After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

In the morning, Xia Wanniang tied the hair of her three children and went to the yard with them to exercise.

Xiao Chiye talked to Aunt Xiao about what happened yesterday.

Aunt Xiao frowned and said, "This Liu Laoshi is of the same generation as me, but I don't know his wife. I just heard that she is very skillful, but she doesn't talk much and rarely interacts with the villagers."

Xia Wanniang walked in: "Mom, what's wrong?"

Xiao Chiye then told him about what happened yesterday: "Xu Li is claiming to be sick now, so I don't want to bother with him."

Xia Wanniang thought it was a very interesting family. The man was honest and dutiful, and so was the woman, but she didn't care at all about what others thought of her.

"Why don't my mother and I go take a look today."

Aunt Xiao frowned slightly: "We have no friendship with them, so it's not right to come to their house without permission."

Xia Wanniang smiled and said, "Mom, they have quite a few rice fields. It's reasonable for us to rent some of them!"

Aunt Xiao's eyes lit up when she heard this: "That's a good idea." Then she thought of something: "Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year. I wonder if she wants to go back to her parents' home."

Xiao Chiye: "Xu Li said that this person seemed to have no natal family when he got married."

Xia Wanniang and Aunt Xiao were both stunned, but they didn't think much about it. It was not impossible that she was an orphan girl, so they discussed it and prepared to visit with some gifts.

The three children and Lai Fu also wanted to go, so she took them with her.

Xiao Chiye and Yifeng went to the old house to continue repairing the house.

As soon as Xia Wanniang and the others arrived at Liu Laoshi's door, they heard a group of people arguing inside.

"I told you that this woman is not a good person and asked you to divorce her. Why are you so stubborn? Can your second uncle harm you?" An old man pointed at Liu Laoshi and started scolding him.

"That's right. You are already this old and you don't even have a child. What are you thinking? We asked you to be adopted by our family because you have no children, but you are not happy about it." A woman advised earnestly.

Aunt Xiao frowned when she heard this. These words sounded like advice, but in fact they were all attempts to sow discord.

Liu Laoshi squatted on the ground, smoking his pipe one puff after another, blowing out smoke rings one after another, without saying a word.

Xia Wanniang looked at the situation and was considering whether to go in.

Aunt Xiao spoke first: "Is Mr. Liu really at home?"

The sound in the yard seemed to be paused, and everyone looked towards the gate.

Xia Wanniang seemed to be relieved when she saw Liu Laoshi squatting on the ground. She said in a muffled voice, "Here."

When Liu Laoshi's second uncle Liu Laicai saw Aunt Xiao at the door, he felt he couldn't say anything: "Think carefully about what I told you today. We'll go back first."

The others didn't know what to say. They knew that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Xiao family were not easy to deal with, so it was better for them to stay away from them.

Liu Laoshi saw that they had all left, so he walked to the gate and asked, "What do you want to see me about?"

"We want to ask about the rent of your land."

Liu Laoshi frowned slightly. Their family’s rice fields were indeed rented out, but they were all rented out to relatives, so the rent was not much.

But if I suddenly rent the property to someone else, I’m afraid they will come and make trouble again.

He felt a headache coming on: "Our rice fields are all rented by relatives. I'm afraid there is no way..."

"Wait." Before Liu Laoshi could finish his words, a voice came from the room.

When Liu Laoshi heard the voice, he hurried into the house and asked, "Why are you up?"

Xia Wanniang looked down at the three curious children and asked, "Won't you feel bored?"

The three children shook their heads gently: "No, it won't be boring to follow mom."

Xia Wanniang touched their little heads.

Liu Laoshi didn't know what he said to his wife. When he came out, he looked at the others and said, "Come in and talk."

They followed Liu Laoshi into the main room and saw a woman sitting there, who was about the same age as Aunt Xiao.

She sat there quietly, embroidering something with needle and thread in her hands. Just sitting there like that gave people the illusion that time was peaceful and tranquil.

Xia Wanniang suddenly understood why Liu Laoshi wanted to stay with her even though they had no children.
