Chapter 22 Wife of the In-Laws

Chapter 22

"Second Miss, we are here."

Mo Bing jumped off the carriage first, then reached out and helped Lv Songli down.

Lv Songli looked at the Xu family in front of her. The Xu family was a small farmyard, and the five-foot-high fence blocked most of the outsiders' sight.

The Lv family really didn't have the idea of ​​marrying daughters to high-class families and marrying daughters-in-law to low-class families. Her eldest brother married the daughter of a medicinal material merchant in a town under the jurisdiction of Chang'an City. The Xu family was also not high-class. It can also be seen from this that her parents love their children, but her father worked hard.

The Xu family's hometown is Yitao Town on the edge of Chang'an. When Mr. Xu was young, he was handsome. When he came to Chang'an to buy medicine for his mother, he was spotted by the old Yue family who slaughtered pigs and married his only daughter to him. With the help of his father-in-law, Mr. Xu settled down in the capital, and then with his support, he entered the government office as a minor official, and later promoted to a bailiff. Now Mr. Xu is old and has retired from the position of bailiff.

The eldest son of the Xu family inherited the job of Mr. Xu and is now a glorious bailiff. The second son took over his mother's pig slaughtering business and lived a good life. The third son of the Xu family is also her brother-in-law. The family has always supported him to study. Later, after getting married, he opened a private school with the support of the Xu and Lu families.

The three sons are all making money. The family has more than 20 acres of land in the suburbs that are rented to others for planting. The grain brought back every year can basically cover the family's consumption, so the days of the Xu family are also counted in their area.

Mo Bing was about to knock on the door, but he didn't find that the door was ajar. The people inside probably heard the noise outside and pushed the door open and walked out.

It was the old lady of the Xu family. When she saw them, she hurriedly greeted them, "His aunt, you are here? Come in!"

The old lady Xu had a masculine appearance, a rough outline, and great strength. She opened the door and removed the threshold to facilitate their carriage to enter.

When Lu Songli arrived at the Xu family, she was warmly welcomed.

Today, Grandpa Xu, Grandma Xu, the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and her brother-in-law are all at home. The two sisters-in-law helped Grandma Xu greet her, and Grandpa Xu and her brother-in-law came out of the house to greet her.

A group of boys lined up from tall to short, and the round-headed children shouted to her in unison, "Hello, aunt~~"

My God, this long line of coquetry, who can stand it?

Lu Songli quickly took out the candied haws she bought on the road and distributed them to these little guys. When she got the last three-head-tall little kid, she hesitated for a moment. When she saw the child eagerly waiting for her to share the candied haws in her hand with him, she softened her heart and gave him the candied haws, and told him, "You can only lick and bite it, and you can't put the whole thing in your mouth, understand?"

"Okay~"

"Why don't you thank your aunt?"

"Thank you, aunt~"

"Okay, okay, go play, don't bother your aunt."

After welcoming the person into the house, Mrs. Xu kept taking out the good things in the house to entertain her.

Lu Songli asked Mo Bing to take out the gifts prepared by her mother to the old lady of the Xu family.

Mrs. Xu: "My mother-in-law is too polite."

After asking about the health of her parents, Mr. Xu went to do his own work. After saying hello to Lu Songli, Mrs. Xu went to the butcher shop, and her brother-in-law also went to the private school.

After the strangers left, Old Lady Xu happily took Lu Songli's hand, talked to her affectionately, and kept urging her to eat. '

Lu Songli had no choice but to pick up a piece of rice cake and eat it slowly. She was not hungry, but she was a little scared when she saw the old lady eager to feed her herself.

The little girl was pretty, but not too eye-catching. Old Lady Xu liked her more and more. Such a look was just right for their Xu family. If the third daughter-in-law could give birth to such a granddaughter, she would wake up with a smile in her dreams.

At this time, a little kid came in, "Grandma, mother asked me to lead the way for my aunt."

Lu Songli recognized from her memory that this little guy was her eldest sister's eldest son, that is, her eldest nephew.

"It's Sheng Ge'er, okay, you can take your aunt to your mother." Old Lady Xu let her go readily.

The enthusiasm of Mrs. Xu and the eldest and second wives of Xu was overwhelming. Taking advantage of her eldest sister's call, Lu Songli fled into her eldest sister's room.

Lu Songli didn't know that from the time her family's carriage set out to the Xu family, there was a carriage with the Zhao family logo engraved in a hidden place waiting for a long time at a corner of Huaihua Street.

"Sister Yutan, are you sure we can wait for Lu Songli if we stop here?" Guo Yan poked her head out of the carriage and asked this question for the nth time. She was really impatient after waiting for a long time.

Zhao Yutan nodded and said with certainty, "This is the only way from Chongwen Street to Baodingfang, and it is also the nearest way. She used to take this road." But they waited for a long time and never waited for Lu Songli.

"Cousin, thank you for accompanying me on this trip."

Guo Yan waved her hands in panic, "Cousin, don't thank me specially."

They might be late, Zhao Yutan suspected. But didn't she say she went out in the afternoon? Could it be that the message was misinformed?

"Cousin, the restaurant in front is pretty good. Why don't you go there and have a meal first? If I see you later, I'll ask someone to go to the front to call you, okay?" Zhao Yutan suggested sympathetically.

Guo Yan was moved.

After sending her to the restaurant in front, Zhao Yutan thought about it and asked someone to go to Baodingfang.

The person who went to get the news came back and brought her a definite message. At this time, Lu Songli had indeed arrived at the Xu family.

"Miss, are we still waiting?" Hongdou asked.

Zhao Yutan gritted his teeth and said, "Wait!"

Zhao Yutan didn't know that the scene of their conversation was seen by the people on the second floor of the restaurant in front of them.

Xu's House

Lu Songyun was in confinement, and the door and windows were closed, for fear that the mother would be exposed to the wind. Therefore, Lu Songli felt that the room was a little dark after entering, but she had good eyesight and saw her eldest sister sitting on the head of the bed with a flowered headscarf. Seeing her rosy face and plump figure, Lu Songli knew that she had recovered well after giving birth.

Lu Songyun was feeding the baby and motioned her sister to come over.

Lu Songli sat on a stool near the head of the bed to facilitate the two of them to talk. After she sat down, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong with you?"

"My mother-in-law is too enthusiastic."

Haha, Lu Songyun was amused when she heard it, and then looked her up and down, "You look so much like my mother-in-law's dream daughter."

Her sister's makeup today is pleasing, with her hair hanging down in a bun, and her bangs only reaching the end of her eyebrows. She doesn't have many jewelry, which is simple but not impolite. With her girlish face with a little baby fat, she looks well-behaved.

Her mother-in-law likes color, and this color does not distinguish between men and women. As long as you look good, you will be treated preferentially by her mother-in-law. It is said that after her father-in-law and mother-in-law got married, in addition to slaughtering pigs every day, her mother-in-law rushed to do all the heavy, dirty and tiring work at home. After the three daughters-in-law married, the mother-in-law also loved them and treated them better than the three sons. All because they look better than her husband.

Lu Songli was amazed when she heard it. This is really the ancient version of "I slaughter pigs to raise you".
