Chapter 226 Proud
Old man Li looked at her current state and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Although Old Mrs. Li's temper was not pleasing, she gave birth to four sons for him after all.
She suffered a lot during this period. Neither of her two daughters-in-law was dedicated enough to bring her food once or twice a day.
Now that they are about to live a good life, he feels a little guilty about leaving her behind. After all, it's just one more mouth to feed, and she won't be a problem for them when they have money.
After a brief pause, Old Man Li said in a low voice, "Don't worry, you can go with us tomorrow."
After saying that, Old Man Li didn't even look at her and just left. Old Fourth Li, Old Big Li, his two daughters-in-law and Li Chengcai all walked out from in front of Old Lady Li.
Soon, only Old Lady Li was left in the room, lying on the ground. She was shivering from the cold and wanted to open her mouth to shout, but she didn't dare.
She had no choice but to slowly crawl to the edge of the kang, but it was too high and she couldn't straighten her back. She tried many times but failed.
It was just after the Chinese New Year and the weather was still very cold. Old Mrs. Li didn't dare to pull the quilt off the bed and throw it on the floor, as her two daughters-in-law would scold her again.
Just when I was at a loss, I heard the voices of Li Xiaobao and Li Niuniu outside the house. It turned out that they came to the main room to play.
Now in Old Li's house, Old Lady Li could only order them around, so she shouted to the outside of the door, "Xiaobao, come here."
Li Xiaobao quickly ran in from outside. He was already a half-grown boy and had some strength left.
"Be good, little darling, help grandma to the bed." Old Mrs. Li said as gently as possible.
As soon as he entered the room, he was hit by a foul smell and Li Xiaobao subconsciously wanted to run away.
Seeing Li Xiaobao's actions, Grandma Li hurriedly shouted again: "Xiaobao is a good child. When grandma has something delicious in the future, I will definitely give it to you."
Hearing this, Li Xiaobao hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind, bent down, held his breath, and helped Old Mrs. Li onto the bed.
The next morning, Jiang and Liu came together to change old lady Li into a set of clean clothes. It was not because they suddenly felt guilty, but because they were going to ride in a carriage and the smell on her body was too strong.
After packing up their things, the whole family boarded two carriages and headed for the capital city in a grand procession.
Li Laosan seldom goes back to Qinghe Village now. He only goes back once every two or three days. By the time he learned about the old house, two days had passed.
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, he immediately asked someone to write a letter to Li Xiaoxiao. The letter was sent to the post station. By the time Li Xiaoxiao received the letter, a group of people from the Li family's old house had also arrived in the capital.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but frown. What were they here for?
Li Dahai, who was standing by, noticed that Li Xiaoxiao was acting strangely, and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Did something happen at home?"
Li Dahai knew that the letter was sent by Li Laosan. When he saw Li Xiaoxiao's expression, he felt inexplicably flustered.
"It's not a big deal. My grandfather, fourth uncle, uncle and all the others have come to the capital." Li Xiaoxiao handed him the letter and asked him to read it himself.
"What are they doing here?" Li Dahai asked in confusion after quickly reading the contents of the letter.
"I guess it's not a good thing. They don't have any relatives in Beijing and only know our family." Li Xiaoxiao raised the corners of her mouth into an arc without a smile.
Li Xiaoxiao's words made Li Dahai fall into deep thought. Let them come, he couldn't stop them. He just hoped that it would not be like what he thought.
After a bumpy journey, the Li family finally arrived in the capital. Although the New Year had passed, the place was still decorated with lights and full of joy.
The capital city is truly worthy of being the capital city. It is much better than their Jiunu County. Jiang looked at the shops filled with goods and most of the passers-by were dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Gorgeously decorated carriages and ladies wearing all kinds of gold, silver and jade ornaments on their heads passed by her from time to time, almost dazzling her eyes.
The carriage soon arrived at where they lived, which was a courtyard with two entrances and a good location. Liu jumped off the carriage and looked at the courtyard, and couldn't help but smile.
Even before entering, you can tell from the outside that it's pretty good, with high walls, a large courtyard and a vermilion gate.
When the family entered, everyone was grinning from ear to ear. It really was worthy of being a courtyard in the capital, it looked so grand. They never thought that one day they would be able to live in the capital!
After entering the gate, there is a small garden on the left. There is a small stone pond and the ground is paved with blue bricks. It is very clean.
On the right hand side is a small pavilion with a stone table and stone benches. It is not needed in this weather, but you can enjoy the cool in the summer.
Opposite the main gate is a hanging flower gate. Pushing the door open, you will see a winding corridor. To the left of the door is the west wing, and to the right of the door is the east wing.
Built with blue bricks and glazed tiles, it is tall and imposing. Each room has large windows, allowing the entire room to be well lit.
Opposite the hanging flower gate is the main house, which is much higher than the wing rooms and has ear rooms on the left and right.
Jiang touched the pillars on the corridor with his hand. The colors were bright. Looking up, he saw carved beams and painted buildings, which were beautiful beyond words.
This is the best house she has ever lived in. The second best house is the backyard of the county government office in Chengyang County. Although it is the backyard of the county government office, that house was built quite a few years ago and is far inferior to this one.
She never thought that one day she would be able to live in such a house. In Jiunu County, only wealthy landlords could live there. Ordinary people like them couldn't even dream of living there.
Li Laosi looked at Jiang's reaction and said complacently, "We will live in this yard from now on. Isn't it good?"
"That's not bad at all. I wouldn't even dare to think about it in my dreams!" Jiang replied happily.
"That's right!" Old man Li's wrinkles deepened as he smiled, and he felt his face glowing.
So the whole family moved in happily. Old Man Li still lived in the main house, but since Old Lady Li became paralyzed, the odor on her body became increasingly severe, so Old Man Li arranged her to live in the east ear room.
Li Lao Da's family lived in the east wing, and Li Lao Si's family lived in the west wing. The living arrangements were made, but looking at such a large yard, Old Man Li had other thoughts.
Should their family buy a maid or a servant? Thinking of the maid, he thought of Zhao Lanlan. He wondered how she was doing now. Had she found someone to marry?
Now old man Li is only concerned with enjoying himself and doesn't think about how they make money. Maids and servants all cost money.
The family officially settled down. The next morning, the man with a mustache came and asked Li Laosi and Li Laoda if they had figured out how to deal with Li Xiaoxiao.
The two of them were so happy these past two days that they actually forgot about this matter and stammered for a long time without being able to speak.
The mustache man's face immediately darkened: "You and I are both paid to do this job. If the job is not done well, or if the employer does not pay anymore in the future, you can just go back."
"Don't worry about that. We will do it beautifully." Boss Li became anxious when he heard this. It was not easy for them to arrive in the capital. How could they just go back like that?
