Li wanted to refuse, but when she thought of her brother-in-law, she shuddered unconsciously and obediently went to the kitchen to cook according to her mother-in-law's instructions.

Li Jian came back from the town with his wife and children this time just to get money.

He asked his wife to tell his mother that he and his classmates would go to Qingshan Prefecture to study under a teacher and study hard for a year, so that he would be able to pass the exam next year.

It would cost fifty taels of silver. Given how much his parents valued his studies, he would collect the money no matter what and let his wife take it back.

As a result, when his wife returned home, she was empty-handed. Not to mention fifty taels of silver, she didn't even have anything to eat.

Every time I came back in the past, I would bring back money and a lot of food and drinks.

He was already angry when he saw that his wife did not bring back any money. Then he heard that his mother had sold her twins to raise money for him, but the matter was messed up by a girl who came from nowhere. He felt even more furious.

He should have come back a few days ago, but he heard a piece of news in the town. In order to find out whether it was true, he went out to inquire in person and confirmed that the news that Landlord Huang used 100 taels to marry 18 concubines was true, so he decided to come back.

He originally thought that his eldest brother had two daughters, and as long as he revealed the news to his mother, she would help him take care of the matter without him having to do anything.

He would also tell my mother that Landlord Huang was willing to pay fifty taels of silver, so that all the one hundred taels would be in his hands.

It was a pity that when he returned home and saw his eldest brother's two daughters, they were not only thin and small, but they didn't even know how to call him and just kept their heads down to work.

Not to mention that Huang Dizhu, who had seen countless women, looked down on her, he also despised her.

Just when he was worrying about where to get a girl and send her to Landlord Huang's house in exchange for one hundred taels of silver, a girl suddenly came into the house.

According to his wife and what his mother whispered in his ear, this girl was the one who had exchanged identities with Li Ran. She had lived in a wealthy family as a rich lady for sixteen years and had only recently returned to recognize her relatives.

The first moment he saw the girl, he felt that getting the hundred taels of silver was a piece of cake.

I just need to think carefully about how I can get my mother to help me accomplish this without involving myself.

Li Mengyue returned to the room and took out the herbs she had dug on the mountain from the space to prepare some self-defense powder.

Maybe it’s because she was a killer in her previous life, but after changing her body, she became very sensitive to malicious intent.

The first time the man saw her, she noticed the undisguised malice in his eyes.

After a period of leisurely life, she seemed to have relaxed a lot and did not prepare some medicinal powder early to carry with her. But it is not too late now. There are quite a few medicinal materials stored in the space, and it is estimated that they will be almost consumed this time.

After Li finished cooking, she went to knock on her daughter's door.

"Dong dong dong."

When Li Mengyue heard the knock on the door, she stopped what she was doing and put everything on the table into the space.

"what's up."

Li said softly, "Yueyue, it's time to eat."

"Okay, wait."

Li Mengyue opened the door and went to eat with Li.

I saw that there was someone sitting where she usually sat, a strange girl.

Li Mengyue walked forward, grabbed the strange girl's collar, put her aside, took out a handkerchief, wiped the stool, and sat down.

"Ah! Who dares to touch this girl?"

The strange girl was sitting quietly when she was suddenly lifted up. She was startled. When she turned around and saw a girl about her age, she immediately got angry.

"Who are you? Who told you to mention me? Get out of here. Get lost."

Faced with the strange girl's shouting, Li Mengyue ignored her and picked up the clean bowl and chopsticks to eat.

There was a "crash" sound.

Li Mengyue had just put the dishes and chopsticks on the table when they were swept to the ground by a strange girl.

The strange girl saw the bowls and chopsticks fall to the ground, snorted coldly, and then said: "Don't you know who you are? How dare you sit in my seat?"

[Who is so bold as to provoke the host, the God of Death? I admire you. 】

The system heard that Old Lady Li had told Li to cook meat dishes and steamed eggs, and wanted to take the opportunity to eat more.

It was waiting while the host was preparing the powder, but it didn't expect that as soon as the host sat down and had no time to eat, someone would cause trouble.

It was rare to see a girl of the same age as the host, and the system was looking for trouble with her. It even forgot about its favorite food and put all its attention on the host.

Li Mengyue didn't expect that someone would dare to provoke her so blatantly, but seeing the other party's arrogance and ignorance, she didn't even have the desire to fight back. It was really a feeling of unfair victory to argue with such a person.

So he turned to Li and said, "Mother, please bring me another set of bowls and chopsticks."

"Hey, Mom will go right away."

When Mrs. Li saw Li Jiajia making things difficult for her daughter, she became extremely nervous and wanted to say something, but seeing her mother-in-law's expression, she did not dare to speak up. It was not until her daughter asked her to get the dishes and chopsticks that she felt relieved but also felt sorry for her daughter.

Li Mengyue took the bowl and chopsticks from Li and prepared to eat.

Seeing that the other party ignored her, Li Jiajia felt ashamed and wanted to repeat her old trick and knocked Li Mengyue's bowl and chopsticks to the ground again.

But this time Li Mengyue was prepared, not only did she fail to let Li Jiajia succeed, but she fell on her butt instead.

"Woo, grandma, who is this person? Send her away. I don't want her to stay at home."

Li Jiajia didn't get what she wanted, so she threw herself into Old Lady Li's arms and cried.

