"I was thinking how time flies. My eldest brother is going to marry my eldest sister-in-law soon. Why do I feel like many things happened just yesterday? I can't quite react." Li Mingxia said with a smile.

After hearing this, Li Zhengde felt the same way. The brothers and sisters had a very good relationship, so naturally they were in sync with each other.

"Fortunately, my eldest brother is getting married and doesn't have to go to someone else's house, otherwise I would feel very uncomfortable." When saying this, Li Zhengde suddenly thought of Li Mingxia, and thought that fortunately his sister had no plans to get married, otherwise, Li Zhengde would feel that life would be bleak at the thought of being separated from his sister.

Li Mingxia smiled and said, "Now that you haven't met a girl you like, you naturally feel reluctant to leave your family. When you meet the person you can know and accompany for the rest of your life, you won't think so anymore."

Li Zhengde did not refute, but just lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Li Mingxia didn't find his expression funny, and didn't urge him to answer. He closed his eyes and leaned back in the carriage to take a nap.

I woke up too early in the morning and slept so late last night. I might as well take a good rest now since there is still some distance to go to the town.

Li Zhengde raised his head and glanced at his sister, who was not sure whether she was asleep or not. He was still thinking about what Li Mingxia had just said.

He is still young and doesn't know what love or romance is, and he doesn't have any special concept about these things. But he knows very clearly that even if he really meets such a person in the future, he will not want to be separated from his family, let alone Li Mingxia.

Anyway, I am getting married, just like my eldest brother, so I don’t need to go to someone else’s house. Anyway, I will not be separated from my family.

It was still early when Li Sanlang and Zhang brought a few servants to the Li family's old house. Everyone in the Li family had just finished their meal, and the table was full of leftovers, which had not been cleared yet.

Old Mrs. Zheng was sitting upright on the kang. The moment she saw Zhang, her already straight back seemed to want to poke through the roof and reach the sky.

Zhang had long been accustomed to Mrs. Zheng's behavior and didn't care at all. She just pretended not to see it and followed Li Sanlang to greet Mrs. Zheng and Mr. Li.

Mr. Li's attitude was very good. He was happy to see Zhang wanted to come over. I guess he thought Zhang would not come, and now it was a pleasant surprise.

"The third son's wife is a person who knows how to deal with situations. No matter what, Dad is happy that she can come today! Even though your mother doesn't say it, she is actually thinking about this matter too." Old Master Li held Li Sanlang's hand and said with a smile, his eyes full of relief as he looked at the two of them.

I thought my third son and daughter-in-law had become estranged from me, but now it seems there is still room for reconciliation.

This time, Mr. Li said something right. Mrs. Zheng was indeed very happy. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had acted like a mother-in-law in front of Zhang. She could never catch sight of her at other times, but today she had her. She absolutely could not miss such a good opportunity.

Old Mrs. Zheng looked at Zhang, who was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, and snorted.

Zhang pretended not to hear and lowered her head without any reaction.

Old Mrs. Zheng cursed in her heart, thinking that Zhang was so powerful now that she even dared to pretend to be deaf and dumb. She didn't know who gave her the courage. If it had happened in the past, wouldn't she have been trembling with fear?

"Hmph! You guys have grown wings. Those who know you are here to help our Mei'e, while those who don't think you are here to look for an in-law! You are dressed in all kinds of red and green, don't you feel embarrassed at all? Aren't you afraid that others will talk about our third brother behind our back? You have no shame at all. It's just that our Li family is honest. If it were any other family, you would have been kicked out with a stick. Go back to your Zhang family to eat coarse food!" Old Mrs. Zheng pointed at Zhang and started to curse immediately, one after another without stopping for a moment.

Zhang felt a little dazed for a moment, as if she had returned to the time when she had not yet separated from the family and lived her life listening to these scoldings every day. Occasionally, when the scoldings became lighter, Zhang felt as if it was New Year's Day.

It has been so long since the family was separated, and it seemed like the last time she was scolded was a thing of the previous life. Suddenly, when she heard Zhang's words, she felt her blood boiling and she could hardly stand.

Zhima quickly supported Zhang and thought of Li Mingxia's instructions. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Sanlang speak first.

"Who's talking about my wife? Mom? Tell me your name."

There was a constant stream of talking in the room, and there were so many people there. Li Sanlang was not the type of person who would shout at the top of his lungs, so Mrs. Zheng didn't hear him clearly the first time he spoke, but she saw Li Sanlang open his mouth.

"Third brother, what did you say? Speak louder. You are a grown man, but why do you seem to be unable to open your mouth when you speak? Can you speak more clearly? I really don't like your behavior at all." Old Mrs. Zheng said impatiently.

"I say, Mom, didn't you say that someone was talking about my wife behind her back? Tell me who it is, tell me her name." Li Sanlang said loudly.

This time he spoke so loudly that everyone in the room heard it and fell silent instantly.

In fact, everyone knows that what Mrs. Zheng said about "some people", "some people" and "some people" are all made up. She never goes out, and no matter whether anyone gossips about her or not, no one will talk about it in front of her. This is her own idea and has nothing to do with others. It's just that she can't say it directly, so she puts the blame on others. Anyway, she has the final say in the Li family's old house. It's her one-man show. She can say whatever she wants and say it however she wants, and no one dares to refute her.

But those were all in the past. Now Li Sanlang would not let his wife suffer these grievances for no reason.

Without saying anything else, Li Sanlang knew best how good Zhang was to him. Moreover, Old Lady Zheng was finding fault, saying that Zhang was wearing red and green, but in fact she was just wearing a green jacket embroidered with a few red flowers, which was half-new and half-old.

Zhang had many clothes that were many times better than this coat, but she didn't wear any of them. She only wore this most inconspicuous one. Country people would wear their best clothes when attending public events. Why didn't Zhang wear good clothes or expensive jewelry? Even if Zhang didn't say these things directly, didn't Li Sanlang know why?

It was already felt that Zhang's life was not easy. After entering the room, before she even sat down, she heard her own mother starting to make up stories. Who could stand this?
