Chapter 128:

Gu Qingci has always been an unattainable existence in the eyes of the two sisters of the Li family.
Li Zhi always knew that his sister-in-law was different from these people.
Gu Celadon is a real noble girl. She grew up in a pile of gold and jade when she was a child, and she was arrogant and noble.
Others can't learn it.
Even if she married to the Li family, she was still very proud.
Seeing people all lifted their chins and their backs were straight, as if ordinary people would not be seen by her.
On the contrary, because Li Zhi and Li Chan are girls, they have no sense of existence since they were young.
My grandmother didn't care much, and my father occasionally asked me a question or two. My mother had always disliked girls. She had always focused on her elder brother, and was especially strict with the two sisters.
But even so, Li Zhi did not grow up with too much dissatisfaction and resentment.
Just because everyone in the world is like this, the daughter is worthless.
The Li family did not abuse them either.
And she looked at some of the girls in other people's homes. It didn't matter to do more work. If many people were short of money in their families, they might just sell their daughters for a sum of money. Or when her daughter was young, she was sent to another family to be a child bride.
This kind of thing is very common.
Li Zhi ate and dressed warmly at Li's house, she thought she was already pretty good.
It wasn't until Gu Celadon got married to the Li family that Li Zhi realized that there is really a huge difference between people.
People like their sister-in-law will only make people envy and jealous.
In the past, the two sisters felt that the old lady who talked about the same at home was the most powerful. Their mother was also soft and strict. They didn't dare to provoke them easily.
But Gu Celadon is different. With Gu Celadon, the old lady is just an old lady, and the Bai family is even more afraid.
The day after they got married, Gu Celadon dared to show his mother's face when he was serving tea. Not only did he contradict him, he even ran away behind him.
Li Zhi was really dumbfounded at that time.
She never expected that a wife who married another home could be so good.
At first, he even worried about Gu Celadon, thinking that she would suffer in the future.
Because Li Zhi knows his mother very well and looks soft on the face, but in fact he is not a good-tempered person.
But she ignored the reality of Gu's family, her own tyrannical Gu Celadon.
Gu Celadon is different from herself. She is backed by the entire Gu family behind her, and the second wife loves her daughters like her life and protects her baby.
As soon as I heard that my daughter had been wronged, many people soon came from the Hou Mansion, the mother and the nanny, one by one to beat the old lady and the Bai family.
These are not counted, the most important thing is that his brother protects his sister-in-law.
This is what Li Zhi envy.
She was not close to her brother in the past. His brother went to school every day and rarely met with their sisters.
Also, the Bai clan stared at them and warned them not to disturb their brother's studies.
Later, Li Zhi gradually learned that his brother looked serious, but he was actually very good. Later, he asked Gu Celadon to teach the two sisters to read and read.
Gu Celadon has an arrogant temperament and loves to be petty, but his elder brother seldom quarrels with her, and is not indifferent to her, but is very indulgent.
Therefore, in Li Zhi's eyes, he respected his elder brother while feeling that Gu Celadon was great.
I used to think occasionally if she married someone, how could she dare to make such a fuss, fearing that she would have to respect and obey her in-laws and serve her husband every day.
So far, Li Zhi's thinking has not changed.
Now that she is married to a good family, she knows that she has to rely on her brother and sister-in-law, so she is very grateful.
When a married girl returns to the door, she is a sweet guest, so the etiquette is natural to be a good hospitality, because in the eyes of everyone, she is already from another family.
The old lady's face was only smiling. Li Zhi greeted his grandmother and mother and sat and talked.
She has the best relationship with her younger sister Li Chan, and the two sisters laugh at Yan Yan.
Gu Qingci arrived a little later, and the two also met with each other.
Li Zhi gave birth to a son, so he naturally slept in the house at the time of the full moon, without taking it out.
The old lady asked a few words, envious and regretful in her heart, wishing that Celadon would be pregnant with her baby great-grandson right away, and the great-grandson wouldn’t belong to the Li family, no matter how good it was.
The eldest sister was held by the maid and followed.
She is almost one year old too, lively, cute, and fleshy.
Recently, I learned to speak a single word, occasionally a syllable or two popped out of my mouth.
The old lady raised her head to see her, and beckoned to be hugged in front of her, amused for a while, with creases on her face.
