Transmigrated Leftover Woman in Rural Style

Over the past few years, Li's father's health has deteriorated, and he has had less and less contact with his uncles' families. Grandma has never come back, and every year Li Xiaonuan takes her two younger brothers to visit her at her fourth uncle's house. And she often finds fault with Su Shi, saying that she doesn't respect her mother-in-law and doesn't even serve her.

Now, the most difficult person for Li Xiaogang to invite is probably this old lady. To make things easier for Li Xiaogang, Li Xiaonuan specially bought many gifts. Among them, she prepared five taels of silver for her fifth uncle's family as compensation for the misappropriation of wedding funds.

Since only eleven-year-old Li Xiaogang was going, no one was comfortable with it. Therefore, Li Xiaonuan arranged for Uncle Liang, the village's horse-drawn cart driver, to accompany Li Xiaogang for a day, and gave him one tael of silver.

Before leaving, Xiao Gang blinked at Li Xiaonuan and said, "Don't worry, sister, I know how to deal with Grandma. She'll come back with me obediently. You just need to tidy up her room at home, and she'll definitely come back with me today."

Curious, Li Xiaonuan asked, "What's your idea?"

Xiao Gang's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled slyly, saying, "I'll tell you when I get back."

After saying that, Li Xiaogang climbed into the car and drove away. Li Xiaonuan stood by the door watching, racking her brains but unable to figure out how Xiaogang would fool the old lady. But she didn't have time to think about it anymore, because she still had to go to the Wei residence.

The four women—Second Aunt and her daughters—had to report to the Tibetan Herbal Medicine Clinic every day. Therefore, they accompanied Li Xiaonuan on the journey. Along the way, Xiaoping and Xiaosha seemed hesitant to speak. Seeing their troubled expressions, Li Xiaonuan asked them what was wrong.

The two exchanged glances before Xiaosha asked, "Big sister, do you think Doctor Qi would be willing to take us as his apprentices?"

Um... Li Xiaonuan really couldn't answer that. Even now, she still couldn't figure out why Qi Ji had taken Xiao Gang as his apprentice. Every time she asked Xiao Gang, he would just smile and tell her to guess, refusing to reveal anything. She had also asked Qi Ji. But he said, "That's your brother; you should know him better than I do."

Well, she was completely baffled. But that was alright; Li Xiaonuan never dwelled on things she couldn't understand. But since Xiaosha and her sister had asked, Li Xiaonuan could only respond objectively:

"I don't know either. Why don't you try asking him? Maybe he'll soften and take you on. Actually, you're girls, you shouldn't be apprenticed to Doctor Qi. There are female doctors in the clinic, why don't you give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoping slapped her forehead and said regretfully, "How could I forget this? There are female doctors in the clinic. Big sister, why don't you talk to Doctor Qi for us and ask him to put in a good word for us?"

Xiao Sha nodded repeatedly and said, "Big sister, since Doctor Qi is willing to put in a good word for us, the female doctor will definitely be willing to take us in."

Xiaoqian, who had been walking quietly to the side, suddenly interjected: "Xiaoping and Xiaosha, don't be so inconsiderate. Doctor Qi is busy, don't bother her all the time. If you want to become her apprentices, just ask the female doctor directly."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaonuan had to re-evaluate her eldest cousin. In her memory, this cousin had always been a crybaby, with a temper as impulsive and volatile as her second uncle. Of course, she was also a little selfish and very jealous. Now, for her to say something so considerate was truly rare.

However, Li Xiaonuan didn't quite agree with her, so she said to the Xiao Sha sisters, "What your sister said is also true. But I will still mention it to Doctor Qi on your behalf. Maybe he will be willing to introduce you."

Upon hearing this, the two sisters thanked Li Xiaonuan profusely. However, unnoticed by the three of them, Xiaoqian's face was filled with anger and resentment. Her gaze towards Li Xiaonuan carried a hint of displeasure.

However, Li Xiaonuan didn't notice. Even if she had, she wouldn't have thought her sisters would do anything to her. At most, their relationship would be a little less close, and they wouldn't see each other as often.

Once on the street, Li Xiaonuan parted ways with her second aunt and the other three. Unable to tell which way to go, Li Xiaonuan had to ask passersby for directions to the Wei residence. As she asked, Xiaoqian happened to be standing nearby and memorized the address.

After Li Xiaonuan left, Xiaoqian pretended to lag behind a few steps and inquired about the Wei family's situation from passersby. Upon learning of the Wei family's circumstances from the strangers, the flames of jealousy in Xiaoqian's eyes burned brightly.

Having finally found the main gate of the Wei residence, Li Xiaonuan saw Xiao Si already pacing anxiously there. Because she had assumed she would be directed to use the back or side gates, Li Xiaonuan had gone to those places first. However, she was turned away at both, and the people there refused to help her inform Xiao Si.

Therefore, upon arriving at the main gate, Li Xiaonuan called out to the anxiously pacing servant without any hesitation, "Sir, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I thought we had to go through the back gate, so I went there first."

Xiao Si, seeing that two quarters of an hour had passed and was worried that Li Xiaonuan wouldn't arrive, heard her call him. Overjoyed, Xiao Si went to greet her and replied, "Miss Li, you've finally arrived. You are a distinguished guest of our household; who would dare let you use the back door? Come quickly with me; the young master must be waiting anxiously."

Li Xiaonuan shrugged and swaggered in through the main gate with Xiao Si. Inside, Wei Bian was also about to go out. In the process of going in and out, Li Xiaonuan didn't pay attention to the sound of Xiao Si exchanging greetings with Wei Bian, and went straight in. So, she only saw Wei Bian's face directly.

Fortunately, Li Xiaonuan was quick-witted and jumped aside, thus avoiding a collision with the young master. Wei Bian frowned and glanced at Li Xiaonuan, his heart filled with ripples.

It wouldn't be entirely accurate to say that Li Xiaonuan and Chu Lin look alike. They are two completely different people. Although they share some superficial similarities, Wei Bian could see the significant differences between them. Compared to the dignified and poised Chu Lin, Li Xiaonuan was more lively and energetic.

When Li Xiaonuan noticed the young man scrutinizing her, she looked at Xiao Si questioningly. Xiao Si reluctantly stepped forward and explained the situation to Li Xiaonuan.

"Young Master, this is Miss Li. The Second Young Master had someone invite her to teach us how to make pastries. Miss Li, this is our Young Master."

Li Xiaonuan didn't know how to bow at all, but in this era, it seemed that two strangers who met each other had to bow to each other. Therefore, she simply curtsied and nodded, calling out "Young Master," as a gesture of respect.

Upon seeing Li Xiaonuan perform such an awkward greeting, Wei Bian frowned even more deeply. He nodded slightly in return, then led his entourage away without looking back. As he left, he thought to himself: "As expected of someone from a farming family, even though she's full of spirit, she lacks the poise and elegance of a lady from a respectable family."

At this moment, he was so glad that he had married Chu Lin, and not someone like Li Xiaonuan. Therefore, Wei Bian, who had been neglecting Chu Lin since their marriage, suddenly felt that Chu Lin was actually very suitable to be his wife. Even though he had felt immense anger and resentment towards her for plotting against him.

But now, the two have been married for over three years, and it's time to let go of the past and accept Chu Lin. Besides, Fei Fei is already married; what good will it do if she can't let go? Having figured this out, the young master's steps became much lighter.
