Chapter 166 Being Driven Back
Zhao Jinbao felt a little embarrassed. This son-in-law was older than him, so how could he accept the offer? He could only laugh vaguely as a response.
As soon as Wang entered the room, she looked at Li Chunsheng carefully. Although he was a little old, he was rich. One look at his face showed that he had a wealthy look.
"Son-in-law, don't worry about us. I came here today to give you an old hen raised at home. I asked the cook to make you chicken soup, which is the most nutritious."
"Thank you, mother-in-law. I'll ask the chef to stew the food right away. It's not easy for you two to come here, so you can have lunch here before leaving. Before coming to Chengyang County, Lanlan always mentioned you." Li Chunsheng was shameless. He didn't care about age. Zhao Lanlan's mother was his mother-in-law, and there was no sense of incongruity in calling her that.
"Okay, okay." Wang smiled happily and agreed quickly. But then she thought of another thing and spoke hesitantly.
"There's something about that son-in-law that I don't know about. I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"Mother-in-law, please speak." Li Chunsheng asked the two to sit down and called her mother-in-law all the time.
"Just now when I was at the door, I ran into an old woman. Because of something, they had a quarrel and ended up fighting accidentally."
"Are you hurt?" Li Chunsheng's face was full of worry.
"No, we have more people and the one who was injured is the old woman. But you have to recognize that old woman." Wang looked at his face and spoke tentatively.
"I know him, who is he?" Now it was Li Chunsheng's turn to be confused. He had only been in Chengyang County for two days. As he was old, he didn't want to go out. He had never left the county government gate since he arrived.
"Your second wife."
At this sentence, Old Man Li was stunned. What? An old woman actually came to Chengyang County.
It took Li Chunsheng a while to suppress the irritation in his heart. His face looked a little unhappy, which scared Wang so much that she held her breath, thinking that Li Chunsheng was angry because she hit Old Lady Li.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, you guys stay here and chat with Lanlan. I'll be back soon." After saying that, he left without waiting for their response.
Zhao Lanlan was still sitting there eating snacks. Zhao Jinbao walked quickly towards her, picked up the cakes on the table and stuffed them into his mouth. Zhao Xiaojun followed suit, eating one at a time, muttering, "How delicious!" In no time, he finished a plate of cakes.
Looking at the way they ate, Zhao Lanlan rolled her eyes at them and patted the remaining pastry crumbs on her hands.
Wang saw their expressions and then looked at her daughter's face, and hurried out to smooth things over: "Don't be angry, my daughter. I came here in a hurry this morning and didn't have any food. Besides, there are no outsiders here."
"Why don't you beat the old woman to death and leave her to annoy me?" Zhao Lanlan snorted coldly.
"Lanlan, don't worry. That old woman is already very old. How can she compare with you? I can see that the son-in-law is on your side."
"That's right. The master only favors me now, and he's almost mad at her." Zhao Lanlan looked at her newly grown fingernails with pride. Since following Grandma Li, she didn't have to do any work, she could eat whatever she wanted, and her hands began to become smooth again.
"Your brother got your revenge today by beating Old Mrs. Li until she passed out. I guess she hasn't woken up yet." Wang, with a gossipy look on her face, approached Zhao Lanlan and whispered.
"The master will be here soon. I'll ask him to prepare something for you so you can take it with you when you leave."
When Li Chunsheng came to Old Lady Li's room, Old Lady Li had just woken up. Before she had time to speak, she saw Li Chunsheng with a gloomy face. Jiang also saw him and took two steps back in fright.
"Who asked you to come? This is really ridiculous."
"Dad, you disappeared suddenly. Mom was worried about you and was afraid that something might happen to you." Jiang explained in a low voice.
"Old man, I have been with you for so many years and gave birth to four children for you. That little vixen has only been here for a few days, and you abandoned me and took her to Chengyang County to enjoy a good life. Do you still have a conscience?" Old Mrs. Li was very angry at the moment. She was so badly injured, but Old Man Li didn't say a word of concern and just started to blame her.
Li Chunsheng's face turned slightly red. He was indeed wrong in this matter, but he still had a stubborn face: "What do you mean by enjoyment? You are old and in poor health. The journey is long. I came to see Dajiang and the others. I will naturally go back in two days."
"If you can come, why can't I? You are already old, and you are showing off with a concubine in public. Aren't you afraid that people will talk about you behind your back?" In the past, Old Lady Li would not dare to say such things. Now she is sick and angry.
Li Chunsheng sneered, they were just jealous, no wonder so many masters from wealthy families liked to find concubines, he finally understood now.
With their joining, the backyard of the county government office suddenly became lively. Old Mrs. Li watched Zhao Lanlan's parents come to the county government office every day and never leave empty-handed.
Those things all belonged to her son, and they were taken away by the little vixen's family. How could she bear this?
In the past, there was no son around the Li family, but now he has two sons to support him. His arrogance suddenly rose, and he argued with Zhao Lanlan over a trivial matter.
Whenever Li Chunsheng saw this kind of situation, he would always side with his young wife regardless of who was right or wrong, and Old Lady Li would become even happier.
Li Dajiang was so annoyed by the noise that he wanted them all to go back. But they were eating well and living well here, so how could they be willing to go back?
Finally, Li Dajiang had to resort to his trump card. He gave Old Man Li and Old Lady Li one hundred taels of silver each, and also promised to bring fifty taels of silver back home every month.
The two of them then packed up their things contentedly and went back. When they left, Li Dajiang found three carriages for them.
Old man Li wanted to take one car with Zhao Lanlan, another car would take Old Lady Li and her friends, and another car would be for the luggage that Old Lady Li brought with her.
Seeing Old Man Li and Zhao Lanlan being so affectionate with each other, Old Lady Li felt it was an eyesore and insisted on going over and taking a ride with them, otherwise she would not leave.
Seeing that Old Lady Li was serious, Li Dajiang and Li Laosi tried to persuade Old Man Li.
Finally, Old Man Li had no choice but to agree under the resentful gaze of his young wife.
In the carriage, Zhao Lanlan held Old Man Li's arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. The two of them talked and laughed from time to time.
"Bah! You are such a shameless slut, being so shameless in front of others." Seeing them like this, Old Mrs. Li became increasingly furious and couldn't help but curse at them.
When she was in Chengyang County, Zhao Lanlan was somewhat cautious because of Li Dajiang.
Now, there were only three of them in the car, and she relied on the love that old man Li showed her.
"You old fool, Chunsheng dotes on me, why are you jealous?" Zhao Lanlan was very proud and arrogant.
"You shameless little bitch, who is jealous of you?" Old Mrs. Li cursed loudly, her chest heaving violently with anger, and she wished she could separate the two of them.
