Chapter 934: Family That Runs Both Ways

e, he can act with confidence in the Marquis.Li Zhensheng had always felt that his young niece was far too clever. This time, hearing what his mother said vaguely, he didn't press for further details....After the feast was over and the guests had enjoyed themselves, most of them were half-drunk when they left Li's house.

Jia Yi and Liu Yang were sent back to their new house early by their families, and they were taken care of by their new wives.

The Li family was in a flurry of activity, people and horses were bustling everywhere. Luckily, there were enough maidservants and helpers on hand.

Clearing the remnants of the feast, tidying the courtyard, and cleaning every corner, everyone had a clear division of labor. It was almost done in less than an hour.

Old Mrs. Li was getting on in years, so Zhao Yuru accompanied her to rest.

Tao Hongying, as the head of household, was in command. Everything ran smoothly and efficiently under her control, and no one dared to interfere.

Wenjuan and Hui Niang, along with Mrs. Wen, also took their children downstairs to bed.

As for the men, they had long since fallen asleep and sobered up.

This evening, besides the two newlywed couples' houses, everywhere else was quiet....

When elders have accomplished a major undertaking and fulfilled their responsibilities, they can rest assured.

The young couple then began their new life...

The next morning, everyone in the Li family woke up a bit late.

Because they had already received messages from their husbands, Coral and Linfeng were persuaded by their respective spouses and did not create an awkward situation by waiting under the eaves early. Instead, they followed local customs, slept a little longer, washed up, dressed neatly, and then went to the main courtyard to pay their respects.

The whole Li family was present, and everyone took turns offering tea to the elders. The elders accepted the gifts with smiles, and the new daughter-in-law also presented needlework as a return gift. Everything went smoothly and joyfully.

Although Lin Lang entered the Li family, she is actually the daughter-in-law of the Liu family.

So, she prepared a full set of dresses for her stepmother-in-law, and the little nephew a few years old was also so.

While Li Jiashu and the rest of her family were just a little bit short, they were still quite courteous.

In contrast to her actions towards Liu Shaozi, Huiniang, and Wen, Coral was very thoughtful in preparing gifts for them as a return present. However, the rest of the Li family members went all out to be kind.

Of course, she had prepared her dowry and didn't have that much silver left to prepare precious things.

But she dove into the sea countless times, risking drowning, to salvage marine goods like coral and pearls. She worked hard to earn this gift for him with her own hands.

She presented Old Madam Li with a hat she had embroidered herself, adorned with several black pearls the size of peanuts. Wherever it went, it was sure to be a sight to behold.

For Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru, it's also a pearl bracelet. The pearls are milky white, perfectly round and lustrous, and definitely wearable.

Wenjuan, Ai Bei, and the absent Wan'er all have coral earrings.

They were a group of children, all receiving some rare shells and little trinkets, being coaxed into wide smiles.

Li Laotai looked happy and distressed, pulling at this strong granddaughter-in-law and explaining things clearly to everyone.

"From now on, you must all be kind to Coral. You don't know this, but I originally gave the silver from the clan meeting to Jiay to have her prepare a dowry for Coral in advance. "

But the child refused, secretly running to the sea to earn money. Not only did she buy things, but these gifts were also made from materials she collected and sent to the jewelry shop to be crafted.

"No matter if it's a good thing or not, no matter how much it's worth, this thoughtfulness, we all truly need to cherish it!"

"This child is too daring!" Tao Hongying exclaimed, she had seen the female divers go into the sea, each one returning with a face ashen from holding their breath. It was truly dangerous, one careless moment and they could end up at the bottom of the sea.

Zhao Yuru was also heartbroken, she pulled Coral's hand and instructed, "In the future, you can't do this! Before you didn't enter the house, you didn't know our family rules. Be polite, we wouldn't say anything. But in the future, it's absolutely not okay! In our family, nothing is more important than life!

"

"As long as you live happily with Jia Yi, that's the best gift you could give us."

