away. This time she has made such a shameless thing, let's not give Da Mao to her for adoption." , but she has to pay for us Da Mao to study!"

"Not only to study!" Uncle Song put his hands behind his back, smiling smugly, "I also have to buy land and a house for our eldest Mao Ermao! In the future, Da Mao Ermao will marry a daughter-in-law, and she will also have to pay for it!"

The wishful thinking of the second-bedroom couple hadn't started for long, and before Second Uncle Song had time to leave to go to the town to find trouble with Mrs. Li, he was stunned by another heavy news.

Mr. Yan entrusted Master Liu from the academy to propose marriage to Mrs. Li!I really proposed marriage!The box of jewelry given that day is not considered a real betrothal gift!

"My matchmaker, Mrs. Liu, has been a Jinshi and a high official!" People in the village, regardless of men and women, talked freely, and there were many women who were envious and jealous of Mrs. Li.

Look, Widow Li was so sick last year that she couldn't get out of bed, and was thrown out of the house by her in-laws when she was still alive. It didn't take long for the family to turn around. Not to mention making a fortune in business, she even wanted to marry an official!
"Hey, sister-in-law Lin Fu, please tell us carefully, what's going on!" A group of people grabbed Qiuxia who came back from work, and the eager eyes of gossiping almost set Qiuxia on fire.

Qiuxia laughed, feeling very elated, "Don't you all know? Master Yan has come to propose marriage to Dongbao's mother. The exact date of marriage has not yet been decided and is still being discussed."

"The matchmakers have come to the door, why are you still discussing?" Someone asked, "Could it be sister-in-law who lied to us?"

Aunt Qiuxia smiled, "This is a good thing for Mrs. Li, why should I lie to you! Mrs. Yan must not clean up the house, build a new house, build a new house, repair it, this is their business, we don't clear."

Since Mrs. Li opened a shop in the town, people in Tagouji gradually called Mrs. Li from "Xiucai Lady" to "Mrs. Li". Dear lady boss.In the twelfth lunar month of last year, Hehua's uncle Erwei married his wife, and respectfully invited Mrs. Li to sit at the table, and received the same treatment as the most senior elders of the man's family.

Second Aunt Song stood outside the crowd, listening to the lively discussions, she was stunned there, and when she came back to her senses, she quickly ran back home, and shouted in panic at Mrs. Huang and Old Man Song inside the room. , "It's not good, it's not good!"

"Why are you screaming in broad daylight?!" Mrs. Huang was picking up the soles of her shoes. She was frightened by Second Aunt Song's yelling, and she shook her hand in fright, and the awl pierced her hand, and she immediately became annoyed. These, pointing to Second Aunt Song, scolded: "Is your father bad or is your mother bad?"
