After rebirth, the domineering empress chased her husband

Day two.

Get up, as usual.

There were unexpectedly a lot of seafood today. Leng Hanyan was not stupid, so he carried two buckets with him.

She found out that seafood in the market only cost 200 yuan at most, so she decided to save a bucket to take home for her children.

Maybe even if I donated a lot of money, no one would dare to say a word.

At noon, the entrance was extremely busy.

Because Lili's house was built between her eldest brother's and her own house, the gap in the middle is where the three families are connected.

Since there were people at Lili's door, naturally more people passed by my house as well.

The soundproofing wasn't very good, and I seemed to be able to hear most of what was going on.

I heard that Lili got engaged today.

However, Xiaoyong didn't come, but the matchmaker arrived first.

Leng Hanyan washed the vegetables while smiling without saying a word.

Behind him, Nan Beijiu was flipping through a pair of reading glasses and an old collection of ancient books that he had gotten from somewhere.

Leng Hanyan was wearing an apron around her chest and a white short-sleeved shirt that was old and yellow, with the cuffs on her arms greasy and black.

The sun at the seaside was extremely strong. At this moment, she had lost her previous image of a rich girl. Instead, she was a genuine rural woman who made a living by the sea.

At this time outside the door.

The door was not closed, but my sister-in-law knocked three times out of courtesy.

"Sister Hanyan, stop cooking and put them in the refrigerator! They didn't have time to inform everyone to help yesterday, and Xiaoyong suddenly informed us that he was getting engaged today. Come over and help everyone to have fun. I'm going to another house, pack up and come over quickly, you hear me."

Without waiting for Leng Hanyan to reply.

My sister-in-law immediately turned around and hurried to inform other families.

He muttered to himself as he walked.

"This matter is so hasty. At least they should have waited a few days. They met on the first day and got engaged on the second day. This is too embarrassing for the villagers!"

Leng Hanyan couldn't stop laughing as she looked at her sister-in-law's receding back.

Get up and dry the vegetables in your hands against the water, then put them in a bowl.

Thinking about what happened last night, she couldn't stop smiling.

After putting the pots and vegetables into the refrigerator, he walked to Nanbeijiu and stared at the book in his hand, taking a quick look.

Leng Hanyan widened her eyes.

It's all ancient Chinese, how can he understand it?

"You know the words in this book."

Nanbeijiu looked at his wife through his reading glasses.

He slowly took off his glasses.

He glanced at the book, closed it, and looked at the three large, crooked characters.

Nod.

"Yes, I know him."

"What's the title of the book?"

Nan Jiu saw that she kept asking questions.

His cold eyes glowed with a strange light, and his thin lips were raised.

Confirm again and again.

"My wife really wants to know."

"Yeah, I'm curious about what kind of books my husband reads. He's so obsessed with them."

Nanbeijiu smiled maliciously.

He whispered, "Gold, bottle, plum."

Leng Hanyan didn't quite hear clearly, so she leaned closer to his ear.

He said loudly: "I didn't hear what book you were talking about."

"Jin Ping Mei!"

Leng Hanyan took a closer look and saw that the cover was old and yellow with three large characters on it, but no pictures or logos.

Then pick it up and open it.

No pictures, just a bunch of squiggly words.

Freshmen are curious.

"No, this is a banned book. Where did you find it? And why are there no pictures on it?"

"Books at that time didn't have pictures. It was just a small page, and I would draw on it with a brush."

"You mean this is a real ancient book?"

Leng Hanxin was a little unsure. This was so old, it would have rotted away by now.

Nan Jiu said earnestly: "This is an ancient book, it has a history of thousands of years."

Leng Hanyan rolled her eyes after hearing this.

"Where did it come from?"

"I'll tell you later."

"No, why are you looking at this?"

“Find passion.”

After hearing this, Leng Hanyan was really furious.

He put his hands on his hips and angrily scolded Nanbeijiu.

"Nan, Bei, Jiu, do you want to die?"

Nanbeijiu dodged his eyes and smiled evilly, knowing that he couldn't make his wife angry.

The thin one stood up.

"Wife, I'm going to help! Come quickly."

He ignored his furious wife behind him.

Leng Hanyannu stared at Nanbeijiu who disappeared in a flash.

He was so angry that he uttered a few words through his thin lips.

"Nan, Bei, Jiu, you wait for me."

Soon.

There are more and more people at Lili's house.

Nanjiu still follows behind his elder brother.

At this moment, the eldest brother and Xiaoyong had just returned from shopping.

Leng Hanyan and several other women brought the pots, pans, and utensils that were available from their own homes, and moved those that were not enough from other homes.