Whoever doesn't like such a smart and cute child has feelings everywhere, and I can hate it when I see it every day.
It was Li Zhi, because he was married only when Gu Celadon had a big belly and his eldest sister was full of the moon.
At that time, the little child didn't see any difference, only that she was well-behaved.
Right now, the child is almost one year old, with a round head and a round brain, white and tender and cute, only a little bit can tell that it is a beauty embryo, a pair of watery eyes are like her mother, and the eyelashes are long like a row of small fans, fluttering.
It makes people feel soft when looking at people.
Li Zhi just became a mother, and her mother's love was overflowing in her heart, so she reached out and hugged her eldest sister to coax for a while.
The eldest sister didn't know Li Zhi. Although she didn't cry, she crawled towards the old lady with her hands and feet.
The old lady laughed loudly again.
Accompanied Li Zhi for a meal in the East Yard. Seeing that the old lady was tired, Gu Celadon took the eldest sister and hugged him and invited Li Zhi to sit in his yard.
Li Zhi happily responded.
She also took a maid with her when she went out, but she didn't let her follow her at the moment, but let her take care of her son.
The rules of Gu Celadon’s yard are much stricter. They are not serious, but it feels like there are rules and regulations everywhere.
When Li Zhi came here for the first time, he was amazed and yearned.
Sitting in the west courtyard for a while, I went back to rest at night.
She lived in the house where she was not married before, and it was neatly organized.
Not long after returning to the house, Bai came over.
It's rare for Li Zhi to go back to her family's home. Even if the Bai family used to be harsh on them, she still gave birth to her mother and didn't care about the trivial things before.
After all, no one who is married to a daughter wants to have trouble with her family.
Therefore, Li Zhi also laughed at the Bai family.
"Why mother came here?"
The Bai clan also put a smile on his face, and said: "There are just so many people, and my mother didn't talk to you for a while. How good are you at your husband's house, how is your son-in-law treating you?"
Li Zhi took Bai's hand and sat her down.
With a shame on her face and a low-hatred head, she nodded gently, "It's all good, parents-in-laws are kind people. Although there are few husbands, they treat daughters very well."
In fact, the Bai family was a little unhappy, always thinking that if the eldest daughter was married to her natal nephew, the mother would not have to worry so much now.
Li Zhi has been accustomed to the work of the family since she was a child. Although she is introverted, she is a good hand at home and abroad. She is going to marry to the Bai family. With her taking care of her nephew, his nephew will not be so frustrated until now. Yes, I didn't even mention a marriage.
Whenever he thinks of this, Bai's always feel a little irritable.
I can't talk about marriage, but I actually blame the Bai family's high spirits.
The Bai family did not have any ancestral properties, and the males in the family were not very promising. The Communist Party also had dozens of acres in the countryside. The family collected some renters and the family barely survived starvation. It can be said that they are too poor.
They just rely on being in-laws with the Li family, and they always talk about this outside, wanting to marry the daughter of a good person.
But no one is a fool. Although the Bai family is related to the Li family, your surname is Bai, his surname is Li, and you are clearly in the family.
Moreover, it has been so long since they had a family, and I haven't seen any kindness to your Bai family. It can be seen that this relationship is not very close.
That being the case, there is no benefit in thinking about dating your Bai family, so why bother.
The Bai family jumped in turmoil for a while.
The old lady Bai came to her daughter when she got the chance, and pulled Bai to talk secretly.
She was obviously here to beg, but she had a stern face, saying that the Bai family was married to a good family, and now that he has developed but forgot that his mother and brother are suffering at home, and his nephew has not yet married a wife nor saw her as an aunt. .
He almost never directly denounced Bai's unfilial piety and affection.
However, the Bai family ate this set very much. She told the old lady Bai to say that she was ashamed, thinking that the Li family had big fish and meat all day, and the Bai family had a hard time eating chaffy vegetables, afraid that she would not see it at the dinner table for half a month. Fishy.
Then I took a look at the clothes his mother was wearing, still patched, the same thing I wore last time. Her mother-in-law is also about the same age, but now she looks like a wealthy old lady. She is wearing brand new clothes made of fine silk and satin. She wears a few large gold bracelets on her wrists. Her face is ruddy and full of energy. Much happier.
