Just like that, nearly three o'clock, the crowd dispersed.

The Li family didn't sleep well that night. At dawn, Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si drove the car in person to send the eldest brother and Jiayi Liu Yang into the city.

Jiayin yawned, quietly tugged on Jiayi's sleeve, and handed him a bag of silver.

Jiayi was stunned for a moment, then picked up his younger sister, kissed her twice, and promised in a low voice, "Fu Niu is at home obediently, brother will bring you something good when he comes back!"

Jiayin bared her teeth with a smile, and patted her brother on the shoulder, "Second brother, I want a shiny gem!"

"Okay, brother will buy you gems!" Jiayi didn't care if the money was enough or not, but he readily agreed.

Soon, the carriage set off, and the Li family stood at the entrance of the village watching them off for a long time before returning.

A villager got up early and went out for a walk. Seeing the Li family like this, they asked, "Auntie, but there is something at home, do you want to help?"

Mrs. Li waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's nothing serious, but Zhensheng can't be idle, so I'll take the kid out and see if I can find some business."

The villagers envied, "Mr. Da is a capable person, and he can do nothing wrong."

After all, he suddenly came to his senses and asked, "Oh, Mr. Big is gone, what about the school, who will teach the children?"

Li's second son replied, "Mr. Big is gone, and I, Mr. Second, are still there. From now on, I will teach the children to read in the morning and go to the valley in the afternoon. There will be no delay."

The villagers immediately opened their eyes, laughed and said, "I was confused. I forgot that Mr. Er taught the children before. Mr. Er gave me the name of my kid."

After a few gossips, the crowd dispersed.

After a while, everyone in the village knew that the school had changed teachers, and no one felt bad about it.

The Li family members knew it well, and it was impossible to fool the children.

In the Li family's courtyard, everyone was afraid that the old lady would feel sad, so they stayed at home to accompany them all day.

On the contrary, the old lady got annoyed and started to push people away, "You all hurry up and do what you want to do around me!"

Seeing the old lady's staring eyes, everyone was as energetic as before, so they were relieved, smiled and went to work.

Brother Mao was a little wilted, so Li Er Er carried him to the valley.

There are many people there, and the naughty boys play together, and the cat brother will definitely get better.

The old lady sat on the kang and sewed. Either the needle tip pricked her fingers, or the cotton thread was knotted.

She simply threw away her work, rubbed her granddaughter's hair, and sighed.

"There is nothing in this world without a reason. Our family has suffered a lot in the past two years, but the days are like a fire, and they are getting more and more prosperous. Among other things, when I first came out to flee famine, I didn't have 20 taels of silver. Now It’s more than 2 taels on the books!”

The old lady patted her chest, "Grandma is afraid, the money has to be earned slowly, and life is stable. Grandma knows that the family is thanks to you, and your father and uncles are also hardworking and obedient, which is what they are today. But Fu Niu , Grandma sleeps with her heart on her mind."

Jiayin was a little surprised when he heard the news. The family had money, food and clothing, and a prosperous life. This should be something everyone was looking forward to, but unexpectedly it became a psychological burden for the old lady.

She hurried forward and hugged the old lady, "Grandma is not afraid, there is a blessed girl!"

"Silly girl, just because of you, grandma is even more worried. Those gods of yours are too capable. If one day we need you to repay the gods, what should we do? So, your uncle is going out this time. No matter how reluctant grandma is, she will agree."

The old lady hugged her granddaughter tightly and kissed her soft little hair.

"Your uncle is right. It is a great merit if this matter is accomplished! The common people in Tianwu will no longer go hungry. Grandma thinks that she should be able to repay some blessings."

Jiayin blinked her big eyes twice, and confessed in a low voice, "Grandma, that... I gave it to my adoptive father..."

What she said was vague, but the old lady understood, angrily and funnyly blamed her.

"Little girl, don't you know that you are a grandma? You don't need to think about it all. There is no one else but you for the good things that pop up out of nowhere!"

Jiayin immediately smiled, twisted and twisted in grandma's arms and acted like a baby, "Grandma is the best."

The old lady helped her granddaughter to sit down, picked up her needlework again, and switched to a relaxed conversation.

"It's just the two of us at home at noon. We're being lazy. Let's make up for the noodles next time. There are still a lot of pickled melons, chopped up, and fried with meat sauce, okay?"

"Okay." Jiayin couldn't help drooling when she thought about Bai Shengsheng's noodles and poured meat sauce on them, which made the old lady laugh.

At this time, Dongmei suddenly came in from the outside. Mrs. Li pulled her to sit down and asked, "Are you done with your family affairs?"

Dongmei waved her hand, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Madam, that... the chief steward of our Hou Mansion has come and said that he has something to report to you."

"The butler is here?" The old lady was surprised, but she still asked Dongmei to invite someone quickly.

Soon, the butler came in, smiling kindly as always, "Greetings to the old lady and young miss."

"The housekeeper is polite, please sit down quickly." The old lady poured a bowl of warm tea from the kang table and served it to him.

The butler drank it all in one go, seeing that there was only one old and one young in the room, he asked, "Is the valley open, Mr. Er is busy?"

The old lady is so smart, she immediately said, "They have all gone to the valley, and we are the only two grandparents in the house at the moment. If the housekeeper has something to say, I can still make decisions about this house."

The butler sneered, and after thinking about it, he said, "Lady, there is such a thing. When our Marquis Mansion was still the Earl's Mansion, we moved here from the capital, and it was almost the last batch. The Marquis is busy protecting the emperor and queen mother." , I was the only one in the mansion. I took the motorcade and walked very slowly.

"Not far from Beijing, there was a woman on the side of the road. She was half dead. She was very pitiful. I felt compassion for a moment, so I was rescued and brought here. Although the woman was alive, she had a broken leg. Her face was also ruined, and she usually spends some money washing clothes in the slave yard of our mansion. This morning, a servant came to report that the woman seemed to be dying, and she was only hanging on her breath, but she must see her after making a fuss. Me. I went to have a look, and she said her name is...Wu Cuihua, and she is the daughter-in-law of our Li family."

"Who are you talking about?" The old lady's face immediately changed, one part surprised and seven parts complicated.

The housekeeper immediately guessed that it was wrong. After all, the Li family has always been considerate and took care of the villagers in every possible way. How could they allow their daughter-in-law to suffer outside? There must be something wrong with it.

Sure enough, the old lady asked, "Our family does have a daughter-in-law named Wu Cuihua who got lost by accident. She told us about our family, can she be right?"

The housekeeper quickly nodded, "She said Mr. Er's name, Missy's baby name, and Master Jiaren, Master Jiayi..."

The old lady sighed, it must be Wu Cuihua.

No matter how many grievances and grievances there were before, now people are dying, and they cannot see each other.

She hurriedly asked Dongmei to go to the valley to find the second and fourth children, and then found out the jackets and skirts for herself and Jiayin.

After tidying up, Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si also came back, "Mother, what happened?"