Nanjiu is also busy preparing the betrothal gifts that Xiaoyong bought.

I heard that the betrothal money wasn't much, or was it chipped away by everyone?

At this moment, Xia Ke also came to help.

Leng Hanyan was a little curious, because on weekdays, it was rare to see men here during the day, and she hadn't seen Lu Gang since that day.

The men here only appear during the day when there is something important or small.

Could it be that he is like Nanjiu, who stays at home every day waiting to be supported by a woman?

Just when Leng Hanyan was puzzled.

Several people around me started talking.

"Young man, look, Xiaoyong is getting married, and now it's your turn."

"Of course not. Everyone thought you were the first to get married. Who would have thought it would be Xiaoyong?"

"Humph, you've let down such a good girl. I'm afraid there's no hope for you to get married."

There was even a woman who sneered and said something sarcastic.

A group of people turned around and stared at the woman.

"Aunt Wang, this is a place where people live in harmony and love each other. Even though they made mistakes, young people all make mistakes."

"That's right, we need to give young people a chance to mend their ways."

Some people even tried to smooth things over.

"Forget it, forget it. It's all in the past. Harmony brings wealth."

While a group of people were discussing heatedly, the person involved quietly followed Nanjiu to move things.

He neither refuted nor slandered but endured it silently.

Leng Hanyan had no intention of listening to the gossip of the group of people, her whole mind was on Nan Jiu.

Her eyes were fixed on him as he went in and out.

Nanbeijiu's scalp tingled from staring at him.

Nanbeijiu simply stayed busy at home and didn't go out.

At this moment, Leng Hanyan was squatting on the ground washing the borrowed dishes, her eyes fixed on the door so as not to miss Nan Jiu, but who knew that he just wouldn't come out.

At this time, the eldest sister-in-law pulled Lili's mother aside and was about to speak.

I was very close to Leng Hanyan, so I could hear every word clearly.

I just listened to what my sister-in-law said.

"Auntie, Lili and Xiaoyong are engaged today, and I'll explain the situation to you. Our Xiaoyong fled here just like Lili. He had a father, but he died of illness a few years ago. Also, I'll only tell you about the betrothal gift. The two young people must have agreed on it privately, and you're the only one missing."

When Lili's mother heard that the two had the same fate, she hurriedly stopped her sister-in-law without waiting for her to say anything.

"You mean the same fate refers to the fugitives?"

The eldest sister-in-law looked at Lili's mother with some worry in her eyes.

It seems that she didn't tell her mother the truth.

Nodding in response.

"Yes, but don't worry. Our island is basically undetectable, so you can live safely as long as you stay on the island."

Lili's mother couldn't believe that there was such a magical place in the world.

"How can I write to you?"

"Xiaoyong has been here for 20 years and has always been fine."

After hearing this, Lili’s mother looked for Xiaoyong in the crowd.

He looks about 40, so about 20 years old is reasonable.

"What about the bride price?"

The sister-in-law glanced at Xiaoyong and gave him a look that reassured him.

He came back to his senses and looked at Lili's mother.

"Xiaoyong has no relatives. All of us on the island are his family. But we are not very wealthy here, so the betrothal gifts we have collected are not much, only a few thousand yuan. But don't worry, life on the island is very easy. As the saying goes, you live by the mountain, you eat by the mountain; you live by the sea, you eat by the sea. So there are very few expenses."

"What if we have children in the future?"

The sister-in-law clenched her hands, looked a little nervous, and had a flattering look on her face.

I was afraid that what I said was not right and Lili’s mother would not agree.

Who knew Xiaoyong had a successful blind date yesterday and got engaged today, without even telling the other person’s mother.

It was almost like executing first and reporting later. No one could accept it.

"Child, it's easy. There's no tuition fee in our school. It just depends on how high your expectations are."

"It's impossible that I don't need to pay tuition to go to school. There is no such thing as falling pie in the sky."

"Yes, if you don't believe me, ask your sister Leng Hanyan who is washing dishes next to you. She has two children who go to school on the island, and they only came to the island last month. They get along with us like a family."

Lili's mother looked at Leng Hanyan who was squatting on the ground.

Leng Hanyan was washing dishes when she heard someone talking about herself.

He turned around and agreed.

"That's true, Auntie. I don't know if you saw my child during the day. You saw him at dinner time, after school."

Lili's mother was skeptical and cast her twilight towards the woman in front of her.

I have many questions in my mind.

"It's not up to me to decide. She should make the decision about the children. After all, they will be the ones to make a living in the future."

Although Lili's mother said this, she turned around and looked for Lili.

"Lili, Lili."

"Hey. Mom."