In such a comparison, I felt more distressed about my mother, so he hurried back to the room and secretly took a few silver coins and stuffed them with Bai's.
Mrs. Bai immediately took the silver and stuffed it into her arms, only then she had a smiling face.
After eating a few more cups of tea and using some pastries, I said I would go back.
Before leaving, as usual, Bai went to the room to take a lot of things, a few pieces of cloth, and some food, seafood bacon cakes and so on.
Because he stuffed a lot of things into his family’s family, Bai’s family was afraid that it would be hard for people to see it, and he was more reluctant to let others talk. So he hired a woman-in-law to come and they called a bearer to come over, paid the money, and sent his mother away. Back to Bai's house.
This is always the case.
Fortunately, the old lady Bai can handle her daughter, but she also dared not do too much. It’s not good to go to Li’s frequently and ask Sun’s not to be happy. It’s not a fuel-efficient lamp.
However, she is shrewd and can touch her own daughter's temperament. Even if the purpose is to cry for money every time, she never says flattering words, but scolds her coldly, as if she is thinking about the Bai family. Wearing a piece of worn-out clothes, Bai always took the initiative to deliver the money to her, and returned with satisfaction every time.
At this moment, Bai's and Li Zhi are talking. In fact, Li Zhi doesn't care much about whether his husband's life is good or not. So what if his life is good? If you have married and become a member of another family, can it still bring benefits to your family?
Not to mention having a bad life, she chose it herself, so she can't blame others.
But the Bai family naturally wouldn't say this, she only said: "You are lucky, and you can be a man in one fell swoop when you are pregnant. This is considered a firm foothold in your husband's house."
Then he sighed again, "On the contrary, your brother is not young anymore, but there is still no boy under his knees. What's the use of a girl who is losing money. Gu is mean and sharp. You are not allowed to settle in your brother's house, and pity us. The Li family still has no children and grandchildren. Looking at the scenery outside, I wonder how the people behind them joke and scold us for being dead!"
Li Zhi was not easy to talk about this. After a while, she only whispered: "My mother is not too worried. You see that the eldest sister of his sister-in-law is so cute and cute. Now she is almost one year old. I expect her sister-in-law will soon Pregnant."
Hearing this, Bai took a look at Li Zhi, and faintly said: "You have a son by yourself, so your words are flirty. If you didn't have a son, I'm afraid you will hide in the quilt and cry."
Li Zhi looked embarrassed, "Mother, why do you say that, I don't mean that."
"Okay, it's all women, mother doesn't know what you think." The Bai sneered.
Li Zhi confided that the first child she gave birth was a son. At that time, she was really relieved and was overjoyed. Even her mother-in-law said that she was very competitive, and then she treated her better.
Compared with the maiden sister-in-law who gave birth to a daughter, I have to admit that Li Zhi is a little proud of it.
She can't compare to Gu Celadon anywhere, but she gave birth to a son, and the other gave birth to a daughter.
From this point of view, Li Zhi felt that nothing else was nothing. After all, a woman would have confidence when she gave birth to a son.
Although Gu Celadon has a strong temperament and a strong family, she is very good at doing whatever she wants. After all, she has no son, and outsiders will always talk in private.
After Li Zhi got married, he thought more.
She wanted to say a few words with Gu Celadon just now when she was in the West Yard, saying that a woman still has to give birth to a boy in her husband’s family. Yes.
Because she felt that Gu Celadon was good to her sisters before, she wanted to give something back.
But in the end, she moved her lips and still didn't say it, because she knew her sister-in-law's temperament, lest she would be unhappy if she heard it.
If you feel resentment against yourself and break the relationship, and your brother no longer helps her husband's family in the future, you will lose more than you gain.
After being silent for a long time, Li Zhi said again: "It depends on the elder brother. The elder brother and the sister-in-law have a good relationship."
It's okay not to say this, but it evokes the disgust of Gu Celadon in Bai's heart.
Some people just don't like seeing their son get along well with their daughter-in-law.
Obviously Bai's is such a person.
So she heard her curse: "Gu's fox Meizi! Zeer has been fascinated by him, and now he doesn't listen to a word of mine!"
Li Zhi once again sighed that Gu Celadon was so powerful that his mother-in-law was not afraid, and he was able to win over the husband single-mindedly.