But she cried for a while, and her grandmother didn't help her vent her anger immediately as she would have done in the past.

You know, every time she came back from town, she bullied Li Rou and Li Qiao. No matter whether it was her fault or not, grandma would stand on her side without saying a word, and would punish Li Rou and not allow Li Qiao to eat.

I was clearly at fault today, but my grandma not only did not punish the "murderer", she also asked her to apologize.

"Jia Jia, why don't you apologize to your cousin right away."

"What! Let me apologize, grandma, you don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"

When Li Jiajia heard what her grandma said, she made a sound of disbelief and touched Grandma Li's forehead with her hand, thinking that her grandma had a fever, otherwise why would she ask her to apologize.

Old Lady Li was embarrassed when she saw her granddaughter discrediting her in public. If her son had not called her into the room before dinner and told her about the landlord Huang, she would definitely not let her precious granddaughter suffer any injustice.

But she still needed her little hoof now, and couldn’t let the second brother’s family notice anything, so she had to smooth things over.

"Jia Jia, you were wrong today. Not only did you sit in your cousin's seat, but you also broke her dishes and chopsticks. You should apologize."

"I do not."

In the past, no matter whether Li Jiajia returned to the village or stayed in the town, whenever she suffered any injustice, it was almost always caused by others.

This time, she was asked to apologize to her cousin who appeared out of nowhere, but she refused to do that even if she died.

Zhou Meihua saw her daughter crying out of anger and felt a little resentful towards her mother-in-law.

What's wrong with the mother-in-law? Why doesn't she chase the little bitch away?

On the day when the twins were not sold, she was afraid that her husband would be waiting anxiously at home, so she did not stay in the old house but went back to town.

She originally thought that her mother-in-law would definitely take action and would not tolerate her second daughter who came back to recognize her relatives. Unexpectedly, she did not drive her away and she is still living well at home.

Looking at the food on the table today, the living standards in the old house have improved a lot during the days she was away. After all, no matter what happened in the past, meat and eggs would never be seen on the table at the same time.

The key point is that the minced meat has turned into chunks of meat, and there is egg custard. There are actually four bowls of it on the table. Looking at the egg custard in the bowls, Zhou Meihua estimated based on her experience that four eggs were used.

My goodness, when did this old house become so rich?

That's not right. The fifty taels of silver that my husband asked for as his disciple have not been paid for yet, so where will he get the money to buy meat and eggs?

Zhou Meihua didn't dare to disrespect her mother-in-law, but that didn't mean she was afraid of Li, her sister-in-law. She hugged her daughter and said to Li angrily, "Second sister-in-law, are you just going to watch your niece being bullied?"

"Third sister-in-law, it was Jia Jia who started it first. How can you blame Yue Yue for this?"

Li stammered in the face of Zhou Meihua's aggressiveness.

"You mean my daughter deserves to be bullied? For God's sake, just open your eyes and see."

Li Jian was sitting there calmly, waiting for his wife to serve him food. However, his wife and daughter were bullied and burst into tears. He looked extremely unhappy.

He looked at Li and said in a bad tone: "It seems that the second brother has a broken leg and even the people at home can't control him. I will talk to the second brother later."

Li has always been a little afraid of her brother-in-law Li Jian, because Li Jian tried to take advantage of her more than once when no one was around. Although she did not let Li Jian succeed, it also caused her psychological trauma.

She had never told her husband about this. Li Jian once said, "It would be useless even if she told him. It depends on whether the second brother believes him or Li."

Li felt ashamed when her brother-in-law molested her, and it was even more difficult for her to talk about it. She kept the matter deep in her heart.

And after being teased by Li Jian, every time Li Jian came home, she would never stay alone, but would be with someone, so she didn't give Li Jian another chance.

When she heard Li Jian talking to her again, Li's face turned pale with fright and she dared not say a word.

Li Mengyue saw her mother's expression and then looked at Li Jian. She didn't understand why Li Jian was so scared just because he said one sentence. So she stood up and held her mother's hand.

Li felt the warmth in her palm and her nervousness slowly calmed down. Now that she had such a capable daughter like Yueyue, she had nothing to be afraid of. If Li Jian dared to do anything wrong, Yueyue would definitely not ignore it.

Thinking of this, Li regained her courage and said firmly: "It's not Yueyue's fault. Jiajia should apologize to Yueyue."

Li Jian looked at his second sister-in-law, who had always been timid and cowardly, and found that she actually dared to talk back to him. He was a little bit incredulous for a moment and wondered who gave her the courage.

However, when I saw the girl standing next to my second sister-in-law, I understood the problem. She was the newly adopted daughter of my second brother and sister-in-law.

It seems that mother has to hurry up and get things done quickly. As long as the person is sent to the Huang family, he can not only get some money for free, but also get in touch with the Huang family, and his second sister-in-law will not dare to confront him.

The most important thing is that the Huang family is one of the richest families in the entire Qingshan Town. There is no telling how much money the family has. Everyone in the town knows that the landlord Huang lives in a large house with six courtyards and he takes in a beautiful concubine every two years.

If he could find the eighteenth concubine for Landlord Huang, he would definitely be able to get an appointment with Landlord Huang. If he wanted to spend money in the future, it would be as easy as letting Landlord Huang give him something.