Mrs. Wen and Hui'niang also felt that things were too hot to handle and began to persuade him one after another.

Coral was still a little apprehensive, after all, as an orphan girl, marrying into such a large family...

But seeing everyone complaining with genuine sympathy, she couldn't help but tear up and nod repeatedly.

Last, she held out a jewelry box with both hands to the old woman. "Grandma," she said, "this is a gift for my younger sister when we meet her. Please keep it safe for me. When you see her, please give it to her."

"This set of pearl jewelry is also not very valuable. I hope my younger sister will like it."

"Like, definitely like!" Old Mrs. Li didn't even look, quickly took it, and comforted Coral, "After you see Fu Niuer later, you'll know, she is the best little sister-in-law in the world. If she knew you were like this, she would only be better to you!"

As they were speaking, suddenly a young servant ran in from outside with a message.

"Grandmother, Grandfather, our fleet is back! The Broken Gold Beach haul yielded quite a lot!"

At that moment of joy, everyone stood up!

"Goodness, you said it! I was just thinking about Fu Niu'er, and here she is, arriving at her sister-in-law's wedding!" Li Laotai exclaimed repeatedly. "I wonder how things are going back home, who came over by boat"

Li Zhensheng, of course, was also concerned. He quickly replied, "Mother, don't worry, first have dinner with the family. I'll go to the dock right away and be back soon."

Jiayi, Liu Yang, as well as Jiashi, Jianshi, and Mao Ge'er naturally couldn't contain themselves, so they got up and followed their uncle.

At that moment, there were only the old, young, men and women, as well as children at home. They were busy preparing a meal and eating half-heartedly while thinking about something else....

Jixi's son has been enjoying eating at Li's house these days since he returned.

He saw that everyone was eating less, and he found it a little strange, but he didn't stop eating.

It's still Moon Crescent and the stars, taking little brother "science"

"Little brother, leave some room in your stomach. Aunt will definitely bring us delicious food."

Yes, it's delicious, Auntie has the most delicious food.

The chubby boy didn't quite understand, he was a little reluctant to let go of the xiao long bao in his hands. He didn't understand what his older siblings meant when they said it was delicious. Could it be even better than xiao long bao

As everyone waited with bated breath, by the time the sun was high in the sky, truckloads of crates had already been transported back from the docks.

What could be more joyful than unwrapping a gift

Especially a group of homesick women, who received things sent from their home thousands of miles away.

Of course, before that, everyone didn't forget to read the family letter.

Mrs. Wen and Hui'er each received a thick envelope, and even Liu's sister-in-law received three or four pages.

The most were still from the Li family, a dozen or so.

Only Jia Yin wrote a letter to her grandmother, mother, brothers, sisters-in-law, and even little Xing Xing.

... including what Li Laer wrote, Jia Ren wrote, Wan'er wrote, and Li Ge'er wrote...

Even the village head wrote, and people of all ages in the village contributed a sentence each...

All in all, the lively home-visit book activity went on for about half an hour.

This truly showcased the warmth and cohesion of Ai Bei and Coral's in-laws!

Li Laotai, knowing the current situation at home, especially her granddaughter's "conquering all directions" and not suffering any grievance, felt reassured.

Thus, she also remembered to take care of the two new daughters-in-law, quickly put away the letter and kept it to read slowly at night, then greeted everyone to share the gifts.

Jia Yin has always been generous, especially this time when marrying his new sister-in-law.

Previously, the good food and various fine things looted from "the palace" were almost all sent over. Everyone received a share, and some were even prepared as gifts for their families.

After a rough estimate, Lao Li figured these things were worth two thousand taels.

Fortunately, they hadn't been stingy in sending back local specialties to Xindu before. They made sure their granddaughter didn't miss out. the scenery is good, the service is good, the food is good...In the new village, every household was also very busy.A few days ago, the Li family wanted to make bean paste, but their back garden had...
