Hearing Cao Bamei's words about asking Yang Yongzhi and Yang Yongqing to help, Li Wei's thick brows frowned slightly, and he spoke again with a sincere face:
"Mother-in-law, when you have me as your son-in-law, why bother bothering your uncles with trivial matters in the backyard? Make an appointment, and I will spend a whole day at that time to ensure that the house is sorted out!"
Li Wei didn't know what was going on this time, he was particularly sincere and sincere.
Seeing that Cao Bamei did not immediately accept her kindness, she changed her position and stood in front of Cao Bamei, and spoke again: "That's right, mother-in-law, don't I already have your son-in-law? There's no need to trouble others. Besides, Everyone has their own things to be busy with..."
If it had been any other time, Cao Bamei would have felt warm from the pit of her heart to the soles of her feet when she heard Li Wei's words.
However, Yang Huamei couldn't believe her daughter-in-law's family even more because her biological daughter could now say such things about her birth status and make such clear calculations.
Fake, acting, all acting.
"I really appreciate your kindness." Cao Bamei looked a little tired, "As you just said, every family has their own things to be busy with, regardless of big or small things, they are all matters."
"Even if nothing happens, you can stay at home and sleep on your back. What's not more comfortable than going out to work for others?"
"mother in law……"
"Okay, Xiaowei, I've said everything I need to say, so stop nagging."
Cao Bamei waved her hand and interrupted Li Wei's words.
"I only have one request, and that is to take good care of Xiu Xiu and her son. I don't ask you for anything else. That's it, I'm back, you can go about your business!"
After saying what she wanted to say, Cao Bamei didn't want to say anything more to Li Wei and turned around to leave.
Li Wei stood there, looking at the direction Cao Bamei was walking away, scratching his head, puzzled.
Today's mother-in-law is different from the mother-in-law the day before yesterday. When the mother-in-law was cutting down trees on the mountain, she said the same thing at the time. At that time, the mother-in-law was reformed... She was even happier than seeing her biological son.
Why is it that only one day has passed, and my mother-in-law’s attitude towards me seems to be a completely different person?
Could it be related to the previous quarrel between mother and daughter in the kitchen?
Li Wei stood there, thinking about it, and decided not to forcefully catch up and say nonsense. The top priority was to find the root of the matter and solve the problem from the source.
So, where is the source?
That must be Xiuxiu!
Because Xiuxiu is the child that the mother-in-law cares about most!
"Oh, there are some losers who make a living by licking their father-in-law's family. Look, if the mother-in-law is in a bad mood and stops licking her, some people will panic and almost cry..."
The strange sound reached Li Wei's ears.
He followed the sound and saw several childhood playmates from the same village who were about the same age as him coming here carrying poles.
Li Wei frowned and turned his face to the side, not wanting to pay attention.
However, those few people did not stop their sarcasm because of Li Wei's lack of attention. They continued to say as they walked: "Even if we are poorer, we can rely on ourselves and serve our own bowls, so we can feel at ease."
"Unlike some people, who only have a white head to show off because of their daughter-in-law's dowry. They are rich and popular, bah!"
Li Wei turned around and looked at those people angrily. His fists clenched, but he still didn't say a word.
"What's going on? Are you trying to hit us?" Those people also stopped, put down the poles on their shoulders and placed them on the ground. They pounded the ground hard and asked provocatively.
Li Wei said with a gloomy face: "Being able to make a living is also a skill. If you don't have the skills yourself, don't be jealous of others!"
"Which one are you talking about? Can you try saying it again?"
The man swung the pole in his hand as if to hit Li Wei, but was stopped by a few copper coins next to him.
"Why are you trying to stop me? I don't want to scare him, I'm going to teach him a lesson now!" the man said.
The companion said: "If you teach him a lesson, there is nothing wrong with him at all, but don't forget that he also has a daughter-in-law. His daughter-in-law belongs to the old Yang family of Changping Village. We can't afford to offend him!"
The arrogance of the person holding the pole suddenly weakened a lot.
Li Wei stood there unmoved. He raised his eyebrows and proudly brushed his clothes, revealing the white cotton silk lining under the sleeves.
The fabric of the outer garment is also very good. These are the dowry brought by Xiu Xiu.
The fabrics of these clothes are many times better than the coarse cloth clothes worn by the people in the same village in front of me. Just one piece can buy them several sets from head to toe!
"No matter how good my mother-in-law is, she is still my mother-in-law. At the critical moment, my mother-in-law and the Lao Yang family are facing me, not you."
"Even if my uncle is no longer the upright man in Lijia Village, and even if my father is in prison, so what? Who of you dares to touch me? The old Yang family and the old Luo family of Changping Village are the ones you can't afford to offend. Yes! You’d better weigh it carefully!”
The villager holding the pole was so humiliated by Li Wei's words that he blushed and shouted that he was about to rush to fight with him, a life-and-death situation.
As a result, he was naturally restrained by his companions.
"No offense, no offense, let's go, we won't argue with the soft rice king!"
"Yes, except for the hard mouth, everything else is soft. He is not a man!"
"..."
Several people dragged the cursing man away. Li Wei stood there, staring at the backs of those people walking away, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
When he was a child, he also played with these people. They went up trees to dig out bird's nests, went down to the river to catch fish and shrimps, and they did all the naughty things that little boys did.
But later on, after his uncle Li Jia became the leader of the Li family village, the relationship between him and these people gradually changed.
He knew that this was because after his uncle became the official, relying on this relationship, the status of his family and his own family in the village increased, and their income and other things were different from before, and became better.
When I play with them, the food in my pocket is better than theirs.
At first, they would rub his food, but later, they continued to rub his food, but their words became more and more sour.
There was a period of time in which everyone's relationship eased a bit.
That is, they discussed marriage before him.
This became their capital to show off, and they often showed off in front of him, saying how wonderful it was to have a wife.
At that time, Li Wei had not yet discussed the marriage.
Not long after, Li Wei also discussed marriage with the great-granddaughter of Lao Yang's parents in Changping Village.
They didn't believe it at first, saying he wasn't worthy. How could the uncle of the Yang family be a farmer?
As a result, when Xiu Xiu came to the Li family to recognize him, their last bit of luck was gone, and from then on they became more and more alienated from Li Wei.