She herself didn't notice a bit of sourness in the bottom of her heart.
Although Li Zhi's husband is good, maybe because he is a martial artist, he is a little reluctant to speak, so it is naturally impossible to treat her like his brother to Gu Celadon, as if he treats her as a little girl.
Li Zhi had seen it for a while. Gu Celadon became angry. Her brother held someone to sit on his lap, hooked Gu Celadon’s chin, and kissed her face while whispering those lingering love words. She is happy.
At that time, Li Zhi ran into him accidentally, and he was so embarrassed that he immediately retreated.
But this scene has never been forgotten by her.
The thoughts in his mind are just a momentary matter. Li Zhi stopped Baishi when he said Li Chengze, and said: "Mother always said to his brother's face that his sister-in-law is not. How can such a person not get a lump in his heart? Broken the relationship between mother and child."
Li Zhi doesn't want her natal family to be uneasy. She also points to her natal family, especially her elder brother, as her backer. People without a natal family and those with a natal family have different circumstances.
How can the Bai family fail to understand this truth, she now knows how to constrain, after all, there is a mother-in-law above who eccentrically protects Gu Celadon and can't do anything.
Her son's career is smooth and capable, so she naturally does not want to be separated from his son.
"No, I dare not control Gu Celadon, saying that she is protected by someone!" Bai's words are full of resentment.
The two talked privately in the house for a long time.
It took another half a day before Bai said: "She asked you to go over and say something."
Naturally, she was referring to Gu Celadon.
Li Zhi shook his head, "It's nothing, just some common words, asking me how I am at my husband's house."
Bai did not ask, but suddenly changed the conversation and said, "What do you think of the big maid Yuzhu next to your sister-in-law?"
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment before returning to his senses, with a little surprise on her face. She was a little surprised that her mother asked what this did, but she still said: "Of course Yuzhu is a good one, her character and appearance are not bad, and she has grown up since childhood. The mansion, being with the daughter of the first-in-law, is not worse than those little daughters."
Bai's laughed when he heard this, "I said so, the more I look at it, the more I think the jade beads are good."
"Mother, you are..."
Bai's reaction to Li Zhi was a little puzzled.
Bai raised his eyes and looked out the window, and saw that there was no one in the quiet surroundings. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Qianer, your grandmother came here and happened to see Yuzhu. This kept my heart, and then came to the same mother again. Say, I want to take Yuzhuping home to your cousin."
Li Zhi felt unbelievable, and immediately asked: "Grandma saw Yuzhu? Let Yuzhu marry her cousin?"
She was in a mess, was silent for a while, and then hesitated: "Sister-in-law will not agree, right?"
Bai's face was put down, Shen Shen Ning's eyebrows were disdainful: "Isn't she just a maid, her status is low, the Bai family can marry such a person, she doesn't say that she is grateful, and she is still unwilling? What is the truth?"
Li Zhi changed his mind and asked her to see that a maid could marry Liang's son is indeed a good way out, but she intuitively felt that Gu Celadon would not agree.
So he persuaded: "Mother, you know the sister-in-law, she likes Yuzhu, and she can't live without people. How can she marry Yuzhu to her cousin?"
Bai clan said coldly: "Mother just knows that Gu clan likes to fight her mother everywhere, so she didn't mention this matter. I was afraid that she would veto it when she said it. No, I wanted to ask you for help."
Li Zhi immediately shrank, and asked carefully, "What do you want me to help..."
Bai’s mouth quickly said,
It’s not difficult. You don’t want to live at home for a month. When your uncle is gone tomorrow, if you find time in two days, you will tell Gu to borrow her maid to use it. Leading people out, I won’t let you do anything. My mother arranged for your cousin to meet from a distance. If both of them look at each other, Gu can no longer stop him, right?

Li Zhi always felt that it was not good to do this, so he hesitated and said, "If you don't want to tell his sister-in-law, Haosheng said that the sister-in-law may not agree."
Bai's face stretched out with a sharp tone: "I didn't ask you to do anything about going up to the knife and going down to the pan. You are not even willing to help with this little help. Isn't it true that Bai Sheng has no way to raise you!" If this is the case, don't come back in the future. The Li family will only treat you as a daughter!"
Li Zhi's face was very ugly, white and red.
After a long while, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
